Singing in the rain

February has definitely been a fun month... if a bit on the cold, rainy, and wet side of the spectrum.  I continued working out regularly, lost 6 lbs (yay me!), got to spend a Saturday in Portland, received some lovely Valentines, spent some time baking, attempted to learn to crochet amigurumi, took a whole lot of tests, skimped on sleep, and February isn't even over yet! Yoikes!  I have two papers due next week that I am diligently avoiding, but I suppose I ought to start them soon.  Sigh. Oh, and again, I don't have nearly enough pictures, but I have a couple :)

I had a lot of fun making and sending some valentines :)
Cheese cake brownies and white chocolate chip  brownies :)
Sadly the cheesecake ones had to be tossed :(

My first-ever cake pops!

Cake balls :)



All wrapped and ready :)


Hope They enjoy!

My only picture from the trip to Portland- Ice cream from Salt and Straw...
Delicious!
    I definitely am going back to Portland sometime, it is so much fun to explore, and I want to try so many more things! I think the highlights were Powell's where I bought too many books, and walking around town at night trying food from the food stands :)
    Also, I love Monmouth.  I was running home from school in the rain a couple of days ago, sans coat or umbrella, and one of my professors from last term pulled over to offer me a ride home :).  I didn't need one (I was actually enjoying it... go figure) but it really made me day!
Ok, now I'll actually go work, haha
