move over monday.

As of 7:21 pm last night, spring officially sprung. So when I woke up this morning to a snow storm, I was slightly confused. Instead of dreading the weather, I smirked at the sky. I love how crazy and unpredictable the weather is. I made myself a coffee, sat in my chair and a half by the window and watched the snow fall. Soon after, got myself ready for work and proceeded to spill a cup of coffee on my coat and shirt. Instead of getting completely frustrated, I decided to consider myself lucky that it happened at home and that I could change before I left. The rest of the day seemed to pan out okay, but sometimes the gloomy weather can bring you down. 


To brighten the spirits, I made cookies. And boy were they tasty!! Just a small batch though, so I wouldn't eat every single one. I made a basic chocolate chip cookie form The Joy of Cooking, but instead of chocolate chips, I found these really delicious miniature peanut butter cups form Loblaws. OY! So good!!
