Tired

Today's Beautiful Thing is feeling tired from a job well done. The party went well and my in-laws had a nice time, which was the most important thing anyway.

Good & Bad

Today's Beautiful Thing is learning to shrug off the bad stuff and go with the good. I felt myself getting stressed today, but I pushed forward and got stuff done. Things turned out well.

Busy-Busy

Today's Beautiful Thing is having a busy weekend ahead of me. I'm learning to look forward to busy times in my life instead of stressing over them. :)

Welcome to June

Today's Beautiful Thing is getting all my May invoices in so we can close the month of May. Probably not very exciting to anyone but us in the Finance dept, but a very Beautiful Thing indeed. Now, on to the (fiscal) year-end projects. The fun never ends! :)

Mmmm

Today's Beautiful Thing is the smell of cake baking. I'm making a birthday cake for my mother-in-law & father-in-law's combined birthday party on Saturday. The house smells like French vanilla heaven.

Bonus Beautiful Thing: a cake tip from a former professional. ;) Bake it early, allow the layers to cool completely, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. You can bake the cake early and you end up with a much moister cake as well.

Quick & Tasty

Today's Beautiful Thing is having everything ready to cook for dinner and eating early for a change. I love it when it when things work out the way I planned them. :)

Bonus Beautiful Thing: It was healthy too! I baked the fries and used nearly non-fat hot dogs. The fresh watermelon was sweet and juicy too. 7 grams of fat for me, 10 for him. Score!

I Can See Clearly Now

Today's Beautiful Thing is a husband who does windows. My garden window is kind of hard to get to and my hubby took it upon himself to climb up there and clean it. What a difference it makes too.
