Oh what a weekend this has been! Mr. Michie took me to see “The Muppets”! I loved it, I have always loved them, I wasn’t sure how much of the original Muppet music they would use and I couldn’t believe when they sang, “The Rainbow Connection”! That is my favorite Muppet song!
Now, I want to make these from Bakerella and have a party:
I got ready for our date, by putting on a layer of “rainbow connection” glittery nail polish over my red nails that Mr. Michie treated me to getting done for Valentine’s Day. The glittery nail polish was courtesy of my Mom and I love it, I feel like I should be going out to a party with it on, it is just so FUN!
We went out to dinner after “The Muppets” to finish our date night and then spent the rest of weekend, resting, cleaning, writing, cooking, baking and munching on Valentine’s candy. We also drank plenty of tea and hot chocolate out of our Valentine’s Day surprises.
Mr. Michie took me to Emma Bridgewater and I bought him the “Red Fox” mug and he got me the “Pink Hearts” mug. My hot chocolate just tastes better out of it! Of course there are lots of snowmen shaped marshmallows skating on the top of my hot chocolate, again another surprise in my Valentine Care Package from my parents! HEAVEN!
I am teaching a 2 hour evening Photography Class at the moment on Pinhole Photography and dark room techniques. I am loving it! And my feedback from the 20 students who have signed up, is that they are LOVING it too! So, I am very pleased.
I got a head start for my next class and made just over 2 dozen chocolate cupcakes for them to munch on during our break, I will make my Nana’s chocolate coffee icing to frost them with when I get in from school, so they will be ready to go.
I was missing home and had a real hankering for Southern Cooking, so Sunday dinner was iced tea, fried chicken, rice and gravy, green beans, creamed corn and dinner rolls. I even made banana pudding for dessert. While dinner was cooking I did a little “pinning”:
and caught up with some e-mails. I have a few to reply to, you know who you are! I also caught up with my Google Reader and I wished that I was on this starry walk with the lovely Susan Branch, doesn’t it look romantic!
I hope that all of you had a wonderful weekend too!

the REAL girl says:
Oh my goodness….you did have a magnificent weekend!!!! How darling, all of it!!! I love that you go on dates; we do, too!! That’s what we call them and it makes them even more fun. So, you’re teaching an evening class!!! How fun…with adults?
I taught an evening journaling class with about 6 or 7 students once and it turned into a psychology class; it was quite wonderful though!
oh….to be able to go over to Emma Bridgewater…what a wonderful choice of mugs!!! I might have something that matches!! (SHE SCREAMS WITH JOY!!!!!)
Do you have any of Susan’s cookbooks? If so, which ones? Her recent post about her Sunday afternoon breakfast/anniversary party was wonderful, wasn’t it?
Well…off I go; congratulations on your 500th post!!!! AMAZING!!
