LOVING: Sunday night, I was really craving something sweet.  I could have easily whipped up a cake or a few dozen cookies, but that would not have worked at all.  I try not to eat any sweet treats during the week, and having leftover cookies/cake in the house would have been a recipe for disaster.  I’m on my P90X kick, remember?  Instead, I decided to Google recipes for quick single-serving desserts.  And I came across this AWESOME one on No. 2 Pencil for a chocolate chip cookie in a cup.  It takes less than 5 minutes to whip up, with only 1 minute of cooking time in the microwave.  I already had all the ingredients on hand and even threw in a little instant espresso to kick it up a notch.  It is soooo good!  It has definitely been added to the recipe collection.  Try the recipe out here.

THINKING ABOUT: Since I’ve been carrying my camera around a lot lately, I’ve decided to invest in a comfier and much more stylish camera strap.  The one that came with the camera is perfectly fine.  It’s just not at all ‘me’, and I’ve realized that I prefer to have the option to wear my camera crossbody, so a longer strap is in order for a more comfortable fit.  (And to stop hitting my son in the head with the camera when I bend over to pick him up :))  These at Sarah Frances Kuhn are pretty tempting….

LOOKING FORWARD TO:  I have a lot of projects stirring over here, but I’m most looking forward to turning my tiny pantry into a mud closet of sorts.  I envision a few hooks, a board and batten wall treatment, storage baskets, and a crazy paint color, of course.  A quick search gave me tons of inspiration, like this one from Apartment Therapy.

READING: My book club has finished up Divergent, and we recently moved on to the second book in Veronica Roth’s series, Insurgent.  I haven’t started it yet but plan to this weekend.  The first book was really good, and I’m excited to dig into this one!  I highly recommend it.
