Dear Diary:

Today I look like this

And I want to be doing this

But instead I have to do this

And I don’t have enough of this

But very soon I will leave and take a nap and get ready to meet my new little friends M and N who are joining the family and home of some dear friends.  They are coming from a little (big) place called Ethiopia.  Adoption is Great!!!

Last night I prepared some treats for them…. some sugar cookies cut out into (awkward, juvenile) shapes with an easy lemon icing (juice and zest of half a lemon + 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar) as well as some Chicken Wangs…  Sticky Honey-Soy Chicken Wangs to be exact.  I wrapped ‘em up in a bag and put ‘em in the freezer and voila – homemade, gourmet frozen snacky food!!

I think I would like to try these delicious-looking potpies next – thanks to the high and holy temptations Hiking in Stilettos always presents.  And it would give me the perfect excuse to use my never-used ramekins

Saturday I will teach my 3rd and 1st “official” dance class

And that’s about it.

Until next time….

Eyes only half-open Wren
