Memorial Day Weekend!

ok, i'm well aware it's only Wednesday and the weekend...well it's only really two days away now. my boss said if i put in a few more hours at the "front end" of the week, i can get out a few hours early on the "back end". so, the goal is to cut out early on Friday. plus, no work monday! i'm so in need of a "vacation".

this week has been insanely busy so far. we have a pretty hefty bid due on Friday plus lots of continuous and involved work for another client. 

last year around memorial day is when kc and i started talking about moving out! here we are, a year later, and pretty much no further [except more money saved up for cool things for our apt! when we finally get there...]. for Memorial Day, we celebrated at kt's now-fiance-A's mum's house...and we plan on doing the same this year! i'm excited...i like "get together's" , parties, etc...times to make cuppies! or desserts or any dish really...

kt enjoying the yummy food...

bonfire with the skank's!

i think kt and i were wearing mikey's shoes...

lovely day for a walk the next day!

anyway, trying to decide what i should make for Sunday night's celebration. i'm thinking of some homemade mac'n cheese and maybe some red-white-and blue cuppies [probably the raspberry ones done for mother's day]. my mum bought a "tiara dessert" sort of cake-pan and i was thinking of trying out a recipe for that...i haven't found any recipe yet...but this is potential the look i'm going for, minus the gigantic star on the top. i'm envisioning raspberries & blueberries and the frosting look...mmmm...

what do you think?
