I apologize for disappearing for several days! Things are crazy around here. My school’s homecoming was last weekend–I’m not sure how other universities do it, but mine has been around since 1884 so there are a lot of traditions to be observed. Homecoming is an especially big deal for the Women’s Studies department (I’m a Women’s studies minor). Additionally, I just came from the Southern Literary Festival, another really big deal as our school hosted it this year and I’m part of the creative writing program. On top of all that I have two final portfolios, a big paper for my Capstone class, and a handful of small projects, plus all the fun things that go along with graduating in two weeks (and getting my apartment presentable enough to host the family members that will be visiting for graduation). I’m not saying all this to get sympathy, in fact I’m not complaining at all. I love all of this stuff, and I took off of work for the month of April (and part of May) so that I could participate in it. BUT, I can’t promise much in the way of inspiring posts for the next couple of weeks because there’s so much going on right now. I still plan to update as often as possible, though. In fact, we’re in the process of getting rid of things before we move, so we’re trying to use the groceries we have on hand (including the two dozen “yard eggs” my grandmother gave me and several pounds of assorted dry beans). I’m sure this attempt with result in some interesting recipes.
