(Dead)locked and Loaded

I have officially downloaded Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris. Yay and squeeee!!! Gonna get my Sookie fix just in time for season 5 of Trueblood to start in June! I know that if I start this book tonight, I might not wake up on time to a) take Gabriel to school or b) go for a much needed morning run. Oh, the decisions! Start it....or wait until the weekend? Then, if I do start it, what if I tear through it and I'm left with a void until the next one comes out?? Sometimes being and avid reader really is challenging!

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week and Tuesday is "bring something sweet" day at school, so I plan to bake the teachers at the school cupcakes. Shane was supposed to find out what Gabriel's teacher's favorite kinds of cupcakes are today. I'm not sure if he remembered. I'll try to remember to post some pictures of what I come up with for them.

Speaking of cupcakes, this will be a slightly more busy baking month for me than usual. In fact, this really starts the busy baking season for me. Evelyn's 3rd birthday is at the end of the month, so I'll be baking for her and then one of my co-worker's birthdays is the day after and she has requested an Oreo cheesecake for the occasion. I'm actually quite excited about the cheesecake because I hardly ever get the opportunity to bake or eat them! I will definitely have to run a LOT next month!!


Although my right shin is still sore and the blister on my left heal is not quite healed yet, I am planning to run 3.1 miles tomorrow after I drop Gabriel off at school. The 5k is next Saturday and the training time is certainly important. I don't know if I should just go for it the way I am or if I should try to bandage my heel first. I guess we'll all find out tomorrow!
