Last few days...

...leading into the new year.

Having the new year in the middle of the academic year really reduces the overall awe and impact. Anyway, got back into the habit of baking because I've been craving the sweet stuff.

Butter-less chocolate cupcakes

with peanut butter frosting and silver balls

Flourless, fudgy chocolate cookies

The lack of flour and butter is not 'cause I'm tryna' watch my diet, but just 'cause I couldn't be bothered to buy 'em. They were goooood anyway.

I've dressed my kindle up nice and snug in a mock leather jacket.



...and fed it with fairy tales and trashy novels to take me to fantasy land.

Take on 2012? Challenge accepted!

Christmas

This is the FIRST ever Christmas I spent on my own and it's not too bad, actually. No distractions in having to please anyone and total concentration on the true meaning of Christmas...Jesus Christ.

That aside, I've treated myself to a little shopping spree and got a new wallet/purse from Ted Baker's new range, Sweet Shoppe. Loving it so far!

Look what came in the post a few days ago.

Sweetest, most thoughtful gift ever. Thank you.

Merry Christmas, one and all!

It is with you I learnt that our time together will never be enough.

Be it a day.

Be it a week.

Be it a year.

Or to the end of our lives.

It will never be enough.
