baking as therapy

just finished baking up a storm. the kitchen is seriously my solace. being able to escape the grinding daily routine to find comfort in the simple measuring, mixing and watching the product of your labor turn from batter to baked goodness... it's perfection. (not to mention eating the batter that didn't make it into the cupcake tin!)

i think i wanted to bake tonight to combat some of the emotions of the day, particularly anger and sadness. anger at a situation that i have no control over, but one that i can see is hurting a lot of people i care about. sadness about a relationship that has changed so much that you don't feel comfortable expressing your views anymore.

one of my favorite things of the day though... bear was visiting the girls and when he was getting ready to leave, bulilit toddles over to him, he says bye and gives her a kiss on the cheek and she giggles. adorable. so then she started giving him kisses on his shirt (only place she could reach!) and of course belly got jealous that we were "ooh-ing" and "ahh-ing" over bulilit and bear, so she got into the act too, giving bear kisses!
