I. A few weeks ago when I asked mom what she wanted to do for Mother's Day, she responded "Clean the house". She wasn't joking. So we spent the day sorting through our closets and getting rid of old junk, but for dinner we all sat down to a crab legs feast (my mom's favourite).
II. My parents surprised me with a brand new 2013 Honda Civic for a graduation present!!! For the past 4 years I've been driving a 1992 Dodge Shadow from my grandma, and although I love that car, it was on its last legs. The paint was coming off, there was a dent in the side, and the passenger mirror was dangling off. I swear I'm a good driver... I've just had a few unfortunate encounters with the metal poles in my old apartment's parking garage!
III. Last week I made my friend these coconut lime cupcakes with coconut lime cream cheese frosting for her birthday. I'm not usually a fan of citrus flavours in cakes (I'm a chocolate girl all the way), but these were so good.
IV. My mom and sister have gotten me hooked on Game of Thrones. I'm still on the first book, but I'm loving it so far. And I'm excited to be getting into a good series - the last good series I read was Lord of the Rings back in high school.

V. I've gotten back into making my own hummus instead of paying $3.99 for a tiny tub at the grocery store. 4 cups of smooth, garlicky hummus that's ready in 10 minutes and costs less than $1.50? Heck yes!
VI. Even though my birthday isn't until next weekend (May 25 baby!) I celebrated my birthday with my extended family on Sunday. You might remember that my mom and sister decorated my cake to look like sushi last year. This year they planned something crazy again and made me this stove-shaped cake - with three layers of delicious carrot cake and mascarpone cream cheese frosting underneath the fondant!
