First of all, thank you SO much for all of your wonderful congratulations and well wishes about my next big step! I’m really excited to see what happens and where grad school takes me!
************
I’m so excited that I’m finally on Pinterest. I know know why this thing is such a time-suck for everyone. So, in celebration of finally being able to use it. Here are a few things I found that I seriously want to make right this moment.
You might notice a theme…
Raspberries + alcohol? I’ll take it.
Anything red velvet is right up my alley. Plus, it’s so holiday-ish!
First of all, I love how tall and elegant this looks. Secondly, it’s Oreo frosting. LOVE.
Gahhh cake batter! Sprinkles! I really don’t know what else to say.
Cookie dough Oreo sandwiches. Save me.
These look sinfully chocolatey and brownie-like. Yum.
More red velvet. This time in fudge form.
Chocolate covered strawberries in a pie may be the best idea ever.
Now who wants to come over and have a Pinterest Potluck? 
Are you on Pinterest? What recipe are you dying to make right now?

I made a lasagna soup found on Pinterest that was fabulous. Also I found a red velvet crinkle cookie which takes the crinkle cookie to another level of awesome. They are sinful. But worth it

Congragulations you talented student, you! I just came across your blog and I LOVE it.
I am trying really hard not to go on Pinterest because I am afraid that once I’m there, I just won’t leave.
