Excess Butter Is An Ongoing Theme In Our Lives...

Yesterday was definitely a day well spent. I trekked over to Sarai's apartment and we decided to put studying on hold for an hour or two and bake instead! 

We (and by "we" I mean, "Sarai single-handedly") made giant chocolate chip cookies for us to snack on while I put together an "Awesome Playlist" on Spotify. Some crowd favorites included, "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire, "You Make My Dreams" by Hall and Oates, "My Girl" by The Temptations, and "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. We actually received a noise complaint for dancing too loudly...but how can you not dance to oldies? Regardless, it was one of the best days I've had since the beginning of the school year. Plus, the cookies were fantastic, even though they contained way too much butter to possibly be okay for your heart.

So here's to many more "baking days" ahead! Love you, Rai.
