Oh, deer.

      My Spring Break can easily be summed up in a few words- boring, stressful and just downright miserable. I'd prefer not to go into detail, but I lost a very near and dear pet this past week and that's never an easy thing to cope with and I'm still trying to get my feet back on the ground after making that very difficult decision. But where there's downs, I guess there's a few ups as well. 

      I spent way too much time at work. Whenever we weren't busy, I got to practice making hot drinks on the espresso bar which is my favorite thing to do. I decided to try and make latte art which is a lot more difficult than it looks. The pitchers we use are too wide and have too short of a stout to pour the milk in the stream you need for precision and it's a pain in the tush to get the milk steamed just right- not too much foam but just enough to coat the top of the espresso. I managed to snap a quick photo of my accidental latte heart. 

      I went home for a couple days for the first time since Thanksgiving and was feeling a little down after recent events. To try and cheer me up, my friend took me out for our favorite meal- Pad Thai. It's been way too long since I've gorged myself on rice noodles, spicy chicken and tofu. I've missed home and Thai Cottage the most since I moved to San Marcos. We then went on a quick walk in my neighborhood hiking trail where I said hello to some DEER friends. (Hah. Get it?!) I tried to get as close to them as possible for a quick pet but they ran for it. The picture I snapped is super zoomed in. I feel like my dream as a Disney princess was ruined.
