I've got my heart set on [CENSORED]...

Girl spent Friday and most of the weekend in bed recovering from one too many late nights and a mild case of the sniffles...

Girl has a strange dislike of sleeping...She hates to go to bed! Sometimes, she has to literally force herself to go to sleep at night (especially if she has to work the next day) or to sleep in when she's feeling exhausted...The reason for this really strange behaviour? Sleeping is boring as hell!

Girl would so much rather be reading cookbooks and getting ideas for cakes and cupcakes or "admiring" the vegetables in her garden and cursing the slugs that ruin her otherwise beautiful cos lettuces or poring over gardening books, trying to glean ideas for her flower garden or trying to think of new ways to use/cook the abundance of plants in her garden or blogging...Girl hates to sleep when there are so many, many interesting things to do!

But sooner or later, it all catches up with Girl and then flash! Girl is left holding the remains of a candle, burnt out at both ends. Good thing for Girl that she has quite a robust constitution and a weekend in bed is usually sufficient to get her back on track...

Girl now feels like a million dollars after her enforced bed-rest..What will Girl's next project be...? Girl has a definite idea in mind but is going to keep it under wraps at present as she wants it to be a surprise for someone close to her (hence the somewhat obscure title of this post)*chuckles*

Hint: It involves this little tyke...

Girl didn't manage to make the two cakes that she wanted to make this weekend but she did make a drink using mint and lavender and lemon juice in her efforts to try and combat the searing summer heat...(a hint as to Girl's whereabouts, perhaps?) *LOL*

Girl put torn up mint leaves in a cup along with some lavender flowers and sugar...Boiling water was poured into the cup and then the whole concoction was poured into some lemon juice...Water and ice was added to the mix and Girl drank it all up through a pink straw...happiness...
