Baking to procrastinate

This year brings with it a lot of tasks...dissertation research, paper writing, job hunting, job applications, and then even more tasks with various projects I am involved in for school and work.

Sometimes, instead of thinking about the constant to-do list I have, I find distractions. This weekend's distraction: Baking.

I decided to put up some Halloween decorations and get in the spirit of the holiday by making some cupcakes. I didn't get very fancy this year with my decorations or with my cupcakes, but here are some pics from both. Overall, it kept me occupied for a bit and made our house a little more festive. It also gave us a tasty treat that lasted a few days anyway.
