Busy Day

I couldn't sleep last night so I ended up making the cupcakes/muffins that I wanted to make. They turned out awesome. My brother and my fiance couldn't stop eating them, and I made a couple dozen and they're almost all gone ALREADY!

Today was payday for the guys, thank goodness. And Andrew treated me to a trip to Lowes to pick up some supplies to start gardening. Right now the dining room table is covered with a pot for herbs. It is this really neat tower pot thing that has chives, oregano, basil, cilantro, and parsley. And then I have these planter things (the type that you can bury for transplanting) where I divided them and have some of the following to grow: Lettuce, Garden Beans, Broccoli, Onion (Scallions?), Radish, Peas, Spinach, and cucumber. I'll be working on making a garden patch over the weekend to plant things once they sprout.

I'm so excited. I get to cook, and now garden. Hopefully this will make stress start to go down in my life as I'll feel like I'm doing something other then just cleaning and school. I'll be doing things that interest me.

Even though I'm now starting to regret not getting the strawberries. Some fresh strawberries would have been wonderful. Maybe I'll talk Andrew into it next paycheck. After we budget our expenses that we'll have to be paying.

I'll do more pictures and such of something tomorrow!

Sickness.

And so the flu season starts early? I've been wanting to do more then I have been. Trying to get some of the blanket I'm making done. Finish up some projects left on the house. I still have to clean, and paint some more walls, that way I can then get the floors put in. Everything takes up so much time, and at the moment I'm finding it hard just to keep something in my stomach.

Ah well, things will get better in a couple of days I'm sure. I can't be sick forever and then it will be bustin' my bum to get everything taken care of. But right now the source of my amusement and what is keeping me at least a little sane is my kitten. He's a tabby, and we call him ReRe ... short for Retard. And it isn't meant to be an insult or anything. Just he isn't the smartest nor most graceful of kittens. Most of the time he runs head first into things, or lands on his head when he's jumping down from something. But his favourite activity of late is playing with a laser pointer that we bought and put on my keychain. Now when he hears the keys jingle he comes running from where ever he might be hiding and expects to play. 

As can be seen from this lovely picture. Don't mind the mess of the floor, this is part of the computer room, and we're going to be putting in new flooring. One of these days maybe I'll put up before and after pictures of all the rooms and explain everything we did.

Opening Speeches....

I figured that I might as well start putting my thoughts down at some point or another. What my goal is mainly for this is that I'll be able to post up some recipes that I'll be trying out. Mainly stuff I've found online and things that I've found in numerous cookbooks (don't worry, I'll give credit where credit is due). Plus, I crochet -learning to knit- and I will probably put up patterns or things I've completed and just haven't gotten bothered with selling yet. Although I don't know why I say that, cause I never get around to selling anything that I make. 

At the moment my life is rather busy, I've just recently gotten engaged and I'm attending school to work in a daycare. I adore children, they make me smile, and I figure it will be excellent practice for when I want to have kidlets of my own. It doesn't hurt being crafty as well, at least the kids will be amused with projects. 

But alas, welcome to my world to those that might be reading this. It's time for me to go pop in a movie and crotchet a little more in the blanket that I'm making. It's mainly navy blue with some white thrown in the mix. Oh so soft and warm and it isn't even finished yet! But I do have to admit, the blue makes my eyes go a little cross-eyed if I work on it for too long. 

Oh!! And stick around, if I get in the mood, I might be making muffins in the next few days. Will have to take pictures and post them up here along with the recipe. It's time to start getting in the mood for Fall, even if it is still so hot and humid here.
