summer

I wish summer was still fun like when I was in high school.

Summer camps

No school work

Trips to the pool 

Popsicles and juice boxes

Summer now is nowhere close to awesome:

Heat heat and more heat

work work and more work

No friends nearby

No family

No juice boxes

I'm having a really bad day today, can you tell?

cook bake clean

I've gotta tell you,

I'm an old fashioned girl sometimes.

I would love to stay home all day baking, cleaning, sewing, cookings... pretty much doing the typical "housewifely" things.

Before you assume I've never heard of feminism I'll tell you that I agree with the ideals that started the feminism movement but today I think many that cry "feminism" have just found a new way to throw a tantrum when they don't get what they think they want.

Anyway, I've recently been going through a cookbook I got for Christmas and I want to spend all day just cooking through it, but alas, I do have a job.

It's been fun to experiment more with cooking as of late. 

After getting married I finally have more time to devote to becoming an AMAZING COOK, because that is my current goal.

That and dropping some poundage.

You wouldn't necessarily put those two together but they do a fairly nice waltz with one another.

sushi detox

Body Detox Day 1

I visited Iowa last week and ate too much crap. P and I have been trying to be healthier anyway so I thought I'd write about it.

Today we decided on homemade sushi.

We need to make a meal plan and I had the day off and the time so sushi is the choice for tonight.

tamago egg

rice

pickle

avocado

and...

BACON.

Best sushi ever! YUM!

Can't wait for dinner

$$$

Dirty, germ infested, crumpled piece of paper;

Money.

I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the green back.

 I've been so angry about it I'm ready to get up and leave, 

so happy I've wanted to dance around the room,

so worried that I couldn't sleep at night.

That's the kind of power we give money.

It's our security blanket,

the instigator of the worst fights

a murderer

a thief

I've decided that some things are worth more than money

it's surprisingly difficult, and I'm not proud of that

But I can't give that kind of devotion and attention to an inanimate object
