Sometimes we roll, sometimes we run....

24-09-09:


This morning I walked the boys to school and then power walked back up the hill. It felt good.
I've sat and gawked over recipes on The Joy of Baking.com Ugghh. I could bake till the cows come home! ... (speaking of cows, I haven't seen one cow since I've been here..so weird....They're left right and center at home)

I'm planning on making grilled cheese for lunch for the boys. I still haven't had a grilled cheese since camp. I got so tired of them, so I'll eat leftover panzeratti! When the boys go down for their nap, I'll make Hannah's Apple Loaf...

*************************************************************************************

I've put the boys down for their nap. They took the cheese out of their grilled cheeses and ate the toasty bit... I had a shower and am making an attempt of letting my hair dry in a way that it'll curl...we'll see.
I'll make apple loaf now...

*************************************************************************************

...There was a lot of trouble involved in making the apple loaf! First of all, I didn't have baking soda. Second of all, i didn't have bran (but substituted it for Quaker oats). Third of all, I didn't have allspice, but just put extra cinnamon and ginger in it. Fourth, I used slivered almonds instead of pecans...Basically, Hannah's modified version of Apple Loaf has become even more modified by my lack of looking through cupboards. (hopefully it'll still taste good...it smells good..?)

*************************************************************************************

While my loaf was cooling, the boys and I watched Blue's Clues...This one is about reading.

My loaf is now being renamed loaf/cake/crisp. I have no clue what to classify it as... It is tasty though...which is a relief.

*************************************************************************************

I made stir fry and rice for supper. It was good, but I used too much soy sauce and now my fingers are swelling from salt overload. I've been drinking water like a madman!
Also, I just found out that I basically have the whole day off tomorrow (besides school). Gillian is taking the boys to school on her way to a meeting and picking them up on her way home. Fred has also spontaneously taken the day off to do house and yard work, since the cold season is apparently fastly...(uggh..fastly still isn't a word!...QUICKLY) approaching...I don't understand...It was 26 degrees out today...whatever!...I'm not complaining! :D

...I actually wouldn't mind it get a bit colder, then I can wear some of my nicer clothes...

*************************************************************************************

I talked to Mom and Leah and Ella this evening on web cam. I had a tea to settle my belly and then Gillian and I decided we were going to watch a movie. She chose Airplane, which is a funny/stupid movie. The DVD player broke 15 minutes into the film, so we ended up talking for an hour while folding laundry.

*************************************************************************************

I am sleepy and itchy. I think my foot may have taken an allergic reaction to something...Ohh well...

I'm sleepy...
OK. goodnight.
<3

ohh.. and my hair went straight...

  1. Hi Laura,
