Avocado tree nubbin'!!

The pit has sprouted something on the bottom of it. Finally! James told me to throw it out the other day because it is doing nothing. Ha! Your face is doing nothing! (Not really though, your face does a lot, smiles, talks(a lot), makes me laugh, see a lot!)
Anyways, hopefully it will grow a tree, already. I am getting sick of looking at it.
Okay, don't lose patience. Stay with it.
Bread is out of the oven!! I hope it is cooked. I put it back in the oven for an extra five minutes. I couldn't leave it in for any longer or else the top would have burned. I will keep you posted.

TUESDAY!! yeah it is.


The basil is growing!!

I planted strawberry and hot pepper plants outside today. My friends Glendon and Michelle brought them as a housewarming gift. We had a party to finally celebrate moving out of Toronto and into James’ house. It was a lot of fun. It was really nice to see everyone and to be partying out here instead of in Toronto. I hope that this can happen again more.

I am baking bread right now. This is my second attempt at baking bread from scratch. I want to master baking. I hope it works. So far it is better than the last time. Rising perfectly. I am trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Either Spicy pasta sauce with bow-tie pasta or shepherd’s pie.

I noticed a lilac tree outside yesterday. I am going to go and cut some off. I love lilacs. They are my favourite smelling flower. I am going to paint polka dots on my nails! Then read outside. I am still reading ‘Eat Pray Love’, she is now in India. So far, pretty good. I am looking forward to seeing the movie.

Grease is on t.v. right now. I had ‘hotdoggins!’ for lunch today. I can’t resist. They are the worst kind of meat, but I love them!

So far this has been a pretty wicked day!

Oh! I did my taxes yesterday. I have never done them before. They weren’t as hard as I thought they would be to do. They were really confusing, though. I am going to get James to check them. I am going to go and hand in my application to ‘The Humane Society’ in Oshawa. I want to be a cat cuddler!

Easter dinner!!












I dyed eggs for Easter. It was fun and made me happy every time I opened the eggs! I want to dye the eggs all of the time! I also put a roast beef in the slow cooker with some veggies. I then made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I had never made a cake from scratch. It turned out pretty good! Baking is a lot easier than I thought it was! I made a soup with the left over beef and veggies. I also put in Quinoa(Keen-wah), which is a great alternative to rice or pasta. It is a wheat and isn't as heavy as the other two. Buy already rinsed Quinoa to skip a step.
