Listening To: Arthur and I have been rocking out to the "A" artists from the server. So far we powered through Alien Ant Farm, Amy Winehouse (he loved her!), Alkaline Trio, and Anberlin. Maybe we'll go with the Bs for the next week.
Book finished: Sh*tty Mom; Peter Pan
Reading: Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein
On the Nightstand: The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa; The Zombie Whisperer by Jesse Petersen; The Baker's Daughter by Sarah McCoy
From the kitchen: I had some new recipes planned and then I didn't get to the grocery store until Wednesday. I ended up relying on a ton of standbys. I did add in a BBQ Cheddar Meatloaf recipe that was very very yummy. I ended the week with a disaster. I had a recipe for Asian Salmon Cakes that sounded great. I got all the ingredients prepped, opened the can of salmon, and immediately freaked out. The salmon had a ton of bones throughout the mix. And not just a errant bone, but most of the spine of the fish. Gag! I intellectually know where fish comes from, but it completely turned me off from the salmon. I scrapped the entire meal and made BBQ chicken. Hopefully I can get my cooking mojo back for next week.
On the Web: I've fallen down the rabbit hole this week. I started out looking at one person's crafting blog, which led me to about 10 other crafty blogs. Then I researched subscription kits and found some wish list items. And I also found some new lifestyle blogs. All in all, these meanderings have resulted in being almost a week behind on my blogroll.
Crafting: I got a ton of crafting done with this week. I played with my new supplies and ended up making 6 cards! I also completed my W7 and W8 Project Life spreads. Click here to see the cards and click here to see the Project Life spreads. This coming week I want to finish my one sheet wonder project and possibly start on my March PL swaps (rainbows, easter eggs, and scraps).
Watching: The usual round up of shows. We did indulge in a bit of childhood reminiscence and watched The Last Starfighter on Friday. I loved that movie as a kid, but haven't watched it in years. It was just as good as I remembered! The twins would laugh at the bad CGI, but that was the shit back in the day!
From Nature: We've had a week of rain. We needed it considering we are in the middle of a huge drought. Unfortunately the rain will do little to alleviate the drought. But it was a nice change and the rain reminded me so much of the Midwest. I love falling asleep to the sound of the rain.
Shopping Scores: I discovered Peachy Cheap from one of my Project Life Swap FB groups. They offer one crafting stash deal per day. The first day I happened to check it out, they had a deal for My Mind's Eye embellishments for $9.99. I snapped it up. I was thinking I would get a couple of sheets of stickers, a couple journal cards, and a couple of die cut. What I got was a huge collection of supplies. Look at all this stuff! I am so excited to start using them!
Project: I'm investigating the possibility of starting another blog. Still researching what's out there, trying to find a niche, and looking at what would be required. This would be a huge undertaking... Not sure if I have the time to jump in, but I think it's a great idea.
