A New Home

Yesterday my roommate gave my landlord the news: We are looking for a new apartment and plan to be out by August. I am sad that she did it alone, as our landlord was sad and made a production out of it. She said we were her favorite tenants ever and she would kick out her grandkids and would renovate our apartment if it would make us stay. Its such a lovely gesture, but it is time for us to move on, and she will most likely be able to charge more for apartment than we were paying anyway.

So now I am starting the process of cleaning out the things that I have not touched in years. Sadly, I found hair product. Wow. That went away a long time ago. Sheesh. I don't even remember using it!

I also made my first dreaded trip to the Goodwill. That hurt. I took two garbage bags of clothes and books and walked fourteen blocks with them. That may not seem far, but it was. Oh it was. I think I will rethink that process.

Moving is exciting.

Blog!

I know there would people a few people who read this blog who would be interested in having some Playful Noshings. As we all know, I love food, and I am excited by reading about food. It's even more exciting when someone from my past, who happens to now be a nutritionist writes about food! Although I must say I am sad that her TV debut had to be about mushrooms, and hearing her talk about them makes me want to try them again even though I gag thinking about them.

Easter

Easter was such a great time. I started playing with my new camera. I didn't do a very good job the first time around and there were some fuzzy pictures!! I did find this nifty slide show thing that Picasa does. Here are the pictures that turned out okay. I forgot to take pictures of some of the food before we ate it, however, I did get the customary shot of ham that I like to take. Enjoy.

Hump Day

Sometimes Wednesdays make me feel like I am walking through a swamp; using lots of energy and just not getting anywhere. This one is no exception. I am excited for the weekend. I am going to make my first Easter Ham. True, it's already cooked, but I am going to make my own glaze for it. But more importantly, I am going to spend the day with three wonderful people with whom I love to spend time. I will take plenty of pictures.

Already Monday?!

Why does it always feel like weekends are never long enough?!

Thoughts for the Day

I hate that there are no bullet points on blogspot.

[bullet point] This morning I woke up angry. Maybe a bad dream, maybe chemical imbalance in the brain. Who knows? What I am sure of is that I have a great friend who took me to lunch in hopes of making me feel better. For that I am grateful.

[bullet point] Congrats to the everyone involved with the revival of Hair. It was so awesome to be there on the Gypsy run, and I love this review
Also their website is pretty cool too!

[bullet point] To quote the Indigo Girls, "You have to laugh at yourself because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't." I like that saying and the day has that feel to it.

Mental Health

Today was good day: Brunch followed by hanging out at the apartment. We have been listening to musicals a lot at work, and my selection on my ipod was so limited compared to all of the stuff that I have at home. It's so funny because over the past couple of years, I have gone away from the musical theatre cd genre, and today I have been able to see what stood the test of my time. For example the song Hero and Leander is still good, sadly Love Changes Everything just does nothing for me. Nothing. And that was my high school anthem. Sorry Sir Andrew!

I also journaled a little bit. I need to do that more.

If I were to fill out one of those "25 things" surveys on Facebook, one would have to be that people don't know that my feelings can get hurt very easily. I am working on getting thicker skin but there's only so much you can do. Feelings are feelings. Anywho, it was nice to put some things down on paper and be done with it.

I am not sure if I posted this earlier, but it's fun regardless - and probably very wrong:
