Drinking: a smoothie. In a plastic cup with a green straw. The smoothie is SO GOOD, I have no idea what I put in it (there is frozen spinach....but that's NOT what makes it awesome...there's a lot of fruit, and orange-hibiscus green tea). It is not a hot drink, but it is hot/muggy/needs to rain AND it's my lunch.
Now that the excuses part of this blog are done let us move on to the more lovely things...
1. There is a pot of a bunch of things that were in the freezer that are going to become some sort of soup (also never be able to reproduce this soup). It smells like cabbage and beets right now. Yum. There is also a frozen chicken on the bottom of the pot. It's turning purple.
2. There are some banana's defrosting on the table so I can make banana muffins with chocolate chips. Need I say more?
3. There is also ground elk on the counter defrosting so Des and I can make burgers for supper with those little flat buns. I'm looking forward to supper!
4. I still have to unpack, since taking everything out of my duffel bag and dumping it on my bed is not working out too well. It's getting difficult to tell which things are clean and which are not...I'm starting to have to actually try to remember what I wore and when. Or smell things.
5. This week is busy. Monday to Thursday I am working 8-4 in the kidney transplant clinic (I'm orientating to the clinic so I can pick up the shifts when the nurses there go on vacation), and then Friday and Saturday I work nights. Then (also) on Monday I'm going to the Wright's for supper and then babysitting B while L+G go for a date evening; Tuesday I have to make something to take to small group BBQ; Wednesday I am going to the BBQ. I may be busy, but if you blog, I'll blog ;)...I think that will make Morgan happy.
6. I REALLY missed you while I was gone. Pretty sure you were the first person I said anything to when I got off the plane in Toronto. I LOVED adventuring and wished it didn't have to end, BUT I am glad to have you at the other end of my BlackBerry Messenger again.
7. That being said, I am considering an iphone. When we had wifi in Spain, I really liked using k's. At any rate, whatever I choose, we can still communicate via text, and then there's always this, our semi-neglected, but totally loved blog.
8. I own 3 vegan cookbooks. My favourite place to eat is vegan. I have no intention of becoming a vegetarian, let alone a vegan. However, I do like to dabble in these new and interesting and generally yummy recipes. Granted 2 of the cookbooks are STRICTLY bakeing and sweets. The newest one is a giant book of lots of great looking recipes.
9. I really really really don`t want to clean my room. Sigh. It makes me tired just thinking of it. In fact, this morning I went up to clean, but caught up on the episodes of How I Met Your Mother that i missed while I was gone. And one episode of The Big Bang Theory. This is why I went down to organize the freezer and make a list of everything in it...so I wouldn`t have to deal with my room...or watch anymore TV.
10. I`m gonna go over to Safeway now to get some ketchup and milk. (Interestingly, ketchup and milk were hard to come by in Spain...so as I thought `ketchup` I instantly felt -what I am going to call- "Camino sick" (like homesick, but missing the camino instead of home...which I also miss, but I am well, and happy in Winnipeg. Life if good).
Love you dearly!
This is a photo of me holding the mountains we were going to cross...although I'm pretty sure we didn't cross those exact peaks.
