August
August is an exciting month. The heat and mugginess of Maryland peak and the birds and bugs in the trees sing all day.
Also, August 1st marked the four year line of my pseudo vegetarianism. I say "pseudo" because many don't consider a person who still enjoys cheese, milk in baked goods and seafood very occasionally a "vege"tarian.
But I do! So yay for me. I've actually been doing a pretty poor job with my diet lately, opting for junk food over the plentiful summer bounty of fruits and veggies. I'm starting to do better now that Kyle is expanding his food horizons. Saturday night for dinner I made soft, squishy cornbread, homemade mac and cheese, baked some Quorn naked cutlets (fake chicken product made with mytoprotein, which is just AWESOME) and served them with toasted waffles and a sliced Maryland tomato. Fake chicken and waffles is my favorite!
August also marks Romance and Izzy's birthdays!! Happy birthday cat and dog! We love you!
We may have to have a small celebration for the wonderful animals, they deserve it. Romance keeps us up at night crying out, "Raoul, Raoul!" We are convinced he is searching for his Latin lover. Izzy jumps the fence to run out in the street and throws her food up when she eats too quickly. Oh, to love an animal.
Things have been going well with my new job. The hours and money are no where near what I was making at Venable, but I suppose I like it that way. Everything is provided for and it's all working out.
Every single person with any hint of premonition has been telling me lately that I need to keep busy, I need to have projects to take care of or I will end up "creating something to take care of". And I do not want that. Ever.
August is fun! Today is my day off! I'm going to hike in the woods and then enjoy dinner and a movie with my date-night lover baby!
