Cake!
Made a yummy (pretty) cake this morning to take to an Easter pot luck. It was the same cake mix I used for the last cake I made, but for some reason it wasn't as moist. Maybe the eggs were smaller or I accidentally measured out too little oil or milk or something. Also, I filled it with strawberry jam, but should have just used the frosting. The ( Read more... ) -
trainer trauma
Nooo!!! My trainer went MIA. Actually... he had to quit because of something. Too bad, I really liked him. We'll see if new girl -katrina- is good too ( Read more... ) -
bummed... but not sore!
My trainer had to bail on me today for some emergency. Of course he didn't have my phone number written down right, so I still trucked it to the gym EARLY (after waking up and going to work EARLY because 5pm was the only appt. he had open for Tuesday when I made it on Saturday).
Instead of doing an hour of lifting weights I did an hour on the ( Read more... ) -
Gone Forever!
Damn appt complex. We have this mysterious wet spot on the carpet and I think it's related to our air conditioner, which has been making funny noises. Upon consultation with one of the gals at work we believe the thing that removes condensation from the AC coils must be clogged. Therefore it is not removing condensation as it should. Therefore ( Read more... ) -

wedding
I love to make things. I love to learn how to make things. Trying to make new and exciting things makes me happy. Making things I've made 100 tiems before makes me happy.
Realizing that making everything I want to make for the wedding will make me crazy does not make me a happy Claire. Part of me REALLY wants to make my invitations, my favors, ( Read more... ) -
Retainer, food.
Dinner last night was awesome. Apparently everyone already had plans, but I made almost everything anyway (I skipped out on the rice and the gyoza). I made salmon patties with a dipping sauce and a three bean salad with a kick-ass dressing.
The salmon patties: 1 large can salmon (pick out skin and bones), some green onion, some whole wheat bread ( Read more... ) -
FOOD! FUN! FOOD!
Hi everybody! Remember when I mentioned I wanted to start really Cooking again? Well... I actually have Time (the most precious commodity) in which to do it.
NEXT WEDNESDAY - MARCH 7th
You can come hang out as early as 7:45. Tristan gets off work at around 8:00, so if you want to come and snag dinner late, that will be perfectly wonderful also. ( Read more... ) -

Tristan Induced Shock Syndrome!!
Weeee! I had the best Friday EVER (well... after work was the best anyway) and now that the shock has worn off (well... a LEEEETLE bit) I thought I'd share some pictures. I am very very happy. And now... my life is full of more to plan. I like planning. I also like pretending to bug Tristan by calling him things like "future hubsy wubsy." Don' ( Read more... )
