Lots going on
It's been quite a whirlwind the past 6 months. The biggest most life changing news is that I'm pregnant! 22 weeks this week, and the little boy is moving around and my tummy is getting quite big. The first trimester was not so bad, as things go. Mostly exhaustion, and then since my immune system was down, I got sick then a sinus infection which was ( Read more... ) -
I think I'm going to cry
Ugh. I started having tooth pain on Saturday (of course on the weekend, not during the week when I could actually call my dentist). At times I wanted to cry as the pain radiated from my jaw to my cheekbone to my temple. By Monday I had figured out it was pain in response temperature sensitivity.

In other news!
We got a Roomba! I love it! It's like our own little Rosie. I wish there was one that would do the dishes, laundry, dust and clean the bathrooms too! Already I feel like a cleaner person.

I had no idea he wrote so many movies. He totally got the outsider character as a real ( Read more... ) -
Om Nom Nom
Just made some really delicious (toaster) oven roasted asparagus and topped it with a little goat cheese. So yummy, I ate it all up with no leftovers. Hands down best way to eat asparagus. -
Still processing (no spoilers)
I just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and let me tell you, it was so good! I need to go see it again in IMAX, because the IMAX shows were sold out, so I saw it in the regular theater. I reread the book a few months back, but didn't reread it recently because I didn't want to be comparing the book to the movie too ( Read more... ) -
Some not so good photos of really good homemade sorbet
I've been on a homemade sorbet kick the past few months. After a year and a half, I finally took out my ice cream maker for the first time, and made strawberry sorbet. That first attempt didn't go so well as I was too impatient to let the simple syrup cool enough, so the sorbet never really froze and I had really good strawberry smoothies instead ( Read more... )
