The Not-Important Post

Been too long. Here moi is.

I have 2 funny (unimportant) stories. A week or 2 ago, I made an artichoke/cheese dip that we'd never tried. So, I mix up the ingredients, let it sit in the fridge a while, then we ate half of it. We decided to put it on the "Do-Agains" list. A couple days later, I went to gather some leftovers for an easy dinner. I got the dip. While I was at it, I went to write the recipe in my recipe book. Flipping over the card I'd written it on, there were baking instructions on the back! No joke! We'd eaten this dip, uncooked, and thought it was a Do-Again! I baked the little bit that was left, and sure enough - very good cooked.

My other story: As we sat eating one night, I kept seeing things fall from above eye level in a tree. Couldn't tell what. (Keep in mind we're 4 floors up). We went outside later to find branch after branch scattered in that spot - maybe 15 feet across. Turns out, there was a squirrel way up above our apartment trying to build a nest. Either his mouth couldn't handle the branches he was cutting, or he thought he was a beaver. Evidence says he might actually BE a beaver.

Now, just for fun, I'm gonna gather you up some pictures that beg for explanations.

I Painted My Nails!

In other new, I mentioned in my last post that I had a lot to buy last Saturday. Among other things, we got a bookshelf. Serious living room improvement in that one item! And we took a few minutes to browse aquariums at Petco. I'd been wanting a 10 gallon, but I was also wanting plastic just so it'll be more kid-safe. Because of that, it looks like we may need a 5 gallon instead. It'll be a while though.

Tomorrow (Sat) I'll probably be dying sheets for the first time. I mean, I've never dyed anything. This should be good.

We discovered this week that peanut butter soup should probably not have been invented, and that honey works great on cake instead of icing (don't worry - it's not chocolate cake).

And I am officially med-less! Glory be, I am free!

Other than that, there's not much going on. But I'm committed to blogging weekly, so here I am!
