Spring? Yes, I'll Take Some Sherbert

Today's lunch. Rice milk, raspberry sherbert, fresh strawberries, banana's, peanuts, kiwi, and protein powder.

While outside exploring these past 2 days, I've found lots of things. Good and bad. I found this bulb, not in any dirt at all, but it's sprouting. It was near the daffodils, but not real sure what it is. So I am going to plant it in a small pot and watch it grow and see what comes of it. The bad? No matter what I seem to do, I can't seem to rid myself of all this garlic - elephant garlic - that is just not that good. I've pulled it twice now and yet I still have healthy sprouts. Ugh, if only they were good.

Tonight for dinner I made pasta with vodka cream sauce, and a large salad filled with avocado's. Mark bought this vodka a while ago, it's a potato vodka or something different, and holy crappola...just the smell of it makes me feel drunk for a second. I was a bit worried using it to cook with, but it came out great! While reducing it, the aroma was almost knock out strong, I'm almost scared to drink it.

I ventured into the Food Co-Op today in search of Mark's cereal ingredients. I will be learning how to roast and grind golden flax seeds. I guess I shouldn't really say "learn", it seems like a no brainer. I have a spice grinder so that's as easy as pushing a button for 15 seconds. The roasting, I guess I just throw in a hot pan and constantly stir? No oil, butter or anything. I even found some cool containers for all this stuff so it will all be well organized and even labeled. Hulled hemp seeds - expensive!

My to-do list on my fridge - the one for short term - is longer than normal. I am so behind on house duties. It dosen't matter that I put a huge bin of toys in storage, toys are still everywhere. It's endless. Always everywhere. It's been lovely but I have to scream now!

I'm dreaming a lot these days of a toy room. Mark and I have been talking about buying a laptop and getting rid of the desktop all together and just eliminate the whole office thing. That way we could turn the laundry room/office into a laundry room/toy room. Every single toy would either be in their rooms, or in the toy room. They seem to gravitate towards this room anyways. Well, actually we would stick the desktop in a hidden corner somewhere for the girls to play with. Isabel was introduced to the computer a few days ago, so I see 2 Kidzui accounts in the near future. I am sick to death of toys in the living room.

Everyday I think of my ever growing spring to-do list. Make laundry soap, finish dresser, finish hutch, paint ugly wall, paint hallway, paint the girls' toy cabinet, get the garden's started, get rid of cheap ugly bookcases and finally bring in the custome one sitting in my garage that Mark had as a child, utilize Aikido training and gain more patience, replant bamboo's, this, that, then another thing..kdlfasodfhoiwehfoiawneflkasdnflksadjf aotwor9w3ej p[d.

As long as a house renovation dosen't pop up somewhere, I'm golden.
