So this past Saturday was Kevin and mine's 4 month wedding anniversary and today I had one of those moments when I felt like photo-montage-scene from a movie depicting how cute having a newly-wed lifestyle is. Y'know the kind where the girl is cooking for the first time in her life and everything's burning (I don't understand how they go so long without cooking before that moment, but then again I don't know how I managed to set off the smoke alarm so many times, so that's embarrassing too). I smiled the first time the smoke detector went off like "aww" but the following 6 times just made me jump around angrily while trying to swat at the smoke detector. The worst part is that I didn't burn anything obvious, the bottom of my meatballs was a little blackened and "crispy" but not significantly burnt, so I dunno what the detector was thinking. I was so upset about its beeping that i forgot to take pictures of the actual meal so, all I have is a picture of peeled garlic cloves and garlic bread pre-baking. I don't know if that's worth posting, I'll decide by the end of typing this haha. So anyway, I made Ina's garlic bread recipe, minus the same bread, I used a french bread, and minus the basil, I looked at the wilty excuses for basil at the grocery store and decided not to spend $7 on weedy looking herbs. I turned to my dry herbs and mini-food chopper to create a delicious spreadable mush for my bread. Oh and we were also out of aluminum foil, so I just open faced baked it. It was hilarious, even the simplest recipe I feel like I just can't do it up to Ina's standrads, i mena even the aluminum foil decided to thwart me! We just ran out yesterday, very dissappointing. Alas in the end my husband and I happily munched away on our meal and when we were done eating our spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and salad, Kevin leaned back and said that it was delicious, so I smiled and thought it was so worth it, even the seven smoke detector freak-outs.
We went to the grocery store for some late-night grocery store cruising, and ended up purchasing some desert, sorry Ina but I cannot make cookies as delicious as these store-bought brownie M&M cookies! They're amazing. And I refuse to use the oven until I figure out what the smoke detector's problem is (ugh, i'm ending that sentence with an "is").
As for the rest of my day. It started off with me doing some yoga off of my OnDemand menu. I love it. I want to master the firefly pose. I'm going to have to order a new set of dvds and get serious about really incorporating the workout into my daily schedule. My goodness I will lose ten pounds even if it kills me! Well, not not really, just until I feel like I look ten pounds lighter haha.
As for my card creations, well I worked on trying to figure out how to make a true business letter with a real mission statement and all that so that the hospitals wont think I'm just some lunatic that sprinkled itching powder on the paper or something. You never know these days, so hopefully my letter will make the hospital excited and happy to know that there are caring people in the world who just want to make kids smile. =] Ah! I will post pictures of the cards real soon, tomorrow's entry for sure. But for now I need some sleep and hangout time with my hubby, so off to bed for me. Goodnight!
