So how am I passing the time?
The internet. I spend quite a bit of time reading blogs, facebooking, discussing things with various fb groups, reading news articles/articles that really should be called opinion, etc. :P The internet contains so many fascinating things to do. But, after a while, my eyes and brain get tired of looking at the glowing screen and I must change it up.
I read. Let me just say that libraries are the best invention ever, especially interlibrary loan. It's really too bad that my fave books happen to be everyone else's faves and I always need to return them before I've finished, or I rack up fines. I have $3.40 in fines so far, so you can tell which option I often choose. Right now, I'm reading a fairy fantasy novel, it's alright, not like Tolkien or Rowling though. I have a couple other fantasies that I'm going to start soon, hopefully they're more entertaining. I've read several books about Christianity, once I'm STILL waiting to get back, because it's huge and I couldn't finish it, even while racking up several days of fines. It must be a pretty popular book. I've read some Elaine Pagels, Paul Tillich, James Carroll. I usually only read the books that are on religious topics that interest me, but I haven't been disappointed so far. Paul Tillich is pretty difficult to wade through, though, so philosophical . . . I read a few books on Haiti before leaving and have been borrowing books from my sister's rather extensive collection. I think I'll be borrowing Lords of the Rings from her soon once I'm done with what I have. So many books, so little time.
I cook. Today I dug out my pasta maker and tried it for the first time! :D I made wholegrain/white fettucine, and the noodles turned out so delicious tender. I made a stroganoff sauce with lots of mushrooms and onions to go with. It was declared good by the ultimate food critic (Micah), but with the recommendation that I put cutlets into it next time as his mother does. *sigh* Just can't win can I? ;) In my defense, I was going to anyway, but don't have any on hand, so he will have to get some for me. I will attempt ravioli at some point, just to make my hubby happy. He loves him some ravioli. I love exploring tastespotting.com for all the best blog recipes as well. The pictures are to die for and you can literally search for anything and find tons of options.
I swim and fast walk. I'm not into exercise, but as my girth slowly expands, it is a necessary evil. I fast walk and watch TV in the exercise room and then swim whenever Micah has the time to go as well, cause let's face it, it's always better with someone else with you.
I netflix. I finally broke down and got netflix. I've got Nanny Mcphee Returns coming next, I'm pretty excited about it. The instant play is nice, but I'll be stopping that once they start charging extra for it.
I shop and run errands. Don't we all. I went shopping with BFF Naynay the other day for some cute bachelorette party items for "G", our other BFF. Speaking of which, G's wedding is only 12 days away! It should be a blast, as long as I fit into my bridesmaid dress . . . :S And even then, at least everyone else will have a blast. Lol. I exaggerate . . . maybe.
Anyway, this is how I pass the time. I'll take pics of making ravioli when I get to it and pics of the wedding and bachelorette party too, of course! :D Bye for now, lovely readers (or handsome, if you prefer).
