Weekend Update

This weekend definitely kept me busy. Friday night I got to eat some delicious homemade Indian food at my aunt and uncle's house. Then I saw my cousin perform for the first time with his band "Katie's Got Guts". I was actually pretty impressed with them and had a lot of fun listening to them. I couldn't believe how good my cousin has gotten at guitar, he's the third one from the left in this picture. Check out their page on Facebook or you can just wait until they become famous rockstars.

Saturday I did exciting things like clean my apartment and finish that dang puzzle so now I can move on with my life.

I canned another batch of beans. Don't worry, at some point I will tell you why I am canning so many beans.

I cooked a bunch of random food so that we can eat leftovers all week and I can be lazy. Some of the things I made include sourdough mushroom stuffing, cinnamon chipotle chicken, baked corn casserole and a pot pie using my canned pot pie filling.

On top of all of that I went running for 1.5 miles.

Sunday was filled with doing about a million loads of laundry and helping my parents with yard work. Of their 5 acres, hardly any of it had been mowed yet this year, so we had a lot of work to do. However, they made us dinner and bought us ice cream so it's all good.

Lastly, I am proud to announce that I had my first harvest of the year this weekend. Check out the radish.

It was very tasty. Hopefully later this week I'll be able to pick more radishes and maybe even some lettuce.

Doomed

I couldn't resist any longer and started the gumball puzzle. Now I am doomed to accomplish nothing ever again, well at least until this puzzle is done.

Look who decided to join me.


Of course its cute now, but I guarantee that as soon as I start making progress and he comes over, rips up puzzle pieces and throws them half way across the room I won't find it so cute anymore. I guess that's just what I get for letting my parakeet play with puzzles.

Running Log

In a few months I will be attending the annual Ultimate Frisbee Beach Tournament in Wildwood, NJ. Since I am currently out of shape I need to do some running to ensure that I don't pass out in the middle of any of the games. I'm really not so good at being consistent with running, so if you don't mind, on days that I actually get out there and do some jogging, I'm going to post how far or how long the run was. This will give me an easy way to keep track of my progress and will hopefully make me more motivated to actually get out there and move. Feel free to completely skip over those blurbs if you want, I will completely understand. To start us off here, today I ran about 1.1 miles. The end. See that really wasn't so bad.

Looming Distractions!

This past weekend my wonderful aunt, who is a big puzzle fan, gave me this gigantic stack of puzzles to take home with me. Ever since they have been calling to me, begging me to start them. But I must resist as long as possible for I have a problem. Once I start a puzzle I am addicted- I have to finish it. The world is not right until it is complete. Even if I try to get away and do something else it eventually pulls me back. So you see, I must continue to resist the calls of the puzzles because if I don't, nothing will get done around here. The garden will go unweeded, the dishes will pile up, my husband will go hungry and I will lose a great deal of sleep over it. I don't know how long I will hold out. That one with the gumballs is especially tempting...
