California Rolls!


Hello! I'm on my spring break this week and I'm spending it in Jacksonville with my family = sleeping, reading, movies, yummy food, refreshing walks, etc. etc. I'm taking advantage of the downtime before I start another 22-credit term on Monday. No guilt here!

I guest-blogged (my first time!) on my good friend Tiffany's site on how we made California Rolls at her house a few weekends ago for the whole gang. It was way easier than we thought and thus we think everyone should give it a try. Check it out!

I also have been snapping a few shots here and there at home - a really good baked tortellini my mom made, pictures of the old cemetery, etc. that I will post if i can get off my tuckus. That's a big IF, just letting you know.

ant drama. so rude.

My thoughts today have been - "I need to post something about our move and our new house!"

Can't find the camera, so no pictures yet. My mind immediately recalled the email I sent earlier today to my friend Jessi about why I did not call her back last night. I thought it would sum up my initial thoughts about my state of mind.

"Did you go to bed early? I didn't call you back because last night I came home after class to tons of ants in my kitchen, which you know me. I told Andy that I take ants very personally - they are so rude, and they don't get the hint! I couldn't take my first night in this strange place with ants having free reign and basically a party at my expense. Rude!!!!! So I got back into the car and went to Fred Meyer and bought Terro liquid and Terro traps and put 15 little squares of the stuff lining the window sill, it's solid death. Then I noticed that the screen isn't even attached to the window that they are getting in through, and so basically it's an open door directly from the grass since we are in the basement apartment! Sucks big time! So I got home at 11 and thought that might be too late. Good story, huh!? ;)"

I'm optimistic. It can only get better from here, as long as this Terro does the trick. Is it weird that I actually pray for the ants to please, please leave?
