Today was so windy that there was just dust everywhere! These are the views from the back porch. I can usually see tons of detail, I mean bushes and everything.
I've been a busy little bee here. We've gotten lots of housecleaning done and I've been crafting a lot as well. This is a pic of some stuff in progress. I love the cheesiness of silver pine cones for Christmas decorations! It's so kitschy and wonderful!
Doesn't that look like a box full of fun?!
I've also had some fun experimenting with my stir fry recipe and have to say that I made my best one this week. Of course, stir fry is nothing without rice, so I pulled out the old Zojirushi rice cooker that my maternal grandparents got us for a wedding gift. I don't know if I could live without it. It even makes brown rice perfectly!
I was shocked when we first moved here to find out that the local store sold tofu. Got to love this stuff!
Then there's the steamy, wonderful goodness of a wok full of stir fry on the stove! Yum! I couldn't wait to eat!
Ahhhh, time to eat! Finally! Stir fry is better with Takuan and Kim-Chi. Thank goodness for my family being kind enough to bring it to me when I run out. And it's all served up in my favorite bowl from my grandma's collection and my favorite chopsticks.
And here's Jason being a goober while I'm working on dinner. Well, he's pretty much always a goober, but I'll forgive him for that.
Well, that's all that went on this past week that I felt I HAD to post pics of.
I've been having a great day today. I walked a mile at lunch with a coworker and then jogged another mile after she left. I was really proud of myself and I'm happy that I'm pushing my body. On a sad workout note, I had to mail my awesome Everlast training wraps off to the company today so that they could be replaced. (I have pink ones!) We bought them a week ago and they already have a rip in them. I'm going to assume that it was just a manufacturing defect and that the new pair will hold up better. So, while doing the strength circuit that Jason planned for me, I will be gazing longingly at the heavy bag that I won't be hitting until the replacements come in.
Then there's Jason in all his glory doing his workout. I think it looks like he's judging me for staying inside and out of the wind instead of joining him.* What do you think?
Well, that's all the boasting and bragging that I felt up to doing tonight. I really hated not having my camera up and running for the past few days. I've decided that documenting the day-to-day with my little camera is a lot of fun. And it makes blogging much more fun. My new resolution is to never be without batteries for the dang thing! I'm just hoping that it can handle all the pictures I'll be taking! So, I'm logging off now. Demitri Martin is on Comedy Central and we are not going to miss this!!
Adios!
*ETA: Okay, okay, you got me. Jason wasn't judging me, he was just tired from all those dips he had just finished doing...
