Hello!
It's Thursday everyone! That means that tomorrow is Friday. I can't tell you how good that sounds right now. This whole month has really put me into a funk that I'm having trouble shaking off.

Don't you hate when you get in a funk and can't find any way to get out of it? I have tried everything. And I think it's not as bad as it could have been. Part of it is money and another part is really getting back in the groove of working this much again. It takes a little while. I'm hoping that by next month everything will have smoothed out.

One thing I've been doing to keep myself up beat is cooking. I have been stealing my sister Joey and cooking dinner. Last Sunday Joey and I (mostly me) made chicken stir-fry and rice. I also made a Chocolate chip cake. I'm not going to really put up the stir-fry recipe since it's not really a recipe. All I did was cut up chicken breasts and put them in a pan with  sweet and sour sauce. Then I added a bag of stir-fry veggies and most of a can of cut up pineapples. I wish I was able to cook more. I haven't had the time to make anything more difficult then that. Another highlight was we watched "going Postal" by Terry Pratchett. It was amazing. Truly amazing. I wish I was able to have dinner parties or at least have people over for dinner more. I'm hoping that once I move I will have the room to do this. I like cooking for people and having people over. I just don't like where I am living right now.

One day I would love to be able to have a book club. My mom and dad have one and I've always thought was a great book club. They take turns making dinner and hosting the book club. This always seemed like a great way to read new books and have intelligent conversation about it. The problem is I don't know anyone who I think would like to be in a book club like that with me. And I don't want to host anything at my place right now. Someday I would like to be able to do that someday. But for right now I guess I'll just drag my sister and brother over to have dinner and watch movies.

hugs + kisses
