What’s been going down

A lot of cooking. In the past few weeks, I think all I’ve done is eat (and sometimes cook, but usually that’s Justin’s domain). Here’s some things we’ve cooked lately:

bacon-wrapped shrimp and steak balls (Justin) served with almond asparagus (me)

butter-poached scallops in a cream sauce (recipe courtesy of pinknest) with sauteed asparagus (both dishes all me)

Then last night we had the first annual Iron Chef battle! It was Justin vs. my friend Tricia, and it was epic.

Life and other things

So I’ve been a real crap blogger.  I know.  It just seems like when life is going well supper busy, it’s hard to think of things to blog about.  So how ’bout some lists.

Things I’m looking forward to:

Stacy (friend from my trip to Israel) coming to visit this weekend.

Thanksgiving with Justin and my family.

Days off from school.

The holiday season.

Hosting book club at my apartment (my choice was The Time Traveler’s Wife - that book made me cry, in a wonderful way).

Things I’m not looking forward to:

Work tomorrow.

Any work with my kids.

Figuring out what the f&@k I’m doing with my life, cause I’m definitely not teaching next year.

Spending money I don’t have this weekend.

Calling back the dentist.

Cleaning my apartment.

While we’re still reading (if) send good vibes to the Thompson family in St. Louis.  Thanks
