Making Music
…is something that I could only dream of but I just simply have no talent or skill for. That’s why I’m always impressed with folks who can make music by stringing notes smoothly that eventually forms a melody. These days, up and coming artists have the luxury of creating music in the comforts of their home. Setting up a home studio is no longer reserved for the moneyed musicians with the availability of native-instruments equipment and software. The need for different instruments are eliminated with digitally recorded sounds. Talk about making a one-man band a reality!
Official First Harvest Ver. 2012
The most awaited event in gardening is harvesting the fruits of your labor figuratively and literally. This happened to me early in the week. I was finally able to harvest some of my fully grown bok choys! I was over the moon, of course! You know how much I’m obsessed with my garden. LOL. I worked hard with these babies and I started them from seed. All the digging, watering and fertilizing paid off! I harvested healthy looking greens. Some were already used in a chicken curry dish that I prepared yesterday. I don’t normally use bok choy on that dish but having fresh veggies on hand I thought why not add them? I mean we don’t have to always stick to the recipe right? It turned out to be a wise decision because the husband loved the food! It makes me wonder sometimes if knowing how to cook is becoming a disadvantage for us because we have been gaining weight! I guess I need to starting reading phytodren review because I still have some more veggies coming in soon!
I had to cropped my face out because it was still puffy. I did this early in the
morning as soon as I woke up. Translation: disheveled look.
The Black Simpson lettuce will be ready any day now too. The husband will be the one picking them because I know how fun it is to harvest and it doesn’t hurt that he loves eating salads. According to him, it will be done in three short steps – pick, rinse and eat!
Riding A Steel Horse
I said I wouldn’t do it but I have been riding the motorcycle with the husband. It wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be. However, I cannot ride for long periods of time. My back would hurt and my legs start getting numb. A small bike doesn’t provide a long comfortable ride for the passenger compared to the big ones. That is one of its disadvantage that we don’t mind. The main reason we got the bike is for the husband’s use when he goes to work which is just 5 minutes away from the house. It’s a big gas saver compared to using a car. We also use it for quick grocery runs when you only need to get a thing or two that doesn’t weigh a ton. This I learned the hard way. LOL. It is not the safest vehicle but he is a safe driver. He can avoid hitting lawn signs with ease and drives at a regular speed. I don’t think I will ride it in an interstate highway though. The trucks can easily blow us away and our bike can’t run that fast anyway.
Little Changes Means More Space
After working on Spring cleaning, we are now into rearranging our home a bit. The husband’s dream of living in a cabin home complete with cabin furniture will not happen anytime soon so we have to work with what we’ve got right now. We have removed some furniture and appliances that we don’t use which gives us more storage and floor space. Also, the husband put up some shelves for additional storage. My crafting corner has more room now too which makes me a happy camper. I’m inspired to work on artsy and crafty projects again. However, I won’t be able to do those yet till we’re actually finished rearranging.
There are two additions to the kitchen. One of which is this oh-my-gosh-I-cant-believe-I-own-actually-one mixer! Considering how pricey this thing is, I was extremely happy to buy it for $5 freaking dollars on our church’s yard sale. It’s not brand new of course but it works quite well. I have already used it to make sugar cookies from scratch.
The second addition is a dishwasher. It hasn’t been installed yet so our kitchen is a bit of a mess right now. However, I will be so glad once its up and running. That means I can have manicures again! Just that thought makes me smile from ear to ear. Hehe.
Read That Book: The Lover’s Dictionary
I have mentioned this book before on another blog post. I discovered it because of NPR. I was curious because it’s a story (some sort of love story) where it was told through a dictionary format. I think that is such a unique idea which is the biggest reason why I was drawn to it. It was actually an easy read because of the said format. However, it made me realize how I’m lacking in vocabulary knowledge. There were times where I actually had to look up for some words to understand its meaning. I wouldn’t know what stem casters are until I research on them.
Anyway, this is the 4th book I read this year. That’s a world record for little old me who rarely reads books. I’m happy with the ebooks because they were easily accessible to me but I might have to switch to a traditional book for a new title I have in mind.
