Hey Look! I finally have something to say!

Hello world! Well I began to blog 2 years ago, or maybe more than that...... I don't remember! I found I had sweet bugger all to blog about besides work most of the time so I stopped blogging. Now I have a 4.5 month old reason to blog! I have been putting this off for way too long but have decided now is the time to get back at it! What better time to do it than when I'm on maternity leave. So stay tuned for some new stuff and new photos!

New Recipe

Ok, so I totally got wrapped up in other (Christmas) things yesterday and forgot about the new recipe. So, it has been postponed until Monday, but i assure you there will be one on Monday! I love to cook, so it's killing me to wait that long! The new recipe is going to be an entire meal actually. There are two recipes involved and they are both from Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals tv show. She did both of these recipes as the main course and side dishes, and they looked really good, so I'll give it a go. The main dish is Spaghetti alla Elsa, the side dish is Roasted Sausage and Peppers with Black Pepper Cheesy Bread. I will post the exact recipes and photos of my meal on Monday. Have a good weekend!

New Recipes

So for those of you that don't know, I am completely obsessed with recipes and cookbooks. I got a few cookbooks as wedding gifts that I've been dying to go through, but just haven't had time. So now I've figured out a strategy. At least once a week I'm going to try a new recipe, review it, and post it on here for all of you to enjoy. I'm going to start doing it on Friday, and follow weekly as my days off roll around so there will be no set day of the week, and you'll just have to check back often! I may even post a photo of each dish, we'll see how creative I get. Bon appetit!

Catching up

Well I really have been neglecting my blog lately! I've just been busy starting a new job at St. Therese Villa, and it's been sucking up my time. As well, I've been really boring lately! I really need to get out and do some photography, and do a little more work to get my budding business off the ground early in the new year. I have been working on my website, and will let you all know when it is up and going.

As for everything else, Chris and I are getting excited to be an uncle and auntie in the near future. I am so excited to have a little baby around, I love babies and have been purchasing cute things for my niece or nephew to be and can't wait to see the clothes on the baby! My sister in law is starting to look really cute, with the preggo belly definetly starting to take shape now, I guess it couldn't hide forever! There's definetly a baby in there!

I guess I must say, I would like to be in the same position, having my first baby. Although, on the other hand, I enjoy it being just Chris and I and being able to do whatever I want. We just bought a new home a year ago, just got married in August and i just started a new job. So next year is looking like a good time for us to have our first, when I qualify for full mat leave and Chris and I have gone on one more vacation where it's just us!

What can I say, that's really all that's new. I've been painting and getting ready for the holidays. I can't believe how fast Christmas has come this year! Anyway, I guess it's time for me to head to bed, considering Chris has to work at 4 am :( oh well, that's life on Mondays.

Something in the water

So I'm not sure if it was a quiet spring, or a long boring summer, but I swear 90% of the people we know are pregnant right now and if they're not pregnant, they just had their little one. I must say it is actually unbelieveable! It started with my brother and sister in law announcing in May and they just snowballed from there! It seems like everytime I go on facebook another friend is announcing they're pregnant. Anyway I just had to post that because it seems like pregnancies come in shifts, either feast or famine! haha! It's exciting though, and I love babies and can't wait to be an auntie!

Book Club

So ever since I finished college, I have been craving knowledge. I used to read all the time, and now, can't find the ambition to read at all. I love books and have a small library of my favorites. I would love to join a book club, or even start one but really don't know that many people who may share this interest. I tried to follow Oprah's book club because she reads some great books, but what can I say, I truly hate Oprah! So that ended that! If anyone has any suggestions of bookclub in Lethbridge, that would be great, I would love to get back into reading, and acually enjoying what I am reading.
