Oh me oh my. Just popping in with some random venting.

So the Comic Con is this weekend and I am stressin. Am I ready for the con? Do I even have a choice? Will they like our panels? I'm also in a major rut. A food rut. I've been busy with the convention and I haven't been eating well. It's my fault, and I haven't been getting enough sleep. When I don't sleep and am too lazy to cook for myself, then those vegan cookies (or even worse) start sounding like a great idea for breakfast...and lunch. And I admit it, I am worried about what I am going to eat at the con, stuck for hours working, with no hotel room and limited money down town with very few veg friendly options within walking distance. I'm afraid I'll be eating nothing but tap water, coffee, and potato chips. ;-;

Yuck.

Seems like a silly thing to worry about, but I'd hate to get sick. Also, I've gained back some weight and I am SICK of it! I need to be better about planning out my meals. Especially dinner. I feel like I never know what to make that will please everyone in my household.

What do other people eat for dinner? I am always fascinated by this. Maybe I'll have to start peeking into windows around dinner time in my neighborhood.

Also, it's probably terribly hypocritical of me, but some friends of mine and I have been toying with taking a small weekend trip to L.A. soon for shopping and what not. If we go...I am totally making a trip to KindKreme Dessert Shop while we are there! ♥ Yum yum.

Anyway, hopefully everything goes well this weekend. And maybe, just maybe, if I'm super lucky...I'll run into James Marsters in a lonely elevator. Rwwrrrr! XD

I am overwhelmed. I guess that's why I am putting off cleaning the bathroom this afternoon to sit down and write something. Life feels like it has been coming at me extra fast the past few weeks and I have admittedly been spreading myself way too thin. But it hasn't been all bad...just chaotic. Both with my emotions and environment.

There's actually been some pretty cool stuff. Like our itty bitty bake sale a couple of weekends ago we held to participate in the World Wide Vegan Bake Sale.


Our Happy Bake Sale sign! ♥

It was SO much fun...and so much work. I learned a lot in the process, met some very awesome people, ate yummy things, made some money for shelter animals, and can't wait for next year! I am actually really bummed I wasn't able to make it to any of the other local bake sales.

Also getting ready for the local Comic Con and our panels. Tending to my itty bitty garden, which now includes a thriving yellow squash bush, 3 different heirloom tomato plants, and some broccoli that doesn't know if it's broccoli or not. Learning to crochet. Trying to available for everyone at all times so no one feels left out. Puppy tending. Cleaning EVERYTHING, then cleaning it again because the puppies messed it up. Ect, ect, ect. I have so much to do and I am really feeling the pressure. I would really like to run away or something. Although, last night we went to Macayo's for Mexican food. And even though it took them a couple of tries getting my dish right and having to get it remade and some English/Spanish translating I was able to go out for dinner and had an amazingly delicious meal. Which means I DIDN'T have to cook! No cooking! I just got to sit there, and wait. Ah...so, almost as good right?

Anyway, back to house work I guess.


Puppies: Blacky, Honeybear, Donut

This is the cause of the mojority of the mess. They look so sweet and innocnet here. Hiding their naughtiness. Especially Honeybear.

03 Chocolate pt1

I made raw chocolate covered "cookie dough" balls with cashews, and raw cacoa nibs.

I ATE THEM ALL.

No, I'm not proud of myself but DAMN! Those were delicious!

Sigh...this is why I should not be left alone when I am sad.

02 Spring thinking

It's Spring. It's bright out side and a little too hot in the afternoon, but what do you expect. My plants are tall and happy and I turned up my very first bit of earth the other day to plant inground. I'm contimplating seeds and tomatoes and sage. I'll admit, I very much like playing farmer. Though I don't think many of the people around me understand. It's a little lonely.

Been very busy. So many things to do. Let's hope it all works out. My friend G and I have been prepping for the bake sale we're holding for the World Wide Vegan Bake Sale. Things are coming a long but I'm a bit nervous.


G Recipe testing.

But yeah. Busy. Animals and plants to tend to, house chores, projects left waiting to be finished. Probabaly should not be playing online. ;)

First post. I am not sure what to say. I am sure no matter I say it will never be nearly as witty as I think it should be. So then, what's left for me to say?

I am sleepy. Spring time calls for naps with open widows and tea and soft cakes. All of which have been a part of my today. I'm day-dreaming of being a farmer or an Indian maiden stading in tall grass in an open sunny plane.

So many things are changing, but I suppose that's the nature of things and Spring time marks a time to ebrace them. Prickly and thorny, and rough to the touch though they may be.

So here goes nuthin.
