in the past couple of days, we've been pretty busy. J finally got his beloved bike, big thanks to Matt from Literacy Bikes, and i've got a handful of goodies, made a new plush, and experimented with baking from scratch!
back to the bike for a minute, J's John Deere green bike is B-E-A-UTIFUL!and i certainly can't wait to get my very own (nope, i'm not jealous at all...ok, maybe just a little).
Literacy Bikes (bikes & books) is based in Lancaster, PA, about two hours away from where we live and Matt, the bike maker is great at what he does. J was a very satisfied customer.i love going to the Dutch Market. nothing is better than perusing around a market full of fresh baked goods, fresh meats, fresh produce or just fresh foods in general.
------another thing i love is bowling. last week we got the chance to go bowling with our good friends Kristen and Victor.
who won you might ask? your's truly, me! i won by three points, getting a strike in the 10th frame and getting an extra turn really helped me out, otherwise i would have been second and Kristen would have taken home the invisible trophy. we were there until close to closing time so we got to goof off a bit. i, of course, whipped out my beloved camera and started snapping away.
good stance, but they had nothing on me that night. haha ;)
------lately i've been thinking about trying to do our part in the world and following the going green fad. the other day we purchased a water saving shower head and some dryer sheets that were 100% biodegradable. lets be honest, its a bit of an effort trying to help save the world one little family at a time. but you can only do what you can, right? at least, that's what we figured. one small thing at a time and with us, it started with recycling.
i also recently bought a book called "the Green Book". it was listed on the New York Times Bestseller and i figured it could help me/us with making the right choices or give us the idea of living and doing things differently. J says my sudden interest in all of this is because i've been around She-town for too long. i thing it's because of my boss; her and her family are very environmentally friendly. i'm just trying to do my part, so shoot me, J!

oh! yesterday i made a batch of pecan brownie muffins from one of my cook books! it turned out a whole lot better than i thought considering it was made from scratch. i usually avoid making things from scratch as much as i can cause there's too much risk of getting it wrong. and as i'd mentioned before, i have no confidence in my own cooking what so ever!
let me know if anyone is interested in the recipe!after that, i managed to make my first plush since we've moved. i've just been so busy with making curtains, pillowcases, and working that i've just completely pushed that aside. luckily i was inspired by a children's book (I LOVE CHILDREN'S BOOKS!) enough to make one of my sketches into a plush...
thus! on March 25th 2008, Jiggly the Jelly Fish was born.alright now, this has been the longest blog on earth, so i'll be stopping here. gotta go wake J up from his drug induced beauty nap. he's not gonna be able to sleep later tonight, so i hope he thanks me for it. see you soon!
