I like taking pictures of food I cook/eat. I sometimes draw, paint and craft things for people I love. I live with a man who just so happens to be the love of my life, so it's pretty convenient.
My current priorities are to be healthy, save money for a bigger home and get back to creating things.

Mini Sashimi Bowl
Tuna sashimi, avocado, wasabi, organic soy sauce
It’s been such a hectic day.
Looked at two places today and opened a checking account (to get a $200 bonus) all before 1:30PM. The thought of having to move and pay more rent is daunting, but our little family of 3 really needs to find a new place to live, and we’re nowhere near ready for a mortgage. Everything is up in the air right now and it’s been so stressful!

Feeling awfully happy from my wonderful meal. When the clothes are done drying, it’s errands time. Puppy needs more food and I need more 0.3 Microns. Nighttime errands make me happy too.

Healthy Work Lunch #236523
Shrimp, broccoli, crimini mushrooms, diced onion, brown rice, garlic powder, black pepper, BBQ sauce
Ever since my boyfriend started working full-time a couple of weeks ago (yay!), I’ve been packing lunch to work everyday, since he takes the car. I don’t mind it one bit! It saves money and fuel. I try packing lunches for him too, but he doesn’t seem to like that… He’ll just bring it back home and say he bought 2 cheeseburgers instead. Oh well!
“So what do you usually pack for lunch?” asked nobody. Well, nobody, I always just whip up something simple. Such as chicken & broccoli, veggies with brown rice, some tofu & veggies medley, etc. I’ve been very much lacking in the cooking creativity department of my brain lately, hence similar meals everyday and more unhealthy dinner outings. It pretty much cancels out the money I save on lunch.
I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately, and it’s effectively stimulated my lust for new clothes & accessories. Because I’ve been on a tight budget for so long, my sense of style has been dormant and I hadn’t acquired any new clothing in half a year. So I bought a new dress last night! My boyfriend likes it. He said it looks like “what that slut wore in Fight Club.” That’s fine by me. I just want to dress like a girl again! I’m aiming for a wardrobe makeover (over time, to stay within budget.) It’s doable :)
