April Showers bring May Flowers

Actually in true Oregon fashion it rained today. But a lot of our flowers are out already. We have tree full of pink flowers in our back yard and daffodils and other blooming bulbs in our front and back yard. Beautiful! It would be nice to put pics of this on here but alas... it's dark outside already...

I had April Fools day off today and got tons done. I actually cooked- broccoli rice casserole. I was again reminded that it seems to take me such an effort to cook. I had to go to the store and then run home and start rice cooking and then I ran to my friend Judy's house and bought some Fri-Chik from her. Do they sell Fri-chik in stores around here??? I guess there is one store in town. Then I came home and cooked broccoli and was frying the fri chick when Brian called me reminding me that I had to come pick him up at work in 2 minutes. So I finished the fri-chick and ran and picked him up (I had taken his car to the shop). I came home 45 minutes later (had to pick up the car, go tanning, and get chai tea). Finished mixing up the casserole and stuck in the oven. Then I'm like oh... I forgot to go get bread to go with this. Oh well. Then I realize that something dripped on the bottom of the oven the last time I cooked that I forgot to clean... cleaned that up. stick the food in the oven. Ahh... dinner was finally done at 7. I think I started around 3. Now that everthing is done and our bellies are full. I'm like wow- it turned out pretty delicious but was it really worth all that effort??

I did also make it to the gym today. My favorite instructor lead Zumba. (it's a latin dance workout) It made me miss Ecuador.

Happy April to you all!

I should have done an april fools. but alas Fri-chik is a real thing. it's a vegetarian product-(looks like meat but veggie protein) mostly consumed by Seventh-Day Adventists. Thus why I went to borrow it from my adventist friend who had a few cans (like any good adventist you should buy it by the case).. I had a case once and it took me a few years to use it... http://www.sagegrocery.com/frichik.html
