fact

it's impossible for me to say 'swedish massage'

instead i always say 'shweedish mashage' and one time i even said ' can you shay it shweetie?' in the same sentence when i was trying to spit it out.

HAHAHAHHA TRUE STORY!

thankfully, i can say swedish meatball without any difficulty.

today's special

if the cold was my personal trainer i would be the best/fastest runner in the world because i would always want to get as far away from my personal trainer as possible.

living here is the pits

this meal, prepared by the on-site chef using no recipes of any kind, included oven roasted rosemary cornish hen, bacon mashed potatoes and mustard lemon butter beans. with gravy.

sunday night never tasted so good!

peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

holy tongue twister title billy jean!

i want to go to sycamore valley ranch and search for mj artifacts like glittery footprints and fossilized buckles.

then maybe i could excavate a really great finding and start the neverland preservation society and name myself the board director and make an office shaped like a giant glove.

and now for an unrelated picture

(this one's for you)

i saw you!!!

today the out of doors was rainy and gray all day until about 4 pm when the sun came out through the clouds like in one of those cartoons where god steps down out of the sky with his sandals on.

minus the god part.

how to: make a tasty before dinner treat

now that i'm a fiance, i thought i'd better start to learn some kitchen things so from time to time i'd be able to take care of jeremy in the food department instead of always the other way around. also cause 'fiance' is french and french people know how to cook.

so now when people talk about recipes and such i no longer pretend i'm listening i actually listen and try out some things to see what happens and that's where this recipe comes from! listening!

i call it 'smokey cheesy cracker (with optional piece of lettuce)' and it was a hit and here's how you make it.

step one: put some crackers on a plate. the original recipe calls for 'peppercorn triscuits' but the grocery store didn't have those so i just got a round firm-ish cracker with seeds in it.

step two: put some cream cheese on the cracker.

step three: put a smoked oyster on top of the cream cheesed cracker (if you want a nice bit of fresh crunch, put a little piece of lettuce on before you put the oyster).

a good life skill is learning to see things from someone else's point of view

my point of view

spider's point of view

excuse me for my language in november

but this here tea tastes like christmas

archeological dig

eons ago (a few weeks) when i went camping i found this fossil of a snail and i thought to myself, "self, how come you didn't pursue a career in archeology?"

then i remembered i hate dust and working for all my life to most probably only find a dinosaur toenail clipping and i told myself to stop asking myself such silly questions.

radish confession

how jeremy and i spent last weekend

i was a cartoon from the 50's who baked a batch of cookies and jer was a handyman from the same era who installed a new faucet into our kitchen sink.

GO TEAM 'DO STUFF AT HOME'!

i hope you took some cookies in that lunchbox handyman, 50's me might have made a few dozen.

oh hello beautiful!

my oh my what pretty colours you're comprised of! and how happy you look!

i hope you like hanging out in our dining room nook thinger as much as i like having you there. i know jeremy keeps saying you smell but he means it in the nicest possible way. why, he thinks i smell and he asked me to marry him!

i think you're really dandy and i'd like to thank you for bringing spring in my home when the outside thinks it's winter.

today's special

i think turkey sandwiches on white bread really love the roof of my mouth cause they go up there when i take a bite and refuse to come back down.

it's ok turkey sandwich! the roof of my mouth loves you too but it needs a bit of space to breathe and for me to be able to bite and chew more things like cookies and orange popsicles.

smokey bear needs some new material

is 'only you can prevent forest fires' the only thing smokey bear ever says?

no 'what's new with you'? or 'how about the new american president'? just straight to the same ol' warning?

i hope i'm never stuck talking with smokey bear at a party. unless he also likes to talk about things you can cook (safely) over campfires. then we're good.

sundays are perfect for:

back to back movie watching

cookie making and eating

tea making and drinking

sharing a couch with a best good pal

the slogan i invented for candy apples

so sweet

so decadent

so impossible to eat unless you have vampire teeth

pea head

i got a new bed and it's really great but feels really high up like that bed in the princess and the pea.

i wonder if the pea in that story was hardened through some sort of fossilization process because otherwise it would have just been pea paste or pea mush under the weight of all those mattresses and not even princesses can detect pea mush when it's so many layers away.

DANG COMPUTERS

sometimes at work i reach over and put my hand on my apple and mistake it for my mouse and shout at it when it doesn't move my little screen cursor around like it should.

sometimes things that look pretty are fire hazards

isn't this nice though?

it reminds me of the time jeremy told me not to touch the top of the lantern while we were camping and these people who overheard him gave him this look like 'why are you talking to your girlfriend like she is 5' and then he walked away for 10 seconds so i touched it and screamed and knocked over the lantern as a reaction from the searing pain and then the people were like 'ooooooooh'

HAHA

i love jeremy.

another proposal

am i lucky or what?

my friend rebecca gave me this rare, multi-tonal jewel which besides being beautiful is also edible!

what a sweet idea-r. i just love gifts you can wear and eat at the same time.

next stop, nutcracker!

in yesterdays episode of jared and jenn take ballet class we learned a new move called 'fondue' which is not when you feed each other bread on sticks but when you pick your feet up to your calf and do a little hold and put it back down and look really graceful doing it.

it was a fun class but i felt a little hungry for melted cheese after.

guess what you should watch?

the fall!!

it's beautiful to look at and wonderful to listen to and it gets right inside those emotional heart string pinger pangers.

WATCH IT!

and then we can go for afternoon tea and discuss it like smart folk do.
