Domesti- hahaha, good one.

I just want all you people out there who think I've been batchin' it for the past 5 months, living on Alphagetti and a bottle of ketchup, to be rest assured that I can actually take care of myself.

For example, this evening I steamed up some cauliflower, carrots, and potato, and cooked a couple pork chops to go with. While that was cooking, I actually made some muffins, from scratch no less: banana chocolate chip - because we all know that banana chocolate chip muffins are a perfectly acceptable breakfast food (a meal I've been missing on a regular basis lately). Currently, there is not a dirty plate in sight, and the clean ones, well, Jesus is drying them for me, but they'll be put away momentarily.

And to round out an evening of domesticated houseworkery, I went greeting card shopping for an hour. Oh the shear blissful joy of it all! Wedding, Mothers Day, Birthday, Baptism, Shower - all requiring a well thought out card. I was quite overwhelmed by the time I was done, as I do believe I have read every greeting card stocked by Hallmark.

Taking a little time out of the day for myself, I meandered over to the bookstore to peruse the bestseller rack. Books have not been a high priority for me as of late, but I thought I might splurge and delve into a classic. I must admit that I have never had an inkling to pick up a Jane Austen novel, but on this evening Pride & Prejudice caught my eye. I've heard that Mr Darcy is quite the romantic; I'll soon judge for myself. And if nothing else, the zombies should keep it interesting.

  1. Woops. Was trying to edit it cause I made it last night and it was shorter than it was supposed to be. lol

    Anyhooo.....

    Yes banana anything muffin or cake like is a breakfast food. Especially banana bread.

    Although this is coming from me... sometimes I have breakfast pizza, pie or whatever else is laying around.

    Also, going back to schoolyard days!

    Amy is a girly girl! ;) lol

  3. Pride and Prejudice is a great book! Hard to get through at some points. Our writting today is a bit less wordy so it is hard to get used to the excess words she writes in.

    Sounds like I should come over for dinner! You sound like a good cook. I strongly believe that anything that is not chips or straight chocolate is acceptable for breakfast.

  4. Well clearly I wasn't referring to the zombies so much. Although, yes, that book is wordy as all get out.

    Plus I was teasing. :p last book I read was 100 years of solitude was a neat read.

  5. I'm an avid fan of Austen. I started with Sense and Sensibility though. Jane Eyre by Bronte is also a great read!

  6. Guys... I'm not reading "Pride & Prejudice". I'm reading "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies". All the dull, longwindedness of Jane Austen, with an extra zombie twist to the plot which actually makes reading it bearable and even somewhat entertaining.
    Hey, no one said I was classy.
