this weekend

should be a relaxing, great one! :) last night i actually COOKED dinner. don't get me wrong, i always make SOMETHING, but it usually comes out of a box. :( i found that i actually DO like to cook, it's just that i don't always have the time. but since it was a friday night and we didn't have any plans, i decided to make some Chinese food! yum!!

during lunch yesterday i went with two friends to a market called Fresh & Easy. it's kind of like a Trader Joe's or a Henry's if you know what those are. if not, it's more of a "fresh", "healthy" food store. everything is made fresh at this store & they put it in nice little packages for you. it was the first time i've been to one, they are new out here. anyway, i picked up some Spring Veggie Rolls & thought it would be nice to make some Chicken Chow Mein with fresh veggies {which i knew we had all the ingredients for that at home}.

here i am...yes, i made {reluctant} Tim take that pic of me! hey! i needed proof! j/k!

LOL! i look so professional! sorry for my messy kitchen...i actually cleaned it up today. :) Fridays aren't my cleanin' day. ;) it's spotless now! until a few more mins when some family comes over for dinner that is. ha ha ha!

tonight we are having Tim's oldest brother - Jeff, Brandie & their 4 kids and his other older brother - Mark, Noah & Obi (the doggy) - Kathy is in Mexico. should be fun we are going to grill burgers and hot dogs & go swimming. :) it's 80 degrees here today, can you believe it??! i know!

tomorrow we are going to church & then going home to relax. i have laundry & i need to work on my project for school. yay!

have a GREAT weekend everyone!!
Love
