my girls.

I haven't written in forever. yes. i know. i was feeling discouraged. i have decided it doesn't really matter if anyone reads or comments on my blog. i will just write anyway. whatever.

things have been really really busy around here. i've been working evenings at the radio station. 5-9 weeknights. its fun! and i have a regular spot! this now gives me the opportunity to run my own features and custom design my own show. make it my own. make a name and a personality for myself on air, rather than just simply running regular station stuff, and taking about regular station things. my first feature i have added i am tentatively calling "food for thought" and it is to promote eating locally and seasonally. my friend jayme, who used to run the kitchen at nature's fare, is my food specialist. and every night she will feature a different seasonal vegetable, why it is good for you, and some simple ways to cook it. as well we are looking to include an online portion of it and post jayme's recipes including whatever the feature item is. that part i am still working on with rob. also, there was talk of being able to run my own contest with it, and perhaps give away a cookbook once a week!! i'm pretty excited about it.

i haven't made any progress on programming my own music for my show.

working this schedule also means that my time with tyler is far and few between. mostly we just sleep side by side. it's pretty lame. i hate feeling that the bulk of our time spent together is unconscious. we try to make the most out of our saturdays and sunday afternoons, after i get home from working. so far it is working... sometimes i just get really lonely during the day. i try to keep myself busy, and lately i have been. i have been driving my mom and rhiannon around a lot and hanging out with them. rhiannon and i have set up a weekly hang out on mondays or tuesdays (whichever works best) and the plan is to bake something, and watch this show called glee that i downloaded, and was pretty sure she would like. she does. its fun. last week we made white chocolate hazelnut brownies, and then my mom joined us and helped with chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and raspberry oat bars. all of that baking was gone within the week!! this week, we actually didn't bake anything. we did the farmer's market with my mom, and then when we got back to my house... my kitchen was a big mess (i forgot!) and we only had another 2 hours, and i didn't feel like cleaning the whole kitchen and then baking, and then having to clean it again. i was tired just thinking about it. so we watched a couple episodes of glee and i took her to violin lessons, where my mom was waiting for us.

i am feeling ambitious today. i finally made dinner last night... i have been planning on doing it. but i have to do everything myself and have it ready for when tyler gets home from work, so we can eat before i go to work (there is an hour window when we are both home...). but i have been having a really hard time feeling motivated to cook and have it ready on time. last night i finally made some yam quesadillas, and they were delicious. tyler did the clean up, and i ran off to work! this morning i got up and made tyler's lunch, did the dishes and cleaned everything up from last night, and then showered. now i have to take sarah to my parent's for work. i want to pick up some asparagus from friesen's on my way home (for dinner tonight). then i want to go on a good solid bike ride (i have ridden my bike ONCE this year... i am so ashamed). and then it will be time to fold a million loads worth of laundry, followed by working on the very intense baby quilt i am making for my friend darcy. and then of course... dinner, and work. i am determined to get all this done today... so... enough blogging. time for more doing!!
