Well, April sure has had an interesting start. Last week I went to the dentist (for a crown), a Sharks game (pizza we get), a trip to the doctor (for tendinitis in my finger), a trip to the specialist the doctor sent me to for a cortisone shot (which didn't work) a classic migraine (complete with me on the floor in the bathroom at work with nausea) and a three day scrapbooking adventure in Sonora. Did I mention my full time job squeezed in there somewhere?
My Sharks are in the playoffs. Tomorrow starts the real season. 16 wins. That's all it takes. 16. I will be there. Bleeding teal.
Scrapping in Sonora was a blast. I was able to complete quite a few layouts, have a great time with my friends, and even cook something. It made the pre time of page planning worth it. You just might see a layout or two posted one of these days. The photo above was taken outside Cover's Apple Ranch. Several of us took a bit of a photo excursion. The ranch had some awesome old trucks in the back pasture.
Haven't had time to do much cooking. Doesn't mean I haven't been eating. The girls on the scrap trip made some tasty dishes over the weekend. I'll have to post about our pizza excursion as it was quite interesting. But I'm happy to be back and happy to have time to start to cook again. I'm finding that now, when I don't cook, I miss it. I miss planning and shopping. Figuring out which cookbook I'll cook from next. Reading the next food blog that will have me drooling. Keeping up on all those National
Food Days. Yep, I'm obsessed with food...and there is nothing wrong with that...
As you are well aware of I am sure, I have to hate you for the next week and a half and I wish the Sharks no luck. ;P
GO FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is there no hockey on my TV? For us, it has been 100% basketball. Is there life beyond basketball? - by a basketball widow

Peabody - Yes, we are on opposite sides until this round is over. Did I mention with our old coach, captain and goalie it's like playing ourselves???
Mom - I'll pick you up something from tonights game.
Grace - Food is good and I teeter on that line too!
Louise - Giggle, ah yes, I remember well your husbands basketball obsession...Grab that remote and demand a Sharks playoff game!

Wow! You weren't kidding. Your month DID get off to a crazy start. I hope your tendonitis is better, and that you don't get any more migranes for a long, long time. I get those too, and they suck.

Go sharks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you had a good scrapping retreat in Sonora. Hope you can make BB again too! And yes, there is nothing wrong w/ being obsessed with food! It's not like we could give it up entirely and just take a pill! What fun would there be in that?? :)
