Hi good friends!\u00a0 Today has found me quite busy with switching to a different computer and operating system, to also planning out some fabbo stuff for OHC in the future.\u00a0 In fact, Scott came up with a great giveaway idea and we chatted about that for a bit.\u00a0 Definitely something I will be doing at some point this year!\u00a0 YaY!\u00a0 I love my little site and I want it to be awesome for everyone else too. :D\u00a0 While I was doing all that stuff, I had some tea.\u00a0 It was a tea kind of day.<\/p>\n

\"tea

tea time <\/p><\/div>\n

Honey vanilla white tea with a smidge of honey for sweetness.\u00a0 I did some more blog stuff and and Scott was helping me get things imported over to the new machine.\u00a0 And then I was playing around with Picasa.\u00a0 I have to tell you that it is way better than iPhoto, which is what I was using before.\u00a0 It’s different and takes some time to get used to but so far so good!\u00a0 Plus I can add the nice little water mark to my pictures.\u00a0 (It does have frustrating moments though.\u00a0 Grrr! But I’ll figure it out.) After playing around and working for a bit, it was time to get started on b-day dinner #3!\u00a0 What I originally had planned for tonight got kiboshed because I needed mushrooms which I didn’t currently have on hand.\u00a0 I switched to another fave of Scott’s, and what I was going to make will get made another day (right!).\u00a0 Scott came wandering into the kitchen telling me he was hungry.\u00a0 I was a little munchy too so I pulled out a little plate.<\/p>\n

\"cheese

cheese and wine <\/p><\/div>\n

We already decided that we were staying home tonight, so we were able to have a wee glass of red (and I do mean wee. Mine wasn’t even 1\/4 cup).\u00a0 Bottle opened because I needed it for the pasta sauce.\u00a0 On the plate is swiss, parrano, and kashi veggie crackers.\u00a0 I had one cube of parrano and one cracker.<\/p>\n

\"b-day

b-day dinner <\/p><\/div>\n

Dinner was spaghetti with Italian sausage pasta sauce.\u00a0 Now I did “healthify” it up just a tad.\u00a0 The spaghetti was whole wheat.\u00a0 Loads of veggies in the tomato sauce:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Onions<\/li>\n
  • Green peppers<\/li>\n
  • Artichokes<\/li>\n
  • Zucchini<\/li>\n
  • Pepperoncinis<\/li>\n
  • Chopped spinach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    I used good tomatoes too, San Marzanos!\u00a0 And of course Italian sausage, hot and mild.\u00a0 Which was from the WF<\/abbr> meat case, so that’s not bad.\u00a0 I did decide to live it up and do the garlic bread with butter instead of olive oil.\u00a0 I had a small bowl of pasta and 1\/2 a piece of garlic bread.\u00a0 I feel much better now but right after dinner I felt a little bloaty from the carbs I guess.\u00a0 But it settled and all is well now.<\/p>\n

    The wind has finally arrived.\u00a0 We are having crazy monsoon rain and terrible gusty wind.\u00a0 Our power has even been flickering and there has been thunder and lightening.\u00a0 That combined with some leftover work + b-day week, we decided to stay put tonight.<\/p>\n

    I’m off to finish a few more errands and then hit the couch with my love.\u00a0 Catch you tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
