Day 28/30

Day Twenty eight - A picture from you last year, and now. What has changed since then?





So the one on the left is from January 2010 and the one on the right is from February 2011
What has changed?  Well, I still own that shirt, I'm still wearing those glasses.  My hair is longer and some how lighter, I got my nose ring back in I lost a little weight in between, though lately I feel like it's been finding its way back onto my face.  I am now a recovered Lyme Disease victim, something I never worried about then and to be honest, I don't worry about it now.  I'm also dealing with PCOS, which before I was dealing with it, but not in a helpful way like now; it was more of a "Why is my body doing this to me?!?!?!" kind of way.  Being diagnosed and starting treatment for things tends to do that though. I got my house to a semi perpetual clean state thanks to The House That Cleans Itself.  That was not the case last year. Hannah and I completed a years worth of schooling on a consistent basis, something that we had not done before.  And we're hopefully going to continue to do once we get done being sick and the house starts cleaning itself again.  I suffered the loss of my devoted cat, who would sleep on me and beside me and beg to be held and carried around the house while I did chores.  He was such a little sweetheart, though he never liked Hannah as much as she wanted him to.  That's probably enough reflection for now.  I am still a bit sick and could probably end up going on all day, if I haven't already done so.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to
