26 of 365! Layed my clothes in the bathroom for after my shower. When I went to get dressed, noticed this piece of string on my pants. I thought it looked like a heart balloon floating carelessly away in the breeze. I know this is stupid but noticing things like that makes me happy. Noticing hearts when I was in a sort of funky/depressed mood must be a good sign!

25 of 365! Parked on an empty side of the lot at Target today. My twin thought it would be cute to park next to me.

24 of 365! I said I wouldn't post a picture of food but it seems to be an unintentional theme. What can I say, I LOVE FOOD! :D Found this guy left by a windowsill. It called my name for a photo op! Reached down from my chair and snapped this. Meant to take more after my lunch date but never got the chance. "That'll do pig. That'll do."

Afternoon meeting with Miss Tupperware USA! Haha, that is what I decided to call the Rep that orchestrated my Tupperware party. It is funny that as I spoke to her I was thinking of all the photo ops I was missing...I'm a horrible person.

Found this while emptying out picture files. Haha! This will give you something to laugh about until I get today's picture posted some time tonight. Hopefully. Venturing out!

23 of 365! I should make a promise right now to not have food involved in my photo tomorrow! ;D As you may have guessed this was taken at a Super Bowl festivity. I couldn't give a crap less about football but I do very much enjoy spending time in my 'fat pants', eating and spending time with funny/nice people. :)

22 of 365! This pic was actually taken last night but wanted to share it. It was our first time at this restaurant and the owner was the sushi chef. Good prices too! There were so many photo ops I could think of but it was dark in there and I didn't want to embarrass my boyfriend with the multiple camera flashes! I give him credit for attempting to eat with chopsticks but he still needs practice. Guess that means more sushi! ;)

Food, food, food! To follow the rules I took a picture today as well. I forgot to say no sprouts and it kind of ruined the taste of my sandwich but I ate it anyway of course!

21 of 365! My first experience with making hummus = major failure!

I bought a bag of dried chickpeas so I let them soak overnight with the intention of boiling them today.

This is tedious. After sorting and washing till the water was clear, then soaking them overnight then rinsing them again and then having to slow simmer them for almost an hour. I suggest buying them in a can.

After soaking overnight the chickpeas double in size and I boiled them until I could easily mash one between my fingers.

Here are some of the ingredients I will be adding to the mixture; peanut butter, lime juice, one clove of garlic, olive oil and water.

I quickly realized that a normal blender is not capable of blending such a thick mixture. I even got desperate and used the hand mixer. At best, I could put a small amount of chickpeas in the blender with water but then it was still clumping around the blade.

I tried a sample, tried adding more peanut butter and it still tasted bad. Gritty and bad. Not to mention giant clumps from all the unblended chickpeas. If you don't have a food processor I don't suggest making this.

Now to wash all the tools I had dirtied in the kitchen!

Conclusion: Chick peas don't smell good, they don't taste good and they don't taste good masked in peanut butter either.

But I didn't walk away completely empty handed. I still had pita bread and peanut butter! I'll let Jif do the work from now on. ;)

20 of 365! Set up some old speakers to my computer since mine are packed away. It's so nice to be able to listen to music and watch shows on my computer again! I have been listening to Pandora and here are some of the random songs I have discovered:

19 of 365! This morning at 10 AM I set out to uncover the driveway. This picture doesn't do it justice because when I got in there to shovel it down it was up to my chest. The wind fought us the whole way but between my Mom and I shoveling and my Dad using the snow blower it took 2 hours and ten minutes to finish. I did jump in a few times! Had to have some fun!

18 of 365! Yes, I realize I am far behind on here! This is the snow drifts on my sidewalk at 11:08 PM approximately. I can't say for sure how much but I'd say that's a good 3 feet! Wish the photo quality was better but you get the idea!

I'll stay inside and watch more Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood! :D
