Perfecting the pizza...

I guess I have been in the mood for pizza--this was much better than the last since I had time to make my special sauce--yummy--with genoa salami, pancetta, fresh mozerella, and zucchini.

And the best chocolate mousse ever--see see.

Baking, cats, and more baking...

This is "grey kitty", if anyone can think of a better name for
this cat let meknow.I just can't seem to think of a name that 
fits her personality. 
At first it was "Gaby", 
then "Aloof Kitty", "GiGi", "ScardyKat", 
and the list goes on and on. 




I purchased a new pizza stone and have been getting a lot of use out of it so far.
I baked bread and also made pizza with fresh mozzerella and pancetta over the weekend. 

friday friday...

I have press checks all day today for the magazine I have been working on this last month. It will be nice to finally see the finished product!!!

Next week i am going to Arkansas with Tim--We are going to leave Thursday after i get off work and drive until the wee hours. I can't wait to see family.

My sister broke her arm snowboarding last Sunday--most of you know that I had the same accident almost 7 years ago. My mom flew out there 2 days after she had the accident and is helping with all the kiddos. I can't imagine breaking my arm and having to take care of 3 kids. Geez. She is going to be having surgery on her arm next Monday. I haven't been snowboarding since and I don't think that i will ever go back. I would ski anyday but I could never get the hang of snowboarding--I just thought it looked cool really.

I need to get out of Houston--it is just so freakin overwhelming sometimes. I have come to a conclusion that I like small towns. I don't like driving everywhere i need to go..I don't like multiple lane highways--Pretty soon Houston will have the widest interstate in the country. 15 lanes to be exact--give me dirt roads and two lane highways please. Noise--I can't sleep with noise--the slightest noise wakes me up. There is always construction and traffic outside of my apartment. I want to be outside since the weather is so nice but I have to drive to get anywhere outside--I think I want life to be simple and slow. My grandparents live in this dinky town population 99--they have a house on a hill overlooking the mountains. I miss visiting them in the country. Anyway enough about my homesickness.

Busy wknd..

I had a busy weekend with Micah and Hernan here. I picked them up at the airport on Friday night and we spent the whole weekend visiting family and friends. It was good for me since I have been missing family and feel so isolated being in Houston. My nephew Hernancito is talking more and more. He is such a cutie. I can't wait to move back to Arkansas and be around him more. Micah and Hernan will probably be moving back to Bolivia in two years and I want to spend more time with them. They are going to hopefully have another baby before they move back also. That is defiantly an incentive to move back to good ole'Arkansas.

Wow what a week--The magazine I have been working on for the past two weeks was passed on to the proofer. It feels incredibly nice to have that out of my hands for a few days--

I am picking up Micah, Hernan and Hernan-cito at the airport tonight. I can't wait to see them. I miss my family so much--I wish we all lived closer. 

Tim is flying to NYC at 6 tonight--he will be there until next Thursday. I am missing him already. He is going to visit a few of his friends and also visit a film school and a seminary. Tim wants to direct films someday so he is looking at a school in NYC. He also would like to teach philosophy or theology at college level. He needs direction right now and courage to take risks. Hopefully his experiences at both schools will give him a better understanding of what he should pursue. 

1 more day..

Only one more day until I see this guy!! 

I have to go to the dentist today because my tooth has been really bothering me. I talked to the dentist on the phone and they said I might need a ROOT CANAL after looking at a x-ray!! Do you really start to fall apart after you turn 25? Seriously I hope I don't have to get a root canal--I barely endured the cavity process.

2 more days

Only two more days until i pick up my sister, her husband, and my nephew at the airport..It is perfect timing because Tim is flying to NYC the same day to visit friends and a few schools in the area. 

I am running on very little sleep because of my tooth--I had a cavity filled about 2 weeks ago and my tooth is really sensitive. I woke up at 3am in a lot of pain--it feels like the right side of my face is going to fall off. I think i found a dumb ass dentist in Houston--figures. I haven't had the best of luck since i moved here--I have had one car wreck, one car stolen, and 2 cavities within 7 months. damn

Anyway back to work--I am almost through with Mi-Swaco!!!
