Bread Disasters, Laundry, and What If

Sorry friends, I was supposed to post this yesterday and then share our Father’s Day dinner with you today, but I’ve been so incredibly busy this weekend (and yesterday) that I didn’t have the time! Friday I did a fifty minute work out, which I don’t think I’ve never ever done in my life. At most I run 3 miles, which is about 23 minutes for me, and I don’t do that very often at all. I was beat! Then we had a busy weekend and yesterday we went for a two and a half hour hike in the woods! (Ahem, but the light was absolutely incredible so hopefully I have a fun photo set or two to share with you all later this week.) Right now I think I’ll go take a nap so my body can catch up with me.

These are from February again, right as I came down with bronchitis!

“Reminder”

Well, I’m really not sure how this applies to the prompt but remember that gift card I mentioned for National Sweater Day? No kidding, we won!

“Bitter”

I’ve been pretty bitter since my last attempt at making a bread loaf in our new bread maker failed that I haven’t really made time to try again. (Definitely user error, I promise. It’s cutting milk and white sugar from the loaf that’s killing me!) But I thought for sure I had it this time. Except I forgot to add the water. So being the nutter that I am, after it kneads the whole thing and cooks for about an hour and a half, I add the water.

I’m such a klutz in the kitchen, it’s really no surprise. I’m not giving up, though! Plus, this looks way better than last time. And it tastes pretty good too. It’s just a little doughy, obviously.

“What if?”

I think about this a lot sometimes. What if I decided I was too scared to move to Canada? Where would I be? What if I didn’t take that leap? Then sometimes I cry because I am so thankful that I did. I won’t bog you with sap, but this is very true. I don’t do it as much as I used to in the first two years that I was here, but I still do it on occasion. Boy am I ever glad I did.

“Drive”

Hey, wanna go for a drive?

“Fold”

My least favorite chore is folding laundry. I’ll take dishes, vacuuming, mopping, loading the laundry, whatever else have you. Folding is so boring!

“Game”

At this point I was pretty sick with bronchitis (although I didn’t know it yet) and I didn’t even check the computer to see what the prompts were, so I had to rely on memory. And some days I didn’t even leave the bed or the couch but I still managed to snap at least one photo every day. I know this kind of defeats the purpose of having prompts, but I didn’t want to fail the project just because I was sick.

“Red”

Mah hairs.

“Planted”

Stuck in bed. Boo.
