Random Thoughts April 2011

** I’m on Facebook!!  Please click the “Like” button and make my day.  I’ll also make sure new posts are put up there.  I can’t link to it properly here on my blog because I have Application Platforms off. 

**Working with bread yeast is cool.  I made hot cross buns and pizza dough bread on Good Friday and my favourite part was “waking up” the dried yeast with the hot sugar water and watching it “blurp.” Yeah, sometimes I’m just a big kid.

The hot cross buns we made on Good Friday.

**One letter arrived in the post this morning!! Yay!! And I’ve emailed to find out where the other one went.

**Journal proofs were delivered to my house this morning. The awesomeness makes me smile. (Final sign off before printing!!)

**Things that the publisher was trying to explain to me make much more sense to me now, while I look at the proofs.  It’s that light-bulb moment. “OH! NOW I get it!!”  I did mention that I’m a visual learner, right?

**My children are no longer wooly-headed and this pleases me. My turn at the hairdressers next week!

**The Penguins of Madagascar TV show is amusing and I like watching it.

**I have an Open Home on Sunday and I have done NOTHING for it yet. Yikes!

**I am SO ready for Term 1 School break to be over.  Bring on Monday so I can send the children back to school!!

**I almost got trapped in a suburb 20kms from here because it’s rained so much in the last few days that a river was creeping over a bridge. Thankfully we left before it fully engulfed the bridge.

**I can see sunshine and it makes my soul happy. I moved here to get away from the constant Pacific Northwest rain in the Vancouver Rainforest. So when it’s cloudy here for more than a couple of days, my soul feels a bit “squashed”.
