Long overdue post

It's been awhile since I updated, but that's mostly just because my computer is still broken and I feel bad spending too much time on Dayne's computer since it's in the bedroom, and the cats aren't allowed in there. So if I'm in here too long, they meow and scratch at the door.

In any case, there were a couple new recipes that I tried awhile ago, but neither of them were very noteworthy. One of them was honey-rosemary chicken (which was... okay, I don't know if I'll try it again, though). The other was a crispy onion chicken, which I liked because it's made with French Fried onions - however, next time I try it, I will need to make just enough for one meal, because it doesn't stay crispy very well.

Other than that, I've made the Honey-Baked chicken a few more times, since Dayne really likes it. I've also done hogies again and the Sweet and Sour Pork chops again. I will need to start trying more new ones again, but right now I'm sticking to ones I've done before because then we still have most of the ingredients and it's cheaper for grocery shopping.

Nothing really exciting happened in March that I can remember (I am just now realizing that I haven't posted in over a month), but the first week of April my friend Celina flew in for a few days over Easter. And I picked her up from the airport ALL BY MYSELF! It was my first time driving on the highway/freeway/whateverway and it was all by myself because Dayne had work. Thank goodness for TomTom or else I would have been so lost.

Anyway, on Friday we took her to the Inner Harbor and went to the Baltimore Aquarium - which was fun for me, too, because I had never been there either. And then we walked to the Basilica that she wanted to see, since it was in the area. That night we went to Medieval Times for dinner, which was SO MUCH FUN! Our knight didn't win, though, which was sad. Saturday we went to DC to show her the monuments and check out the Cherry Blossom Festival. Sunday was Easter, which we went to Dayne's parents house for, and then Monday she had to fly back.

These last two weeks I was baaaaaad with my points, too. I knew I was going to be while she was out here, but it was then hard for me to get back into the swing of things. This week, I seem to be back on track, so hopefully I can get rid of the few pounds I gained over the past two weeks.

I might be starting a nannying job soon - I go to meet the family on Saturday, though I'm still not sure at what time. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, since it won't just be childcare... they also want me to help keep their home tidy. It's not a problem, but I just worry that they are expecting more from me than I can do and I don't want to disappoint. Oh well, no sense in worrying about it right now!

Now maybe if I keep this blog up to date, my posts won't be so long.
