I cooked pork sinigang (a Filipino hot and sour soup/stew) for dinner tonight!
This is my comfort food!

I didn't knit the gloves, but I did crochet the embellishments.
Cute, huh?!

So since the New Year, in an attempt to avoid laziness, I've been exercising regularly (at least 3 to 4 times a week which is more than I've ever done, really, especially during the winter). I wouldn't really call the exercising a New Year's resolution, but it sure has me feeling incredible! Not only do I feel great physically, but the time I've dedicated to exercising has been very meditative for me. I read the first couple of pages of Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, and I agree with a lot of his sentiments... "No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act." I guess that's why dish-washing and laundry-folding are also meditative acts for me ;)

I caved and treated myself to a bunch of different books!
I'm so excited to start reading them!!!

I'm so happy to still have my polaroid camera!
Can anyone tell me where I can buy film?

SIDE-NOTE: I'm on a hunt for sparklers... anyone want to make a road-trip to NC??? We'll take back roads ;)

Snickers and I had to go back to the vet so she could get a booster shot. She may look happy here, but she was actually a nervous wreck... my poor baby!

After a long drive home, it was nice to spend the evening playing with Maxine, April's little niece. She's such a girly-girl, I love it! She should meet my nephew Ariston ;)
