2017 is here... New Years was a surprise Alice in Wonderland party at the Desmond. ((( THANK YOU JOSH))) We have been all around busy with home school, pups, dinner preps, and small updates to the house. I started DMing a small D&D campaign for Noah and his friends. Thanks to Drunkens and Dragons video series on Youtube, and dand.wizzards.com it seems feasible that I can manage this. Highlights would be taking the dogs hiking, having Noah check out the Youth Build program here in Albany, Noah DRIVING!...down time, antiquing with Noah, reading, DMing, and snugly morning with Josh and the pups. I have been doing a few nights at the women's over flow shelter, knitting socks (attempt 2), I did my hair in dreads, got a new comforter, have been seeking to fully grasp the luxuriousness that comes with high thread count sheets. Josh had his folk band over tonight so I made stuffed pasta with farmers cheese, local ricotta from the co-op, kale and mushrooms...grass fed beef ground and added to organic tomato sauce that I got at Aldi! So I am all about the organic stuff at Aldis lately as it just makes budgeting that much more reasonable while still trying to eat mostly organic. The tomato sauce has no sugar in it and all organic ingredients... at half the price! I am excited about there fair trade, organic whole bean coffee as well...
