May! It’s May! Umm where did January, February, and March go? Eww next month, I turn the big 3-0! Where did the last 10 years go??
Now that I’m done complaining about time and being old, on to photo a day.
Photo A Day- April:
April 1st- The couch itself is not soft enough for London. He has to lay on pillows and blankets, while on the couch, to be comfortable. Spoiled.
April 2nd- Huck’s family had fried shrimp for dinner and sent him a picture, so we had to have fried shrimp too!
April 3rd- We celebrated Deena’s birthday with bowling and arcade games.
April 4th- I read on my phone in the morning before getting up to start the day. Some morning I’ll fall back to sleep still holding my phone. One of the major perks of working from home.
April 5th- We celebrated Easter with our traditional party at the beach. I spent the day in the shade hanging out in the hammock.
April 6th- I bought new shoes! I bought my old ones like 8 years, so it was definitely time for an upgrade.
April 8th- After 2 hours of assembly, I now have a new, grownup, desk!
April 9th- Contractor Thursday at Twisted Trunk. Do not plan to be productive after drinking 12% beers!
April 10th- I made wire wrapped jewelry.
April 11th- I rowed a lot this month, and this was my view every morning on my way to the row club.
April 13th- I remembered why I like office days more! See all that red?!?
April 14th- Another morning spent rowing.
April 15th- I bought a years worth of meat. It was on sale!
April 16th- We had some aging apples that needed to be used, so I made a pork tenderloin stuffed with apple cranberry stuffing. It was served with an honey ginger balsamic vinegar glaze. Honestly, I have no idea how I made this. I just keep adding stuff and changing things. I think I’ll test this one a few more times and share it on the blog. It was GOOD!!
April 17th- We attending the Yelp Spring Break in Pompano Beach with 26° Degrees. Fun and hot day!
April 19th- I went shopping for chairs for our new dining room table and a blue dress of the Els for Autism event.
April 21st- I tested an Alfredo Sauce made with beer for lunch… too much beer but still really good! We also had breaded baked pork chops and roasted Brussels Sprouts.
April 22nd- Huck made some KICK ASS calzones! Recipe coming soon.
April 23rd- We volunteered at the Els for Autism event.
April 24th- Sat in more Miami traffic!
And then came home and shared a bottle of wine to de-stress from sitting in 2 hours of Miami traffic. I bought this bottle while in Georgia last year. So good!
April 25th- We did a little meal planning this week and decided to go a whole week making new recipes and not eat the same thing over and over like we usually do. For the first night, Huck made an amazing spiced coffee rubbed steak! The rub created a crispy texture of the outside of the steak! The man can cook a steak!!
Oh and I rowed again.
April 26th- I made curtains for the dining room. This is the only decorated room in our entire house.
April 27th- I made roasted chicken legs seasoned with Huck’s spiced coffee rub, roasted mushroom risotto, and salad with a homemade vinaigrette dressing. Not exactly a new meal but different than the usual. And we had more wine!
April 28th- We had mushroom and pablano pepper tacos with leftover rice and beans. Another delicious meatless meal.
April 29th- The battle over the fan and the temperature in our office continued with some very heated discussions! Someone may have threatened to throw the fan at someone else if they turned it on again…
April 30th- London was placed in charge of guarding the beer. {This picture makes me laugh every time I see it}
I’m kind of sad to say I only managed to post 2 recipes this month. At least they were both pretty epic!
My other accomplishment for the month was finishing the recaps for our San Diego trip!
My goals for May include 2-3 post a week, no excuses, spending time learning more about Photoshop, SEO, etc., and cleaning up some of the other pages on the blog. I’ll check in with you June 1st to let you know how it goes.
