Ginger Cookies

Guess what?  I got a camcorder for a graduation present!  Graduation, you say?  Well I took the GED and passed nicely.  (99th percentile on reading, mwahahaha!)  

So, with the camcorder I decided to make a movie.  Amazing how 5 minutes of movie takes 5 hours to make.  I suppose it'll be faster next time, though, since I know how to do things a bit better.  

Since it's my first movie it's not amazing.  But I like it.  

Oh and I promise I'll put the recipe up here too, only it'll be about a week because right now it's midnight and we're flying to D.C. in about 6 1/2 hours and I figure I might want to get some sleep.

So, enjoy the movie and hopefully I'll have some more when I come back!

Cupcakes! (Oh, and yes, I'm still alive...)

I felt like making food today, I think, because for lunch I made soba noodles with garlic, parmesan, and edamame (it was yummy!) and just a bit ago I finished making some cupcakes.  I decided to make mini cupcakes so I could bring them to the knitting group tonight...  By the way, they're gingerbread-spiced cupcakes with a simple powdered-sugar-and-milk icing on top.  I added the almonds because it needed something on top!  (They do actually work quite well.)

So, about me being alive.  Well, you probably know the reason I was gone most of the time - I was in Australia or New Zealand for a month.  But I haven't posted about the trip yet for the simple reason that I haven't gotten the photos yet!  They're all on my dad's computer, and they need to be sorted or something before I can get them...  (That's why I haven't got them yet.)  But, expect some posts soon because I think I just saw my mom organizing the photos earlier today.  Hurrah!

Who doesn't love a giveway, you know?

I was just browsing around and found this giveaway.  What they're giving away is a sweet luggage tag with an owl on it that's very cute.

Just wanted you to know!

(Okay, and I do get another entry into the contest for blogging about it...  Heheh.)

Food!

Sooo, I got woken up this morning about 6 and the doctor came in and told me that I could try some jello for breakfast and then later I could try something more solid if that worked out.  After I had my jello, a whole group of doctors came in and said that I could go eat whatever I wanted!  (That was kind of surprising.)  

They even gave me a pass so I could actually go out to a restaurant and eat there.  So, mom and I went out to the Old Spaghetti Factory and I got my alfredo.  The thing was, I wasn't very hungry, and I definitely wanted to take it slow, so I only had a few bites.  But I brought the rest back, and I just had about a cup of the leftovers for dinner.  

The interesting thing is, now I really just want to go home and have some of the things that I made for myself.  I think I went that whole time thinking I wanted the alfredo, but now I realize I just want some homemade food.  

And speaking of home, I probably get to go home tomorrow!  So maybe I can have some of my own food for dinner tomorrow!

Hello all!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm recovering well.  Everyone says I'm healing really fast, and tomorrow I might be able to eat something slightly more substantial than clear liquids.  (A.K.A. yogurt, which is not that great but it's closer to mac'n'cheese...)

Like my dragon?  I must admit I'm kind of proud of it, because I did the whole thing with a touch pad.  (Which is very hard!)  It's not done yet, really - I like adding lots of detail - but I wanted to show you anyway.
