Computer, Netflix, and Cooking

My new favorite thing is spending my evenings after I get home from yoga, which is what I do pretty much every night after work now, cooking dinner.

I actually setup my laptop too and my iPad so I can watch Netflix and type on my laptop while I cook dinner!

It's awesome.

I make myself a nice home cooked meal, and then watch Netflix.  I also work on things on my laptop.  Like write this blog, or remotely sort emails at work.

Honestly?  I kind of want to completely redo my kitchen at some point.  My next thing though is that I need a new phone, and I have to repoint the brick work in the front of the house.

I did buy some new work pants the other night and I wore them today.  Snazzy.  They're comfy!  And they look cool too.

Tomorrow is Friday!  Woo.  I'm soo ready for the weekend.  It's been a busy week.  My boss is back at least.  He drinks weird smoothies every morning since he's got this thing happening now where he has to change his diet and consume lots of fruits and veggies.

I told him to buy a juicer and try adding juicing in addition to the blending.  Additionally I told him to read this one book called "Food Rules".  It's everything anyone needs to know about eating right.

I made a big salad tonight and as well a turkey burger and then a small soup to go with it.  Since my boss is being forced to eat all healthy by his doc... I've decided to add more healthy things to my dinners and lunches and what not.  Although, I already eat fairly healthy I suppose... But I do enjoy some "comfort foods" every now and then.  Who doesn't!?!?

Anyways, so I'm going to try and maybe be more in solidarity with him.

Well, at any rate I'm enjoying just spending more time in my kitchen and making nice dinners and such.

I have a whole list of projects for around the house that I want to accomplish, and staying in and cooking my own meals saves TONS of money.  Seriously, going out and eating out is actually really expensive!  You might not realize it if you spend a little here or there on food every once in a while, but it really is expensive.  And it definitely adds up.  Plus, if you stay in and cook, generally your meals tend to be healthier as well.  SO, it's a win all around.

Well, I'm off to bed in a few, I have to figure out what I want to cook tomorrow night!  I might stop at IKEA and LOWES tomorrow after yoga.

My next small projects are that I want to re-do the house numbers on the front of the house, and I'm looking for a very specific piece of furniture.  Like, it's a wooden coffee table esk type of thing, but not really, and it has cloth or fabric covered bins that slide in one side.  I can't really describe it but I'd know if I saw it.  You can store things in the cloth fabric bins that slide into it... Those are cubes, there's like 8 of them or so.... But the thing is about the size and shape of a coffee table.  I know it exists and I'm not making things up.  I'm kind of just looking for something like that.  Doesn't have to be THAT exact thing, but something that I can put stuff on top of it and use it in one of my rooms to organize, and then I can use the bins that slide into it for storage.

So I figure I'll just browse IKEA and see what they have.  My other small project is to go to Target at some point again and pick up picture frames to frame memory things of my mom.  And then put those up around the house.  There were these two poster things made by my sister for her funeral that we put in the one room here as a little memory area.  So, I'll probably put those in frames and then hang them in one of the rooms.

I'm not sure yet.  I have lots of ideas though of things I want to do around the house.  SO, we'll see.  I'd like to do some decorating, renovating, and buy some new furniture and such in the near future.  That's the grand plan anyway.
