As foreseen by my previous post, I had a wonderful Friday! we woke up to make a ridiculously american breakfast, I had my first Eggo, which I chose to eat with peanut butter and bananas, it was actually really good at 11 am! we also had cap'n crunch cereal with milk and some soft poached eggs.
In the middle of breakfast my lovely roommate Kara just got up, went to her room and came back with a basket full of candy and toys and a easter card for me! the night before my friends Suzanne and Tony had bought all this stuff for me to celebrate my first easter! it was really amazing, more than anything I just couldn't believe that they would go through the trouble of making that day special for me, and I will never forget it.
So after finishing breakfast Suzanne decided she would be the one hiding our easter eggs. Kara, Tony and I went out on the porch until she was done, then the hunting started! we spent a long time looking, she had hid the eggs really well! Kara kinda gave up first, probably cause she had enough candy already, but Tony and I couldn't resist the idea of not finding all the eggs so we kept looking. at the end of the day he and I had the same amount of eggs but I had found the golden one! with a dollar inside! so I win :)
After finding all the eggs we proceeded to dying eggs that we had boiled during breakfast. we got the colors ready, spread out the stickers and EggArrounds and started panting! we had 2 eggs each, and way too much dye for them! Tony decided to mix pretty much every color we had, so his eggs came out brown, but they had these really cool spots which we thought came from too much pressure when he held them. anyway, we experimented with the EggArrounds, and Suzanne made this amazing lime green color and dyed an entire egg with it.
So after we were done dying the eggs we sat at the table. waiting for them to dry. and then someone had the brilliant idea of making egg salad with them! I know it sounds disgusting, but we couldn't see anything wrong with it, guess thats just something you don't really consider the consequences of; not when everyone feels 5 years old! anyway, our egg salad sandwiches were sooooo good! we cut up some pickles to put in them, some sharp cheddar cheese, lettuce and siracha. We then proceeded to do what we do best, sit on my couch watching movies and eventually eating a TONE of candy!
There you go, that was my day, in a word: EPIC. I wish we all had more days like that one!
As stated by the name of this blog tonight has LOTS of potential! Due to the lack of scholarly activity tomorrow, we (some friends and I) decided to go to dinner at St. Andrew's cafe, one of the restaurants in my school. While we ate our duck confit pizza, quinoa and chilli crepes, grilled lamb, and sauteed duck we realised that an egg hunting would be so much more fun after a night of light (heavy) drinking. If by now you don't see how tonight has potential there's something wrong with you. Anyway, so I'm about to go hide some chocolate eggs around our house and then get going with the margaritas and ginger-apple vodka. Odds are you will have pictures tomorrow, but I can't promise anything. Hope you all have as fun a weekend as mine is about to be!
I have been fortunate enough to know from a relatively early age what I wanted to do with my life. I understand that this is a great gift I've been given, but the greatest gift of all was to have family and friends all around me who support my decision and care about me enough to be interested in my life. This is my attempt to make their life easier. I'm not sure if that just sounded extremely self centered of me, I've just come to the conclusion that a blog would be the best way to let my loved ones know what's going on.
This blog is meant to be a little peak into my life, I want to show you a different point of view, the way I see the world, how I look at places, what I find beautiful or interesting. I want to share ideas, flavors, images of things that you may have looked at before, but not really seen.
Hopefully this blog will make you look at your surroundings differently, maybe I can show you something you hadn't thought of or seen in the same way. But maybe that's too much for me to attempt to do, so at the very least I hope this will help you understand how I live my life, and what fills me with passion and joy, what makes me want to get up every morning.
I'm not sure how well I will keep up with this little project, or even if I'll have enough things to say to keep you interested, but I truly love my life, and I just want to show you why.
PS: if you don't know me it's ok for you to read too. :)
