Roadblocks

Yea so I have not been wanting to cook. I am not sure why we go through these lulls with things. I am sure Tito can't wait for me to be over it though. We bought a grill and I was so excited, but I have only used it twice. The weather has turned cooler, yay that it is plus. Fall is my favorite time of the year, yet I am not feeling very full of joy these days. Funny how that happens. Anyway enough of my depression. I am reading a great book right now, Waking the Dead by John Eldredge. Very good read, of course I haven't read one of his books yet that was difficult.

On to cooking. So I cooked steak and some grilled veggies and sweet potato fries over the weekend. Oh they were so yummy. I love grilled veggies. I also made homemade banana walnut bread for our growth group on Sunday. It was very good, Tito was bummed I didn't make a cake he could it.

I have been getting out with my friends more the last couple of weeks. My friend Kristal and I had lunch at Southern Grounds, its off of Cowan Rd in Gulfport, and I was very pleased with my Tomato, Bacon and Cheddar Panini. I also had a brown sugar and cinnamon scone that was wonderful. The atmosphere at this little coffee house that serves lunch is very friendly and inviting. I was surprised to see all the people showing up there for lunch. The only down side to it is they are only open till 2.

I have been taking Brooklyn the little one I babysit to a Mommy Mixer group from our church on Tuesdays. I know she is a bit young but I enjoy us being able to get out of the apartment once a week. I can't wait for her to get a little bit older so she can start engaging in some of the things we are doing.

I had dinner at Los Tres in Gulfport for our Ladies Night Out (LNO) time. (Something the church does). It was pretty good. I had the Monetary Chicken with rice. It was very good. I ate way more of it then I should have, however it still bothered my stomach so I am guessing they use corn oil to cook the veggies and chicken in. So I can't say that I will frequent there.

I have been crocheting up a storm. Tito asked me last night if I really enjoyed doing it or if it was just a filler for my time. I said, I like it. I enjoy seeing how cute things come out when I am finished. Who would have ever thought that knotting yarn (that's basically what it appears like you are doing) could make such adorable things. I am happy to say I am getting better at it. I will post some pics of my finished projects at the end of this post.

Anyhow so that's my happenings for the last week or so. I am hoping to get back to my bread making and baking very soon. Oh yea, I have also been doing Brazil Butt Lift workout!! OMG...my fanny has been killing me. Can't wait to see if I lose inches at the end of the 4 weeks.
