Day 28 - Egg-cited

Today I had a craving for a Sunday scrambled egg, but did not want to take the 5-10 minutes it takes to cook it the old fashioned way, so I looked up microwave scrambled egg recipes.  It looks pretty odd, especially when it is dumped out (it keeps its shape), but it actually tastes really good.  I am going to work on perfecting it, but I think I have found how to cook eggs from now on!  Message me in the comments if you want a link to the recipe (or for me to post my customizations).

Till tomorrow!

Day 27 - Progression Time

Today was the first time where Katie had to work, and I only had homework.  It was an odd feeling, though I enjoyed having the opportunity to get a head on my homework.  I did not make quite as much progress as I wanted, but I still made some!  I enjoy making progress like this, especially since it means that when Katie gets home I can actually spend some time with here.  Here is to being on top of things!

Till tomorrow!

Day 26 - Wilting

I bought these flowers towards the start of the month for Katie - they were purple striped tulips when we got them (I must admit buying them as a Day Zero list item too...).  Now they are several days older, and finally on their last legs.  However, I thought that the curled and wilting forms of the petals was really pretty and wanted to try to capture the moment wit a picture...it wasn't perfect, but I think that I am improving at my moment capturing prowess!

Till tomorrow!

Day 25 - Drip, drip goes the Clock

Thursday rolls around and the snow that we have been (finally) receiving has started to melt, and we are getting some sweet icicles.  I was walking home from classes, and I passed this and had to stop and photograph it while it was still there.  I was worried that someone would kick them or they would melt off, so I stopped to capture the moment.  I just thought that the appearance was so beautiful and it was just a great moment because I felt pretty good about the week being almost over and everything.

Till tomorrow!

Day 24 - Return to the Street

Today was Katie's first day of work.  She is working a clinic type job, that she seems to be excited about.  Most of all, however, she is taking some pressure off of me, which I appreciate more than I can express, since now I can focus on my homework, and do not have to worry about money as much, which I am super happy about (and very, very appreciative about).

As a thank you to Katie, I made these Disney cookies for Katie - they were one of her Valentines day presents from yesterday, but I felt that they might be better appreciated after a long day's work (I do not seem to be wrong about my assumption either, so hurray for saving you and me from the proverbial donkey)!

Till tomorrow!

Day 23 - Love is in the Air

Tuesday, and Valentines Day!  Such a good day.  I got Katie a card, and a chocolate covered strawberry (and some cookies that we didn't make).  She got me a list of reasons she loves me...it was so amazing and sweet and just made my day better!  We went to the store to get some things and noticed that they had some small boxes of chocolates.  I learned that Katie likes being surprised by the chocolates (since they are not labeled), so we decided to get some for each other...I think it is the first time I have received Valentine's day chocolates in a long time, made me happy!

Till tomorrow!

Day 22 - Snow Way!

So Monday, I manage to actually post a post in time!  This is mostly because this picture came to me so early in the day (like 5pm, haha).  I thought it was really pretty with the sky and the snow everywhere.  This is why I am going to miss Laramie when I leave.  Because it looks like this a few times every winter.  I will not miss the extremely icy paths (which you can't tell by looking they are icy, but I assure you they are), the wind that provides chill factors of up to 40F, or the fact that winter lasts from late September until late April.  But the moments like this more or less make up for them - I thought it looked like the ceramic villages people have at Christmas time (and yes, I totally want one).   Ah well, I am sure I will be bitter at the weather again by mid-day tomorrow, so I might as well enjoy it now while I can!

Till tomorrow!
