My sweet friend, Christy came over for sushi lunch today. I had asked if she had an extra bundt cake pan and she didn't. So, she bought me one! What a sweetie!

Getting her hair did.

This little angel is my world. (She fell and hit her head on the coffee table while walking.)

Girls' Day

Homemade Brownies
I made homemade brownies yesterday. We rushed to eat them while still hot as Little Miss's bedtime was creeping up fast, but they are MUCH better after they have cooled. That's when they get their chewy on. You can find the recipe here.

Had a really fun day with my girls while hubby was at a friend's gaming yesterday... I saved Teen Miss's life by killing a bug in her room and became her hero, we had homemade sushi for lunch and after dinner I made the homemade brownies and we watched Revenge of the Bridesmaids. Little Miss was a part of all of it too. She helped me look for the bug and then acted as a tool of calming and comfort for Teen Miss by way of cuddling after the bug killing, she did not have sushi for lunch, but she did "watch" the movie with us (by playing with her toys while we watched) and had a few crumbs of brownie and had a few sips from her sissy's milk glass.

Teen Miss is back to public school today after 8 months of internet home school. She's so excited and says the time us three girls spent together yesterday was the best way to spend her last day before going back to public school.

Better Than A Tuna Sandwich

First Homemade Sushi
Today, I made myself sushi for lunch. This was my first attempt at sushi and it turned out pretty good. I had a sushi kit that Hubby and Teen Miss gave me as a gift that has just been sitting around. So, I already had nori, sushi rice and sushi vinegar. Now, this is low cost sushi. I used canned tuna, mayo, avacado and tomato. It was quite good though. This could definitely tame a sushi craving when I have one.

Reclaiming Yarn

Knit Dishcloths
These dishcloths are made with yarn that I reclaimed from some crochet sponges I did. I learned that while I might prefer sponges, sponges made of yarn are not so great. So, I ripped them out and did dishcloths instead. Ahhh, much better!
