Where's my camera?

So, this weekend I prepared a pretty delicious dish...and I don't have to say so myself. I realized after the food was devoured I didn't photograph the beautifulness of it all. After going over many "ideas" over what to cook I decided on the following: Mixed green salad, tilapia, asparagus, and sweet potatoes. We all know that the asparagus, and sweet potatoes were baked and the tilapia was pan seared and THEN baked. :)
I'm going to have to say that Friday was probably the most fun I've had in a semi-long time.

In other news due to the crappy conditions of the roads I missed seeing my Mommy on her birthday. It's funny how things can change so much over time. We were never super duper close, and over the past few years and months we've become so close and I couldn't get home for her birthday. :( It's funny how something like that can cause that snowball effect. Now, I find myself a little homesick. 
 

Apartment life

So, I've now been in my "new" apartment for probably a good 30 hours. Spent my FIRST night here, and it was good. Now, some things have gone a bit wrong, but that's just going to happen. Firstly, I woke up at 5:50 am - dislike. However, I think that was due to the fact that my electric blanket DIED and I was FREEZING!! Small potatoes, but I still have to give that a dislike. No big deal right? Well... I sort of have no bedroom furniture so I'm sleeping on my oh so comfortable air mattress. I'm not kidding it is super comfortable, however you'll freeze to death on it. It's just temporary until I find what I want. :)  Oh and the master of ALL dislikes: no coffee maker. I mean, we only have 3 "at home." Did I think to bring one? Nope. So, I'm coming off cold turkey and that means WATCH OUT. Anyway, I cooked a yummy dinner. Spaghetti with whole grain noodles. They are okay, but I won't use them again. I may just have to stick to the white noodles from here on out.

The delicious sauce (yes, that is ground turkey).

this is the final product. Sorry for the bad presentation. It was delicious. Ha ha.

Oh and I'm rather proud of myself.... I went to ALL my classes today, got there on time, AND I paid attention the entire time. Big deal for me provided I had no coffee. 

I have two awesome roomies and I think it's going to be wonderful. I'm excited.

Goodbye 2010

Well, 2010 was great and all, but I have a feeling 2011 is going to be much better. 
I've done my "reflecting" on the year and all it held, and I'm thankful for many things. First off, I'm SO GLAD that my parents and I established a much stronger relationship. Secondly, I'm super happy that the VanillaCaramelWhiteChocolate became as close as we have. I honestly have some of the most amazing friends in this world (I may be a little biased though). It's sad that some friendships faded away, but it is what it is. 
Everyone makes Resolutions for the New Year and about a week or so into said new year they've already broken them. So, I'll make my resolution later in the year. Pretty sound idea, huh?

Anyway, one of the last nights of '10 was spent with some AMAZING people. I LOVE them. That's us there. Me, Christina, Jennifer and Priya. :) 
I hope EVERYONE had a fun and SAFE New Year's Celebration. The dog and I stayed home and I cooked some delicious homemade beef stew. Perfect for me!
Happy 2011.
