I've been cooking dinner!
So far I've cooked dinner twice this week. Today my whole meal was made from scratch; I made a Cherry Tomato Onion Tart because we had so many cherry tomatoes from our CSA box and udon noodles in a peanut sauce. Yes, I'm well aware that these two items don't go together, but they were both tasty and aside from the actual noodles I made everything! The only thing that went wrong was that I read the oven temp direction wrong, it was 200 but it was Celsisus and I forgot to convert it, oh well, it took a little longer and the tomatoes weren't quite as wrinkly as I was going for but the crust was cooked which is what I was mainly concerned with.

Hedo, Hedo
Hedo, hedo is one of Jason's favorite sayings. Basically instead of using the l's in hello he puts in a d, it's funny and now I say it too.
Not feeling well today. Went to church, we had a potluck, I brought chips and had one of the older girls go to Little Ceasar's and get a pizza. She was already going so I thought she could pick up an extra one. I like potlucks, sometimes the food can be weird, but this time it was really basic. Pizza, cookies, deviled eggs (did you know the last hymn in our hymnal is #666?), cold cuts, cheese and crackers, you get the idea.
I always find it interesting what other people bring. I wasn't sure where the potluck was going to be so I didn't want to bring something that had to be kept cold or hot. I think one of the weirder things about today's potluck was that someone brought 4 strawberries, 4 chicken strips and like 6 potato wedges, that just struck me as strange.
What I don't like is when people want you to sign up to bring something. It's like, I'll bring what I'll bring, I don't want to be tied down for something as informal as a potluck. When I say this my mom always tells this story about how she once went to a lunch potluck with like 20 other women and they all brought potato salad. The moral of that story is that you need a list, but it's also interesting to note that all the potato salads were different. Personally if I was there I'd have brought something different, I don't like potato salad.

Hobbies
Yesterday I spent most of my free time looking at art conventions. Today I'm thinking a lot about hobbies. There are tons of hobbies out there! A few of my hobbies are Where's George? http://www.wheresgeorge.com/, Scrapbooking http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/ (my favorite site), Traveling (igougo.com) and Graving http://www.findagrave.com/ (my favorite site).
Other interesting hobbies (with some associated websites) Reading http://www.bookcrossing.com/, Puzzles http://www.jigzone.com/, Business Card collecting, Stamped/Squished design pennies, Coin/Bill Collecting, Board Games, Candlemaking, playing musical instruments (wouldn't it be super cool to have a music room with different instruments and record/CD players with all sorts of different music in it!), Cooking (I love to make themed ethnic cusine when watching The Amazing Race), I could go on and on.
