My day

Sorry the for long hiatus in between posts, there really has not been anything exciting to blog about lately.

Well today is April 17th or "my" day as I call it. It is my name and my favorite number together. I hope for good things to happen on this day, but so far nothing. I didn't get called in this morning to substitute (darn it!), but I guess that might be a good thing because I can enjoy some time to myself. We will see what tonight has in store though.

I haven't really been working lately. I wish I was though, I definitely need the money. But it is towards the end of the year which means testing and last minute projects to get finished, so teachers tend to stay at school.

I still need to find something to do over the summer.


I've been working on my house aka the Endless Project! One day it will be finished and look amazing. I'm a pack rat which means that I have a lot of clutter. I've been working on all of that and actually finding a place for everything. If I can't find a place for it, it goes. We are having a yard sale for Relay for Life next Saturday, so the proceeds can go to that. I've already gotten rid of a lot of stuff, so that is good.

My grandpa was a outpatient at Cedar Sinai Hospital so we went to see him last Monday (Jonathan, Alex, and I). It was nice to spend some time with him, I just wished he didn't have to go through all the cancer treatments. But whatever makes him better!

He was home in time for Easter which was amazing! I did something I never have done before, I made a cake! Now, I know I'm 24 and should be able to cook. I am aware of this, but I am still learning how to cook and all that. I also made cupcakes! My husband was thrilled to come home to the smell of something baking and that made me happy.

My cake and cupcakes! They were yummy!

I am teaching a friend's child how to read though. We are starting out with learning the letters first and its really exciting. She is getting it really well. I'm sure she is just a super smart kid, but I like to believe that I am able to teach her.

I love teaching! <3

"I only make the frozen version"

"Wow I don't think I have ever made that"
"I only make the frozen version"

These are just a few of the reactions that I received when I proudly told everyone I know that I made....lasagna!

I have recently decided that I want to become the wives that I have seen on television and the kind of wife that society says you should be. I want to be able to want and love to cook, clean, and keep my house in a neat and organized fashion.

So, last week I bought a box of lasagna noodles and decided it was time to begin my cooking experience.

I made sure I had enough time to make my lasagna before my husband got home and also made sure that he had no idea. (What? I like to surprise my husband! Besides I felt that if it was a flop it would be okay because he would have no idea) I ran to the grocery store to buy something called “ricotta cheese” which I had no idea even existed. Then I ran home and started the oven.

Cooking the meat and noodles.


Do you know how difficult ricotta cheese is to spread? It’s definitely not easy! I continued to make layer after layer. Before I knew it, I had made my very first lasagna!



I then realized how large it was and that we couldn’t possibly finish it on our own, so we invited friends over!
