Update: Friday 19 Apr

Hellooooo.

It's Friday. I'm so glad it's Friday, I've had a rough week. I'm not sure why, I just have.

It would appear that this week, I am the queen of vertical pictures. Vertical pictures are rarely unnecessary…

Last week, I went to a classmate's house so we could make dinner together. We made a big quiche, over-stuffed with zucchini and tomatoes. And also feta and gouda. It was interesting, to say the least. It was also really good, though. Anyway, as a side we had salad. Nora bought this lettuce that came roots-attached. She was going to throw the roots away, so I stole them. To see what happens if I plant them. That's the one in the bottom left of this picture, if it's not obvious. It seems to be growing nicely. Might be a while before it grows to an edible size, but I don't care. Maybe every two or three weeks I can have a salad! Ha. Anyway, I also bought a chive plant and basil plant, and neither of them were very happy so I repotted them. They look mildly happier now that I've chopped the chives down to an inch and let the basil dry out a bit (I guess it doesn't like being over-watered). Still have a way to go before my basil is at 100% I think, but trust me when I say it looks much better than it did. It helps that it's been fairly sunny this week.

I was going to show you the bookmark that my mother made for me and then mailed. And I was going to hang it over my laptop screen to take a picture… when I discovered that my laptop screen is super-magnetic. The bookmark even matches my blanket. Camouflage bookmark. Thanks Momma!

I signed up for another gift exchange… I know, I shouldn't do that, but I thought maybe it'd be fairly cheap because if the person I have to gift to lives in the US I could buy online and shipping would be massively cheaper… It was a condiments exchange. The exchange started on the 15th, and the person who was meant to gift to me only pulled my information on the 16th, and I already got my gift yesterday. Super-fast shipping, from California. I only wanted to tell you about it because they sent me two bottles of vegan/vegetarian barbeque sauce and now I want to go put it on everything. Or drink it. I can't decide which. The website they used provided me with a $5 discount code for my own future shopping, and they ship world-wide for $4 so I used that website for my own gift… Because I failed at my objective, and my person is not in the US but rather in South Korea, and believe it or not there aren't many websites that are willing to ship to South Korea… That was probably the cheapest gift exchange I've done yet. I'm proud of myself. ;)
