*mutters at ice* at least it wasn't as bad as the ice storm two years ago...but i swear, i could go ice skating in my backyard. it might help if i had some ice skates, but...;) although, something happened earlier that i had not thought possible...i did the splits. :P it's the ice's fault! i placed my right foot into the breeze (our third car; we call it as such to distinguish it from my dad's car), and my left foot went WHOOSH! and backwards, slamming my right foot into the floor and forcing my legs apart. i distinctly heard a snicker from behind me, where some of the kids that had swum earlier were climbing into their car. *mutterimnotthatflexiblemutter*ah well. it could have been worse...i could have slipped walking across the parking lot and broken something other than my pride. instead, i'll just be a little sore tomorrow. much better in my book.
i spent the afternoon (before i went to work) in the kitchen. i made gingersnaps after lunch, and cinnamon roasted almonds when i got home. yum...i think i've had my share of sugar for the day. ;) i really enjoy putsying around in the kitchen, and i haven't had time lately, so this was really fun. desserts are my favorite thing to make. spaghetti sauce is a close second, but i just enjoy cooking in general. and (surprisingly) i haven't made something that didn't get eaten very quickly. (well, except the gingersnaps, but one batch makes six dozen cookies, and i'm the only one who likes gingersnaps at all, regardless of who made them, so that makes sense.) actually, there aren't usually leftovers from whatever i make unless i intentionally make enough for leftovers (and sometimes not even then!). i didn't even make any bricks when i was learning how to make angel food cake from scratch...my mother tells stories about some of her first ones that were harder than bricks. not quite sure what that means, but i did consider becoming a chef at one point...
