ahh that was nice. Diving head first into a story always replenishes my spirit. Now that the four books have been devoured I can step back into my life. Thankfully the books were written for teens so the read was quick, thrilling and not all that deep. It is easy now to come up for air

The children missed me They have been much more cooperative, attentive and pleasant. I think I should disappear much more often.

I am not that far behind on the home front. J allowed me the time to escape. It reminded me how much I like to escape into my own little world. Having young children does not allow that much, however a supportive husband is amazing. Since we moved so much I have been so lonely for companionship,  that inner desire to be cozy, curled up with a good book was pushed away so that I could force myself to get out there, meet the people. I have people now, the bonds of friendship blossoming in a healthy slow rate that does not make me nervous.

We are having friends over for dinner Saturday for the first time since hmmmm, holy moly…Since we lived in Canada 3 years AGO. Gosh we are lame. Granted we did not have the perfect set up in California to host dinner parties, but geez. I am thrilled to have our friends over, we are preparing California rolls and some other Japanese foods!! Our little apartment will be overflowing with kids and laughter! Yippee!

What is your favourite dish to serve to your dinner guests?
