Apparently...

I'm no good at making banana bread. It was mushy and not cooked through, despite the fact that it was in the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Grrr...I put a lot of time into it and was looking forward to it (as was Papa) and I messed up. :( Sorry Bryce...looks like you will have to do the cooking in the house!! Although, I can make a mean scrambled egg and toast breakfast... :)

In other news, I bought a new trash can today. Pretty exciting, right? Well, it is when you have been using an outdoor trash can in your kitchen for the past 2 weeks. Papa doesn't seem to get that it is totally gross to do that. First off, it is unsanitary. Secondly, he uses no trash bags so everything he throws out could potentially and does stick to the can. And third, it takes up soooo much room. He was insistent that he did not care about any of that and that it was not necessary to buy a new one but I marched off to good ol' Target and bought a normal kitchen trash bag. I don't think he is used to it yet because several times today he has left wrappers on the counters, as if totally unaware of the shiny new trash can sitting there in front of him. Or, he could totally be defying me and rebelling against the trash can...that seems more likely.

Anyhow, I also bought a book today. It has been a while since I have read for pleasure and now that school is out, I can finally enjoy a good book. I picked "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. You might recognize it as a recent movie but it was a book way before it was a film. I'm not too far into it but so far it's okay...I can honestly say that getting through those first boring chapters of a book is the worst part of reading for me. After that, it gets good and I can really enjoy it.

So, I'm off to go read some more and catch some shut-eye. Sorry for another really long post...I don't know why I'm writing so much!! :)

Adios!
