Believe me, this is a real US dollar. I love how he's placidly eating the leaves. It took me a while to stop laughing and figure that it was a sticker strategically placed over Washington's face. It looks pretty real in person.
This is one dollar I'll be saving.
Don't worry, I haven't given up.
I blame it on being a robot for the last month. Automation is so overrated.
Pictured here is one of the things I was busy doing. This is a Passion Fruit Cheesecake (Nigella Larson) I made for Jason's birth day last week. I served it with a guava sauce (I made up) on the side. What you see on top are passion fruit seeds, not frog eggs as Jason may have you believe. As a gift I got him a Treo smart phone so he can start pretending to be a doctor in the hospital as he starts his rounds. Don't worry, I didn't pay full price for that thing. I'm not that much of an asshole! I actually got it for less than half it's retail value, if you can believe it. No, it wasn't ebay.
I was also very busy trying to finish a hat I started a couple of months ago. The pattern ( from Knitty, of course) turned out to be more fun than I would have thought.
Jason takes his boards on Monday (Yikes!) and he's been hogging the computer with "Q-bank" sessions so that's another reason why I haven't been writing. He was generous enough to share today -- I tease.
After his test I have three days off + a weekend to spend some much needed rest/quality time together. I was hoping to go to boston, cape cod (provincetown), martha's vineyard, and or nantucket but It seems those plans will fizzle. It's totally doable especially since we still have a gift certificate for bnbfinder.com that Derek gave us. I found a few really nice bnbs that actually still have rooms. But Jason seems to think he won't have a very good time there. Stuffiness aside, I'm just curious to go see what it's like. To see something new. Especially since it's so accessible now that we live in Philly. I'd like to think that it's as simple as him just being a creature of habit but I think it's more like he has to be convinced. Or even simpler, he just doesn't care that much. Boards are more important right now. God, how could I be so bad in trying to distract him with silly decisions. Maybe I should just book/plan a vacation and tell him to sit back and enjoy.
