Hello Hello Hello!

I'm in a terrific mood, even though I slept weird. Intensely detailed dreams, back pain (oy - planted a peach tree and almost too late!) and excitement for Spring. What? Some people get excited about Spring, it's a thing...? :D Also, we had Balloonists overhead all weekend! There's a balloonery (we have no idea what it's called when a bunch of hot air balloon enthusiasts get together, so we chose Balloonery, hee!) near our house, so seeing them off in the distance isn't unusual. But these were DIRECTLY OVER HEAD!! Like, skimming (almost) rooftops!!

( Check it out! Taken with my crappy camera phone, so apologies for lack of crispness )

Also, I've been looking for a brand of curry that comes in ready to go blocks for about TEN YEARS, I kid you not, and finally FINALLY found it in Little India (a neighborhood of Botswanans here in DFW - I kid. They're Guatemalans. HA.) and bought all I could. It makes the BEST curry sauce, and it's no fuss! (Apparently I should have had an easier time finding this - believe me, I KNOW.) And warning: hot is FLAMING. And I'd like to think I know from hot. Medium hot is something my kids can eat. So I made a curry last night with sweet potatoes and onions and carrots and chicken over barley, because we're trying to eat healthier. NUM. I'm going to use some to make dal later this week. I LOVE FOOD, zomg.

And last, but not least, I have music! ( Monday Mix for you. )

And so I prepare for library trips, wheee! Happy Monday! ETA Oh my GOD. Richard Jeni! Just.. not what I expected to read today, that's for sure. RIP - his funny Jaws 4 bit. :(
