A series of unfortunate events...

I feel like a lot has happened since I last posted...when really only a few things have.

So I started to organize my room...it was going well. Taking a little longer then I expected...after 3 days of working on it between going to work it was shaping up nice. The closet was all cleared and I just needed to organize the vanity and my drawers. Look I have a floor!

 Well it was looking all nice...and then I had a unexpected guest about to arrive at the house and the downstairs looked DISASTROUS! So a very quick clean up entailed taking all of my belongs (including laundry basket, giant burlesque props, and here and there bits) and shoving them in my bedroom so they were out of sight. My living room now looks fabulous...my room however...kinda in shambles again.  -.-; I now have plenty of time to clean but the reason I have time is also the reason I can not clean. Which I will explain in a minute...

So the room isn't done. Which was my big project last week, which also took away time from me grocery shopping and planning meals. So for my "cook once a week" resolution I cheated! >.<
It was yummy though.  Sauteed pieorgies with peppers.

I don't really count this as 'cooking' though, at least not the way I wanted. Because all I did was heat butter in a pan. 

On this note I wanted to explain my "cook once a week" resolution a little better. I live with roommates, one whom cooks very tasty meals, so it is not necessary for me to cook all the time. I eat a lot of plain sandwiches too...  I am also addicted...yes ADDICTED to eating out. It is always so good and fun way to get out of the house... It is an evil addiction. I am trying desperately to cure myself.  It is only rivaled by my addiction to Cheese and Chocolate. They are the answer to all the worlds problems I swear, they taste so good with everything! 

But yes, I love eating out, fancy restaurants, pubs, fast food, food stands, everyone has got something I like! However I am going to be forced into making my food for a little while because I can't go out as easy as I would like now...which is also the reason I can not clean.

The reason?

Last year I fell on my left knee, pretty hard, had to be off my feet for a week and wear a huge leg brace for a month. They said I 'strained some ligaments'  and well it never fully got better. It actually aches a lot day-to-day. Well being the graceful being I am I fell on my outdoor concrete/metal stairs Monday night, putting all of my weight onto that already screwed up knee. It hurt. No it hurts.

So to the doctor I went Tuesday. He thinks I probably tore my meniscus last year and made it worse with my fall. I am now off of work until further notice...its hard to be a hairstylist when you can't stand up... I have an MRI scheduled for Friday afternoon to confirm and to determine if surgery is needed.  I also get to wear a spiffy brace, walk with a cane, and am supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible. 

It's scary, painful, and I don't like being stuck! Hopefully it will all turn out well...

SO while I am stuck at home I am going to cook and work on little projects (not cleaning! :( ) to share with you guys to bide my time. 

Hmm teriyaki chicken rice bowl anyone? I think thats next ^.^
