Welcome to 2010, everyone! I've got a feeling that this year, that this DECADE, is going to be so much better than the last. It can't get much worse, anyway!

I'm kinda...stuck on the weight loss right now. I think I need to actually find some way to get the carbs out of my house, rather than lock them away because it's not working. I gave my cousin and her son 2 boxes of chocolate today. The 3 year old loved it, he was in his element! My cousin, not so much since she's trying to diet too.

My gift to myself for a new year was a crock pot for my new kitchen in my new house. I love it! I have never used one before, but I threw in 2 chicken breasts, a cup of sliced leek, a cup of mushrooms and 2 cups of broccoli, and left it for a few hours. For someone who doesn't cook, as well as just threw some random items together without a recipe, it turned out pretty well! It's enough to feed me for tomorrow and monday at the very least. Given a couple of days, I'm going to try my hand at steak and mushroom to go with my stir-fry veggies. This thing is so easy! I don't know why I never bought one before.
