4-Day Weekend

Starting on Monday I've had a 4-day weekend.  It's been really nice doing nothing.  But I have been doing some things...

First of all, I updated this blog.  I revamped it and reorganized everything.  I also added two new sections.  The first one is called "Adventures in Cooking."  Since I've had a lot of time, I've started doing something I've been wanting to do for a long time.  Cook a meal for Aaron.  For the past week or so, Aaron's been pretty homesick.  So, I decided to cheer him up by making some local Hawaii foods.  First, I made one of his favorite dishes:  Spicy Ahi Poke Bowl.  The next few days, I tried making a few more other local Hawaii dishes.

Anyway, I'm not a good cook and I don't do it hardly ever.  But I saw the movie Julie and Julia.  It made cooking look so fun.  Especially blogging about it makes it a lot more interesting.  Now anyone can read about my stupid mistakes, which I've already made!  This was something I wanted to do once married and once forced to cook every day.  But it seems I've started early.  Oh well.  It's still fun.  It'll probably stop as soon as I start working again (like in 2 days) and I probably won't start it up again till after I'm married.

The second new tab on the menu bar is "Wedding Site."  It's a wedding site I created for the wedding.  Duh.  I don't know if it's really necessary, but all these wedding planning things kept telling me I should do one.  So I did.  I think it's pretty pointless.  But oh well.  Not all the information is up yet because, well, we don't have all the info yet.  I hope this wedding site becomes a good tool once we start inviting people.

Anyway, I spent this 4-day weekend basically typing away, cooking, and eating.  And sleeping in.  It was wonderful.  I've got one more full day off tomorrow.  Then, on Friday, I'm back in business.
