Gumbo

So since October Mom, Mika, Aunt Nancy and I have been doing weight watchers! We're all doing really well. Combined we've lost over 110 pounds! (Which is insane and awesome!) We are always looking for yummy food and how to take old recipes and make them healthier! Tonight I made gumbo, but I didn't make the Roux and everything, I made healthy gumbo! Hooray! It was delish and full of yummy seafood!! I just need to remember the recipe and write it down before I forget it. I have a terrible habit of not writing down the things I cook. So tonight I'm off to writing down the recipe! Maybe I'll post it on here for anyone who's interested in a yummy gumbo that doesn't have 2 cups of oil and 2 cups of flour (like real gumbo!)

Here it is!

Here's Scout on the new duvet!



And here's Stella and Scout :-) This is how I get pictures of them together :-)

Sooo sorry!

So I knew this would happen it was bound to. I knew if I started a blog I would neglect it. Well I am going to try and change that. (yeah yeah yeah) You've heard it all before. Julia's gonna do this, and Julia's gonna do that. Well all I can say is that I am going to try my hardest!

So I am sure you might have heard, I got a job! Horray! It's absolutely wonderful! It's a small architecture firm (it's just me and the owner / architect) so very small. But It's two blocks from my house! I walk to work, walk home for lunch, and walk all around!! It's great! We are currently working on Clubhouses and Homes. It's a huge change from the type of work I was doing before and the type of office I was in, but change is good.

I have extra time on my hands now because I lack commute! Horray! So I've been trying to use the extra time to organize around my apartment. Now I'm almost done and perfectly content with the organization, so guess what that means? More time for Blogging!! (hopefully...)

In other news, It was freezing today here, which is funny cause it's not freezing here at all in compairison to the rest of the country, but it was cold enough for me to bundle up and wear my Ravenclaw Scarf I got in Harry Pottery World with my sisters!



Horray!!
