happydalek | Notes from a day in the life of Happydalek

In a sudden burst of productiveness, I spent my Saturday cleaning and cooking. Yay! I rediscovered the awesomeness of my Mediterranean white pizza recipe and made it for the family. They all liked it very much. What they didn't like so much was my homemade hummus. Hummus is ridiculously easy to make and endlessly versatile, but all my dad could say about it was that it "smelled like butt." (Lol.) Note to anyone interested in making hummus: unless you absolutely looooove garlic, don't use more than half a teaspoon or it's all you'll taste. (Generally, one clove of garlic is equal to one teaspoon.) I ended up with lots more hummus than I planned to thin out the garlic flavor, but in the end it turned out all right. Since my sister came over to help my mom clear out the basement (I was not invited since my "throw it all away" attitude apparently clashed with my mom's sentimental leanings), I cleaned my room. I currently have about one-and-a-half trash bags full, which isn't all that much, considering the state of it. I just have too much stuff to keep in one room. It's a sad state of affairs when a whole day spent cleaning leaves the place looking about as dire as it was when I started. *facepalm* I foresee a need to rearrange furniture.

And, looking over my journal entries from the last year, I have resolved to try and make this journal a bit more fun and bloggy and a little less moany and angsty. I realized that it does me little good to dwell on each uncertainty and bump in the road, plus I'd like to become a more productive writer by posting more fic. So here's to a brighter, busier 2009, and a truly happier Happydalek!
