Don't ever marry a musician, it's an old adage and one that you should take with a grain of salt (ahem).
Oh Jason, why do you disappoint me so? You with your perfect fucking brown twinkle eyes and calm demeanor. It's hard playing second fiddle to a bass (or fiddle for that matter!).
The interesting thing I have learned about having a musician for a partner is that the more you push the farther they will fly away. Seems simple enough, but if you are looking to be his one and only you will end up alone and lonely.
Art comes first and isn't that why I loved you in the first place, hoping perhaps that some of that passion would leak on over to my side of the bed?
You are gentle and sweet and sexy and smart and generally fantastic when you are here.
I wonder if there is a list somewhere generating amount of time spent together before trouble sets in sort of thing, like you can determine if your relationship is going rotten before your very eyes by the amount of time you spend apart. Probably not accurate though I suppose.
I need to slap myself in the face constantly with reality, who the fuck am I to tell you what to do? In my own nihilistic way I get art, I may not be a creator of such but without other peoples art and words and lives where would I be? How can we exist with nothing? We need more than eachother we need creativity and life and conflicts and pain and messiness. A good old fashioned fight and subsequent role in the hay will fix this conundrum.

Yesterday was my birthday celebration. My mom watched Jane for us and Jay and I headed out for the evening. First we went to a new sushi restaurant a couple of blocks from our house (as dictated by our coupons) then we went to a movie (also using coupons for admission and snacks) Then off to a show where we met up with a few friends, had a couple of beers and watched some great music, we got home around 1 and Jay cooked up a disgusting drunken snack for us. Veggie dogs, beer mustard in a tortilla, yuck and yum all at once.

Woke up this morning after sleeping in until 10:30 (thank you jay!) lazed around for a bit and then jay whipped up some scramble and attempted to make banana toast using the recipe found in the Vegan handbook. It did not turn out and I couldn't even tell you what went wrong. But the scramble was great, a variation on a recipe found in vegan with a vengeance (where one can very seldom go wrong)

Dinner was quesadillas with black beans, acorn squash, and earth island nacho cheeze left over from pizza night on thursday.

To top it off we had sexy low fat cupcakes with almond butter icing for dessert from vegan cupcakes take over the world.

I will add some pics tomorrow as I am to full to properly move right now.

Jane and I both had an appointment today with our nurse practioner. Jane to recieve the second last of her vaccinations andme to have an all over physical to recheck for the abnormal cells I have been carrying around for close to two years now. I will find out the results of the test after having yet another appointment with the gyno and hopefully just have it scheduled to remove them.

After that we spent the afternoon walking around picking up purchases here and there while Janie snoozed in the carrier. I found three balls of awesome yarn on sale for 50 percent off. Picked up some Weleda diaper cream for the little bum and in an amazing act of self control somehow managed to resist buying a cinnamon bun from Tall Grass Prairie Bakery despite the amazing smells coming out of there.

Today we had yummy vegan perogie pizza and this is the final result. Jay made spelt pizza dough using the vegan with a vengence recipe with some obvious variations, it turned out a little tough but it was still great.
We also had a nacho pizza with tomatoes, green onions, garlic, salsa base, nacho earth island vegan cheeze, and ate it with some sour supreme.
To top it off we had lemon bars from "the joy of vegan baking" made with spelt flour instead of whole wheat.
Obviously overdone once again.
But I did go to the gym to hopefully counter act the incredible gourge.

A wealth of food

Eaten today: First Crock pot masterpiece a success! Lenil and Quinoa curry served with naan bread and chili sauce. YUM. Jane has white beans, brown rice and broccoli and man did she ever scarf the broccoli. The dogs were covered in rice when we were through eating and I spent the better part of a quarter of an hour peeling sticky rice from the stringy hair they both seem to have under their ears.
Jay and Daniel left to go to band practice and I made myself a huge (probably over did it as per usual) bowl of popcorn before realizing that there is no salt. I used an MSG ridden sorry excuse for a seasoning calling itself "jalepeno salt" and nearly gagged at the impression it left on me.

However, and as I am sure if you read this consistently you will come to realize, I ate it anyway because I have no self control and I love food so dearly.

Things to purchase for tomorrows vegan nacho pizza: Sour Supreme, Salsa and a nice bottle of red wine.

I promise to take more pictures and display our fantastic spread as my husband dishes out some mad cooking skills using as many variations as possible to make recipes our own.

We LOVE food around here (and it shows....heheheh)
