Diary of an Ex-Fiancée.

This ex-boyfriend/break up business freaking sucks. (why bother saying ex-fiancée since he didn't even really want to be engaged) It's kind of weird that to me, he was the boy i was planning on spending the rest of my life with. To him, i was his starter girlfriend.



I have learned a lot of information about myself and relationships in general though, which i suppose will help me in the present and future. And i have had a tremendous support system. Family, family friends, my S. Florida, Orlando and Internet friends...I'm a really lucky gal in that department.

Everyday gets a little easier, sometimes i feel like I'm going in reverse. Sometimes i feel like caving and talking to him, but most of the time I'm doing alright. I just hope it gets better soon. I need to get on with my life, without feeling hindered by my emotions.

Antiqued Love

I am completely having jewelry withdrawals, i haven't been able to make any new items in forever and a day. This is one of the charm bracelets i recently received back from a store i was in, so it's not new. It's just "new" to my Flickr. :) Antique inspired charms dangle off of a neat [and also antique inspired] chain,

Dinner makes for Happy Bellies.

My friend Riley and I made dinner the other night, well, he watched, and cut onions and i made dinner. I think it turned out REALLY well though. I love that satisfied feeling i get when i eat something wonderful, and that little extra when i know it's healthy too.

To make this brilliant meal;

The beans were soaking over night and then boiled so they were all ready to saute. Saute enough of them to just cover the pan with some Olive Oil until they are brown [this, is the hardest part for me, i am so impatient!]. Then add some onions for flavor. [It doesn't matter if it's red or white].



Just saute up some mushrooms while your boiling broccoli. I like to add loads of garlic, pepper, oregano and pine nuts to mine, and i wait until the mushrooms get just a little brown. [mushrooms i can wait for, maybe because i love them so!] Then i sauted yellow squash and added tomatos just for a few minutes. Now it's healthy and colorful!

Boil pasta in the broccoli water. It saves time and doesn't affect the pasta much. Tonight, i added lemon, fresh Romano cheese i [i mean Riley] shredded, and probably way to much pesto. Pesto, in my opinion goes on EVERYTHING, and in large quantities.



Now serve and your ready to go! The hardest part is not going back for thirds. :)

Enjoy!
