easter


easter 051, originally uploaded by caroliebee.

i gave up meat for lent this year. i've been trying to eat less and less meat for about two years, so it wasn't that bad. i did start craving prosciutto the last two weeks. for easter my mom and i made an awesome paella. we used shrimp, chicken, mussels, and crawfish. it was a very delicious way to ease into meat.

so, that break i was excited about never actually came. it's scheduled for may, but we'll see if i can actually stick with it. actually, i've had some more free time lately but it's mostly spent fixing up the house again. we have family coming to visit in the next few weeks and all of those little tasks that we put off really need to get done. so far I've finished the front yard, my bedroom, bathroom and the spare room. we just need to declutter the kitchen, the back yard, and my mom's room. i'm sad the back yard has gotten so out of sorts. all that work getting it to look cute! it shouldn't be that hard though, it's not as bad as before i started working on it.
