Early morning ramblings





I've been up a few hours...ugggg...just too many things on my mind. And as its just 3am, Cece is stirring. She stirs and plays almost everyday at 3...which is when I would often wake up when I was pregnant with her. She will play and rumble around in her crib for awhile then she'll usually fall back asleep till we get her up at 6am.
Well I've surfed the web and watched a good home renovation show on HGTV (Dream House- see pic above), now I'm feeling more and more restless. I could make a major change in my life but an terrified of moving forward. Loyalties and compassion have me holding back but ohhhh I'd love to really fully embrace what I love to do and not set limits on myself. Will have to pray about it.
So I've been craving a gluten-free noodle stir-fry for a few days and decided to try to make some. I mixed up my stir-fry sauce and then started the noodles. Rice noodles are quite a bit different than traditional wheat noodles. So I found some different noodles from Walmart and decided to fry some up per the package directions. And what fun!!! After the oil got hot enough, the noodles quickly blew up in beautiful curly shapes. See pic above. But then I got stuck...the noodles, though beautiful, were not at all what I expected...basically fried oil with rice starch. So right now we're using them as table art. Back to the cooking books. Signing off for now. Hou's keeping me company this morning- pic above (he's healing well). -R

Love your dream house.... in regards to moving forward. I guess all I can say is that life is short so take the plunge and do what you think is best... glad to see Hou is doing better.
I kind of do miss the pretty Kodiak snow but just a little bit.
