not easy being green.

I need my bathroom to be green.  Or, at least, to not be pink anymore.  If I could just get one of the blasted people to call me back to give me on estimate on reglazing the tile, and then actually get the tile to be reglazed, then I could move forward with my fresh white tile and paint fresh green walls.  I'm getting antsy.

In other news, the first new recipe for the week turned out to be a hit, thanks, in part, to my lovely crockpot.  And, so, currently, I have dinner cooking again...in the crockpot, of course (though it did require about 25 minutes of prep work).  It's...lasagna!!!  If it's really this easy to make lasagna AND if, in 4 hours, it tastes yummy, then I will officially jump on the lasagna bandwagon, something that, aside from two attempts (one which wasn't even traditional lasagna..it was Rachael Ray's "winter lasagna"), I have avoided.

Facebook, and the internet in general, really, is many things, some that are great and others that aren't so good...but, in the area of recipe-sharing, it has proved to be wonderful.  I love being able to read the comments/ratings/modifications/etc. of others to help me come up with a menu.  Only a couple of things haven't been so good, and both times, it was because I stuck to the orignal recipe, rather than taking the advice of those who made modifications.  Nevertheless, for as many recipes as I have saved in my Favorites, two is a minimal amount.  Now, if I those farmers markets would just open for the season and let me have at 'em, my cooking would be at its finest!

I'm beginning to sense that I might be feeling impatient today.  *Deeeeeep breath* At least dinner's already made, and the sun is shining brightly, and I had a great workout this morning, and my son is taking a wonderful nap, and, and, and...I have no right to complain.
