koncupiscencewell, i made it four days straight before i crapped out on Post Every Day week. friday was such a hectic day at work and it wasn't until i fell into bed exhausted that i realized i hadn't posted anything. for a brief moment i considered getting out from under the covers, but that thought was quickly replaced by another, fuck it.
saturday morning was gray and rainy (hooray!), and i faffed and watched iron man 2. i did a little kicky dance of glee when agent coulson showed up, ngl. the rest of the day was spent catching up on tv from the week, sorting and starting seven loads of laundry, and the most minimal tidying up, all while fighting off a headache.
and sure enough, i was up at 4 am on sunday with a full-blown migraine. i spent the next three hours of the dark, early morning on my couch, watching (or listening to) buffy, and trying my very hardest not to throw up. honestly, i don't know how i would make it through a migraine without excedrin and buffy the vampire slayer. the pills, so that my head doesn't actually explode - because some days it feels like it just might, and the tv show because it's like a comforting cocoon of comfort. hot cocoa for the soul. it's home, and it tells me everything will be okay. thank you, joss. sincerely. ♥
surprisingly, after that morning trauma, i was actually feeling pretty good by the afternoon and had my most productive day in weeks. i did ALL THE LAUNDRY and ALL THE DISHES, swept and swiffered every surface, put away the lingering remnants of christmas, and with my meager rations in the cupboard managed to make lasagna for dinner and pear-oat muffins for the week. AND IT FELT GREAT. /o/
OH WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL. i also re-did my nails (as seems to be my sunday night tradition three weeks in a row): captain america glitter, silver edition. :D
i love them! they remind me of little frosted cupcakes with sprinkles. :p i still might add one more coat of glitter for a little extra sparkle.
tonight there was much needed marketing. how i survived the weekend with no bread-type product in the house is beyond me. a glorious hunk of cheddar in the fridge and not one sourdough slice, tortilla, or cracker to put it on. tears tears vomit.
ion, why oh why don't i have any avengers icons yet? :(

Date: 2012-01-24 06:32 am (UTC)oat & apple muffins (but i used pears, because i had pears)
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
2 eggs, beaten
6 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 apples (or pears!), pealed, cored, and grated (or diced!)
the recipe says it makes 6 muffins, but for me it made 12. o_O
combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a bowl and mix well. in a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and oil, and then add to the oats mixture along with the apples (or pears!). mix everything together briefly until combined - do not overmix. spoon into muffin pan and top each one with a little extra sugar. bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (mine were done in 30, perhaps because they were smaller muffins than intended).
the nails are also super easy. it's just a coat of silver polish covered with a couple coats of this clear polish with red, silver, and blue glitter in it. it has the tiny specks of glitter along with the larger circles that give it that polka-dotty effect. YAY GLITTER.
