It really bothers me .....

when people make commitments they have no/little intention in keeping....(just in case that worried you at all this is in no way about Chris and me) Why would you ever do that? Why make promises to someone when you know that if it doesn't pan out exactly like you thought or that it took more than minimal effort to make it work that you were out of there? And why go through the in pretenses of going through the temple just for looks and to make your parents happy? To make covenants just to brake them because "you can". Step up and be a better version of yourself instead of digging yourself into a hole and while your at it rolling around in that same dirt and pretending that it's making you feel better about being down there in the first place? People drive me crazy don't do the things your doing and than act like it's everyone else fault for how poorly you feel and how your life has "suddenly" turned so bad. *stepping off soap box*

Now on a completely different note. Things with Chris and me are just great nothing noteworthy really going on just the same ol' same ol' but as they say "no news is good news". I have endeavored in making a sourdough starter, for those of you who don't know what that means.... it's pretty much cultivating your own yeast to use in breads. (I've used this method of doing it if anyone is interested) Bread rises slower using it but it is healthier for you and is supposed to add more flavor to your breads, pancakes, muffins, whatever you cook using it. And it's an experience that I thought would be fun to have, to be able to use something that I've worked at and have grown.... like a yeast garden lol. I'm actually growing two. I have one that I'm feeding with just wheat flour and one with all purpose. So I'll have one wheat and one white once they are fully grown. I am on day 6 and the wheat one is doing a bit better than the white one it actually is rising up quite a bit after getting fed and should be ready to use here before too long. OH and I forgot I've named them well actually Chris named one and I the other... The white starter Chris has named Bob the Blob and the white one is name Yeasty Steve =D

Here are our two boys next to each other lol. As you can see Steve is quite a bit more active than Bob is at this point but to be fair I had just stirred in some Apple Cider Vinegar to give Bob a boost. So he was just stirred down when I took the picture.


here's a close up on Steve.... he has been doing really well in just the last couple of days has started to rise quite a bit
his "name tag" lol you know how I like being crafty. I printed than cut them out and "laminated" aka covered with packing tape =D (Don't mind the water marks I kinda got it wet)


And than here's a close up on Bob you can tell how much Steve has really risen because they have the same amount in both but this is what they look like being stirred down

and than his name tag

So that's what we've been up to as of late. Oh and if anyone in the area wants some of either starters when they are fully grown I'd be happy to share. Hope you all are well!

Let's see who plays =D

My friend posted this on her blog and I couldn't resist so here it is:
