i hosted a dinner party this evening. just a little one. i had andrew, shannon, and brendan over for supper. a+s are vegetarians so i needed to come up with something suitable. rach gave me 3 different recipes, and i ended up making black bean chili with avocado salsa. it turned out really good. i'm really excited because i'd never made chili before, and it was very tasty. the fact that i had andrew's stamp of approval meant a lot because he's a real pro with chili making.

earlier this week i made a home-made twister board. i figured it was just plastic and circles, how hard would it be! i had intended that we'd play it at my dinner party. i haven't played twister since i was 14! but unfortunately, the kind of paint i used didn't work so well, in fact, it's flaked off all over the floor. i think i'll try again at some point, because it looked really good until it didn't.

have you ever tried googling something and the search options the server suggests are totally bizarre? when i tried looking up "how to play twister", i got all sorts of bizarre suggestions. such as... how to tie a tie, how to make your hair grow faster, how to get pregnant, how to make a resume, how to make a paper airplane, how to make out. i particularly found the make out one funny, so i clicked on it to see what they had to say.

the build up lasted for days,
lasted for weeks,
lasted too long.
