Nightmares, Nanners, and Art...

Still 98 pounds, praise be to god....


I keep having weird dreams about my extended family. Like last night, I dreamt that my aunt and uncle and cousins told me and Little Sis we should go to their house for Thanksgiving (I stress a lot about Thanksgiving, because each year it makes me realize more and more that the father and step-mother dislike my presence at family functions). So Aunt and Uncle invited us and we said ok (even though they're in Ireland and do not have Thanksgiving), but then their house was in the middle of this ridiculous swamp, and the only way to get there was by trying to cross these crazy, mostly rotten wooden plank-bridge things. And there were alligators in the water. Then of course when we finally made it to the house, I was too scared to eat because I didn't know how many calories were in everything, but that happens in like every dream.
-_-


Snack time!
I took 2 regular-sized bananas and cut them into very thin slices, which I placed on parchment paper. 

I sprinkled half of them with a little cinnamon and splenda, and baked them in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (~94 degrees Centigrade), turning them over every half hour. 






After about 2 hours, I had banana chips.

 (I should have cooked them longer, as a lot of them weren't quite crispy enough.) The cinnamon splenda ones were definitely yummier than the plain.


I shall be trying Almost.Skinny's frozen fruit one day this week, in my continuing effort to eat fruit without gagging. I hate fruit. Too sweet, and too mushy. I'd rather have a steak, thanks. But I also don't want scurvy, so methinks I should step up my efforts to eat more fruit... There shall also be some more yummy recipes up--Mum wants me to make her pumpkin soup, and I found a recipe for almond milk ice cream. I know we have an ice cream maker somewhere, so I'm definitely trying that one...


I've started work on Peri's patch:

You can't see the pencil marks for where the actual embroidery is going, but I'll keep posting pics as my work progresses. That's just the background. I'll be painting another layer before it gets sprayed and the edges painted so it doesn't start fraying, then the actual embroidery shall begin. 


And it will be epic.


f*ckedUpAppendix, thanks doll! And I can definitely relate to parents favouring the other kids. Mum treats Little Sis like a princess. And of course Dad favours his boys. I'm in the middle of 6 kids, so I never had much a chance. 


Eloise18, my Mum is the same way. She still offers me cheese, even though she should know at this point that I HATE cheese and have always hated it. 


Ariana, teaspoon, and Leto; I'm glad there's others out there who love the Sword in the Stone! :D I used to watch that movie like every day when I was little. I'm pretty sure it's one of the reasons I'm so unhinged. 


Tracy, hope you survive your parents!! <3


And Morbid.Diathesis, Honor Regzig, Depressed Skinny Mess, bonesarepure, Lilah Lee, Sofiasaurr, Kennedy, All.That.Wander.Are.Not.Lost, Amy, Sarah, and The Next Best Thing--thanks so much for all your kind words! You gals are the best. :-*


Off to exercise. Have a lovely day (or night)!! <3
