Posted by: Amanda on: October 31, 2008
For lunch today I had a sandwich with roasted red pepper hummus (yum!), soy cheese, and tomato. I also had a pear.
Did I mention that my dad was painting our upstairs bathroom? I don’t think so. He finished this morning. It’s a lovely shade of purple!
Okay NOW I am off to work. [...]
