Pesto Shrimp & Veggies

It was a hot day yesterday. Kissing the triple digits. So I thought I'd cook outside instead of heating the house up. This was super tasty. A complete meal in a packet.

Highlights of the day:

* Went to TJ Maxx and bought 2 pairs of super cute jeans. In get this... size 6. I wanted to run out of the dressing room and get on the loudspeaker ATTENTION SHOPPERS: Do you realize I was busting the seams of size 28 just 2 years ago??? Woot Woot Woot!

* After my shower I noticed my boob scars are looking better and better. I've been slathering them with Bio Oil. It rocks and smells awesome too.

* In my latest sewing lesson I learned how to make a clothespin bag (or if you are a Brit a "Peg Bag"). This one was 75% Mum and only about 25% me. I'm only good at straight lines. Oh I did saw down and sand the wooden hanger.

Yet another use for my pre-op jeans. Wanna see?
