Chicken Fajitas and Homemade Guacamole

So the last couple of days I've had a visitor in town. Since I am home a lot searching for jobs and somewhat playing/pretending to be a house wife, having a visitor is the highlight of my day. I love playing host and it’s a good break from reality. It was surprisingly sunny in London yesterday and the weather is suppose to continue the shine all this week! I wish everyday was like this in London! Today, I’m going to venture out to a new small park and sit down and read a book. It’s rare that it’s this sunny, so I try to take full advantage of it. Now with all the visitors gone, I’m back to schedule. I have to start exercising, eating right and finish my errands that I’ve been delaying since last month!
