I hate that this is my first entry of 2007. I've been meaning to post for awhile, but so much has happened, I don't know where to start.
So, here's my start...
Hellooooo from Boston!
(No, I didn't move here, though I wish. Jenn is running the marathon in the morning. Rachel and I came here with her on Friday to spend a nice relaxing weekend before her run.)
I'll be home tomorrow night. The marathon is at 11, and Rachel and I are seeing Jenn off to it around 6:30. I should be asleep by now, but I have papers to write.
More on life later.
(Honestly, I probably won't really post until after this semester is over with, about 3 1/2 weeks. Then, I'm all words.)
current mood:  cold

I'm so very obviously not going to get anymore homework done tonight, and yet still I sit here. If I'm not homeworking, I should be in bed. But I'm beating myself up mentally about not having done more homework.
Bah.
I've been awake since 8:30 this morning.

Am sleepy. Am happy. Had a very productive week, of which I will type more about later. I think it's time for a crossword and bed.

1:30 am - I should start a cooking journal...
|
But I'm lazy.
So, I got most of my To-do list done, which is exciting, especially considering how much I had already gotten done before I wrote that entry. But this entry isn't about that.
This entry is about food.
I made this soup last night that was, sorry for the conceit, FANTASTIC! I have been craving mexican food since going to Santa Fe earlier this week, so I decided to try some new stuff while Mike was gone, in case it sucked.
The soup was chicken that I had cut up into small pieces, pan seared, and simmered in red enchilada sauce with garlic, taco seasoning, and salsa seasoning. I sauteed a vidalia onion (chopped), 1 jalapeno, and an anaheim pepper in garlic and olive oil, lightly, and threw all of that in a pot with chicken broth, more of the aforementioned seasonings, and a little salt and pepper. After the chicken was fairly marinated in the enchilada sauce, I added it to the broth, making sure a little bit of the enchilada sauce got in the broth, too. I threw in a can of green chiles, brought the soup to a boil, and simmered for almost an hour. Near the end, I threw in some potato gnocchi, and 3 minutes later, VOILA!
I was so worried it was going to suck. It was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
Today, I chopped the leftover vidalia onion, mixed it with another can of green chiles and some mixed, shredded cheese, and wrapped the mixture in corn tortillas, microwaved, and topped with green chile enchilada sauce and nuked that, too. Gooooood dinner.
I'm all about the mexican food. So, yeah...I should start a cooking journal to oohhh and aahhh over food there, but I'm too lazy tonight. Sorry guys!

You know what would be so amazing? Being able to go to sleep before 8a.m. for the first time in three weeks!!!
I am so (sadly) not kidding.
I even bought sleeping pills, but I didn't want to take them tonight because I have to be up and doing stuff early(er than usual) tomorrow, so I didn't want to be groggy, but if I can't sleep, I can't fucking wake up before 2p.m., I'll tell you that much!!!
Grrr...

I'm barely eating again, and I'm back into workaholic mode, even pissing off roommates and the boy in order to pick up a shift. I've worked almost 40 hours in 3 days, and I still have 2 more closing shifts before I have a day off.
I obviously will never learn.
P.S. I did make straight A's. 4.0 for the first semester. Let's see how long this lasts.

10:44 pm - Beautiful Boy (I hate this week.)
|
At 4p.m. today, Scamper was put to sleep. He was just too ill to go on, and it was time. That still doesn't make it hurt any less. It had been coming for awhile, but this week was a rapid deterioration, and my sister made this decision yesterday. I'm just glad I got to see him one last time, and that I got to be there to keep him calm as he was passing.
Rest In Peace to my beautiful baby boy.

You were the best kitty, and you will be missed terribly. You already are.

|
yesterday (the 1st), i spent the day with family, roommates, and the boy.
today, i spent the day cleaning the hell out of my room, getting drunk with coworkers at our christmas party, and eating fast food while checking my email.
so far, so good.

this is extremely random, and extremely short, but we have been having problems with our refrigerator and had talked to the apartment complex about it to see what could be done. everything we had in our fridge spoiled and we had to throw it out (as it said i was doing in the last entry). the maintenance men came this morning, took a look at it, and told us they were buying a new one from GE for us and it should be here on thursday. YAY for sparkly new fridge that no one had ever used before and is devoid of previous-owner germs!
on another note, jenn is going to the complex manager tomorrow to ask if we can get a credit or a certificate for 75$ worth of spoiled food. *crosses fingers*

today was one of those days where you want to just take all the stupid people of the world out to a large, isolated island and let them fend for themselves. never to hear from them again.

So far today, i have gone to the new apartment, moved some stuff in, and done some paperwork. now, on to the housewife life of hell:
Why I Would Hate Being a Housewife By Maggieblue
I did some major grocery shopping to get all the supplies to make the pot roast, potatoes and brussel sprouts. I ran home, unloaded the car, put away all the cold stuff, started the dishwasher, put on some laundry and am now taking a 5 minute smoke break and writing this out. Next up:
Make the pot roast, cut all the veggies up, season the roast, and put it in the oven
Peel the rest of the potatoes, while I'm at it
Rinse the laundry
Quick shower
Put laundry in dryer, and put on a new load
Unload dishwasher and put potatoes on to boil
Get everything else ready to go so i won't be freaking out last minute
Rinse new set of laundry and put it in the dryer...and put on another load
Start making potatoes
Start steaming brussel sprouts
Pay insane amounts of attention to potatoes from hell
Run around like a madwoman finishing everything else up
Get roast out of oven
Try to look halfway decent
Have nice dinner waiting for trumble when he gets home
MORE FUCKING LAUNDRY!
Clean up kitchen from mess i made and put all leftovers away for later
after that, i will sit on my ass the rest of the night and try to get some decent sleep for once. i have to work tomorrow instead of having the day off, so i have to get all of this done today. fiddlesticks.

just writing this out to feel fabulous...it's so not important in any way.
my to-do list for work tonight (with what i got done crossed out, obviously):
*wipe down beer taps
*wipe down beer coolers (outside only, for today)
*clean mirror
*wipe down every bottle, optic and riser in building
*run napkin dispensers through dishwasher and restock
*wipe down shelves
*re-foil shelves i never got around to last week
now, this may not sound like a lot, but put all of this together (minus customer interruptions), and this is a good 4 hours of work. it took me a little over 5 hours, and we didn't make any money since everyone partied last night, but i feel so good about myself right now. so much so, that when i go to pick up my check tomorrow, i'm going to give vince a nice earful of just how wonderful i am.
tooting my own horn, because by God, no one else is going to.
more updates when i've had some sleep.

today was just one of those days where you can't help but think, "why did i even bother getting out of bed?"
and with that, i'm getting back in bed. to sleep. perchance, to dream. and all that nonsense.

there is absolutely no point to this entry at all, because lord knows i'm not going to update right now. but i thought it was noteworthy that i was in an insanely good mood tonight. and for no reason. i was just that damned happy. it was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l. i can't explain it, and i won't even try. i was just in a really good mood, and that's worth mentioning to me. especially after the past 2 months.
and that is all. bedtime now.
current mood:  bouncy
