I picked up cooking spray, bread, margarine, fish, ground turkey, chops, cans of beef stew on deep discount, pasta, sauce, koolaid, hairspray and a bunch of other ( Read more... )

     Yesterday was good. Went to Saturday social at Green Door. We were supposed to watch a DVD, but no one could get the player to work. So we just listened to hip hop. I had lunch there for 50c. Sure it was the week's leftovers, warmed, but it was good and cheap. Spaghetti with sauce, Fried chicken and salad with cubed turkey in it and lemonade. ( Read more... )

     I registered yesterday for my MS office class at ByteBack. ByteBack is a computer literacy organization here in DC, They charge a sliding scale for their classes, but since i am unemployed and with GreenDoor, the classes, and any other classes I want to take are free, and i get a refurbished computer if i show up to every class, which i will.

     Finally baked hamentashen yesterday. Three days after purim. I made mostly blueberry ones and a few apricot ones, about 2 dozen. Meant to make more, but they are very labor intensive. I got a little burned on my finger due to some hot, errant apricot jam. I have 1/2 of the dough base left, which i am saving in the freezer for the fruit ( Read more... )

     Last night I went to BeBar for the Drag and gurly show. Bebar is under new management with a fresh bunch of investors. They did not change the decor,or the events thank goodness. But now drinks are even cheaper. Instead of 6 dollar a drink happy hours, it is now 3 dollars a drink- and that includes the new champagne cocktail menu. A drink, ( Read more... )

     After going into the wayback machine of my Livejournal, I realize that I have so much more now than I had a few years ago. Sure money is tight now, but it is not too bad. I would take this life over what I had in NYC. Not that I don't miss my friends there, but we had to leave for greener pastures. So now for the +20 list of thankfulness ( Read more... )

     Went to Megilla reading last night at the 6th and I Historic synagogue. It was an explanatory service, meaning that before every chapter, the rabbi explained everything. It was separate seating, which put Jase of a little. There was a party after, and in true Purim Style, we got Sauced, thrunk, fershlozzled. I thought 2 shots plus wine and ( Read more... )

     Today I had some time to kill, so I read my entries from 2004-2007. I realize that I am now incredibly blessed. I remember all the complaining i did while we lived with Gramps, The Twatwaffle and the Crotchdroplet. I get to eat whatever i like, when I like. Watch whatever i like, not worry about when i can finally pee. Go wherever I want, ( Read more... )

    Michael and Sasha had an extra ticket to the antique show, so they took me along. I absolutely loved it. My favorite pieces were the silverware. the Victorians had a fork or implement  for everything. The show was huge. About halsway through, we decided that we were done and Micael said, yeah we got our culture for the day. It is always good to ( Read more... )
