So after deciding that I was going to stay here for thanksgiving and finding out who else was going to be in the area we decided to hold thanksgiving in our apartment. Because I like to cook I offered to cook the meal myself. I'm really excited and have been for the last few weeks but now that its here the excitement is a bit stronger but there is ( Read more... )

So last night we went out to celebrate JMH's birthday (which was on wednesday). I got to meet some of his friends and see some friend's of mine that i haven't seen in a while plus introduce Jym to some of them (Mike had already met him). So we started at the Front Page where we had dinner and then we went to buffalo billiards where we drank and ( Read more... )

So cheesecake cupcakes come out if you make them plain but if you add jam to make them swirl cheesecake cupcakes they sink... I wonder why that is? I haven't figured it out yet but I made cheesecake cupcakes tonight and they look ok more or less (well the plain ones). Jym and I are going to go to the park tonight in a little while. We used to go at ( Read more... )

So I'm sure many of you are aware that many women are at war with Sugar. We know we shouldn't have a lot of it but it tastes soo good. Normally I don't have any issues not eating sweets and more or less eating healthy but every so often the battle must be waged and today it was and in the end I lost. There were donuts and cookies and candies all ( Read more... )

So last night was National Drunken WRiting Night. While I did not drink or write it was a good night nonetheless with lots of laughter and some drunkenness around the room anyways. We came to the conclusion earlier in the evening that jym is very very sweet but not very romantic which is subsequently ok with me. He admitted it too (this was after ( Read more... )

As much as I enjoy writing I can't always think of anything good to write. I call it a perpetual writers block that has lasted about 4 years now. At one point I used to write a lot and had some good stuff going but then my computer crashed and I lost everything. I never really got back into writing as much as i did then. Maybe someday my writers ( Read more... )

So i've decided to try and post on a fairly regular basis but I don't always have a lot to say. So my all day meeting that was scheduled for today at work got moved to Tuesday which kinda sucks but at the same time I suppose its a good thing too as I got a lot of work done today. But the basis for my actual post was something I noticed on my way ( Read more... )

So being in Illinois training for work and taking one of my vacation the friday before I haven't been at work for about 6 days. This morning I got into work around my normal time of 7:30am (a little later than normal but not much) and already in the office are Matt and Jim. I say good morning and Matt looks up and says, "Thank god you're back.... I ( Read more... )

So it's Sunday night and I've just gotten home from the coffee shop. Yes I've picked up a second job and its not for the reasons that most people think. Part of the reason is because I'm not sure what to do with the extra time I have so instead of becoming a workaholic at my first job (not that I'm not prone to that as many of you know) I have ( Read more... )

SO I normally pride myself on my cooking but I have decided today that I hate the oven in our apartment... I turned it on what the dial said was 350 degrees. I put the banana bread that I made (from scratch no less) and went to play on the computer. I started to smell something burning and I went to check on the banana bread and opened the oven and ( Read more... )
