One of the Meetup groups I joined this year visits different ethnic/international restaurants in town. This afternoon, I had lunch with the group at an Ethiopian restaurant in Old Colorado City. The food is designed to be eaten by hand using a spongy bread to pick it up. There were dishes with and without meat. I decided to try a vegetable combo ( Read more... )

According to the other guests at the Thanksgiving dinner, the "Yum Yum Corn" dish I made lived up to its name. I mixed the corn with cream cheese and butter, with a bit of garlic, sugar and parsley ( Read more... )

One of my old improv classmates was at last night's party. He asked me if I'd be interested in doing another "class reunion" show sometime. Even though I haven't done any improv in years, I'd like to perform again. The chicken potstickers I brought were quickly devoured, along with most of the other food. Before the party, I watched some of the ( Read more... )

"The best way to prepare butternut squash? Cube it..."
"Riiight! What's a cubit? Vooka-vooka-vooka!"I bought a package of potstickers to bring to the improv theater's pre-Thanksgiving party. At work, I wrote down a few things to put on my Christmas list. As with last year, I'll put them on an Amazon.com wish list to share with my dad and my brother ( Read more... )

The library where my Toastmasters meetings are held accidentally double-booked our usual meeting room today. After speaking to a few library staff members, our meeting moved downstairs to a smaller conference room. There won't be a meeting next Friday due to Thanksgiving. My local singles group is having a bowling meetup next Friday ( Read more... )

I saw my physician for a follow-up appointment on Monday. My pharmacy never called me to say my Prozac refill was ready, so I hadn't picked it up. The refill will be ready after 4 PM Tuesday. I'll see the physician again next month ( Read more... )

I need to submit my next time card before Thursday this week since the payroll office will be closed next week for the Thanksgiving break. I'll be doing a split shift today since my co-worker had an appointment during his regular shift. I'll work from 5-10 AM and 1-5 PM, with my co-worker covering the 10-1 part. I feel like I need a nap between ( Read more... )

I had planned to sign the paperwork for my Toastmasters club's new account Friday, but I forgot the credit union was closed for Veterans Day. I will try again on Monday.

I wanted to go to a singles meetup this afternoon. Unfortunately, my accounts are nearly drained until Monday or Tuesday. I was able to go to another meetup Thursday night, though.
