It has been a few years since I've gotten to spend Easter with my family. Last week I started thinking about how nice it would be to be back home eating food that I did not have to cook. Finding a decent flight was not easy since they are all so expensive. Luckily I found a way around this by taking a red eye the night before Good Friday. That day ( Read more... )

I love Jamaican food. I am even craving it right now. Last week some coworkers and I headed to the Banana Hut, this tiny little place with three tables and a huge grill. Jamaican jerk and curry is amazing. They use scotch bonnet hot peppers. For 6 bucks I got curried chicken, rice with peas, a few platanos (fried banana or plantains, can't remember ( Read more... )

I hope I'm not as boring as my journal leads one to believe. Perhaps I am. I stayed at work late today and I'm exhausted. Since I'm feeling lazy I'm just sitting in bed watching classic movies. I saw "Rear Window". So good. Grace Kelly was amazingly beautiful. She was like the human version of a butterfly, one of those bright pretty ones that goes ( Read more... )

 This weekend I was getting over a cold so I stayed in. I also discovered that I love CVS. I went to go pick up my bc last week and saw their display of all the autumn decorations. The seasonal spirit hit me I guess and I bought a few things. Tiny fake pumpkins and a bigger felt pumpkin. After I saw how they looked in my place I looked for any ( Read more... )

Today I finally did it. I went shopping. I've needed to for a while since losing weight and looking tired as hell just wasn't doing it for me anymore. I have a nice pair of dark circles under my eyes so I went to get some under eye concealer. The girl was helpful but she kept pushing me to buy some eye cream. No thanks. And then she claimed I look ( Read more... )

So Easter came and went. I had high hopes of going to Boston Market for some ham and macaroni & cheese but that did not work out since Jon and I couldn't actually find one. I guess when google maps calls a listing unverified they really mean "haha we are just fucking with you". Oh well. We went to some Mexican place instead. Not really my choice ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what the hell I am doing. I moved so far away from home. I thought about making Easter dinner for myself on Sunday and then realized I can't be bothered. Not that I'm particularly lazy, it just would be odd. This will be the first Easter I'm not home for. I miss my family. My Dad's birthday is the 10th and as usual I have no idea ( Read more... )

I'm baking a cake because I don't know what else to do. In of my of bolder moments I gave up sweets and soda for lent (does cake batter count?.... damn) but it's in the oven and I've got plans involving sprinkles ( Read more... )
