Fruit
Went in for an interview at the fruit place today. It went really well and I met with the recruiter and one of the managers. The thing that is still sticking with me, besides a general good feeling about the interview - was their asking me if I would be willing to move or travel. There are no immediate openings in management at this time, but I do think there is one in Buffalo. Is moving to NYC and interviewing for a job here a ticket back to Buffalo? Just random thoughts but I need to flush them out so they won't clog my brain the rest of the week. I miss my friend. She knows who she is. I still can NOT believe I missed you. I miss you lots. Current Mood:  optimistic |

Carrie Fisher and friends
Chris and I went to see Carrie Fisher's one woman play "Wishful Drinking" last night in NJ. It was super funny and very entertaining. I highly recommend it to anyone. It was very fun. Amanda (aka Friend) is hoping to get out of Seattle, so I am pulling for her there. Myxy in Rochester has things going his way.... finally. Bravo to you sir! My friend Krissie has not been online in a bit. I hope I can chat with her at some point. |

May 2010
So... I have been neglecting my LJ friends and family. Amanda - I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. That sucks. Mytzle - you need to block that chick. Tomorrow I am in my first real 5K. I am running in some Oprah thing in Manhattan. I know I am going to have to drive in and deal with parking. Why does this freak me out as much as it does? Dont get me wrong.... I love driving and have no issues with Manhattan drivers (cabs included) but I HATE HATE HATE finding parking. christ. On another note... I went to home depot today and picked up some flowers for the front. It is super windy out and the garbage cans are being blown around the street. I should have waited until tomorrow to plant them. But this way they will realize it is a tough life in the hood. lol. Current Mood:  restless |

Something Wicked This Way Comes... poem
My friend Ramon sent this to me as we talked about the "good old days" of the 90s and such. Crystal water turns to dark Where ere it's presence leaves it's mark And boiling currents pound like drums When something wicked this way comes... A presence dark invades the fair And gives the horses ample scare Chaos rains and panic fills the air When something wicked this way comes... Ill winds mark it's fearsome flight, And autumn branches creak with fright. The landscape turns to ashen crumbs, When something wicked this way comes... Flowers bloom as black as night Removing color from your sight Nightmarish vines block your way Thorns reach out to catch their prey And by the pricking of your thumbs Realize that their poison numbs From frightful blooms, rank odors seep Bats & beasties fly & creep 'Cross this evil land, ill winds blow Despite the darkness, mushrooms glow All will rot & decompose For something wicked this way grows...

Hockey - USA V Canada & Chicken Wing Soup Recipe
Big win for the USA. The announcer keeps talking about how "canadian beer will make it all better," and he is name dropping Labatts. Oh well. I upped my recipe for Chicken Wing soup. if you can't find it.... here it is: Chicken Wing Soup Ingredients: 2 or 3 stalks of celery - chopped 1 carrot shredded 1 medium Vidalia onion diced ¼ cup of flour 1 32oz box of chicken stock 2-3 cups of cooked shredded chicken (I soak this in franks hot sauce, in addition to the 4oz) 4oz bottle of hot sauce (to taste) 4oz of shredded cheddar cheese 1 pint of light cream or 1/2 pint cream and 8 oz milk ¼ cup of butter Melt the butter in a stockpot, add the celery, carrots, and onions. Cook until tender. Salt and pepper. Add the flour and coat the vegetables. Add the chicken stock and continue stirring until the sauce begins to thicken and all flour lumps are dissolved. Add the chicken, and light cream and continue stirring to combine the cream. Turn heat higher up to almost a boil. Add the hot sauce, and cheddar cheese when the mixture is warm…the cheese will help thicken the soup as well. The original recipe called for 8 oz of hot sauce and 8 oz of cheddar cheese so use more if you'd like. Sometimes I use heavy cream instead of the light cream/milk combo. |

ONE WEEK! And then he is OUTTA HERE! Can NOT wait! On another note... I love me some curling. I can not watch it enough. People thought it was "funny" that I talk about it at work, but as a Western New Yorker.... what better way is there to connect with my Canadian brethren than that?? huh? there is NONE. I am making Buffalo Chicken Soup today. It is yummy and makes me happy. |

Valentine's Day Recap knocked out at the knee caps
So.... Chris is on this "Anti Valentines day" kick.... which I can see.... in some respects. A few weeks back she mentions that she saw some DVD or book that I talked about and that "VD is coming up and .....". So... it goes from "no present exchange" to "get your shit in order and soon." I picked up the DVD Megaset of the Kids in the Hall for her and a cool cardigan sweater with bowling stuff on the back. She is a big fan. What did I get? nothing. She went out shopping after work and said she found nothing but rain boots for her. Now... how does Justin fit into this?? Justin gets a message at 9 AM from his ex gf in Australia wishing him a happy valentines day and she proceeds to tell him how much she misses him. So.... fast forward to 5 PM. He tells me " I had no clue that today was VD" COME ON FUCKER you told me about the call... you twittered about it... you mention it on the face book and NOW you ask if we had any plans????? really???? Come on fucker.... christ. So.... I make a nice steak dinner and twice baked taters and he sits here making hamburger helper getting in my way. He had the balls to ask if he could have some steak.... and then.... then.... he leaves all of his dishes on the stove and shoves the rest in the sink and decides he is tired and wants to go to sleep early. 8 PM. Chris and I are watching a movie in the living room (where he is sleeping) and he just covers his head with the blanket. Chris and I stay up until 12 in the living room and then go to bed. He gets up and then flips on the tv, dirties up more dishes and stays up until 2 am. WHAT THE FUCK???? I AM SO OVER THIS SO OVER THIS Sometimes I just need to scream. Then this morning Ruby's bumps are reappearing on her nose. So chris was up Googling what it could be...... which is fun as it all leads to terminal stuff (or an allergy). No in between. FUN FUN FUN |

Beard Comb
"Have you seen my beard comb?" "Do I need to file taxes since I didnt earn anything last year?" "I wish you guys had a better blender (than the one that is messed up from the last time he used it) to make me milkshakes." "when you take out the garbage, don't forget about the bag with the chinese food I have near the can" 21 days until he is gone... i can NOT wait. He has taken over the area where our XMas tree was. I try to do my best to include him in stuff with us, but he is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY!!! NOR IS HE MY CHILD!!! Anywho... GRRRRRRRRR Current Mood:  annoyed |

Wednesday
Another mid week. thank the maker for short weeks. Justin is BACK again with us. He claims he is getting out by Feb 15th. We'll see. I have my doubts and reservations. Chris is pushing hard core to move back west. she thinks it is time to move back but we have no money and no job prospects to speak of. I have no issues with moving back, besides the crappy job situation and no place to live. I do NOT want to live with her parents and their cats and dogs and she doesn't want to live with my parents. WE are too old for that. I feel i need to lose some weight too. Chris lost a bunch of weight doing the weight watchers point system. I think I just need to run and cut down on the sodas. Stupid Pepsi and their throwback cans. |

Double Dipping

feelings in bottle
Sometimes I feel super duper numb..... I wish i could take certain feelings from my life and bottle them up to experience them at a later date. See where I was and where I have gone. I think we should look into this. I have to go to a wedding tomorrow in Connecticut for a co-worker. I really do not want to go, I would much rather sleep. Hello World! |
