Thanksgiving

2 Comments

Tomorrow, as I’m sure many of you know, is Thanksgiving.

If you’ve been reading my blog then you know that I will just be cooking for one person besides myself. This will also be my first year when I cook everything by myself. All by my lonesome!! I’ve made everything (well except the greenbeans..) before, on separate occasions over the years. But this year, It’s all me!! I’m excited if you can’t tell.

Because I am so excited I decided I would share with you my menu! And what is prepped is in italic. oo0000oooOoooOoooo

11lb Turkey, thawed
Deviled Eggs, boiled
Pomento Spread + Celery, celery is cleaned and cut
Ritz Crackers + Salmon Cream Cheese, easy.. I’ve eaten half of it already. 😡
Stuffing
Rolls, buttered, in pan, ready to raise
Mashed Potatoes, potatoes are waiting to be skinned in their pot.
Grilled Garlic Greenbeans, greenbeans are in their can, waiting to be unleashed!!1
Gravy, mine is coming from a jar.
Pumpkin Pie, baked it today and coolwhip comes pre-made.

Edit: Cranberries!! (Thanks Tony 😀 )

When it’s all laid out like that I feel like I’m missing something. Also I feel like I’m not making enough food, but then I remember I’m only feeding Mike and myself. So I think that is not too bad of a line up for my first solo Thanksgiving. A little cheating here and there, but that’s okay. It’s going to be good I think.

No.

I KNOW IT WILL BE GOOD.

I will take pictures, or video’s, or something. Leave a comment and vote. Hahaha.

Wedding and a Blizzard

Leave a comment

Well, I’m not sure if you watch the news.. and if you do, I don’t know if you saw the monstrosity of a storm that hit the NW. The wedding went good. We decided to leave Monday instead of Sunday night so that we wouldn’t be driving at night all tired. Well, we got snowed out of Tacoma. We left on Monday and made it to Kelso, Wa (About halfway home) and realized there was no way we were going to make it home. We didn’t bring our chains and so we turned around and went back to Troutdale.

We waited around all day Tuesday because Mikes’ friend Brandon was going to come to our house for Thanksgiving. He had a physical therapy appointment at 2:30 that he had to go to and then after that he said he would be ready to leave.

4pm rolls around, we pick him up. And now suddenly he decides he doesn’t want to go. Well that’s nice. We’re so happy we got you a ride to PT. Now we get to drive home, in the dark, with crap weather.

We went and bought chains while Brandon was at PT and prepared to leave, so after his appointment we left. Pissed off, but happy to be going home. We got home at 8pm last night. I’m so happy to be home.

Here’s pics! Continue reading →

Weekend Schmeekend

Leave a comment

So in about 30 minutes Mike and I are going to leave Tacoma and head to Troutdale, Oregon. There’s a wedding we’re attending tomorrow.. not sure if we’re sleeping over Sunday night as well. Probably.

I have a dress and heels. This is going to be interesting. Yes, I charged my camera, so you will get to see. This is not something that happens often and to be honest I’m surprised that this is happening twice within a 30 day period. Halloween AND November? Hot damn.

I think we entered some kind of bizarro-land alternate universe.

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I’ll sell them for a dollar

They’re worth so much more after I’m a goner.

I was looking through all my photo albums and became a bit overwhelmed with my emotions. I miss my friends. Some more than others but I miss them none the less. I feel very lost. Helpless almost. I don’t have a job, and I expected to already have one by now. I really can’t spin poi because the weather is so disagreeable. If it’s not the temperature, it’s the wind.

I should be painting but I can’t find any inspiration for an illustration. What would I paint? What should I be taking pictures of? I feel like I’m letting myself go.

I miss my Father a lot too. I didn’t realize how much of a pillar he had turned into for me.

The life of sobriety is uneventful. Like, way uneventful. Hah.

So yeah that’s it.

Enjoy this. [Listen]

Brrrrrr!

It is fucking COLD here. Surprise surprise.. I mean, I knew it was going to be cold here but.. I don’t know, I guess I didn’t wrap my mind around how cold. It’s not cold as I knew it (read: klamath falls. high elevation. very dry.) This is windy, wet, flash flood fucking terrible cold.

So there’s that…
