Gourmet I am not.
Sep. 20th, 2004 06:33 pmI suppose I should make something for dinner. I was going to have my leftovers from my dinner with nails, but Jen ate them this morning... so I need a plan b. Since I'm not much of a chef, perhaps plan b will involve macaroni and cheese. Or spaghetti. Normally I would just make a sandwich but I am not feeling very sandwichy. (How does one feel sandwichy, really?)
One of my clients today made me laugh so hard in inappropriate ways, which made me miss Coworker Sarah, for she is the queen of inappropriate. (Tickle THIS Elmo.) I was playing with this little boy and he threw all of my crayons, and his mom said, "I'm gonna whack you just as soon as Jude leaves." I suppose this is only funny because she's not really going to whack him, but it cracked me up anyway. (Besides, if she really was going to knock her kid around, she wouldn't go bragging about it.) I really like this family, although they think I'm some nutty, intellectual White girl or whatever. Although Mom told me today that she doesn't have a car seat and she just puts the kid in the car and I about had a heart attack. I promptly told her to call her community health center and tell them she needs a car seat. They should be able to get her one on the cheap. GAH! USE CAR SEATS, PEOPLE!!
I had a really sweet note on my computer when I got home from work. My Jennifer is the best ever and it really bothers me that we've had such a rocky time since we arrived here. I know that I've been incredibly moody which is not helping in the slightest. I just feel so bad. Yesterday I was so sad because I've always had this plan of throwing her a huge party for her 30th birthday next month, and I just don't know how I'll work that out here. I've been planning this for nearly a year, so in my mind it always involved having a big crazy party with the Columbus crew, lots of cake, and lots of silly pictures in bathtubs. Aah well. I'm sure I'll think of something, because you only turn 30 once! :)
We actually looked at airline tickets to Columbus for our birthday, but the cheapest I could find was like $350 for both of us for the weekend (and I forget what shady airline that was on) and we just can't really pull it off. Aah well. I suppose we should be responsible and save the money and all of that.
I did not drink enough liquids today. That is bad. My mouth is parched and I've already had a million glasses of water. I have that tacky taste/feeling in my mouth. I just hope I'm not getting sick. Aah well. Time to put some food together in a bowl so I can watch Jeopardy! I wish Ken Jennings would LOSE ALREADY. I can't stand his smug little mug!
