Domestic Stalker Machine
Oct. 9th, 2005 08:23 pmI currently have chili simmering in the crock pot and whites (with bleach!) spinning in the washing machine. Clearly I am a DOMESTIC MACHINE!!
Tomorrow is a work day for me, although it is something under the guise of "staff retreat" and I suppose it is our annual "get to know your coworkers since 50% of them are new" day. Gotta love high turnover in the workplace, where my second annual retreat clearly makes me senior staff. I do believe the event is a scavenger hunt and potluck meal. I'm excited about the meal but not so much the scavenger part, mostly because my boss likes to pick teams so we all "get to know each other" and I'd really like to spend my holiday with my friends if I can't spend it in my pajamas.
The best part of my chili crock pot recipe is the beer... something about pouring the beer in and stirring it amongst the spicy seasonings really appeals to my sense of smell. I've expanded and added ground turkey (in lieu of just beans, though my veggie coworkers will not be pleased) and a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles. It sure looks a lot heartier, though I hope all of the extras won't zap the spice out. Will have to check later.
The wedding went quite well yesterday, although it poured and the outdoor wedding was moved inside. A good time was had by all and Jen was the CONVERSATION KILLER with the same jackhole with whom I was the conversation killer at Natalie's bridal shower. This time Jackhole made a blatantly homophobic "joke" about Elton John to one of the other guys at our table in front of me and Jen. I guess I made some sort of snide noise because she asked me what he said, I said, "Just some homophobic remark," and when she glared, "What did you say?" at him he really clammed up and stammered something about 'some stupid joke.' Ha ha ha. Good times with the high school classmates.
I saw George, my new sekrit boylove, and Jen made the BIG MISTAKE of telling him that I promptly stalked him on the internet Friday night after we met. Now the whole friggin' family calls me "George's stalker" and made little teasing remarks about how I should ask him to dance and stuff. Razzafrazza. I think I'm going to start e-mailing him crazy SWF pictures of me to really lay it on thick. ;)
We spent the night in RI so we could do some attic cleaning this morning in anticipation of the new Dumpster Days (Oct. 22 and 23). We bagged about 20 bags of loose junk to make for easier disposal. There is a veritable f*ckton of stuff up there, including newspapers from when JF Kennedy was shot.
Thanks to everyone who called my cell. <3 <3 <3
