TGIF

11-30-12

 

I very rarely buy lattes any more. Too expensive and too not-good-for-you. However. It is raining like crazy today. The wind is vicious. I'm exhuasted from working until 8pm then doing homework until midnight and the fact that lately I wake up for at least an hour every morning around 2am (wtf!).

 

And it's Friday. And it's payday.

 

So I decided to splurge and treat myself to a double-tall gingerbread latte at Sbux today. It was everything I'd hoped for.

And their holiday cups are just too adorable.

 

The end.

I took an online webinar training today that lasted from 8am - 2pm. However, I often find the 'practice times' in these trainings to be far too long and unnecessary. So...I clean. Today I decided I needed to take everything out of the fridge and thoroughly clean all the shelves etc. Fortunately I decided to start this right before the 1 hour lunch break they gave us. And I don't think my fridge has ever been this clean. It is beautiful and I felt QUITE satisfied putting everything back in, organized, and fresh. Huzzah!

VOTE!

And now for something completely different.

Check out this really great contest that my place of employment is up for. We made it into the top 7 which means we will for sure receive $2,000.00 (awesome!) - but if we get enough votes to be #1 out of those 7 we will win $10,000.00.

 

That's $10,000.00 to help build safe, decent, affordable homes for hard-working families in the Bay Area, and $10,000.00 to help create community, and safe neighborhoods that we all can be proud of.

 

If you don't know much about our work, check out our website (it's new and shiny!).

 

And please vote! You can vote as many times as you want until December 10th, so vote now, vote often! :)

 

And just in case I didn't link it enough times, you can vote here ;)

 

THANKS!!!!

Christmas Time Fo' Realz

Officially Christmas means officially Christmas party time. Which means I must try my hand at homemade eggnog once again. It needs to age for at least a week and has that entire bottle of Jim Beam in it. Plus a little rum and brandy thrown in for good measure. We'll see how it turns out!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!!

So my brother has commandeered my camera so these are all the pics I have from Thanksgiving (on my phone). But here is a pic of my pumpkin pie (best one yet!) and the Butterfinger pie I made for Jonathan's birthday (which was on Thanksgiving this year). YUM!
