Don't mind me, just venting

Rodrigo gets into things...its what he does. Today, after I left for work, Rodrigo got into a box of pancake mix. It was everywhere, and unfortunately my roommate is the one who had to deal with it. She swept up what she could before she had to rush off to work. I got home around 730, sweaty and tired from the gym, to find what was left of the caked on mess. No problem, Rod is my responsibility and I'm grateful that she did what she could.

Tonight when she got home, she was in a horrible mood and wouldnt stop complaining about the incident.

Her dog has been sick and, because she has a boyfriend (who I recently accidentally saw naked. ew), she cannot be bothered to clean up the throw up, which has been daily, and really really gross. I have been the one mopping up puke. Because Marley and Rodrigo are best friends, Rod has caught this stomach virus and is now throwing up, alot.

Instead of thanking me for taking care of her dog (she's spent the night at home ONCE in the last week) and sympathizing with our poor, sick puppies, she's hiding in her room, irritated.

If anyone's aloud to be irritated, its me.

No, this post does not make me depressed, if anyone in particular is wondering.

The greatest thing EVER

I found this awesome site! Its a place where you can watch any movie, tv show, etc for FREE!! I checked a couple shows/movies out and it was just like watching them on the tv. The movie 300 was on there, it was the only one I noticed with a banner at the bottom, but it was still viewable.

Check it out!

Wax on. Wax off

Helpful Hint:


To remove cooled wax from clothes, furniture, floors, etc, simply place 2 layers of papertowel over hardened wax and iron on highest setting until wax has been heated and absorbed by papertowels:)

um, nice legs

Every morning is the same. Exhausted, lifeless I awake to the sound of ring #10 leaking out of my white chocolate phone. It's musical, I thought maybe, just maybe a light, a whimsical tune would be better than the universally annoying beep beeep beep that normally accompanies the snooze button. I snooze, I admit it. I will not apologize for the extra 25 minutes of sleep that I squeeze out of the quickly escaping night.

Tuesday morning I snoozed. I reasoned, in my unconscious state, that if I sacrificed my morning shower, I could sleep in until 630 and still have exactly enough time to get ready for work. So, at 630 I wake up, dazed and a little confused. I walk towards the kitchen to let Rodrigo out, and to my surprise there is my roommates NAKED boyfriend!!!

Seriously?!

No. Really?!

You're right, a naked glass-of-water run is TOTALLY excusable. No question. However, a naked stare-out-the-window-because-I -feel-like-it is a little alarming to the roommate who's used to stumbling through the house half asleep ALL BY HERSELF.

Needless to say, I keep my robe clutched tightly closed as I ease myself into the day.

Seriously?

I need to get it under control. The waterworks keep coming out of nowhere. Case(s) in poing:

Last night during Gilmore Girls when Lane asked Rory to be her "Lorelei Gilmore" I sobbed

Tonight during Will and Grace when Grace's daughter and Will's son met I cried

Tonight during American Idol when a girl sang "shut up and sing" by the Dixie Chicks- welled up

Last night during A.I when some guy dedicated a song to his grandma- welled up

I was also in a really bad mood all of a sudden when I got home tonight and I cried earlier this week too! WTF

No, its not pms..its def hormonal, but pms is not my m.o

So much has happened...

I'll start with the Soup Swap:

Awesomeness. Around 10 people showed up, we laughed, drank champagne cosmopolitans, we played Cranium, and swapped soup. There was Gumbo, Ginger Yam, Squash, Cream of Pot, Cream of Tomato Basil, Cream of Brocoli, Borsch, and a few others. YUMMY!

I've got a fabulous new job. I'm the transportaion coordinator for Road Rebel. I know, I just can't get away from the road. Sort of symbolic, me be a wayward traveler and such. The company is awesome, I really have a good feeling about it. I was waiting for the right job, one where I truly enjoyed going to work. I see a bright future at road rebel.

And the most important:

Scarlett Eve Valdes was born on Saturday, Feb 17. She's amazing. I've had baby fever for awhile now, it just intesified 10 fold. I'm definately feeling the pressure, brought on by society, my family, and my body, to have a baby.

Sometimes I really am impressed with myself

I can't really take all the credit, I got the recipe off soupcache.com. I altered the recipe slightly to make it my own, but the original idea, sadly, is not mine.

Yam-Ginger soup

4 large yams, diced
4 red potatos, quartered
1 squash (any variety will do)
olive oil
1 yellow onion
3 cloves of garlic
approx 4 knodules of ginger root (pressed)
approx 2tbs white sugar (brown would be good, too)
2tbs salt
1tbs pepper
6cups of water

Slice squash in 1/2, place on cookie sheet face down, with about 2tbs olive oil, lightly salted. bake @350 for 40 min.
In large metal pot, sautee onions, garlic and ginger in olive oil.
Add water, potato, yams, boil until soft.
Strain yams and potato and puree in food processor until mush. Do same with baked squash.
Place all ingredients back in pot, continue to boil until all ingredients are blended.
Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
May need additional water depending how thick you want it.

SO YUMMY
