Hello everyone in PC land. I should be starting some needed research on Gestalt therapy but I have decided that I deserve a few hours of quiet and relaxation. Today was interested and somewhat stressful. My shop's annual Thanksgiving potluck was today, A civilian and I were tasked to coordinate this event, we normally have about 80 in attendance and seems that we had about that this year. The day turned out nice but started off very rocky.
I woke up around 4:30 to cook biscuits, crescent rolls, and baked macaroni. When I get to work I am told that four of the turkeys are still frozen!! In the shop we always deep fry turkeys for thanksgiving and putting a frozen turkey into oil is a big no no. OK now people who know me are going to ask, "Marie you are a vegetarian why are they asking you about turkeys?". Well.... I was not informed that turkeys take at least 6 days to defrost in the fridge and the turkeys in our fridge at work had only been in there 3 days. Well now I know this fact, it is useless to me due to the fact that I don't eat turkey, but I will not make the same mistake next time. The turkeys were thawed by some of the guys and turkey lovers were ensured they had their deep fried turkey.
Despite the turkey issue, everything else came out relatively okay, other than my baked macaroni. My baked macaroni was horrible, I am not being humble when I say this. I followed the recipe exactly and it was not at all what I thought it was going to be! I wanted that fluffy macaroni cassorole, I ended up with crunchy noodles with somewhat cheesy top. Maybe there is a different between baked macaroni and macaroni cassorole? I am not sure but I will not be making that ever again.
On a postive note, my dump cake was eaten all up and someone even asked me how to make it! This was a recipe my mom told me about that I loveeeeee. Of course my momma has always rocked ;) ...anyways....I did manage to save some for Matt because he could not attend. :)
So now I am relaxing, trying to encourage myself to start work. I have another potluck tomorrow but luckily I just have to show up with a 12 pack of soda...YAY no managing it! I will watch other people pull their heads handling that one :)
Well I am off to do some research and write.

Long time..
Well its been a while since I posted ...yep I am alive..I have just been busy busy busy.
Everything is going well. My birthday was last week and I got to go to the MAC store (YAY!!!). I don't often get a chance to shop there but I was soooo excited!!! I got four eyeshadows (gesso, retrospeck, beauty marked, and expensive pink) These are my first real eyeshadows from MAC. (I have a mineral duo but I never use it) I now know why alot of people only use MAC eyeshadow, they are really pigmented and come in so many colors! Oh I almost forgot I also got Urban Decay book of shadows 2 for my birthday too. Of course Urban Decay rocks and I love this palet, the little book that is included is kinda blah and almost a waste of paper but the eyeshadows rocks. This is my first experience with their 24/7 eyeliner and I love it! I got a kick ass penticle box from my Sis-in-law and some other cool stuff too.
Although I do not enjoy birthdays I love everyone in my family and my new family for thinking of me. It always feels good when someone remembers days such as a birthday, even a phone call or email saying, "hey we love you" makes my world bright and beautiful.
I wish everything in the last two weeks was fun but school is still in so I am bombarded with homework. I also need to do my CDCs, I have barely touched them because of school work and they are due on the 21st ahhh. I will get them done somehow but I don't think I will be getting wonderful scores on the test, oh well.
Ahh I almost forgot my favorite part of my birthday! My husband baked me my favorite cake! This was like icing on the cake with everything else that happened. (haha punny aye?) I did demand to do the icing but that was because I like to sneak tastes! So overall the past two weeks have been both amazing and blah but that makes things fun! Well im off for more homework!! TTFN
