Suz Can Cook

I made myself some yummy sausage for breakfast this morning. I also had a banana and some orange juice. Last night I fried up some pierogies and ate them with sour cream. I did some dishes this morning, and got the Wii hooked up. So I am feeling pretty confident and productive right now.

I am trying to start working through Truth Or Dare by Starhawk now. I am having a hard time getting going today. It's a really great book though on different types of power and how people interact.

I also received a new Amazon gift card the other day. I am trying to decide what to buy. There are movies I want, Wii Games I want (Animal Crossing: City Folk!), and as always, books I want.

I saw the mailman come and put something in my box, I should put on some pants and go down to check.

Oh the first of the month

Having lovely day so far. I took my mom down to Hunter's Station, then stopped and got two beautiful thin slices of pizza from City Pizza in Tionesta. Then I went to visit my Aunt Cindy, and we hung out in the pool for a while. Going up to the farm tonight, will hopefully get to hear Austin play the violin again.

And I think something is wrong with the peach I am trying to eat... it tastes like it was injected with schnapps....

I might catch a quick nap before this evening. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Hindsight's 20/20

It's just occured to me that an ice cream cone and a taco for dinner are not going to mix well in my already agitated stomach. Of course, I didn't think of that until the first burp, which tasted of Piece of Cake ice cream (yellow cake flavored ice cream, swirled with chocolate frosting and impregnated with chunks of pound cake. My absolute favorite) with taco seasoning and beef.

Gross.

But I've already been told I'm obsessed with food today. I read in one of my books a long time ago that people who stop eating in a crisis are stupid. You will need all your strength to deal with the matter at hand, so what's the point in starving yourself? But I did do some fantastic eating 4th of July weekend. Started with dinner at the Old Library in Olean. I had the best French Onion Soup on earth, followed by a salad, then homemade potato gnocchi in alfredo sauce. I love their alfredo sauce so much I want to have sex with it. Or in it. I'm not entirely sure which. For dessert I had Peanut Butter Thunder cake, which is a chocolate layer cake, with peanut butter frosting, and peanut butter chips.

Then on Saturday, we went to Jess and Frosh's for a barbecue. Frosh grilled up hamburgers and hot dogs, and I got to have their macaroni salad, which is my favorite macaroni salad. They use mayo, tuna, eggs, and celery seed instead of celery. I don't like raw celery because of the stringiness factor.

I'm back at work today after 3 days off. It's kind of sad that I missed it. Well, not really. What I really miss when I am not here is the people. My Corolla is in the garage getting the boo boo on its butt fixed. I will hopefully have it back tomorrow afternoon. Harriet very nicely agreed to be Driving Miss Suzy today, she brought me to work and is picking me up tonight. I'll have the good ol' Tempo tomorrow.

Okay, off to work on a story for Alison Tyler's blog. This needs to be based on one of the cover girls for her alphabet series. I will probably go with the cover for F is for Fetish, since I have that one.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Cool Dream

I had a great dream about food this morning. First, I was at the premier of a Pirates of the Caribbean video game in New York City. Johnny Depp was there, and when we left the theater, I was munching on a big Rice Krispie treat. When we got outside, a street vendor selling frozen yogurt was giving everyone free treats because he was a big Johnny Depp fan. My frozen yogurt was purple, with green and purple dinosaur candy in it. They had two other flavors I remember seeing and wanting to try: Hispanic Giraffe and Turtle Tat. (like a turtle tattoo) Then Anthony Bourdain wanted me to come eat donuts with him at this festival in another part of town. He said he had stopped eating other donuts because these ones were so orgasmically good. We took a train and ate donuts.

I woke up drooling.

Happy Anniversary

Today is Jeff and I's 4th wedding anniversary. It is also our friend Adam's birthday. Tonight we made dinner together and watched TV. He got me a single red rose, with baby's breath. It is very pretty. After dinner I went to Tops to buy us treats. He got a pumpkin roll and I got a pint of Ben and Jerry's. I was thinking of going with World's Best Vanilla, but Tops didn't have it. I tried Dublin Mudslide, which was really good. Irish cream flavoured ice cream, with coffee fudge swirls.

We've started watching some new shows, NCIS and House are now on USA every night. I love House, how could you not love Hugh Laurie? NCIS is great, it has really neat characters. It's a crime drama with a military style twist. Think JAG with autopsies. My favorite character on the show is Abby. She's an adorable goth, who is a scientist and a very smart chick.




Good TV is good.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

More food

Today we went down West Hickory and my mom made steak, crab cakes, texas sheet cake, twice baked potatoes, garlic bread, and salad. The portions were not small.

Missed going to Ellicottville this morning as planned due to oversleeping. I'm excited that Halloween is Friday and Adam will be up next weekend. We can play Arkham Horror and carve pumpkins and it will be great.

I'm feeling tired now, might post more tomorrow, might not.

Making up for lost time, calorically speaking

I felt pretty crappy most of today. I slept like crap last night. I had one of those dreams where your teeth fall out. I realized it was a dream on about tooth number two, but I was too out of sorts to take control of the dream and go elsewhere.

I was nauseous all morning and into the afternoon, so I ate very sparingly.

That is until Jeff went to DQ and came back with a pumpkin pie blizzard and a mint oreo blizzard.

Now I feel nauseous again.

But my tastebuds are happy :-)

I dyed my hair tonight, we'll see how it turns out tomorrow after I wash it. I am fighting a losing battle against gray hairs and also against all the times I dyed it red. Now the red on the ends bleeds back through. But I did buy some new shampoo specifally for dyed hair, so hopefully it will help me keep the new color.

Going to bed at 10 tonight, and taking a Benadryl I want 8 solid hours and no screwed up dreams tonight.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Trying new things

I've been trying my hand at some writing lately. Maybe if I actually finish something that's more than 500 words, I'll actually let people I know read it.

We went to Erie PA on Saturday to go shopping with some friends. I had garlic shrimp scampi at Red Lobster and it was fantastic. I normally get the shrimp or crab alfredo and I always get too full too fast from the pasta. Then we went to Old Navy, Borders, Books Galore, Burlington Coat Factory, and Kohls. I got 2 Nora Roberts books, Starhawk's Novel, the Fifth Sacred Thing, a new suitI wanted to stop at Krispy Kreme, but the light wasn't on when we went up Peach St. and no one else was hungry yet. I am planning to go to Edinboro/Erie on my next Wednesday off. I want to see Allison, Austin and Grey. I still need to get my butt to a Snow Water Grove event.

Things are very busy at work with the new company, AJ Prindle. We also have a new hire group of 6 this week that includes my friend Harriet. Jeff is doing well in school, he got an 8 out of 10 on his first quiz of the semester. I am very proud of him!

I'm going to be trying to post more often as someone who writes another blog asked to link to me.

Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. I drove to West Hickory and spent the day with my family. I ate turkey, mashed potatoes, pie, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, baked corn and stuffing. Everything was wonderful. I am thankful for my husband, our home, our friends and our family. I am also thankful I was not in any of the marching bands in NYC yesterday. They got very wet.

I'd also like to wish a happy birthday to my sister Lacy. Her Birthday was November 21st.

I'm at work so I'll end this here. Merry Part and Blessed Be!
