I Hate When I Can't Think Of A Title

This was the drawing for Brooke's card

Hasn't been that interesting of a week. I don't really remember much happening at all. I do recall working my ass off and staying late most days. I hate my job I hate my job I hate my job. Yeah

Yesterday I forgot to post because Shane and I slept in late and then went out to the mall, even through all the snowy mess. We didn't get to our movie last week so figured we'd catch it this week. However, apparently the movie didn't do well. We know this because it was playing nowhere. Which of course we learned AFTER getting to the mall. So instead we went to see I Am Number Four. Yeah, don't go see that. I knew walking int that I wasn't going to like it and the only hope was when I saw the poster I noticed Timothy Olyphant was in it. He did not make it better. It blew monkey balls. 5 minutes in when it said "My home planet..." I turned to Shane with the most unamused face I could have. It did not get better. and Timothy Olyphant dies. When that happened I damn near got up and left, I had no reason to stick around. I just, no.

We went and checked out Borders to see if there would be any "Hey, our company is going bankrupt." sales. There were not. Didn't matter anyway, I had found the bargain books section of Barnes and Noble.com and books under $5. I raided it and collected 10 books all but 1 under $3. Al;l from my old reading lists that I'm still trying to get through. The other was one I actually wanted and it was still only $7. The 10 books only added up to just over $25, which meant free shipping. So I snagged those up when we got home anyway. Also checked Burlington Coat Factory for season ending deals and they didn't have crap for clearance. I found one coat I loved.. but it was regular price, which was $109. Knowing me I'll end up paying it anyway.

Half done and crosseyed

Had dinner at Houlihans before we left. That's always good. We then went to Walmart to get some regular things I had a list of needing, conditioner, cat food.. the usual. But still left with a good $90 in stuff. There's always something else to pick up. They had all their spring stuff going out and I was getting all excited even though there's a new foot plus of snow outside. I bought new planters for my indoor plants and potting soil and seed for my outdoor plants. (I'm soooo excited to garden. Now if only I had a job where I actually had time to do that!) I can't wait to see morning glories wrapped all around our porch.

Only took us a couple hours

Today was a very busy day. After finishing digging out the cars (OH MY GOD) I did some housework and then we went to my parents house to pick up some more stuff. My dad got really on board and helped us a lot. Aside from all my little messy junk everything is here now. I have my old bed and the tv and the bookcase. Its all set up already. It's kinda creepy how this backroom really looks like my old room. If I get homesick I can just come in here and it's like I never left. It's actually I really nice room. Kinda sad it doesn't really have a purpose or anyone to sleep over in it.



My little owl friend
I broke his head/eyebrows off
Also his eyes were upside down :/



Other than that it's been really quiet. I've been keeping busy doing craft projects. I have a paint by numbers I'm slowly working on. And Brooke and Glenn gave me this 3d puzzle thing to build a wooden owl. I started it today and I'm about halfway done (although I did break a piece.. but that's what wood glue is for.) I plan on giving the finished project to my dad.. painted and all. Shane and I did their regular puzzle too before giving it to my mom who was really intrigued by it. We're a weird couple. Ooo and I got the tv hooked up with cable too so right now, Shane is playing is infernal game (lol) and I can still watch tv. It's super nice. I told him if we get in a fight I got a good set up. All I need is to snag the mini fridge for in here.

Honey Roasted Chipotle Chicken

 I tried a new recipe tonight. I was planning on making it like 2 weeks ago for Brooke and Glenn. I'm really glad I couldn't. Ya see the recipe literally said the chicken only needed to cook for 7 minutes at 350. Now that's the main reason I got the recipe, it was all done in 15. I put it in.. and 15 minutes later (double the time it needed) It was raw inside when I served it. I flipped out (I'm a girl, it's complicated) Shane turned up the stove and put it in for another HOUR!. Finally it was done. I threw a hissy fit but after all that it was actually really good. I think maybe my chicken wasn't defrosted? I had it in the fridge for like 3 days though. I don't really know. I was so excited for it and it was a let down. *sigh*
