i’m still not really sure what this blog is going to be about, or if i’ll invite family to come have a looksee or …??
for now, i’m mostly talking to myself.
or typing to myself.
and since my life is drab right now (just the way i like it)
i’m going to talk about a few mundane things…
like… movies
we went to see Up in the Air tonight
it was good. and quite a “save” on Clooney’s part considering his last movie induced my sleep about 5 minutes in until 5 minutes shy of the credits
the movie is … pleasantly pointless.
but full of value
if that makes any sense at all
and it probably doesn’t
however… clooney is still very easy on the eyes
secondly…
day two of the “Digital Cleanse”
has gone fairly well. this might be easier than i thought.
although… my “job” keeps me at a desk all day
so i’m still very dependent on the internet to run my business
but as for the “cleanse”
i haven’t used my phone to text. surf facebook. twitter. etc
in fact, i took it a step further and discontinued the use of my favorite New App, Words with Friends
i thought my friends might be a little disappointed to not be in text contact with me
but they’re not. hmmmmm
food for thought?
of course, it’s day two. five left.
all in all – this is easier than i thought. the thing i want to do most is update my Twitter Account.
i don’t really ever use facebook to look at people’s profiles. i link twitter and facebook and then watch people respond to my twitter updates
which are, in most cases, absolutely ridiculous
selfish, perhaps, but completely honest
today i realized it was saturday
about 10 hours into the day
and that highly frustrated me
i’m so off balance
i need a regroup
today was nice. nice with no phone. and no attachment to the WORLD, but rather limited to the people within close proximity.
the kid, significant other, and i decorated a gingerbread christmas tree
fashionably late, yes
but i assure you that is the LEAST of our problems here
for starters… one should always read the destructions when they are included in photo form on the box
since the SO has MAJOR lackage of kitchen supplies such as MEASURING SPOONS
(because he’s a man and doesn’t bake … that’s his excuse)
i had to guesstimate how much water to add to the powdered sugar to make frosting
i overshot this by, i dunno ……….. a cup?
what’s the big difference between 1.5 tablespoons of water and a cup of water?
i’ll tell you: it’s a 40 minute card ride around neighborhood stores – Walgreens, Target, the Asian grocery store, and finally…. Walmart
in search of a bag of powdered sugar
because the SO also lacks powdered sugar in his house
(for reasons, see above annotation)
why didn’t i give up? because i didn’t want to dissapoint the offspring by telling him we weren’t going to be able to decorate the tree
because i had been promising we’d “do it tomorrow” since a week before Christmas
we arrive home with said sugar
only to see that the offspring is not interested in making the tree anymore, now that he has the spoons of frosting to lick
the SO and i make this tree. and we find it quite humorous and embarassing in the same thread
yeah. we’re pretty “special”
after the movie, my cousin and i pulled out our recipe book to make pork chops for dinner
but that didn’t go as suggested. instead, we made up a recipe as we went along
and this is healthy. promise.
it’s a cumin-black pepper porkchop with a yogurt/marmalade glaze topped with a couple of pieces of cooked pineapple
mmmm
in the, unlikely event, that we ate too many calories… we worked it off by embarking on a 5 hour spring cleaning
mhm.
it’s now 5am. and i’m exhausted. and gonna go ahead and call this one a wrap.
