I love how my days are constant roller coasters of feeling kinda perky and feeling like giving the world the finger for no specific reason other than bitchery. On the upside -- had tea and crumpets for breakfast, talked to my Bee for a little bit, and wore my spiffy Cobra Starship t-shirt. Also upside, did well in therapy (I think we're moving into phase 3 now? I feel like a puppy with a biscuit) and then I went shopping and called my mom.
On the downside, I shopped for 500kr ($50. Ish.) and called my mom. Also, roomie has bought a computer, which means she'll a) be home more and b) occupy the kitchen more than she already does. MY SANCTITY AND SHE HAS ALREADY DEFILED IT WITH HER ICKY FOOD HABITS. *cough* Joking aside, I've kind of gotten used to having the apartment to myself a lot lately, and having her around when I bake and clean is a little awkward.
I don't have much money, but for once I actually have SOME (social security, what a blessing you are), so I spent a little while browsing the kitchen ware section at Åhléns today, making eyes at the mugs and table cloths and chair covers. I bought kitchen towels. I'm thinking maybe table cloths or even CURTAINS for next month. Don't come here and tell me I don't know how to party. Maybe I'll go really crazy and buy me a book shelf!
Made chili con carne for dinner, which was actually not only edible but dare I say delicious. Making food is just getting easier and easier and takes less and less time. It's easier to just whip something up, and it's a lot easier to improvise all of a sudden. I'm baking tomorrow, though I may have to make a quick trip to the grocery store and pick up some stuff I forgot. I'm thinking carrot bread. I also have an eggless recipe on carrot scones that I plan on making later. If they're good, I may use them to woo my daddy, who CLAIMS he doesn't like sweets but shovels them down by the bucketload, the big faker. *g*
I'm a little grumpy I can't make most cookies actually -- egg allergy; can eat them when they're baked into stuff, can't crack them without getting sick -- but I've been looking through candy recipes for toffee and caramel and glazed berries and chocolate-y things that I might try out some day, just for fun.
Have been on an MCR kick today. Hi, GeeWay, I missed you.
