New Stuff?
Because I check my friends updates on here almost daily, I didn't realize that I haven't updated in a really long time.
That being said, I don't really have much news to talk about. Maybe I have been suffering from Writer's Block or something...I don't know. I started my vacation today, but decided to work on a photo shoot and I will most likely go into work at least 1 or 2 days this week. So I guess I am on 'vacation' for monday and tuesday. Who knows. I don't have to go in to work but I would at least like to pop in for a day and try to manage the paperwork that will have inevitably accumulated on my desk. Call me neurotic, but knowing that I have tons of work piling up on my desk does not help my enjoy my vacation. I really need to learn how to relax. Eh, one day I will.
I have been trying to perfect my cooking and entertaining skills lately by hosting a couple small dinners. They have gone well and I am thinking of hosting a real dinner party pretty soon. Maybe only 6 or 8 people but big enough for our place to feel full and I can actually use all of the food I cook. I always cook way too much and then have left-overs for the following week and considering that I only eat left-overs the day after, that means a lot of food gets wasted. I'll let you all know how things go with the plans for the big dinner party. I really do want to be known as a great cook and hostess. That could just be me wanting to live up to my mom's reputation and showing that I inherited those skills. I think I have potential.
My only goal this week is to make it to Eastern Market and buy some super fresh produce and flowers. I always have the great idea to go there well after noon when it is no longer an option. Once this week really isn't a lofty goal so it would be pathetic if I can't get my butt up early enough. Trouble is, I drag myself out of bed really early monday thru friday! Thus, the last thing I want to do is drag myself out of bed when it is not imperative that I do so.
ok, i'm done for now.
