Some Stuff
1) OMG. Coca Cola Chicken is awesome! *DROOLS* It tastes kinda like teriyaki, actually. ^^; And it took all of like, three whole minutes to put together. All you do is mix a packet of onion soup mix, a couple teaspoons of flour and a can of Coke together, and then pour it over the chicken {in the roasting pan/baking dish}. It takes about an hour an a half to cook, though, so you have to remember to put it in on time, or you'll be eating really late. >^-^<
2) Aaaaaa~h. Gave Neko a bath today; he gets bathed about 2-3 times a year, mostly when he's been shedding really badly. This time, he was shedding really badly (you can see kitty hair floating in the air around here...) and looking pretty scruffy, so I just got sick of it and bathed him. Then I brushed him for about 45 minutes while he was still damp, since that's when it's easiest to brush him out.
3) I looked in the classified ads for a chest freezer today, and tomorrow I'm supposed to go out and look at one. If I decide I'm going to buy it, it'll cost me $60. The reason I want a freezer is that I come from a family that freezes things--in the summer, for example, we buy/pick/whatever strawberries/raspberries/rhubarb/etc., and then freeze bags of them so that we can have them in the winter when they aren't widely available. Same thing with other misc. stuff like that.
HOWEVER.
Sarah, whom I share a fridge/freezer with, comes from a family that does not under any circumstances leave food in the freezer for more than about two weeks, tops. So I'll put stuff in the freezer, and within a week and a half, she's started bugging me about using it... and when I tell her I don't plan to use it any time soon, she starts asking if she can have it. No! That's not the point! ARGH! ...not to mention that the two of us just don't have enough freezer space to begin with. :P
Anyway, I'm on the prowl for a little chest-freezer, so that I can use that, and she can use the fridge-freezer, and stay the hell outta my stuff, dammit! *ticks slightly*
Murrr... =_=;;
4) And also in regards to the classifieds... I'm selling my drums. *sighs* I don't have the space for them, or really the interest anymore. And to tell you the truth, it makes me feel guilty that they're just sitting in storage right now--I'd much rather they were out being used by someone. Besides which, I could use the money.
So, five-piece drum kit, plus hi-hat, plus 1 crash symbol, plus foldable stool/seat. I'm selling for $500-$600, which is less than half of what the whole set originally cost, and it's all still in like-new condition, aside from a couple of faint scuffs on the crash symbol (which could probably just be polished off, now that I think about it...) They can have my sticks, too, if they want them... but one of em's cracked, so I doubt anyone will.
I'm considering selling my flute, too, for similar reasons; but unlike my drums, I do have the space for my flute, so there's a lot more of a possibility of me picking it back up again. I don't know what I'd ask for it, anyway... though I guess it cost just over $1,000 to buy brand-new (and again, still in like-new condition--I take good care of my instruments!), so I'd have to ask for at least $400-$500... meh. I'll probably never sell it anyway...
5) This weekend, my family's going to my cousin's wedding; I'm not going, though. ^^;; The thing is, this is Karen's wedding... and I haven't seen Karen in over ten years. So going to the wedding would be like going to the wedding of a complete stranger, basically. I have trouble with big crowds, too, and the idea of going kind of made me uncomfortable. I'm sending a card for her and her husband, though, and my best wishes, of course.
Huh. You know, between one thing and another, I've never actually been to a wedding... |_|;;
6) Bought Ryuu-chan's Christmas present really early! Heh, heh, heh... X3
