Sorry for abandoning you, but things have gotten a little hectic lately. There's work, which I won't talk about, and then there's just everything else that's going on, such as the following:
- I texted my mother today because she sent me back to Chicago after Thanksgiving with a glass dish of lasagna. Since Boyfriend is gone during the week, I'm really the only one around to eat the lasagna, and I don't necessarily want to eat lasagna for every meal until it's gone. Even if I ate it breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it would probably take me at least a week to finish it. So I had to text my mother to see if I could put it back in the freezer in its glass dish, or if that would make it explode. I remember hearing that glass explodes when you freeze it...is that wrong? Apparently, because she said to put it back in there, or eat it within five days of when she gave it to me, which was last Friday.
- Last night, Susannah, Erica and I went out for dinner to celebrate Erica's somewhat-belated birthday. Since we're all strapped for cash (I had to pay $20 for my work holiday party...I'm still deeply offended by this fact and am going to continue to let it bother me forever) we opted for a BYOB Mexican place in Lakeview. The food was okay, but the real save was our makeshift margarita. Tequila, Diet Sierra Mist, and Crystal Light lemonade powder. Done. The restaurant had no bathroom, though, and it dawned on Erica and myself as we walked briskly through the subzero night air that this was a problem, many glasses of water and margaritas later. We tried banging on the door of a Starbucks as the employees closed up shop, but they were cold hearted Scrooges who forced us to go to Dunkin Donuts to use the facilities and purchase hot cocoa as a way of demonstrating our deepest gratitude. Then, by the time I got home it was 9:45 which is embarrassingly close to my bed time, and I committed my last hour awake to my Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns ice cream.
I realized as I was about to finish this off that I didn't actually abandon anything, and I posted just two days ago. Is the week seriously going by that slowly?? GET ME OUT. Friday night is the big dinner soiree chez Susannah, so perhaps that will provide some entertaining stories...or something. Adios.
