my timing SUCKS!

Why is it whenever I try cooking dinner about 9 times out of 10 there's about 10 to 20 minutes between things being ready.  I'm always trying to keep something warm while trying to rush something else to finish.

I suck.

Yesterday was good, and aside from a lecture from my dad including things such as... Me going back to school and Me writing to him more it was a fight free holiday.  (Those are rare for me.)

The T and I woke up WAY too early, got coffee started, then woke Little T up.  He got a boat load of stuff, including (but not limited to... a new computer, some clothes, transformers and books.)  The Terrorist got me an awesome locket and I got him a shower curtain.  We finished doing the gift thing, I made breakfast then The T had to leave for work.  Shortly after Little T left for the grandparents house.

That's when the really Christmas joy began. 
No, I'm totally lying. 
I didn't really do much of anything exciting. 
Talked to family/friends, watched some LOST, had some "Megan Time" (meaning I shaved, plucked, exfoliated & showered... not the other kind of "Megan Time") 

Changed our shower curtain.
We had this one...

Anyway... this is our new shower curtain... (a Christmas Gift from me to the T)

Remember, my boyfriend is a total and complete geek.  (I'm not a bad gift giver... he's just a geek :-)  Though I will miss my Ducky shower curtain I have to admit there are some pretty cool things about this new shower curtain, like the fact that I can go pee and learn things.  Like last night, as I was crawling back into bed after a post coital pee, I got all cuddled up to the T and asked him about Curium.  Curium is one of the Elements that are at the bottom of the chart (in white)  from what I remember from Chemistry, they're the more recently discovered elements.  The names of them are quite often obviously named after things, such as Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium.  I couldn't figure out what Curium was named after,  all I could think of was the spice and I had a feeling that wasn't the case.  So, the Terrorist enlightened me.  Curium is named after Madame Curie who is (from what I've skimmed over on Wikipedia) a pretty cool chick.
Plus the shower curtain allows a LOT more light into the bathroom from the little Tiny window above the shower

That was pretty much the gist of my day. 
Oh yeah...

I made an AWESOME Christmas dinner.  (Well actually I think the word used was "excellent" but... same diff.)  It wasn't anything extremely extravagant (ham, mashed potatoes, veggies & garlic bread) but I made it myself and retained my title of "Good Cook."

I remember when Chris and I were together, on a few different occasions we'd be cooking stuff together and he'd make some comment how he was teaching me to cook so I could cook for my future husband, or something to that effect.  It would fucking piss me off when he made these comments.  Now, 2-3 years down the road, I can't help but giggle because he was basically right, granted the semantics are a bit off, but the basic idea is correct.

Little T goes to his grandparents this weekend.  I don't have to work at all this weekend.  Well, the coffee shop tried to call me in, which was tempting for half a second because I lost so many hours at the beginning of this week, but Little T isn't going to be home and the T and I have a lot of sex to catch up on.  Me going into work tonight would delay that and that's just not cool with me.

Now, I need to go make the kid lunch.  Well, that is, if he ever gets out of the shower and tells me what he wants for lunch.

Christmas is out of the way, now the countdown begins...

11 days until my birthday!!

:-)

Dinner went well. 
Little T and I made Shepard's Pie. 
I have never seen a kid eat so much freakin' food.  Then, first thing this morning after I got here he comes out and asks me if there is any more and can he have it for lunch.  (Actually he wanted just a "little, little, tiny piece" for breakfast too.)  I think he liked it.

I sort of made my "semi-reasonable" bed time.  After the kid went to be the T and I were discussing all the things we can't discuss in front of him.  At some point we got on the topic of how the apartment is going to be set up.  He started throwing out suggestions but because I'm such a visual person I have a hard time imagining things without seeing them.  His response to this...  "I have something to help with that"  or something like that.  He jumped up went to the computer, I sat on the couch wondering what the hell he was doing for a few minutes then more or less passed out until I woke up to him playing with my feet. 
What was he doing?
Making a layout of my apartment via the Sims.
Hilarious!
After I got over my amusement at the situation I realize it was actually a pretty good idea.  We didn't really decide anything except that the cable comes in the living room in a really awful spot.
I left here a little bit after midnight, got home, showered and was in bed by 1a.  Later than I wanted but not that bad, add that to the fact that I didn't have to be here until 8a... I feel much better.  Still tired, but feeling much better!

I miss bed sex. 
Never thought I'd say that.
Though I totally enjoy the shower sex and living-room blow-jobs, I miss the non-rushed sex that comes behind closed, locked, bedroom doors.
That's gonna be some good sexin' when it happens.

Today I need to...
- Come up with something to do with a handful of strawberries.
- Send out a few resumes.
- Call my landlord, discuss plans.
- Make sure Little T is at home at 3.30p
- Decide if I'm gonna go get a drink with Miss. Kelly and what to wear when I decide that I have to go.
- Burn cd for Nate.

The kid and I are making dinner for his dad tomorrow night.

It was something I kind of mentioned in passing a week or two ago and he completely latched on to it. 
I'm totally okay will that, I like cooking.  The problem is the fact that by tomorrow night rolls around I'm going to be pretty freakin' wiped.  It's been a long week, with little sleep.

I don't know what we're going to make.  I've got things planned out but I'm wishy washy and I don't know which route I want to take.  I suggested asking his dad's opinion but Little T wants it to be a surprise so that's out.  I've been torn between something pasta based and something with mashed potatoes.  I fucking love mashed potatoes and I haven't had any since I've been in Maine.

The Internet is wonderful for finding food ideas!
To bad none of them are appealing to me right now.

Fuck me.  The sleepies have hit.  I need to do stuff.

Stuff to do...
- Continue contemplating dinner ideas
- Call one or two more shipping places in the Augusta/Brunswick area.
- Call sister.
- Possibly do some dishes 'cause I'm a good girlfriend!  (hehe)

Weird Confession...
I was crawling into bed last night, very late/early in the morning and I was a tad on the horny side.  I briefly thought about masturbating but because I was sleeping in the magical bed I decided against it.*  Then I got thinking about how long it has been since I've masturbated.  Almost two weeks.  I actually half sat up in bed and said "Holy Fuck!"  Not that'd I'm fiendish about it or anything but that's kind of a long time.  I haven't really thought about it lately, so I must be getting what I need.  That's crazy though, even when I was having sex daily or every other day I was still masturbating at least once a week.

Okay I need to go be productive in the hour before I need to get in the shower.

*Yes, I will totally have sex in my roommate's bed but when it comes to masturbation I think that's a little weird and can't/won't do it.

I think...

That I should cook Thanksgiving dinner. 

Yep.  That's what I've decided.  And I came to this decision after going to my mom's for Thanksgiving.  I made the mashed potatoes.  They were awesome... as always.  And I also carved the turkey.  Yep.  That's right.  I carved the turkey.  And what are the two most important components of thanksgiving dinner?  You got it!  The Mashed Potatoes and the Turkey.  And I handled both WONDERFULLY! 

Yep.  I need to cook Thanksgiving dinner sometime.
