Do you ever have one of those mornings where you wake up, glance quickly at the clock to see what time it is, and then do a double take because it is either SO much earlier, or SO much later than you thought it was?
Well, today was one of those days, for me.
I slept until 1:15 pm. I did a double take, because I was SURE there must have been another 1 before that 1. Nope. I slept straight through the morning, and then some. I haven't slept that late in AGES. And I slept like a rock! I didn't even go to bed that late. Oh well, that's what Saturdays are for, right?
Plus, I stayed in my jam jams all day. I had planned on going into Rome with my mom, but she was already long gone by the time I got up, and my dad was being boring, so I essentially had the house to myself. I decided my time would best be spent watching 5 episodes of Snapped, on the Oxygen network, in a row.
Has anyone ever seen Snapped? It's pretty great, pretty addictive. It's about lady criminals. Regular la-de-da ladies who just snapped one day and killed their husband/husband's mistress/neighbors/all of the above. I love crime dramas, I can watch and HAVE watched them all day. I worry sometimes that my love for crime dramas will result in me murdering someone someday. Please don't use this as evidence one day if I do find myself in some horribly unfortunate scenario where I am being framed for murder. I am not a murderer, I swear. What I DO hope, is that all my crime shows will enable me to outsmart any murderer/robber/rapist/attacker.
I also discovered a crazy delicious new food blog, Annie's Eats, and have spent several hours perusing everything it has to offer. I want to make and eat basically every single recipe on the website. Every single thing.
Which brings me to another train of thought. Looking at her website, and all the photos of her meal prep...I want to be able to do that! I want to have my own kitchen, and kitchen tools, and people to cook dinner for, and birthday treats to make. I've really been trying to hone my cooking and baking skills since I've been home, and while cooking for the 'rents is great, I'd love to have my OWN kitchen to cook in. Eligible men, wherefore art thou?
...not in Camden, NY.
Final thought: I went to the Grog (ick.) to see Small Town Glory (double ick.) with BethAmuso and Scotty too hotty (huzzah!). It was sooooo good to see them, it had been way WAY too long. Since Christmas. Which is extra foolish, considering Scotty is now living in my neck of the woods. And even BETTER, we got to toast gay marriage finally being legal in NY! We've already started planning Scotty's wedding, whether he likes it or not :)
Final thought for real: I am watching Ice Loves Coco. What a fantastic program.
I enjoy when you reference your jam jams. Remember when I bought you rubber duckie jam jams?
ReplyDeleteI also would like to cook all the time, but I feel so claustrophobic in my kitchen that it is a big deterrent. The summer heat is also a big deterrent for me.
Yay for gay marriage!
It was like you read my mind as I was reading your blog. I read the part where you said you watched "Snapped." And I thought to myself, "Huh, I wonder what that is..." And then you answered my question!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think we should have a cooking extravaganza day!! Maybe the next time you're in RI or maybe July 23, bc I'm home and don't have plans that day. And we'll pick a Tom of yummy things to make that we've never made before and then invite all of our awesome friends to come eat them and tell us how amazing we are!
And Tom should have read ton.
ReplyDeleteSo we're not making a giant man out of food and naming him Tom? Because that's what I was hoping for.
ReplyDeleteYou went to the GROG!!!!!
