I'm Finally Posting Again!

I hope everyone has had a nice holiday season & got through school, work, & “fun time” with your extended families, heh heh.  Sorry I was gone so long.  I have a HUGE backlog of pictures, but they’re mostly crafty ones, as I was flat-ass broke for the past month.  Ethan & I were watching a movie on my computer & he somehow gestured with his hand (which happened to be holding a glass of wine!) & splattered that red liquid all over my white bedspread & MacBook—the look on his face was so sad that I couldn’t have possibly gotten angry.  After the shock wore off, we took it to the Mac store & the dude said that it would cost $800 to send it away for fixing, or $1,000 for a new one.  Sad, but I just bought a new one & he’s paying me for part of it once our financial aid comes through, thank Christ.

Since my work is closed over any school holidays (it’s at the university), I’ve been out of work for this month, so things have been sparse!  That’s why I didn’t post my “gourmet” meals of beans & rice, pasta w/tomato paste, & other weird concoctions that I’ve survived on by raiding my pantry & freezer w/more desperation than I’ve had before.  The whole experience has made me aware that I am very privileged & need to remember that.  I also realized that I have a lot more food stored up than I knew & don’t always need to run to the store when I have a specific craving.  It’s just silly.  (Okay, PMS cravings don’t count!!!)  Creativity is key!

I also got the Thanksgiving “gift” of a notice that my already high rent is going up(for having an apartment w/out heat for a year–besides a space heater)—not something I’m thankful for!—so in one week I’m moving back in w/Ethan.  We’re so happy!  I think we’ve both learned a lot since we’ve lived apart, and he said that his place hasn’t felt like a home since I’ve been gone.  Sweet, huh?!  I wish the move could have taken place long before school was scheduled to start up again, but his current roommate couldn’t move out earlier.  Oh well.  That’s life!  I’ll try to post regularly & make more exciting foods than the tasty, but ugly, stuff I’ve been munching on.

I probably won’t be able to deal with comments a whole lot, but I’ll try to respond if you have questions for me.  )
