| the long, long blog! |
so i haven't blogged in a week or so, i've been busy! last wednesday afternoon my new couch was delivered and it is BEAUTIFUL! i keep telling myself that i should take a pic and post it but that just takes too much energy. wednesday night was for doing laundry and cooking the turkey's giblets for the dogs.
thursday morning it was time to cook the bird and side dishes (18.33 lbs of bird for kathryn and i). this year i decided to stuff the bird with oranges, lemons and thyme; it was good. kathryn suggested stove top since it was only going to be two of us eating so i jazzed it up a bit by sauteeing some onion, apple and thyme and then adding it to the cooked stove top and then crisping it all up in the oven. it turned out to be a great idea and i will try to remember it for next year. i didn't have to cook again until last night and that's only because i put the rest of the leftover turkey in the freezer so that i could make turkey pot pies in a couple of weeks!
friday, saturday and sunday were for shopping; i was on a mission to find a new outfit for this years christmas party. by the time i found an outfit i had almost completed my christmas shopping, not a bad deal at all and everyone should end up being pretty damn happy :).
the worst thing about a long holiday weekend is coming back to work on monday and spending the entire day playing catch up. i managed to run out and bring back a sandwich only to have it sit for over an hour before i had time to eat it (i finally got to eat a little after 2:00). it was an exhausting day and today will be also; i have a "goal setting" meeting with my regional manager at 1:00 today. this is an annual meeting where we both sit and bullshit each other about how damn wonderful this year was and how great next year will be. i hand him a six page form (partially completed) with my goals, strengths, weeknesses and a bunch of other bullshit, he looks it over (pretending to be interested) and then asks, "is there anything i can do to help you?" to which i reply, "no thanks", we shake hands and all is over until next year. |

i sometimes wish my managers were hands-off like that. i swear they would critique the way i eat my lunch if someone told them i was "eating incorrectly."

it's not all that great, sometimes it's good to get a kick in the ass!
