Ohio is boring

There is really very little to do here. We have done very exciting things so far on this vacation. I've chopped up ice on my grandparents drive way, help set up for our family thing, went to our family thing, went to my grandparents the next day to clean up their house after our family thing, went shopping, went to Ikea, sat around. We did make a delicious delicious corn chowder for lunch yesterday. I got The Professional Chef book by the CIA (Culinary Institute of America...) for Christmas. So we tried to make their corn chowder - it was delicious. I really want to try to make the Lobster Bisque. Mmmmm bisque. I need some cheesecloth though first and maybe a china cap.

It's been really low key and annoyingly unexciting. I did post some great pics from this week on my picasa page. Check it out. Pretty hilarious.

We're going to do very exciting things today though. Go pick up a sharpening stone so we can sharpen my mom's chef knife (we ran around all day trying to find a knife sharpener -the person - here and we failed...) and then we're going to hang out... Fun times. Fun times.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
