alot of nothing. and then a recipe..
Got some cleaning done. Chilled with my home girl [okay, Ceilidh..she still counts though!] and she keeps asking me to take video of her. She learned "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" recently, and now appreciates singing it to anyone who may listen to her. She's been very relaxed all day.. Ben is taking tomorrow off to stay with her.. which is very nice of him.
My dishwasher.. yeah, that BRAND NEW one, that was just installed in May [you know.. SIX MONTHS AGO!] is already on the fritz. Ya know, if the apartment wasn't so cheap, and would actually realize "hey, these are apartments with families, and kids.. and LOTS of dishes/wear & tear" they wouldn't have to be sending me new stuff and coming to continually FIX stuff that is wrong.. Arg.
I'm really excited it's almost Thanksgiving! There's already family drama no doubt.. poor mom & grandma. Oi. We're making the stuffing [Ben's task].. a sweet potato side dish [my task.. unsure WHAT I'll make].. Brie en Croute [my task].. Ambrosia Salad [it's a staple at Holiday's now.. Cindy always made it, and taught me -it's fairly simple & super tasty]
