I wish every weekend was 3 days long
12.07.03 (4:40 pm)   [edit]
In 24 hours, I will be sitting at my desk at work. BLEH! I guess I am still sick, but I broke down and took some medicine. I took a Buckley's cold and cough caplet. It's worked extremely well. I'm not sure if it's making tired, though. I slept through TWO alarm clocks this morning, so I guess I got a really good sleep...from 2:30 - 11.

Yesterday morning, I ran around buying my bus ticket (yay! I get to see my best friend for 3-ish days next week!) and baking stuff. P and I spent a few hours baking. Our shortbread tasted like flour biscuits. D'oh. Everything else had brown lace edges :wink: Her oven is a little hotter than expected, I think! Anyway, when I was at the supermarket, I had to phone her to see what ingredients (and how much) I needed to pick up. "How much butter do we need?" "Ummm...I don't know...how much do you think we will need?" Repeat for various other ingredients. Good thing she couldn't see me because I was rolling my eyes a lot. The recipes were at her place...all she had to do was look at them, and add up the quantities.

At one point we were making brownies. She was going to take care of the first step, which was to beat the eggs and add the sugar gradually. She beat the eggs (what do they mean "beat until foamy?"), stopped the beater, and dumped one cup of sugar in. "Oh, we don't have enough sugar!" So we let everything sit there, and headed out to buy some sugar. We finished all our baking in good time, and then went off to the gym.

While I was over at P's, S called me to see if I wanted to join him and his family for dinner. Of course I said "yes" even though being around his family highly intimidates me. I hadn't seen him since the summer, and I was pleasantly surprised that seeing him again was comfortable. I will probably see him again tonight.

And I may as well give a J update...that guy I was totally crazy about for the longest time (for no good reason except that I found him very mentally stimulating). I've finally come to the conclusion he's a lost cause. When I first met him, I thought "this is a great guy. I wonder why he's single." I think I've seen why. :shock: I also guessed (incorrectly) that he was a virgin. Anyway, now I wonder if I want put in the effort for a friendship. He seems content to chat online, and if we're to ever get together, *I'm* the one who has to suggest it, and think of stuff that he wouldn't mind doing. Too much work.

Isn't "J" the one you who acted like a real dorko that night in a bar a loooooong time ago? Is that the same one? I get too easily confused!

I love the image of y'all baking brownies and all those goodies and then going to the gym. :)

*L* The gym's a must after eating all those goodies! She, however, chose not to keep *any* of the shortbread!!

Haha! Definately! Although I think on average the lot is improving. When I go to trade shows, I still see signs of social anemia...and guys who trip going up stairs!

When I was at one of the Comdex parties, I spoke to one of the writers from The Inquirer...www.theinquirer.net, and he was telling me how he did experiments with Earl Grey tea...which BTW, is unhealthier than diet Coke!!
