I love the fake feeling of being a good cook

Watching: Stuart play video games

I made an AMAZING meal today. And by 'made' I mean that I preheat the oven and stuck this in there.

Fresh & Easy makes me feel like an accomplished 'house wife' (just the cooking part) without the work. I got this cheese-stuffed chicken wrapped in smoked bacon for under $7 (for two pieces) and some buttered asparagus and TADAH! Delicious meal to please my guy! He complimented it just as if I had made it myself. Thank you Fresh & Easy. <3

Look, happy boyfriend. <3

Fun-filled weekend

Watching: I Used to be Fat

Today was a productive day and I feel accomplished. I went to get my oil changed, walked to my dentist appointment where I got my permanent bottom retainer wire removed, walked to get lunch since my car wasn't done yet, did laundry and wrote some penpal letters! I got quite a few replies to my 'who wants a letter?' facebook post and because of that, because I expect to be getting replies and writing more, I also ordered personalized stamps with Stryker on it. :D

I have Friday-Sunday off work. The plan is to see Igor Spectre on all three of their tour dates. One at House of Blues Anaheim, HoB Los Angeles and The Vault in Temecula. Danielle is going to all three shows with me and so is her brother and Serena. Not only is that enough to be a fun-filled weekend, but I was able to get two tickets to a recording of Drag U Friday afternoon and I'm taking my cousin Sarah.

It's going to be an exciting weekend.

Arizona

Watching: Hoarding

Since my last blog post I've been to Arizona for my second vacation. I visited Amy Parker, a gal I met online almost 5 years ago on Gaiaonline.com (a chat thread I frequent - everyday) as well as her son Dallas who is a very well-behaved four-year-old boy. We had some great fun; watching movies at her house, took her to experience hookah for the first time (she got sick though, wah), visited the Arizona Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium and had a BLAST at karaoke.

I also took an unexpected visit to my old neighbor Julie who is attending college at ASU which was only a 40 minute drive from Amy's house. We went to Whattaburger to which neither of us had been to before.

My final visit was to my cousin Sarah where I also met her finace. We watched a lot of Netflix and had dinner.

Overall I was very please with myself on this trip. I was nervous about flying alone, but I did it. I rented a car and navigated around Arizona very well on my own (well, with lots of help from mapquest) and it was a great experience.

I will post more photos once the film is developed.
