apparently i'm bad at blogging.

i am also apparently bad at keeping track of time, ie- did you know that thanksgiving was NEXT WEEK!? cause i didn't! all this time i was so concentrated on finishing up the last few weeks of my job (did i mention that i put in my quitting notice? oops. welp, tomorrow is my last day.) that i didn't even realize that a week from today is thanksgiving, until mikie told me last night right before i fell asleep. i didn't believe him, and he told me again during breakfast. and i still didn't believe him. and then my sister then confirmed it.

AAAAHH! am i going to try to make a turkey!? am i making a feast for the two of us? am i confident enough in my cooking abilities to attempt roasting a turkey (or maybe just a turkey breast...)?

anyway. i got a sewing machine :-) i like it a lot, it's pretty great. i got the brother that carly recommended (plus i've heard so many great things about brothers.)
unfortunately, i haven't used it very much. i was so thrilled to be able to start sewing, but a) i am actually not that great of a sewer, and b) after work i am always exhausted after standing on my feet and helping people for eight hours. so now that i will soon have all the time in the world, i can start sewing! (i never thought i would ever say that.)
sooo since it is so small and lightweight, i might bring it to salt lake for christmas and get some help sewing haha. (pleeeaase carly and lisa?) or maybe not, after all, salt lake just got an h&m and i've been dying to go into one for some time. (okay and speaking of clothes and stuff, and not to sound greedy, but sometimes i wish i could have all things anthropologie.)

i scored this book at d.i. today. did anybody else ever read it? was i the only one with maurice sendak books at home? like, multiple ones. besides where the wild things are. i probably was. anyway. i told mikie how when i was little, this book inspired many meals when my parents were gone. mostly since we always had a bunch of cooked rice on hand, i could just make my self some campbells and plop in a scoop of rice.

well... this is basically life right now. it's not very exciting right now but i just thought i would give an update.
