It was really, really tempting to get a crispy chicken sandwich at McDonald's today but I stuck with just fries.
For being Good Friday there's not much "good" about it. It's a snowy mess outside, and it's the anniversary of Christ's death.
Work is boring. I'm going to have to skip church tonight because I have too much to do before tomorrow. I really wanted to go tonight, too.
I'll be spending my night going to the grocery store then making sheesy potaoes for Easter at my uncle's tomorrow.
I'm actually kind of glad that "Rock Band" at my friend Ryan's was cancelled tonight. I don't want to be out or doing much driving.
Last night I decided to treat myself and get a manicure/pedicure. Before my appointment I had some time to kill so I went next door to Mi Familia mexican restaurant. It's about as authentic as you can get. I sat at the bar and had chips and salsa verde (love the verde!) and ate a quesadilla while sipping on a screwdriver.
The bartender must have mixed it extra good or something becuase after just one drink, I was bombed. I chatted up all the people sitting at the bar, plus the bartender and the manager.
The manager was Mexican so we carried on a conversation in Espanol.
I could barely feel my legs as I walked over to the Cosmetology School.
Alex was there.......he as usual greeted me like I didn't lose his number and be rude to him last time I saw him....... he's my Russian teacher's overly narcissistic son. He's got good manners but is an ass when you get to know him. But we were amiable....... I was amiable with everyone.
Carla did my nails. I'd never had her before. She was good. Didn't look 42 years old that's for sure. She was talking about quitting and had had a bad day but by the end of the night she'd said thank you to me so many times for being her client and was so glad to have met me. She said she believes every thing happens for a reason and that we were meant to meet.
I told her I'd probably have her do my foils next month when I go back to blonde.
We chatted so much, it took over 3 hours to get my nails done- but that's why I like going to the school vs an actual salon. Not only is it way cheaper, but I get worked on longer.....nothing better when you've got a whole night to yourself.
You go and sit in a room full of women and a few hours later you all know eachother's life stories and everyone's happy.....even better when I get to pick on Alex.
I also splurged yesterday on CDs. I'm going for a huge music collection because I can't stand when I hear a song or get one in my head and don't have it in my collection to listen to it over and over and over.
The only way to get a song out of my head is to listen to it for like a week straight and until I know it-every note-by heart and can sing it.
The songs from "Enchanted" are like that....even worse they're catchy. "Working Song", "How Does She Know" and "So Close" are in my head as well as "I'm Not Going" from "Dreamgirls".
It's worse when there are multiple songs stuck in my head. Fragments just keep repeating themselves over and over.
I also bought the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack to replace the one that was stolen. For got how good and down homy the music is.
Here are some pics of the cookies I made for the bowlers this week:
The Leprechauns came out looking a little stoned and I coudln't get the beards orange or textured enough but not bad for a first run at these kind of cookies. Everything is completely from scratch.
I'm done with the complex cookies for awhile though- took me like 3 days to make these.
But the bowlers and co-workers love them so much and I really enjoy cooking.
Well, almost time to go out and brave the storm here........
HAPPY EASTER ALL!
