Thursday

Hello all!

I am finding with my new schedule - aka. not being in school and being in work all day - my blogging habits must change fairly dramatically! Now I intentionally think of things all day long to share with you all in the evening. Unfortunately I forget them all by the time I get home and being the fine art of relaxing.

Here are some of my triumphs and less-than-triumphs of the past few days.

Triumph: Finding the grocery store. Shopping UNDER budget (by a whole dollar!), leaving aforesaid grocery store and finding my way "home." I've discovered alot of northern va through getting loss - this one time I did not mind finding my way without a problem
Less-than-triumph: I tried to poach eggs tonight, as I did not have butter for the pan and wanted to try something new. I should have looked up directions before hand. But the yokes cooked in the boiling pot of water, while the little egg whites floated around like misguided angels. Next time I'll try to give them a little guidance.


Triumph: Dressing up for work every day and looking snazzy. (thanks auntie for the clothes guidance all those many moons ago)
Less-than-triumph: Work shoes hurt. Particularly heels. Bandaids are my friends.

Triumph: Feeding myself every night with good food.
Less-than-triumph: See poaching incident above. And I need to buy salt. That would come in useful.

Triumph: Doing the "career" thing out here on my own.
Less-than-triumph: Missing everyone at home.
Triumph: Blogging to include them in my world.

Thanks everyone for your support
