I forgot...*sigh*

So I gave up meat for Lent.  Today's the first day of Lent.  I bought a chicken carbonara sandwich from Quiznos...we're gonna pretend that today is Sunday lol.

Today's Rants:

1. A week full of fail that's only half over *sigh*
2. Classes that are colder than the outside with the falling snow.
3. Having to wear heels for 12 hours today...my poor feet.
4. Getting flirted with by sexy men ... in a friendly way.
5. Not having enough time to spend with my son.
6. Being too tired to study for exams in the morning.
7. Giving up meat for Lent and then forgetting on the first day and eating chicken....

Can I have a redo on this week please?

Today's Happys:

1. Getting to see Victoria randomly two times today!
2. Getting gluten free communion.
3. Evolution Sunday and learning how to embrace my inner fish.
4. Mardi Gras celebration at church.
5. Dancing with my son.
6. Being told that I'm loved in spite of my loud, in-your-face personality because I'm a wonderfully caring and loving person.
7. Realizing that people actually take the time to see the other side of me.
8. Having 2 Drag Queen performances at the gay bar we're going to for my birthday on Saturday!
9. Finding new music.

Delicioso!

Today felt like a weekend!

Snow snow everywhere. Blah! The leech's school was canceled, mine wasn't. So I set him up on WoW and braved the weather. Mind you, I was dressed up because our fraternity was pinning our initiates this evening. I got to my first class and while I was there I got an alert on my phone that the university canceled the classes for the rest of the day.

I came home and drove out to the store to pick up some supplies. Remember, I'm trying this whole new vegetarian thing. After grocery shopping I worked on some homework and realized that I could actually take a nap...so I did. It was a beautiful thing. Except that when I woke up, my hip started hurting and it was below zero in my room because I'd forgot to turn up my heater before I laid down lol.

Got up around 6 and went to fix dinner. It was an experience to say the least. Let me warn you, I'm not domestic at all. I'm only in the kitchen long enough to warm something up in the microwave usually. Tonight I actually had to mash avocados and peel the skin off of tomatoes and use 3 herbs! It was a lot of fun actually. And oh my goodness, it turned out delicious! Oh, right...I made bean nachos. I also forgot to take a picture of it for you. I'm sorry. I need to find some .. brioche (I think that's the name of the bread) so I can make this mushroom thing I want to try.

Now here's the pisser of the night. I fixed this gorgeous dinner and the leech freaked out and gagged when he saw it. He said it was from the smell. It smelled like limes to me. I'm not physical with my children at all but I really had to restrain myself from smacking him. I hate it immensely when children are disrespectful...especially mine.

I told him to try it. After all, I'd even bought our favorite (and expensive) organic root beer to drink with it! He took a nibble of a corn chip that didn't have anything on it, and proclaimed that it was nasty. Again, I had to restrain myself. I gave him ample opportunity to eat but he sat there crying crocodile tears until I took the food and his root beer away and told him to just go to bed then.

I have tons leftover for tomorrow. This makes me happy :) Oh, and I also had a root beer float for dessert!

So now, I'm going to tuck him in and then work on some homework before bed. Oh, and I know you were wondering about the history I had to write for Dr. B. I finished it last night and sent it off to him. Now I just need to work with Dr. A on my letter of intent. Hopefully I can get that done this weekend and have everything ready to send off on Monday!

I hope you're enjoying this lazy day as much as I am! :)
