Busy busy…

hi folks.

 

well, so much for an entry a day.  sheesh. 

the private chef gig continues to occupy much of my time on saturday and sunday. 

 

this week, I fixed for my clients:

chicken florentine

pork-stuff cabbage rolls (1st time I ever made these.  time consuming)

chicken cordon bleu

chili  (they were at J & L’s party on the 31st, and really liked my chili then.)

 

I was gonna make tortilla soup too, since we ended up with packages of tortillas after the party, but I ran out of onions and energy and time, so maybe I’ll do that tomorrow evening.  or not.

 

We’re still working on this trans conference for next Feb, but the girl in charge, the exec director of the group, is just not that organized, and the registration page isn’t up yet.   Actually, it is up, it’s just not been made public yet.  the schedule is getting tight.

 

conflict continues with the other house about my son’s grades (2 As, 3 Bs, and 2 Cs).  what I’m really worried about is that they really want to out me and just mess things up, so they’re finding almost anything to be irritating enough to pick a fight over. 

sigh. 

 

am way behind in my nutrition schoolwork.  Back in the spring, I though I could finish 3 courses by the end of the year.  I’m almost done with the first, now.  sigh again.

 

and we have a new prez.  we went to a neighbor’s house last nite for a celebration, all us "die-hards" as the hostess put it.  our crowd has several folks in it from european countries, and it was interesting to hear all the stories of how intently everyone in Europe, and Africa too, were rooting for Obama.  It’s like his election has brought hope not just to the US, but to the whole frickin’ world. 

And the thought came up, how must McCain feel right now?  I mean, he must know that if he’d have won, there just would not be this outpouring of enthusiasm and just – pumped up-ed-ness.  I wonder if he feels like he was destined to lose, and when did he begin to get that feeling.  I’d bet it was long before last Tuesday…

 

g’nite folks.  need some more munchies prior to beddy-by time.
