My Reality
Okay, so today its snowing again here. . . and we are supposed to have 3-5 inches of the white stuff by tomorrow. Its pretty I guess, but I am still not a fan of winter and I am ready to move to the coast somewhere in South America. But today I managed to stay at home and have a lovely time.
I only have one day of my practicum left on Tuesday and then I am done for the semester. I think I managed to get straight A's this semester. I got a 19.8 out of 20 on my Comparative Policy/Program Framework paper which I thought was kind of hard. I felt pretty good about that. Last night I went to a coffee shop with one of my friends in this quiet college town since a lot of students moved out since yesterday was the last day of finals. We sat there and I had a nice vanilla latte and read a book for about an hour or so. I am starting to read The Fountainhead for like the umpeith time since my senior year of high school. I have vowed to read it to the end this time though, it really is an interesting read I guess. I don't know if its Ayn Rand's philosophy, writing, or her characters that give me the eerie creepy feeling the most. I like some of the points, but then at other times I am like wow. . . some viewpoints we hav here.
Okay back to today. . .I woke-up and watched the regular Saturday morning shows like I usually do when I can like a ten year old boy. I watch Thats so Raven, The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and Phil of the Future. Phil of the Future is defantely my favorite because didn't every guy want to be that cool? Okay then I read some of my book and even took the dog Bear out for a walk in the snow. I watched the movie House of Flying Daggers that one of my friend's from China gave me for Christmas. I think its a beautiful movie and pretty cool!
Then I got to cook the chicken I had marinating in the refegirator from yesterday. Pollo Rio Negro, it was chicken breast marinating in some white wine, carrots, onion, rosemary, bay leaf, and salt and pepper of course on the chicken. Sound delicious doesn't it, you should've smelled it while it was in the oven. Then I made a sauce with lemon juice, water, sugar, and grated apple to put on top and to cook on top of the chicken to make it brown. Wow! I am going to have to make this more often and I ate it with the chicken in a bowl and all the juice like a soup or something. And then had a glass of the same white wine I used to marinate it with for my drink. Okay I am not a vulgar person or anything, but the perfect romantic meal includes something like I cooked tonight. For example, the food was good but it made me so hot that I took off my shirt to eat it. What can I say if you are with that special person. . . and you are looking for a night of passion then cook something tasty and warm that will taste good and make people want to take clothes off go for it! Who needs afrodisiacs? Okay, enough about that little thing about food, but food has the potential to hold a lot of power in positive and negative ways. I like to think about wonderful food and the taste and everything it can do.
Wow! I just realized what a change this is from my last post about how food is evil and I don't want to get fat. . . that was a little bit exaggerated if you know me because I am really skinny. I ran Friday morning though and let me tell you that was a reality check. I am so far out of shape. . . I had to stop and walk up half of a hill on one of the streets. It wasn't even really that long of a run in the first place.
So, I talked to my dad today. My grandma (his mom) is in the hospital they went in and had suregery on her and looked inside behind her stomach. They are pretty sure she has cancer but thinks its isolated or at least hope it hasn't spread to the bones. If it has the prognosis isn't that great for her, but she'll most likely start radiation on Monday. I do not know really what to think she is a great Christian lady, but at the same time has never been that close to us. She never calls and sometimes doesn't act like she wants to see us. My mom has the stomach flue and has been sick for like a week now. I am not sure if the kitchen is done yet in the house yet, and I am pretty sure no one is done with Christmas shopping, inclding me. My mom's parents are going to come down on Christmas day I guess and stay maybe until New Years. How wacky is my family and my extended family getting to be at times.
Okay thats about it all I am going to write now. . . I am going to watch The Sound of Music tonight on TV. I really like that movie but haven't seen it in a long time.
