Alyssa's ramblings...

Excitement.

I am so excited! As you know, Monday is Valentines Day. I’m taking the day off work, to cook up a storm for my husband! This is what I’m making:

Appetiser: ‘Cajun Angeled Eggs’ (They’re really called ‘Cajun Deviled Eggs’, but I’m making the holy version).

Main Course: ‘Real Italian Calzones’ or ‘Spinach Quiche’ (depending on whether I can find yeast for the Calzones or not), and ‘Mexi Tatoes’.

Dessert: ‘Easy Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Pie’.

All of these recipes are from www.allrecipes.com. I love this site! It has inspired me. I made dinner FROM SCRATCH three nights this week. Since we’ve been married, up until this week, I think I’d made dinner from scratch once. Or twice. Either way, now that I have found the best recipe source in the entire universe, I just find my dinner on the Internet, and then buy the ingredients at lunch, or after work. AND, on the site you can search for recipes by the ingredients you want, and the ingredients you don’t want. So I can search for recipes that use the things I have in the house, and not have to spend very much money at all. See how much I’m loving this? A lot.

But apart from the fact that I get to cook all day on Monday, I’m also excited because I get to sleep in. Sure, I also get to sleep in tomorrow, but that doesn’t count. Monday is a workday! And I get to skip work, and sleep as long as I want! I’m giddy with anticipation. :o)

Meanwhile, today I saw a guy peeing into the garden at the front of our building. I was going to yell out the window “We have toilets inside, if you want to use them!” but of course, I didn’t. I don’t really have the guts to yell out to strangers while they’re peeing. Or talk to them. Or even acknowledge their existence. Imagine the poor fella, finally getting some relief, when someone yells out at him from an office window. That would be scary. He’d never pee in a garden again. Oh wait, maybe that would have been a good thing!

Do you think that ‘robust discussion’ is code for ‘argument’ or ‘shouting match’? I do. My boss wrote in the board meeting minutes ‘a robust discussion ensued’. I knew what he really meant. I am so using that! When my husband and I argue, he calls it a discussion. I’m like “I don’t want to argue anymore!” and he’s all “We were just having a discussion!” and then we argue about whether it’s an argument or a discussion. Hilarity ensues.

When I wrote ‘hilarity’, it looked like ‘Hilary’. I like Hilary Duff. She’s rockin’. My friend Kristy and I are Hilary fans. Hilary and Amanda Bynes. Yessir.

Sometimes when my boss signs things, I get to sign as the witness. It’s fun. I get to be on all these official documents. I’m so important!

I’ve got nothing to do at work. I’ve finished everything. Hopefully when I come back on Tuesday (not Monday!!!), there will actually be some work for me. That would be good.

I’m going to stop typing now.
