happy thanksgiving, happy eating, happy cleaning...

what great fun weekend. so much food, though i could use more sleep.

thursday:
had to work in the morning. well, chose to work. i figured that since i wont be doing anything until later in the day anyways, might as well work in the morning and get some extra overtime pay and tips! woohoo. then afterwards, i ran home to a spinach pie to bring to calantha's for thanksgiving. she had invited me and jay to have dinner with her family and her very metrosexual chiropractic brother. dude, there was SO much food and i think i just went into a food coma after dinner, after we watched "bringing down the house." calantha is an AWESOME cook and apparently she whipped up and took charge on most of the dishes with parents' assistance. there was the heart attack turkey (massaged and stuffed underskin with butter and things), heart attack mashed potatoes with bacon, stuffed shrooms, corn, homemade stuffing with spicy italian sausage, peppers (interesting!! never had stuffing like this before!!), my spinach pie in real pie form, tangy cranberry... yum yum, am i forgetting something? course, then desserts included tiramisu and pecan pie. buuurrrrpppp.
heh heh, her house is so asian with much asian artifacts, much like a museum. pretty!

friday:
friday was not so exciting. had to work most of the day. i then had a nervous breakdown about my housewarming on sat night. why? well, none of the furnitures i bought from ikea was assembled (ahhhh!)! my apt was still a *HUGE* mess and full of dirty mess. i had to bother polishbasia with email about my party jitters. blah! i kept thinking, oh no, i still have to finish my grocery shopping, what if i run of food, what if i run of drinks, what if my apt cant hold most people, what if people think i am stupid???? ahhhh!! i spent most of the night cleaning and building furniture. got like 3 hrs of sleep. oh well.

saturday:
had to work in the morning though my mind was not with my body. afterwards, did some more last min grocery shopping. RAN home and tried to finish cleaning, unpacking, and hiding my sh*t! ahhhh. this must sound silly, but- i moved into my apt about, hmm... say, 2 months ago? i literally did NOT unpack until friday night/sat afternoon! i unpacked some clothes that i'd have to wear to school, office items, kitchen items, personal hygiene products, and thats it!!! ahhh!! of course, as always, i was way behind schedule. i was hoping to start prepping for food around 2 or 3. i didnt finish putting things away and shower unti almost 5. yay to barby and petey for coming over to help me! poor petey, he had to do dishes...
the housewarming was a good time. i was happy, and i hope people had fun too. there was a good turn out of friends and their friends, yummy food, and some bevs. i made my spinach pie again except i layered it on sheets of phyllo dough this time and buttered the top crust. turned out just fine. yay!!! i felt bad because i felt that i couldnt talk to any one person for more than 2-3 min at a time!!!! i would be talking to someone, then seconds later someone from the other end of the apt would be yelling for me! waahhh! and polishbasia and southsideandy finally met "calantha from blog" and vice versa. no one from starbucks showed up. oh well. i didnt really invite anyone except for laura, jamie, and courtney. and while i was talking to courtnye yesterday, paul was there so i thought i should invite him too. i knew jamie wouldnt really show up as he often doesnt- when i used to go out with erin, jake and others over the summer. i was somewhat disappt'd that laura didnt come; she told me today that she had to stay late at work and got too tired. oh well. i got to see my friend ellie, whom i hadnt seen in ages since she teaches in baltimore. i even made my famous sangria just for her (she always claimed that it runs out before she gets her hands on it) but she didnt even finish her glass!! light weight! :p OH! and i ran out of regular vodka, absolut madrin, and stoli vanil! i was SSOOO embarrassed!!! it was a good time though seeing everybody and also many things put away in my apt. i now can finally walk from the front door to the frige in less than 5 seconds (as opposed to the 30 seconds climbing over boxes and bags before).

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! i was happy.

and who knew a simple frige could cause such comotion and be so many topics of conversation! ha!

people were so nice and brought me nice, pretty things.
and of course some booze and things.

tomorrow is back to school again. its our last week of school before finals. ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
