Happy Belated Thanksgiving!
I'm back! Wow, I did not realize how long it had been since my last post until I actually viewed my blog. Shame, shame on me. So sorry to disappoint my faithful readers (i.e. Luke), but I guess I have been busier than I thought.
The holiday was a good one. I traveled with Boy Wonder to Alabama to meet his family. Yes, you heard that right. I actually traveled to Alabama. . . willingly. He is from such a small, small, small town. I'm not kidding. The population is 25. And that's on a good day. I enjoyed meeting his family though. They seemed nice enough and they seemed to like me. His nephews were just adorable, although not nearly as adorable as my niece and nephew. It was weird being in the same house as him and not sleeping in the same bed, but hey, they're old-fashioned and I do respect their rules. I didn't necessarily mind being in that part of the country for a short period of time. You know, it allowed me to get in touch with nature and all that crap. It was also a much needed vacation from the daily grind of my two jobs and grad school.
I did bake for his mother. Yes, me. I baked. I have become such a Food Network Addict. And I would totally do that Italian chick on that channel if I were to do a woman. Hey, Boy Wonder asked what my type would be and I guess she's it. I don't know why I've developed the sudden interest in cooking, but I have also developed the sudden realization that none of my cookware is good enough. Dammit. Thank goodness Christmas is coming up. But the brownies that I made for his mother did turn out rather tasty. Thank goodness because my last attempt at baking a year or so ago was a disaster. I think cooking relaxes me or something. Or maybe I've realized that cooking is a whole lot cheaper than eating out all the time.
So Boy Wonder and I survived the meeting of his family. It helped that his family is a LOT less crazy than mine. He doesn't agree, but it's like the saying goes: "The grass is always greener on someone else's mother." When we got back into town, we totally made up for lost time with the separate bedrooms thing. I swear, my sex drive rivals any man's. Boy Wonder even had to tell me to stop thinking with my penis. I try and I try, but I just can't. Today is our 4 month anniversary and unfortunately, we are unable to be together. I was asked to work an extra shift at the shelter today, so I'm pulling a double. With Christmas coming up, I need the extra money. Now, I just have to try to figure how what the hell I'm getting people in the middle of all my stupid school assignments. Bah.
