Dream, beauty, burning.

We Interrupt This Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Trip For a Message From Our Sponsor, the Dramallama

I was going to write about Sunday and Monday, but I’m not up for it right now. Maybe tomorrow.

You ever think you kind of knew someone and then realize that the person had a totally different side? And you couldn’t make sense of it? I’m having trouble fathoming a person’s recent actions and I’m really realizing how much I need to distance myself from this person. Right now it’s kind of tough but I think God’s offering me an escape route pretty soon. This is good because this person, whether they realize it or not, is just going to keep hurting me by their words and actions that I cannot comprehend. I thought I knew what was up. Now I have no idea.

(Yes, I know it is improper to use “their” and “them” to describe a single individual. But I refuse to specify gender or use that he/she crap right now.)

Sorry for the lame post. Tomorrow I’ll get back to my trip. Or Friday. The next post will be about the trip.

I’M KICKING THE DRAMALLAMA OUT OF MY LIFE!!! ARGH!!!

More Bento!

Today’s bento: (no photos, sorry) Leftover chicken with garlic cream sauce, leftover skin-on mashed potatoes, banana yogurt, applesauce, and… mini marshmallows.

Tomorrow’s bento:

Top: 5 little tomatoes, cheez-its, applesauce. Bottom: Orange chicken, sugar snap peas, brown and wild rice. There will also be an 85% dark chocolate demitasse from Godiva in the lid.

Yay!

The weather is on a roller coaster around here and I feel like I’m on an emotional roller coaster right along with it. I wish we could just transition from winter to spring, but this is St. Louis. I’m learning and accepting some things about life right now and it’s a little roller coaster. Also, the dramallama is still up to her old tricks at work. Thankfully I got to talk to Scott, who is extremely reassuring and helpful (and reading this right now, so THANK YOU, SCOTT! YOU ARE FABULOUS!). Friends are great.

Slow Day

Quoda — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:19:15 +0000

Today was a slow day at work. Not the bad kind of slow day. It was a good slow day. I saw two families multiple times in the building. It was like seeing old friends or something.

However, someone hired the drama llama because man, the staff drama is totally ridiculous. It’s like high school. Ugh. I think I need to hide from staff tomorrow, impossible as that will be with all the meetings.

My bento was every bit as lovely as I thought it would be. Tomorrow’s is leftover chicken with garlic cream sauce, leftover mashed taters, banana yogurt, applesauce, and… mini marshmallows. My cutesy little fork fits in the lid, which is good because chopsticks are great with veggies and rice and chicken, but not so much with other things. Oh, the veggies were amazing. If you go to Trader Joe’s, pick up the vegetables in balsamic butter sauce. It’s in the frozen section. It’s awesome.

I also had a chance to make dinner for someone last night. This means I’m pining even more for my own place. I want to cook for people. It’s fun cooking for family but I really want to have a standing night that I cook for whichever friends show up. But I must be patient. I must wait till May. I am paying better attention to “For Rent” signs. I think I will start photographing them when I get the chance so I can review my options.

I got my vote on today! Hope everyone did!
