Up Yours!


that's right - Up Yours! - and it's directed at that bitch i just dealt with....
honestly. i know it's the holidays. everyone is stressed - especially those having to work and deal with crazy customers. having worked retail for a number of years i completely understand this. it is why i go out of my way to be polite and nice to workers when shopping and i expect to have that treatment returned - especially when i'm spending a good deal of money.
i don't want to be talked to like i'm 5. i don't want to be told how part of my gift sucks. perhaps if you didn't charge an ass, arm and a leg i wouldn't have had to do the work myself! (and for the record i was pretty impressed with my handy work considering i'd never done it before!)
i'm already stressed. the house is still in moving shambles. the baking is not done . the presents are not done. i'm fat. yet i am attempting to make the best of it anyways. this bitch just pushed to my wits end. had i not felt like crying i would have personnally told her to shove her attitude where the sun don't shine and to crawl back into her hermit shell where she belongs. also - that the 800 years of smoking she's been doing have done nothing for her looks or her annoying voice.
ugh. i'm trying to let it go but seriously - some people should really really really just fuck off.
** and for love of fucking pete - when i put spaces in between chunks of writing i expect them show up and not mush it all together.

Sharing? What's that??


i think i've made it fairly obvious that christmas is my favorite time of the year. one reason - baking. i love to bake.
tonight i made cinnamon roasted almonds. i had intended to share these by putting them in a few goodie bags. yeah....not gonna last that long (and keep in mind i made 2 pounds worth...) they're good! and super easy....
what you need:
1 pound of almonds
1 egg
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of cold water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
what you need to do:
preheat oven to 250
whip up the egg white and water until fluffy. stir the almonds into this mixture (don't be grossed out - it just looks like your mixing them into a bowl of spit). once well coated combine sugar, salt, and cinnamon. coat well.
spread nuts on cookie sheet and bake for an hour. enjoy! (and trust me - you will :))
