So, I work as a fill-in custodian at a college. Being that all the students are gone, so is the trash... 8 hours and I managed 1/2 a bag of trash. Awesome.

I diddled in the world of plarn yesterday. ... I love the concept and the whole recycle and reuse thing, however... I was not so loving of the way it behaves. Acrylic crochet hooks are a no no because there is so much plastic friction happening.

Made perogies with Jeremiah and his family. I had a wonderful time. The filling was Sausage and sauerkraut. Very Yummy. I don't have any Polish lineage in my family so I was happy to experience the tradition with them.

I wont lie... I am very tired. Gotta love the night shift.

PS. I think I am in love with Google Chrome.

You come out of surgery and gradually you recover. It could be months, maybe even years. Until one day you wake up and realize you don't hurt anymore.

PS. Craftyness.

Moustaches.

Does anyone else think that jasmine is amazing? Jasmine tea and chick-o-sticks at work.

Holy crap. So tonight I work from 10:30pm to 7:00am. Which I am used to, having covered this shift on and off for the past year. The afternoon guy (Bob) leaves at midnight and the vacuum guy (Memphis) leaves at 1 am... I was sitting here just now and I heard doors opening and closing... O_O I looked out in the parking lot and it was just me... I was really confused. Had someone gotten in the building? Naturally, I get up to go check it out. ... ... ... Turns out Memphis had fallen asleep in one of the rooms and I can't see his car because it is parked to the far side of the building by the shed. Oi.

Somosas.

Friday (November 19) I had to run to the bank in Lansing to pay a bill.  So I took my bearded friend Alan with me. It was a really nice day. Very laid back, just hangin’.  Although somewhat rushed because I had to be to work at 3:30 that afternoon.  First we had to stop by our banks in town to mess with our moneys.  My bank was just a bank; however, Alan’s bank came with free travel size lotion. Jealous? Yeah, I know you are.  From there we left for my bank in Lansing, listening to the polka radio station as well as munching on blue-raspberry licorice and Wanda’s oatmeal cookies on the drive. We went to the Hobby Lobby so I could pick up a few crafty supplies. On the way into the store we were discussing the Salvation Army bell ringer that was sitting outside.  I put some change into the bucket as we passed and so not to look like a completely horrible human being next to me, Alan did too. Hehe. We discovered some neat things whilst there. I got earring blanks and a pack of small wooden beads for 50% off each.  Alan also discovered the entire aisle of paintbrushes, which he liked because they had a selection of very fine tipped brushes that he needed for painting his mini’s. I also bought Armour Etch glass etching crème which should prove to be delightfully fun. From there we went to Olga’s for lunch. I ordered a basket of snackers and a Mediterranean sandwhich and Alan ordered a Thai steak wrap which had mangoes on it. Yummy.  We fully intended on having leftover snackers, however they were so yummy we ate them all. Needless to say, we were a bit full after that. Our last stop was at the Oriental Mart. I found some Calamansi fruit soda (fizzy juice) which was awesome! Calamansi, Yuzu, and Kinako are 3 flavors I love but are really hard to find in the states. I picked up some somosas and sesame balls off of the ready to eat hot lunch cart as well.  We also hooked Alan up with some Asian food goodness this day. We got him a little bag of rice, curry, udon, and yakisoba noodles. So, at least for a while, he should be set. We drove back into town and I got ready for work. Alan came to hang out with me for a bit and helped me with the recycling which was nice. All in all a very good day.

New project: Making Somosas.
