Boys who cook - Now I am a major foodie and I have a vast expanse of cooking experience. I take classes, I religiously watch cooking shows, and read up on new recipes. So, other people that aren't my mom cooking for me is a bit of a novelty. Sunday was one of those days. There were tacos and strawberries for dessert and a lovely time was had by all.
2 weeks down - I am already a third of the way through classes. It's going by quickly and I am greatly looking forward to having August and September off from classes. It will be a nice change not to worry about homework for awhile. That being said, I'm already looking forward to...
Next year's courses - In the fall, I'll be taking Psychopathology and a special topics course in Stereotyping & Prejudice. In the winter, I'll be taking Research Methods and Clinical Psychology. In the spring, I'll be taking an advanced seminar in the Psychology of Emotion and Child Psychopathology. I'm pretty sure every one of these classes is going to be intensely fascinating and I'm looking forward to taking classes with Sara Broaders because she's kind of a big deal around here.
The P-nut is back in the states - Tuesday night my dearest baby (okay, he's 21 but he's still my baby) cousin, Austin, flew back to Chicago for his month of leave. He's been stationed in Okinawa with the army for the past year and a half and I have never been happier to put my arms around someone. My cousins Alysia and Shayne (and Shayne's roommate, Duncan) and I took him out to Luxbar and Clark Street Ale House and had a rousing good time. On that note, I am too old to be out drinking with three 21 year olds.
Green with Envy - Speaking of Luxbar. Not only is their food blow-your-mind amazing but their cocktails are to die for. If you are a huge lover of gin like me, go there and order the Green with Envy cocktail. Hendrick, St Germain, cucumber juice, lemon juice, and prosecco. There is nothing bad about this drink.
1500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets - I just got a really sweet deal for these babies on Amazon and I am likely to never leave my bed again if I have the choice.
Lazy holidays - As aforementioned, yesterday was the good old fourth of July and, in the past, I have been known to spend most of the day cooking and prepping for parties, partying, and drinking well into the wee smas. Yesterday, I spent half the day in my comfy new sheets and the rest of the day curled up in my papasan with a pup in my lap, a gin cocktail by my side, and an xbox controller in hand. I think it was likely more fun than fighting the crowds outside.
Character research - Tomorrow night I start up my new character in the Changeling LARP. I have spent a lot of time looking into makeup designs and plotting my costume and my hair and my character in general. I need to pick up a few supplies and maybe get a practice run in with my makeup but I am super excited to take her for a spin.
