Now I'm currently waiting to go pick up my dress for my brother's wedding, which is this coming Saturday. I'm praying and hoping that she did a good job with it and didn't mess up my Vera. That and I'm pretty sure I'd be toast if I messed up the dress, but that's besides the point. We are leaving in 2 days, as in 48 hours will have me and Chris on a jet plane heading east. :) We'll get to stop by and see friends for a day or so (Chris will get to have 2 days with them, as Friday I have wedding things to attend to) and then we'll do the wedding. The rehearsal is Friday night, and then the wedding is Saturday afternoon with the reception starting at 5. I'm really excited about seeing my family and seeing this all come together. It has been a busy few months for all the planning, but as is typical with a wedding, it is nice to see the finished product. You'd better believe that next week there will be several more wedding pictures. I have a charged battery and will take the charger with me to NYC. :)
I think I have my food stuff figured out for this week in NYC -- its quite simple really. Simply survive off of S'Mac. I'm not sure if I posted anything about S'Mac after my NYC trip two weeks ago, but let me tell you, the stuff is simply amazing (so its so good I'm writing about it twice because I'm salivating thinking about it). Its good -- no fantastic -- mac and cheese. They can make it gluten free (check one) and then add only stuff you want (check two) plus they don't believe in preservatives (check three). It comes out in a cast iron skillet (they use separate ones for gf pasta -- check four) and is creamy, cheesy goodness. I ordered mine and then had it halfway done before my friend parked his car. I hadn't really eaten a lot that weekend, but still, that's how tasty it was. I originally ordered the larger size hoping to take some home with me on the plane the following day. I ended up simply eating it all, so I starved the next day on the plane. I may only make it once in my several days in NYC, so I'll order several things "to go" and eat mac and cheese all weekend. Ah, I better be careful though or I won't fit into my perfectly tailored dress.
Overall this past week was interesting. On Thursday Chris sliced his thumb open at work. He ended up with 5 stitches in it, but it is healing nicely. We're planning on taking them out this week while we're in NYC, because we're pretty sure we can do a decent enough job, if not better job, than what they've done. The doc who sewed him up, well, let's just say I hope he was a first year resident or an intern. I've done better stitching just about any time I've had to sew anything.
Still no permanent job offer for me, so I'm working more at the college next term. The term starts Oct 12 and runs until Dec 16. This means that I'll be free for the holidays at least. I''ll do two sections of Earth Science and one section of Physical Science -- Yay for physics and chemistry. :) I'm excited enough about the Physical Science that I started working on powerpoints for the course today. I'm done with the first one, now I've only got a few more to go. I can only dream about hearing the screams. I'm also kind of concerned because it looks like several people will earn bad grades this term -- something about missing tests and not turning papers in. Who knew right?
I also figured out how to make a chocolate cream cheese frosting/icing to put on stuff. I made some more of my friend Katie's vanilla velvet cupcakes and wanted to try a different frosting, but didn't have any butter. It turned out really really well -- ultra creamy. I may not ever make a frosting with butter again, I may convert to using cream cheese or a comparable cheese. That makes it healthier right?
Well, time to go see if I fit into my dress at all I suppose.
