Open for Business

Well, since I've had a few of you ask where the heck I am, I guess I should speak up.

Present!

Anyway, I really don't do the whole blogging thing anymore.  Life is actually going on and I'm experiencing that, rather than just posting the latest funny joke (which is pretty much all I was doing). 

But I'll give you the latest news in a few seconds:

1. I am now a Certified Massage Therapist. 
   - Completed the whole school thing in just over three and a half months.
   
2. Been seeing someone for 6 months now.  He's wonderful.
   
3. Been seeing a lot of theatrical-type shows lately:
   - Wicked (2x)
   - Jersey Boys (2x - San Francisco cast is better than the LA cast, just FYI)
   - Twelve Angry Men (with Richard Thomas *John-Boy from The Waltons* and George Wendt *NORM! from Cheers*)
   - yet to come: the real Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons, Avenue Q, and much much more.
   
4. Recently spent a great long weekend in San Francisco for a mini vay-cay.
   
5. Still at the same job I've been in for three years now. 
   - Not liking it so much.
   - But also working at a massage center and earning extra cash.  That's my fun job.

That's pretty much the basic lowdown. 

I still read all my subscriptions here via emailed daily thingamabob; I just don't really feel that xanga fits me anymore. 

I can be found regularly on MySpace.  If you wanna keep in touch with me, shoot me some messages there.  Bye for now!

Christmas Tequila Cookies

1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup (two sticks) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups dried fruit (dried cranberries or raisins)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups all purpose flour
1 bottle Jose Cuervo™ Tequila (silver or gold, as desired)

1. First, sample the Cuervo to check quality.
2. Take a large bowl. 
3. Check the Cuervo to be sure it is of the highest quality. 
4.  Pour another 4 ounces in a measuring cup and drink. 
5. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of the butter in a large fluffy bowl. 
6. Add one teaspoon sugar. Beat again. 
7.  At this point, it is best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK. Try another 4 ounces, just in case. 
8. Turn off the mixerer thingy. 
9.  Break two leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, picking the frigging fruit off the floor. 
10. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a screwdriver. 
11. Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity. 
12. Next, sift 2 cups of salt or something. 
13. Check the Jose Cuervo. 
14. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. 
15. Add one table. 
16. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. 
17. Greash the oven. 
18. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
19. Don't forget to beat off the turner. 
20. Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

Massage Anyone?

I know most of my friends on here aren't local to me, but I thought I'd throw this out there anyway....

I'm starting my intern hours at the Massage Center where I go to school.  I'd like to get my friends in there to work on, if possible.

You get a 50-ish minute massage for only $25. 

Can't really beat that, right?

Not to Toot My Own Horn...

...but toot toot!  heh heh

Roommate Scott asked if I would help with making some cookies for his boss for Boss' Day on Monday. 

Stipulation:  they have to look like McDonald's foods.
(His boss eats McD's everyday, so he thought it'd be funny.  He even got real wrappers & cartons to put the cookies in.)

Check out what I came up with:

Fries, Burgers, and Chicken Nuggets


without "cheese"

with "cheese" (royal icing)

I'm very happy with the outcome.
