What's up, everyone? If y'all know me, you know that I procrastinate on EVERYTHING. This blog is no different (haha). I wanted to write this post on Thursday and make it a "Happy Birthday" post. Then I was going to do it on Friday. Then I was going to do it yesterday. So here we are, with a new blog post title because "Happy Birthday: 3 Days Late" just did not sound great. Addressing my procrastination seemed like a better fit. Anyways. This week has been SUPER busy. I started working mornings at The Cookie Jar. Everyone knows I'm not a morning person, but my philosophy has been that I will get up early in the morning if I am getting paid an adequate amount to do so. At The Cookie Jar, I go into work at 6:15 am. It's rough. It's dark. But once I get there it's not too bad. I think I just need to get better shoes because my feet feel like they are on fire all the time. They hurt so bad. My classes are going well. I love my Criminal Justice classes. The teacher, although online, is absolutely phenomenal. I get super awesome feedback on all my work the same day I turn it in (most of the time). He is awesome. This week has been filled with a lot of great food. Monday, my uncle and I made two dishes: banana cream pie cheesecake and goetta. Goetta is a German-American dish that originated in Ohio. It's a mix of ground beef, sausage, and steel-cut oats. You season it, let it cook down until the water is absorbed, then freeze it. Once frozen, you cook it up for breakfast dishes. I actually ate some that we made yesterday and it was wonderful. We also did a really yummy chicken stir-fry that had green beans and mushrooms. Friday we made beef stroganoff from scratch and OH MY GOSH it was so freaking good. I had seen it on the menu at work and just could not stop thinking about it. Finally, last night he made a beef and broccoli dish with some beef that he put in a bag to marinate the night before. That will be my lunch today since I didn't have any last night. I didn't get off work until 10, so I was not super hungry. I was more tired than anything. Good news: We got my truck up and running. We took it into a mechanic that my uncle trusts. Apparently he is really great and will be able to fix all the problems with the truck. So there is one topic that I have not yet addressed: MY BIRTHDAY!!! My birthday was on Thursday, and even though I had class, it turned out to be a pretty decent day. Liz let me drive the truck around all morning while she ran errands so that I could get in some driving experience on the ice. It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I did happen to slide around a roundabout but we don't talk about that. We did a bunch of running around, found this cute little coffee shop that I would totally study at, and that night we did a girls night. We ordered pizza and got movies from Redbox. Hotel Artemis is super good for anyone that hasn't seen it yet. Overall, a super busy and fairly exciting week. As I mentioned in the beginning, I am a huge procrastinator, which would mean that I have a ton of homework that I have been ignoring. Let's see how much homework I can get done today! Talk to y'all next week!!!
