Santa's little helper
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I spent the day doing my Christmas shopping. I'm pretty pleased with my purchases, though it's hard to shop on such a tight budget and still have gifts I'm really happy with. I got a weird look when I asked a vendor advice about my half sister's gift ("I need something for a Portugese speaking 10 year old I've never met. Do you think she'd like this'"). A couple of gifts I'm a little worried

"Fat"
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
People online has a new slideshow up of celebrity weight loss "winners." That's fine I guess (though I think Tyra looked better in the slightly heavier photo) but three of the women in their before picture are pregnant. Pregnant is not fat! Pregnant does not count as a weight loss before picture! Are they kidding'

Self pity
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I actually planned my Farmville crops around a job I thought I was going to have tomorrow. This is sad just on its own because it means I spend far too much time online (not that I'm judging anyone reading this. I love you. Keep coming back). This is made sadder by the fact that I am no longer working tomorrow, though thankfully still working the next day. I am feeling a little self pitying at

Rolling my way into the New Year
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I love Christmas. I love buying gifts (not the financial part so much this year), I love getting gifts (oh yes I do. I am five when it comes to opening gifts), I love the food and the good will and getting to see friends and family. This year has been wonderful. I spent Christmas Eve cooking.
I made:
Chicken.
Stuffing. Lots of stuffing. I mean I lifted the skin of the chicken and stuffed it

Chocolate and Caramel covered popcorn

I am exhausted. I don't know why, since all I did was clean a bit today and make the aforementioned popcorn (and send out a resume or two), but I could fall asleep now and not wake up until tomorrow. However! For your viewing pleasure, here is the finished product:
The picture, as usual, does not do it justice. I need a digital camera.
It was pretty easy to make too, though kind of time

Problem
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Remember that turkey broth I made a week or two ago' It's still sitting in the fridge (what's left), in the pot, and it has reached the point that I'm kind of scared to deal with it. I feel like I could re-discover penicillin all by myself in my kitchen.
Or perhaps penicillin's more sinister cousin. Either way, I'm hoping I can get someone else (and by that I mean my bf) to deal with it. Wish

Duggar baby born! Early!
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
My interest in babies, Duggars and dramatic and unusual medical situations has all come together in a big Duggar baby peak. Mrs. Duggar had the baby, super early, and she's super tiny. Like, barely over a pound. While not religious I am sending good vibes their way (I'm sure they really really care). But I am also trolling the internet for more info. I love gossip, and all reality tv is a

Celebrity Updates

Now that I no longer have tv I am sadly behind on certain celebrity/tv show events (like the birth of the Duggar grandkid). I do however have Perez Hilton and People so I am not entirely out of the loop.
Recent celebrity events that I shouldn't care about but do (ergo: any celebrity events):
-Tiger Woods being apparently the worst, most unfaithful husband possible without actually being Henry

Jet Lag
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Despite not having gone anywhere or done anything to deserve it, I seem to be living in another time zone. Or rather living as if I'm in another time zone. Not sure which one, but one that's about six or seven hours behind the one my body is actually inhabiting. And by this I mean I can't sleep, lay awake every night, play internet games until 6, and then sleep until after noon every night for

Turkey Broth
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I've spent the afternoon (among other things) with a big pot of turkey broth stewing. I LOVE making broth. It feels so healthy and wintery, and yet is so simple any idiot could make it.
Holiday Broth:
I've already poured out a good bit of the broth from the pot here to boil some rice in.
Basically, throw in your protein (half a chicken should do, or in this case a big humongous turkey wing

Presents
From Imaginary Compass, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The bag is my present to myself. I'm on a tight budget but my old bag is totally falling apart, so I'm considering it a necessary expense. You can find it at Fossil.com, but is no longer sold in stores since it was put on sale and they "don't sell sales items." Which seems like the dumbest thing in the world to me and resulted in my wasting 2 hours of my day trying to buy it in the real world,
