I'm Baaack!

Sort of.

Things have been so hectic, and I am actually without a computer at the moment. My computer took a nose dive into a nightmare. One of the wires that controls the power adapter fried completely and I attempted to fix it, and in the process reset the bios battery... Which I actually have no idea what the bios battery does, but it did funny things for the computer, and made me freak out. We are waiting for a new power adapter to arrive so that we can hook it up and I can have a computer, but it is taking forever. It has been over a month and every time that I have to use the computer I have to hip-check Nick out of the way to use his. I feel horrible, but at the same time the computer was old and it was about time that something went wrong, and I am just glad it was only the power adapter.

Other than that, things are running smoothly in my life. We are ready for Christmas to come, our tree is up, and the place is somewhat decorated. We have all of our gifts purchased, and we have plans for the holiday that do not include traveling. We only have to walk two streets to go see my mother on Christmas, and we can relax! Thanksgiving was spent with Nick's family, and it was a little surprising that it was not a complete mess. Everyone was fairly nice, and there were only a few spiteful comments made in my direction the entire day. I am beginning to think that Nick's family really does not like me because we don't travel as much anymore, but I can't really help that I do not have a job right now. I have applied just about everywhere that I know an am really hoping that some of the applications that are reaching their deadlines will finally open up opportunities that I deserve.

I am excited to get back to blogging. I watched "Julie and Julia" and it was about a girl who worked her way through Julia Child's cookbook for an entire year, and blogged about it. It was really good, and I was thinking that possibly I will blog about something useful. Not sure what, but I might come up with something.

Anyway, today is filled with movies while I sit on the couch an avoid going outside in the horrible weather, and baking dog biscuits. My brother's dog is getting a slow-feed dog bowl due to his binging problem which causes him to be hungry all of the time, and in order to make him a little happier about the frustration that he will have to endure for the rest of his life, I am making him homemade dog biscuits. They are mostly healthy, and contain nothing bad for the dog, and quite possibly would be ok for a human to eat! I am going to dip them in a beef gravy "frosting" before I give them to him, and even he will have a happy holiday! Hopefully you will too!
