Monday Madness

Snapfish pictures of graduation came today! Most of them look really really good. Now I have to figure out who is getting what and how many more to re-order. And I still have to put more on Facebook. Fairly low on the to-do list this week, though. You know, moving several states away and all of that.

Thank you US Postal Service for being slow and causing me anxiety in this already-tense application process. Mailed Boston University a writing sample last Monday by certified mail. Online it says nothing other than that it was accepted here in Boca (well, yes, I was there when I dropped it off). Called Boston post office, they dont have it. Resort to calling BU even though I really hate annoying them by asking if they have my stuff. Fairly disgruntled guy tells me "Well, I'll look through this big pile here. Because you know, you haven't submitted an application yet." Long story short- They had it. Yet the Post Office hasnt updated the online thing telling me it was delivered. And I'm working on finishing the BU app as I write (deadline Thursday. No problem). arrrrrghhh.

So yesterday my mom and I made a pumpkin creme brulee mix from Crate&Barrel. Really easy to make and we have the cute little ramekins they are supposed to go in. But we don't have a culinary torch, so I tried broiling the caramelized sugar. Sorta worked but not really. Did form a layer on the top but it started to heat up the actual creme. Totally delicious though. Just need to figure out a different method besides a torch.

Making that pasta, pepper, onion, and chile dish tonight. Second-to-last box from that massive case of 8 pastas. Feeling a sense of accomplishment about it. Then! So much tv tonight. Gossip Girl (I really hope Nate is on), Secret Life, and 24. Oh, that Jack Bauer. I told Pancho last night that I wasnt sure if I am mentally prepared for another season. Its very suspenseful and then I start imagining snipers are hiding around bushes and I freak out driving at night. Nevertheless, last night's premiere was great.

Current obsession : Taylor Swift, though not a fan of her recent performance on SNL. My 14-year-old cousin loves her, so does that make it acceptable to like her at my age? The songs DO have a certain teenage-y lyric appeal, I suppose. Although its probably why I like them in the first place... Whatever. She makes having wavy hair look good.
