parents in town=eating a lot of food

Well it’s been a week exactly so where to start?

During the week I made this amazing pumpkin bread. Like really good. Its really good toasted and then with just a spoonful of ice cream. Oh my goodness. I made muffins of it too because I had so much batter. Needless to day it was gobbled up.

I cleaned the apartment pretty well because my parents were coming and I want them to know that I don’t live in a COMPLETE pig sty only a partial sty that has lovely fall flowers and smells of lavender. Also I bought an African violet to brighten up the kitchen.

If you haven’t noticed by now I have become a housewife.

So in revolt against this slow transformation I checked job listing and saw that an Italian eatery needed some lunchtime help. And I know I wanted to stay away from food service but I’m desperate and at least I kind of already know what I’m doing. And I have an interview there on Monday, which is tomorrow. So that’s good.

My parents came into town on Friday night. I was so stoked. We went first to this place that I knew had great thin crust pizza and that’s my mom’s favorite so we went there. And then we rented two movies- Transformers and Spiderman 3. I know ridiculous choices but at the same time kind of didn’t want to have to think. And we got some booze too. Not too shabby when hanging out with the Grifs. So that night we just watched transformer and drank beer and champagne and cider. Then the next day was our two-meal day because the meals were huge. For brunch we went to Flat Top where we made our own pancakes and omelets and French toast. My parents liked it. THEN! We went shopping around I guess… to target for whatever and my dad wanted a U of I button up shirt. So yeah and then we started watching the U of I vs. Ohio football game. And oh my god we won. Amazing. Ohio was ranked number 1. And we weren’t even in the top 20 teams. Students started gathering at the alma mater being buzzed from the game and also from the beers we had all consumed. It was fun. My parents, Matt, and I had gone to a bar to watch the game too. Then we wasted some time before going to the hockey game where we won again. It was just a sport filled night. And afterwards we went to Papa Del’s. Incredible deep-dish pizza was consumed by all. Ryan and Jeff were there too! Good times.

My parents left this morning- boooo! But hey I get to go down to Texas in like a week for Thanksgiving. I’m also excited about that because I get to see Stef and my brother! Yay.

I need to throw away my pumpkin because it’s starting to grow mold.
Also I’ve decided putting lotion on your feet really stops squeaky shoe syndrome- that is, of course, if you’re not wearing socks.
Curb your Enthusiasm finale tonight- bittersweet. Because it’s over but I can cancel HBO which costs $$$$$.
