God, being a White Sox fan is painful. Lately, I can't even look at the scores without cringing. :p
Tea time was fun time today. So. Much. Food! I'm still stuffed beyond belief. Random thoughts that came out of the afternoon:
Tea is actually quite good, when it's actually done correctly. (and with cream and sugar) Not quite as addictive as boba, but definitely not as bad as I'd previously allowed myself to believe.
I think that clotted cream is not quite my thing--I had some on a scone, and the scone was yummy, but I don't think that had anything to do with the clotted cream. ::shrug:: This is probably a good thing, though, what with my ongoing cheese addiction.
Before today, I think I'd all but forgotten how to be around women. It wasn't too difficult to slip back into it, because there was a time when I'd hang out with all-girl groups pretty often. But, I suddenly realize that I've been spending pretty much *all* of my time around men for several years, and my life lacks most anything resembling girl-talk. I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm worse off for it, and anybody who knows much about me knows that I have a huge aversion to chick drama in general, but it's interesting that I landed at this stage without taking any real notice.
Chicks are also not as scary as I'd previously allowed myself to believe. I still have to remind myself every now and then that the new ladies I meet are *not* going to start venting about what a heinous bitch I am the minute my back is turned. (it's happened more than once before, so my paranoia isn't completely irrational) But everyone was very sweet this afternoon. And now, the healing process can begin. ::laughs::
Being asked if I had any children was a little terrifying--I'm not even married, and I'm too broke to even have a reasonably pretty wedding, much less support a child. :p Having kids sounds pretty terrifying overall, at this point in my life, but maybe that's due to the silent influence of the folks I know that might fit in nicely at
childfree. :)
Anyway, I went to the store earlier and got a bunch of food, and I'm actually trying to plan out dinners for the week, so I quit eating such junky food all the time. Having a full-time job has made me pretty lazy about the whole cooking thing.
Speaking of lazy, I still haven't cleaned the kitchen. ::eyeroll:: Bleh.
