Ugh, how is it that I feel like there is no time in the day to do stuff?!?!!??! The wedding is over, my condo is sold, I should have TONS of time! I'll be off work for a week and a half over xmas, so I'm looking forward to that and hopefully will feel more settled once the new year starts. Also need to make sure we can that cleaning lady or service hired and that will be nice!
So tonight missy came over and we attempted to make these truffle candies....only semi-disaster. We made three truffle flavors- peanut butter, chocolate, and chocolate mint. The mint was like a cake batter consistency, so was a little nervous...but we froze it and it formed into a ball somewhat nicely. Then dipped in 3 different kinds of chocolate we had. This is where it looks like a 3 year old did this, so we were getting really discouraged on how to get them more round and smooth looking. Oh well, decided just need to practice and next time will go better!
Last week we went to U of I for the Vandy/IL basketball game and IL won huge! It was raining and so cold up there, so quite miserable trying to show dustin and maurit a good time. Since it was a tues night though there were great bar specials! Apparently Kam's has country night on Tues so everyone there had on flannels and boots-- quite different from the days when we were there! Can't beat $1.25 16 oz drafts though! We ate dinner at PapaDels and then also hit up FireHaus, Clybourne, and Brothers. Dustin described the night as an "out of body college experience." Dustin didn't think he ever went out on a weeknight and maurit could remember a couple times....so they were questioning if anyone would be out at the bars. We get there and dustin is like- these people are acting like it's a Friday night....doesn't anyone go to classes or study at this school?!?! I just think everyone needs to go experience a big school....so different and so much fun!
So Christmas will be here next week and we hardly have any present bought....so that will be tomorrow's task! I guess cause I feel like I've had no free time that I just don't feel that excited for it this year. I'm sure it will be fun, but usually i'm all excited for it and enjoy the anticipation! Probably cause I don't have great gifts for people, I just feel bleh about it all.
We had a xmas party last weekend and it was so great using so much of my new wedding gifts! We used the punch bowl, the beverage dispenser, party trays, food processor, ice bucket, etc! You know you are old and boring when you mention a party and talk about the kitchen items you got to use!
Ok, well it's late and I'm exhausted and need to get to bed.
