another potato-less sunday.

its been 2 weeks. sorry, potato.

ch-check it out

6 hours and 40 minutes until i am in aspen.

this is unreal. i seriously nearly lost my mind out here. i cannot believe i am leaving this place! AHHHHHHHH!

one more countdown: 10 days til i see my brooke :o)

the potato has sprouted some new appendages. i accidentally broke one off during our photoshoOt. 

this is our last sunday together... and, i am sorry, but i need to throw it out. i cannot travel with it. hasta la vista, baby.

2 more days.

its saturday. mid-seventies and very breezy. i went for a pedicure this morning, and ended up getting a manicure as well... i figured i should celebrate the absence of manual labor these next couple of weeks. perhaps the color on my nails will last longer than 2 days. 

i am almost done with boxing up the remaining miscellaneous artifacts i have tried not to accumulate while out here. then i need to jump on this extern bullshit and be done with it. for good. ugh. 

that is all. i just felt like blogging for a moment. hope i didn't bore you. :o)

yesterday

was my last day of work. i'd say i ended on a goOd note, food-wise. i served up a garlicked flank steak, roasted asparagus with balsamic drizzle, and a smoked gouda baked penne. everyone really enjoyed it.

other than that, my last day was shit. i was hoping to be completely done with that kitchen and that damn lumpy rodent potato of a man, but nooope. he won't give me my verification letter. all the fucking letter has to state is that i was at my externship site for 600 hours and 18 weeks. i don't understand what his freakin issue is. so now, on top of packing, i have to worry about this bullshit. its ridiculously assanine and unnecessary.

furthermore, no one even knew that yesterday was my last day. i don't care, i don't need a big to-do, but i was informed that for the l

ast intern they had, they had a cake, and gave them a knife kit, and made a big little party for their last day. i don't get it. what did i do to any of these people? and that fat asshole didn't even acknowledge my last day there either, he didn't conclude on any note. ugh. and the situation here is so ridiculous that it is unreal. no one would believe it, i would sound like the crazy one. WHYYYY must chef briggs be in italy right now?! i NEED her!!! 

ugh. fuck this fucking place. i'm out in 2. ima just git it done.

yogurt marinated chicken kebabs with spiced couscous & cucumber salad.

sweetening the deal.

friday is my last day in that kitchen, AND pay day!

2.3.2009

sweet potato sunday had to take a back seat to the super bowl. i think the pink appendage is beginning to wilt... 

in other news, i have begun packing up boxes... but its a little difficult because i plan on shipping my whites home at the end of the week as well. i don't know. i'm very nervous that i am going to forget something. also, i gained about 10 pounds on sunday, and now i am sad that i am going to feel like a big fatty going to aspen... though i do have 6 more days to repent. :o) 

oh, and as far as my resolution. i really think it was a neat idea, but i just don't want to do it anymore. its toO much of a commitment to take a picture of something every day and then sit down and blog about it. plus, i don't really fancy having so many pictures in my blog. so we shall see what i continue to photodocument while in oklahoma, but i can't promise much. though you will be seeing my thursday and friday lunch specials. wish me luck!!!

ps- people are still talking about the shrimp i made 2 weeks ago! HOLLA! 

i opened my eyes to february.

finally i am filled with a sense of overwhelming joy, and calm. it feels as if my heart is filled with the feeling of spring. the sunshine, the flowers blooming, that spring smell... a much welcomed change from the suppressed anxiety and impatience i had become so accustomed to.

:o)

speaking of anxiety... i needs to get to packing!
