death.

there are things i'm more afraid of than dying.

out tonight, and i'm staying out until the sun comes up. i'll bring my jacket and my gloves and watch my breath curl up like smoke, except it won't swirl and curl around my lips.

i'm so in love with this world it hurts.

package in the mail today from my dad.

included:
bubble bath
two soy chocolate bars
and last but not least,
a letter :)

milo missing :(

my niece called me at ransom today, telling me she had one of my toys and that if i wanted it back i would have to come get it and play with her.

so, immediately, i went to my cabinet where i keep my toys and noticed that milo was gone. i have to remind her that this is not a toy.

off to shop for mother's birthday/dinner tonight to celebrate. dress wearing will be required.

made cupcakes today :)

totally remember making cupcakes for q on his birthday and james cut his lip on the aluminum of the wrapper.

also made chili and cornbread tonight.

show last night ruled. glad everyone was laid back. plan on seeing forfeit on their small tour with outbreak in two weeks in fort wayne. they have the venue listened and i haven't been able to find an address to match up with it. i remember one time someone telling me about this place and you have to stop in town and ask for directions. sounds sweet. cruel hand, mother of mercy and bracewar are going to be in indianapolis next week at the dojo, which rules because i'm pretty sure it's a practice space. should be a good show.


recipe for the chili :)
1 package smart ground original (lightlife, very good and very affordable)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup green pepper (chopped)
1 cup celery sliced
15 oz can kidney beans
15 oz can black beans
2 16 oz cans of tomatoes (cut up)
6 oz can tomato paste
2 clove garlic minced
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
3 tsp salt
2 TBSP cooking oil

saute the onion, green pepper, and celery. if you have a crockpot, that's awesome and you can put the rest of the ingredients in there and let sit for an hour or an hour and a half. if not, just put in a large saucepan and cook it on medium heat for the same amount of time :)

i'd like to pinch the chinch-ettes, mrraawwrrrr...

haircut and color yesterday. still blonde. very very light blonde. making cupcakes to send to shelby at school. had good talk today with good girls. trapped under ice, cruel hand, forfeit, naysayer show tomorrow. looking to go to chicago to see blacklisted at the end of february.

also,

♫ want prosher pancakes? the secret’s a cinch!
♫ make your batter better with a pinch of chinch!

♫ kids won’t eat their broccoli and spin’ch?
♫ give va-VOOM to veggies with a pinch of chinch!

dad left town today. this time for good.

what a catch.

sigh :)

making fudge. will post recipe later if it turns out as expected.
making a trip to jungle jim's today. stoked to see if they got any new items in but if not, they've always got things that are a rarity in my world. trying to find a store in the area that sells gelatin free marshmallows. park in vine downtown sells the sweet&sara brand on occasion, which is awesome but not very cost effective for big recipes.

trapped under ice, cruel hand, forfeit, naysayer, and rhinoceros show is a week from today. hope everyone remembers that the warsaw doesn't have heat so a hoodie alone probably just won't do. then again, my body temperature is all over the place.

entering a contest to win tickets/transportation to rainfest this year. will be posting entry after submitted. it's a beautiful thing when you lay it all out.
