Last Day of the Month, October 31st


This month is literally almost over. In fact, October has been a whirlwind. My family has already done Thanksgiving's menu and the guest list. This was the first year we had to have a guest list, seemingly the non-cookers want to invite extra folks. I guess I need to do a "20 reasons to be prepared to drink hard on Thanksgiving when the family gets together to eat". Somebody is going to get mad. I personally am going to chill. Me with 4 days off from both jobs is a feat to be enjoyed. So no worries.

My hair is doing nothing. It ain't locking. Doesn't seem to be growing a lot. It is boring right now and it doesn't help that on my last wash I just didn't feel like braiding it for a braid out. Now I wish I had. Oh well. My last retightening was short. She only had to do the back. She has challenged me to do two rows in the back. We will see. She also wants me to do a blurb for her website regarding taking her Retightening class and my ability to do it. Problem is I might have to explain I got issues due to my need to be a perfectionist and there was no way I was going to allow my hair to defeat me. We will see.

I put up a new food picture. Just so my sister can be mad, again. She hates when I send her pictures of new dishes. Drives her crazy. Don't know why though. LOL! The dish is Sweet Thai Basil Chicken and I got the recipe from Darius Williams' food blog, Everday Cookin . I tweaked it a bit. I used green bell peppers, because that is what I had, added some onions and sesame seeds as well. Yummy. It tastes even better the next day. In the comments I was asked about the recipe for the Chipote Shrimp and as soon as I can just sit quietly and do it I'll write it out. I have problems w/doing measurements. That is why I am not a baker.

Tuesday is the day. Make sure you make your voice heard and VOTE!

Have a great weekend!
