Beeks' Place! Beeks' Place!

Because I never post! I was really just thinking of deleting this blog. I'm hopeless!

Part 2 of Becky's Chicago Adventure will have to wait (if anyone's actually interested in reading it, that is...). But I thought I would post this holiday treat for everyone! Matthew and I made this late last night. At one point, I didn't know if I'd be able to finish making it because I discovered a centipede/cockroach/alien bug crawling on the wall, and I got a bad case of the heeeeebie jeeeeeebies! I regained my composure though, and we were able to churn out this lovely masterpiece, complete with Fireflower/Link roof and Mario, Toad, Mega Man, and SMB3 leaf gingerbreads! Enjoy!

Somebody left this receipt on the counter at work today! I was going to throw it away, but then I noticed the purchases!!! Solid!!


I like how at the end they decide to switch it up and get EGGS!

Today is Flag Day! Today is also nearly one month after I last posted, which is just not right, because the posts should be flowing! Perhaps it is all the Pokemon and painting attempts that have been keeping me too busy! Here are some other things that have happened:

• I botched another cooking attempt! I have boiled something over 5 times now in the past couple of weeks--hamburger helper, pasta salad, and now mashed potatoes! I was even watching to see that it didn't boil over, and as soon as I took it off the heat, milk, butter and water erupted forth like some sort of monster! And then when that was over I slopped half of it onto the fridge and floor while trying to stir. BLAH.
  
• Instead of moving to Chicago in October, I am moving in JULY! That's right! In just a little less than 3 weeks I will depart, and I am very excited! I am also experiencing a heavy influx of lectures and such from family members about "staying true to yourself, remembering your roots" and things like that. As if Chicago was out to corrupt me!
  
• I also got my schedule figured out! I will be taking an array of fun classes, SUCH AS Costume History, Survey of the Fashion Industry, Textiles, and Clothing Construction 1! And I'm getting a sewing machine soon, so now I can finally make those pants I've been wanting to make!
  
• The Humane Society has been quite lovable. Today I went into the Cat Condo and immediately had a fluffy gray and white cat launch himself onto my shoulders, where he wrapped himself around my neck and purred quite loudly! It was like having a live shawl!
  

I forgot to mention in the midst of my Flag Day celebration festivities that it is also my BIRTHDAY! I got a number of great presents from Matthew, including a tiny Yoshi in a Go-Kart that zooms around if you pull it backwards and let it go! I brought it to work today so I could make it go from my counter space to Deborah's, another person that I work with!

I will try and post more frequently--after all, I will have scads of stories once I move to Chicago!

Also--nothing is worse than plopping down on the couch with a nice pot of Spiderman Macaroni and Cheese and spilling half of it all over the floor!
