I made breakfast for the Boyfriend�s family on Sunday morning. I highly recommend the recipe. The brown sugar/corn syrup/butter mixture cooks into a caramel on the stovetop, but then becomes a syrup-like sauce when baked. It was truly delicious.
As they were leaving, Betsy thanked me for cooking, then said, �Good to know my son won�t starve.� Gee, thanks. I know she meant it as a compliment, but she has this way of making everything sound like a dig. Whatever. Breakfast was good nonetheless.
Anyway�
It�s been a busy few days. Friday was my first day off on my new schedule�how nice it was to not come in! Made the early mornings worthwhile! Mom and I took full advantage of the time. We got a lot accomplished, including lunch with David�s parents and a trip to the Build-A-Bear store in Attleboro for my cousin�s daughter�s fourth birthday party. I wanted to build a bear myself, but my mom said no�Oh well�maybe next time.
(Yes, I know I�m 31 years old, and I can make my own decisions, and her saying no doesn�t really mean I couldn�t build a bear, but she threatened me with time out!)
I got my hair permed, too. Still not entirely sure how I feel about this. The rest of the world seems to like it. I haven�t had a perm, though, since the early 90�s, when I had a succession of really bad ones! So it goes. It�s easy hair, which has a great appeal. The 45 seconds of prep time is a good thing, especially with my mornings being so early these days. Perhaps, eventually, I�ll get around to posting a photo of it. I don�t want y�all to have this �Jennifer as a poodle� mental image�
I know I have more to say, but I can�t seem to focus this morning. My head is killing me. The Tylenol I took before bed, the 8 hours of sleep, the Tylenol I took this morning�none of it has appeared to help. Consequently, I�m moving a little slowly.
I will say, though, that I went to see I am Sam with Jim last night. Made me cry. A lot. But it was a very sweet movie. Sean Penn was wonderful in it, as was the little girl who plays his daughter. Worth the 8.50 ticket.
More later, perhaps, if I can get my headache to go away.
