Freezing

Okay - so it's freezing at work and my chili isn't keeping me warm. I used a cubanelle, jalapeno and habanero in it too, so it does have some heat. Borderline too much for people who don't like the heat, but fairly mild for me. I could use a little more - maybe half to a whole additional habanero. I don't find the jalapenos to have enough heat unless you really load them into the chili.

Work is the usual - not requiring much brain function - which continues to drive me insane. I spend much of my extra brain-time contemplating food and recipes. *(see allysfoodieblog.blogspot.com for additional food-related thoughts)

Waiting on pricing to replace half of the roof on our house and also getting rough ballparks on vinyl siding. I prefer the kind that resembles stained cedar shingles, but don't know if that would be a realistic choice. Hopefully the guy gets back to us and we will be ready to make our decision on the roof soon... and figure out if we're saving towards traditional or cedar-shingle look siding.

It only takes a moment

Well, it only took a second or two from the time I logged onto my computer this morning and my first "I'm gonna KILL someone" impulse.

I know this seems as though it's a non-sequitor, but it's not. I hate two faced people. They belong in one of the lowest levels of hell. I think I need to re-read the Inferno. If only for shits and giggles, but I think it might be cathartic.

Thankfully I have TechRepublic emails with great photo galleries and interesting Geek Trivia to get me through this week. And a very select group (MAYBE two people) here at work with whom I can sneak a 5 minute venting session.

Next Food Network Star

So I entered the Next Food Network Star competition and I can't wait to hear back from them. I don't know when to expect to hear from them, if I'm even chosen, but that would be SO COOL even if I just get into the semi-finals.

Haven't posted much lately because of general, rampant stupidity at work. More on that later.

And I didn't end up with a new car and the old one crapped out again. Great!
