Day Two

So today I applied to three jobs simultaneously. I am really hoping this works out. The application process for the public schools in the area was all linked together so that this applying to multiple jobs can be done. It was a little strange, especially when it came to writing the cover letter, but they should know what they have done, so I shouldn't look like an unknowing fool, right?

I hope so. That's right, agree with me. It wouldn't help to disagree with me at this point and cause me to have a panic attack when it's only been 30 minutes since said application was applied.

That said, thank you Facebook for making the whole ordeal much less disagreeable. Do I care that you now choose which updates I see? Well, sort of, because I am now curious as to what I may be missing. But no, not while I'm trying to find important contact information in messages and such from my references and you keep finding pop-ups because it's oh so important that I know what's going on right this minute. Here's an idea, when you update at inconvenient times without warning, let me decide when I want to figure the new system out. Stop making decisions for us all, hm? That's all I have to say about that.

Well, family of mine. Dear friends. I am pleased to say that I successfully cooked a beef roast in the crockpot for the second time. I also made gravy, for the first time. And it worked. I think. Okay, so it could be thicker but I'm pretty sure since the roast was marinated in wine the idea was for it to be an "au jus", and not thick gravy. But I'll work on it. At Thanksgiving. So be ready to show me how.
Note: I figured out how to make a roux and added it to the gravy, it works, it's fantastic. Maybe I can teach some of you how to make gravy. Ha.

Anyway, that husband of mine loved it. And I think ate more than he could handle. Oh, I also made carrot cake, but without coconut and pineapple, at his request, and well, it didn't turn out so well. Turns out those are important ingredients, and if exempt, the cake is the consistency of a brownie. Still tasty, not fluffy. I don't feel bad, it was an experimental cake. Better luck next time.
Note: I ate some after my initial post. After having time to sit covered for several hours it was quite soft and very tasty, despite the brownie-like texture.

Well, I am off to maybe clean, but probably procrastinate on that a little longer and let the chores pile up more. Maybe I'll unload the dishwasher and call it a day. Netflix is calling to me, with that cute show I love that my man claims he can't handle any more of. I am also nearly done with Pride and Prejudice. The completion of the reading of a book, we all know, is very pressing and the highest priority of all. Right?
Still procrastinating. I'll have time to clean tomorrow and Friday. Plenty of time.

Well, that's what I'm saying for now. Blog #2, done. Love you all.
