Win and Fail

Yesterday evening I was just sitting in the basement of the place I'm house sitting, when I hear someone come in the house. I'm freaking out...who the fuck would be coming over? I grab a broom, it's the only thing I could find, and I gently move across the room in the basement towards the corner where I could hide in the dark. I hear the serial killer coming down the stairs...

I'm just about to swing when I recognize my Uncle's friend Jeremy. Then I remembered that he was going to be stopping by the house sometime during my stay here to get a few things. After apologizing for nearly killing him, I quickly shot off a text to the person responsible for such a fright (you know who you are). Between the lightening and me being paranoid, I barely slept.

Last night there was a major storm. I guess we didn't get tornados, just bad winds, but when I drove into town to pick up the groceries there were roads closed with huge, and I mean HUGE, trees down in them. My folk's yard went most unscathed, but the neighbors had a huge tree go down.

I cooked all day. It was great. Sugar cookies, Rice Crispy treats, chocolate truffles and loaded mashed potatoes that just have to bake tomorrow. But the one thing I was most excited about...the chocolate covered bacon...was a fail.

I burnt the chocolate dip. The bacon wasn't crispy enough, then the grease mixed with the chocolate and didn't set. It was an epic fail. I'm kinda bummed, because when I made the text strips for myself they worked out great. Fucking shit. All that time and effort wasted. Crap crap crap crap.

Anyway, I need another nap before CROPSEY tonight! I have to go into town in a little bit and meet with someone so I'll miss the first airing, but at midnight I will soooo be showered, curled up in my bed (cuz I have to drive back into town to watch it) in the dark watching Cropsey. It'll make me happy. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong today.
