Twitching Cat...

...is awake. I think he heard me typing about him. Just thought you'd like to know.

Fin.

There is no good title for whatever ramblings this post entails.

I haven't blogged in awhile. Sorry. I've just been so busy with work (that's a lie) and you know, sleeping just about the entire weekend (that's not a lie!). OR, I'm just lazy and don't have much to say. Boo that.

Side note. There is a cat's foot on my shoulder right now.

Have you seen Taylor Swift's video "Mine"? Would you buy her as a mother? Yeah, me either.

I've had Cee-lo's "Forget You" in my head since I heard it on Glee on Tuesday. Then I heard it on the radio today and got all giddy. It's a good tune...ooo oo ooo forget you!

Remember that cat foot I mentioned before? It's twitching now. I think he's chasing squirrels.

The end.

Updates and a Recipe

Hello internet friends! A few things have happened since I've posted last. A few weeks ago President Obama was on campus and I was one of 3 elected managers to help work at the event. Yay. There was so much work involved just for us to sell some snacks, but I got to meet some people that work with the President in the White House, some secret service agents, and I got to see him live, even though he wasn't much bigger than my pinkie finger for as far away as we were from him. But it was the first time a sitting president was on our campus in 100 years, so it was kind of cool to be a part of history.

Husband started working at a former job of his again. They called him, I'll have you know. Apparently they let the 18 year old shift manager go (reason Husband quit in the first place) and because they were idiots to let him leave in the first place, they offered him a job again. Yay! More money in our pockets!

I was 3 feet away from Paul Molitor last Saturday. Shame on you if you don't know who that is. Google it if you don't. Psh.

Work is incredibly frustrating lately. I was thisclose to shoving a Bic in someone's ear today.

My friend Julie asked me for a bread recipe that I make in my bread machine - this was after she mocked me for not already owning a countertop mixer. Poor people can't afford expensive appliances! And the bread maker was a Christmas gift about 3 years ago....anyway. Here's the recipe cause I think she's just dying to get her hands on it! I use the bread machine to knead and rise the dough and then I finish it off in the oven.

Rosemary Bread
1 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp dried rosemary
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Place ingredients in pan of bread maker in the order shown. The yeast can not touch the liquid before it starts to mix! Follow the directions that come with your bread maker. Select the white bread cycle. Start.

Mine beeps 3 times when it's time to remove the paddle, and this is when I remove the dough from the bread machine pan. Then I place it into a bread pan and put it into a preheated 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.

It makes a cute little loaf of bread and is mighty tasty. Just ask my sister.
