Happy 21st, Josh.
You’re now legally allowed to drink in the United States. Just don’t drink and drive—you might spill.
I’ve known Josh for 2 & 1/2 years and over that time he’s grown to be one of my closest friends through all our ups and downs.
Toast tonight to Josh!
Oh yeah. Today was my 10 year anniversary at Meijer. Yay me. If I hang in there 3 more years I’ll have 4 weeks paid vacation.

So I had my tooth pulled out today. My gosh, was that a weird feeling.
Numbness is wearing off. Taking two vicodin. Going to sleep.
In the meantime you can learn about impacted wisdom teeth, wisdom tooth extraction, or play with the 3D Mouth.
I made this tonight… so good when it’s cold outside… and so easy to make!
From the Ministry of Food:
Embassy Chili
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoonful chili powder
1 teaspoonful crushed red pepper
1 teaspoonful black pepper
1 teaspoonful seasoned salt
1 teaspoonful garlic salt
1 large onion, chopped
1/8 cup brown sugar
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 can (16 oz) stewed tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
1 small can sliced mushrooms
1 pint ketchup
16 oz beef broth
16 oz water
Brown ground beef, chopped onion, green pepper, and spices. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring often. Add the rest of the ingredients in succession and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least an hour, stirring occasionally.

This is an alteration of my mom’s chili recipe. She used to make it from mostly canned goods, with home grown tomatoes we’d canned earlier in the fall. All of it comes from stuff we always had on hand. I remember coming home from playing in the snow with the smell of chili cooking on the stove filling the whole house; warms me up on any cold winter day.
As I made the recipe myself I added the brown sugar for some sweet notes to balance out the heat, and mushrooms for a meaty texture to go along with the ground beef (and I love love love mushrooms), and beef broth to make it heartier as well. It’s great served with some colby-jack cheese on top and saltines!
Life without Curtains.
Well I’m pretty much all moved in. I have some stuff I need to get from Adam’s still tomorrow. Jenni was late showing up to pick me up on Friday; someone parked behind her and the roads where shitty. I got a picture of the inside of her car, though.
The receptionist at the dentist’s office was a nasty cunt about me being late, so they made me reschedule. I guess I just don’t get that part, the roads were snowy, etc. And she was a bitch about it! So I’m going to have them do my tooth and then I’m finding another dentist. At least the pain is gone.
Dad came down and dropped off my dresser and a TV stand. Val made some great bean soup. I still need to put up curtains but they need to be dry cleaned first. So as soon as I have money for dry cleaning and curtain rods I can put them up.
I sort of like the idea of a life without curtains. Sort of what this blog ends up being… open, exposed, not hiding behind anything. Maybe a name change is in order. Hmm.
That’s all I can do tonight. You’d think I’d blog more now that I have internet at home… but nooo…

| Your Birthdate: June 20 |
 You are a virtual roller coaster of emotions, and most people enjoy the ride. Your mood tends to set the tone of the room, and when you’re happy, this is a good thing. When you get in a dark mood, watch out – it’s very hard to get you out of it. It’s sometimes hard for you to cheer up, and your gloom can be contagious.
