As I said in that thread, I wish I hadn't followed orangeblossom's link. That entire collection is gorgeous but definitely not something I could do in this house. I assume the lack of price's means I can't afford it.
It's a very H&G day here. Outlets were switched out and we should have the sink and the surrounding cabinets installed by the end of the day. I am trying not to get my hopes up though because it's been delay after delay since we moved in.

I want to make chocolate shaped like game controllers for my friends (I have molds). I want to use better chocolate than the Wilton melts but I'm not finding instructions that give me starting materials & I'm pretty sure I can't use chocolate chips. Help? Bonus points if it has booze in it.
My dept is having an open house in a few weeks. Dude in my "team" said I don't need to print off examples of my work (or other team members) we only need to show a flyer he made that outlines his work. I'm trying to figure out how to respond.
An acquaintance has a band and they are performing their rendition of an entire Bowie album tonight and I'm super excited to seeeee!!
Also gonna meet some friends for drinks after.
I feel accomplished today after meeting a goal for dissertation writing, getting set up on mint.com (thanks for the suggestions, ladies!), bringing H lunch at work, and getting ideas/inspiration for the crazy outfit I will be wearing on Thanksgiving.
Background: My mother decided she wanted people to wear sweats/pjs on thanksgiving (my parents host), instead of typical nice outfits. The caveat is they must be "creative" and the best outfit wins not having to do the dishes. I fucking hate doing dishes, so I'm in it to win it.
So far, I plan to hit up Jo-ann's to grab some stuff to make an adult version of this: , which I plan to wear with some brown leggings and a turkey inspired no-sew tutu, kinda like this:

Bimbi, you'll look amazing! I wholeheartedly approve of your parents dress code. I need to tuck that away for next time I host. You'll post pics somewhere in the community yes?
Shopping with my mother is like shopping with a 3 year old. We left at 3, had to go 3 places....3 1/2 hours later, I'm home. Granted, it was crowded as fuck everywhere with everyone acting brand new at every store, but still. 3 1/2 hours.

Mockingjay part one was ok. I'm annoyed they're waiting an entire year to release part two.
I agree, just OK. Definitely not as good as Catching Fire. I don't think they made the right decision with splitting into 2 movies, this felt like it was all just setting up for the next movie. Even though I didn't like the Mockingjay book much as much as the first 2, I'm still looking forward to the last movie.
I freely admit I hated Mockingjay the book, but I was perplexed as to how they would split it into two movies. I didn't think there was that much stuff to work with.
But I haven't seen it yet.....
My weekend plans were wrecked by way of a stomach bug (not me). That and I'm all worked up about my interview the other day, wondering if I did poorly.
to what? It was slow. I agree with pp. They shouldn't have slpit it in two. Andplusalso, yes apparently part two isn't coming out until Nov 2015 per that imbd whatever it's called site.

Oy. She's gone. That was ... interesting. She somehow got on a tangent and insisted that all black people pronounce "ask" like "axe." And then insisted its not racist because its true.
DH and SIL are fighting because the inlaws want to eat Thanksgiving dinner at Bob Evans.
Why on earth would anyone want to eat a Bob Evans ANY day, let along T'giving. I'm not opposed to eating out on T'giving, but...Bob Evans?
I swear that is the only restaurant they visit. I feel like I'm being a brat about it. I didn't even say anything when FIL insisted on getting the heat and serve Thanksgiving meal from Kroger a couple of years ago, but I think this might be worse.
