and flex! and point! and flex! and point!

ya gotta be flexible in this topsy-turvy world. at least that's what i've learned over the past few years. every time i've gotten used to my life, something has happened to turn it upside down. i think i'm just now getting used to how the only thing constant is change, and it's becoming easier to adjust.

i was telling andrew just today that it's weird how uneventful changing jobs (back to the vet) has been this time. i'm sure it's because i'm used to working at the vet during breaks from school, and that it'll wear off soon enough, but the hardest thing about going back to oberlin has just been finding things at the office (everything's been moved) and getting used to being exhausted when i get off work again. i think the two things that have suffered the most from the transition have been my cooking and cleaning - as in i haven't been doing much of either!

today though, andrew took the day off to spend with me (since he'll be out of town on business wednesday through saturday), and we did a little of both. we went to the hardware store and bought bunches of stuff, then bought the entire contents of two grocery stores, tried to go to the bank (but of course they were all closed), came home and cleaned and cooked for the rest of the night! it was great to hang out with my hubby all day :-)

oh, and since i promised:

pics of the FABULOUS short ribs i made last week. yes, slightly greasy, but fall-off-the-bone tender and deLISHious!

and the undertaking of tonight:

eggplant parmesan - not the same great recipe i used a while ago, cause i couldn't find it, but almost as good.

now it's off to dream of snow and hope it's enough to keep me home from work! east wake academy just canceled class for tomorrow, so i guess that is one bummer about working at a place that doesn't close at the thought of inclement weather :-P
