It's my birthday! Yes, I am 32, no turning back, I'm an adult. Oh, well, that means I can have an adult beverage to celebrate, right! Tequila anyone?

Places I've applied.
These are some of the locals I've applied for jobs throughout the world:
Japan, that's right, across the sea -- to teach English, won't know anything until at least Feb.
L-town, can't believe it, but it's true. Have a phone interview Tues at 6:30pm.
Plano (Dallas) TX, warmer weather, praise the Lord! Haven't heard a word.
Can't remember anything else. Know there are others, but things begin to blur together, ya know.

Addictions
I have successfully succeeded in passing along two of my addictions to my friends. Fortunately they aren't rehab-worthy, but full of joy -- I promise!
Those addictions are scrapbooking and tea. I clinched the tea deal with Chris last night when I took her to the Tea Source for sample night. It was so fun! We tried oolongs, which I have decided are not for me. We then tried a pot of the Almond Brittle, not as good as The SpecialTea's Almond Cookie (which is amazing with some milk and sugar!) and a pot of a new herbal, Lazy Susan, which was great!
Time to go home, maybe make some soup and then have a nice cup of herbal tea (so as not to keep me up) and do some reading. Still deciding if that will be for fun or serious. hmmm. Decisions, decisions...

Soup's On!
I'm really into soup lately, which is good since winter has definately arrived here in the Frozen Tundra. Having friends over for a nice bowl of soup, conversation, games, maybe some wine or tea, nothing beats it on a cold night. (OK, so there are things that beat it, but let me have this.)
So far we've had Tastefully Simples' cheesy broccoli with sausage, potato & bacon and this week we're going to try a corn chowder (which if I remember correctly, has potato and cheese, how bad can it be?) and some baked acorn squash that looks tastey. We'll see.
Wild rice soup and some new, as well as tried and true, chili are in order soon.
I'm tired of having all of these recipies and not using them. Printed off a bunch of hot choc. recipies lately and can't wait to try those as well as enjoy all of my tea with friends. Yea!

Are you normal?
So, my friend, Chris, was telling me about this odd little quiz and so I had her email it to me. Unfortunately, my work will not allow me access to the site, so you all get to see how normal you are and just let me know. Can't wait to see if you are all as abnormal as I think you just might be.
