Thursday: my pecan crusted chicken tenders came out very well. i had a small dinner party and served chicken tenders, a salad, mashed potatoes, and apple cinnamon cake.
Friday: went home to Boremont for Father's day.
Saturday: we bought my dad one of those isotonic memory pillows, a 208 cd case, and a self-propelled lawn mower. my brother asked me to come to a wedding his girlfriend was in because he didn't want to have to sit by himself. it was an outdoor wedding at this quaint little bed and breakfast place. the wedding was held outside. i thought the whole thing was gorgeous. this is only the second wedding i've ever been to. i wasn't that impressed with the first one i went to but this one was very nice. still, it seemed like such a waste to spend 12,000 dollars for only 2.5 hours of a day. charmaine, my brother's girlfriend, caught the bouquet. the reception was also held outside next to the gazebo the couple were married under. the wedding cake was delicious! oh, i almost forgot, they had a chocolate bar at the buffet. there was this chocolate fountain in the middle and fruit on the side. after sticking a fruit with a toothpick, you ran the thing under the streaming chocolate. yummmmy.
Sunday: we had a steak dinner at jeremy's house for father's day. jeremy cooked up some huge medium rare steaks and his mother cooked potatoes, green beans, corn, and toast. i brought the salad with my new recipe for dressing. jeremy and i headed home around 4pm. i was exhausted by the time we got back and we had to get some grocery shopping done.
Monday: i went to school around 8am. we're in production mode right now in my studio. the first half of the studio is about designing furniture. i'm making a kitchen island. i spent most of today learning how to use a bandsaw, a drill press, and a sander. i was working with metal so i have shards of metal all over my clothing. at first, was really scared of the "wood shop" but now that i'm learning how to use the equipment and getting some practice in, i think it's really fun.
i had to order more metal today because two pieces i got were too short. i went to pick them up after finishing with school and got to the metal shop too late. 3 minutes late! doh. anyhow, jerms is cooking up some gumbo and i've changed into my "after school" clothing. i can't go around wearing metal shards. :)
i like the fact that the woodshop is only open till 5pm because it means that i get to go home and rest at the end of the day and not worry about having to work some more.
i have to go pick up the steel from the metal shop tomorrow before heading off to school. i also need to remember to pack my own lunch. they have a mandatory lunch break between 12-1pm every day so that people don't work in the wood shop on an empty stomach.
i'll post pictures of the wedding later. it's time to eat.
