I moved this weekend. I have a cute apartment with checkerboard tile in the kitchen and the bathroom. In the process of moving, I found out that I have some amazing friends. Not only did they show up to help me lug all of my boxes from one place to another, they stuck around the new place long enough to unpack most of said boxes too (that could have been because we waited an hour for some pizza, but who knows?). I feel so lucky to have such great people in my life!
In not really related news, my trusty TI84plus finally carked it. It survived several semesters of calculus, and physics, and even made it through physical chemistry. I guess the disappointment of now having only to help me balance my check book was too much for it! I still remember the day I used the quadratic formula solver for the first time. Sniff.
Having successfully moved into my new place, I naturally had to try out the oven. Below is a chocolate chocolate chip cookie-a recipe I've been meaning to try for ages. It's a winner.
My new Kitchenaid is also a winner. It is pictured below in my new kitchen, with some cookie/brownie bars that were also winners. I used the sweets as an excuse to knock on some doors and try to meet my new neighbors. Only one was home...more sweets for me!
Lastly, I got told about a chocolate walk today. This is one of the best ideas I've heard of in a long time. It's kind of like trick-or-treating for grown-ups. Participants receive chocolates from businesses in a downtown area-it's an endeavor to advertise for the local shops. I see it as mild exercise and (almost) free chocolate.
I can't believe it's almost February! One more month and I will have been in Texas for two years...two whole years of bad drivers and amazing BBQ. All in all, life is pretty good.
