a new set of knives.

eddie surprised me today more than i surprised him that's for sure..

i called him up because i needed to return the baking dish that they let me borrow to take home excess enchiladas in.. which came out pretty well btw.

and i brought him a chocolate shake and ..

i purchased a carne asada taco..

pretty good.

my descent back to omnivore is going well..

well after the meal.

eddie informed me he had a gift for me.

so he goes out to the car and brings me back a bag filled with knives.

well not filled..

but definitely a great starter kit.

so excuse me for going a little lindsay lohan but i had to take some pics.

sleepless night and endless frights

so nervous about all this upcoming stuff.
which is mostly school and an impending birthday though that isn't really that soon and i hope it takes forever to get there.
i worry so much about the future.
i shouldn't but i do.
like hey let future marissa work it out.
nothing is gonna happen unless i work it out. now.
so i keep repeating that to myself everytime i find myself breathing to quickly or so nervous i can't sleep.
gitters.
i hate them.
so i have a cake to make soon ..
plenty more dinners to make to practice before i start school.
so worried because my kitchen is no where near equipped to handle culinary school.
aaaggghh
i'll get there.
until then cake to make, photo album to finish, and quilt to complete as well..
i'll get there..
