silent_rock's Journal: food, books, mom

I went grocery shopping this morning, which is always a saddening affair, because every time I am done shopping, I look at my new groceries and there is nothing interesting to eat. Everything seems unappetizing at the grocery store. Or too much trouble to cook. Or isn't on sale. (haha) I made Moroccan Couscous to use up some couscous, onion, garlic, carrot, mushroom, raisins, lemon, curry powder, chicken broth.

Yesterday I wanted to sell back a couple of books to Moe's but then Jess wanted White Noise and atao wanted About a Boy so in the end I was empty handed. But K received some credit and I used it to buy Roadside Geology of Wyoming. YEAH! (I am very excited about using this book in a month.)

Had my weekly phone chat with moms. She was really on a roll today. Not in a bad way, I didn't feel like throwing the phone or anything when it was over (sometimes that happens). But the usual topics came up, are you going to graduate soon? (no); are you eating enough? (yes); are you eating too much? (no); are you thinking about your life? (yes); really seriously thinking about your life? (yes, ma); etc. etc. Her birthday is on Tuesday. I continue to acquire her characteristics such as being psychotic about dust (I wasn't psychotic about dust when I lived at home and she yelled at me to dust things more), wiping down the sink, etc. etc.
