magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

i had the urge to bake pies today.

i spent the morning figuring out / estimating / wildly guessing at my tax information so that i could fill out the financial aid forms that needed to be filled out and submitted by today. i'm always a little amazed at how i managed to survive on the money that i made. my mom helped out some while i was in school. but it seems that the first half of the year, while i was in austin, i should've been living under a bridge or something.

and somehow i manage to continue eking out this middle-class existence.

so after dropping the forms in the mail this afternoon i stopped by the store to try and find something to make for dinner and had the urge to bake pies. i didn't get around to it until about 1030 (i'm home, i had to watch buffy), but i made a fake cheesecake, a pumpkin pie, and a mixture of the two with the leftover fillings.

i'll find out tomorrow if they came out any good. but just the baking itself is kinda fun.
