St. Patty's Day

So today is St. Patty's Day, and in honor of which, I was hoping to impress my roomie with an awesome corned beef and cabbage dinner with potatoes - one of my favorite dinners!!

I busted out my crock pot (which may just be one of my favorite bday presents ever!!!) and started assembling it all around 9:30 this morning.  Then the first problem arose....how much water do I add?!  I text my dad...no response, so I go to that lovely thing we call the internet.  Every site said so the meat is completely covered. So I went along and did as I was told.  Then problem 2.  WHEN SHOULD I ADD THE CABBAGE?!  I always knew my family to just put it in at the begining...but this website said to put it in later so it doesn't get too soggy.  So I wait, and get a response from my dad saying it's alright if the cabbage isn't covered.

Then, I go off to class, impressed with myself and pumped for my awesome dinner to come.  After Genetics (which was particularly intersting today) I went to the rec ( I WILL LOSE THIS WEIGHT, ya hear?) and ran a mile.  I don't know if it's because I've been add an incline ( a whopping 2 on the treadmill) but I have been struggling with it a lot more than I thought.  I know it'd been about 3-4 weeks since my last good run..maybe 2-3 weeks, I can't remember...anyway it's been a battle, but I'm pushing through! (holler!)

I come home, and the first alarm goes off.  I am not met with the awesome overwhelming apartment filling smell of corned beef.  I look in my crock and my corned beef is grey!!!!!!!!  Now I know that can't be normal.  The little bugger still has about an hour left but I'm nervous.  I'll post pictures of the result.

Outfit post to come!!!

update: alright, it's grey on the outside, pink on the inside, but hard as a brick.  Corned beef you will be the death of me!!!!  But, on a good note, the cabbage looks delicious!!! yumm-o!
