So normally baking is a total disaster with only half of what I end up making looking perfect so I'd not normally want to share anything I made on any kind of social media but I have to say that this year I TOTALLY NAILED IT.

I'm gonna get my bake on, and I've still got to finish making these cards, so if anyone wants or needs some last-minute really cute Christmas cards, hit me up and I'll show you what I've got!

Did anyone catch that meteor shower last night??? It was beautiful! The snow aspect stinks, so it was a little colder than I would have liked to stand out and watch it, but totally worth it.

Hope everyone made a wish :D

My dog is insane. It's safe to say that Dragon loves the snow. I can hardly get him in the house cause all he does when we get back from a walk is want to roll around in it and try and catch it in his mouth as it falls.

Today is the most glorious day of the week.

Payday which means I get to buy food that I didn't serve.

A question to the internet: what's your go-to comfort food when you want to splurge? The more ridiculous the better.

I can't wait for a NY style pizza, dripping with grease, and an entire 2L of Diet Coke because yeah I can. I'm an adult.

Oh and we can't forget the fudgesicles for dessert.


Hey roomie -- tonight is going to delicious.

I normally don't do this, there's a lost and found, but the woman tipped the bar well last night so this is my good deed for the year.

MJ Watson.

I don't have your number, but I got your bag. You left it on the bar by accident.

The petri-dish I work in has finally made me succumb to the various illnesses attached to the sticky hands of small kids. I feel like I might be dying.

So, does anyone have any novel ways to get better quickly? I don't want to be sick over Halloween and these kinds of bugs always take it out of me.

I hope everyone's days are going alright, but if they're not, maybe this baby polka dot zebra will help brighten your day. My ex-wife used to I used to be told that mixing polka dots with stripes was absolutely taboo, but I think it looks just fine to me.

We just found out what musical we're going to be doing at Uni this year, and it's based on one of my favorite movies! I am definitely going to be trying out for the main character, so everyone please wish me luck? Mom will finally get to see me as a law student, even if it's on stage. Elle Woods! I mean, if I get the part. I shouldn't get ahead of myself before auditions even start. But still, Legally Blonde the Musical! I'm super excited.

Lets talk about the undergarments of the 1800's.

Slimming as ever, but hurt like a hell.

No wonder woman broke ribs, fainted, or their body changed to adjust.

To everyone who came to either concert this weekend, thank you.

And as the concert is now done, along with the hints, I can officially say what show auditions are for next weekend. But first, the hints as filmed by my brother.

( cut to spare the friends list, visible to all )

Yes, that is Jeremy Jordan who showed up. Yes we are going to be doing Bonnie & Clyde this winter. (And yes, Armand is clearly quite excited about this fact).

So again, auditions are next weekend (the 21st and 22nd) with call backs the following weekend (the 28th and 29th) at [theatre]. Then the show itself will run from mid November through the end of December.

Okay.

I'm either having a stroke or ...no, I have to be having a stroke.

All day, out of the corner of my eye, I've been seeing a ..dinosaur? A little one?

And I'm sober today, not even hung over

I might actually break my rule and have a cup of coffee. I'm clearly dreaming.

Pimpernel Outreach is taking donations for people in the Bahamas. Non-perishable foods, clothes, any necessities, we will take it all. I will be having a helicopter make some airdrops to the Bahamas. They can certainly use all the help they can possibly get.

I joked when I came out to my parents, give it a few months and I'll be asked why I don't have a boyfriend OR girlfriend. Because Mom's a housewife and I'm her biggest hobby.

Guess who just got asked "Have you met any cute boys or cute girls yet this year?" You get three guesses, and the first two don't count. She even suggest I cook for them... and do what? Impress them by being the first person to blow up a stove by trying to boil water? I don't have TIME to date. I've got a job, I'm doing a double major, I've got tryouts for the next musical our uni does before long... What free time do I have for anyone? No matter how cute? I mean if someone cute falls into my lap, they fall into my lap. But I've got stuff to accomplish and that's kind of more important right now? Until then, my free time is devoted to practicing, sports, and trying to play through my Steam library.

I misread my schedule, and I'm at work an hour early. I'm not about to start working so here's a little game.

Instead of saying something interesting about yourself, tell me something totally boring and mundane.

I refuse to drink anything that will stain my mouth. I have no interest in having a blue or orange or brown tongue. That means I only drink clear pop, and no coffee or tea.

When I was 16, I got my first job at the bodega down the street. The owner's name was Hassan, and he was a tight fisted kinda guy, who barely paid me minimum wage. $5.00. It was supposed to be a bit more, but I was a teenager getting cash and that was fine by me. My first check was about $150 and that felt like a fortune. I remember spending it all on a pair of Silver jeans and the coolest platform sandals.

Don't judge, it was 2000.

Fast forward to today, and I'm currently making $10 an hour as a waitress. Almost 20 years later, I've only doubled my hourly wage.

To be fair, I've had a lot of different jobs in between of varying salaries. It just makes me curious now about the way lives go. Also, for those of you that might recognize me -- Yes, I'm Mary Jane Watson. Yes, I'm taking a brief hiatus from acting to find myself. Yes, I am happy with my life.

Two of those sentences are lies .

So since I'm on this network, I'm putting it out there: What was your first job and what did you do with your first paycheck?
