Thirteen Days Apart

Its been Thirteen days now since Dustin has left to training. Must I say, Its tough, I'm very attached to him, to his voice, to having him around everyday. I'm not getting depressed just yet, But i was extremely happy yet sad when he had to go after giving me the first phone call today for 10 minutes.
Only Ten minutes, but it was sweet. He was sniffling, his voice dry, sad. I knew he missed me. I love that, love to know that he's also attached to me. He told me he's cried a couple of times, missing me. Miss hearing my voice. I missed his too.
So he told me he's put in the toughest squad, I could hear them calling his name in the background. Hes constantly running around. Having only 2 minutes to eat, scorching down his food every day and Being woken up at random hours. Unable to sleep properly. Telling me its horrible. Oh my poor baby.
But I doubt he was placed in the toughest squad for no reason. Hes amazing, and my man always does his best. I believe in you sweet heart. Two down, 6 more weeks to go.
I hope you remember, this is just the beginning.

Caught Up

i've been so busy and just... moody. Sad that my boyfriend is leaving to Training in a couple of days, went to go visit him two weeks ago, so i should be happy. We werent even sure if we'd get to see each other again before he leaves. So that was lucky.
I hope everythings going to be okay, I'm going to wait for him. ^_^ Love him soo soo much.
Currently have my daughter back home now and mothers gone for a month in Laos, so I've got some freedom and more bonding time with my daughter. Today it just snowed, theres about an 1-2 inches of snow outside. Time to grab the boots and jackets! ^_^.
Wish i could spend Christmas with hunnie, but its okay. :] I just hope him the best of luck.
Thats about it for now, i'm still super lazy.
Oh I did get to hang out with an old friend i havnt seen for a year now. She slept over and we had a little sushi. She was bugging the crap out of Maykala. And got to meet my hunnie. :]
Although i still feel crappy that Dustin came home early yesterday, but i didnt get to spend much time with him because Allysa was over, So im kinda. uuugh, hes leaving soon and i couldve had hours with him =T.
Oh well its done and over. But that little girl time was nice, catching up and her having a new bf also. Haha and talking about sex. hahaha.. :]

Miracle

Ohh My GOD! This entire weekend, a miracle occured, O.o.
My mother did not once talk down on me, nor nag about anything towards me! I know, I am shocked myself!! Yet I still stay on my toes, for once she does =.=" But because of that, I enjoyed my entire weekend stress free! It felt soo GOOD!
Honestly though, I didnt do much, just spent lots of time with my daughter, and rented four movies to watch. They were, Rite, Avatar the Last Airbender (the movie), Thor, and Despicable Me. ^_^ Friends said Rite was pretty creepy, so I watched it with one of my girlfriends, and my god, i jumped like a hundred times! No not because I got scared, because SHE got scared, and every time she jumped, I did too!! So annoying, LOL. Airbender was pretty lame, but I just wanted to see, since I am a fan of the cartoon version. Now as for Thor, that I enjoyed, it had a little bit of romance, and the story line was pretty interesting!
I already returned those three and have yet to watch Despicable Me. Although I have already seen this, it is just the cutest cartoon ever! I could watch it a hundred times and never get sick of it, I really wish I had the movie. ^_^

Now for today, I relaxed a little, slept in a bit, helped do some chores around the house, then went to the mall with daughter and mother, just because well, my mom wanted to. Got some Pizza for dinner, and two decent, but super cheap, dresses today! Five and seven bucks, oh and my mom bought make up from Lancome, so I got the gift that came with it. I'm not sure why my mom is purchasing make up at this age still, shes getting so old... But i'm not going to complain. ^_^ Oh I also made yummy ribs yesterday! Mmmm I want mooore!!

 Outfit Of the Days, Friday and Saturay.

 7 dollar and 5 dollar dress, Random DOMO hat teehee ^_^

Difference

        From our last quarrel, he posted on his facebook status update as
 "sad i couldn't make a difference", to this day, every time i see it. I'm sadden, very very much. How could he think like that? I don't think he understands nor believes how much of an impact he has made in my life, "you are a difference" in so many ways.
       He took my hand and brought me back on my feet, he is part of my reason to keep fighting, he doesn't understand how badly I used to want to give up, even with my daughter, my depression got to the point where it didn't matter anymore, you just want to be selfish, make all the pain and agony disappear in literally, any possible way. Yes I've thought of suicide hundreds of times. But as of right now, my man, makes me want to be better, do better, show everyone that I wont give up, I'm not weak. If he really loves me, can he see that I want to be his woman? I want to strive for our happiness, I want to be perfect in every way, show him that I can be strong, independent, reliable, and lovable. I want to make him love me more, want me more, crave for me in every way. For my personality, for my love, for my reliablity, for everything.
       I wish he could see through my eyes, how his footsteps light my path, I want to follow him all the way, support him through all his obstacles, let him know that I am here waiting. You're never alone, I'm here now, and I've got you, Maykala will have a father to look up to. To be her super daddy. In my eyes, my man is completely amazing, always holding his chin up high, fighting, full filling his dreams, not afraid to chase after anything. Perhaps he really may be afraid, deep inside, but he will still try, and never give up. So smart, creative, daring. I have always admired him, since long ago, he'll never know. Haha, I remember, back in the days, I have always thought he was very very handsome. ^_^ And so smart and everything! I have always thought, til this day, that he's out of my league, and I'm sure he still is. That is why I'm always afraid of him leaving me, leaving me because I'm not good enough for him, because of my problems, my anger, I wonder if he has the patience for me to change, to wait for me to become better...?

        It's late, these are my thoughts for the moment, perhaps I will shed tears to bed tonight.

Rage

So, lately, and just now, me and my man been arguing quite frequently, and thats really dissapointing to us. We usually get along so well, we used to. We're pretty addicted to playing the game called League of Legends together, and lately, been getting mad over that, because apparently we depend on each other too much since we're both great players. We know what to expect, or know what each other is capable of. So when one of us messes up, we get angry. Well, just now, we talked it out. I'm feeling better now. Our goal is to stop getting angry, and learn to just enjoy the game more, thats what games are for anyways, right?
Sigh* to our dumb lovers quarrel. I adore him very much, no more fighting.
And i need to stop running away from any type of arguments, including small ones, listen to him more, and everything.
Okay, i feel better getting this off my chest.
As for the past week, i've been very disapointed on my school work, i have not been doing as much work as i should be, and i really dont want to use any excuses, but here it goes... =.="
Just, tons of stress, and my god, my period is still crazy, hormones still aren't back to normal yet from the birth control shot i took. I got my period twice this month already, stupidly. I also have not been working out as much as i would like to, i feel like i'm soo behind in Everything!! And that seriously upsets me. I want to do better, my motivation is still hard to adjust, but i'm really trying... Lets hope things get better for me next week. I will be getting my permit at then, and earn more credits, yeah?
mmm.. as for good news, not much, my daughter still isn't home yet, and i miss her like crazy, this will be the third week that i have yet to see my baby, but shes visiting family in another state right now, still. I did get new boots as a present, muk luks, thats good right? lols... bfs been super awsome. Thats about it. Love my hunnie, i want us to do better together, get along again. No more trouble. <3

Bye Bye Kookie

*sigh* yesterday, afternoon my pet bunny Kookie died. I'm not even sure how! This morning when i checked up on her, she was still okay. But i shouldve known that she was ill!! Its all my fault, i noticed that she wasn't eating as much the day before, but i didn't think much of it because i thought she just didnt want to while the dogs were around. What was I thinking?!? She usually eats either way! :(
I miss her so much, it was so sad to see her body life less and limp... I cried a lot yesterday, and cried myself to sleep again last night. This morning i woke up with puffy sore eyes, and my body just feels really tired.
I'm still a bit depressed, but theres nothing i can do. I wonder what even caused her death... Did she eat something wrong? I do let her roam all over the house as she pleases. She got lots of exercise and everything! T_T *sigh*
I really don't plan on getting anymore pets til I have my own home now, so nothings in the way, and the house is pet safe. I did realise though that kookies been getting to the dog food a lot, maybe she ate too much dog food? Or it gave her gas and she died from ilea? But I didnt hear her tummy being weird at all...
*shrugs hrug shrug* I'm soo soo sorry kookie that I didnt take good enough care of you!! I love you soo soo much. :(

Motivation!

I've been having a bad week since the previous weekend. Lots of crying and mood swings, moms been bothering me a lot and putting me down. I've been getting really depressed lately.
Til just yesterday, my hunnies always been there for me. I was constantly crying and told him "i wish to be with my brothers", they have all passed away and i felt like i've been left behind. I dont want to put up with my parents anymore. I just want to be happy. He sounded really upset, everytime i'm sad he is too, and asked me, "but dont you want to be with me?". It hit me, he's right, i want to be with him more than anything in the world. I want us to be happy together. 
Before we hung up, he repeatedly yelled. "I love you! I Love You! I LOVE YOU!", it put a smile on my face. I love him soo much, i dont want to make him upset over me anymore. I dont want him to worry. So i'm going to try harder to fight it. Learn to control my emotions, and just ignore my mother.
Wish me luck to be stronger, not just for me, but for my daughter and lover.
^_^

My New Routine & Visitor!

Yaaay, school started! Did i mention that before already? hehe. I'm so happy that i finally get to get out of the house for once! So now that school has started, i am trying to achieve my diploma ASAP. Been trying to go to school about 9 am mon - thurs til 8 pm. I know, I know, 10 hours?! Say Whaat?! Well, i just stay in the study room to get help with packets and there are no distractions, so i can finish quicker ^_^.
Afterwards monday, weds, and friday nights i work out for about an hour, and some weekends i will be hitting the gym. Need to get in shape for my lover. <3
He's so hot, i want to be too! For him that is. ^_^ Oh oh, and i am super super excited that i get to see my man one more time before he leaves to training. Yaay!

Okay, so for today, I got a visitor! My cousins sisters new puppy, a maltese, they still havn't named her, but their parents are visiting so i'll be baby sitting this little bugger for a while.
She's so cute and quite active, reminds me of Lilo when she was pup, except this little girl is white. 

By the way, i love my boyfriend so much. He's been making me unbelievably happy, i'm so lucky to have met such a wonderful man, that i'm so compatible with. I never thought i'd meet someone that shares so much in common with me and none the less, he actually tries to keep our relationship working.
Its absolutely unbelievable how much he loves me, constantly spoiling me with his love and attention, and already acts as my daughters daddy ^_^. I can't wait for our future together, i really do see us working out and staying together...
Hunnie i love you so much. Thank you for everything.

Anyways here are photos of the little pup!

Swine flu

Wow, what a horrible long weekend it has been for me. You read it right, i've been sick with the swine flu. D: Constant vomiting, aching all over, dehydration, and tummy problems =.="
Gosh, my life sucks ass. I'm still feeling pretty exhausted right now, and still dehydrated also, but i really want to get back on my feet!
School already started and i have yet to gone. Grrr, i'm determined to get my goals done for this year, just as my promised my hunnie. So far i'm eating normally again, sorta, have tummy problems still though.
Omg though, sadly, since i've been sick, no ones really been taking care of my baby bunnies for me lately.
Checked on them today and they were so skinny T_T and stinky. Gave them baths and lots of food, currently running around my bedroom right now. Eating and sleeping a lot. That includes me and the bunnies.
mmmm thats about it i have to blog about for now, just filling in the lost days. I'm still fairly tired, body is a bit weak. More sleepy time.... zZzzZZzzz....

Conan

So last night i finally went out during the evening, got to eat my yummy Cafe Rio Taco Salad mmm! And later on the night, i watched Conan the Barbarian movie that just came out on friday.
It was a Gory movie, and i dont take those very well haha... So much blood shed, but for a action movie, it had a bit of humor. No, this time not so much romance. Movie starts off told as a story, and well for the ending i thought it was a bit corny. Not going to spoil it though, but it was a okay movie. If you love blood shed, and gore then its a difinite, i wouldnt say it was a total waste of money either. ^_^ 
As for right now, today i am making a play pen for my baby bunnies. We got another addition and this little guy is extremely hyper, and none the less, not potty trained, so i can no longer keep them in my bedroom. I'll only let Kookie, and as the rest, not til theyre fully litter trained. 
Will be rearranging my room some more today. Maybe i'll put another photo update if i dont feel too lazy. Oh and last night i got a full 8 hours of sleep! Yay! Best sleep i've had for the past.. month! omg. ^_^

Baby Bunnies!!

Yay, finally! A New Post!! Lets start with yesterday, i've been productive this weekend so far. Cleaning house and rearranging my bedroom, i moved my bed and did my best to rid of spiders! Also did some weeding and sprayed a TON of bug spray all over.
But just today i recieved my two favorite baby bunnies, horray! My bunny Lucky had babies, i forgot how many, something like 12? So i got to take my two favorite home, since they stay at my daughters fathers home.
They're about 7 weeks old i think? So i'm not sure what their sex's are yet. But so far i'm thinking of naming the spotted one "Kookie" and the grey one "Dusty" ^_^. (yes hunnie like you, and haha he's a curious little one like you. Now if he turns out to be a girl then LOL.)
I felt a little lonely today, since everyone ditched me, including my own mother lol... so i'm glad i got the bunnies for company today. Daughter is currently staying at her fathers til i feel better.
<3 bunnies bunnies bunnies!!!!


 Moved my bed and added a side table.
 Spotty standing! Isnt that so cute?!
 Then Dusty came to me and stood too! He even sniffled at me ^^ so cuute!!

But yeah the bedroom is still in progress haha. I still have a lot more things to clean up and bring in from the basement. I'm getting there!!

MineCraft

So my friend got me into a game called MineCraft, its pretty awsome, surviving in the wild and getting pet wolves haha. But i didnt buy the game so its boring without a friend. I'm thinking about purchasing it for $15 bucks.
Other than that i've been getting a little more sleep lately, but wow last night i woke up way too many times, so i feel a bit restless today.
Was supposed to mow the lawn, do errands for parents, i hate them being fobs, cause i have to do literally everything for them. *shrugs* Cannot wait until i move out!!! It'd be the happiest day of my life. LOL.
Literally, welps, as for this upcoming weekend, hopefully i get my two favorite pet bunnies home ^_^. They will fill me with glee!! Being my stress relievers! haha.
I'm a bit tired right now, i wish i could just get a good full night sleep. And i absolutely miss my hunnie soo soo much!! D: havn't heard from him for a couple of days now... *sniff*

Loneliness

I've been feeling a bit depressed and lonely today. Don't exactly have any friends close by me to ever talk to, hang out with, or anything. Ever since i had my baby i've lost contact with so many friends, and i'm not able to hang out with them... No one to talk to sure is lonely.
Everyones busy, works, or they have money to actually go out and enjoy things... While, i can't.. =[
Oh well, this is what i get right? i guess i deserve it.... I Guess...
Wish i had a best friend or something that lived near me. Who i could talk to often or something. Not all day and everyday, just time to time... but there's no one... </3
My pets keep me company. I'm not used to sleeping alone, i feel uncomfortable, keeping my dogs near me makes me feel safer. In a way. I have my daughter and all but she's still too little, to talk to. haha. =T

August!

So i have not been posting for a while, not much has been happening. Other than those random crazy thunder storms, so no gardening and such. D: Well today was pretty nice and sunny (atleast in the afternoon til evening) afterwards it started pouring again around 9 pm.
But horray! It's a new month, been away from my man for about 3 weeks now, *sniff*. But i'm being a good girl, just as i promised hun!
Well for the afternoon, took dogs and baby out for a walk around my neighborhood today, felt nice, maykala can peddle her tricycle better now. Been teaching her English words, colors, and shapes a lot more often so she can speak to her new daddy (hope he is) :].
Felt good to go for a walk today, i was happy that Coco my Dobey finally got some exercise, he was so happy running about. ^_^
Didn't cook anything today, a bit lazy. I had another restless night tossing and turning *shrug* but its okay.
Oh also some things i've been thinking about lately. Been wanting to be more ambitious, of course i'm not able to do anything til i start making some money though haha.
But when i do, when i can, some things i'd like to experience and learn would be, going to the shooting range, i would love to learn how to become a sniper, handle all types of guns, then learn how to ride a bullet bike :D. Go snow boarding, be more adventurous. Life's short, i'm not giving up, i will become a good mother and hopefully wonderful wife some day ^_^. Prove whatever wrong, i deserve better, i will earn it. Tour the world, visit europe, japan, korea, paris, austrilia, everywhere with my significant other.
Hmm, hopefully dancing too, hunnie made it so fun when he taught me, now i want to learn and dance with him for once. <3
Thats all for now. In a bit i'll go on my late night jog, trying to get in shape. Although i havn't been jogging much at all this past week. D:
<3 Bye Bye!!

Water Balloons!!

Ah, finally, something interesting happened today. Havn't posted much because there just... hasn't been anything interesting happening, other than the odd weather for the past 3 days, random rain / hail during a sunny day. It felt pretty nice though.
Anyways, friends created a event called water balloon capture the flag, over 70 people said they were attending, unfortunately, not even half showed up LOL. But thats okay, more balloons for us! So we ended up just throwing waterballoons, and if you get hit you have sit in your current spot, right after being hit, you get a 1 min last standing chance, like COD haha. So much fun!! But there were hardly any girls, thats okay, atleast i wasn't the only girl >.<"
So much luck for me and my left arm today though, i got stung by a tiny bee, it barely swelled up for half an hour then dissapeared, oddly. Then i also got two scratches on my left arm for the broken bucket while fetching for a waterballoon. D:
There we're over 1200 waterballoons! OMG, ^_^, this was just a picture of 2/3's of them. I am now, exhausted, none the less i also had a horrible sleep last night, time for my nap! :]

SPIDERS

i keep finding spiders all over my room!!!!!
This is Rediculous, i'm never going to sleep!!!! I need help moving my closet/drawer to check behind it, wheres my man when i need him!?! D: Look at how huge this thing is, its like 3 inches with legs!!! UGH!!!

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Arachnophobia

So i'm Arachnophobic. A fear of spiders, any type, size, color, doesnt matter to me, a baby and i'll still shriek in fear.
Unfortunately last night, about 4 am. Getting in bed and about to sleep, (i've been having a difficult time sleeping due to stress lately) in the corner of my eye i saw a huge spider next to my pillow!
Shrieked, while jumping out of bed. I started panting, shaking, and none the less crying!!
I'm not used to sleeping alone, but i had no one to take care of that thing for me, so i grabbed an empty gatorade bottle to trap the spider in. Ugh, i was shaking while trapping it, afraid it could get out any second. My vision was a blur, but i got it, there were some broken spider legs on my bed =.=" How disgusting, took off my bedsheets and everything. Felt as if they were covered with the spiders germs and such, not sure why, but thats how i feel, if one were to touch me, even if i washed myself with soap, i get paranoid and start scratching myself, feeling disgusted. D: So it was a full grown Hobo Spider, about 2 inches or so. 
Ever since, i have yet to fall back to sleep from paranoia, constantly thinking i see a spider in the corner of my eye, but nothings really there. Heh...
As for the rest of the day, we've been having a thunderstorm since about 4 pm, days been gloomy. I know, raining, in the middle of summer? Well thats Utah for you. Honestly though, i love the rain, so it made me feel better. Nice cool breeze, it felt perfect. Hopefully though, there arent any mud slides this year.
Hmm what else... I made a Black Forest Ham and swiss cheese crossaint sandwhich for dinner. Lol. Didnt really feel like cooking today since i'm tired. Got only about 2 hours of sleep all day.

Nothins

I did absolutely nothing today! Mom took daughter all day today so i tried relaxing as much as i could today.
It was rather gloomy though. D: and started raining for a little while.
But for some odd reason i had a horrible sleep last night! Then when it came to napping i couldnt really nap either... :T
ugh, so lame, i fell asleep once, around 4 pm i think, and had a nightmare.
Dreamt that i was around the age of 24, visiting my family and grandparents in Laos.
Somewhere in the dream, a demon or someone told me that i was going to die soon, just as my brother did.
It was a day before Laos New years, greeting family members,  no one reconized me because i've grown so much, more mature, and oddly became prettier. I saw my grandpa, i was so happy to see him!
I missed my grandparents soo much, greeted him respectfully then gave him a long hug, and started crying, right after my grandma walks in and i also hugged her, continuously crying, as i said "i'm afraid of being with my brothers".
Then woke up in tears and heart ache. D:

Some nighmare that was right? But i makes me curious, i wonder if its a sign, or if it ment anything?
my only brother i got to meet died around the age of 28 i think, i dont really remember, maybe 26.
We weren't very close. =/
i'll be trying t go to bed early tonight, i'll make up for the 365 photo later... not in the mood..

Gardening, Summer project #1

So today i was really productive! I believe i deserve a praise for that! Lols!
Anyways, did some yard work today, just the front yard. I only got half way done though. Father did fix the lawn mower, so front and back yard were atleast mowed.
But as for our front garden, did most of the weeding, and some bug spray all around the home.
During the process though, i freaked! Jumped back and started jumping up and down shrieking!! I saw the biggest beetle ever!!!! Pic will be posted, but zomg, soo ewwwy, it made some weird buzzy noises, and then my dad just whacked the flower with a shovel, and nothing happened =.="
Freakin mom comes in, and just grabbed it and threw it somewhere LOL... haha.. EWWW!!!!

 Do any of you know what kind of beetle that is?!?! ewwwy This is also my 365 of the day #4



 See, doesnt it look so much better after? No, no flowers yet, i'll be going to purchase some another day, its geting late and no store is open this weekend due to being Pioneer weekend in utah. Rediculously though, where's a man when i need one around?!?! I couldnt get that stupid bag of weeds in the trash T_T uugh! lol
Heres also a pic of my baby playing with the water while helping grandma clean the mini fridge, and coco my Dobey being a big baby. ^_^



quick post

its almost midnight, crap.
so i had a pretty depressing day today, i found out that the reason why my vision has been getting worst throughout the years is because i strain my eyes too much, from crying on a daily basis... Heh..
So what was i depressed about today? My mom verbally abusing me again, and i'm trying really hard to be a good girl, and not talk back as i promised to bunny. But it hurts, it hurt a lot, what i disliked even more was when i told her to please stop she continued. In front of my 2 1/2 yr old daughter too, that made me more upset, to think that she's being raised in such a bad environment.
Crap its midnight, i didnt make the post on time D:

Well here's a asian dessert dish made today. I'm not bothering with the ingredients because i usually make it better, but just used what i had around the house today.
Coconut milk fruit dessert.

Not in the mood so that'll also be my 365... D:

Manicotti Dinner

So to start off learning new dishes, i went for the simple first.
Beef and Cheese Manicotti.
It turned out pretty good actually, except for the fact that i forgot to purchase two of the cheese haha. Next time i'll do better!! Added a side of grilled squash just for some vegies ^_^.
Also had a Talapia fillet salad before the dish.
Anyways, how to make it!


Ingredients
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 14 (8-ounce package) manicotti
  • 1 (15-ounce) container whole-milk ricotta
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

Directions

Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, onion and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the meat browns and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool.

Brush 1 teaspoon of oil over a large baking sheet. Cook the manicotti in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly softened, but still very firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the manicotti from the pot to the oiled baking sheet and cool.

Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, 1 1/2 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and parsley. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix. Stir the cooled meat mixture into the cheese mixture.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Brush the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Fill the manicotti with the cheese-meat mixture. Arrange the stuffed pasta in a single layer in the prepared dish and spoon the remaining sauce over.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, then the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the stuffed pasta. Dot entire dish with the butter pieces. Bake the manicotti uncovered until heated through and the sauce bubbles on the sides of the dish, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let the manicotti stand 5 minutes and serve.

now for my 365, I went to buy a ton herbs and spices, it made me so happy because it made my kitchen and me feel more 'complete', to have ready ingredients! haha!

Fail Lawn

So i decided to mow the lawn today, unfortunately i failed. 
I know right, how can you fail at mowing the lawn!?!
You can't, my lawn mower broke after one line through the grass. LOL
So now there's this random line in my backyard. heh...


Anyways, other than that, me and one of my gfs decided to start taking 365 photos ^_^,
 #1 my giant euro doberman Just loves to sleep under the kitchen table...

Summer Projects

Trying to keep myself preoccupied with activities and such til next year, then i can really get my life straightened out. So far my goals are to become a better cook, i'll be posting recipes and how my dishes turn out (lol).
Yard work, bit of gardening here and there, perhaps plant my own tomatoes and such, hehe :D, previously had a malamute that dug holes all over, patches here and there, then theres tons of weeding, and old pots to fill with flowers!
Wish me luck?! ^_^
