It has been an adventurous, expensive weekend.

Mom came down for a few days and decided to borrow some movies.  She picked up Sherlock and said, "Oh, it's the man from the porno!"  And my first scarring thought was, "My mother watches porn."  The thought immediately following was, "Oh my God, either Benedict or Martin made a porno, and I must see it."  And then I realized she was talking about ( Read more... )

Here is basically how things are going:
Today my father interrogated my mother with a spray bottle of water, demanding to know where the Corn Nuts were hidden.  Mom hates when Dad eats Corn Nuts. Apparently, my brother offered to sneak the Corn Nuts out of their shopping cart in exchange for Mom buying him Sour Straws.  We now have Sour Straws in ( Read more... )

Weird stuff, peeps.  I honestly don't know.  On Tuesday, I was in the parking lot at work, walking toward the store, when suddenly this guy who I'd noticed from the next row over is right in my face with gorgeous blue eyes. Which was terribly unfair.  Anyways, I jumped, and he apologized and said he thought I was really cute and could he possibly ( Read more... )

I finally went out and bought about $50 worth of baking pans, which meant that today I baked Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.  And then I got adventurous and whipped up some Almond Joy cupcakes via my own judgment; according to my brother, they were pretty fucking good.  I am rather pleased with them myself.  But let us not, dear friends, pass over The ( Read more... )

Last night Lin planned a dinner with Cam and Nat and me at Bubba Gump's; the waiter made everyone sing happy birthday and I had to do a little dance, but I got a sundae out of it!  And when he asked how old I was, he shouted that I was celebrating my sweet 16 (which was awkward since I had a Coronarita sitting in front of my plate XD).  Nat and I ( Read more... )

My uncle is an artist.  Currently, The Venetian in Las Vegas hired him to make a shit ton of masks and decorations for the outside of the hotel; he asked me if I would drive down with some banners on Friday night, and I had to turn him down because I had a date (like, this never happens to me, right? Of course it would be the one time...)  So ( Read more... )

Wednesday, Mom and I went to the zoo.  It was some pretty weird times, watching a tortoise try and get it on, watching two tiger cubs play fight like our cats, mocking whiny children.  Mom was the worst.  I forgot which of us was the snarky daughter and which of us was the socially-aware parent.  So did she, apparently.  It was fucking awesome.  ( Read more... )

Everyone is talking about This Means War, and now I'm really glad I saw it with Yv; for some strange reason, I thought it was the Reese Witherspoon movie with Owen Wilson (which came out a long time ago, I have no idea what I was thinking), but then there was action and guns and super hot men, and I realized I was thoroughly mistaken.  So that was ( Read more... )

It appears as though The Tire Saga continues...last time, the driver's rear tire finally had been patched, albeit suspiciously.  See, the manager of TLE told me he could not patch my tire because it had sidewall damage that made the tire unsafe to drive on.  But when they had my tires in stock, the technician only did a patch job.  Today, Mom was ( Read more... )
