(no subject)
well don't you know, it's like christmas never ends, kids!! not only am i updating after a day or so of not updating, but i am delivering to thine eyes the most wonderfully long post ever. EVER. so long, in fact, that i've been slaving over it, during fits of outrageous boredom, as a private entry over a span of the past few days, laboriously html-ing and taking quizzes, trying to figure out what to do to bring back the lj rhetorical magic i once had.
just short of magic, though, i'm here to tell you what's been going on in my life for the past coupld of days. particularly, i'll be sharing what i bought and what i encountered when i bought what i bought. has the word "bought" lost its meaning yet? go ahead. say it five times to yourself, slowly. ok. good.
yesterday my dad took me out to breakfast because, well, we were the only people home... and i actually really don't know what compelled him to want to go out for breakfast but we did. we went to walker bros. pancake house, which ordinarily is only about ten minutes away. yesterday morning, however, we set out jsut shortfully after the sun decided to make an appearance after almost 48 hours of straight snowfall/flurries/whathaveyou. this meant slick roads and plenty of accidents on the roads, and let me tell you we passed by one DOOZY of an accident. silver convertible. side of the road. the roof of the car was on the grass next to the street. it took us twice the time to get to the pancakse house. but i ate chocolate chip pankcakes!! so that cancelled out the wreckage i saw earlier.
then my dad later gave me money to go buy some groceries so i could cook something fabulous for dinner. so i took the cash and made a voyage out to the fruit market i.e. the IMMIGRANT STORE. and i bought asparagus, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. i wanted to get some fresh basil, but the darn stores didn't have any basil plants so i made my purchase and headed off to jewel to get my basil.
oh Lordie Lordie. i think my trip to jewel, while quite brief, was hilarious. the basil plants were all really young and their leaves just weren't sufficient for the salad caprese i had in the works, so i had to settle for buying dried basil. DRIED BASIL, WHAT MONSTROCITY!!
the dried basil is in the same section as baking goods and baking mixes. while on my way to the spice area of the aisle, i had to pass two teenage boys, in matching straight thuggin 555 soul sweatsuits [or their cheaper fashion equivalents], looking at the wide array of brownie, cookie, and muffin mixes. OH SWEET MOTHER OF PEARL, DID THEY REAK OF MARIJUANA!! i had to stop myself from audibly laughing, as i immediately put two and two together and figured they had the post-blaze munchies and part of their epiphany was they should MAKE their snack, instead of jsut buy it! silly boys.
so then i bought my basil, headed home, and started to prepare my asparagus dish. but my sister had to be picked up from school so i pikced her up instead of making my mom go out and do it. but before i picked her up, i took some pictures of what it looked like outside after such snowfall. those pictures will be posted in here sometime in the very near future, but right now i am lazy and ths post is LONG ENOUGH.
then i came back home with my sister in tow and i concluded my dinner-making. the end was result was baked asparagus [one pan made with garlic, one without] and salad caprese [which sounds far fancier than it really is].
ok now TODAY i did other shopping. i did my ABSLUTE NECESSITIES shopping!!!
my mom and i went to wal mart and boy oh boy did i have fun shopping for all of my necessities. or maybe i didn't. but let me tell you, i REALLY LOVE that now an entire haircare line of dove products exists. I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE IT. so today i bought the gel and the SMOOTH AND SOFT serum for infusing hair with moisture as well as taming flyaway and the like. jeez i am going to have fun with all those things.
i also made my mom buy a two-pound bag of animal crackers. why? because i really like animal crackers. a lot. and i plan on taking whatever my family doesn't eat in the next week back to school with me.
then toward the end of our shopping adventure, my mom told me how lately she has really been wanting to revive her old habit [read: HABIT CIRCA HER HIGH SCHOOL YEARS] of reading trash novels. HA HA HA! so as she perused the titles for one suiting her "literary" needs, i skimmed through some teen magazine, i forgot which one. i'm sure the title doesn't really make much of a difference.
anyway, i read through my horoscope and looked at the FLIRTING TIPS: 5 WAYS TO MAKE HIM WANT YOU BAD! ok basically my horoscope told me that february is jsut going to be OFF THE CHAIN and it's all going to go my way and EVERYTHING WILL BE COMING UP ROSES! included my loooooooove. apparently every astro sign's love day is VALENTINE'S DAY. uh huh. we'll see how valentine's day 2005 works out.
it also said the day after my birthday will be one of my best days. whatever. all i know is that my sister wants to sleep over for that weekend and regardless my family is coming down on my birthday. which, i must say, is pretty awesome.
basically that concludes this entry and i'm pretty much done. expect a photoJ entry about the snow and my car, with which i only have another 7 and a half days to spend, approximately.
