McDonalds for dinner last night, Kraft Dinner and sausages tonight. We had pizza before that.
I can’t remember the last time I cooked a good meal for my family. Either I halfass it, make Nick do it, or we eat at family’s.

December 2011
I’m 900% more likely to find the protagonist annoying and whiny.
My bellybutton never popped out for either of my pregnancies. It went flat, but never stuck out.
I’m kinda curious if it will this time.

Haha! I’m more of a finger painter myself :)thats the easiest way to entertain me
- Paper
- Glue
- Stale cereal/buttons/glitter/stickers
- Crayons
The best cereal is Froot Loops. You can either glue them on whole, or crush them up and sprinkle them over the glue. Plus it makes the pictures smell good.
I just sit them at the table with these and they make all kinds of pictures and stuff. Adrian usually makes different planets (with Jupiter he even had a red froot loop for the big storm). Isaac usually does happy faces and rainbows.
Here’s the description straight from the site:
Grilled seasoned chicken breast, crisp panko-breaded cheddar cheese, bacon, tomatoes, granny smith apple slices and orange poppy seed slaw stacked on a ciabatta bun.
Like, how amazing does that sound? I’ve been wanting to order this sandwich all summer, but I always change my mind because ‘I’m too hungry for a sandwich’ or ‘I kinda really want a burger’.
In reality though, after taking off the tomatoes, it had almost no flavour at all. I was kinda surprised. The coleslaw tasted… just like plain cabbage. There was hardly any cheese. Occasionally you’d get bacon taste, but that’s it. I was so sad. Then I ate my french onion soup and (practically) dressingless caesar salad.
A disappointing meal out with Nick, to say the least.
Now!!!
The worst part is I’m home alone and there is absolutely nothing stopping me from going out and finding a restaurant that will make me one.
Except my favourite poutine place is closed.
And no one else can compare.
Seriously though, poutines are amazing. They look horrible and not that great (I tried google images to find a tasty looking one to post, but they all look terrible), but once you get a proper good one. Good God.
- Mike: By the way, can you go get me a part of the Moon?
- Me: which part?
- Mike: I don't care, any part will do. I'm not picky. Just need some Moon for my pocket. Bragging rights, picking up chicks. "Hey baby, you want to see my Moon rocks?"
the following are no longer acceptable as names
- Precious
- Eternity
- Bubba
- Urhines (your highness)
- any and all numbers
- B.J.
- Aiden, Caiden, Jayden or anything that rhymes with the aforementioned.
- Ashley (for boys)
- Madison…
- Pretty much anything beginning with “La”.
- Anything that could be confused for a type of medicine.
You forgot Nevaeh.

It’s been raining here for about 5 hours. Winter is catching up with Ontario I fear.
I know! I was really liking the warm winter. I think we had one day all month that was below 0ºC (during the day, I know it dipped below a few times in the night).
Bahhh.
About 1/3 of the streetlights/stop lights were out when I drove Nick to work at the west side of the city, and my mother just lost power in the east side. I’m in the middle, and so far I’m still with power.
But good God, my car does NOT like driving in wet snow/slush. I was spinning tires like Cruella DeVille.
OMG I just cried at work, this is such a loving and touching story :’)
RIP Jenni Lake, you are a true warrior
Reading all of the whiny kids on the various social networking sites complain about not receiving expensive gifts such as Cars, expensive electronics, and various apple products (like Mac Books, iPads, iPhones, etc… really irks me. I even read on one social networking site that some girl was pissed off because her parents didn’t give her any gifts only $750. I read that someone was pissed because they received a Car instead of iPhone, another person complained they got an iPhone but it wasn’t the white one…
Honestly, my generation makes me ashamed to a part of a generation of spoiled, selfish, ungrateful, (for lack of better words) assholes. These kids should be grateful they even received presents in the first place.
And it still says my charge is sitting at 6%.
This can’t be good.
This was what, a week ago?
And my battery sat at 6% (then later 0%) until tonight. It took Nick about 20 seconds to fix it.
He popped the battery out and put it back in.
HOW IS THAT EVEN A SOLUTION FOR THAT. WHY DID IT WORK? And why the fuck wasn’t it charging?
Ugh, computers.
I like when people I follow make text posts about just anything in general, about their life or what they’re feeling or just anything. It makes following the person more fun and I get to see the personality of the person I’m following. Reblogged posts are okay, but it’s fun to know the person behind the blog too.
These are all hypothetical multiple choice situations. Bold the action you would take in each situation, & then answer the questions that follow. (I bolded the questions to make it easier on the eyes. Sue me.)
1. You win 11 million dollars, however, you have three options, you can either:
- a. Donate every cent to a charity of your choice.
- b. Can only spend 100,000 dollars of it a year until you run out, but do with it as you please.
- c. Split it evenly amongst you & eleven family members / friends.
— Which would you choose & why?
Spend $100,00 a year until I run out, obviously. That is more than three times Nick’s salary, I don’t see how that is detrimental at all. Plus, it would last what… 110 years?? I think I’m good with that!!
— If you chose B, would you donate some of that toward charity?
It would go to SickKids, probably. They did so much for Adrian.
— How would you react to winning something like that?
All of my problems would be solved. I’d probably faint.
2. A motherless kitten with a broken foot is found at your doorstep, you can either:
- a. Take it in & tend to it as best as you can & keep it as your own.
- b. Take it to the nearest animal shelter & let them deal with it.
- c. Leave it out to fend for itself.
I would go with B.
— Why did you choose what you did?
Because I’m not a vet, so I can’t properly fix a broken foot - and I don’t want to leave a cat a cripple. Also allergies and my apartment doesn’t allow me to have pets.
— What if it were a snake with a damaged tail, would you handle the matter in the same fashion?
Snakes are wild animals, so probably not. I don’t think the shelters around here would take snakes.
— Have you ever had to give up your own personal pet to an animal shelter? What was the reason behind it?
No.
— What do you think about people who think that cats / dogs should be killed because there are so many of them populating the world?
Use them to feed people. End of world hunger.
3. You are shown an envelope that can either have $2,000, two tickets to any country of your choice, or a stick of gum in it. It costs you $2 to buy this envelope. Would you..
- a. Pass on buying it because you don’t want to waste $2 on just a chance.
- b. Buy the envelope with the hopes that you get something good.
If you chose a, skip the rest of this altogether.
— If you got the $2,000, how would you spend it? Or would you save it?
Probably would pay off my credit cards. Then… I’d have enough to … no, I wouldn’t have any left.
— If you got the two tickets, where would you go & who would you take with you? I’d go to Peru with Nick
— If you got the stick of gum, would you be angry, or just disappointed?
I’d be disappointed, and probably assume it was a trick the whole time.
4. Your [possibly hypothetical] sibling is a single parent to a one year old child. Your sibling is hit by a car & is in a coma, but the child is safe.
- a. Would you step up & take the position of temporarily taking care of the child?
- b. Would you leave it up to someone else, such as the grandparents, to tend to the child?
- c. Would you seek out the child’s father/mother in the hopes that he would take the child in?
If the other parent didn’t step up to take the kid, then he/she probably isn’t interested/good enough to take the kid anyway. So. Probably A.
— At your current age & living situation, would you even be capable of raising a child, temporarily, on your own?
Of course.
— Who would you hope would look after your child if you were in that sort of a situation?
Nick better take care of the kids if I was in a coma.
— Could you handle the pressure of taking care of that child even if you were well off & old enough to take care of a child?
I can handle the pressure of taking care of two, and I’m definitely not well off. So, obviously yes.
— Now, let’s refer back to the first question of this survey. If you had that 11 million dollars, & you were told that giving up half of it would ensure that your sibling was brought out of the coma, would you give it up?
Depends on if it was my brother or sister (JUST KIDDING) It’s still 50 years worth of money, of course I would give half of it away.
5. Your house is caught on fire. You are the only one home, therefore everyone else is safe. The nearest window to you is easy to get out of, but you only have enough time to grab a couple of items.
- a. Do you forget about the material items & take all of the time you have to get yourself out?
- b. Do you grab a couple of items & take them with you?
Neither? I’d get my kids!!
— Are there even any material items that are that important to you? If so, what are they, & why are they so important to you?
There probably is, but I can’t think of any at the moment. I’d rather get my kids out, everything else can probably be bought again.
— How would you feel if those items burned up & you could never see / touch them again?
Probably sad. I felt sad in UP when all of the fossils fell out of the museum part of the big… helium balloon thing (words escape me at the moment). I felt sad when Carl dumped all of his belongings to make the house float again.
— What if there was a family pet stuck in another part of the house? Would you risk taking the time to attempt a rescue, or would you leave that to the firemen?
Firemen I guess. Our only pet is just a snake, but I’d feel bad.

Congrats, enjoy all of your little appetizers!!!
I can’t wait! :D Oh, and croissant turkey sandwiches with cheese melted on them…
I’m making myself hungry.
No more waiting 20 minutes for my oven to heat up to get toasty re-heated pizza. And I’m totally buying little appetizers (like breaded mozzarella sticks and coconut shrimp) for myself now, since I can cook them super fast. Mmmm.
At some point they have changed it so that you can’t re-download a movie if you delete it. Previously, if you deleted a movie you could go back to the store and download it again whenever you wanted.
I have about 10 movies on my PS3 at the moment (all kids movies - we don’t have good luck with keeping kids discs scratch-free)
And 500MB of free space. I’ve deleted most of my game installs, but I have some PSP/PS1 games on there that I don’t want to lose. Along with the free games we got in April after the PSN hacking incident.
I deleted Transformers the other day to download Aladdin (which was a rental, and was only good for 48 hours). Now I can’t get Transformers back. I can’t get back Spiderman 2, which I previously deleted to make space for Tangled. Nor can I get back any other movie that I deleted to make room for a new one.
WHY did they change this rule?! Argh!
Krackadoodle
so I’m really going to try to make this my last complaint of the year: I am sick of being on the verge of throwing up all day. I am sick of throwing up almost every time I eat. It was never like this with my other two. The worst then was, with Isaac, I worked at Swiss Chalet and was constantly bombarded by horrible chicken sauce and buckets of cold grease in the garbage room. But this time around I am provoked by the smell of anything. Soap, toothpaste, juice, flowers. Ugh. That is all.
Thank you! I’m happy to hear you liked it :)
it was a great book, seriously. i really recommend it. if you’re like me and can’t put a book done until it is finished, make sure to set aside a day or two to read it though. it’s monstrous.
Didn’t get to really see Adrian’s Christmas concert this year because Isaac decided to first talk (loudly) through the first part, then climb under chairs, repeatedly run off, and go exploring the hallways.
Ugh. I do not have the energy or the patience for this today. So we sat in the car for the last part.
