Errors that occur when I'm complimenting people!

-
Saturday evening my mom made a delicious dinner which consisted of rigatoni, salad, watermelon, and biscuits. During dinner I decided that it would be polite to compliment my mom so I told her,"Hey, mom these biscuits are really good!" I thought I was being nice, but suddenly she looked upset and asked,"What about the rigatoni? All I did with the biscuits was put them in the oven!" I felt my face go crimson while I tried to make things better by saying,"Well I think all of it is good, especially your rigatoni. I just really liked the biscuits." Thankfully my siblings all came to my rescue and started complimenting the rigatoni also. It's not my fault that I love Pillsbury stuff, I would have taken credit for it!

    Listen to what Zach says about MY cooking:

    "I'm not insulting your cooking...I just don't want to eat it."

    Or...


    "I'm not saying it isn't good...I just don't like it."

    (He is one of the pickiest eaters I have ever met...aaaggghhh!)

    Okay, allow me to explain the weird dinner combo.

    See we usually have garlic bread when I make pasta. We didn't have anything I could fashion into any semblance of garlic bread. The backup plan is ALWAYS for Sunbum to make Bisquick Garlic Cheese Biscuits (You know like the ones you get at Red Lobster. Yum!) Buuuttt, nooooo, Sunbum and her sister were out playing all day with their homeschool group while I was here at home slaving over a hot stove.

    Papi bought a couple cans of biscuits on sale for .49 cents each. It's better than nothing, says I and apparently the highlight of the meal for Sunbum.

    When my brother was here (cuz now he's on a mission :) His only complement was "It's edible."

    The highest complement about my cooking dinner he ever gave me was, "It's almost edible."

    Muah ha ha ha!

    Don't worry, I got him back! >;)

    Sister Face: Picky eater? That is horrible! I might take Zach's lines to Girls Camp!

    Cameo: My family seems to like my cooking! What did you do?

    Brynn:Pillsbury is the best!! Of course it's not as good as my cooking. *cough*

Yup. That's right today is my 14th birthday. (I was born on 5-5-95!!! Isn't that awesome?!) I can't believe it! It doesn't feel like it's a year since whining about turning 13!! Anyway so my mom made me a delicious birthday breakfast that consisted of: Pancakes (raspberry, and cinnamon), cantaloupe, mini sausages, and hash browns!! It was all so good! And then my brothers and sister decorated my bed so when I woke up I was confused, and they decorated a birthday chair for me!!! I LOVE my family!! Yesterday I was talking to two girls in Kung-Fu named Diana, and Briana (they're sisters) and telling them about my birthday. I kept laughing because they were saying," Girl, you're going to need a walker, and dentures for your birthday presents this year......because you're old !!!" Then all the girls started telling me how old I looked to them. Briana said "15". Caterpillar said "25". And Diana said "400"! I told them I

And her name was Ms. Bossy Pants

There's this girl in my brothers church class. Her name is Ms. Bossy Pants . Just from her name you can find that she likes to boss people around, even if they're three times bigger than her! In sharing time she was in the row in front of where I was sitting. I was talking to the girl next to me trying to block out Ms. Bossy Pants bossiness. Then she turned around and started doing her signature move(rubbing her index fingers together and saying,"For shame."Oh! And shaking her head at the same time!) Isn't she such a little multi- tasker ? She started with the,"For shame Sunbum . For shame, your not suppose to be talking right now." (In my defence we still hadn't started class yet.) But that was enough for me, I didn't care if her mom was behind me(telling her mom is her only defence). Who is she to tell me what to do? Then the evillest plan popped into my head. I smiled wickedly at her. Then I turned to the girl next to me and said,"Oh loo

The Office Extravert

Before the pandemic I was a very social person. I had a PACKED social calendar, and constantly sought to be around people. I would host weekly game nights, friend dinners, and group outings. During and post-pandemic I was left with a lot of social anxiety and depression, and that really impacted my ability to socialize with others. I was convinced that one of the lasting symptoms of COVID was introversion.  When I first started working in my current office, I was still recovering from teacher burnout. I felt drained after any social interaction, and felt overwhelmed in highly populated areas (i.e. the grocery store). Anyway, when I started working in the office, I told my parents daily about how chatty people in the office were. I frequently said, "Wow, everyone in the office is so chatty. They just stop by my desk to talk to me all the time. Sometimes I get behind in my work because people stop so often.*" *I feel the need to clarify that I am constantly weeks ahead of sched
