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*

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
