Home Depot Brings Me Down.

   So November 2008 we began to get our kitchen remodeled by Home Depot. Now, its almost 2011 and we STILL don't have a dang kitchen!!! Instead of writing out the whole story, just watch the video. Link below. This is just basically going to tell you my opinions and what not.


   I really hate not having a kitchen. At first, it was cool I thought because that meant my mom couldn't make Indian food every night for dinner and we'd have to eat out. Now, yea..not so cool. I wish I could make home made food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. AND DESSERT!!!!! Oh my gosh dessert!!! I love that stuff like crazy! French macrons, coconut cupcakes, cookies, cake, banoffee pie..YUUUM! I've been dying to attempt making French macrons, banoffee pie, and amazing, heavenly coconut cupcakes! But guess what?? ITS NOT FREAKING HAPPENING!!! You know what else isn't happening? My dream 16th birthday cake! I don't want a party, or people singing to me, or gifts, I want my dang cake!!!!! Its purple (my favorite colour) and gold (my golden birthday!) with pistachio French macrons.
   
Not having a kitchen makes eating extremely hard. Especially eating healthy. Most everything is from out or a box, oh joy box food..not. We've got to get food that can be prepared my microwave, toaster oven or camping stove. And preparing it is hard too! I feel terrible for my mom who makes almost every meal. She has to walk all the way down to garage to get whatever she needs and has to bring it up in a paper bag. Then prepare it on the camping stove which takes FOREVER to heat up.


No kitchen=no space. There are boxes everywhere from kitchen things. This year for Christmas, we didn't  any decorations because the boxes in the garage stood in the way of getting boxes of decorations down. And we didn't have a tree..no wonder I feel like there was no Christmas this year. We've got two tables in the dining area which makes things pretty crowded. Most mornings I usually end up stubbing my toe on one table or another. Mornings and I hate each other, hurting myself during this time is especially bad. Now that we don't have a kitchen sink we wash our dishes in a bathroom. ick.


One thing I really miss is when my mom would be making dinner and I'd finish up doing homework in the back dining area and I'd talk to her or just watch her cook. I remember sitting there and thinking "cooking looks like so much fun. I cant wait till I'm older and Mom lets me help her or maybe even lets me cook dinner alone." 


Not having a kitchen sucks. Our kitchen used to be my favorite place to be. Now, I hate going in there, every time I walk into it I get a little ball in my stomach and I want to burst in to tears. Whenever I go to anyones house I feel so jealous that they have a kitchen to cook in but I don't. Watching my friends bring homemade treats to lunch makes me jealous too, I miss when my mom would be able to pack me some homemade muffins or cookies or something. I miss washing dishes in our big kitchen sink, pretending I was the dishwasher of a famous restaurant, putting dishes away in a tall cabinet, not a box, coming home to the smell of blueberry muffins in the oven and eating them as soon as they came out. I miss everything about not having a kitchen. I pray that we will have a kitchen soon and this nightmare will be a thing of the past. D':

Purple M&M's+Japanese Container=Pretty Darn Amazing!!

Today, I found my latest addiction. Purple M&M's!! Not just any M&M's, but shiny purple ones filled with milk, white and dark chocolate!!! Now, Im not a chocolate person at all but these things are freaking amazing!! Where can you find M&M's this amazing? Well, you can be Spencers friend and she'll put them in this adorable Japanese container for you, or I guess you could buy them at Target or something..

Anyways, Im sitting here on my floor eating them. I only have four left, how sad! I love how theres three different types of chocolate in them, not that I would have realized it if Spencer hadnt been smart enough to stick a little note on the top of the container explaining the M&M to me ;)

"You should be a camel in the Gobi"

According to Spencer, I should be a camel in the Gobi because they eat 2 gallons of ice every day! I am pretty close to becoming a camel, I ate 161 1x2" pieces of ice yesterday. Today I havent eaten so much, roughly 46 pieces, mainly because my mouth is sore from yesterday. Both of my cheeks are all chewed up because I ate so much ice that my cheeks were numb and I didnt realize I was biting my cheeks :(
I've been addicted to ice since October 2008. One of my friends used to bring me bags of ice to school. A couple days ago Spencer and I went downtown. We took a little detour and went to the third floor of this fan-cay hotel. There, I filled up a bag of ice. It was pretty darn good.  My new years resolution is definitely going to be cut back on ice. I've probably eaten more ice than most people eat in a lifetime.

Theres a name for my addiction: pagophagia. Pagophagia is a disorder where people chew ice, its a form of pica. On top of this, I have no self control..at all. I swear, Im going to be nineteen and toothless if I dont stop soon. I really am scared I'll end up toothless but it apparently doesnt scare me enough to stop. Must stop..must stop...must stop...

Right after I go eat some ice :)

Lady Gaga Conert

   I absolutely love Lady Gaga. The Fame Monster is my favorite CD, I know every song in the order theyre on the disc (Bad Romance, Alejandro, Monster, Speechless, Dance In The Dark, Telephone, So Happy I Could Die, Teeth).
  Naturally, I was excited to hear she was going on tour, as was my mom, sister and good friend, Spencer. My mom and I made a deal: if I got an A in Precalc and stopped eating ice (my addiction, seriously I'm going to be 19 and toothless), she would take me and my sister to the concert for my sixteenth birthday present(so long as the tickets were reasonably priced)! Spencer was going to ask for the tickets as a Christmas gift and we'd get to go together and have an amazing time. I've been waiting for this since August! Spencer and I had everything planned out.
   But guess what??? PRICES WENT UP!!!! Our dreams are crushed and our plan is ruined!!! Spencer, Lady Gaga and I were going to have a tea party together and then I would play piano while Lady Gaga and Spencer danced to a medley of Gaga songs. She'd be amazed at our talent and she'd take us on tour with her.
   But the ticket prices went up and none of this amazing-ness cannot happen :(

Update: My sister and I were in the kitchen washing and drying dishes. I mentioned to her that we wouldn't be able to go because of the raised prices.  She turns around with a frying pan in her hand, nearly hits my head, and goes "This is all Lady Gaga's fault. Why is she so wonderful??"

Cuttlefish are creepy.

So Im sitting here texting my friend and somehow we ended up on the subject of the 'cutest' animal. She claims that CUTTLEFISH are the cutest animals! Really now? Google cuttlefish and go to images. These things are creepy! Theres nothing cute about them. The end.
