Just a Little Bit.

Well, I have been trying to decide what to write about the last few days, so I've decided to write about everything. This blog is going to be jumping around a lot and not exactly cohesive....lol.

First off, I guess I'll start with cooking. I've been doing really well with planning our meals out and cooking them. Saves the trouble of figuring out what to eat for dinner and also there is less temptation of just going out. Also it gives me the opportunity to cook a little healthier for my family. I've really got into cooking the last year or so, and I absolutely LOVE doing it. I always pull up new recipes I want to try and just go for it. I think it's really fun! This last week I've cooked Honey Chicken Stir Fry with all fresh ingredients, it had three different kinds of peppers, and broccoli and some other things but I can't remember off the top of my head. That was a really healthy dinner though, and it tasted good; even Zoey liked it! Let's see, I also did Tempura one night, we had deep fried burritos another (not as healthy, but REALLY yummy,  LOL). I also made a homemade French Dip which was really good, and for Father's Day, I invited my dad and brother over to eat with Zak, Zoey, and I. I cooked them a whole roasted chicken with homemade mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and gravy. I think what I'm going to start doing is planning our meals out a month at a time instead of weekly; that way we only have to make one trip to the store instead of 3546541686 a month.

Father's Day was good. Zak was such a sweetheart, he let me sleep in (sort of) and got to go out and work on his truck. He was out there for a good part of the day and Zoey kept running out there telling me she had to go help him. It was super cute! As I mentioned earlier, I invited my Dad and Brother over for dinner that night. I had talked to my dad the day before and he said that my brother stays in his room all day long, sleeps till 3 or 4 in the afternoon and doesn't ever associate with my dad. That makes me really mad. In fact, it fucking pisses me off. My brother is THE laziest person EVER. Anyway, I'll get to that in a little bit, back to Father's Day. So I invited them over and I asked Zak to go to the store for me to get a few ingredients while I started preparing the chicken. He comes back with flowers for me. I thought that was the sweetest thing ever...it's Father's Day, HIS day, and he buys ME flowers. When my dad and brother finally got here dinner was just about ready. After dinner was over, I whipped up a few strawberry shortcakes real quick for dessert and then we went to go relax and talk a bit. It was pretty much just a really good day, got to do some cooking, and got to spend time with my favorite people, my Fam{ILY}.

So back to my brother...he intends on going to online college, moving out and getting a job all within the next two weeks. As a graduation/birthday present, my dad helped him get on his own plan with Verizon Wireless...with the condition that he would get a job and pay for the monthly bill. Well, that was June 3rd. Today is June 24th and my brother has been sitting in his room all day long, every day playing on his damn XBOX. No job, No house, and No money. I honestly think that he thinks my dad will continue paying for his phone, even though my dad said he was going to have it shut off if he didn't have a job within 30 days. My brother is going to get a swift kick in the ass when reality finally catches up to him. I almost (keyword, alllllllllmost) feel bad for him. Cause DAMN that's gonna suck lol. But he sits in his room ALL day, and never ever goes out to talk to my dad or spend time with him. I think it is beyond rude! I think my dad should just kick his ass out. Plain and simple...he's gotta learn you can't bite the hand that feeds you...in other words treat my dad like shit just because he can. It makes me even more angry because my dad is old. Not like falling apart old, but he just turned 63 this year. He's retired and just wants to have a good rest of his life. He shouldn't have to deal with a snotty teenager who won't give him the time of day. Hm, I'm just going to leave it at that, it's just making me angry thinking about all of it.

So back in February, I applied for the FAFSA to get financial aid for school. I've wanted to go to college since before I graduated high school....which was THREE years ago. I FINALLY heard back from RCC (our community college) about a week ago. They said that I was missing a bunch of paperwork and I had until June 28th to turn it in and I might have a chance of getting my financial aid for this term, otherwise I have to wait till Fall term. So I just decided that I'll wait till next term. I am so super duper excited though to finally go back to school, I just hope that it actually happens. I want to be an OB/GYN. I think delivering babies would be wonderful!

I have been without a car for about three weeks now because Zak has had to drive to work everyday and his truck has a blown head gasket that he is in the process of fixing. Well, quite frankly it sucks. I hate walking because my knee  has been really hurting, so I stay home all day, every day. LAME. I noticed the effect that it has had on me though the other day when I was applying for jobs online. I've realized that not having a car has made me unbelievably antisocial. I don't want to go out in public, I don't want to go talk to people, I don't even want to go out and look for an employer. It's absolutely ridiculous. That's not like me at all and I told Zak he HAS to get his truck fixed this weekend, or I'm probably going to go insane. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that he get's it done.


I'm really excited for my birthday this year. I finally turn 21 and will be able to drink legally. Not that I drink a lot, but I do have a drink on the weekends if Zoey is at my dads, or if she's asleep. My sister is going to help pay for Zak, Zoey and I to fly down to Arizona. I don't think Zak will be able to go because it's right in the middle of Fire Season, but Zoey and I will probably go. Not sure how that will work though with going out for my birthday. I'm sure my sister has it all planned out, but either way, it'll be nice to get out of this town for a little while.

Hm, well I think that's good for now. Little bit random, little bit off the wall, but definitely a little bit me.
