Rice and Beans...

So.... here is a interesting night for you..

So I was sitting at work last night, when a late ad came in that had to be built. So naturally I was like ok, I'll do it. I can use the extra hours.. So after finally whipping out the ad and fixing a ad that was a total nightmare building with a thousand names for a thank you deal, with a BItc+ of a lady putting the ad together for her company.. anyways, that is besides the point.. So I finally got out of work and was like hmmm.. I was going to go to the gym, but now that I am not going to get home until 7 and i am starving I am going to go home and eat some din.

So I jump into my truck and realize that I have no gas. NONE. That might be because I have been waiting for a paycheck to get more gas, because I had no mula. So I was like well, I think I might be able to make it home, its downhill right??? So as I was driving I realized that I was retarded and there was no way I was going to make it home. So I went on a road that goes parallel to the freeway, having no idea where the hell I was. Eventually I found a gas station and got some gas. Then remembered I passed a Albertsons on my way to the gas station, back tracked and thought I would pick up some rice and beans for dinner real quick so I could just go straight home.

I run into Albys just having just my car keys and credit card in my pocket from when I got gas. I run through the store grabbing rice, beans, NON butter flavored tortillas (yeah made that mistake of not looking at the package good enough and bought butter flavored tortillas-who the hell makes those) and some other stuff.

So I go to the self check out, thinking it was going to be faster... Yeah so I check out and then run my credit card, and with that new thing you have to enter your zip. So I enter mine, and get denied. Shit, what zip do I have on this card I think to myself, vermont, oregon?? aaaah, so I start trying to put in zip codes and naturally I cannot remember VT's for the life of me. People are staring at me, like what the hell is this stupid girl doing??? Finally I am like screw this, cancel out, then it told me I had to wait for the worker person to come over so they can verify this cancellation. So I am waiting and finally this guy comes over and was like whats the problem? So I told him and he was like well do you have your ID? And of course the one time I leave my purse in the car I need it. So I ran out to get my purse, run back into the store and show the guy, while he is RE-checking me out. Then entering my rewards number--yes save that dollar and a half!!!--and entering a different credit card. Then the guy is like OREGON!!!! I grew up in Oregon too. Where in oregon are you from?? and I tell him, and he's like oh my great grandmother is from there!! How bout those Ducks huh!!!! They're doing great, and goes on to tell me all of the stats and who they need to beat to be number one. And while he is telling me all of this useless information of the Ducks football, I am trying to put my ID and credit card back into my wallet, then all of my business cards and randomness falls out of my wallet onto the ground.. PERFECT!

So now as I am walking out of the store, I now have all this knowledge of when the Ducks are playing, who they are playing and what ranking they AND they're competitors

Old Food to New Food!

Ok well, this is to being creative.. with food.

So this weekend I was cleaning my house, and noticed that I had a few --shall we say over ripe-- bananas and a old baguette. So I was like hmm, what can I do with these past due things?? So naturally I looked my my most favorite person ever, Martha of course!! and found some items..

••Delish Banana Bread••
3-4 Mashed Naners
1/2 C. Sour Cream
1 1/2 C Flour
1 C Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Baking Soda
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 C Butter

Pre-heat oven at 350. Butter bread loaf pan.

Whisk together all dry ingredients. Mash bananas in different bowl. Mix in butter @ room temp. Add eggs, vanilla, bananas and sour cream. Mix.

Pour all contents into loaf pan, sprinkle brown sugar on top and pop into the oven, bake for 1.5 HRS. Before taking out of oven make sure it is fully cooked by poking a knife or fork into the middle. If it comes out non-gooey its ready to take out! Let sit for 10min, carefully take out of pan and enjoy!!

••HOMEMADE CROUTONS••

Stale bread (ciabatta-baguette)
Olive oil
Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper

Pre-heat oven @ 400.

Slice up bread into your choice chunks, small works better. Once all cubed up put into Tupperware drizzle olive oil, and the rest of the spices on top. Put the Tupperware top on and shake-em!! Shake until it looks evenly coated on all pieces. Pour onto a cookie sheet and just bake for about 10-15Min's. Just until they are golden on the sides. ENJOY!! goes great with Ceasar salads!!

So now you went from having unwanted old-ish food to new yummy food!!! :) good work!

Shitty Drivers.

So this blog is dedicated to all the people that mostly follow the rules while driving. Even though you watch those assholes wizz right by you like you are just standing still you still go the same speed, wishing you could go faster, but know you will get pulled over, because you are just that kind of a person. As they pass you in your head your thinking (or out loud-in my case 90% of the time), "that fucker, I hope they get a ticket!!!" Although it never seems to be the case. You always wish to see them pulled over up ahead on the road it never really happens, but honestly how many times has that really happened?? Only once to me, but it was glorious!!

Which brings me to my point, as I was driving up to work yesterday going about 75 (because there are crazy drivers on this road (if your not going at least 70 your going to get stuck behind a semi-truck), but mind you this is a very big incline up a mtn road. So as I was sitting there listening to my music drinking my semi-good coffee, I notice a little purple-y Audi right on my ass. So naturally I am like shit, cool your jets, and pull over a lane. And this little Audi flies by me like I am standing still. What a bitch. But I'm over it in a few seconds really. But about 10 later in my drive, who do I see but a little purple-y Audi pulled over because they rear-ended someone. HA victorious! Yes, I know it is a little mean to be excited that some one got in a little fender bender, but I am not excited at the fact that they got in a crash, but the little no-older than 18 year old girl crashed her probably 16th birthday present, because she was driving like a idiot. Nice. haha. I'm guessing mommy and daddy weren't too stoked on that 8:45am phone call.

Happy Halloween a Day Late, and a Buck Short--or more..

Greetings everyone. I'm not sure I should say that plural, seeing as I have no idea who reads this. But nevertheless greetings!

So I have recently designed a top sheet for some skis, and they are actually getting printed and everything!! I am so excited, because that was pretty much my ultimate goal when I first decided graphic design was for me!! So congrats to me!! YAY!! Anyways, I am going to try to upload a picture of them, but also the company that is making them is call Birdos, they are out of Switzerland, just a small company that makes custom skis. So if you have a sec take a peek!! :) www.birdos.com

The skis are call Early Birds, thus the flying clock etc. So lets see if I can make this work!

Thoughts...

So this morning as I was driving up to work I found myself thinking. Yes, whoa, watch out. I was thinking. We all know when I am thinking its not a good thing. But I found myself wishing I had my computer while I was thinking these random thoughts because there were so many just canoodling in my brain..

I was thinking about the "best of" section of craigslist.org because it is friggen hilarious! When I was reading one of the forum things, it was from a guy actually in Portland, which is funny because these postings are from all over the US. And believe it or not there is a large percent of them from Oregonians.. Anyhoo.. this guys was at a post office in Multnomah and he was going off about all the different people standing in a way too long of line -amazingly enough- there was only 2 people working. But it was the funniest thing I have ever read. So it made me think, I should share my own story, but instead of mine being a rare occurrence it is everyday.

So everyday I sit down in my chair looking for something to do. Daily, there is nothing when I actually get here on time, so I start to find something to do.. whether it being looking at my email or just checking out the news. You know aol, cnn, or weird news on aol-which makes me think I haven't checked that lately--ooo I'm excited I hope there is something good. Anyways, then as the morning drags on, people start to trickle in, you know around 9:30-ish.. So as this one person in particular gets here. He sits down, and oh yes, his cell phone rings. Seriously how long has been been away from his wife? Like 30 minutes, give me a break. So anyways, while he is talking on the phone I have puke bubbling up my throat because he is such a fucking pansy. He is talking to his wife, saying oh honey how are you? I was just checking in on you, making sure your ok sweetie. Oh honey well you should go to the doctor, oh honey you should take some advil. BLAH BLAH BLAH. Grow a sac, seriously. If my boyfriend acted like this I would punch him in the face. Boys are supposed to hardly listen to you when you have a headache and then make you snap out of feeling bad for yourself, not be a pussy and act like your girlfriend talking to you in a baby voice. Give me a break. I just want to toss his phone out the window and say fetch little gremlin man.

On to the next. So there is this girl that looks like ugly betty. Dresses like her and everything. But not funny, its not the tv show. I tried to make it like that just to make me not hating her and not even knowing her. But it happened, my first day working here we went out to lunch everyone was raging on her, immediately making me think badly. Although it only has grown into totally cannot stand her-- cant even look at her with wanting to staple things to her head. For example yesterday she came around bring a "memo" if you will-- and handed them to us and said this is for a little training. It was a memo telling us how to except files for people wanting to do internet advertising. Half the shit was totally wrong, and it was ugly to boot. Nobody in the office likes her, she is the running joke of the office, I haven't even been here longer than 2 months and I already have the same amount of distaste as the rest of the peeps here.

Then we have this guy that is pretty normal. Although when something is out of the norm or just not like it should be exactly, then he flips a switch. Its the weirdest thing.. Something will set him off and he just leaves. This has happened 3 times in like 3 days. Twice yesterday, and just never came back after the second tantrum. I'm just hoping one of these days he doesn't go postal. That would suck.

So as I sit here waiting for something to do, I am over using my fingers and now they are tired. I need more coffee and some advil--my tum tum is killing me. And also I have to figure out what exactly I need to buy for my halloween costume. By the way, if you know me at all, you would know that Halloween is my most fav holiday ever!! I am going to be Debbie Harry from Blondie. Its going to be great!! ok peace out, hope you enjoyed a look into my everyday-day.

Wawa-wee-woo

Man Alive. So these fires are out of control in Cali, I am glad that my sis gets to go back to her house, and they were the lucky ones that still have a house to go back to.

Well the work week is going somewhat quickly, which is definately a plus! Its already wednesday, so that is nice. And my favorite holiday is really coming around the corner. Totally sweet!!! : ) Um, yeah, well there is nothing to do, so here I find myself typing away nothing on this blogger, because I am bored. Boo. Maybe sometime soon I won't be as bored, maybe located somewhere else. One can only hope... ; )

man o man.

So it is that time of the year to rake up billions of leaves and bag-em up.. Did that yesterday.. and as we were finishing the front yard--the back yard isn't even started yet-- we looked up at the tree that is dropping all of its leaves and there are so many leaves still attached it doesn't look like any have fallen off yet. And we already bagged up 6 bags. It will be interesting...

What happened over the weekend?? hmmm.. actually no wack-o weird stories. Just a good relaxing weekend that went way too fast. And now I am back at work.. working hard as you can see I'm sure, as I am typing this. Because there is no work.. One word.. EXCITING.

Well I am sure that I will be back later today.. I am going to catch up on my current events-- I don't keep up on it during the weekend, so until next time...

Pronto!

buongorno tutti! Well, I don't know why I am having the urge to speak Italian today, but o'well.. Anyways, last night I was watchin a little boobtube and noticed a McDonald's commercial, and I guess it is the Monopoly time. And it made me think.. I wonder if all the bums in the world get excited when this time of the year rolls around? Because they can possibly win more food or money for scrounging up 1.29 for an egg McMuffin.. Just a thought.. :)

Mmmm..

So.. after "surfin the web" for a little bit this morning, I just found out that www.wildoats.com has tons of recipes. So if your in need of some new flava flav in your life, check it out..

also I got accused of eating hippie food last week. Due to my daily snacks at work being trail mix and crasins. I'm not hippie.

Greetings..

Well, happy Monday everyone. Whoever actually reads this silly thing. Well, can't believe it is already Monday, can't wait for the weekend already. But anyways, well over the weekend I went to a Matchstick Productions Movie premiere, which was pretty fun. Randomly I won the raffle, which got me some Smith shades (-which are not PollyShades- need to switch those out) and some awesome Smith Goggles. That was cool, funny hearing my name called out- my odds may have been a little better than the normal person due to me putting 3 slips in the box! haha. But then went to a little bar in SLC called Pipper Down, which was fun. But all Utah bars have smoking, so needless to say we didn't last long in there. Which brings me to now, I am wearing the hoodie I was wearing in the bar, and it STINKS.. the few squirts of perfume didn't do the job. So I am sitting in my own stench of bar. Gross. At least I am warm though.. right?

Hmm.. what else over the weekend happened that was funny.... thinking... thinking.. thinking... I am going have to take a ciesta and think about this. I will be back. count on it...

New Purchase..

So last night at the Superstore Office Depot -- why it is a Superstore, I don't know. But that is beside the point. But I bought a new little item for my desk at work. It is a nice little almost bean-bag like wrist rest. It is called IMAK ergobeads. I really suggest buying one if your on a computer constantly -- instead of getting future wrist bones spurs.. not pretty. here is the link for it. Its just a wonderful simple pleaure!! : ) http://www.safecomputing.com/imak_ergobeads_mouse.html

Chevron...

So this morning on my way out of my driveway, noticed I have no gas to get me to work. So I just made my way down the road to the nearest Chevron. As I am getting out of my truck to fill-er-up a lady in a floral print durag comes up to me. I was like um, so is she going to go talk me or to someone else behind me--unfortunately there was no one behind me. So she comes up to me and says "Excuse me sweetie, but we just coasted in here (pointing at her 2-tone monster green 1969 Shaggin wagon-and toothless boyfriend/husband- who is filling up the beast) and we only have a dollar, do you happen to have any change?" As I am holding my tie-dye debit card in my hand, I was like um yeah, sorry but no, I can hardly pay for my own gas. Then I watch her proceed to ask every person at the gas station for money to cover the Shaggin Wagons already full tank of gas. HA! Alright Salt Lake City. Keepin it Classy.
