Mousin' Around

Over the last few years since we moved to this house we have experienced some little friends - mice.
They live in our garage and garden and are driving my mother up the wall. 
Every time she catches one she cries because she knows its dead. We usually always use the container ones with the poison because then you cant see the actual dead mouse , however , this time we tried modernized versions of the old wooden and wire traps.
We put some peanut butter on it and waited and whadya know , we caught one almost instantly!
unfortunately though , it didnt die.....
It only got its poor little foot stuck in it.... which still made my mother cry...

The poor mouse would not stop squeaking and squirming - which made me squeak and squirm too...
I almost wish that it died instantly... would have been better for everyone.

Now because my mother and i freaked out neither of us have the guts to touch or move it....so we put a pot over it.
hopefully that will calm it down and it will give us some time until we have to deal with it....
and by deal with it i mean wait for either torrie or my brother to come here and maybe they have the guts to get rid of it..... poor little guy :(

When All Else Fails, Use the Grittle!

So tonight im making dinner as per usual but unfortunately it all goes wrong.
were it started to go wrong was me being frustrated to being with from the fact that my bedroom is taking forever to get completed. - cooking while unhappy is never a good idea!
So i have this bruschetta pizza in my freezer so i say alright to that and an awesome pear-kiwi-strawberry yogurt smoothie.
The smoothie turns out awesome of course but the pizza..... not so much
i put it in the oven and it seems like its gonna be fine , but it wasnt at all.
turns out i set the wrong temperature and also forgot to take the tinfoil off our rack.... the bottem would just NOT COOK.
even once i fixed everything - which clearly was to late - it still would not cook!.
i tried covering just the top with tinfoil so that it wouldnt burn the top
i tried turning the heat up.
nothing was going to work.
that was when i got my grittle pan out. why not right
so i put it on there and would you believe it , it cooked it perfectly.
tasted pretty good too! gonna have to test out some more foods on this baby!

Lettin' the Good Times Roll!

Last night was a girls night out. me , ariffa , and sister torrie decided to head down to the hifi club and have some good fun and let me tell you , it was definitely fun.
We had a blast.
Shit talking the lame guys in the bar....
Doing some dancing ....


and some drinkinn ....
and running away from foreign men and chilling after hours.


the real excitement , however , started up once we - torrie and i - got back to my place.
Torrie was veryveryvery drunk.
She couldnt form sentences , she was vomitting some. she was feeling the affects of a lot of alcohol.
Here i am being the best sister ever trying to get her to drink some water that she decides would be a good idea to pour allllllll over me. then as im pulling her up the stairs she desides to fall up and crash right on top of me.... so we laid at the top of the stairs laughing our ass's off for a good 5 minutes.
Finally then i get her to the bathroom and then to bed.
All that took us to about 6 in the morning....
yep gotta say it was an eventful night.
This spills over to today as well though. Basically I was torries nurse today haha

Thank you Ariffa and Torrie for a good time and the memories!!

When Your Feelin' Down....

Today i had a nervous break down.
Honestly i was a little worried for not only myself , but anyone who would come into contact with me had a good chance of getting knocked the fuck out and continuously beaten apon untill they were twitching from brain damage....brutal? little over the top? maybe , but its how i felt.
The fighting between my family and i has gotten to a point were no one wants to be with there family.
This insaneness has been going on for about 4 years and im just so so tired.
tired of it all.
My friend ariffa asks me what happend because naturally i took some of my rage out on facebook and wrote an "i hate you" status.
I explain what happens and she sends me this picture
which makes me laugh but also cry because i mean i hear that all the time and hopefully one day everything will be alright.
One day ill be out of here. out of the crazy hell hole im in right now.
one day ill be were i want to be and it will be alright.

Untill then i have my dreams , my boyfriend , and my girls to keep my spirit up.

Shed Filled Saturday

So saturday my boyfriend calls me up and asks if i wanna help him build his shed....
first thing that runs through my head is why are you asking me of all people , then i realize well why not right? ive put things together before. building a shed shouldnt be hard. not to mention he doesnt know if i suck or not so...anyways i said id help him.
So we get to his place and the base was built to big but like genious' we said fuck it and built on it anyways.
Now this shed is definitely going to leak there is no doubt about it. there were so many holes and honestly we just didnt give a fuck how this thing was put together. we were cold and just so over building this thing.
everything was bent. nothing fit together right we had left over pieces. and the roof , man oh man let me tell you about the roof.
Because the base was to big and we bent the walls , the roof obviously wasnt going to fit on properly. the holes / spaces between some of the parts were big enough to fit your hand through.
what a shit show...
So to fix our awesome handy work we decided to use this cocking stuff and duck tape to try and fill it in... lol , it filled it in alright but got everywhere and probably still wont keep the rain and snow out. anyways we definitely needed something better so emri went and got spray foam. that shit also got everywhere. just a mess , the whole thing , disaster.
Afterwards we were so cold from being outside till dark and it not being that nice out emri grabs a sleeping bag and all of a sudden tells me " i have the best idea! lets both get in the sleeping bag! "
lol well you can only imagine right.
We both are standing on his bed and are squished together as if we are one big fat person and trying to zip up this sleeping bag. Then once we finally get the sleeping bag on - can you believe we actually got it on - we looked at each other and started laughing because neither of us knew how to lay down without falling from the bed to the floor heads first. so we are trying to sit down but we are facing each other so we are just hitting each others knees and its just a disaster. we end up falling sideways and just collapsing. it was hilarious - kids dont try that at home.

Needless to say it was an eventful mess of a saturday.
Next project , my bedroom carpet.... fingers crossed it goes better then the shed
