The Never Ending Bowl of Rice

So last night a few people had come over and I made dinner.
I made rice, sweet chilli lime pork and salad.
My first mistake was the salad. I definately did not make enough for everyone but who gives a shit. Im the only one who likes salad anyways.
My second "mistake" was the crazyness that happend with the rice. -my meat was cooked perfectly by the way :)
Anyways about the rice. There was going to be 6 people dinning
soo for some reason me and my mother thought that meant making 6 cups of rice.......for those of you who dont know
6 cups of rice works out to be enough for 24 people......haaa..
So I put the 6 cups into my medium sized dish and put it in the microwave, when it was done.. there was rice over flowing this stupid bowl! AND once we were serving it.. its like it kept growing.. it was legit the never ending bowl of rice.
No matter how much anyone took, by the end of the night it didnt even look like anyone had taken any rice at all! What a wreck.
Either way though, was kinda good because tonight im making a stir fry with it. Oh welll.

Electronics

Anyone who knows me knows, I am no good when it comes to electronics.
My phones never last more then a year and a half.
My computers always crater 
And everything else just refuses to work properly for me. 
Like my oven for example, It blew up in my face for no apparent reason. Ya I was working so hard to make a delicious dinner in it.. and it beat me up because of it. Dick.
Yesterday my phone decided it didnt want to be with me any longer..it shut off and hasnt turned back on since. It basically said "fuck you"and that it was over me...what a way to break up...ass.hole
Now I am phoneless. I am also laptopless because yet again! (third time) my laptop has decided its going to be an idiot and drink to much therefore causing it to be slow, hyper and do random stupid things, have a drunken coma(aka not start for long time periods) and be extremely rude!
I dont know when Ill ever learn...sigh
I deserve better then these abusive, rude, drunken behaviour electronics.
One day I will get that night in shinning armour...
untill then though, Ill just suck it up cause lets face it, you cant get anywhere now a days without electronics. Its the way of the future.

Bad Drivers; GO DIE

I can not even believe what just happened to me on my little errand run to shoppers.
Give me a moment to collect and compose myself so I can handle this professionally...
FUCK IT!


Holy shit! In the mother effing parking lot at shoppers some stupid fucking bitch decides its okay to fucking drive like 90mph (exaggeration yes but not by much) beside us while we were stopped and going to fucking turn into our parking spot which she could CLEARLY SEE THATS WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO!

She zooms right passed us almost hitting us.
IS SHE FUCKING SERIOUS! SHE COULD HAVE KILLED ME! WHAT IF I OPENED MY FUCKING DOOR?? HMMMMMMMM? WHAT IF WE TURNED OUR CAR JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE! SHE WOULD HAVE FUCKING SLAMMED INTO US!!!!!!!!!!!
And she didnt even fucking slow down one bit even after she realized what she fucking did. She turned her head around, yea, but kept driving at fucking 90mph!


Like???? god fucking damn! mother fucking effffff!!!!!!!!! 


....For those of you who arent aware, as it is I dont really like cars.. I mean I like them, they are cool.. but when im in them Im 90% of the time having heart attacks over and over again.. they scare me.
So when this stupid bitch decided to be a stupid bitch, you can imagine how I was taking the whole situation.... NOT FUCKING VERY WELL!


I HATE fucking stupid ass drivers who DO NOT  pay attention to ANYONE else around them, I hope this bitch crashes her car and magically decapitates herself!


Okay, Im good now. Im happy with myself.. :)

Can t Spel Wroth Shit...

So its been brought to my attention many, many...many times before that I can never seem to write anything without spelling something wrong....and its true! I cant!
Whether it be a card im writing or something im typing, even with spell check and me asking how to spell each and every word, I still manage to fuck up somehow!
I dont have any learning disabilities that I am aware of...and I dont really feel like finding out if I truly do have one... because then it becomes real. Set in stone. On record that I, Brittany Elizabeth Grimes, am an idiot.
Ya there is no way in hell I am giving my twin sister, her boy toy, and my little brother legit proof that I am a misfunctioning machine.
Luckily life goes on! And as life goes on I will continue to spell shit wrong and fuck up every single card I write in.
Good thing it doesnt bother me...:D

The Kitchen Table Point of View

Alright so due to my circumstances I have not eaten at my kitchen table in 3 years.
However yesterday during my vegan challenge, It was the first time in 3 years that I got to eat three meals in one day at that kitchen table.
To most I probably sound a little bit insane, but when youve gone without something as minuscule as eating a proper meal at your kitchen table -it becomes a huge deal.
Things are finally feeling semi normal now. Because of this kitchen table I feel like things are finally getting under way to a better life.
Im relieved! I find myself feeling very calm and at peace -as much peace that you can have at this point.
Yes to you all it may just be your average, silly, not important kitchen table,
But to me its a symbol of hope that things will return to normal.

Healthy Junk Food

So my friend Ariffa is the best cook Ive ever known.
Anything she makes, its the bomb.
I got this recipe from her (http://sweetohmcooking.com/) who got it from another blog (http://ohsheglows.com/)

The Butter-nut Crusted Parsnip Fries -angels sing

*photo courtesy of sweetohmcooking*
All it is:
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into thin fry-like strips (can use carrots or sweet potatoes as well)
Then Toss together with:
  • 3 tbsp Peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt -or as much as your taste buds desire
Simple right! yep.
Then you just throw 'em on a pan with parchment paper,
Stick 'em into a preheated oven at 400F,
Cook for 30-50 minutes -looking for crispiness
And voilĂ !

All thats left is to munch down and enjoy!
Seriously you will not be disappointed, If you love peanut butter and salt -youll die and go to heaven

Good Deeds

I feel so good about myself today.
On the way home from my first yoga class ever, I was sitting on the bus and this little old lady was trying to reach the thing to notify that her stop was coming up-she couldnt reach it!
So being the good samaritan I am, I reached up and did it for her :D
She seemed relieved. She smiled, thanked me and walked off.

Felt good to help someone else for without being asked or expected.
Pay it forward with random acts of kindness!

Sunrise

So this morning I woke up at 6:45 am -I was supposed to go to Edmonton but things didnt work out.
When I walked by my kitchen window and I saw the most beautiful shade of bright pink in the sky.
It was in this straight horizontal beam and the sky was this awesome blueish grey-black.
I stopped for a second and took a deep breath in and realised this was the most peaceful thing ive ever seen!
Ive seen sunsets before, but there was something about this sunrise that was just so quiet, blissfull. I didnt want to move, I wished it would have lasted forever.
As fast as it came, it went :(
It was then that I said I have to see this again, so hopefully I can get my butt out of bed that early the next few mornings-one to get a picture and two to start the day of calmly.
...maybe this will help my anger issues??!

Face Punched!

Let me start off by saying im in no way racist nor do I willingly hate on people.
But some things just get to me...

Today my friend sent me a message on Facebook telling me about her day.
Usually when she tells me stories about her day there really good!, but I was totally NOT expecting what she ended up telling me...

It started with her getting on the train to come home from her day at work.
Quietly reading her book and keeping to herself they pass Lions Park Station were two Native (sorry if thats politically incorrect) girls who obviously were intoxicated board the train -they were also smoking..on the train..mhm
As she passed Banff Trail, University, Brentwood stations, the smoking girl began to sing loud and proud, the girl across from her giggled innocently-just like anyone would.
When she got to Crowfoot Station got off and hurried to catch her bus. As she came out of the Crowfoot biulding someone was stepping on her heels -it was the Native girl
Right when she turned around to see who this person was, the Native girl PUNCHED HER IN THE FACE!
My friend stared at this girl registering clearly that she was very intoxicated and turned to walk away only to be punched again in the side of the head!
Now being the classy lady my friend is she knows this needs to come to and end so she turns to the Native girls friend and says" please control your friend, shes punching people in the face"
only to get this reply "she can do whatever she wants"-HOW RUDE
So my friend just walks away and heads to her bus only to have these two crazy girls follow her screaming at her things like...
"YOU WUNNA FUCKIN BRAWL SLUT? WHAT DO YOU GOT WHAT, YOU THINK YOUR HOT SHIT, COME FIGHT ME!!! IM GOING TO FUCKING STAB YOU BITCH! CUNT!"
.......... potty mouth -tisk tisk
So my friend just gets on her bus and calls the police to notify them that there are crazy girls punching people at Crowfoot Station.
She is my hero, shes to classy!

Honestly though, its situations like this were it makes racial stereotypes hard not to believe.

When the Light Leaves Your Eyes

Today I was taking some pictures and while looking through them I noticed that my eyes are not as bright and glowing like they used to be.. this is not okay with me.
My eyes are my best feature I believe and if they loose there spunk and amazing, glowing, bright, shinny blue-greenish-ness...I dont know what ill do.
Even without make-up they are still seaming to be dull... :(


I am hoping that its just a phase..like maybe they are in there teenage years and like most teenagers, they are getting as much sleep as possible.. right.
I have some hope that they will bounce back to match my bright and shinny new out look on life! :D
