when a watched pot can boil...
In my foods lab today, I made deviled eggs. Now, deviled eggs require hard-cooked eggs, and hard-cooked eggs require boiling water. I did learn that you’re not supposed to keep the eggs in boiling water for very long. Once they reach a boil, you’re supposed to turn the heat down and simmer them. Now, I did put the eggs in before the water boiled, but I feel this is still valid. I put...
Guess What!
No, I don’t have a date, my brother hasn’t killed me, and my homework’s not even done!
But, I do feel excited for some reason. Who knows, maybe it’s a good sign.
I slept in this morning. It was bad. I had four minutes from the time I woke up to the time my ride picked me up. Not a good start. I didn’t get to shower, and I forgot my wallet at home. At least I had...
I'm not dead yet! (and two year olds stop being...
So Anarchist and I are actually getting along so far. No arguments, just playing around. I wondered how long it would take for the house to become a mess, I just didn’t realize it would be less than 24 hours. Sheesh. I guess that’s one problem: neither of us like doing dishes.
the Cute One
So tonight my sister and her husband (Tiggr and Eeyore, respectively) along with their daughter...
will we survive?
So, today both my mom and my dad left. I guess they think that now that Anarchist and I are adults, we can fend for ourselves. Well, since they left us a car we can go to the store (aside from the fact we both work at Macey’s the grocery store), and we have mac & cheese pretty much down. No, the real concern is: will we kill each other?
Growing up, we were always at each others’...

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to finishing homework, tomorrow my plans include sleeping in and Sunday, I want to take a...
nanowrimo
I’m taking a step. for the better or the worse, I’ve signed up for NaNoWriMo.
What is NaNoWriMo? I’ll explain what I know of it. Better yet, I’ll let the website speak for itself (boring, I know):
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel...
there's nothing else out there
This is just hilarious. Hee hee hee.
Note: This is from a comedy duo, not an actual interview.
this really cool person
So, I’ve never actually meet alishka babushka, but I love to read her blog. Right now, she’s doing a give away, and your chances are quite high that you’ll win! So go check her out.

weekend
Wow. What a weekend. I’m sorry, I don’t have any pictures right now, since my camera is broken and I’m too busy/lazy to try to get it fixed.
In good news, I’m wearing contacts! It constantly amazes me that I’m not wearing glasses, yet I can see reasonably well (not perfect vision, but I don’t need perfection). Wahoo! Actually, after attending class, my vision...
hmmmm
Even though it’s supposed to be a sad occasion, I’m excited for this weekend. I get to see all my siblings! Some fly in today, others come in tomorrow. This means that no homework will be happening this weekend, and hopefully there will be pictures next week. My nieces and nephews are SO cute! In fact, why wait for next week? Here are some pictures right now:
I promise I do...
Apple wants my money
I try to be frugal. As a college student, I don’t always have a lot of money. Until this semester, that is. The problem with this semester is that I’m living at home. Home is rent free. Home doesn’t have a grocery bill. Home is cheap. Which means my bank account, for the first time, actually has money in it. Money that is not going anywhere soon (hopefully). Money that calls my...
today
Sometimes I wonder if something wrong with me. You’d think that after all of this, I’d find some sort of outlet.
Not yet.
Today was quite the day. It started out with me waking up at 6:45 terrified that I had slept in and wondering why I had stayed up until midnight last night. Which is when I remembered that it was Saturday, not Monday. So, I went back to bed.
When I came...
Friday!
1. One of the best concerts/plays/movies I ever saw that I really didn’t think I’d like was Nacho Libre.
2. Black Bottomed Cheesecake is a recipe I recently made (or meal I recently ordered) that was delicious!
3. It’s time for me to study.
4. An afternoon nap is quite refreshing.
5. If I never hear the word “X” again, it’ll be too soon.
6. To one side of the...
it all happens at once...
When someone asks how you are, how much do you tell them?
If something bad is happening, who all do you tell?
How long can you cry?
What if you don’t know when it’s going to happen?
This week has been hard. I just found out my nephew is going to die before thanksgiving. He is six, and has been battling cancer for 2.5 years. The cancer won. I will be flying down to Houston for the...
audiophile
Hello, my name is Yellow M&M and I’m an audiophile.
I’ve always liked music, from the time I was little. Even though it was mostly through the radio (and I didn’t even own one!) I loved to listen to it. As I grew older, the technology advanced. Soon, CD’s were everywhere. They intrigued me. I’d borrow my siblings CD’s and put them on the computer,...
Welsh homework
In a desperate attempt to make this into homework, I will post a paragraph in Welsh. If you really want to know what it says, comment and I’ll post it.
S’mae! Dw i’n M&M. Dw i’n dod o Orem. Dw i’n hoffi Cysgu. Sw i’n hoffi Cyfrifiadurol. Dw i’n hoffi darllen. Dw i’n ysgol Frangeg. Dw i’n hoffi bwyta hufen iâ.
Yes, it’s repetitive....

I’m British!
majors
As this blog title (well, web address) states, I am going into Accounting. Or, so I thought. You see, today I had an accounting test. And the thought hit me: “Do I really want to do this for the rest of my life?” Of course, tests are NOT life. But, I got low enough on this test that I’m starting to wonder - “Is there a different major out there for me?” The problem...
