Good Luck Crawlers?

Monday, October 19, 2009

I was coming home from work today and saw this thing standing in front of my door.



I FREEAKED ME THE F&^*K OUT, I tell you. It was "guarding" the door, preventing me from getting into my house. I hate creepy crawlers - anything that crawls around with more than 4 legs - that includes spiders, flies, mosquitoes, wasps, lizards, potato bugs, etc... I yelped, screamed, yelled, hoping that Hunnybuns was home to "take care" of it for me. But no such luck. I was frozen with fear. I just couldn't walk past it. I just paced in front of it nervously, waiting for it to move away, hoping, praying that it wouldn't come crawl up my leg and bite me in the bootie. I felt like an idiot. This tiny little lizard against me who could easily step on it and squash it. UGH, just the thought makes me ill.

The weird thing is that I used to play with all these things when I was little. I used to go chasing around the lizards to catch them in my home-made cage with the local boys. Cruel, yea, I know. But I had more fun playing outside with the boys than playing with dolls with the girls. Big surprise. But I don't know how or when I developed this fear of these things. So bazaar.

Anyways, about 10 minutes past, and soon it scurried under the steps. I hope it creeped away from my house.

Last month, it was a praying mantis. A bright green praying mantis stood right in front of my door exactly where the lizard stood. I talked to my love psychic about it and she said that it was lucky, and that it would bring me some good fortune. And that it did! 2 days later, I got a check for $700 for a minor bumper scrape that I got from someone rear-ending me. I was going to fix it, but not if I get to keep the $700! The scrape is barely noticeable anyways.

Anyway, I don't know if this green-spotted lizard is also lucky, but I will hope it is. And pray for more praying mantis to come to my door. They do look so creepy and scary though.... I'd post a picture but I can't even bare to look at it...

Confession

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Ok Ok Ok, I have a confession. I've been procrastinating my next blog post because I was too embarrassed to post my 3rd cooking attempt result. So for the last few days, I've been trying make some edible meals, and DEN-DEN-DUUUUN! Ta-da! Here is what I made for lunch for Hunnybuns on Tuesday and for dinner last night. He actually liked it! and it was actually tasty! And it wasn't chicken! I was sorta proud. :)

Tuesday lunch: Tacos and broccoli for lunch


Last night's dinner: steak and potatoes with creamed corn





This creamed corn was actually an accident. I didn't mean to make it this way, but I accidentally poured in too much pepper into it - thus the dark color. Creamed corn is supposed to be yellow, right? uhh...not this dark color? It looks like I burned it on the pan too. Yep.. guilty. Oops again? Yea, a LOT of pepper got poured in.... oops.... But it actually tasted SO GOOD! I put in some jalapeƱos in it that gave it a kick too. Who knew! Who said creamed corn was supposed to be yellow! :P

Next On The Dinner Menu...

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

OKAY! I'm getting ready for another night of cooking tomorrow night.

On the menu:

NY Steak broiled to a perfect medium - just like how Hunnybun likes it.
Rice Pilaf
Steamed Broccoli

It's a simple menu. There's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I can mess this up... unless I cook the steak too long that it turns out like rubber. =\ Let's hope that doesn't happen.

and if I'm ambitious enough, I'll be baking a chocolate cake made from scratch.

I'm trying to pump myself up so that I pull off my first tasty meal tomorrow night! This time, no distractions!!

What else.... Have you ever tried to cancel your gym membership? I've been trying to cancel my 24 hour fitness gym membership because Costco is now selling a 2 year membership at a fraction of the price that I've been paying for it. They are giving me the runaround. I called corporate to cancel a few days ago and the first guy tells me that my membership will be cancelled and NOTHING should be charged to my card anymore. Low and behold, another monthly charge on my credit card yesterday. So I call them asking why the charge went through. Their reply: "Oh, I'm so sorry that happened maam. I've pushed through the cancellation once again and you shouldn't be charged anymore. And since your next month's due has been paid and you've already paid for first and last month membership when you signed up, your last day of membership will be December 2. WTF! So now, I have to wait til December 2nd to buy the membership from Costco? Sigh,.. ridiculous! And they will not refund me that last month's due, of course... =\

Stay tuned for the results of my THIRD dinner attempt! =)

Comment Comments Comments

So for those who tried to leave me comments and it was tweaking out, so sorry.... I think it's working now. Frustrating experience with blogger!!! I think this is why I prefer Wordpress... which is why I have 2. Don't ask me why. I started one on Wordpress and wanted to see how blogger was different. Then couldn't decide which one to keep, so continued to update both with same content since they looked different. But now that they look sorta similar, I don't know which one to keep! And this is after countless number of hours playing with both platforms... EGH! not important... sleep more important...

Almost the weekend! Have a good night everyone!
