BOGO

Well you know how I said this was gonna be 'not such a great day'? Not so true. It turned out to be 'quite an interesting day'.

We went out grocery shopping to Giant (yay Giant! Boo Landis!!!) and it took us like...an hour and a half. It was CARAZY. It kinda worked like this...Josh was designated to push the cart (mom can't push or lift stuff cause of her arm) and they slowly went around the store as mom sent me and Sanya out to get certain stuff. Shopping is usually kinda boring but today there were REALLY funny moments...

The first thing mom sent me and Sanya to get was...YEAH. And Sanya had to come cause we had two coupons for BOGO...ok quick sidenote about BOGO. Me and Jenny were at a store once shopping with her mom and her mom sent us to buy the BOGO ice cream. So we got to the ice cream section...and for LITERALLY, like TEN MINUTES, we stood in front of the case and were like, "Where's the BOGO? I can't find BOGO! Is that a flavor? Wait...is it a brand??" and we got a LOT of really weird looks, and finally her mom came over and told us it was Buy One Get One...and we were like OOOOOH...but it was rather funny and I think of that every time now. :D

So ANWAY...we went to get YEAH that was BOGO. And so I gave Sanya the coupon thing to get it and I went and was looking for Dove soap (hah...we're out...as I discovered the morning I tried to shave my legs and ran all around the house in a towel looking for the soap :P) and so I'm looking at the soap and there's like a few customers around me and Sanya comes up and says, quite loudly, "Rachel...we want the Tampax kind right?" and I said yeah and she's like, "Ok, that's what I thought cause that's what I got last time." The women around me all turned and GAWKED. Legitimately GAWKED. It was HYSTERICAL. Oh I nearly died...see, you gotta understand that Sanya's been out shopping with me and mom before so she knows what we get and she knows what it is...in a way. Haha!!! OMWord...when my mom told her what both of them were she strongly declared that she was gonna be a "PAD ONLY" girl. HYSTERICAL. Aaaah...I digress...

My mom went to a work "Christmas party" tonight (????) and she had to bring a dessert. So me...being the adventurous one, offered to make it. So I found a recipe I liked and we bought the stuff needed at the grocery store and once we got home I like RUSHED to put it all together. It was going great...until we ran out of carrots. And then we realized we didn't have the correct type of pan. Hah...so as I'm typing this all out I'm realizing that it sounds really calm and everything but it wasn't...it was HECTIC. Who ever knew carrots were such a big deal? Haha. So we decided to put what was supposed to be a cake into muffin pans. Well...most of you have seen the picture...that didn't turn out so well. What I was making was a carrot cake with a cream cheese filling, the batter tasted AMAZING (but there were three raw eggs in it...oops), and so I put that in the muffin tin thingy...and filled it up to the brim. NO ONE TOLD ME YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE ROOM FOR IT TO RISE. So...the muffins overflowed QUITE a bit and so it looks like a cake...I'm serious. You look at the pan and it looks like a cake. I haven't had the courage yet to cut into it and try to get the muffins out...maybe after this. :P

So that was the big adventure of the night...it was quite a catostrophe. And guess what I learned today? Catostrophe's make a lot of dirty dishes. So I did the dishes from that morning and then the dishes from the cake accident. Then I 'made' dinner for the youngins and me. I cheated. We had Bagel Bites. I was gonna try and make this new omelet thingy I wanna try but I figured I'd save it for Wednesday cause I didn't feel like doing anymore dishes.

Haha...in the midst of my amazing cooking of the Bagel Bites, I had to go upstairs and help mom with her wardrobe crisis. Me and mom share MANY traits, but one big one is that we can never decide what outfit to wear. Haha! So she had on my red sweater and then I recommended something else and she'd put it on, pout, take it off and then try something else on. It was rather comical. ;D So instead of wearing MY red sweater, she settled on wearing MY nice shirt with MY cool bracelot from Homecoming. Funny how that all works out. :]

After she left all three of us crashed on the couch and watched Chicken Little...good times. And David texted me!!! So it was extra good. :D I miss him a ton when he's gone at Cadets. Like it's so cool thinking about that he's off doing some super amazing thing while I'm lounging on the couch and I'm so proud of him and I LOVE that he's doing it and all that, but still, I miss him.

Haha...that mello tech dude is funny... ;D

ANYWHO. That was my day. Kinda interesting, not half bad. I didn't get the homework part done though...uh oh...that'll be tomorrow's chore. *sigh* Oh moose.
