rage

I just watched a 30 Days episode where a mom binge drinks for 30 days as an attempt to get her kid to stop drinking. This was so infuriating. The daughter was a selfless spoiled brat, and the mom was even more ridiculous by being a conscious enabler. There are 3 kids in the family, and it was so obvious that the father was such a better parent. His kid is staring in disgust, and the other son hates his drunk mom. If your kid drinks, gets drunk, and passes out on a weekly basis, that is time for DISCIPLINE not a 30 Days episode. No only that, but the girl learned absolutely nothing at all. She basically said, I wouldn't stop drinking unless my mom died from it. Well, mom, apparently you have to DIE before your daughter will listen to your concerns. Great job.

Maybe I'm just wired differently because I really can't stand it when people are destructively inebriated on a regular basis. I get it, people get drunk and want to party. To push yourself to the point of danger, death, and shame? Your brain and your body need to have a talk with each other because you are giving yourself a death notice.

GAH...I HATE DRUNK BITCHES.

kitchen appliances + 1

I am a new owner of a crock pot. I've wanted one for a long time now. This is the one reason why I finally took the 30 dollar plunge. Crack pot pho!

Other reasons are....
I like to make my own Chicken broth/stock.
Gas is too expensive to leave on a stove or oven for 4 hours.
More soupy delicious things to make for myself. Chili, chili cheese dip, beef stew, etc etc.
Finally can make pho

I've got to look up more recipes now, so I can figure out what things taste good in a crock pot. Personally, I'm just happy that I can make chicken stock without watching it and adding water every 30 minutes. I'm making a batch right now, but just with bones. We'll see how this one will turn out.

special k chocolatey bleh

I had a coupon for $1 off Special K cereal. I also enjoy chocolate, so I thought it'd be a good idea to get the Special K with the dark chocolate in it. Contrary to its description, it's not very delightful. They morphed the chocolate somehow so that it wouldn't melt in the milk, but it's just a weird taste and texture to me. I tried to fix it by using chocolate milk in the cereal. It kind of made it yuckier. Today, I just dumped a bunch of cinnamon on it, and now it's not bad. I'll probably just do this to all my bleh cereals. I think an overdose of cinnamon just reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, probably my favorite kid cereal.

If you know me, you know that I don't like kid cereal. Even when I was a kid, I'd eat Crispix and Just Right, which I don't think they sell in the US anymore (boo). I think Lucky Charms are gross, and those marshmallows are like eating sugared styrofoam. Fruit Loops are also multi-colored grossness to me, but Fruity Cheerios are not bad since it still tastes like human food. Actually, all of the Cheerios are good.

My mom was very anti-food coloring when I was a kid, so I guess that's kind of transferred onto me. Plus, the first time I had a blue Garfield fruit roll up, I crapped out blue. MMMMM yummy.

weird....

First of all, I just have to say that I'm relieved that Cuddy & House FINALLY DID IT! 5 seasons of tiptoeing has finally come to fruition. If Cuddy has House's baby, I don't know what I'll do with myself. Haha.

On to other things, Mr. P and I had weird dreams the other day. Even though we didn't dream the same thing, we had similar elements in them. Obama, photo shoot, vodka, beating someone up. Interesting eh? Not sure if any of that is significant, but it's cool.
