Boring day!

Allo friends!!! Today is a cold morning and I thought that I would give y'all a peak into my Monday! WARNING: IT IS NOTHING FUN but it is my start of the week.

Also my best friend has been staying with me and I have been taking her to and from work when I can. FYI

I am doing the time in military time because that is what comes naturally to me.

6:15: wake up. My best friend worked at 7 and it is about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Start the car so he can warm up and the both of us get dressed.

6:45: start the journey to work :(

7:15: came home and started to watch tv and clean up my floor- aka my bed

   I also take this time to catch up on my DVR recordings and catch up on watchin YouTube videos

9:00: Laundry time! I am seriously running out of clothes and it is getting colder plus I am going away for the weekend; and there will be a post on what I am doing since I have to explain it and it's a Legion event. Can't wait to see my friends from South Jersey! Seaside The Red Head aka my da and I are coming Saturday!

11:00: paint my nails. I bought the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Base and Top Coat in Black-O. I have never had gel nails before so this is new for me. But the brush for the top coat was messed up so I used the one from the polish so I could do the top coat. I finished doing my nails around 11:30 and just letting them dry completely so there are no smudges.

12:20: I am making lunch, Da and I went grocery shopping and from what we bought, I am making a fish sandwich and chips aka fries!!! So excited! When it gets closer to finishing I will toast a ciabatta roll and dress the sandwich the same way  I would eat fish & chips which is just ketchup, salt, and pepper. Whilst waiting I am going to snack on a tomato and eat shortly, After, I eat I think that I will do my makeup! Maybe... shall see...  I might since I have dark nails on and going to stay in the dark theme.

14:05: folding laundry whilst watchin tv

15:15: dressed and start makeup

15:45-15:50: start driving to work

16:00-19:00: work

19:15: home from work and look for something to eat for dinner

After this, it is mostly boring unless I go out with my friends. I usually relax and watch some tv, watch movies, Netflix, or YouTube.

Hope y'all enjoyed this post and talk to you soon!!!

Weekend Blues

This weekend was an interesting one at best.

Friday was filled with errands and a lost car part. I was running errands and it was going well until my temp gauge started to rise. I was on my way to get my brother and  I pulled over in Horseshoe Lake. I popped the hood and to my shock a cap was missing. The cap to my antifreeze was missing. That explained a lot. As I was about to freak out, a man and his son pulled up next to the car and asked me if I needed help. He offered to take me to the gas station and to pick up the royal pain in my ass. The both of them were very kind and helpful. Once we got back to the car, Sean and I went to Autozone to see if they had a cap; surer that sh*t they didn't have one and I couldn't call mum since she had left work. But Monday is another day to get the cap. So for now, there is tape over it so I can travel short distances. My poor poor Earl( the name of my car) is old and needs some tender loving care. But he is my rust bucket and I'll drive until I can't no more. Then, I hung out with Veronika from 7:30ish until 12:30ish. I was getting late and I needed to get some rest since I had work in the morning.

As Friday came to a close and the Saturday sun rose, per usual I didn't want to go to work. Also, not want to take Sean to work. But I did and sat in the parking lot at working until it was time to walk into work. Time goes by so slow on the weekends and to be frank, it f*&^ing s*$ks. Once work was over I came home to snack, change, and went to my aunt's house. Her car is in the shop so I drove her around so she can run errands. This is always our time to catch up and bond. While we were shopping we went to look and nail polish. Since it is football season, we were looking for a Giants blue since we love the Giants. But instead of getting blue, we got a red. Whilst looking at the polish, I found two colors that I will go back and buy. One is a pretty teal by Sally Hansen and the other by POI called 'Lincoln Park After Dark" which is a dark burgundy color. Stepping out of my comfy zone y'all.  I love my aunt so much, she is truly my other mother. After I left I had plans until my best friend's mom called me and my night changed. I went to see what was going on and wow. I am still in shock about what has happened. So instead of relaxing with my friends, I was comforting my best friend and trying calm things down.

Now on Sunday morning, we both got up since she had to work at 7 and I drove her since she doesn't have a car. Whilst she is working, I will go about my day and wait until she needs me to come get her. Hopefully things will calm down and I can drink a nice cup of tea to wind down the night but we shall see.  And I did end my night off with a cup of tea!!!

Homemade Strawberry Lemonade Pops!!! Great Way to Cool Off!

Allo and welcome back! Today I will be sharing an experiment that my friends and I came up with on a late night and it was delicious!

We were shopping at the store and I saw ice pop mold for $.99 and I was getting them. All I needed was something to fill the molds with. We originally went to the store for mac n cheese and come out with more than I really wanted to spend.

So I picked up lemonade and strawberries. The whipped was was going to go in the ice pop but I never did.

First things first, you will need:
 ice pop molds
 fresh or frozen fruit of your choice
 water, juice, or lemonade of your choice
 blender

Add in the fruit(s) and liquid(s) of your choice. I chose strawberries and lemonade since I thought that it would be delicious! But you can add whatever tickles your fancy. I would make a peach, mango, and strawberry pop! Once you blend to the consistency your happy with, pour the mixture into the molds.
To my surprise, I should have bought two molds because I made enough for two molds. Fill the molds not to the top but just enough to make a good cast. Place in the freezer for 4-8 hours or overnight. Once completely frozen, all that is left to do is take the pops out and enjoy!

The molds that I picked up have a straw built-in the base so as the pop melts, you can drink the liquid when your done or as you eat. I have to say, it was a successful late night run to the store and can't wait to do it again with other combinations! Hope y'all give these a try and post your photos! Talk to you soon!

Clambake 2014!!!

Hello everyone.
Recently on the 16th, the Legion post I belong to hosted a clambake ran by the SAL (Sons of the American Legion) and it was fun!!! Every year the SAL have this fundraiser to raise money to pay bills and give money to a variety of charities that all three organization within the American Legion support.

Everything starts the night before bagging clams (which I stopped doing) and more preparing the foods and other things for Saturday. On the day of, the grills are set up and the beer truck is getting ready. Tables and chairs I think are done the day before. People are allowed to put up a tent to reserve a table. And as 1pm gets close the line forms and the food is getting heated.

The doors open at 1pm and I help at the entrance with my aunt. She can't do math so I am in charge of stamping hands, giving out the door prize tickets, and proofing those who look to young to drink. Once you go past us then you can go get your food and drink and listen to the live band and have fun until 5pm. Once it is over clean up begins and it goes fast. I love it!!!

It is always fun to see my Legion family and catch up on things and just pick up where the year before ended. I don't have any photos because  I was so busy running around between the table and going to Shoprite :/   idk anymore what to say. I can't wait until 2015 clambake and I will be able to drink!!! But I wont because I am a responsible adult!!!

Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon!

Been Too Long!

Hey y'all...
 I am sorry for the long absence. I have been busy with work and looking for a new job. I hope all is well. My life over the past month has been boring really. I am going to post something about a clambake that I recently worked at and what other American Legion functions I will be attending.

I know that it is back to school season and I hope that everyone whether you have started already or getting ready, have a great school year and let it have many adventures and full of fun.
