Hello!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Today, we’re going to a meeting with a customer to check out everything they have, and the area we’ll be working on, because they want us to install a pet door! ^-^ Because it’s all the way in Pflugerville, I had to wake up at 8:30! Amazingly enough, I set an alarm on my Iheartradio app, and it actually woke me up! So, we got there, we got everything signed, and then I looked for the screws and electronic key but they weren’t there. When we were on our way home, the customer called and was like ‘surprise, they were in the battery compartment!’ which is the one place I did not look. We were already more than halfway home, so we’re just going to do it tomorrow.

We picked up sodas on the way home, and then when we got home, my mom suggested I fix something I had been thinking of for a while! Stuffed bell peppers!

image

They’re stuffed with some sautรฉed onions, mixed in with ground up wild game meat, and some rice, all topped with cheese! I steamed the peppers first while the meat was cooking, and then when they were just getting about 50% less rigid, I took them out to cool so I could handle them. I then used a spoon and put in about three spoonfuls of meat before topping that with cheese, and then adding ยผ cup of rice and water into the pan with the meat. After that was done, I filled them to the top, added cheese, and then put the tops on!

image

My mom sliced several carrots and cooked them in the water the bell peppers were in. They were so sweet, it was amazing! We also served it with two sliced tomatoes each. Upon cutting open the peppers, this is what you see:

image

Oh, soooo good.

After relaxing a bit, I decided to vlog outside (no I have not uploaded #300 yet, I’m that much of a procrastinator, DON’T WORRY, SOON.)

Here’s my ‘little bit shorter’ hair;

image

Spikaaay.. But I figured out what I really wish to do with it and showed the idea to my mom.  We should be attacking it sometime soon. 💇

image

It’s a very pretty sunset, aaannnnd…..

My vlog-bloggerception!

image

Hehehe. I had to do it. Yes, I was recording! Now this will forever be the inception of Bloggary! Ehehe.

So I was out there for a couple hours, then both my mom and dad came outside. We listened to some music on my radio app, and then the breeze died….so inside we went!  After that, we had a little popcorn and watched TV! I also washed some clothes *gasp*. I had my mom wax my legs, because I had let the hair grow out specifically so the lower legs could be waxed. It was…gross, and painful! We used to wax it quite a bit a couple years ago, though…so I think we deadened some of the nerves attached to the follicles. Hah..woop for ripping out hair! (On the legs) 😂

(09-04-14)
So, we’re set to install the pet door today, and I’ve woken up at about 8:20, and I’m going to actually take a shower this morning. Yay for being clean! 😝

So we arrived around 10:40, and it was very dark around us and back south to home, plus there were a few drops of rain as we were driving up.

image

  We then got started on opening the packets and getting the wall template placed. I got the template in place and cut through it into the sheetrock and then my dad used his jigsaw to cut through the sheetrock completely. After that, we had to go around the corner to a Home Depot and I went in to get one 2×4 for framing around the hole in the wall!

image

After all that framing in, we cut out the other side, which was only covered by hardy siding and cardboard sheathing, besides the insulation that was in the wall. We trimmed the space a bit and then finally squeezed the pet door into the hole in the wall. Ta-dah!

image

I cleaned up and started taking tools back out at around 4:45 while my dad wrote up everything.

Well, we finally left, and then once hitting 183, we found the traffic to absolutely SUCK.

image

Look at all those cars!

Why? Because the lousy COTA (Circuit of the Americas) race track is hosting an event of Brad Paisley. Okay. That’s fine. We’re getting subway for dindin tonight, so no biggie, riiiight? Wrong. I went into the subway and all they had left was flatbread, one piece of whole wheat, and one of white. Niiiice subway.. Okay flatbred then! Always good to try something new I guess? Then we got sodas and headed home!

image

Believe it or not, the flatbread(despite not being the best at holding in all the veggies) was quite tasty! We watched some TV and then I just passed out asleep because I had a mega, horrible, wretched headache. I woke up a few hours later, though and put my leftover sandwich away, even though I was just going to end up grabbing them an hour or so later :P. So, I stayed up a little lager <–WHAT? later and then finally just gave in to sleep.

(09-05-14)
Hiiii!!!

It’s Fridaaay yeaah…
And after getting up, I went outside to help get the tools out of the truck and we went to the back for a little bit before I had to go change, because we’re going to the baaaaank. We stopped to refuel the truck first, and there were just some absolute crazies driving around the pumps.

So, we made it to the bank, then made it back home all safe and with sodas! As soon as we got home, it was time for an early dinner of egg sandwich(es)!

image

Doesn’t that look delicious? Ohhh it was so good. While eating, we watched ridiculousness, which was extremely funny this week. I mean, seriously… So FUNNY. After chillin for a bit, we went outside at the expectation of rain..look! Look at those CLOUDS!

image

And the look at this one! It’s a cute little pachyderm!

image

I had this thread on my shirt when I went to sit down…so…I turned it into……………………

image

A creepy Waluigi mustache! Hey..hey..I mustache you a question…hehehehehe!!!! 😂
 
Okay..-snort- I know, that was sooo lame, but anywaaaays…a little after the hope for the LYING clouds to drop rain died, we went back out

image

(Look at them…LYING.)
We tried to see if any bats would fly over.. But 0…none…nada. So much sadness…lying clouds, and then THE BATS? How dare they!!!

Haha..anyways, my mom got dough started for donuts, and we watched some TV while it was whipping up. I went outside for a bit with Finn, and we were trying to find any rats who have been hanging around(like they tend to do) when I spotted this big female orb spider. Isn’t she beautiful? I saw her on the wind chime the other day,and actually thought she was dead because she wasn’t moving and was hanging upside down. Needless to say I nearly peed. She moved quick when I touched her leg (don’t try that at home kids!), and she twitched her legs like she was waiting to bite something. So…I left her alone!

image

image

We found no rats…maybe we scared them away for good? But anyways…onto donuts!

I worked the dough flat and was allowed to cut it all out! My mom and I worked together to make some awesome donuts…and…here they are!

image

I โค U ๐Ÿ™‚

Cute donuts, hmmmn?

We stayed up reeeaaaally late, and that just ends up reinstating my vampiric state o____o

(09-06-14)

Happy SATURDAY!

So, I woke up kind of late, and tonight Drake and Lil Wayne are supposed to be having a rap-off at the COTA…joy. So we’re going to go to the store after having a refreshing snack of sliced cukies and a few tomatoes. It was really good, but we can’t leave right away, because my dad has to ice down his knee.

Okay. We’re going into JD’s. There are an alarmingly high amount of screaming children running around. !*@!#*!@!*@#!!!!! Yes, symbols, exactly. There was this 8 yr old with a tablet, playing games on it, running around, while his sister(?) who was about 5 was chasing him and trying to pull it out of his hands. I don’t know..but I have to ask, how many of you just want to stick your leg out and trip one of them irritating children? Because..I..so badly just WANT TO. I know, that’s bad..but goodness. It wasn’t just the children I wanted to beat, though. There was this group of four guys walking closely together, irritatingly slow, and I wanted to beat them each in the face with my box of ice cream. Yes, ice cream isn’t 6billion dollars for 5 quarts, so we got some! ^_^

Finally we got to the check out, we just barely made it unscathed, and we got to a newly opened register that nobody was yet standing at. Then we made it home, despite people not understand that you have to actually turn when cars aren’t coming -_-. So, we got banquet meals, because they’re only 88ยข, aaaand upon opening them, they’ve gotten smaller. Hah.

So, upon returning home, we started making salad, and then after it was nearly done, we started some chicken nugget and little crinkle fries banquet meals. It was quite yum! It was also very hard to finish, because it was such a GIANT SALAD. We spent much time watching college football….longhorns sucked..like, bad. Fighting Irish won though *yay*

THEN WE fell asleep…yeah. ๐Ÿ˜›

(09-07-14)

Happy Sunday! ๐Ÿ™‚

So, I actually woke up near 12:30! Shocking, right?

So, my parents started on breakfast, and then after potatoes were done, I began toasting bread and moved the potatoes to another pan before starting bacon! I’m cooking two packs because they had a deal(but those were sold out, so they gave us a different item in its place at the same price) andddddddd because we’re planning on having BLT’s tomorrow!!! Yeeaaahhhh!!

So, by 2 it was ready! Tadaaaaahhhh!

image

With yolky little balls of sunshiiiine! So loverly, indeed!

After food, we watched Foosball Football! Okay..COWBOYS sucked today.. But at least the Broncos won, right? Yeah! (Quiet no’s in the distance) WHAT?! ยฐ-ยฐ

Anyways…at middle evening-ish time… We went and got drinks! Then we had some veggies as a snack!

After that point…it was time for the finale of Leftovers. It was…a little too focused I think on Kevin in the beginning, but the latter part had a lot of emotion in it, it was beautiful in a way. I think the ending was quite good, but I believe they’re having a season two, so….we’ll see next year? 😗 We were hungry afterwards, so we had poocooooorrrnnn!

I just noticed I kept on saying “so,” before ALMOST EVERYTHING! I’m so crazy.

But..after taking so much time to actually write this FIVE DAY BLOGGARY, IT IS TO BE PUBLISHED!!!

P.S. my apologies for taking so long, but when one watches Anchorman 2, it is hard to finish a Bloggary!

Hello! So, no dreams that I can remember, but then again, I didn’t even turn on apocalyptica. Sooo yeah. We had some potatoes and scrambled eggs with sausage in then for breakfast. It was nommy nom
image

image

So yummy in fact, that I almost forgot to take a picture :P.

Randall’s has chickens on sale for 78 cents a pound, so, we decided to go and get some. We got 5 chickens, then we went to JD’s and got some veggies, and some ice cream. YUM! Oh and if you think the typing is different, it is because I am using the voice command typing thing on my phone, so it is a little weird. I just wanted to try ittt! 😜

So, at JD’s they have medium eggs in packs of 30 on sale, but they were all out, so we talked to a supervisor and he gave us large eggs with an extra amount off. ^-^ I have no idea what the temp is..let me check..well it is 82 right now, but it had to be at least 86 earlier, and it is soo hot. I mean, seriously. Everything was just sticking! Ewwwyuckyblaaah.

So a twc tech was here for maybe an hour/hour and a half to evaluate everything to make a claim after playing phone tag for nearly two weeks, aaaand…leave us this thingie for a temporary fix!

image

It doesn’t have a control though, so we still can’t use ze Wii to watch amazon prime movies!

We need to cool off, time for some ice cream!!

image

image
And then I washed mahself and we had some popcorn whilst watching The Hunger Games!
Look at my hair! Before washing..
image
Aaannnnd after!

Heeeyyy! Allergies are monumentally and spectacularly horrible today! But something good is happening! BBQ’d chicken!! Nomnomnomnom!
image
We currently have two cooking on the grill in a roasting pan, and this:
image
is lunch until chicken is done!

The chickens’ breasts ( hehe I said breasts) are 140-150 F after an hour!
image
And….-sniffles-

Cutting onions makes me cry
image
Ehehehehehe! ๐Ÿ˜› we just added onions, garlic cloves, and carrots into the chicken!

Now the impatient wait begins!
image

Chicken’s done!! Now we cook a few more while we eat!
image
image
And then…the freezers became full of BBQ chicken!
image
image
^_^ It was super delicious! BBQ chicken, smoked sausage, my mom’s homemade potato salad, beanssss..and veggies cooked with the chicken!!

image

(05-18-14)

I woke up admirably LATE. Yes.. I did indeed. But! I made up for it by actually getting off me rump roast and mowing a nicely sized area of grass! Evilly long and hitchhiking grass!

Then it was time for nearly dinner brunchness!
image
image
image
TOAST, POTATOES, SAUSAGE, EGGS, AND BACONNNN! BACON!!!! BACONNNN!!!
Ahem

And then…throughout eating, I noticed this blister/burn mark on me hand!
image
I think it was from the handle on the lawnmower, and after another couple hours, it stopped hurting.

Ahh. Aaannd whilst mowing, I got attacked by fire ants!! Rawwwrrgh!
image

And guess what the sunset means…
image

Yeah…I just had to.. ๐Ÿ˜› Baaaa!!

This week was all I hoped it could be, and more.. Between Oberyn and Tyrion, and what goes on at the Eyrie ooohhh! GOODNESS

image
And after that, lopsided ice cream! Because I just can’t make a completely straight cone! AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!

ALRIGHTAY!

I shall go! Ta-tah! Check out my crowd funder and shaaaarrreee eeeet pwease! www.gofundme.com/get-briana-into-escoffier

Hi thar!  I’m sure some of you may have noticed page 11 posting something like 3 times :P. I fell asleep last night before I could finish writing, so when I woke up in half-asleep mode, I had to try and reschedule for the right time. Then I fell asleep again amidst the process of typing. But I completed it! Huzzah!

image

image

Mmm! Brunch! It was really super delicious, but it had jalapeรฑos in it, so we were all coughing and crying as it was cooking 😝.

The field is full of flowers, plus the snapdragons are blooming really nice, so I picked some!

image

The flowers in the vase are Indian Blankets, Horsemint, and Snapdragon!

They make a nice kitchen addition!

So, y’all know what tonight is….right?

OH YEAHHH!

The episode went by too quickly!!! I am so going to watch it again tomorrow, so help me…I’ll…I’ll..well I don’t know! Ablgrbklhsjckrjjbxngfvxadcbeje

I actually showered! *throws celebration* woo! Lol. We had poppedcorn and watched the movie ‘Unbreakable’ which has to be one of M. Night Shyamalan’s best, riiiight next to Sixth Sense. Theyennn it’s time to watch Hulk beat up everyone in the Avengers again! ๐Ÿ˜›

Then I shall try and sleep, which should be really eas…..Zzzzz😴

(05-05-14)

Hi! Today was salad day, which made me really happy! We have gotten our desk project started and most of the pieces are cut and rounded over, so they can get stained a colonial maple color tomorrow!

After dinner, I went outside to go take pictures of the flower field, and it was awkward. Because I walked outside on two Mexican Doves getting freakay. Yeah..I guess they might have been celebrating Cinco de Mayo…mm mayo..with bologna and cheese on a tortilla.
But I took piccies of the flowers anyways, so here they are…but first! This freaky, multiple flowers in one, mutant thingie!
image
image
image
Freaky-cool-awesometastic, right? Yes I knowww! Now on Ken, onnn! (60 points to whomever guesses where that is from)
image
image
This yellow flower actually is an Indian Blanket! One with obviously no red alleles in its DNA makeup. I was looking around to try and spot another morphtastic flower, and instead caught this yellow out of the the corner of my eye! It’s pretty cool how the flowers can just morph together or drop off their signature red and look like a whole different species of flower.
image
image
Horsemint! Strong scented, tall growing, super amazing horsemint!!
image
image
image
image
These Indian Blankets are growing up to hip high, and there are at least a hundred flowers growing in the field.

image
I really love the tunnel of trees that leads out to the field. It is probably 5 degrees cooler in the tunnel than on the field side on an average day. And ooh, Finn is just so GANGSTA lol
image
image
image
๐Ÿ˜› He just looks like, ‘What? You got a problem?’

I actually cleaned the carpet today, because Finn had shed so much, that it started looking like a dead black mouse family was in the corner of the room. Yeeeah..that’s not good. But! It’s clean now! Clean and hair free! Well, hair free for a couple hours, max.

After that we had some popcorn and watched a movie I can’t remember ever watching before, called Payback. Then just a bunch of Blade watching!

I’m about to sleep, and I’m really hoping Finn doesn’t lick his feet tonight(he does it, always has no matter what), because he had gotten one foot so raw, he had to wear a sock. -.- That’s what he had on his left leg, by the way. 2 am and he is doing good in the NO lick department. Woo!

Tomorrow we might be ready to stain the new desk project! Wool!

(05-06-14)

Well. Guess what happened at 4 am? Guess… Go on, guess.

No, it’s not what you thought.

Sometimes, early in the morning, TWC will remotely turn off the cable box to, we can only assume, do software updates on the box. Well, obviously the TV is hooked up to the cable box, and when they turn off the cable, the TV is affected because usually it is on when they shut off the box. Well, my dad had woken up, and the TV was on, so he left it on to watch some stuff while he was shutting off lights and brushing his teeth. At like 4, it did the thing it usually does when they shut off the box, make a loud noise like if the power was being unplugged from the devices. Then after a little while, my dad said he smelled an electric smell, and the TV was making a high pitched hum. So he woke up my mom and she had to move stuff and then my dad woke me up so I could help him find the TV plug. Then I went back to sleep and woke up near noon.

We tried several times today to see if the TV would come on, but I think the power supply to our TV is DEAD. Unfortunately…so we have to watch Fargo on our phones/laptops…

Mac and cheese makes up for a bad morning though!
image
Yumyumyummmmm

We got to stain some of the pieces today, and it looks pretty good. It needs to get a second coat of stain put on it tomorrow, though.
image
Just a little bit ago we went to get some groceries at the store close to us, and I kept staring at this dessert rotisserie thing while I was in line…
image
And then as I moved up in line, I was staring at this woman, whose daughters had iPhones, that paid for $86 worth of food with a food stamp card(lone star card in Texas). Now, somebody please tell me how you can afford iPhones and bedazzled jeans for two 10-12 year olds, but can’t buy your own groceries? Oh! Oh! And she paid $9 in cash for candy bars or something else non-food stamp eligible. Wow. JUST WOW. Ain’t that just the best freaking thing to see? I mean, my goodness! I can’t even understand it!!

Okay…cooling down…-deep breaths- woooo saaah!!

Okay. SNACK TIME!
image
image
Look how bright my laptop screen is! AHHHH MY EYES!!!
image

Tomorrow we do more staining! Oo, and I used my visa card I earned from surveys! TTFN!

Well, good morn…wait, hold on.

image

There.
Much better! We spent most of the morning messing around with our modem, because, guess what? A whole bunch of TWC customers, including ourselves, are experiencing trouble with having any significant amount of connection speed. That along with any on-demand service not working is ultimately no bueno.

So, yeah. It’s kinda like using dialup again, which sucks something awful.

image

Here’s part of our late late brunch on my plate. The egg is happy because of Cholula. Yeees…yes indeed. Cholulaaaaaa!

๐Ÿ˜€
So right now, I’m restarting my computer so I can play more Sims, which is going smoothly BTW. Klara learned neat! And I’m also watching hummingbirds outside our front door.

image

Well,

I should say Finn and I are watching them.

image

image

I absolutely love hummingbirds. ๐Ÿ™‚

So, now we just figured out the cord that brings power to the modem is dead, and my mom found this

image

other thing in the closet with the same size plug in that they bought like 15 years ago at Radio Shack, and the modem came onnn(YAY!) Now we are testing if our WiFi is back to the way it was, andย  recording Game of Thronessss.

image

See the lights? None of those were on earlier, so now we’re thinking the WiFi will be about a TON BETTER now. And to get into the GOT mood! ๐Ÿ˜€

(04-14-14)

Well, I wake up at somewhere around 10:30 am to my mom telling my dad about some bad weather and Finn crushing(not really) my foot. It starts to cool down to mid 40’s, and wham! Hail!
image
These are pieces in my dad’s hand, and below is my hand+the ground.
image
image
image
image
image
Here’s in the sun screen on our garden:
image
If any of the photos are slightly blurry, mm, well. I was cold. I have this idea in my mind that no matter what the weather, I can wear my crocflops. That is a very bad idea to have -.- .

It started to rain again, after it stopped for a short time, and look at that puddle!
image
Also, after it hailed, these two blackish gray pigeons were hanging around our front windowsills for a few minutes. We walked out to see if they were alright, and they took off :).

So guess who’s making stir fry? Right now? As we spea…ooh wait. I’m the only one talking.

YES! I am making stir fry! So prepare for bombardment of pictures!
image
Okay..well that wasn’t bombardment. I was hungry okaaay? Gawsh. But look. Hailball!
image
-Yawns- so tired ๐Ÿ˜ฎ .

Didja see GOT episode two? Ohhhh I was waiting SO LONG for what happened at the end! *laughs maniacally*

Ahaha..ha..well! Tonight is a lunar eclipse! Ohmahgawd! I am soSOSOSOSO excited! ^_^ I’m hoping to get some pics on my phone!

But! Before moon viewing(giggles), potato time!
image
Look it’s starting!
image
Loooook!
image

But it is rreeallly cold out there. So, toe socks!
image Woo! Orangie-red!

image

Man, isn’t it beautiful? But dang is it cold outside. Brrr! I’m waiting for that bloody red moon to start sliding back to a normal colored moon so I can film the last bit ๐Ÿ˜€
image

Ahh I filmed the quarter moon coming back to bright white, :D.
image

It’s time to warm up now. Soooo coooolllddd.

(04-15-14)

And I fell asleep! At 4 am! It was so chilly out there! Today I’m going to be putting together a Nature News special, that will post tomorrow at the same time as this, and it is going to be awesome! I’m also going to be helping my dad in making a new coffee table/dining table! Woo!

So…THIS IS DINNER!!

(Imagine that said in a deep intimidating voice, like on the move 300…eheheheh)
image

And this is the coffee table top so far! Stained!
image

I just finished reading H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine on my kindle app, and ohmygosh. I read it in like 2 hours. My eyes hurt! But it was a really enthralling read.

Now I’m going to rest my eyes for like an hour(it’s 12:30) and then write the NNR article!.(…if I can keep myself awake) And then, if my eyes haven’t fallen out of my head, I’ll probably play a lil Sims 3. ๐Ÿ™‚ -waves-
