Wet Brain

This is so funny. I was just in conversation with my mother about an ex boyfriend who drank alcohol like a fish in water. The funny part is that I use to make fun of him and gave him a nick name. I called him wet brain. He knew I did not like it when he drank so I tried to insult him by calling him that. I cared for him, but I just couldn't handle his drinking so that relationship ended soon enough, but just a funny memory that just got brought up. Thought I would share it with you. In case you are wondering (before I go) where I came up with the nick name wet brain is originated from something my father told me. He said guys that drink too much after a long period of time get what is called wet brain which they seem kind of on the DUH side and act and say dumb things that do not make sense. So that is where I got the idea to call this particular ex wet brain, because even when being sober he was always saying and doing dumb things.

My Favorite Time Of Year

It is now getting closer everyone! I am so excited for the most best time of the year. My favorite time of the year is Christmas, and no it is not because of the gifts. That use to be my reason why I liked Christmas as a child. Now it is much different. I love Christmas, it is the only time of year where almost no one has to work and gets the day off. I love the family gatherings, and I love the big Christmas dinner. I mainly enjoy the home made stuffing and gravy that my mom makes. It is so delicious, I just do not understand why my mom never became a Chef. Another good perk of Christmas is just singing the songs and watching old classic movies about Christmas. Another enjoyable thing about Christmas is the tree, I just love the smell of the pine and the woodsy aroma off the tree. The best part of the tree too, is the whole family decorating together. Everyone in my family seems to have their own thing they do well with the tree. My father loves putting on the lights, while I enjoy putting on the garland or ribbon, my mom, brother and I take over with the rest of the trinkets too. Oh we can not forget about apple pies and pumpkin pies and all the tasty desserts. This year I definitely can not wait, because this year will be Aaliyah's first year of Christmas. I can not wait for her reaction to the tree with the lights flashing. This will most likely be one of the best Christmas' for me.

Stripped Hair

So I made the ultimate mistake back in August. I have had every color of the rainbow as hair colors for my hair, but I did the ultimate mistake of dying my hair black. Yes I dyed my hair black. I have tried all the home remedy advice online on how to strip the color. Nothing worked for me at all. I tried dawn dish soap, I tried washing my hair multiple times a day. I soaked my hair in rubbing alcohol (which only dried my hair out), I tried deep conditioning my hair, I tried heated olive oil and then applying it to my hair and letting it sit, I tried vinegar. Probably tried lots more too. So I think you get the picture. I tried it all. So do not listen to all them crap advice's online. Only thing I did not try is bleaching out my hair. I will not do that. I have dyed my hair all sorts of shades of blondes. I am sick of blonde,it looks horrible and it washes me out. Not to mention it dries your hair out badly and makes your hair stringy and makes it feel like barb wire. So after all my different attempts I finally went out and bough Loreals Color Remover. So hopefully this works, because I do not want to wait for my hair to grow out.

Hummus

Alright I finally made my own home made hummus. It was so delicious too!! I just read the main ingredients that is usually put into the whole mixture for hummus off the back a container of store bought hummus and also I worked at a greek restaurant that had a few secret ingredients of their own that they put in it. So to start here is all the stuff you will need: Chic Peas, Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, Paprika, Garlic Cloves, Salt. Okay so how I made it was took the can of chic peas and poured it including the water from the can into a pot and boiled it for a minute, then put it in the blender with some of the water from the can. Next I poured about a big squirt of lemon juice into it, along with olive oil ( well in my case grape seed oil, because it is healthier) than I put in 2 tablespoons of paprika. I turned on the blender. As I kept blending I just kept adding a little water here and there, because chic peas tend to get really thick so thin them out I would add some water and every now and then keep adding a few splashes of grape seed oil until you can see the blender swirling the chic peas around. Then I added 5 chopped garlic cloves to the blender along with a pinch of salt. There you have it. Yummy hummus

Prank

So my family and I decided to prank phone call some people with this website where you enter the person you want to pranks number. Then you select the type of prank you want to do to them. You listen to all the kinds of pranks to choose from. There are some from accusing you that you called their girl friend in the middle of the night and one where a guy accuses you of stealing his news paper and a bunch more. The site records all your calls you make and you can save them onto your computer for something funny to listen to. Some time also let the person you prank listen to the recording of the particular prank that was received to them.  The site I do believe is called: prankdial.com. It is a very funny site. So if you want to prank someone check this site out to see if it is for you.

Reunited with an old friend

I have had the privilege to reunite with an old friend of mine back home from Saint John NB. He moved out to Alberta when I was 16 and now that I am 22 we finally got to see each other again. His name is Rob Stewart. He took me out for a drive to help me get use to the city. Since living in Edmonton is so confusing and big. Which was really nice. He is still the same old Rob that I have known back then. He only lost a bit of weight and is now taller than me now. He still has a funny sense of humor as always. Rob pretty much drove me around showing me where I should move to once the lease we signed is up. What parts of town is good and what parts of town is not so good to live. It is good to have a friend looking out for you the way Rob is. It is too bad that Jonathan was sleeping when Rob picked me, due to the fact that his first day of his new job was later on in the afternoon. I really think that Jonathan and Rob would make good friends in one another. I am hoping that next time Rob decides to get together on one his days off that Jonathan and Aaliyah can join us next time. Hopefully they click just right with one another. Anyways that is my little excitement for the day.
