Random Things

Here are some more random blog worthy thoughts that I thought I would share with  you


1. Learning How To Cook
I wish there was video documentation of me trying to figure out how to cook. I am a "learn by doing" kind of person, so it is best done alone so I don't freak out my husband when I slice open my finger or drop major ingredients on the floor and rinse them off in the sink. Also, due to my youngest child nature, if someone tries to help or instruct, I will manipulate them in to taking over and go sit on the couch and watch TV while they finish up- it can't be helped- it happens subconsciously-  I have been playing that card my whole life and it's hard to turn off.. So anyway... I am super ADHD when cooking so I will be cooking something, and then I will start washing the dishes, and then I will remember to add a spice I was supposed to put in at the beginning of the recipe.. it's great.. good thing I have a small kitchen. I also use EVERY SINGLE kitchen utensil we own to cook one meal.. It takes me like 2 spatulas, 3 wooden spoons and maybe 3 bowls because I misjudge the size of what kind of bowl I will need. It would make great TV. Also, how did people learn how to cook with out Google Imaging/Youtubing/Searching for questions like "what is fish sauce" and "what is a roaster"  or "how do you cut a mango?" Seriously though? how?!

2. We Almost Bought a House
We have been playing around on Zillow looking at houses and we found one we REALLY liked, so we decided to go see it, you know, just for fun.... the next thing I know we are in a cut-throat bidding war with a lesbian couple.. they ended up winning (they had a 20% down-payment and we had 10%.. (8%) okay (5%)).. 
But we are the contingency plan in case the deal with them falls through... We are looking at other houses though. We want to "get while the gettin's good" and take advantage of the low interest rates (3.5%!!!) and low house prices anyway.. we shall see what happens.

3. I am obsessed with this Blog
 Jamie the Very Worst Missionary.
I have been reading this blog like it's a book..
Its great- and i want to be her best friend.
Check it out... she's hilarious.
(note: it took me a few weeks to warm up to this blog, bc i didn't get it, but once i did, i loved it and then I went all the way back to 2008 and I am now up to 2011. )

4. Final Four! 
Um March Madness anyone!?! Such a fun tournament this year!!!! Remember when that guy busted his leg!? holy crap- I wonder how they will fit that into One Shining Moment!! Also, last year, during Final Four weekend we were celebrating my BFF Kimi's Bachlorette weekend (remember when we saw that guy get hit by a CAR?!). This year's Final Four Weekend we are celebrating my other BFF Mandy's Wedding Shower! I wonder what will happen next year?! (Also, I love the quote from The Mindy Project, "Best Friend is not a person, its a Tier" so true (10 bridesmaids people, 10!)
