Funny...

My GF read my blog, and, LOL now her toothbrush is on the left side of the sink. Gotta just chuckle, cause, she was like, why didn't you tell me? I told her I did, she said Oh, and I was like, dude, you may have missed the point of me writing about it... THATS the kind of shit I find worthy of writing about or thinkink about, or talking about, cause, it makes me chuckle.

Apparently she didn't agree cause now the toothbrush is NOT where its in the way of the soap dispensor.

Which, I guess in a way is funny itself.

Not really too much happened today, same kinda start to my day as always, spent some time writing, spent some time looking and applying for job, got depressed, took Holly for a walk, cleaned.... had some leftovers for dinner. I'm actually amazed at how good my dip came out, I was asked to make a 7 layer dip, I believe I made it 9 or 10 layers... I didn't have a chance to really have any yesterday cause while cooking, it lent itself to eating the stuff when it came out, IE Took out the potatoe skins, had a few... took out the pizza rolls, had a few, etc... never got around to the dip, or even trying the wings i made too... the wings came out really good... used this chipolte spice mix my gf picked up at the Pomona Asian Festival a few weeks ago, not alot, just a bit, used 3 different kinds of BBQ sause, and than some honey... also wiped the wings with Olive Oil before popping them in the oven. Had a few tonight, pretty tasty....

Kinda wish I could cater some parties for people... I could be like Messiest cater EVER... but the food kicks ass LOL.

So, yeah, I signed up to take Jeopardy's "online test" to see if I could be a contestant. I wasn't going to do this, but, the past few days I haven't been focusing on the people who WON as much as the people who LOST, and, I don't really feel that I would look any dumber on there than some of these people did.

But, my gf and her sister watch it, and, they call out the answers along, and, apparently their encoruagement that I seem to know a good deal about things is working since, well, I signed up for the test.

The way it works is, you take a 50 question test online... than depending on how you score, if you score well enough they ask you to come in to take ANOTHER 50 question test... than if you do well on THAT they put you in test "Games" to see how you do... they than proceed to do interviews and such and than decide weather you make it on the show or not.

I actually think the 2nd 50 question test is a good idea that way, I'm sure people can prolly cheat on the online one, but, you can't CHEAT when they are asking you in person, so, this may deter people from cheating.

IDK, I keep telling them with my luck I won't get on there, and even if i DID, I would prolly get catagories I know NOTHING about, like Art and 17 century literature... cause there is days I do real well while watching, IE like today, i got the 1st 14 questions RIGHT in the 1st round... but, theres days ill go a whole round without answering ANYTHING right.... based on luck I guess as to which catagores come up... I don't honestly feel I'd get lukcy enough to get enough catagories I'd know something about to even have a chance at winning. It's kinda why I shyed away from the idea since I don't want to look like a complete fool on TV.

Guess we'ee see how the test goes thursday night.

Felling a bit under the weather today... I don't know why. When I took Holly out, it felt like it was like 75 degrees. Took my nyquill... maybe I'll wake up feeling a bit better. Looking forward to more leftovers tho LOL.

My gf and I are thinking of getting a small pet. She almost wants me to get my dog, but, since I want a Jack Russell Terrier, and, besides Holly there is another dog in the house, and I honestly think that dog would KILL a Jack Russell, I'm not really too up on that idea. Plus, honestly, I like Holly alot, and, Holly is a one dog per house kinda dog. If I was to get a dog to try and put in the same house as Holly, if after a month it was obvious Holly didn't like it, I'd than have to find a way to get it adopted someplace else. Holly was here 1st, and, I'd hate to disrespect her. I'd give it a try tho, and do my best to make SURE my dog didn't bother her.

One day...

But yeah, now we are talking about a Rabbit or Guinea Pig or a Rat, I'd like to have something a bit more exotic, I'd LIKE to have a Prarie Dog, but, I read that they are illegal EVERYWHERE in the US and have been since 2003. Hedgehogs are illegal in California. We were looking at Sugar Gliders, but, too small. We're thinking of getting a Chinchilla. We'll see, but, IDK, I'd hate for it to get out cause, the other dog in this house would eat it. Holly would prolly go running away from it since thats the kind of dog Holly is... She'd take one look at it, and be like, what the hell is that thing? Than go and lay down and not be bothered.

We were discussing it before, who knows? Maybe if I ever find a fucking job, I may be ok with it but at THIS point, IDK, I honestly feel like too much money is spent on animals in this house, but they aren't mine, so, I don't really opine about that too much, but that being said, me not being able to locate a job, putting more money out for a pet doesn't seem like the best course of action at the moment.

Anyways, off to bed. Maybe I'll go hit that staffing agency on weds during the day and see what they have to say... Still would much rather work for minimum wage and have a job with benefits, I'd hate to take yet another step back in life. I did that at 31, I'd hate to have to do that at 35 turning 36.

Super Bowl Monday!!!

And were off... The Browns have just made their entrance to the sound of blowing fans and clickin keys!!!! They made such a slash!!!!

Anyways, no entry yesterday, I was too busy cooking and cleaning and such to go to be in here. Odd, I usually go two-three times daily as you all know, but yesterday I was so preoccupied that, I didn't go at all.

Wish I has an interesting story or something to talk about, but, my yesterday is still fresh on my mind. My gf and her sister invited some friends over for the game, I was excited cause I got to pretty much make everything hommemade.

Made lots of good stuff, got to learn a better way to make pizza rolls tho, made them a few diffferent ways, like, not the filling as much as the way you "MAKE" them, as I can't seem to find a way to do it.

OH heres a funny story that happened...

Saturday night I started doing some things for Sunday as to cut down on prep time, made my pizza dough, made my brownies, my 2 banana cakes... anyways, mf gf decides she wants to make cookies. Last week she purcashed those ones you break into squares and place on a cookie sheet and pop in the oven. So she put the other half of them into the oven.....she goes back to watching TV.... she forgets them.... LOL 20 minutes later realizes it..., OH SHIT!!! MY COOKIES!!!!... runs over to the oven.... made brown and mad hard....

Knowing how things are here some times, I purchased her 2 more packages at the 99 cents only store when I went last week... she popped one of those out, and, since by this time I was done cooking, but we were watching that show Challenge, I ask if she waanted to leave the oven on to cook more cookies...

So, she popped another package in... she came back over, we watched challenge, and, at the end...

OH SHIT!!!!! MY COOKIES!!!!!

25-30 minutes later, my gfs cookies were dark brown and MADDDDD Crunchy coming OUT of the oven LOL...

I laugh my ass off, cause who does that kind of thing TWICE in a row?!?!? But i got mine... i went to cut into my 1st batch of brownies... and, low and behold, I Screwed up by putting flour over the shortening before I popped the mix in.... this is what my banana cakes called for NOT my brownies.... and doing the 2 cakes previous to the brownies.... and being tired... well... its a good thing I only got like 3 hours sleep saturday into sunday cause I woke up, went to the store and had time to make another batch.

But yeah, enjoyed my day, my gf has a friend I really enjoy talking to, nice guy, wish he'd hang out more, but sadly, he had to go to work after the 1st half. You would think businesses that stay OPEN on Super Bowl sunday would get the people to work who don't give a shit ABOUT Super Bowl sunday. Where I used to work at that heartless drug store chain, thats what they did... was nice seeing him for a few hours tho.

Thats about it, not really too much else to talk about, looking forward to eating some leftover snacks after walking Holly, and, than having the leftover 7+ Layer Dip for dinner later....yum yum.
