Craigslist!

Oh how I do love the Craigslist.

Just today I sold my electric guitar on the site. Very nice man drove his 14 year old son to my house so he could buy it.

He might be a rockstar some day :D

Anyway, I posted some more stuff on it today. Check out my links!

Forever Young, I Wanna Be, Forever Young.

I've been slacking on my blog posts. Sorry about that.

I was out getting ice.



So the past few days have been going really well!

I officially got accepted into the Lutheran School of Nursing! No more wait list!!!

And I found a $5 gift card to Starbucks in the QT parking lot!!!

Still waiting to hear if David got the funding to come here (which he will). Should hear by next week for sure.

I'm so excited!!!

Plus I'm 95% sure that my parents will let me go to England if he doesn't get the funding :D

And I also found this kid with this shirt.



Oh happy days at Tropical Sno.

In other blog news, I harvested my first Butternut Squash the other day. My mother and I roasted it in the oven.

It. Was. Heaven.

The Kool-Aid pickles are done..... Um... Well, let me put it this way: I can defiantly see how someone would enjoy them a lot.

It is a nice food option to have in my repertoire.

One Week Left

Alright, so according to David, we should find out in a little less than a week if he got the funding to come here or not.

I'm SOOO anxious and nervous at the same time.

Like, if he does get the funding to come here (which he will) this will be our first time meeting.

What will he think of me? What will I think of him? Will his kids like me? Will we like each other?

And, more importantly, what the hell are we gonna do for a week?!

From what we've talked about, he's going to fly into Chicago and we're going to stay up there for a day or two then drive down here. So, this is a list of things I've made that I know he wants to do there and what I want them to do:

- Visit Sears Tower
- Go to the beach there (I don't know the name of it)
- Geino's East
- That place where you can get a super huge sandwich that was on the FoodNetwork
- Superdawg Drive-In
- Navy Pier
- Field Museum/Shedd Aquarium (either or)
- THE BEAN!!!

And also a list of places to take them in St. Louis

- City Museum
- The Arch
- The Zoo
- Raging Rivers
- Piasa Bird!!!
- Magic House (maybe)
- Botanical Garden (maybe)
- Crown Candy Kitchen
- Pappy's (it's a BBQ place)
- Union Station (maybe. I've never been there so I don't know what to expect)

If any of you can think of some place that would be really awesome and kid/adult friendly that I could take them in either St. Louis or Chicago, please let me know!

Silly Bands

Lets talk about this new fad sweeping the nation called Silly Bands.

I am freaking in love with these things.

Basically what they are is these rubber bands molded into different shapes. See, I have a pig, a pirate, a skull and cross bones, a duck and a dog.




And when you put them on, they turn into a bracelet and is all wavy and stuff.




But when you take them off, they pop back to their original shape.

It's so genius! And people of all ages love them. My mom loves them.

Even my DAD likes them.

You can find them just about anywhere (I got mine at Dierburgs and I've heard they have them at Wal*Mart) but I also found this website with a whole bunch of cool ones.

So, get your Silly Bands today!!!

Kool Aid Pickles

I was watching Good Eats late one night on TV and I saw Alton Brown make Kool Aid pickles.

I was instantly intrigued.

So, I searched around the internet for a recipe that I could use.

After looking at a couple, I came up with this...


Kool Aid Pickles

1 32oz. jar of Kosher Dill Pickles (spears or whole, doesn't matter)
2 unsweetened cherry Kool Aid packets
1/2 cup of sugar

1. Open the jar, dump out the pickles and strain off the juice.
2. Fill the empty jar a little bit below half full with warm water.
3. Add sugar and Kool Aid packets. Stir until dissolved.
4. Pack the pickles back and put the lid back on.
5. Place in the fridge for ONE WEEK.


I've never tried them so this is a new adventure for me. Hopefully they turn out AWESOME.







We'll see in a week!

Party On Wayne, Party On Garth!

So last night at the bonfire, I posed this question to a small group of people:

When people in other regions of the country want to have a party where there is underage drinking and light drug usage, what do they say is happening?

For example: it's kind of assumed in this region that when you're having a bonfire out in the middle of no where that there is going to be drinking and some drugs, like pot for example.

But what do they say in like... New York? California? Texas? Montana? Florida?

Here are my thoughts....

New York: "Hey, we're going to Joe's Pizza then hanging out in a parking lot."

California: "Hey, we're having a beach party dude!"

Texas: "Hey y'all, we're go'n cow tipp'n!"

Montana: "Lets go sit out in the middle of this field for a while and ride some buffalo."

Florida: ..... I can't think of anything for Florida.

I guess there is always the standard, "My parents are out of town" house party that happens no matter where you go, but I feel like here, at least, if you're going to a bonfire at the age of 20 in the Midwestern United States, it should be assumed that there is going to be some drinking and light drug usage.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
