Hosting a large party

Other than hosting a large party at my house and going to the local fair for fun, I haven’t done too much else. A week or so ago I went to a city about 45 minutes away to go shopping and see a movie in 3D, it was alright, but my friend enjoyed it more because we found a smoke shop it loved. I did however, recently purchase tickets to see the Colbert Report in New York City so I doubt anything I do anytime soon will top that! It’s hard to find ‘fun’ stuff to do where I live because it’s a small area in the middle of nowhere pretty much. We have a Wal Mart, that’s about it.

Nothing Exciting

Usually I don’t have anything excited for dinner due to the fact that I only need to feed me. I find it wasteful to buy and cook a pound of meat or chicken so I usually end up with frozen dinners, soup or salad. However, I did recently make tacos for some friends and that was a nice change for me. We had soft taco shells, mildly spiced meat, salsa, sour cream, lettuce, cheese, onions and mushrooms. It was the first time I had made tacos and everyone loved them so I felt pretty good about my cooking skills by the end of the night.

Beware of Fire, it is dangerous

Fire term in general is also very scary. There are several kinds of fire. Some are natural fires which burn down complete forest in few hours into ashes. Other fires are caught up due to people’s negligence. There is a must to have a water fire extinguishers for home (in the kitchen), at schools, at hospitals and all other public places. One should be very careful while handling even very little fire like lighting a cigarette as the small match stick can lead to disasters. In kitchens when anything is kept for cooking on the gas, one should keep a timer in order not to forget as this could lead to burning the whole house at times. To sum it up fire is dangerous and one should not only take precautions but also be alert in case of fire.

I’m pretty easy going

I’m pretty easy going and don’t take myself too seriously. At times I find myself to be painfully average, and then I question what average really is anyway. I like browsing the Internet for things like ifoudnyourcamera.net and foundmagazine.com and I love to hang out with my friends. I get upset about how self centered people are and I think people are too focused on survival of the fittest when we are not in a situation that calls for that type of attitude. I wish everyone were more thoughtful and cared about the good of both the world and the environment.

This past weekend

PARK(ing) Day, Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washingt...

This past weekend started off on Friday with me running errands. First I had to go to Wal Mart, Home Depot and Lowes in order to find 12 garbage cans of the same size and shape. Next, I had to go pick up a birthday cake and then grocery shop for hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and soda for about 25 or more people. Later on Friday the guests started arriving and we celebrated by going to the fair that was in town, followed by local bars. I welcomed Saturday morning due to the fact that my best friend visiting had made breakfast for everyone. Slowly, more guests began to arrive and we began setting up for the best party ever. It was the best party ever because we used the garbage cans to create a life size beer pong game in which our backyard was transformed into a ping-pong table. After spending all day and night Saturday drinking and playing pong the rest of the weekend was left to feel sick and hung-over.

Healthy Living

I hear that our country is obese.  I have to admit I am one of those people.  How did it get this way I wonder as I take my kids to McDonalds.  Providing healthy meals is difficult to do sometimes.  Grabbing something from the drive thru is so much more convenient.  Makes me wish someone would make a healthy food drive thru.  Getting my kids to exercise is easy especially now with the Nintendo Wii, we all get some daily exercise.  Sports and school also provides exercise so this is fairly easy to get done.  Once again eating healthy is the hard part.  Why can’t healthy food taste as good as a greasy hamburger or cheesy pizza.  I guess all we can do is try, try to make time, try to have will power and try to do what is right.

My Home Town

I have lived here my entire life and it does not look like that will change anytime soon.  I live in Roswell, New Mexico.  I know what you’re thinking and yes, it is the home of the “alien landing”.   Every summer there is an alien festival and parade and people from out of town come here.  I feel sorry for them because it is probably a big disappointment.  Now I am not trying to diss on my home town but I know there is not much for entertainment here.  Roswell has one Movie Theater, one bowling Alley, and two museums.  I think that is all there is for entertainment here. One of the museums is an alien museum which I believe is what everyone comes for.  I get asked all the time do I believe aliens landed here and I guess my answer would be why not?  If God made life on this planet why not another planet as well.

Clothing: What to wear?

Every morning one has to think the question what do I wear today?  Well today I chose a black blouse and jeans.  I also wore my red echo shoes and jewelry.  My everyday jewelry includes my wedding rings but today I also wore some butterfly earrings.   I chose this outfit because it is Wednesday.  I know it usually would not matter what day it is but Wednesdays are a special day for me and my daughter.  Wednesdays are the days we go to story time at the library.  For story time we get a piece of square carpet and sit on the floor, which is why picking clothes is important.  I have to be sure to wear something comfortable and nice looking.  Usually I do a good job at accomplishing this.

Movies, TV, Broadway

Jennifer Aniston

Yes, I watch a lot of television probably too much.  I have never really thought about who my favorite actress or actor is.  There are a lot of people that I enjoy watching.  I would not really say that I have a favorite.  Of course there are plenty of men that are good looking that I could watch over and over.  If I have to say someone I guess it would be Jennifer Aniston.  She is beautiful no doubt but I think she is also very talented.  Jennifer Aniston has the skill to be able to be a number of different characters in different types of movies or sitcoms.  She can be in drama, romance, comedy, horror, and suspense.  She always does a good job and looks amazing.  She also appears to be a kind person in real life.

The use of fire extinguishers

There would not be any activities in the world of action without fire. For each and every boiling and burning activity we need the help of fire. It gives us the needed to our food items and also keeps us in normal temperature during chilling weather. All living beings need fire in one way or other in their every walk of life. Fire also got several harmful upshots. If used carelessly it would be the most dangerous source of hurting the human or the animals to the extreme level. Avoiding the harmful effects some safety equipments like a small wet chemical fire extinguisher are used to put off the roaring nature of fire.
