Snowmageddon 2010

The blizzard of 2010 has arrived! Is it “Snowmageddon”? Possibly. If it is, is your soul saved? Me? *Italian voice* “I’m workin’ on it!” Eh… *Kanye shrug*

Before I fell asleep last night- from sheer boredom- I looked out of my window at the snow that was falling but wasn’t sticking and said, “Maybe when I wake up, it’ll be a lot of snow out.” Well didn’t I ask for it! By the time I mustered up the strength to look out of my window, I saw plenty of snow. I even decided to step out onto the balcony and take some pictures of the snow. See?

Pretty serious, right?

Tyler came out and decided to play in the snow.

After throwing that snow ball (up in the corner… see it? Yep, right there.) he said, “Uh… I think I just hit somebody…” Gotta love that kid.

I’ve been on Twitter and Facebook ALL day. Literally. The last time I was snowed in, I remember my sister and me taking turns building houses and 50’s style restaurants on The Sims. Too bad I don’t have my The Sims 2 games right now; if I did I’d probably still be in need of a shower. Anyway, being in the house all day has afforded me plenty of time to do productive things. Too bad I didn’t do any of them. I probably could have researched some jobs and determined what I wanted to do with my life- but I didn’t. I think that’s part of the problem I’m having. When you feel unfulfilled with your current situation you’re supposed to sit down and take some time to do something about it. Write out a list of the things that you want for your life, pray over them, put them in your Bible. Something! I think I’ve been sitting for too long. I did however read over some information that I had requested to be sent to me from Baltimore International College. I’m thinking of taking a certificate program in Professional Cooking and Baking. I would actually prefer to take the certificate program in Professional Skills in Baking and Pastry, but unfortunately, it’s only during the day- and I work during the day *Kanye shrug*. If you’re interested, check here. I’m going to attend their open house on February 20th (hopefully) and I get to take one guest. I think I’ll take my oldest god-son, Tawain (he’s 14!!!), who told me that he wants to go to “cooking school” after high school. It should be a fun day for us. I should probably run the idea by him first. In other news, this being in the house all day is for the birds. I’m seriously having a flash back to some of those nights in college where it was just me, Papa Johns and Robert De Niro in either Goodfellas or Casino (have you seen either of those movies? You should!). The difference is that those nights were usually planned. Today was not. I’m hungry and sleepy. BUT! Mommy did make chili and a lemon pound cake, which I can’t wait to taste. I’ll be sure to post a picture of it. Wanna know how bored I am? See below.

This is what happens when you’re hungry and bored. You take your night scarf off and stuff yourself with Fruit Roll-Ups. And you take a picture of yourself. Don’t act like you haven’t done it before!

I made spaghetti the other day. The meat sauce was from scratch. Wanna see it? HPIM5222It’s actually Emeril Lagasse’s meat sauce for lasagna. I figured it couldn’t hurt to use it as a spaghetti meat sauce.

It took all of 2 hours to get the end result.

HPIM5224You guys should try it and doctor it up to your liking. Check here.

There are a lot of pictures on this blog, because I’m actually writing it through Microsoft Word 2007’s blog publisher. It’s pretty amazing. Try it. I could probably think about some other things to blog about… But I’ll wait a little while- I’m going to go check on that pot of chili and lemon cake! And by the way, I don’t look that way (picture above) every day- only when I’m tinkering on insanity from cabin fever. See below for a cuter photo (lol). Enjoy your evening everyone!

*UPDATE* Don’t try Microsoft Word 2007’s Blog Publisher if you’re using Blogger. It sucks ass after all. And by now I’ve eaten both a bowl of chili and had a slice of cake, all of which was delicious. Don’t you wish you had some? Peace.

i'm first off crackin up at the label "Jesus is on His way"...ain't that the truth! lol...your balcony looks just like my parking lot, and it's definitely depressing.

i hadn't thought about the whole "when you want to do something, you need to take some time and really think about it" thing. I think I've been running on autopilot for so long and afraid to give myself the necessary time to think about where I want my life to go that I just simply avoided it. Given that I'll probably be stuck in the house til Tuesday, I'm sure I can start now lol...

The fruit roll up pic-hilarity at its finest...i don't think i've unwrapped my hair in 2 days, so I commend you for unwrapping yours lol...the spaghetti looks absolutely ah-mazing! i may have to try that recipe since i'm tryna do this whole cooking thing :o)

As always, I enjoyed reading! (I think you should post more, you're really good at this) I hope your Snowmageddon 2010 continues to be fun and enlightening all the same! :o)

That is a crazy amount of snow. I've become even more thankful in recent weeks to live in Tennessee (where 4 inches the other week shut down EVERYTHING for days). And that spaghetti sauce looked great. Do the damn thing, girl. :)
