Pit of FIIIIIRE

Well as you all heard before I think, I posted about me getting a grill as a house warming gift later on, well thinking about the grill I also was thinking how great would it be to be able to sit outside like in the old days have a good old fashioned bomb fire. Sit around the flickering flames and tell stories, just like when I was little. I really miss that about the farm!

Well now I have a good chunk of that in my new home and in my new life, I was planning on later on purchasing a fire pit, but while I was over at my moms my roomie/friend Katie/Bikuu had mentioned it in front of my mother.

Now my mom stopped us, "Fire pit? I have one of those I never even opened!" She asked us if we would like it and I LEAPED at the chance to have a brand new never opened fire pit! That's saving a good 60 - 90$ from my pockets!


OMG SO EXCITED TO BE ROASTING WEENIES AND MARSHMALLOWS! <3

Just had to update here about it, so happy! Haha.. xD

Thanks for reading!

The cook is back!

HOLY COW! I have to update here again, why you may ask?

Well I went over to my mom's yesterday. She said she had a few things there for me to pick up and take over to the new house, so I figure nothing special. Some frozen foods or little kitchen wear.

I walk in to bags of things lined up for me at the front door. Literally I stopped and dropped my jaw! My uncle Errol had purchased BRAND SPANKING NEW appliances for me to get started on! This is beyond all of my expectations, it really was! I figured you know since I'm new to moving out and now sure what I'm doing I won't get anything fancy. Just hand me downs, thrift store junk, stuff like that... NOPE! My uncle said he wasn't going to get second hand stuff, I should get these all BRAND NEW!

So I practically screamed and hugged the ever living crap out of him, I actually accidentally lifted him off the ground a couple of times, haha.

Here are the three big things he got me!

Presto Kitchen Kettle - I love using this as a fryer. It's just like my mom's so I know exactly how to use and clean it! Yippie!
Oster Electric Versatility Skillet - I practically cook everything in these things. YES!
Annnd I got a pretty Oster Metallic Red Stainless Steal Toaster!
This is to match my beautiful red blender and microwave!!!
Other things both of them got together for me was a big box of delicious potatoes, I took a bag full home. I got some toilet paper, phew thank goodness cause I can't afford to get more at the moment! And we also get a Brita water pitcher so we don't have to taste the swamp water from the tap any more! YAY!!!! Also got me a HUGE bag of dog food for the poochies, squee they won't run out of food for a very long time now.

I'm just so thankful and so very excited to start cooking with these and have people try my food experiments. I love to cook but I don't know a lot of it, so this is finally my time to brush up on it in my very own kitchen. Eee ee ee <3

My uncle also told me he would talk me shopping for a few other things, nothing big, so I'm a little excited to be doing that too. Means I get to go out and window shop all day! :D

So yeah, I just had to share my good fortune, when I start cooking fun dishes I'll try to take pictures and post them here too!

Thanks so much for reading. - AJ

Giving this baby a kick start.

It's been a long ass while since I've updated here.

So much in my life has happened, it was like a roller coaster, going through hoops, upside down one moment and right side up again the next. Even thinking about how rushed it all was makes me a little nauseous..

I went through a bit of depression over the end of the year and right as it got started up again, a whole lot of romance and relationship drama. Anyone who is looking for love, I highly reccomend NOT getting into a massive long distance relationship. Specially if you're oceans apart. You go in floating over the world, happy as can be, be before you know it you're crashing down to earth in a burning fury... SMASH! Right into the ground hard with reality of most things of your relationship.

Shit is tough, let me tell ya. So right now, I'm just... Well focusing on me. I can't deal with that much heart ache while there is so much to do!

As a lot of people may have heard on my FA or Twitter, I finally made my move to a new house start of April here. Moving went by so fast, it was a little startling! But I have just about 95% of my own things all unpacked and moved into their place, so that's really nice.

I just got cable and internet yesterday, so here I am chatting away on the net all over again. I really have to get back to catching up on work, subeta and commissions, I wasted enough time with all this packing and unpacking nonsense. What do I have to do before I forgoet.. Finish my quota in the ideal range of 15th... Get my painted portraits done for customers, and a few more pokemon icons.. Then I might be good until next month.

This month we already have all of out stuff mostly paid off, but now I'm actually only left with $2.64 to my name, how funny is that? Thank goodness my mom gave groceries! I just have to be a lot more careful as to where my money goes from now on.

Before all this moving I had ran to the clinic to finally check out why my wrists feel as if their bones are grinding... Doctor really had no explanation, there was nothing wrong with my nerves or bones, so he recommended that I do stretches and work out my arms to help prevent over working them. Thinking about it.. Ouch, I paid $80 for that? Haha... I guess in the end it's more so important to know there is nothing SERIOUSLY wrong with them, yet.

So for now on I'm stretching them as much as I can, wearing my braces on and off, and I just got a couple of little hand weights to lift as I'm watching TV, me working out.. pfff, it's like the world is going to end!

I've been working on a lot of things and I'll be sure to post here more often now that I got all my at home stuff in place, thanks for reading my musings I promise to be more artsy and interesting later! <3
