HAHAHHAHA

Hello my dear fans....I'm BACK!!! I decided to go GREEN in honor of the planet!

anyway, I know you had counted the Domestic Nemesis out...well, today, as I was cooking beef stew I thought, I need to share this wonderful disaster with the masses, so, here I am!

Mission: Beef Stew

Complication #1: The recipe said "Pureed tomatoes" I'm not sure why I didn't buy a can. That just seemed strange. So instead, I just bought regular tomatoes, not knowing what would happen.

Complication #2: They didn't have the onions I was supposed to use. I can't remember what they were called but they are little and go in stews. I kept looking at the onion/potato bin then walking away, they walking back, I stared at the bin a lot and just kept thinking, why aren't those onions here?? It was so frustrating. I finally decided to just cut up the white onions I have at home. Lame.

Complication #3: I don't like cooking meat, but I was able to look past this as I browned the beef.

Complication #4: The tomato situation, I don't have a small blending device-putting the tomato in a blender just seemed so messy. I finally decided to dice the tomatoes.

Blah blah, I browned the beef as I said earlier, then I put that in the casserole pan. Then I made this sauce with onions and wine and vinegar and some other crap and poured it over the meat. I carefully added all the spices (many of which were from my Indian spice container that I love) and was all excited. So excited in fact that this happened....

Complication #5

That sucked, but it was funny kind of too! ;)

MISSION: Accomplished! Excellent, no sauce beef stew! (since the tomatoes were dumb and I decided to throw in 3 potatoes that were not in the recipe and sucked up all the juice!) Pretty good anyway.

I've missed you guys? How have you been?
:)

Good Bye

I'm sorry fans, but I give up. I've left you all hanging long enough! I'm afraid I am officially ending my blog. I'm not sure what to do, just leave it up here in cyberspace for someone to find? Or just delete everything?

I will dedicate my last post to dear Cousin Q and Bball J. Congratulations! It was a beautiful wedding!! I love you guys!!

The Happy Couple and the Bridesmaids

Fun during the Dance

And a final Self Portrait!

BIG HUGS AND KISSES TO ALL MY BELOVED FANS!

Sincerely,
Ms. Non-Sequitur

Pasta

I've been craving pasta lately like...like...I can't think of anything so just "insert your own exclamation here"
I LOVE it. Especially cream sauces. I never used to eat them much, actually, ever-- but man they are good!! Good for my belly and good for my fat cells.

I'm sick of school and the kiddos are ravaging my soul! :) Can't wait until the concerts are over, wait, I can't wait until school is over and I can sit around and do nothing again! I'm really good at it, I mean i excel at it. If I were to get graded on doing nothing, I would definitely get an A! :) Hang on, school isn't that bad, but you know what I mean.

I'm also looking forward to Lovely H's return from Indonesia, yippee!

Knitting continues to excite me and I'm currently working on a striped project, well I think I have to start over because I didn't carry the yarn up the side and now I don't know what to do!

Adios Amigos,
Ms. Non-Sequitur

Delinquint

Is the title spelled correctly?

That's what I am since I've basically turned into a non-poster!

Maybe I just throw some questions out into the universe and see if someone or someTHING sends me a sign or an answer!

Should I work this summer, or blow off another one? It's a tricky question because I get "paid," actually, I really do get paid, it's just not a ton of money. If I "work" somewhere I could make extra money that I desperately want for traveling. I have to go to Turkey next year to meet up with some friends from China! That was fun putting "work" in quotes for the summer because I can't imagine any job I would do would be that hard.

Why must a pimple erupt on the tip of my nose? No comment needed on this question I feel.

What should I eat for breakfast? Or any meal for that matter. It's so overwhelming trying to decide what to eat all the time. I will say that The Guy made some amazing alfredo sauce yesterday and I loved it very much. I'm sure my fat cells love it too since it increased their total mass and made them stronger. Giving them more strength to take over my entire body and engulf me in a sea of fat. Just kidding. I'm getting skinny!! Ultimate is back on. Although I'm not playing this week because....

Why does my foot still hurt? What a stupid injury. I first hurt my foot walking on my birks for the first time this spring and it like bruised my arch- which might have just fixed itself, but then I went to ultimate and ran on it and made it WORSE. Now I've been limping for like 5 days and it's lame. No pun intended. Anyway, I don't want to re-injure it, so I'm not playing this week. I'll be back at it next week don't worry. I'm playing v-ball now too, but not last night because it was rained out.

If you've got some time, this isn't a question, but a directive: Check out my buddy's post on her recent travels to Mexico, she is a kick-ass writer and puts in lots of fun links! (She's on my sidebar also, Dispatches from Dairyland.)

Bye,
Non-Seq

PS WAIT WAIT I can't believe I haven't told y'all how much I'm currently in love with Lady Ga Ga! Her disco-cheeziness is awesome!

Poker Face Funny how this video makes the song somewhat dummer! What's up with the dogs? Can they read her "poker face" and that big ring? Weirdo! :)

Starstruck (not the video, just the song-that I love)

Well-

My blogging sucks lately, eh?
I just have no will to write when I come home tired from school.

In the news...well, my grandma died. That was sad. Here is the youngest picture of her I can find (that's digital). I like to remember her that way!


The funeral is on April 4th. I will miss her very much. She was a very funny, energetic, strong and wonderful woman. She made jokes about, "Cleaning out the Dance hall" and "Thundering in the mountains" (I'll let you guess what those might stand for). She loved to go out for coffee, had many friends and was an all around great person! Here's to You Grandma E!!

The day I got the call about grandma was actually St. Patty's day. So we need a few pics of that too!

I borrowed BBallJ's shirt (that's why he's sad). We were at the union though, which was awesome! It was like a random 70 degree day!

and here's me with CousinQ

Finally, at the Kisser's Concert!



Sincerely,
Ms. Non-Sequitur

I have no idea

Does anyone else have 4 rolls of tin foil in their drawer? Isn't that dumb? I have no saran wrap, but 4, yes four container things with the finger slicer on the edge of aluminum foil. Also, the same drawer contains a package of rice, a sleeve of crackers and some items for making sushi rolls. Again, I ask Gibby, save me from the hell that is my disorganized kitchen!

Also, today getting out of my car was really dumb because I had all these books and water bottles and when I went out the door, my arm was still in the seat belt. It was really hard to figure out what to do because my arms were so full and I was still connected to the car. Luckily, I figured it out.

What else is stupid in my life? I don't have any chocolate or cookies or candy in my house and it is breaking me.

Oh, I know what's fun, I ordered all these new knitting books and I'm so excited! I keep looking at the pictures and deciding which items are too hard to make, which is pretty much everything in all three books!

Finally, this old picture of me and HWell makes me smile. I need to give her a new nick name because I'm sick of HWell. Balls. YES BALLS. That is her new name. She knows why, you can ask her! :) Love you H.

Chocolate makes me happy

YES DO THEM
NO, It's TEDIOUS and PAINFUL
No it's not!! It's FUN and EXCITING.
F-you, I'd rather be poking out my eyeball.
But it means CASH MONEY in your POCKET!
Go AWAY
No
Yes, I hate you.
No you don't I am you!
Yes, NO AHHHHHH

Sorry- having a little conversation with my subconscious.

The topic? Have you guessed it yet? Tomorrow, I'll plunge into the pile of envelopes and papers and missed deductions and you've guessed it....my taxes. We can't all be like SunnyD and get them done like January 1 (or some crap) :)

One more thing... After the scream, I wanted to find an audio/you tube recording of "Dun duh duh duh DUNNNNN" You know which tune I mean? It's really short and is often followed by a girl shrieking!!? Anyway, I couldn't find it! Let me know if you do!

Booo,
The Seq

WAIT I forgot something. Check out the new link I've added in the Internet Buddies section. A buddy (Mel G) from grad school writes silly things and most recently a post on her braces! (and the horrors of having them at our age!)
