I just noticed that 1/3 of all my cookbooks are devoted to sweets and another 1/3 are devoted to beverages.  Not that I have a ton of cookbooks to begin with, but I just bought another one and had to make room for it.  Maybe I should start a cafe or pastry shop xD

But anyway, my parents and I went to the Blue Chip casino today, well yesterday now.  My dad wanted to try his hand at cash game poker and my mom and I just wanted to check it out, I had never been to casino before.  First, because I guess I look young enough to still be in high school, my license was swiped/scanned/something and when the guy asked me my age, I almost blanked.  Pretty bad for a 22 year old.  Anywho once “inside” there was much awkward standing around.  None of us knew what to do so I proceeded to lose 60 cents on a slot machine.  Which my mom promptly won back plus some.  I really didn’t think the smoke would bother me because my grandma used to smoke, but my mom and I decided to leave my dad to go shopping because I felt sick…

Usually, when I go to the Outlet Mall, I find it boring and get really cranky waiting for people to finish looking at and trying on clothes.  Maybe because I knew what the alternative was (sitting in a smoky casino losing money) I was much more patient.  Or maybe I was in a better mood?  Who knows.  But I found a butane torch (for creme brule) and a cookbook for desserts to go with coffee!  Can’t wait to try some of those recipies!  Oh, and a pair of sandals from Sketchers, it was BOGO 50% off so my mom told me to find something.  I like them, I just hope I’ll use them!

And the icing of the cake was the fact that UCONN won!  <3  Yay huskies!  ^_^

On another note entirely, I’m trying to get back into polymer clay again.  looking up different techniques and making different things.  Currently trying to make pokemon…  And failing.  But practice makes perfect right?  Also I’m planning to try to teach my mom the basics of crocheting.  Key word: try.

Sorry about the misspellings and the jumping around, as I’m rather tired.
