Beef & Potato Soup

I decided to try to make some kind of "somlaw" (soup) tonight. I've never actually made any by myself that I can remember, so I wanted to give it a whirl. Nothing extravagant, just something simple that I can make without having to make a trip to the grocery store.

Beef and Potato Soup -- Somlaw Tomlong Sach-Ko


Just a small bowl for myself... taken with my phone so quality sucks.

My Parents liked it and so did my nephew... and thats all I need to impress. Haha!

Okay... wasn't planning on going out, but since Mary is willing to come pick me up if I go out (damn... I'm loved and wanted)... why not? Now... I gotta go get ready. I have NOTHING to wear! Ahhh!

Closet Clutter

I really need to do something about all the junk in my closet. Well, its not necessarily junk, but its stuff that I probably would never wear again but do NOT want to part with. I don't know why... but I really don't want to get rid of things that I've spent money on and I feel like I haven't gotten enough wear out of it. I can donate the clothes, but I'd "sdaiy" it and think to myself later on, "I should have kept that ______ " if I was to somehow need it. At the same time, I still have tons of clothes still with price tags on them. Maybe I'll find more use for it when summer rolls around?

Speaking of summer, its a beautiful day today. So weird since it was just snowing yesterday morning. Okay, I guess its not THAT weird and I should be used to it by now, right?

Its Friday... should I go out with the girls tonight? One of Unie's events... I always have FUN at them, but just don't know if I really want to go out so far. :( Maybe I'll stay in and have a little wine by myself and cuddle up with a good book? Running to Barnes and Nobles today... yay! Or maybe Borders so I can take advantage of the Borders members discounts? Yeah... better idea. 40% is quite a bit even if the book is under $20... especially when you're broke!

Tomorrow is Melaine's birthday. Ahhh... its all the way out in Kirkland and I am really debating if I should go or not. Maybe I will see if anyone wants to carpool or something? Also Jill's birthday, but I really don't know if I want to drive all the way up to Tulalip... thats freakin' FARRRRRRRR!!! Why can't we all live within a 10 mile radius from each other? Okay I admit... I'm the only one who really lives that far out from anyone. I think the friend that lives closest to me is Nara... and even SHE is 17 miles away from me (I tested it on my odometer... lol!)

I don't know... I just feel like staying at home this weekend. Lazyyyyyyyy! I know if I do, I might regret it next week when I feel like I've missed out. We'll see.

Twitter Twatter!

I decided to join Twitter the other day. WHY? I don't know. LOL... its interesting. I haven't really gotten a chance to explore it much, but I will soon.

Curious? http://twitter.com/thyda

Okay if there are people who actually really read this blog, you will see that I have the twitter updates on the side of my page there. Not sure if I should keep it. At this rate, I might be able to get rid of my blog(s) altogether. Whoo hoo! I mean... why would I want to post in so many different places anyway? Competing with myself at this one man popularity contest. Who will win? Thyda or Thydsterz? LOL... okay I'm getting delirious.

Goodnight.

Disturbed

2 Year Old Boy SMOKING a Cigarette !!

This is so disturbing and I can't even explain the anger I feel inside after seeing this bullshit. Seriously, this is a form of child abuse and if that happened in the U.S... I'm sure that the public will try to somehow get those adults arrested and get that poor child out of that kind of environment. Unfortunately, this seems to be happening in a different country. I never thought that I would ever come across something like this. I am very upset to know that this kind of shit is really happening. Who knows how many young kids out there have parents who condone to this kind of behavior... moreover, encourage it because they think its funny or cute. It is NOT funny nor is it cute. Those adults in this video really deserve a good beat down if not a smack in the head by my big hands. I would LOVE to see them and give them a piece of my mind. This is so so so sad... and I am nearly in tears just thinking about it again. Urghhhhh!!!
