Double FAIL!!! 74. (Junk Food) and 53. (Sleep)

so I got pretty close for both of these and had an epic fail... partially my fault both times.  Ok... totally my fault both times...

74. I made the mistake of being pretty vague, so I was thinking about doing it over anyways... oh! but also my dad only had pop for us to drink at lunch during the move this past weekend... so... epic fail

53. I was about 3 days from passing this one!! mostly subconsciously actually! but then... I stayed on really late one night... and the next... and then it was Friday! and there was a dance in L-town!! so I had to go... and then I wanted to hang with friends... so... 3am rolled around... and then the next night I didn't want to sleep either... I wandered town and even creeped my friends' house! ... they seemed to be asleep... lame... I gave up and went home... sleeping by 1am... the night of the daylight savings time switch... epic fail!

... oh well! =D more to do later :)

75. Learn to, and make alfajores on my own for someone else

ok, so I didn't do it all by myself! but baking is no fun without someone else is what I've learned in the last year or so, so my brother and I made the alfajores for my mom and sister!  they both thought they were good! our first batch is almost all gone today! and we baked yesterday!!! Oh! and we're bringing Heather a couple of 'em too! :) I hope she likes them!! =D  I never realized how simple they are to make! just... time consuming and tedious too :p

PS- we made batch 2, it didn't last long either, but we also gave a couple away to visitors and other friends :) <3

85. Make meals that don’t involve rice for five days in a row

I actually didn't get to cook day 3 cuz I worked all day, but I took on an extra day at the end :)

Monday I made pizza with my brother and sister's help! :)  We even gave stuffed crust a try... and it wasn't amazing :p ... my bad

Tuesday I made pâté chinois (basically québécois shepherd's pie, so good!) for the missionaries! =D no one died and even my mom liked it this time! so it had to have been good! (she usually finds it too greasy)

Wednesday I ended up working overtime, so I didn't get to cook. :(  My brother made us spagettis though :) (they were yummy and he kept up the no rice-ness ^_^ )

Thursday I made beef stroganoff cuz my sister was away at choir camp and she doesn't like it :p I got teased for my using ground meat again :p but this time around it was actually elk meat, so I guess it was Elk Stroganoff? =D

Friday I made us arepas (it's these little fried ... corn patties? they're venezuelan http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Arepas_de_huevo.jpg and you slice 'em open and stuff 'em with whatever you like :) ) to celebrate Nessa's return! =D we were almost out of deli meats though, so we had to suffice with just a lot of eggs and cheese to fill them with which wasn't bad, but next time I'll remember to check for the meats!

Saturday my mom wanted to make something with rice in it for dinner, so I got to make breakfast :) A classic! :) we actually ended up going out for dinner thanks to my cousin! :) Yay! Chinese!! :p <3

 

31. Play through an RPG

I played Kingdom Hearts!! and kicked it's butt!! It's a Disney mixed in with Final Fantasy characters game! =D and it's super cute and not bad for fun! but also really annoying... I realized there's a reason why I hadn't done this before :p haha! but I am super good at it!! well... kinda... I still have troubles jumping from one thing to another... thank goodness for gliding!! :p and for my brother who patiently helped me get through this game!! :p

This made me feel special :) <3

kinda how I feel now ;p

12. Give up the internet for 2 weeks (not included in mission time)

Due to circumstances involving trying to find a job, I had to do this over two separate weeks, so I might try it again later, but for now I will say it's been accomplished! =D ... and I need to find a picture of Ron! :)

What a pretty lappy ^_^ sitting there... cuz there's not a whole lot to do without the internet... well... there is... but not on a computer :p
