It was a cloudy day when I met my friend for coffee at the coffee shop last Monday. We sat there enjoying our dark warm coffee just talking the day away. The smell of the shop smelt like coffee beans had exploded everywhere. The sight of the early morning goers before going to work. Carly and I somehow got on the topic of relationships and our boy problems. Carrying on that conversation, out of the corner of our eyes, we saw a small silver bouncing briefcase looking thing. We were stumbled in our words, not knowing a word to say. Seeing the man behind it chase it down the street was a good laugh in itself honestly. He kept running for it knowing he probably wouldn't catch it. Soon later, the case started shooting missiles from it at the man running towards it. We couldn't see him any longer, but heard his sharp screams from the building next door. Come to find out its a little bird in the briefcase controlling things from the inside. I could feel the fear radiating off of the little man chasing it. This bird was causing so much trouble in the town leading to car wrecks and damage to the buildings surrounding him. We just sat there in awe and shock not knowing what to even do. I touched the warm side of my coffee cup and lifted it up to my lips. As still watching out the window, I see a space shuttle slowly appearing in the background. At this point, I definitely thought I was seeing things and going crazy. I eventually put down my coffee and went outside to watch all of the events. Not even 10 seconds later, the so known rocket takes off and starts for the sky. The man and bird took of on the briefcase following the shuttle to "Russia" to stop it. Finally, after the smell of gas roamed the city and sight of much damage, the man managed to blow up the rocket. I could taste the gas and smoke that lingered in the air. I see a bagel looking thing drop from the sky along with the bird. Come to find out, all the bird ever wanted was the bagel that the man was eating from. In the end, he got what he wanted but surely didn't know he would cause so much trouble on the way. The cops later rushed to the scene and took it all from there. Needless to say, my friend Carly and I had a very interesting coffee date!

Sunset

This picture is a picture of the sunset by the ocean on a summer night.  It was a very hot and sunny day down at Destin Beach. My cousin and I had spent all day on the smoldering sand and laid out until we could see the sun start to set. The sky was as pretty as a flower growing in a new garden. The clouds were varied in the sky but not taking all over just yet. The sun was setting faster and faster and out of no where we saw a little baby dolphin jump up right in from of our camera. It was very Ironic because her and I were just talking about where the sea animals were at this time of the day. The water trailing behind the little dolphin and the big splash as he plunged back into the water was definitely a sight to see. They are my favorite animal so I think it was meant to be that he jumped up at that time and that place. As the sun set lower, the clouds began to take over and more started to appear. In the distance, all we could see were jumping dolphins up and down, in and out of the calm waters. After the sun fully set down, the clouds took over and it smelt like the lovely smell of rain. The rest of the night it poured down rain until the sun rose the next morning to where we were sitting on the balcony of our resort.

Tator Tot Casserole

Reason-why

There are a couple reasons why I wanted to make this tator tot casserole. I have heard my mom talk about it a lot when I was younger. She had always said how her mom (my grandma) had made it all the time when they were sick. There was one day I had slept all day because I had been up all night sick to my stomach and throwing up. I asked my mom is she would fix me some tator tot casserole for a change. Of course she made it for her sick little daughter and I have loved it ever since. Don't know why but it always tastes better when you re sick too. The other reason is that it really is an easy dish to fix all by myself with the recipe.


Process

The process is pretty easy. Not much to it.
First, you cook the beef and (onion if you want) in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring to separate meat. Pour off any of the nasty fat.

Second, you stir the soup, ketchup and Worcestershire in the skillet. Spoon the beef mixture into a baking dish. Arrange the tator tots around the inside edge of the baking dish. Some people don't like that many but personally, I like to put a lot of tator tots in mine. Stick it in the oven and bake it at 425°F for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown.

Story

I decided to cook something that I have always thought sounded good but never made all by myself before. I had my mother help me make tator tot casserole. As I had said before, when she was a little girl, her mom would always make it when they were sick or not feeling well. I got really sick one day when I was about 9 years old and I told my mom that I wanted to try some of her casserole. She made it for me and then ever since that day I have never liked a meal so much by my mom. So this last Saturday, we went to the store and got a giant bag of tator tots, the meat and the other ingredients in order to make this possible and baked the meat into the skillet first. I got the recipe from my grandma which was the original one that she used when my mom was a little girl. After we took it out of the oven, I had never smelt anything so divine and good smelling. The smell lingered around the house and I swear it stayed over night. We sat down for dinner with our new recipe dinner and it was honestly the best thing I had ever tasted. And needless to say.. Ive never been the "cook" type of person so I was proud to show my mom that I can cook and it actually turned out to be something amazing that I will probably cook a lot more and cook for my children, especially when they are little sick ones at home like I was about 10 years ago.

I will never do that again

I will never let people walk all over me. I have always been the "nice guy" and never really stuck up for myself. I soon realized that I got hurt a lot more when I didn't say anything and stuck up for myself. I used to let people walk all over me and never said anything back and I eventually got fed up with it. I stood my ground and let them know that I was mad. Actually happened not long ago when I got hurt by an ex who was a total jerk to me. I let it go on for a while and then finally realized that I am better than that. I realized that I don't deserve to be treated the way I was and I went off one day. It was all built up inside me that I was not getting walked all over and taken advantage of anymore. It was time that I made a point and stood up for myself and became the stronger person. I will never let anyone walk all over me again.  I'm normally not the person to go crazy and be mean to someone but I have learned now that if they don't have it in them to be nice to me and treat me with respect, then I shouldn't have to give them any of my effort back. I will walk away from it and never do that again. Especially with relationships, I hate when girls let the guy just walk all over them and try to tell them what to do and I do not think that is right at all. Stand up and show them whose boss and that you will not take any crap from anyone! Its always what my momma has taught me and i will stick to it. I am a very nice and respectful person and will always be nice if you treat me nice but if something happens and someone is disrespectful to me, I will stand up and walk away because no one needs that in their life. I will also never let my heart down. Believe it or not, there are people that will try to let you down but never let them tear you down and be the bigger person.


She had the longest hair that always blew in her face when the wind was real heavy. The color so vibrant that she was often called "barbie". She colored it so many times that it was falling out every time she brushed it but she couldn't bare to be a darker color than her natural barbie color.


Even before I walked in the door I heard screaming of a little child. I stood and waited as I hear things being thrown at the wall and the stomping of feet. I continued to step in the door and come to see my sister on the floor in tears and screaming at my mother. Mom asked her to pick up her toys and go to her room and she continued to throw them at the wall and refuse to listen to anything she was saying to her. I tried to help and calm some things down but my little sis was not listening to anyone. Instead she started throwing her toys at me and spitting on the floor. My mother sent her to her room, drowning in her own tears.


I had just spent a whole weekend out of town in the city of Pensacola. I wouldn't want to have spent it with anyone but my boyfriend. We had the best of time on the trip and wouldn't want to trade the time for anything. Only one condition. Some of the time, I found him texting other girls that I do not like and that did not go through well. I let it go, being the nice person I am but eventually told him after it got to me some more. It wasn't the fact that I was mad, I was just more disappointed when we are out of town spending time together and hes making time to text these other people was not okay with me. I kept my cool as I explained to him that it wasn't fair to me and how it really brought me down. I didn't let it ruin my trip because I knew that I could trust him but I wanted it to end.. I sat down with him and worked things out which I'm glad we could do. I was still a little torn about it later, but I wasn't going to let it show. I knew that it would all work out and be okay so i just brushed it off and tried to think of happy things and enjoy myself.

Somewhere I would rather be

This place that I would rather be is on the beach in Florida. Laying on the beach, soaking up the sun wiht the weather that is hotter than anywhere else. Where the temperature gets up to a solid 101 in the spring time. The place in florida is a place where many come to visit and spend time at because the scenary is so real and beautiful to ponder at. With the souvenier shops on every block you look at and the night life is the highlight of your day. It has many places to shop like the 4 gigantic malls that are about 2 miles within one another. The sun is shining bright every single day, minus the little thunderstorm every few days or so. This place bring memories to me every time I step foot onto the hot feet burning sand. A place where me and my family would vacation every summer together and I would go back home looking like a different race becasue I soacked up so many sun rays.

Everything you can see in the beautiful city of Destin, Florida is outstanding. From the big builings that look like they can touch the sky, to the small little ice cream shops on the corners of downtown. You can always find a pelacan bird flying near by and always getting their sun on the sand by the beaches. You can always see millions of visiters in the summer who lay out on the beaches and take up way too much room along the shore for anyone else to lay out and enjoy it themselves. Also, you can see the beach boys running along the coast as they get in shape for the summer and sports. If you spend the day laying by the beach, you can always find boats in the distance and always some surfboarders out catching some big waves.

When you sit by the beach during the day, all you can hear is the birds singing and chirping and the waves crashing down only feet away from you. Even if you live close to the beach or stay in a hotel on the beach, you can walk outside on the doorstep and still hear the waves crashing down into the bay. Even at night you can hear the waves even clearer because there is not so many people out there. That's the most soothing sound to the ears. Around the downtown area, all you hear is cars, music, and people, laughing with their joyous friends. Its a fun place to be and makes people happy so you can always count on a laugh every now and then. The night life has a little more sound to it. Things from loud pounding music to screaming girls at the clubs.

Things that you can touch are unbelievable. If you are at the beach, then you can touch quite a bit of things. You can touch the saltwater running against your skin and the sand getting between each of your little toes. There are many sea animals and many are touchable as well. The birds are sometimes touch able and even the crabs that come out at night if you can catch on, you can touch it fast if you risk getting pinched. You can touch the sunscreen that lathers your body so that the sun does not tear up your skin and the smooth touch of aloe Vera if you did get burnt. Touching a drink at night on the beach and feeling the rush go though your body.

The smell isn't always the most decent thing if you don't enjoy a fishy kind of smell. Anywhere on the beach or close to the beach is going to have a fishy and salty kind of smell to it. The town is normally a pretty clean town so I'm not saying it smells bad, but it may not always smell like roses. The downtown and city area you can always count on smelling some kind of meal and dessert. The food is another big thing to the area and will always be a strong smell. By the beach, you may also smell drinks such as beer when you have older adults who want to have a drink on the beach.

The taste is a wonderful thing in Destin, Florida. The taste of the fresh seafood cooked up for you to the fresh hamburgers that are grilling in the back that taste like heaven. I'm not a seafood kind of person so I eat the other things that taste just as juicy and good to me. When you are swimming in the ocean, you will definitely taste some yummy tasting salt water along with some sand I'm sure. That of course is not what anyone wants to exactly taste but that's life if you re at the beach! Tasting the fresh air off of the beach and the hot summer breeze is always a good feeling as well.

I went to this place when I was 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. I have gone for family vacations many of times and wish I could just live there. I have gone 6 times and always gotten the best tan I could ask for, and got to swim with the dolphins multiple times. My family and I have also gone to the museums there and toured around there and gotten to see the beauty of the sea life and more. We also have drove dun buggies around on the beach which has been one of the best parts. Another time we went down there and rode these bike looking things but had 4 seats and 8 different pedals for every one to pedal it. That was a lot of fun! I want to go again this summer so I can go and soak up the sun like in the past and enjoy my self and my family and eat some good food at the restaurants that face the beach. Now that I'm of age,  I think it would be fun to check out the night life as well.

Describe the Image

This image is a picture of 3 lizard looking creatures. There is a yellow, blue, and pinkish one. The second one is green with red little dots, and the third one is rainbow like striped of green, red, orange, blue, and yellow. The background of the picture looks as if it were a fruit roll up or candy of some sort. It has a blue feather in the middle with the lizards circling that one feather. They are all different shaped and designed just a little different than the others. Two of them are moving in the same direction and the smallest one is moving in the opposite direction of the other ones. It looks to me as if the big green one and the small little rainbow lizard are about to run into each other. They also all have different shapes for their eyes. The fattest one has little tiny circle eyes and the longer one has bigger oval shaped eyes. The smallest one has little circle eyes that are more separated from each other. They look like they are about to get into a fight on a fruit roll up looking carpet that is bunched up in different spots.
