Its been a while

Over five year later....

I decided to look back at my old blog an oh have I grown... It seems so minuscule to have blogged about Black Friday, something that I guess have become less impressive over time and very unimportant. Although it is quite ironic that are posts about an upcoming deployment and my quick thoughts on location and growth opportunities because i am again faced with the same issue. I have the option to go on this deployment and have decided to go, in order to progress my career and have funding to build a garage at my house. Oh yea, i bought a house in 2019 also, it was a pretty good year for me. turning 30 was great!

I can confidently say that i have matured and grown as a person and am in a place i am comfortable with. 
I have no complaints about my life at this point , which i know in my past i could not have said, again maturity at its finest. 

I am also in a mature relationship with a man i respect very much. It is a fairly new relationship and with the deployment and his future goals at hand it will be interesting to see what will happen between us. I can only hope that we can find a way for us to both achieve our goals while also growing our relationship, although that will prove to be pretty difficult.

I have about a year left until i will graduate with a Bachelors in Geology. I am very proud of that choice. I left King Soopers in November of 2019 and have not looked backed ever sense. 

What is normal to blog about, i guess the point is to make it what you want. I only look at food blogs for the recipe and skip the narrative. I suppose i didn't make this to be readily accessible and read by others. putting things on paper or screen in this instance is just therapeutic at times, not to mention i just like to type on this keyboard. 

Since food seems to be a reacquiring theme for me i think it is worth mentioning that we did just make almost 8lbs of Pico! and a massive amount of burritos are to follow. 

Well that was fun, see you in a while...

Oh Dear Boy

Oh dear boy can’t you see,

Every step you take and decision you make,

Have led you down a path straight to me.

Oh dear boy can’t you see,

Where you are going in this life,

Is it where you want to be?

Oh dear boy can’t you see,

With every breath, time flies by,

Never think that time will set you free.

Oh dear boy can’t you see,

Forming around you, is what you choose,

You are the creator of your destiny.

Oh dear boy can’t you see

Life is long and full or destinations,

Some may not include me.

frustrations and realizations

I don't want to be stationed at headquarters.
Although... If I am I will have all the possible resources at my fingertips. I can get promoted, get my warrant packet completed and take some classes.

It will take a lot of will power to get along with everyone. It will be worth it in the end. I know.

Life in motion

With my up coming deployment hanging over my head, I have really started thinking about my life. I really want to do more things that I'm interested in.
I also need to make sure the people in my life are helping me reach my reach my goals, not hold me back or slow me down. Support. 

Things I want to do more of...
Cook
Learn about food ( how it works)
Learn about growing my own fruits and vegetables
Learn everything I can about flying

Deja vu

I made this post a while ago as a reminder to write about my déjà vu. I forgot until now( march 10th).

I had a dream one night that I was hanging out by a store And there was a dark door way where I was talking to someone. We started talking about an artist who in real life I don't know anything about. In my dream we said his name which is H. R. Giger. He is the artist of the predator and also designed a microphone for the band Korn.
Well the next day in the car I was listening to the Jason Elis show where the states talking about Giger. I had the strongest feeling of déjà vu I have ever had.
I don't understand how I could have had a random dream about some Artist I don't even know. And then learn about him the next day... Odd

Black Friday

I'm super excited for black Friday even-though i don't plan on getting up early or anything, I'm hoping i can do all my shopping online from the comfort on my couch or maybe bed : ). I'm not sure if i have more things on my list for my self or for Christmas gifts. teeheee heee hee

I wish I could buy everyone I know a Christmas gift.. when I'm shopping and spot something that reminds me of someone I know I automatically want to buy it for them... Do I have a shopping problem? : )

Amazon is already having some awesome deals!  (when i write something like Amazon am i supposed to use a # symbol in from of it? I find people doing that in front of everything these days.. What is that about???) I have a feeling its going to be a good Christmas!

Dinner

I made a quick decision to cook dinner last night. This is what i ended up with...

Tropical fruit Sake Pork chops
     I seared the Pork chops in a frying pan with butter, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic powder. once it was nicely browned on both sides i added a pure of refrigerated tropical fruit mix (pineapple, and red and yellow papaya in juice) along with a generous splash of Sake. I let this simmer while preparing the rest.

Spicy relish
     Diced pickles tossed with hot chili powder, salt, pepper, died onion, and a bit of garlic powder.

Savory mashed potatoes
     In a bowl i microwaved two potatoes for about 3 minutes  I sliced them and added some butter and continue microwaving for another minute. I them mixed in ground thyme, garlic powder, a little chili powder, more butter, paprika and S&P. I mashed with a fork and microwaved another minute to make sure they were nice and soft.

Moonshine cherries in cola
    As titled. I mixed moonshine cherries from the local liquor store with some cola. Yummy!


I made all of this up as i went. I was just going to use apple sauce but when i noticed i didn't have any i decided to make a pure of what i did have. I didn't want to pork to be to sweet so i added the chili pepper and then decided to balance it out with a savory side dish. i then thought i wanted something green on the plate but i didn't have anything but plain lettuce so i decided on pickles and i wanted spicy  so i through it in..I surprised myself, it turned out Great!
