some birthday

So today is my birthday and I have to admit it is not the best one.. I woke up with a major migraine which totally knocked me flat on my bum-bum and to make matters worse we came out to see that my pet fish that I got for my birthday is DEAD! he was already sick when i git him so it wasn't entirely my fault but it is still sad that he did die. Although I did have a super AMAZING birthday party which I will tell about later but I suppose it is about time to stop complaining and go eat a piece of toast because that is all I can really eat when I have a migraine.. Hopefully my day gets better.

Banana-Nut cookies= best thing to set foot in my mouth

So on Friday Curtis and i went through our freezer because something was starting to stink, and in the process we found some frozen bananas that we had both forgot about. Curtis' mom had gotten them and had given them to us right before we were gonna go on our vacation to Utah for almost 2 weeks so i just threw them in a Ziploc bag and forgot about them until we discovered them. Curtis tried throwing them away but i could not pass up the opportunity to make some of my Great Grandma Wilhite's Banana-Nut cookies. I had planned on making them that night but I kinda fell asleep while Curtis was playing Star-Craft 2 (I have no idea how i let him talk me into letting him get it) and didn't wake up until 6 and I didn't feel like cooking so we went to this little BBQ place in town called All Slabbed Up which by the way was very tasty but that is another story. So i had planned on making the cookies on Saturday but that didn't happen because it more or less turned into a cleaning/lounge day and I didn't really feel like baking anything so yet again the cookies got pushed back another day. I had planned on making the cookies before church since we moved to the later block in the beginning of August so i would have had plenty of time to make them but once again I didn't feel like baking but i knew that it had to get done because my fridge was starting to smell like VERY ripe bananas.. (not to pleasing if  you ask me!) so after church we went to Curtis' parents for dinner and almost right after Curtis had to leave for a Priesthood Fireside so I decided that it would be a good time to finally make my cookies. I changed into some comfy clothes and even decided to wear the apron that one of my aunts made me ( it is the same style that Grandma Wilhite used to wear, its just a normal looking apron except it doesn't have a tie around the neck she just used to safety pin it to her shirt.) I popped in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the the VCR and went away on my cooking frenzy. They turned out sooooooo good.. I also had a bag of zucchini (I got the zucchini from my mom last year from her garden, it was massively huge so i got enough zucchini out of it to make 6 batches out of it.) that was sitting in our fridge that had the same sentencing as the banana's so i decided that i would make some zucchini bread as soon as my cookie dough was finished.. I quickly washed the bowl and started making some yummy zucchini bread. Curtis came home to a yummy smelling house where he ate a few cookies them promptly went to his computer so he could do somethings and is currently playing his LAME game.

The finished product

yummy zucchini bread

my little mess

Well i guess if Curtis is never going to post anything on here I might as well  be the one to initiate it. A lot has been going on this summer, family camp outs, going to Utah, Corey going to the MTC and eventually to Canada, school starting in a few days, looking for a new job because making sandwich's just isn't cutting it any more.. I'm tired of my job. Although 2 weeks ago at church Brother Spataro turned around and asked me where i was working at and when i told him he told me to get him an updated resume so hopefully that will go somewhere. 

It has also been ridiculously HOT around here.. today while i was driving home from work i passed by one of the little digital signs that show the time and the temperature and as i passed by it at approx. 3:48 it read 103 degrees.. seriously i just can't wait until it is a lot cooler out side then it will start to get cold and i will start to complain how it is really cold and then will be waiting until it starts to get warm, its a none-stop cycle.
