Public Transportation

-
Have I told you lately that I hate public transportation??
I guess it all started when this happened:

My poor car is gone and dead. The damage to me doesn't seem that bad, but it was not worth paying to fix it. Now I am depending on others to get me around. When I work at 6am, my mom gets up early and takes me there, works out, and then heads back home. The first week she had the time to come and get me when my shift at work was done, and then come take me to school after. Then she also took me to and from school, or picked me up when I worked the closing shift at work.

Last week wasn't that hard, it was my spring break and so that meant no school to go to. Tuesday came, got a ride to work, but mom couldn't come and get me, so I had to take the bus home. Around 1:15 pm, I wanted to get out of the house and do something. No car, can't really do that. I thought I had the determination to walk to the mall. That lasted about a half hour, then realization came in to place. It takes 10-15 minutes to drive to the mall, walking was going to take at least twice that time. Instead I took the bus to the mall, when I got there I was not in the mood to shop, I was just glad to get out of the house. Instead I walked around the mall didn't walk into any shops really. I wasn't in the full shopping mood, and I didn't want to get back on the bus with a million bags of stuff I bought.

And so again I waited for the bus to come and get me to take me home. That was the bad part, that even though I am ready to go home, I have to wait for the bus to get to the stop to take me home. So I had to sit for a while, I wasn't sure when the last bus had come, or when the next bus would arrive. The rest of the week wasn't bad. Worked a couple nights and got picked up afterwards, finished up homework, and cleaned my room. That was my spring break

Now here comes today... Again I worked in the morning, and mom drove me there. Then when I was done I had to walk to the bus stop. Apparently the buses don't like me. I waited a while for the bus I wanted. I almost ran up the hill thinking I was going to miss the bus, if anything I had just missed it when I walked out of work. I waited, and then saw a bus, the front of it Read: Instructional bus; Not In Service. I then had to wait longer. The second bus I saw was about as good as the first one, it just read: NOT IN SERVICE. I kept thinking: Why are these buses passing me if they are not in service? Where is my bus? This makes no sense! At about 11:15 the bus I had been waiting for came and got me. It had just come down the hill from the school, so it was packed with people. I stood and waited for and empty seat, and that didn't take long, just until we got to the mall. Then it was an easy ride and I was home.

I HATE not having a car! I HATE public transportation, but I guess right now I just have to like it since I have to use it.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

July

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
