NEW TYPE OF EXPLOSION THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE FIRE...!

Well, it will result in fire. I almost learned this the hard way...

So, I watched "The Princess and the Frog" (IDK why, but I'm obsessed with that movie. There's my confession of the day... But I'm being careful not to watch it too much so I won't get sick of it like how I got sick of "Tangled". Sad, but true.) with my siblings today. For those who haven't seen it, she serves this kind of doughnut called "beignets" at a restaurant she works at.
I don't know about you, but to me, they look an awful lot like Indian Fry Bread (And she serves it the same way I do!) Soooo I decided to look up a recipe & make Indian Fry Bread.

Well, to make the bread would required to heat up oil on a pan on the stove, so that you could, you know, fry the bread.

When I was done making it, I held the pan over the sink & turned on the faucet. It started to doing this crackly-bubbly thing, and I thought that was normal, since I've made stuff that requires oil before.
Welp, my mom heard the crackling, turned around, and said with a gasp, "Mary! Don't do that; it will burst into flames! Put it back on the stove!"
I turned off the water, took a step and a half when it exploded, splattering piping hot oil & water all over the floor, the hand that was holding the pan, & my arm. OUCH! So I ended up putting it on top of the dishes. It burst again as I was walking away, therefore making me subconsciously scared of being near the sink.

Quite the adventure, but now I'm tempted to heat up a pan of oil, put it in the middle of the street, & "light it on fire" by spraying water in it with the hose. Yep, I love fire, and explosions.

Doughnuts!!!

I hope you are not craving doughnuts right now because I am. Actually, not anymore because I had a huge glass of water just now (It works wonders when it comes to getting rid of cravings).

Have you ever had a morning like this?:
So, you are lying in bed early in the morning. You are half asleep, half hearing what is going on around you, but you are mostly conscious (I guess you could say). Then you hear the convos that are going on in the kitchen because some of your family members are getting ready for work (making lunches, eating breakfast). You don't quite comprehend what they are talking about when you hear them say: doughnuts. All of a sudden, you're awake, jumping out of bed and going to the kitchen.
Your mom says good morning while you're looking in the microwave, on the counter, or in the oven for the doughnuts. You mumble "good morning" back and crawl back into bed with the disappointment that there was, in fact, no doughnuts in the house.

Obviously, it didn't happen to you this exact way, but I'm sure something similar has happened to you. Don't worry, I can relate. Have a good day. :)

Courtney Cotter has a Music Video out!

Courtney Cotter has a music video. 'Nough said :)

Snuggies

Snuggies are one of those things that are really not necessary to live, but it's nice to have one.

Today, I feel as awesome as those people in the advertisements, sitting on my sisters bed and working on my online classes with her laptop, glasses, hair in a sloppy bun, whilst wearing the families' pink Snuggie. :)

Screaming Girls

So, I was working on online classes when all of a sudden I hear a group of little kids screaming. Even though it was daytime, I still have a very imaginative mind when I'm home alone. I thought they were being attacked or something! So, I ran to the front window to see what was going on, and it turned out that it was just a group of about 5 little girls walking home from school. [I'm sure that they were so excited that school is ending soon they have extra energy, therefore they scream to let it out.]

I waited for the next girl to scream, and when she did, I screamed back. [NOTE: They could not see me because you generally can't see through screens in the daytime] They all looked around in confusion, and I had to run to the opposite side of the house to let go of a ball of laughter. I ran back to the window and kept screaming back at them until they were too far for me to hear them.

THE END
