For Christmas my Grandmother and Aunt gifted Nyx Doctor Dreadful. It's like a cooking set for boys. A cooking set in which you create squishy bugs, questionable drinks and then eat or drink them. I'm not kidding when I say this, in my wee days I would hope and wish my brothers would receive a Doctor Dreadful set. The commercials make them look so delicious and always piqued my interests.

So 20 years and one son later that wish has finally came true. What do you know? My stomach became a little queasy. Nyx made some spiders and worms for me a few days ago and they weren't half bad. It added a little extra "something" to the mix when the legs on the spider felt somewhat real in my life. They were prickly and stick. While the worm broke down into sections as it melted in my mouth. Get past all that, they were good lol.

Today? Different story, it was a drink. Zombie Barf to be exact. Doesn't the name just sound delicious? (-_-)

He pulled out his beaker, various mixes and his skull. Without even given me a hint he went straight to work.

"I'm making you something mom."

What am I supposed to say? Hell no? No one cooks for me so I better take what I can get. He followed the directions so carefully and to the tee. Explained every step to me and discribed the spell as he mixed each powder. I might add they actually smelled tasty.

As he went along I can't say my enthusiasm to try this Zombie Barf concoction actually grew. I got a little scared. Especially after he mixed the two liquids together. The first mixture began to solidify to reassemble a blue watery gelatin substance. While the other was orangey soda with a pungent fruity smell. Together it was very......unappealing.

But I drank it. Initially I could handle the taste and texture, but the lingering after taste is what killed it. Even after 4 or 5 sips my Spawn couldn't handle it. It pretty to look at, but that's it. He ended up dumping in the drain pipe outside of our house!

Verdict, it was a great successful Mad Scientist experiment. Sadly a failed drink, fun nonetheless. There are still a few other things for him to make me. I'm not sure if I should be scared or excited.

I dropped a lot of weight at the beggining of 2011 and then come my birthday I started putting it back on. I am happy I didn't put back all of the weight I did lose. My goal isn't to be a stick, but simply feel better. I no longer feel as sluggish and tired as I did before, but I don't quite feel 100%.

I would love to weight 135lbs again. I chose that goal because frankly that's the last weight I remember feeling really good about myself. Not just mentally, but physically and emotionally. I want that back.

Now I'm not one to shy away from the scale, no matter how much I hate seeing those numbers climb. But I am human, of course not the healthiest, but I have flaws and I'm not afraid to share it.

So day 2 here's my current weight, 158.2lbs.

With so much of last year being a learning experience with a lot more downs than ups I kept myself away from blogging. So I shall attempt to make it a point to post something everyday. Even if just a photo.

So they may not be the greatest most enlightening posts it will be something. A goal. Simply what this is.

I am not always able to sit at my computer so I'm grateful that Squarespace came out with an Android app.

The first day of the new year was spent relaxing at home doing absolutely NOTHING. My night was spent cuddled up with the only man that loves me and watching Glee.

I have to say its a great way to start my new year.

Best part? I was hangover free.

Seeing as this is my first post via Android I hope this works and looks ok.

So Happy Birthday to me and Happy Birthday to YOU.

Sure it's my birthday doesn't mean I should be the only one with  presents.

A few months back I said I wanted to do a giveaway when I hit 1000 followers, well now I am at 1110 followers so I am LONG over due. A few weeks ago I also tweeted I didn't know what to do with a couple XBL and PSN cards. Actually I still don't so I'm winging it.

Please note this giveaway is in NO WAY sponsored by anyone. I bought these gift cards with my own money out of my own pocket from my own paycheck from my own job.

I ask you nicely to respect that. I'm not rich. Though I wish I was.

Few simple things

1. This is region locked so it's only for US residents. I'm sorry for my non-US followers I promise to figure out another giveaway and make this more fair. Don't hate me.

2. I would hope you are following me, this is for my followers.

3. To enter real simple just leave a comment down below. Tell me whatever you want. Fact, Story, Joke, your imaginary best friend, doesn't matter. But just know if I randomly choose you I will be reading what you said. So know that.

4. Post only one comment, but if you get a little anxious and post multiple just know I will only enter ONE of your comments.

5. It's not required for you to RT or tell all of your followers. Because more people means less likely you'll win. Plus this isn't about me getting more followers. It's about me showing appreciation for the ones I already have. If I could afford I'd buy everyone cards, but I haven't won the lottery yet. I'm working on it.

Pretty simple. This will run my entire birthday from NOW (11pm 8/15) till Midnight HST 8/16.

Lastly, do me a favor guys massive spam @Rambo513 and tell him I have a birthday present for him and he should DM me.

Please forgive the fact that I look dead, I'm working on 2 hours of sleep. I pretty much winged this video hoping it turned out ok lol.
