Pumpkin Pie Disaster

I was trying to make a new Youtube video for pumpkin pie, but it totally didn't work. So first you have to cut the pumpkin in half and cook in oven for about an hour. So I tried cutting the pumpkin, but it wouldn't cut. I even wacked the knife against the pumpkin several times, but it never cut. So I tried heating it up in the oven for about 20 minutes, and that worked. So I continued my video. I scraped all the pumpkin seeds and stuff out, then placed into the oven, and cooked it. After I took it out, it kind of looked different from the first time I cooked a pumpkin, and then I started scraping the insides and the texture was totally different. But I still continued with the crap of a pumpkin I had and placed it into my blender. After I blended it for about 30 seconds or so, the texture of the pumpkin didn't really change. So. I put the somewhat pureed pumpkin into a pot and heated it up for about 8 minutes. Then I blended it again, and it became pureed. Yay. I decided to taste it, and that's were the big issue came. It tasted horrendous. I tried adding some brown sugar, which helped, but I'm probably just gonna use some canned pumpkin by Libby's. I don't know why I didn't just start from the canned in the first place if I had known it was going to be so difficult. I spent like 2 hours trying to fix some pumpkin which turned out horrible, when I could have used canned pumpkin. Ugh...I was just trying to be healthy and baking a pumpkin pie totally from scratch. But scratch that idea, I'm just totally using the canned pumpkin. Tomorrow I'm going to finish baking the pumpkin pie with the canned pumpkin. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong tomorrow. Shoot...where's my pie pan?...

Funniest Thing Ever

It's so funny when my mom sleeps. She always watches television in bed and she eventually falls asleep. So whenever I turn off the tv, she immediately wakes up and says she was watching it. But if you turn the volume to low or even completely to mute, she doesn't even twitch; she stays sound a sleep. This amazes me. And sometimes she'll talk in her sleep which is even funnier. She says the craziest things, it's really hilarious.

Why must life be so cruel?...

Why must life be so cruel? Does anyone know the answer to this question? I do know things, and many things for that fact. But this is one of the many questions I don't know. Life is cruel because that's the nature of human beings. I just can't stand that. I've got tons of work constantly piling up, it never seems to end. And just when you think you've finished it, another pile is right sitting right there. ugh....it's even more problematic when the pile collapses. Your literally drowning in it cause there's so much....ugh...

Customer Support is Wonderful, Especially at Ebay

All is good. I contacted ebay's customer support and they looked over my case. They have removed the unpaid item strike against me, so I now am a fan of ebay again. I'm happy and I can sleep more peacefully now.

Nevermind...

Nevermind, my weekend was horrible. Shortly after I posted yesterday's post, I decided to visit my ebay account, and to my surprise I had a unpaid item strike against me which expired at 11:59pm that day. Luckily I saw it and was able to respond in time, but today when I went to check the situation of the issue, I was oppressed with an unpaid item strike. Of course I have contacted ebay customer support about this problem since I paid for that item the day I won it which was on September 11, 2010. And the buyer even sent a message and email saying that he recieved my payment and was shipping my item. Damn. People are just so cruel sometimes.

Time Flies

You know, time flies by way too quickly; even if your not having that much fun. I had a four day weekend this week, but tomorrow is already Tuesday. Seriously, where did my weekend go to?


Friday wasn't all that great. I had a needle shoved in my mouth, and the right side my face (including my eyelid) went completely numb thanks to it. But I did see Easy A which was amazingly good; I can't wait till it comes out on dvd and blue ray, I'm totally buying it.

On Saturday I went grocery shopping with my mother. Then I went hiking in the woods with my cousin. I got bite by like 50 million bugs despite the fact that I showered myself in bugspray.

Sunday was slightly relaxing. I sat around the house doing nothing and awaited for my mother's return from the grocery store. She was gone for about 4 hours, no joke, just to get a few items we forgot to buy on Saturday. That actually makes no sense, and then when she returned home, she went back to the store because the peppers were bad on the inside. We were planning on baking that day, but since she was at the grocery store for practically the entire we had to postpone our baking till today.

Today was wonderful. My mother baked apple pie, and I helped with the crust, and I baked banana crumb muffins. The only awful thing about today was having to visit a family friend who I haven't seen in forever. But I barely know the guy, but since my mom is such great friends with his mom, I had to come. We gave them half of the muffins I baked, and discussed college and SAT stuff. My wonderful morning was slightly ruined, especially since we stayed for more than 20 minutes as we had planned, and didn't leave till about an hour and a half later. I've still got homework and studying to finish and it's already 9pm.

Where did my four-day weekend go to? But now that I look back at it, it wasn't so bad, there just wasn't as much relaxing as I had wanted.
