A Day Filled to the Top July 6, 2007

Well, today wasn’t boring by any standards. I would like to dedicate this post to Good Karma products, for their wonderful rice cream that makes my tongue happy.

This morning I had my second drive for driver’s ed. I hope I haven’t started a tradition, because for both my first drive and today’s drive, there has been an accident right in my path of travel, but thankfully, I didn’t have to maneuver around it. My silly driving instructor gave me a B+, because of 2 LITTLE things. It must be because her name is KT, and she has high standards, like most KTs do. So, I was angry for a while, but decided to show her that other KTs could take the challenge of impressing her and getting an A.

On the note of A’s, I got all A’s last semester, I aced both of my math tests. (I thought I was going to get a B+ in math..I had one for a couple of months.) YAY!

Then I decided to make a double batch of my Vegan Coconut Pineapple Bread. Mmmmmm, it’s good. We already went through half a loaf, I guess when there is more, you eat more!

For 3 hours, we set up our new trampoline. Seriously, if I had known it would have taken that long…We got a used trampoline a couple years ago, but it didn’t have a net, and the springs were bare, so we decided not to use it until we made it a little more safe. So, Mommy and Daddy came home with this brand spanking new trampoline, that takes a lot longer to put up…I thought it was…cool…that they included how to bounce on the trampoline. There were pictures and directions and everything!

After that, Mimi was shipped off to some friend’s house and the rest of us went to Sushi Land. Did I mention I am a ‘regular’ there? I always get 3 inari, (fried bean curd-sounds gross, but it is AMAZING) 2 cucumber rolls and a couple of edamame (soy beans), give or take a couple. Those are the best and like 3 out of 5 of the vegan options they have. So, anyways, I have to ask the chefs to make my dishes, and this one man has come to recognize me and my inari fetish. YAY

Then, I drove on the freeway, scary stuff,  I tell you. That was only my second time, but I need my practice!!

Couple of funny things:

-Some cinnamon candies fell on the ground, and Penny has a bit of a sweet tooth, and decided to eat them (I called her to come eat them…). She would suck on one for a minute, bite into it, realize it was spicy, and then spit it out. She did this for like 7 candies. Funniest thing.

-Mom is going to hate this, but she always has weird nicknames for things. At Sushi Land, she wanted a California Roll, and she wanted Dad to get it off of the conveyor belt. She said, “Can you get that poppyseed one?” I am guessing that the poppyseeds were actually the fish eggs plastered to the sides of the rice. She would call the House Rolls, egg-a-muffins, which are actually Egg McMuffins. We love her even if she slips up sometimes…

-I was talking to Dad about how there is a little Port Jackson Shark at the aquarium right now, and he went on to tell me about how he caught a leapord shark! So aparently, down in California, there was this shark in the water that he and his friend Scott decided to catch and then they did! But, actually the thing that he added later was that it was stuck in a tidepool and some homeless people were going to eat it. So they pretty much, from my understanding, cornered this poor innocent creature in a couple inch deep water and threw it into the ocean to prevent some hungry people from eating it. Huh.
