Here Comes The Rain

Oh the joy of living in Humboldt County, California. You never know what to wear out side on a what we would call normal day; for example one second it will be sunny and up to 80 Degrees and the next it is pouring down with rain and flooding the streets. Basically it goes like this: 'Rain Boots, Caprees, Tank top accompanied by a Hoodie, and a Beanie of some sort just in case you have Hot or Cold weather or a mixture of both. I mean on a Average day I wear Boots, Jeans, a Tank top and a Zip up Hoodie and depending on my hair a Beanie. This is normal for me. No big deal lol (summer's not excluded) I know that growing up I was always told  that only fools and new comers predict Humboldt County weather.. Oh boy that is so true.

My relationship status is still up in the air. Although my Facebook says it is "complicated" truth is I think it is pretty Simple. Just not enough to explain to other people. Even though there is no "title" on what it is that is going on doesn't mean that we arn't together.. ya know. I guess it is a little complicated, but who at one point or another doesn't run into a person who makes their life off balance, in what seems to be a good way..

My poor kitty that I got for my mom for Mothers Day about 8 years ago passed away this morning and needless to say I have been awake for about 8+ hours already and it is only 3 in the afternoon.. he was such a good cat though I am willing to loose a couple hours of sleep so that he can be buried and safe. I just wish he would have had a easier passing, because he suffered so much the last couple days and none of us knew what happened or what was wrong so we couldn't do anything to help which broke all of our hearts. I mean this wasn't just a cat.. he was a friend, family member and so much more.
Rest in Gods arms my little  friend.

Better days and holidays to everyone reading and I hope that you have a awesome Christmas.
Cherish those close to you because every second that you have with them is a precious one, worth noticing.

life is to short

Life is to short to be concerned with what could have been instead of focusing on what is and what you already have. Some people live thier whole lives thinking about everything that "once was" and "what could of been" thats no way to live. Its has been a very long time sence I have posted anything. For those of you who used to actually read my blog Im sorry... But I am going to try and start again, although I am no longer in Culinary school (i graduated with honors) I can still post recipes for you here and there. I moved back home to Humboldt County to be with and help my family, there are soo many things here that I missed all to much while I was gone. Im in a way glad I came home.. Im sure a few people where a little dissapointed or upset that I came back, but you know what my family IS the most important thing to me. I do t think I could have lived with myself if I was in Oregon and something happened to my mom or brother.. I havent been staying at my moms house very much, I practally live at my guy friends apt, who conveniently enough lives right accrosed from my mom. :) I dont remember if I told you guys whether or not I was going to go back to school..? Well eventually.. hopefully here soon I can get a job and go to more than likely CR (college of the redwoods) and take some pre law classes and get my pre reqs out of the way along with any transfer credits I meed to transfer to a 4year Law school. Dont get me wrong I LOVE to cook, I just want more. Besides any money spent of knowlageisnt ever wasted. The more educated society is the better our future will be and the future of our someday children and grandchildren.. but that is a whole other story. Sence Ive been home I still havent heard or seen from a lot of the people I used to be so close with. Its sad really. But the one person who made a drastic effort to see m ein OR still makes the same to see me now. I am so lucky to have her. Thank you for being my Best friend. I love ya. Lock it down. I miss basically ever one of my old roommates :( crazy.. Feel Free To Blog Stalk Me (again) Larissa Pree

Ugh today has not been a good day, I was up super late last night because I went on to a date thing with this guy I met a few weeks ago and it went pretty well, we went to the Rose Gardens which was probably one of the most beautiful places I have been and it smells epic, then we talked for like 3 or more hours! it was really nice. weird how that works.. Last post was about not needing a man and this one is about going on a date with one. But it was a friend thing. no biggie.

but other than that it has been a bad day. I cut the tip of my thumb off at my externship. Messed up on a  Grapefruit and terragon vinnagrette. It seemed like everything was going wrong. So I just asked to go home.

Another one of those days.

So I got an A in the first term of my externship, although it says I had an F. Thank God that got fixed. it should put me back on Honer role.

I hope things start to fall into place soon.

Yeah, I'm not really sure if people are still reading this anymore, because I don't have time to post anything anymore really. But for those few of you who keep checking up, thank you.

I am about a hair away from having my own apartment! it is such a nice place. I'm pretty sure I told you about it in my last post.. or somthing along those lines. I'm pretty postitive that I got it! I will be so thankful! now the only thing I really have left is paying the down payment! yippy!

OH and for all of you who might be confused.. I am NOT a lesbian, and just because I don't currently have a "man" in my life, doesn't make me a lesbian either. I don't need a man to make me feel beautiful. I don't need a man to make me feel strong and proud. I don't need a man to feel loved. I don't need to have a man to be satisfied. There are a lot of things I need but right now another person to take care of and please isn't my first priority, although if it happens... it happens... but don't get it twisted. I am strong, independent, and a hard working, woman, I don't need a man. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to lay next to someone at night I'm just saying it isn't a nessicity at the moment. My bed has plenty of stuffed animals and pillows for that :P

Just throwing that out there..

On another note.. I am thinking about changing the name of my Blog.. Because right now it is Thatculinarykid.blogspot.com and lets be honist it rarely has anything to do with food now that I am almost done with school. And besides I don't think I want to be TCK anymore. I think I am going to change it to something I can be random with like: Becauseisaidso.blogspot.com ( because I said so) or Larissasaysso.blogspot.com ( Larissa Says So) Expecttheunexpected.blogspot.com (Expect The Unexpected) or Findyourhappy.blogspot.com ( Find Your Happy) just little phrases I eithing say or hear a lot.

 I have four weeks left with my Externship and I am completely done with Le Cordon Bleu. Thank you Jesus. Although it wont make a difference because I will be going full time at Sonic and yet, well mostlikey get another job again on the side. Yes, I know I will be dog tired all the time, like I am not, but honistly I have bills to pay, and will a great life comes great responcibility.. or something like that haha.

It trips me out how fast this past year has gone by.. concidering it is going so slow.. does that make sence? I don't know..

I want to start working out agian but come on we all know that isn't going to happen.. unsteady schedual, diet, and sleep patterens and surrreeee.. that is a good combination.. not. scratch that. I just want to loose a little more weight.. not to much because I enjoy being thick.. I don't ever want to be a twig.. ever. we at leist anymore. I am who I am and I can change my apperiance but I can never change myself; again let us be honist.. I love food. Cooking food, eating food, smelling food, touching food, learning food, so being skinny isn't in my charts. Eh it's what ever..

 anyways here are some more random pictures and stuff I think about hahaha.

Keep this in mind if you ever find your self randomly crying and don't know why like I do on occasion.

Highlight of my day!! This is how I feel every day when I am faced with a problem lmao

I can say I've done every one of these haha

ANYWAYS!!

That's all folks :)

let's see..

Good news? I think yes.
I am getting a car well a truck within the next 6 months or so
I applied and reserved an apartment today, to a super nice apartment, on Murry hill (apartment photos) feel free to go check it out, I will be so happy if I get it. This place is so nice, and it has a really homely feel to it, and the surroundings.
I am going to apply for a credit card to help establish myself more credit, as well as help pay for my deposit and what not, I know it is really tricky and not to safe to get a credit card but I am good when it comes with money and will defiantly only use it for necessities, and pay it back as soon as possible.
I only have six weeks left on my internship!!!! I can not wait! I am so ready to be done with this.

sorry I am trying to blog but watching my friends play left for dead and just cant pay attention to this.

I'll try and blog again soon(:

Hey, so funny story..

So long time no blog.. sorry guys! I have been so busy! there is a lot I need to say that I haven't been able to because I haven't had time to do anything including breathe. so where to start is the real question... ugh.. lets see... how about I try to start from the beginning! Thank you for all who have been viewing my blog looking for a new post and finding nothing yet still checking up on it, my blog is over 1,000 views now and I couldn't be more ecstatic! SOOOOOOO!!! I am now working two jobs and busting my bootie for little to no pay, I work monday through Friday at Hall Street Grill for my externship then Tuesday thru Saturday at Sonic! so yeah pretty much I don't have time for anything, alone time and sleep are almost completely out of the question.. but everything is okay because it will all pay off in the long run.. hopefully. So my best friend came from California to see me! it was an awesome weekend! I spent wayyy to much money but it was completely worth it!
                                   she hates this picture but I love it!
                                      

Love you Whore Cakes! <3 your Skank Wad.

she is so amazing we had a blast both got Awesome looking and meaning full tattoos!

I seriously love this girl so much! she is a definite keeper! I mean what friend drives 600+ miles alone just to see another friend!? one worth keeping that's who! she drove all the way from California!  I love her so much! I spent way to much money but it was so worth it! like completely!

 

this is the awesome tattoo that I got and here is the meaning behind it.

so the pink butterfly is for my mom, which is why it is close to my heart, because no matter what she will always have my heart; we go through a lot but she is my mother and I love her to death, The rose symbolizes unity and our home, and the reason both of the butterfly's are going towards the rose is because the rose shows that no matter what when we are together we are home, whatever the situation. The blue butterfly is for my older brother! it is on my shoulder because he has always had my back and given my a shouder to lean on or cry on or what ever I needed at the time; he is my stone, the one person I can truly fall back on that wont completely break down on me.  I should get a moth for my dad.. you know that ones that eat your clothes and drive you crazy, yet you just cant find a way to get rid of it, and that smell that you just cant ever escape.. HAHA! that would be harsh lmao.

so I saw this and had to share it!

I mean Yes! Just freaking YES!

okay so the definition of the post name is this! for some reason lately EVERY time I say something no matter what it is I say SO funny story.. I don't know why but it has clung to everything I say...

OH good news there is this guy I really like I work with him and he is freaking SO attractive and funny and just yes! Bad new! he is way out of my league and I am to self conscious to say or do anything. Sad day for me! haha shitty..

So working two jobs is really hard especially when you are only getting paid for one of them and the other is free and considered a class, yet I am working my butt off. Only a couple more months though. Then I am done and can move one to bigger and better things.. well hopefully haha.

On the bright side, remember how I was completely distressed and complaining about how my lease is going to be up soon? well god heard my pleads and brought me to a job that I like with people in a similar situation as me, and now I have two girls I work with that are going to room with me and are looking for a place for all of us. I can't really believe it!

I feel like there is SO much more I need to say and spill my guts about but at the moment I can't think of anything.. shiza..

Looking for comments and concerns. Anything you guys want to know, hear about, something?  Feel free to let me know.

Here is something. What happened when you thought you weren't going to get through something or make it, or even do it, and you went out on a limb and just did it. what happened? how did you feel? how did it effect you? would you do it again? why or why not?
