Something that upsets you, and something that makes you feel better
Lots of things upset me. The ones I can think of now are...
"Friends"....people that used to be my friend but aren't anymore. And sometimes I think I miss them but then I remember why we aren't talking and realize its probably for the better. Even if we are just being stubborn. I have a hard time because I want to trust everyone but I just can't keep getting hurt.
Family ....mine can be a little crazy at times. Divorce. Teenagers. Extended family. Jealousy. Opinions. I know everyones family is a little messed up but I think I am right in saying my family got a little extra dose of crazy.
Money ....there is never, ever enough. And trying to always manage it is a pain-in-the-BUTT.
Rude people ...this includes rude drivers, rude customers, rude everyone. Just be nice!!
Memories ....sometimes I would just like to forget the hurt.
Things that make me feel better...
Skittles ...hand me a bag and see if I can help smiling.
Ice cream ...its just my favorite
Dr. Pepper ...same as the skittles. Jake's choice method of cheering me up.
Hugs ...from Jake are best but I do like other hugs too.
Therapy ...haha I'm laughing because I know it helps but I usually dread going.
Kyler's giggles ...I can't help but smile when I hear them, even if I'm crying my eyes out.
Jennifer ....listening and talking through my problems with me. She is the bestest best friend.

Your month, in great detail
I had a hard time remembering my week and now I have to do the month!? Let's see...what happened this last month? We had Easter breakfast at our house with my mom and family and then Kyler and I went to dad's for dinner. Kyler got his first ear infection. We cleaned up the yard and planted flowers. Ummm......I can't think. I quit my job at Shamrock. We bought a new tent. I had my first mothers day. I had, and got out of jury duty. That's really all I can think of. My life is So exciting!

An animal you'd like to keep as a pet
I always wanted a tiger. Like Jasmine in Aladin. But mine would be a white tiger. I think they are prettier.

Your day, in great detail
Wow. Just had to be today's. I'll try to be happy about it, it was a rough day.
Woke up around 10. Did my hair and make-up. Jake made breakfast. We ate eggs, bacon, and toast with OJ to drink. I went and got Kyler and fed him breakfast. Realized he wasn't ready, Jake was just starting to get ready and I still wasn't dressed and we only had 15 before church started. Decided we weren't going to church. Finished feeding Kyler. Sat on the couch and watched TV. Put Kyler down for a nap. Ate some Oreo's. Got kyler up from his nap. Played with him for a bit while Jake took a nap. Kyler started to cry, he was constipated. Jake and I took turns trying to make him more comfortable and get him to stop crying. He finally relaxed. Jake went to work. Kyler and I decided to take a nap. I couldn't sleep but tried until Kyler woke up a little over an hour later. Put on the movie 9 and made myself some ramen noodles. Ate while watching the movie. Fed kyler. Then he pooped (finally). Held him while we watched the rest of the movie. Text Jennifer. Got a bath ready for Kyler. Bathed him. Got him dressed. Sat on the couch. Started doing my blog. And here we are...

DAY24
Blog 1
Something you would never get tired of doing
Everything I think of sounds good until I think about doing it forever. I guess it depends on how the question is being asked. Like is it something I just have to do non-stop or something I do daily? I don't think I could do anything non-stop, 24/7 without getting bored. I get bored easily. So I think I'll go with the every day thing.
Things I could do everyday without getting tired of it-
Kissing Jake
Kissing Kyler
Making Kyler giggle
Checking Facebook
Eating ice cream
Eating skittles
Sleeping in

Whatever tickles you fancy
Hmm....how about the opposite of the above. Things I will always be tired of.
Things I wish I never had to do-
Laundry
Dishes
Floss my teeth
Get sick
Pay bills
See ex boyfriends
Pee
Pull weeds

Your favorite place to eat
Mmm....I love food and I love eating out. So I don't think I can pick just one place.
Fast Food- I can almost always go for Wendy's
Mexican - Cafe Rio
Italian - the food is good but the service sucks but I have to say Olive Garden
Asian - Asian Star
And finally I have to put a restaurant that I know Jake thinks I would say is my favorite because I crave it all the time. The Blue Lagoon. Never heard of it? That's because it is on a cruise ship. They were the perfect place to go for comfort food at all hours of the day or night. They had chicken fingers and French fries and wonton soup and cheesecake and pound cake and deliciousness! Mmm, now I'm hungry.
Also, a restaurant in Mexico called Cynthia's. So yummy!

A YouTube video
Well I don't watch much YouTube but the other day Jennifer and I were watching these really funny animal videos. And I know I'm going to sound ridiculous but I can't remember what they're called. I'll have to post the link to one on here the next time I use her computer.

22 Days of Blogging
Blog 1
Somewhere you've been
I am very fortune to have been on a lot of vacations in my life. One of my favorite vacation spots is Santa Cruz, CA. Its right in the middle of the California coast line and it has the best beach boardwalk ever. Its got an arcade, an amusement park, which is better than lagoon, food, shopping, and the Beach!! And at the end of the pier is a very yummy ice cream shop. And we always stayed in a motel that was literally right across the street. And then, if that isn't enough, its only about a half hour scenic drive to Monterey and Carmel. Carmel is so beautiful and so is Monterey. I love going to Monterey for 3 reasons. 1) Bubba Gumps. A restaurant that is themed around the movie Forrest Gump. And even if it is a fish place and I don't like fish its just fun to be there and they have really good views of the ocean. 2) Monterey Bay Aquarium. I love that place. I love the ocean. 3) The Silver shop. I can't remember exactly what it's called but they have a ton of silver rings and jewelry. I always wear 3 rings, my wedding ring, my promise ring, and my silver ring from Monterey. OK, now I'm going crazy and want to go there right now. We were actually planning on going last year but that was before we knew I'd be pregnant. And it just wouldn't be as fun not being able to ride rides and the long drive out there. But I do hope we can go again soon.

My blog is an adult now. Day 21 :)
Blog 1
The meaning behind your blog name
I'm a little hesitant to do this one because I like that not many people know. My blog title, Alyssa's Empire: Open til Midnight, is from my favorite movie, Empire Records. In the movie they answer the phones, "Empire Records, open til midnight." So I just made that my own (with a little help from my best friend, and person who introduced me to the movie, Jennifer.) At first, all the blog titles were lines from the movie but when I started doing the 30 days of blogging that didn't really work out.

A recipe
One of my favorites growing up, which makes it one of my comfort foods. Something I actually don't mind eating left overs of. And one of the only things I seriously craved while I was pregnant.
Tuna Casserole
3 c Cooked macaroni noodles
1 can tuna fish
1/2 c milk
1 c grated cheese
1 can cream of chicken/ mushroom
Combine all ingredients in 2 qt. casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake 20-30 min at 375°.
