Never Hold a Staticky Cat While Listening to Your iPod

Those earbuds (that come with iPods) hurt when they are forcefully yanked out of your ears, especially if it was because a static-ky cat jumped out of your arms.

Fireworks also hurt when they come at you, then explode behind you.

Janitors who tend not to show up to work for three days in a row (especially over the holidays) tend to get fired.

Also ones who hide and play video games on a computer not authorized to them, while they are supposed to be working, tend to be fired as well.

Playing video games at all while the owner is watching, will probably get you fired.

Sleeping on the job, while the manager is watching, might too, but you will be hired back, then they will fire you for playing video games on the computer later. (This really happened to a coworker of mine.)

It is weird to have a janitor get mad at one of your friends for walking across a floor they just vacuumed, asking them if they “would walk on a Picasso?”

The late shift really is not bad. You get paid more, and you get to sleep in all the time.

Going to bed at 1am, is much better than going to bed at 2am or 3. You have more time in the day to get things you want to do done, and you feel more refreshed at work.

iTunes is addictive.

Guitar Hero on Tour (at least for DS Lite) can be switched for lefties!

Some frozen vegetarian pizzas actually have warning signs that say: “Heat before eating.”

Some cell phones have warning signs that say, “Do not heat in microwave.”

I have decided that Melissa may be the only person who reads my blogs…. Even though my mom says she does too. Thank guys! :)

Balcony Snowmen

I had enough snow drift on my balcony out back, so I decided to make a couple of Calvin & Hobbes sized snowmen for the occasion.

Leftover Turkey Tostada Pizza

So did everybody have a good Thanksgiving? I did. I actually did all the cooking myself this year, with the exception of my dad's excellent cranberry relish that he found on the cooking channel last year. All the food turned out really yummy too, so I was pleased!

After Thanksgiving, I had to house/cat sit at my aunt's, so I was combining leftover ingredients from my fridge and hers, and created something of my own that turned out quite tasty and easy to make.

At first, I experiemented with turkey on a typical tostada that I usually make, but that was not as good as I had hoped, so I ended up making this instead, which seems more like a cross between a tostada and a pizza (hence, the name). So now, I am sharing my recipe with you! If you try it, I hope you like it too! Here is the recipe:

What you need:

• flour tortilla(s)
• refried beans
• chopped onion (or you could just tear it into bite-size pieces, like I do
• leftover turkey (in bite-size shredded pieces)
• shredded cheese
• chopped tomatoes
• roasted red pepper vinaigrette

Basically you put it together like you would a pizza.

First, spread your beans over an uncooked flour tortilla:

Then, lay or sprinkle onions on top of the beans:

Next, shred your cold, leftover turkey and place over the onions (sorry, I forgot to take a photo!).

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the whole thing:

Place in microwave, and heat it on HIGH for about two minutes, or until cheese is melted.

After you take your tostada pizza out of the microwave, sprinkle chopped tomatoes over it.

Finally, drizzle some roasted red pepper vinaigrette to finish it off.

Eat and enjoy!
