Worst Cooks in America

As I’m trying to get some school work done tonight, I have the television on, I know it’s not the best way to do homework, but I have it on.  The show Worst Cooks in America is on and I can’t stop laughing at the show and some of these people.  The show is a Food Network show hosted by Bobby Flay and Anne Burrell.  The purpose of the show is to train and teach these individuals how to cook and use certain cooking methods to make them a better cook at home.  All I can say is “Oh my word”!  Some of these contestants cannot handle a knife, there’s this one contestant that was running with his knife.  All I can do is shake my head!

Do these people have people in their lives that can cook? How do these people really survive if they can’t make a meal? Do they just go to the fast food joint down the street or do they really just settle and eat what normal cooking people think is horrible food?

I was born into a culture and a lifestyle where woman needs to cook, and to cook great food.  It’s always been put in my head that being a wife and a mother, I must learn how to cook and feed my family and especially my husband.  Even though I married outside my race, I still have it imbedded in my head that I have to be a great wife and make sure my husband never goes hungry.  Before I married, I made traditional Hmong food for my family but I always watched American cooking shows that showed me something new and different to try with my family.  Nowadays, I cook both American and Hmong foods and bless my husband’s heart, he loves it either way!

First Trimester

                Being nauseated, hungry, and moody all at the same time really sucks.  Being in the first trimester of any pregnancy is hard to coup with.  Granted, being pregnant is one of the most amazing feelings you could ever go through in life, but sometimes, the side effects suck.

                When I found out I was pregnant, luckily, I wasn’t like most women who were be hugging the toilet every morning like a bad hangover.  I really didn’t realize I was pregnant until I missed two of my periods.  I was one of the lucky ones who didn’t have the bad morning sicknesses. 

                Now being hungry is another thing.  I’m always hungry and I’m hungry for everything.  As soon as anyone mentions something of any type of food, my eyes widen and I get the biggest craving! In my pregnancy’s, I’ve had the biggest, I mean, the biggest craving for Mexican food.  I think about it all the time and I’m constantly asking my husband to go and get me some food or take me out to get some Mexican food.  The weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten, I think, is a hot dog rolled up in a corn tortilla with hot sauce drizzled on it.  I was in heaven that day!

                With all the other side effects of being pregnant, peeing non-stop on the hour, every hour throughout the night is no fun task.  When you’re in a deep sleep, dreaming about Paul Walker, you jolt awake with a pain from your bladder, basically telling you, you must empty it, asap!!  Let alone tossing and turning all night long while trying to sleep, I barely get to sleep, I now have to get up every hour to use the bathroom.  Boy am I tired in the mornings, I feel like a truck run’s me over every night and I’ve been awake all night long.  Pregnancy is no fun sometimes but after nine months or maybe sooner, it’s all worth is at the end!

Facebook Statuses

As anyone and everyone know, Facebook is a world known used networking site that 40% of internet users in the world has an account for (CNN).   I have to admit, I am one of those users who actually go on Facebook at least once a day or even five times a day, depending on my boredom and checking up on postings. IPhones, Android phones, and even I pads are connected to the world by a touch of a button making it easy for anyone to be on Facebook at all times. 

                I am a Facebook user that uses Facebook to connect with friends and families I haven’t seen or talked to in a long time, maybe since high school or since childhood. It’s a great way for me to find lost family members who I’ve never met and maybe also stalk a girl I may not care for too much, so I’m certainly guilty of all of that, and I think everyone is too.

                What I think is so ridiculous is when some of my Facebook friends, is when they update their status five different times in an hour, like really?!  Do you really have that many issues that you have to post everything you’ve done in the past hour, really?! That irritates the living soul out of me, and I wonder why I’m still Facebook friends with them in the first place, and why I continue to keep them as ‘friends’. I really don’t need to know that your ex-baby daddy isn’t paying for child support but you went out all weekend and splurged your whole paycheck on getting wasted. Every time they post a status, it’s always saying something about how their life sucks because ‘Life’ happens with their children and spouse.  I really just shake my head with some of these postings but yet, I’m still ‘friends’ with them. How does that work? I mean, isn’t there a life outside of ‘your’ world, instead of sitting on Facebook and changing your status?

                I guess I can always ignore it or ‘hide’ their postings but what fun is it to really pick on these people and laugh about their situation or laugh at how idiotic they are for doing what they’re doing? Oh how social networking can help and irritate me at the same time.
