Weekly iPhone Roundup {1.7 - 1.13}

 This is probably my worst roundup post yet. I only took pictures of my mom's dog, Hyde, while we were in Perryville and literally only took two pictures of homemade coffee this week. Damn... I think I need to give The Sims a break for a while.

I think this is something that applies to all simmers. Unless, of course, you're a YouTuber that releases only Sims content, then I get why it's a daily thing for you. For the other 97% of simmers out there, myself included, playing The Sims is something that comes in waves. It's not like other games, you're either in the mood to play or not, there's no in-between.

Right now, for example, I'm super into playing and literally only think about playing. In another week or two I'll probably be disgusted by the thought of playing and wont play for months at a time. No joke. I mean, if The Sims team would happen to release some amazing content in-between my urges to play, then I would probably play. It would have to be something monumental like Medieval gameplay or new ages.

Anyways, done with my Sims ranting, here are the pics from the past week:

Hyde, my moms chihuahua, helping me drive. I was actually at a stop sign, though.

He has the cutest little chiweenie face ever!

He looks like a Simpson character here.

Sitting on my guts waiting at Sonic.

His face is so stinking cute. I also don't know if he's a chiweenie or not, but he looks like it.

Waiting on the Sonic delivery.

First time making cold foam coffee. This was the Starbucks cold foam copycat recipe.

It's just 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of 2% milk & 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup. Then you mix them everything together with a wish and then blend with a little mixer that they sell on Amazon specifically for foaming or whipping milk.

Welcome To The World

 Yesterday was complete and utter insanity. As we were leaving Perryville, I had to run in Walmart to get a few things for my aunt, which was the only stop there. After that we had to make our way to Farmington for a grocery pickup. That was fine, went off without a hitch. After that I had to run into Rural King for some chick starter and to hopefully find an heirloom tomato plant and a few more pepper plants. Well they didn't have the type of heirloom tomato plant that I wanted, so I settled for some yellow cherry tomatoes and a banana pepper plant.

This is where it got terrifying. Last week Starbucks opened in Farmington which is super exciting, but not so much for the employees or the people waiting in a never ending hell that we call a drive thru. I used the mobile app to order, but you still have to use the drive thru to pick it up, which is fine. Well when we arrived, the line was backed up to the road and it stayed that way until we left. I've worked fast food before, I know how terrible it is to be wrapped and literally never get a break.

I'm not joking when I say we were in line for a minimum of 25 minutes. It would've almost been worth it if they had the caramel ribbon crunch, but oh no, they were out. Maybe next time, because the java chip is not worth the price or waiting in line for.

Since we hadn't had White Castle in ages, we decided to get that for dinner. After all, they have a 10 sliders for 5.99 deal going on right now, so totally worth it. Unfortunately the line for WC was almost just as ling. The waiting time there was around 20 or so minutes. 

After that, we had the 50 minute drive home. Fun!

All of the chaos aside, we did have 5 baby chicks to come home to! That made it (almost) all worth it. They're so stinking cute too, I just want to squeeze them to death. Unfortunately we couldn't really handle them too much, but today is a different story. Another little one started hatching out last night, but didn't fully hatch until after 9 this morning. He's SO cute and so dark!

All baby chicks are cute, who am I kidding.

Speaking of baby things, while I was un Rural King a group of around 5 people were looking at the baby bunnies. Apparently the youngest girl -- couldn't have been younger than 11 or 12 -- threw a fit when no one would buy her a rabbit. I'm talking full on screaming and crying and stomping off like a 2 year old. I would've been beat if I pulled something like that with my mom. Kids nowadays, so entitled.

In today news, I planted the cherry tomato plant and pepper plant earlier today. They fit right in with the other 48 tomato plants and 8 pepper plants. We have all our cucumbers, okra and half the zucchini planted, so while I was outside I went ahead and planted the other 5 zucchini plants. 

I'm not sure what's happening, but all the cucumber plants looks sickly. Some of the okra too, but mainly the cucumbers. I'm worried they're all gonna die out and we're going to end up buying more. I hope that's not the case, but it wouldn't surprise me. And tomorrow and Thursday it's supposed to rain. Not just light drizzles, I'm talking flash flood warning type of rain. It's going to really piss me off if some of our tuff washes out.

Hopefully that doesn't happen, one can always hope and pray. I'm going to leave it at that and share some pics of the baby chicks. Enjoy!

Here's 5 of our baby chicks.

The other guy is in the incubator still.

Late night recap...

Yeah, I know I wasn't planing on blogging until next week, but I know something will come up and I'll be a week or two behind again. So, since I figured out how to embed pictures from Instagram, I thought I would do just that. So, here we go--

Deep slumber...

Thank god today is over... seriously. I've been dreading this day since Monday, now it's finally here and (almost) gone.

LaVaughn and I both ended up going to bed at just after 11 PM, if you can believe that. I couldn't believe it, but I was actually able to fall asleep after about 15 minutes. I ended up waking up off and on through the night, then I finally had to get up just after 3. I didn't even care that I woke up so early, I was just happy I managed to get SOME sleep!

We ended up leaving just before 5 and arriving at the hospital a little after 6, just before the sun rose. Out of all the hospitals I've been to, this one has to take the cake for being the weirdest. It's all height and no width, which makes it super freaky. Not to mention, it's like all open and everyone can see your every move... I hated it.

It didn't take very long for my aunt to get taken back. About 10 minutes after she left, we started looking for a coffee shop. There were signs pointing everywhere saying that the coffee shop was here or there, but it was never anywhere to be found. We finally went to the main level of the hospital and sat under the stairs, across from the cafeteria, which didn't open until 6:45... so random.

I got bored and decided to go and try to fine the coffee shop again, only this time it as a success! Wanna guess where it was? To the right of the main entrance, like literally right as you walk in. They have it nooked away behind the corner, which makes it incredibly hard to find.

Since neither of us hillbillies had ever experienced a Starbucks, we had no idea what to order. We were feeling brave and decided to let the barista recommend whatever. She recommended the white chocolate mocha, which we ordered. I couldn't believe it when she said $7.95 for two tall (small) coffees!! Horribly expensive.

Just as we walked away from the coffee shop, we heard a lady yelling, "Moss family?". We hastily ran to where she was. Believe it or not, we got to sit with her in the prep room until they took her for the procedure. Of course, her doctor was running late, so we got to sit with her for like 30 minutes.

After they finally took her back, I decided to go get us another coffee. Only this time we tried a blended caramel frappuccino! Much better than the first, but still not as good as the frappes from McDonald's. Oh and this time, it was nearly $10. So that brings our total to almost $18 for coffee. Fun!

I got lost on my way back to the room, so I ended wandering around for over 5 minutes. I finally found where I was going and made my way back to her room. LaVaughn and I spend the remainder of our time in the room sipping our coffees and watching Supernatural.

Luckily, my aunt's procedure went well and everything looked great! After she woke up from her anesthesia, we started home.

I don't think 10 minutes passed when we got home before we made some coffee. We were both dead!! We sucked that down, sat for about 15 minutes, then started moving the ducks down to the coop with the rest of the yard fowl. They're all freaking huge now, not to mention it takes them less than an hour to make a huge mess in the garage. We're having to clean the tarp under their cage off almost 3 times a day as is, so it was more than time to move them down there.

After we got them moved down there, we let them play in the back. I'm sure you've seen pictures of the back of the chicken coop by now, so you know that there's a little pool of water where the stream runs through. They LOVED it! They got to play in it for close to 5 hours before we put them up a little while ago. I don't think they have any objections to being moved down there.

LaVaughn and I had some more coffee a little while ago, which doesn't seem to be helping much. I ended up falling asleep for like 15-20 minutes while we were in the middle of a PLL marathon (our girly weakness). I hope I don't feel this groggy the rest of the night. My power nap seemed to have help some, so fingers crossed!!

And on that note, I believe I'm going to call it a night. I need to enjoy my grog-free hours while I can. I have an arrousing day of work tomorrow -- and I don't get off until 11... fun!

Love & Peace

Mmm, peas!


They adore peas.
