Fiber is good for you

It was one of my days off of work today. I woke up at 10:45 or so because my Auntie Lara, cousin Hailey, and myself were supposed to catch Transformers at an 11 o'clock showing. We got there on time but the theater was full so we went back to my aunt's house. Then we all went to my Popo's and Gung Gung's house to eat home cooked fried rice. It was good. My Popo continues to think I am too skinny so she made me eat a lot of it. Then I attempted to teach Hailey and Garrett how to burp on cue but I proved to be a bad teacher I guess. After that we went to a Marshalls and then to my uncle's house. Apparently it is Shark Week on the Discovery Channel because we ended up watching half an hour of a special about the 10 deadliest sharks. Number 3 was a tiger shark, number 2 was the Great White, and number 1 was a Bull Shark. And the Great White not being number one is Bull $h!t my friends. I'm pretty sure Jaws was a Great White, not a Bull Shark but whatever. We shot each other with Nerf weapons and that was kind of entertaining. My uncle grilled steak on his bbq and it was yummy. Delicioso en espanol. We also had asparagus and rice to go along with the meat. Dinner was followed by more shooting others with foam darts. Dessert was chocolate cake with ice cream which was also yummy. Then my aunties took me back to their place where I currently am now. I freed the slaves today too. Unfortunately, the Underground Railroad got plugged up. Here are some random pictures of the Arizona road I took two days ago or so as well as a video of me working out with my cousin.


"Yeah if only it was Saturday! Saturday!"

I had work! Haha. I woke up at 8:30 and left for work with my uncle around 8:56. We went to Circle K and he bought me a Monster Chaos to drink later on in the day. Work was pretty low key. Well.... low key for me at least, not so much for my uncle. He's been doing all the appointments the last two days by himself because his other employees took vacation days off. Somehow, he got all the things he needed to get done accomplished with speed. To put it simply, my uncle is pretty good. Well the store was only open for 6 hours today as opposed to a usual 8 hours so it went by pretty fast.
It has been overcast for the last couple days because it's monsoon season here in Arizona. Here are some pictures of the gloomy weather.



After work, my two little cousins Hailey and Garrett as well as myself and my two aunties all went to Sweet Tomatoes! It is just like Soup Plantation and I'm all for the cheap buffet type places. It had broccoli and cheese soup too! It was pretty sweet. After that, we went back to my aunties' house where we would all spend the night. On the way home, the song "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb played on the radio. For some odd reason, all of us knew the chorus of the song and sang it aloud. Didn't sound like a gospel choir but it wasn't bad. The song was stuck in everyone's head for hours after. We played a game of Monopoly and just like every other game of Monopoly ever played.... we failed to finish. I know I didn't lose though, so I can sleep tonight feeling alright about myself. They are doing mad libs right now as I blog like a nerd. Hope all is well for everyone reading, I'm going to go back to the action going on in the kitchen.
