Sorry For Being MIA

Hey blogy friends. I just wanted y'all to know that I did not die. Lol. I have just been uber busy with school, housework, Lyla, and just life. Haha. I do plan to return to you all soon so stick with me. I love you al very mucho. hehe

P.S. I alsomay not be "single" for much longer. :P Stay tuned. Lol

I'm BAAAAAAAAACK!

And this time, I plan to stay!

Man, I can't even tell you all how much I missed blogging. It was like my only form of release from my crazy life! LOL! I guess you all are probably wondering where in the heck I was for almost 4 months? Well, I won't bore you with the WHOLE story, but I will tell you this: I had a few personal issues that I needed to work out with my family. I also needed to find a way to straiten out my priorities. It was rocky these past 4 months, but once again I have grown.

I started Beauty School on December 7th, and I am loving it! That is probably the biggest change that has happened since I was gone. I really needed to get out and DO something, and since a job was obviously NOT going to happen, I decided to check out the Cosmetology industry. So far everything is going awesome! I have made a few really good friends, and I am learning so many new things.

Lyla has also been growing and changing. She will be a year and a half on Thursday. Can you all believe it!?! When I started this blog, she was only about 1 month old! =O She is now not only walking, but running as well. She is starting to talk too. She can say things like "Hi" "bye-bye" "all done" "wow" "Hi Jeff" [our dog] "thank you" "bless you" and so on and so forth. I really can't believe how much she is growing!

So I realize that this post was kinda scatter-brained, but I was trying to think of everything I wanted to say, but I guess I will just have to update you all along the way. I hope all my readers will come on back to my blog every now and again to catch up. And I promise that you are stuck with me. I am not going ANYWHERE!

Sweet dreams, and God bless!

I'M A BLOGGING SLACKER

Yes friends, I know I have been slacking in the blogging department. Life has been hectic lately. Not really anything in particular, just lots of little things. I do have some cute pictures to post of Lyla and whatnot, but alas, I am too lazy to do that at the moment.

Instead, how about a quick update? Yes? Okay. :)

• Lyla is now cutting 7 teeth! Two top ones have already popped in.
• She is also starting to take steps in between the furniture! She is getting so brave, and I suspect she will be walking soon.
• I still haven't taken my GED yet, but I will be soon. I have to go down and register on one day, and then take the test on another, which would be fine if I didn't live a freaking HOUR away from the school!
• I have another photo shoot this weekend! I am so excited!
• My hair is getting hecka long, and I can't decide if I want to cut it again, or let it grow out some more. Any thoughts?
• My sister is FINALLY done with volleyball!!
• Its been so cold here! Yes, Arizona can be cold. It was 55° here for the HIGH! But, by Sunday its supposed to be back to 85! Will you just make up your mind already weather!?!
• We got our dog a shock collar. Muhahahaha!

Okie doke, there you have it. Some random updates. I apologize that my life if uber borning at the moment. I hope you can all bare with me until something interesting happens! Haha! So, how have ya'll been?

SLACKING

I have been really slacking on the blogging lately. I just haven't really had anything to post about. LOL! Nothing much has been going on. I had that interview, but I already told you about all that. I have been studying for my GED like crazy, but nothing too exciting there. Lyla is doing awesome, but nothing much has changed with her either. She still isn't walking yet :( Though, she is popping through some new teeth! I guess that's new! Yay! She only has two, but now like three are coming in at the same time! :D

Anyways, I do want to share the picture I got from Alexa's volleyball game in Sedona. They got creamed, BIG TIME, but it was still fun. Garett {Lexy's BF} went with us, and it was a lot of fun. Not to mention it was so beautiful up there. I haven't been to Sedona since I was a wee little one. LOL! So anywho, sorry for neglecting the blog, hopefully something interesting with happen soon. Haha!

WHOOT!!

Hey all! I don't have much time to update right now, as I am heading up to Sedona in an hour, but I just wanted to let you all know that the follow up interview we AMAZING! I really really think that this job is mine.

I interviewed with two other ladies, and they were sooo impressed with me! They even told me so! Haha! They kept hinting at things like "Well, when you start with you be able to handle {blank}" and things like that. I pray to God on my KNEES that I get this job. I think it would be so wonderful for me and Lyla both.

With this job, I should be able to be out on my own by this summer! I will finally be able to take care of myself, and my daughter. I can't wait! Also, I'm testing for my GED soon! Yay! I have been studying like a mad woman, and I am yawning because I already know this stuff! Haha! I am gonna rock that test!

Anywho, hope you all are having a blessed Thursday. I am off to go and watch some high school volleyball! Pictures of beautiful Sedona will also be coming! :) Toodles!

P.S. Don't forget to check out my photo blog. ;)

I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP INTERVIEW TOMORROW!!!

Yep, you heard it right peeps! I have another interview with that medical office position I applied for about a month back! :D I am so excited! The lady actually called ME and set up another interview! They must really be interested if they called me back!

I just have this deep feeling in my heart that this job is going to work out. I am not basing my whole life on it working out, but I have a strong feeling that God is going to make this job happen. I do hope so, because I REALLY need a job!!!

I haven't been able to get out job hunting these last two weeks. Things have been really busy! Like CRAZY busy! I haven't even really had time to blog! LOL! But alas, here I am finally, updating you all. Dontcha just love me? LOL!

Well, I suppose that's it. There really isn't much else to say today. Haha! Oh, if you didn't get a chance to check out my I ♥ Faces post yesterday at my new blog, then click HERE to do so. :) Please follow if you feel led. :) And remember, it is still a working progress. In fact, I need to go and work on it now.

Toodles!

A LITTLE UPDATE

I am sitting here waiting for my beautiful Lyla to wake up, so I decided to post somewhat of an update. :)

Life has been pretty good. I have not been out job hunting again, but I have been applying everywhere I can online. I was also supposed to have another inter view with the Medical Office I will be working at in January, but the woman I was meeting with has the flu. :( Poor thing. So I am just chilling today. Lexy has a volleyball game later, and those are always fun to watch. :)

Tomorrow I have to go to Defensive Driving school for the ticket I got {oh joy} but I think it should be good. Its gonna be a LONG evening, but I really think it will be informative and helpful.

I am sort of starting the process for the child support stuff. I have been in contact with my lawyer, but we have been doing a bit of phone tag recently, but we are getting there. I can't wait until I get this all finished and Matthew helps pay for Lyla. It will be such a relief.

I finished up my very first photo shoot two weekends ago. It went EXTREMELY well, and my customers were satisfied. I was happy because I got paid for doing the thing I love the most. LOL! {Note: be watching out for my Photography Blog that will be up and running soon.}

I got my GED book last week, so I am studying hard for that. It is actually REALLY easy. I probably don't even have to study and I would pass, but I want to anyways. If all goes as planned, I should have it by the end of the month.

Well, my child is fussing so I must retrieve her. Thanks for helping me pass the time guys. :)

A VERY DISCOURAGING DAY

Today I traveled an hour outside of town to look for work. I went to about a million places. Here is the run-down of what happened:

• Target: Not hiring.
• Barnes & Nobel: Not hiring.
• Macayo's, TGIFriday's, Carraba's: Not hiring busers.
• Paridise Bakery: Told me to apply online.
• Kohls: Filled out application, but the lady was really rude. Doesn't look promising.
• Michael's & Office Max: Told me to apply online.
• Sprouts: Not hiring.
• All 3 of the Starbucks': Not hiring, but I did leave my resume.
• Jack-in-the-Box: Not hiring
• IHOP: Not hiring busers
• Best Buy: Told me that they would review my online application.
• Lowes & Home Depot: Have to be 18 to work there.

My day was VERY discouraging. :( It was not good, but I am keeping my head held high. I did have a few nice things happen though. While at Target, I used Lyla's $50 gift card to buy her some cute wintery clothes. :) So adorable! I also got my GED study book while at B&N. I took the first practice test and did pretty good {with the exception of math.}

Tomorrow's agenda: sitting at home, filling out all the online applications I can. Then Wednesday, its off to the mall an hour away to search once more. Ugh! Please pray that I get a freaking job!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF CHANGING MY MIND

You people honestly must think I am schizo or something. Haha! I have changed my mind YET again. I was thinking long and hard today about the decision to go back to school. I just can't do it. I do not see me doing school for another 4 months when I could be out working, getting my GED, and going to college. I want to be independent. I want to be able to live on my own come this summer. I DO NOT want to be at that crappy school that I hate any longer.

I know that a lot of you are huge school advocates, but for me, this just isn't an option anymore, and I don't want it to be. My family and I are sticking to our choices. I have accepted that my childhood is over, so there is no need to keep trying to get it back. I don't want it back to be honest. I want to start my life. I want to live on my own, make my own money, and eventually start college classes that will help me reach my goal one day.

I am ready for my life to start, and going back to school is only going to postpone it. I do not want that. I feel like I have been so wishy-washy, and I am sorry for that. It honestly makes my head hurt! Haha! I swear, this is my choice, and I am sticking to it!

So, come Monday, I am off in search of a job again. Hopefully by December/January, I will have that job in the medical office. By October I am going to have my GED, and I am still pushing Matthew for child support. I pray that by the Summer of 2010, Lyla and I will have an apartment in town. Just the two of us. That is my goal, and I am going to do everything in my power to accomplish it.

Thank you, my friends, for listening to this crazy blogger. I hope your head doesn't hurt as much as mine. :P But I will leave you with this good news: Tomorrow I have my first ever PHOTO SHOOT!!! OMGosh! And its not just any old photo shoot, I am actually getting paid! Haha! YES!! I have a few more shoots lined up in the coming weeks as well. These are the kinds of things I want to do, not be in boring old school. I really am "to cool for school." And don't you forget it!

Love you all! Thanks for listening to me once again!

AND THE SAGA CONTINUES...

My life has switched gears yet again. Today I officially turned in my withdrawl from school. While waiting for the paperwork to be filed, one of the counselors came up to me with some surprising news.

Long story short, I am back in school. Yay! I will be going to the Alternative School three hours a week {at which time I can bring Lyla with me}, and the rest of the work I will be doing on the computer at home. I will be graduating this December. It works out AMAZINGLY with the job I mentioned a few posts back. This is an answer to my prayers. God really does work things out.

So as of right now, I am going to be in school during the next few months. I think the job thing is going to be on hold, but we will see. I know for sure I will be starting the job I interviewed for in January, so the timing is PERFECT!

I pray this all works out. I really did not want to drop out, but I will do what I have to do to provide for my daughter. Now I can be home with her, which saves TONS of money. I get to walk with my class, and hold my diploma in my hand. God is good. Be praying this plan works out.

I HAD AN INTERVIEW THIS MORNING

Last night I got a text message from one of the mom's who's daughter is on my sister's volleyball team. It simply said this: "Give me a call. I have a job op for you." Needless to say, I called her right then and there.

Once I got a hold of her, she explained to me that a new medical office just opened up right across the hall from her, and that they were looking for a potential Admin Assistant. She had gone over there yesterday and pretty much bragged about me. The woman (Michelle) told my her to tell me that she would be happy to interview me today! I almost jumped for joy when I heard this.

So this morning I dropped Lyla off at her baby sitter's, then headed on over to the new office. All I can say is "wow." God surely does answer prayers. Michelle was sooooo friendly, and super professional. She asked me all kinds of questions and was very impressed with me. I had {thankfully} typed up a resume last week, so that was good to go.

Basically she said that I was hired. She was very impressed at my professional outlook, and my youthfulness. She let me know that she had to, by courtesy, let a few of the other ladies in there main office apply for the job, but she isn't confident that they will want it. I hopefully be starting this job sometime around December or January depending on how fast they can get up and running. So in the mean time, I need to find another job. If this one doesn't pan out, then I will always have a backup.

I am so very happy to share this good news with you all today. I just have a feeling that this is all going to work out. I have faith that God is going to get me into that office, and that I am going to build a nice career out of it for a while. I am very very excited. I still ask for prayer, though, since there is a small chance that this will not work out, but I am going to trust that it will.

JOB UPDATE

Hello everyone! Whoot! I have a few minutes here to post somewhat of an update. :) As you can probably tell from my writing, I am doing much better than the last time I "talked" to you all. I have had a few days to sort some things out, and truth be told, I am kind of excited about starting this new independant life. Yeah, I really wish I could walk down the aisle with my class, but you know what, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter all the much. I will still have a diploma, just not a HIGH SCHOOL diploma. Big whoop.



Anyways, I went off for a few hours job hunting today. Over the past two days I have been applying everywhere I could think of online. My main place being at Safeway {I worked there when I was 15 before I got preg} So I actually went into the store today to talk with one of the managers. He was very pleased that I was available anyday anytime. He took my number and said he would give me a call as soon as he passed my info onto the head boss. :) Sounds promising to me.



Just in case that falls through, I also applied at a few other places. I applied at Bashas', McDonalds, and Best Buy. I will be going out again looking for more places to apply once my car is fixed. I am actually feeling really good about this. :) I think everything is going to work out. Though, there is one thing...



Okay, so, long story short, Matt's {baby daddy} girlfriend, Ashley works at Safeway. Doh!!! Yeah, she and Matt have been together since I was about three months pregnant. He was all but stalking me when I broke up with him almost two years ago. Saying "we will get married" and "I love you so much" blah blah blah. I fell for it everytime, but once word got out I was pregnant, he ran the other way. Now its almost been two years, and him and his precious skank little beauty are supposidly getting married. {Good riddance I say} She can help pay for Lyla's child support.



Okay, I am just ranting now, but honestly, she is like class 10 white trash. It actually makes me feel better to know that he downgraded. And he, by the way, turned into a major tool. Gauged his ears, mohawked his hair, bleached it blonde; ya know, the whole nine yards. And this guy is 20!! Ugh! >.<



So anyways, that's my update for the day. Sorry if that made absolutely no sense, I just really needed to vent a little. Also, I hope I don't get in trouble for this buuuut...wanna see a picture of Ashley and Matt? Okay, I will show you. You decide if he downgraded or not. First I will show you a picture of Matthew {mind you, he really was cute when I dated him}. Then comes the picture of Ashley. Enjoy.

They are perfect for each other huh?? Oh they are going to make such beautiful babies!!! NOT!!! I am sooo glad Lyla looks like me. Seriously. Ugh, sorry for all the meaness. Most people don't see this side of me, but seeing her just provokes so many angry memories. Its okay, "vengence is mine" Thus sayeth the Lord. >:}

REALITY CHECK

Life. It comes at you fast. I think every normal human being can attest to that. For some reason, I have been living in this delusion that life doesn't effect me. I can beat it. I can just squeeze by without the slightest bit of responsibility. NEWS FLASH: I can't.

Yesterday was one of the biggest turning points in my life. This car accident has really shown me and my family some things. The main one being: I cannot be a teenager any longer. I am a mother. 21 months ago I became a mother. I became a mother the day I found out I was pregnant. Goodbye teenager hood, hello mommy hood.

My family and I have recently made some VERY tough decisions. Some that I almost don't want to talk about. Some that are leaving me feeling raw and helpless. On the flip side, I am excited. I know that through these tough decisions, I will start to feel more independent. I will truly be a mother to my daughter, 100%.

Lyla is my life. I take care of her every day. I am her rock. I am her mommy. But that's all I am. I am not her provider. As much as I want to be, I am not. You see, I am only raising Lyla half way. My parents pay for everything. I do not have a job. Every single thing that Lyla needs financially, comes from them. That is one thing that is going to change.

The first step to achieving Independence is in the form of me getting a job. I am dropping out of school. Yes, I thought I would be a different sort of teen mom. One that finishes school and walks with her class. Well, guess what, I AM A TEEN MOM!! I am going to do what I have too, to provide for Lyla. Yesterday was my official last day on a high school campus. I am grieving this tremendously, but I know in my heart it is the right thing.

Come Monday, when I get my car back, I am off job hunting. I will take the very first job that comes my way. Once I finally do find a good job, I am going to get my GED. I am going to study hard, and pass it. Once I get my GED, and turn 18, I will be able to get a much more rewarding job. Will I be making 30 bucks an hour? Probably not. But at least I will be providing for my daughter financially.

Lastly, I am pushing Lyla's father for child support. Matthew helped create our beautiful daughter, and he needs to help out too. It shouldn't have to be my parents footing the bill while I run around and play teenager. Nope, I am a mommy, 100%, and that's what I want to be. I hate high school anyways!! Matthew is going to help with our daughter. He needs to help with her. With his child support, and my new job, I will be able to provide for my daughter. Yeah, its gonna be really hard. Yeah, I am probably going to cry a lot. Yeah, I am going to miss out on so many thing. But what I will receive from this is so much greater than anything I can even fathom. I know God knows what He is doing, and I am going to trust Him with my whole heart.

With all that being said, I may not be posting in here as much as I usually do. One of my problems is that I have a major Internet addiction. I will admit it, I LOVE THE COMPUTER! I want to eventually go to college and have a career with computers, but that isn't my focus right now. This computer isn't mine, it is my parents'. I do not know if I will be allowed to use it much, or if at all. I hope that I will be able to continue my blogging, and recording of my life with Lyla, but right now, I am not making that my priority. If all of my dear followers feel the need to remove my blog from your list, then I very much understand, but I hope you will stick in this with me.

I love sharing my story, and documenting my life. I hope to continue to do that through these difficult and stressful times coming. Please please pray for me. I could use all the prayer I can get! Thank you all for listening, and I hope I will be back soon to update you all. God bless.

MY WEEK - CAUTION: MAY BE EXTREMLY BORING

Ahhh, it feels so wonderful to just sit and relax at my computer, knowing that I don't have to wake up at 6AM for school in the morning. Pure bliss. As I said in my I ♥ Faces post, I wanted to give you all a little recap into what happened with ME this week. :) Not many things too too exciting happened, but it just helps me emotionaly to get it all out in some way. Ready? Here we goooooo...

*Monday* Had a pretty good start for the week. My classes were pretty good. :) Music Studio and Choir are my fave though! :D Took lots and lots of notes. >.<
*Tuesday* Tuesday was really good! I took two quizzes {That wasn't the good part LOL}. It wasn't a good day for some special reason, it was just good. You know how you just have a really good day. I was in a great mood, the weather was nice...yeah, it was a good day. :)
*Wednesday* Wed's is my fave day of the week!! Know why? YOUTH GROUP NIGHT!! Whoot! Lexy also had her very first vball scrimmage. :D It was really fun to tbe able to go and watch. Afterwards I headed over to the Brink's house for TRUTH Youth! Oh, and I got 100% on both those quizzes I took Tues. Yay me!
*Thursday* OMGosh!!! I FREAKING BROKE MY SHOE!!! Seriously, I was in 3rd hour, just sitting there tapping my foot, and my SHOE BROKE!!!! You know how when you where flip-flops they sometimes just where out and break? Yeah, well that happened to me! And I had to go to the nurse where she taped it, YES TAPED IT, with packing tape! It was so hilarious {But also annoying LOL!} So anywho, that was my funny moment for the week. :P

And today, wonderful Friday. School is half day on Friday so I got out at 12:15! Yay-ness! My day started off with Starbucks {YUM!} and I chilled in my car for a bit reading my book waiting for school to start. Then right after school I headed to my new besties house {Doran} to hang with her and Gabe {Lyla didn't come because she was with Mom} We had an awesome time just hanging out and making fun of our ex's. :P Now here I am, talking with you all through the computer. ♥

Whew!! Its all out! I hope you aren't sleeping on your keyboard! Haha! So, how was your week? Anything interesting like shoe breaking go on? Hmmm?

HEAR ME OUT

I PROMISE you, new posts are coming soon. I know I haven't posted as much as I used to, but, as you know, I am pretty darn busy. :P I should get some new posts up tonight if I can find time to edit some pix. I have tons of great pictures of Lyla that I want to share. Until next time...

MORE ON SCHOOL

Okay, I know I made just a real quick recap on my first day of school. Really, that was all to say. We've all been to high school (I hope) and we all know how it is. As the wise man Soloman said in the Good Book, "There is nothing new under the sun." Boy is that true! I was gone from my highschool for a year, and I figured things would be TOTALLY different, but there was nothing new. The halls were still overcrowded, the lunch room was so noisy you couldn't hear anything, everyone was still in there little groups and cliques, and there were still those handful of crochety old teachers who remind you of the guy from Ferris Beuller's Day Off.

Today was not much different. Everything was pretty much the same. It has been pretty cool though, I have already connected to two other teen mommies. :) One girl in my choir class is 12 weeks along. She is my age, and is taking it pretty well. The other is a Hispanic girl that I met this morning. I just kinda felt like God was pushing me towards her. I saw her before school walking from the office, as was I. I listened to God and introduced myself. She was very surprised to see this preppy white chick coming toward her, I could see it in her face. She probably thought I was yet another one of those stuck-up snobs who I came in contact with on a daily basis when I was pregnant in high school. >.<

ANYWAYS, I walked up to her and told her I was a teen mommy too. Her face IMMEDIETLY changed! We talked all the way to class. She is 8 month along, and due next month. She is having a little boy, and her ex is denying that he is the father. Ugh! Stupid sperm donors! >:O It was just really cool to see how God wants to use me this year. I may not have a lot of friends, or people I click with, but I can be a friend to others in my same situation.

I do, however, feel pretty alone at school. I feel like I don't belong. I don't care about all the gossip, and the boys, and making fun of the teachers. I just want to get my work done, and go home to see my baby. Its hard. I wont lie. I WANT to fit in, but its just not gonna happen. I am a mommy now. I am mostly okay with that. Like I said, I know I can be a friend to people, even if they aren't friends to me, but its just hard to be alone sometimes. But I have to remember that God is always there. He will always be my very bestest friend. :) So I am really going to use this year to shine God's light through me to others. I want Him to use me. I have decided to be positive, and if that means sitting all alone at lunch, then I am fine with it.

All that being said, I hope all those who are in school-whether that be middle school, high school, or college-are having a great start to the year, and I will be praying for all of you. :) And your prayers would be greatly appreciated as well. God bless everyone, I am off to bed.

QUICK SCHOOL UPDATE

Just posting quickly before bed...school was very good today. It was awesome to be back. :) Classes are gonna be cake, well, except for Algebra! I already had homework tonight! OMGosh! Lyla did amazing, and was perfect for the babysitter, so that makes me happy. :) It was still hard to leave her though. :( But overall I thinks its gonna be a great year....I HOPE!!! I'll have a more thorough run-down tomorrow, but for now, I am off to bed. Night lovelies. ♥

A NEW KIND OF EVOLUTION

No, I am not talking about evolution in Darwin terms. [However, if you ever wanna debate about the fairytale called evolution, hit me up.] Nope, this is a different kind of evolution...the evolution of my hair over the last two years!!! :D

So here is what I used to look like. I hid behind my plain style. This is when I was preggo, so you can see my tum tum :). I used to just whip my hair back into a VERY tight ponytail, it was simple, and easy, but not very flattering...

Next up we have my still long hair, but a bit more stylish. I added some bangs and layers. I still "rocked" my ponytail most of the time though...

This is when I got daring! I shopped half my hair off! OMGoodness! I have NEVER had short hair like that! I donated it to Locks of Love, and walked out with my newly styled head held high...

Six months later, I did it again! Shorter this time! I wanted a new do for my senior year. I cut it short and shagged it up. The Modern Pixie!

Finally, the end of the evolutionary journey...I still have the same shaggy do, but I added some funky coloring! I have NEVER dyed my hair before in my life!!! :O Well, I did today!

Hey! You can also see another type of evolution here! The evolution of my photography skills! Hehe! :P Anywho, thanks for listening to my crazy ramblings!

GUESS WHO MADE THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM???

Don't know? Are you sure? Come on, just guess!!! Okay okay, I'll give you a hint. She is super beautiful. An amazing jokester. Hmm...she is the world's best auntie. She's everyone's best friend. Still don't know? Okie dokie, I'll show you...

Yep! Its true! Lexy made the Junior Varsity volleyball team! We are all so proud of her here at the Cosgrove house! She will be playing middle hitter for the Wickenburg High V-ball team! Lexy we are all so excited to see you play this year! Knock 'em dead!

Congrats to all the other awesome ladies who made the Freshman, JV, and Varsity teams, with a special shout-out to Marah Brink! You rock too girlie! :D

OUR FRIDGE BIT THE DUST

About a week ago we all started noticing a strange taste to our food. We noticed that it was all......WARM! Our fridge was turned to the lowest cold setting, and our food was still warming quickly. Mom and Dad came to the conclusion that we needed a new fridge. I new fridge?!?! Its not even 4 years old! People have refrigerators from the 70's that are still working amazing! Anyways, Mom and Dad went up to Prescott last Thursday for a emergency fridge search.

Our new fridge was delivered on Sunday, and it is a beauty! Its a Samsung, double-door fridge, with a drawer freezer. Its Mom dream fridge, and it works wonderfully! Once again our food is yummy and cold. Now, our dishwasher on the the other hand...
