The other day I decided to make some rice krispies because we had all the stuff for it, which does not happen very often. I got our marshmellows and started the slow process of melting them. I kept waiting and waiting and they would not melt. After about 5 min I thought something must be wrong with the marshmellows. They were soft and we had used them before to make rice krispies so I could not figure it out. One thing I could think of why they would turn out the way they did was because the marshmellows were so old. They were only from April. They never went hard so I figured it would be ok. I also had a quick idea of it being due to the humidity but I have made rice krispies before and never had this problem. I also thought it could have been the name of the marshmellows. The name of them was "campfire marshmellows." I remember that Derrick and I did use those marshmellows to make rice krispies back in april and they melted fine then. that is why I thought it was how old they were. Needless to say the rice krispies never got made and we had to settle for something else.

EARTHQUAKE and TYPHOON

Tonight I was sitting on the couch just playing with Cole and all of a sudden I heard the sliding door rattle and the floor was kind of shaking. It did not last too long, but a few seconds later the shaking started again. This time it lasted longer and I could see things shaking and moving. It was scary for me and my heart was beating pretty fast. It made me think of what I need to do to be prepared if anything did happen. I remembered I had 2 cases of water but they are in the car. We do have some food but not enough. that is mostly my fault because I have not been to the store since we got back from Singapore a few days ago. We are also on a typhoon watch. It is actually a tropical depression but they are just giving us a warning just in case it is more than that. Oh the adventures with mother nature we have. Oh, I almost forgot to write but the earthquake was south of Tokyo on some island , it measured a 7.1, which I am so glad was there and not where we live.
