After that, Kaylee and I went back home to relax and sleep before Wednesday. Kaylee and I had to be back to the Bucs Arena on Friday by 8:30 A.M. The Black Friday sale started at 9:00 A.M. From 9 to 11 everything in the cove was marked 20% off, and from 11 to 1, everything in The Cove was marked 10% off. The 10% off went through the night for the game, but we closed down The Cove at 1:00 P.M. so Kaylee and I could have a break. We finally left The Cove to go to lunch around 1:30 P.M. We went to eat lunch at Wasabi Chi. We ate with my cousin Stephanie and her dad Steve. I ordered the Out of Control Roll and Japanese Chicken Fried Rice.

Well I wasn’t actually smiling and as brutal as I made it sound, it wasn’t as horrific an event now that I look back on it. The incident occurred while I was on Spring Break during my freshman year in high school. My family and I were vacationing in Gatlinburg, Tennessee;which if I might add we’ve been there about eight times since I was seven years old. I remember clearly that day down to the exact temperature.…

    Since I was a little kid, I had always had a love for cooking and baking. I would beg my parents for the large toy kitchen sets with the fake plastic food. I would spend all day “preparing” the food and I would “feed” my parents; asking them if the food I made them was tasty. I even had a tea set that my mom had bought me; I adored it, it was a white set that had little flower details on the pot and cups. When I first got the set I would stop all of my family members who passed by me for some “tea” but I soon stopped asking as I would usually get a “No, thank you” from my dad and sister; however, my mom wouldn’t decline me so she became my go-to person for when I wanted to drink tea with someone.…
