Feelin' the Love


Happy Valentines Day Everyone! I'm feeling the love (from my family people!) with this awesome dancing flower....


... these fantastic quotes and inside jokes of all my best friends...


... and more packages from home. Yum. 

Okay, to be honest, I had bigger hopes for this blog post. I was going to be all cute - as I have many more photos depicting my life - and collage them all into one, artsy, hipster photo block like all the cool kids on blog world do. I didn't have the time. Disappointment, I know. I am terribly sorry, as much for you as for me. Excuse me as I go read the longest book in the New Testament now, take a shower, and wake up before 7am to make it to my 8am. It's happening. To say I'm excited would be a lie. Nevertheless, I would understand if you were excited for me. Have I mentioned Tuesdays are my busiest days? Gah! Bleh! Yikes!

Scarves and Family

Guess who finally finished their Harry Potter Scarf? Yes. That's right, me. And by finished I mean I finished the crocheting part of the scarf - still have to tie in all the loose ends but that's okay, that's the easy part.


Looks good right? Despite the bad picture quality. :) For those who are counting, that makes 2 Harry Potter Scarves for me, reference here.

And don't judge, I know that the Ravenclaw one is better. Also don't judge, I really don't like Harry Potter. I just think that JK Rowling has excellent color combinations. Now for a Slytherin and Hufflepuff scarf. (To be honest, I'm not even sure that's how you spell any of those things)

Anyways, because Harry Potter isn't really that exciting and family members who send you great things are...


I'm moving on to that. For the record, this places those who live in Bend in 1st place. Just saying, you know, for anyone who might want to change those results...

I'm just kidding, but it really does make a day to get a thoughtful package full of wonderful things :) Notably, these...


A circle scarf! I've been wanting one forever - no lie! And it's a fantastic color and warm and comfy and soft :) So it's pretty great. And I wore it today and it made me look pretty great. (Well, after my 8am psych test that is. For reference, I wore sweats for the first time to class today and I can see why people do it every day. Regardless, I'm wasn't proud. So I immediately came back to my room and changed.)


Also these are pretty fantastic. No explanation needed, if you don't know what it is you're missing out on life. Sorry that your life is terrible and you don't even know it. My personal favorite is the Annihilator one - I think I am allowed to try this now because I'm in college, and when you come to college you automatically become a good coffee drinker. Okay, so that's a lie. I never drink coffee here. 

Have a good weekend! I'm off to serve food with a smile :)

A Whole Lot of Food

Thanksgiving was just.... wonderful. It was so nice to be home for the first time in 3 months and just relax. Not literally, because I was doing things pretty much the whole time I was home, but mentally. No more stress, no more worrying - just being myself around my family and friends. It was nice to say the least. Of course the visit was too short and I am dragging my feet as I am pushed back into the college world of homework and classes. However, my spirits are held high as I keep in mind that I get to go home in two weeks. Just two weeks until I will have finished my first semester of college! It is rather unbelievable.
And now, some pictures from Thanksgiving. All of them are from the making of muddy buddies right after our Thanksgiving feast. This was obviously because my cousins and I didn't get enough to eat.


As my cousin pointed out, "I'm pretty sure the word pyro should not be used in a food that you put over the fire and then eat...."


yummy



Extra sticky goodness :)



Sorry dogs - chocolate isn't good for you.
