Turkey Lurkey

Thanksgiving is in two days. I can almost smell the rolls and pumpkin pie. Tomorrow I get to bake my homemade apple pie and a mincemeat pie. If we're lucky we're going to whip out a sweet potatoe pie to take to my Grandpa's house. I've been having a lot of fun preparing for Thanksgiving. I practiced making my apple pie in my 9" deep dish pie pan. That is a LOT of pie. You really have no idea until you see it. It took 5 large apples to make that pie. I also went and served Thanksgiving dinner to adorable old people in  a retirement center. They were so cute, and so happy with the dinner. It made me look forward to my own Thanksgiving dinner this week! Also, I'm SUPER DUPER excited for Tangled coming out tomorrow!!!

I've also witnessed my first blizzard. Apparently we've had them before, but I don't remember them and I obviously wasn't driving then. The blizzard itself wasn't as bad as I thought it would be in general, just a bad snow storm. However, I'm not looking forward to driving to work tomorrow, even if we are opening an hour later than normal in anticipation for the horrible driving conditions. So hopefully I'll survive the drive and this won't be my last post. I can't die anyway, I have to see Tangled after I get off work. Overall, I enjoy the snow. It makes me want to stay home and bake cookies, curl up with a blanket and drink hot chocolate while watching a super cute movie. :)

To end this post I'm going to just list some things I'm thankful for: Family, friends, pen pals, cell phones,  scriptures, movies, snuggling, puppies, books, cars, music, violins, jobs, baking, computers, blankets, faith, high heeled shoes, pillows, alarm clocks, prayers, and carmel.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

What are you thankful for?

Rushing!

Sorority Life . Not what I thought, at least for Lamba Delta Sigma . To begin with, I didn't know what a sorority was until the day I joined. I thought it was full of prissy girls who go shopping, gossip, and wear pink all the time (kind of a Legally Blonde persona, see picture). But my friend Nadia didn't want to join alone so she dragged me along and convinced me to do it too. By the time I left the first day, I could see my presumptions were wrong. It wasn't full of silly blondes in pink skirts and high heels at all, instead they were all young women like me. This was great news because now I can tell blonde jokes without having to explain them fifty times! Since I'm not taking classes this fall I decided I needed a change in things to make sure I keep active, especially after not doing too much this summer when it came to friends. Not that it was that bad being a homebody. Watching my sisters turn their pretty faces into gruesome troll expressions is quite ...

Believe that the Earth turns Slowly

[Photo taken by me at Aphosian Gardens 2008] Life is moving really fast for me now. I can't believe how many things will happen within the next two weeks, most of which I'm not entirely prepared for. First of all, my  birthday in a couple days. I'm young yet, early twenties but am I the only one who finds it weird when they become a year older? I don't feel much different than I did last year, and with everything going on it doesn't feel like my birthday. Normally I start counting down at the beginning of December because I just add 2 weeks onto the countdown to Christmas. This year, at the beginning of the week I had to count to make sure my birthday was actually this weekend. I'm just too preoccupied to think about it much. I also have school starting next Monday, and I'm going part time, but I'm working part time at crazy hours running back and forth from school and work, and my best friend gets married right after it starts. At least her wedding isn...

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...
