Keeping Buzzzy

Oh my goodness. Time has flown and I've been busier than the bees. Things I've managed to do since my last post:

  1. Enjoyed being an aunt. Honestly, it's the best and I don't get enough time with my little cabbage patch baby.
  2. Made my first cheesecake - it tastes like fall with the leaves falling outside and spices in the air. It's a white chocolate mouse pumpkin cheesecake. I decided to try making it to see if I like it as a substitute for pumpkin pie (harder to make without eggs) so yeah. I think this works great!
  3. I've been surviving taking 3 classes (for only a month, then one ends) while also working full time. If I ever do this again, remind me of this very day where it's the 8th day in the row staying up late doing homework and with 2 more crammed days of work ahead. I'm so mentally done with homework it's not funny. 
  4. I entered in artwork into the county fair! I've been meaning to do that for 3 years but I haven't had time to finish something really nice. I'm happy to say I got 3rd place and I celebrated by going to Maverick and getting a diet coke. haha.
  5. I went camping! I haven't gone in a couple years. Mom and I went for a week and just went up to the canyon close by. It was nice and peaceful and I got some artwork done and read a book during the trip. 
  6. I've managed to read over 23 books so far this year, that's close to breaking a record. I'm hoping to get more done in December when school ends to see if I can break my previous records.
  7. Also, I'm planning on going to England in a year from now. I already have the savings for it and I'm going with my sister Becki and my friend Ashley. We just got the dates approved and we tentatively booked our bed and breakfasts to stay in!!!! I cannot wait to go back. 
Twin lakes; by Brighton
The Snarl; finished 8/13/2016

Anyway, hopefully I'll have more pictures later. It's late and I either need to work on more of my paper or get some sleep. Bye for now.

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...
