Happy Halloween!

Halloween is by far the stupidest holiday out there. It seriously is so dumb. I pretty much just boycott it.

But if you like it, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

For your funsies/Random thoughts

...Never Gets Old...

This is me!!!!


Conversation I overheard today:
Violet: Did you dress up this weekend?
Cara: Yeah! My boyfriend was Ronald McDonald and I was the Hamburgler.
Violet: Oh that's so clever! I like it.
Cara: Did you dress up?
Violet: Yeah, I was supposed to be a Vampire but my teeth kept falling off so I was just a whore in a cape.
Cara: Eh, its Halloween!
Violet: I know, right? At least I had a cape.

I pulled some ligaments and have a bone bruise in my foot. So lovely. I have to stick it in a stinkin bowl of ice and water for 5-10 minutes multiple times a day. These picture are how it looks after sitting in an ice bath.

I read this piece Fall 2010 in my senior English class. I recently emailed that teacher to get the piece. I don't know why, but I love it. Keep looking at the blog and maybe I will write my own.

Spring 2013

Some class options for next spring since it's already midterms and advising in in just a couple weeks:

• Anthropology of Food

• Racism and Language

• Beginning Acting

• Public Speaking

• Survey of Astronomy (online)

• Women's Studies (online)

Eh? Whaddya think? The lame ones (like public speaking and women's studies) fill general requirements...I'm not just interested in that junk (no offense women or...politicians?).

Also, I totally am going to do beginning acting. HOLY COW THAT IS SO NOT LIKE KYLEE! It is going to be freaking fantastic. I could be the next Jennifer Aniston, or Jennifer Lawrence, or Jennifer Garner.....

*why can I only think of actresses named Jennifer???*

ANYWAY. Should be an interesting semester next spring.

Pinterest Baking Night/Day/Event

Pinterest? You heard of it? Oh yeah, its great. Truly it is. My friend and I spent from 7-11 on friday night preparing 4 different Pinterest recipes and then in between conference and after conference finishing those recipes and delivering them to lovely people in Laradise. (Random Fact: Today is National Dessert Day)

 

This first set of pictures of the table is a sort of time progression from the beginning of the even throughout until the end when we assembled the little plates for delivery. 

These were the beginnings of our Boston Creme Puffs (This isn't the exact recipe we used but its the same result)

No Bake Cookie Dough Bars

The final No Bake Cookie Dough Bars

Here was our final assembly minus the cookie dough bars which were in the freezer at this time. We have in the top left Apple Cider Carmel Cookies which were ama-za-zing. Then top right we have Pumpkin Snickerdoodles.  And at the bottom of the plate are the finished Boston Creme Puffs.

We had a blast making all of these things and had just as much fun delivering them to various people we know in Laradise.

Happy Sabbath and General Conference and National Dessert Day!

School these days

Here are a few pictures describing what my life is like these days

I'm doing this on my phone so I don't know how the format will turn out but....

There's a picture of the Scramblers logo. Hahahahaha my friend and I decided that would be our superpower if we could choose one. We would scramble people's thoughts...think about it, it would be useful in many many situations.

There is a picture of an old man at the dumpster...well he is my neighbor. And anytime anyone takes garbage out he goes through it. It's super weird and we are pretty sure he's deaf.

There is a picture of Devils tower near Hulett, Wyoming. I spent the weekend there a couple weeks ago with Allen's family and we saw the tower. It's pretty cool.

Then there is a picture of a skeleton hand. Wellllll those are all real human bones. For my Forensic Anthropology class we have to be able to identify and side bones of the human skeleton. It's a blast. Anyway, this hand we semi re-articulated. It was pretty fun actually. But this class is stinking hard. I like it

Enjoy!
