Winter Preparation

Well... this year I shall experience something very strange and foreign to my life.

...

Winter.

Soo... This gives me an excuse to go shopping!!! :)

Jacket Purchase #1

Jacket Purchase #2

Jacket Purchase #3

Hopefully I don't freeze to death once the snow actually comes. Which I am pretty sure it will be in like a week... Ugh.

Cooking

I love cooking... What have I made recently?

Green Chili Burros

Green Chili Enchiladas

Mongolion Chicken

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Cauliflower Soup

Pumpkin Cookies

and much more...

Why can't I just be a Mom and cook everyday for my husband and children?? This school thing is hard. BUT... I did PASS a test today and that is always a great motivation to keep going with school. Freakin 84 percent :) So what if it was on the Book of Mormon! It is still a class and it still counts towards my grades!!!

Back to cooking again... This weekend something serious is happening... Roommate Cook Off with other Roommates haha. Me and Kelsey vs. Stephen and Boone. Yes, we HAVE made new friends. :) The contest is a chicken, italian meal. Bring it on! :) Pictures to come of course.

Cooking seems to be something I use as an excuse to not do homework...

"I'm hungry... I need to eat... This can wait til I have made a delicious meal... I might as well make something amazing.. I've been working hard! I deserve it!"

Okay now I am just rambling... And yes... I am hungry right now... And I am supposed to be doing homework...

:D

Someone Like You. Adele.

I heard that you settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,"
Yeah.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

I absolutely love this song. But I have found a new version that brought new feeling to it. Amazing.

CHeck it Out. You won't regret it!

Sodas and Sweets

So I have this soda problem. I have inherited this from my parents, and their parents as well. I used to be able to justify this problem with the following statement...

"It's okay that I drink lots of soda... WHY? Cause I never eat any sweets. If I try to quit soda, I eat sweets. So I might as well do the one I enjoy most!"

Well.... Times have changed. And I would like to blame BYU.

Byu brings tests, which brings stress, which brings emotional breakdowns, which brings desire to pig out, which means buy soda and if its a bit worse of a problem... buy candy. Well...

...

I don't think I can use my perfect excuse anymore. I have a problem. Darn byu...
