Try it. I dare you.

Vanilla ice cream. and lots of it.
2 peaces. ripened, peeled, and cut in fourths.
Several shakes of cinnamon.
A little milk.
Blended to perfection.

Heaven in a cup.

Thanks to my daddy for the genius behind the recipe :)



Also, I really love this video.

Firmly on the ground

Dearest Cousin....

I just wanted to let you know, that I needed your latest post.
I too, could use a bit of a wake up call.

Sometimes I imagine that Mr. Right is just going to waltz into my life.
Incredibly handsome. Waiting to solve all my problems. Bringing me flowers.

It's my dream. All I think I want.

But, then I come back to earth.

He's not going to come into my life and sweep me off my feet.
(In fact if that happened, I think I would be a little weirded out.)

And, actually being in a relationship.... kind of scares me.
a lot.

Plus, we have to be friends first. That's kind of a rule I have.
None of this just coming out of the blue and scaring me like that.

But, I like the comment that happiness is not brought upon by a husband. or a boyfriend.
YOU choose to be happy. And then you get the boyfriend.... And then the husband.

So, I'm trying to keep my outlook on life a positive one.
despite being single. and not dating. and having computer problems. and being away from the wonderful people I claim as my family.

Life is good.

I need to try and be the best me. Someone that I would want to marry.
Then, maybe when future husband comes along, he'll want to marry me! ...that's the goal at least.
I'm going to work on things, one at a time. slowly but surely, to better myself.


And I'm going to do my best to keep my feet planted firmly on ground.

My hat

It's cold outside. 

It snowed the first week of October.

No thank you.

But, that means that I get to lounge around in sweats 

and fuzzy socks.

And wear fun hats to keep my ears warm :)

I think plans for tonight are going to be to curl up, 

and watch a movie with some hot chocolate

moddest is hottest

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder. - Emma Watson

Moments that Matter

Sorry this is a day late...
This is my absolute f a v o r i t e Mormon Message. I can't even express how much I love it.
Please enjoy! :)
