Three things everyone should have…

A wonderful momma, Lilly pajamas and a football helmet cookie cutter!
I came home for the weekend for youth sunday at church so mom and I spent a day getting beautified and buying a lamp to make the living room more beautiful! Dad and I went to the grocery store and then went to dinner as a family which I love love love!! Now mom and I are making my great grandmas sugar cookies! Yum yum!!

Rolled Sugar Cookies:
1 cup of butter
Cup and a Half of sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
3 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream sugar and butter then add eggs as vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Chill the dough at least one hour (we didn’t know this was a step so that’s why we have time to blog!).
Preheat oven to 350. Roll out dough very thin on marble or a floured surface. Bake on a lightly greased sheet for about 6-8 minutes! Then decorate!

Call Tim Allen… I’m making Home Improvements!

So to preface this, there’s still a long way to go on the apartment. I want to add shelves, replace the furniture that is about to leave, and get rid of those blue balls hanging from the ceiling! And when I say get rid of, I mean burn them until they are just ashes in a pile then I w ill flush them down the toilet. How much I hate them is another discussion for another day. I added the curtains which has made an incredible difference. Any suggestions for apartment help will be much appreciated!

 

Dont even ask… I know they are terrible… hopefully they will be gone sooner rather than later!

The windows, pre curtains…

Two hours, lots of swear words and one bloody finger later… Voila!

Independence day?

Today has been my own version of independence day. First, I ate lunch alone… That’s a big deal for me seeing as up until today I would have just gone without food rather than eat alone. And now I’m sitting in Lloyd alone… Another big step. Understand when I say alone, I’m not alone. There’s a boy who just sat down and is drinking a minute maid and a girl typing (rather loudly, I might add) on her computer while eating chick-fil-a which is killing me because all I wanna do it steal her perfectly cooked waffle fries and shove them all in my face! While I understand that’s a little hostile, it is what I want to do. I have nothing of any real substance to talk about! I did hang some curtains and install some new things in my apartment… I’ll post pictures of the incredible improvements in a bit! Well, the pull of the waffle fries have become too much… I’m going to walk 30 feet to the chick-fil-a and get me some. After all it’s been 2.5 hours since I last ate chick-fil-a! Later gator!

You know you’re maturing when…

• your friends give you throw pillows, oven mitts and a cookbook for your birthday and you are thrilled!
• it’s 10:36 and I’m baffled as to why I’m still awake!

As the final hours of my birthday come to a close I decided to do a little reflecting on the past two decades. It’s weird to think I’ve been a live TWO WHOLE DECADES! True, in reality it’s just not that long but it me it’s a lifetime… hehe. I can never again use the phrase “it was a stupid teenage mistake.” One of my friends texted me today and he told me that all my teenage fun was over and it was time to start having adult fun. I don’t know what adult fun constitutes yet but I guess I have time to figure it out. Since it’s now 10:51 I need to sleep. Night night sleep tight!

Snowmageddon?

This is what I woke up to this morning… bummer! There’s a nice aroma of burnt brunswick stew to complete the morning. I accidentally fell asleep last night… oops! Here’s the funniest thing I’ve heard about the “snow”… Don’t worry about the ice and snow, it’s just hell freezing over because Auburn is playing for a national championship… Quack Quack!

Snowpocalypse?

So in an effort to beat what was supposed to be armageddon, I headed back to school this afternoon. Now I’m settled into my apartment watching desperate housewives and making brunswick stew! I called to get the recipe because I was headed to the grocery store to stock up on batteries and canned goods preparing for the upcoming doomsday. Turns out mom was making brunswick stew too! So as of now, I have one pot of brunswick stew on the stove and no snow outside… more updates of snowpocalypse 2011 to come!

Hey Y’all!

So after hearing my friend Leslie talk about how much she loves blogs I had to investigate… of course I was hooked immediately! So I figure what the heck! Might as well start my own! But seeing as I’m 19 and in college with no home to put together, no husband (or even boyfriend) to make marvelous dinners for and no children to chase all day, my blog topics are slightly limited. But I do have to make my temporary life at school a cozy one! Hopefully I don’t burn down my apartment in the mean time!
