Spring Break

It went by WAY too fast, but here's a look at what I did!

I set up my sewing machine in my room at my mom's house.

Isn't it adorable? Works great too!

I made an apron out of an old skirt and some lace.

I bought my first car!!

I painted a key holder for my new car keys.

I got a new fish named Mushu.

And now back to school!

Rainy Day

With absolutely no obligations!! I love it! :)

My day has been pretty much filled with a Harry Potter marathon and some home-made French onion soup. 

 I'm headed to San Diego tomorrow, road trip home with my best friend!

I'm so glad this part is over...

One more test to go then it's Spring break!!

I'm going to try this!

This literally made me smile.

I found this as i was drinking coffee too! :)

I <3 Owls.

politically correct.

I have a cold.

But my Dayquil is doing a nice job of masking it!

I got to enjoy some Teriyaki Macaroni Salad today!

And I stumbled upon this and thought it was funny :) The lady kinda looks like Santana from Glee...

Anticipation.

Spring Break.

Possibly my new favorite TV show? We shall see...

Today's Horoscope.

Could it be any more spot-on for this day? I'm not going to go into details of why this is so relevant to me, but just trust that it is.

"You cannot change the past, Gemini. This is a simple fact. What's done is done. However, you can change your perception of a past experience. You can open your eyes to something that you once saw one way, and see it another way. When a dramatic and possibly traumatic event happened in your life sometime in the past year, you couldn't look at it objectively. You may have felt wronged. You may have felt betrayed. But it wasn't really as black and white as all that. Explore other perspectives. Try to see it through someone else's eyes, and you may find enough peace to rise above it."

P.s. my best friend and I are learning how to yodel tonight. So productive!

Love these!!!

I seriously devoured them in like 5 minutes. Gluttony? No. The whole bag is only 60 calories!! But then again, it is Fat Tuesday... which is why me and my friends are having a potluck feast tonight, complete with beads and masks! :)

I'm still here!

I know it's been a while since I've written on here, but here I am now!
Today is my wonderful friends', Britt and Paige, birthday!  They are both 22, which means that they're almost half-way to mid twenties! AHHH!! I remember when I thought that being 16 was the perfect age to be.  It signified being a real teenager for me. It's strange to think of how much I've grown in the past 5+ years: I graduated high school, fell in love, got in to college, left home, experienced trauma, survived the trauma, found my best friend/sister, made memories for a lifetime, and now I'm about to graduate and step into my post-school life. It's scary. I don't know if I'm ready for it, but whether I am or not, life still comes at me regardless.

Enough of my personal life, here are some recipes that I would love to try soon!

Ramen Udon Bowl

French Onion Soup Crostini

 

Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops

Asparagus Popover

Sparkling Strawberry Limeade
