The last of 2009

Can I just say the last of 2009 was awesome!!! The holidays were so much fun even if scattagories got a little intense :) haha but New Years eve was awesome and I had a blast! Then new years day actually making a poached egg with my mama (eggs benedict) was delish. Good times. I will add detail later but I am just now saying goodbye to 2009 which was kind of a crazy hectic year for me, and hello to 2010 which I have started off in such a good way!! I am feeling good about the new year! Already having a visit from Kristi Kay and Derrick which was awesome to see them even if it was for a short while! Then Kimberley is coming! It has just been a really fun first couple of days in the new year! Too bad school starts on tuesday, but i'm trying to be optimistic about that too, so ya.

Its a Wonderful Life...

Every Christmas season I attempt to watch 'Its a Wonderful Life' and every year I remember how much I hate that movie. The beginning and the end are cute, but the rest is depressing and gets me so tense that I can't enjoy the movie. So after my once again failed attempt to watch what I call 'Its a horrible crappy life' I decided to watch 'Julie and Julia'. I love that movie. It makes me crave bruschetta. I've only had my mom's version of bruschetta (which is delicious) but wow all that butter on the bread and those ripe tomatoes, I am drooling (If you didn't know, I love food. I love trying new restaurants and new recipes). My mom and I youtubed Julia childs and that lady was hilarious. We watched her on a segment of David Letterman and she can bs her way through anything. They ended up eating raw ground beef with melted cheese on it. We were laughing so hard. I now really want to try to make a raspberry bavarian creme. Anyway that's my random thoughts. And can I just say that I love Christmas! I love Christmas lights, food, decorations, no school, the feeling of Christmas, and the focus on Christ. Thats all.

More Awkwardness...

I know, me and even more awkwardness...how could that have happened? I don't know why awkward things tend to happen to me, but oh well they keep life interesting right? So today I was in my microbiology class and I've already told you about the loud laugher right, so this story is about the same kid. I was taking notes and I got that feeling that someone was staring in my general direction so I look over and this kid is staring at my notes, which a normal quick glance would be fine, but he kept staring and staring. I finally just stared at him until he realized he was being weird and turned away. A minute later the girl sitting next to me started laughing I and I look over and he's staring at my stuff again! So I stared at him again and then he stopped ...again. Things seem to be back to normal and class was going on as boring as always when out of the corner of my eye I see him shove (this is not an exaggeration) his finger as far up his nose as possible and then moves his finger around for probably a solid minute and then wipes his finger on his pants! Sick! I wanted to puke! To top it all off we were talking about good hygiene and washing your hands a lot to avoid airborne illnesses. ha! what a strange day.

Alright peps I've decided what to do with my life for the next two years (once again) and I am going to stay with my psychology major and minor in family studies. I think those two go hand in hand (well with my psychotic family at least (: ), so hopefully I will be able to be graduated by May 2011!! Woot Woot! Thats all.

Swing

Nate and Gwen were here like two weeks ago, I don't really know sometime in the near past haha and it was so much fun to see them and mostly to play with Gwen (sorry Nate). She is such a crazy child and you never know what your going to get so she keeps life very entertaining. Anyway Gwen is obsessed with the swing in devin's play room. She could stay in there and swing for hours. So I was pushing her on the swing and she was having fun and we would spin and do under dogs(as much as you can inside), but then Gwen looked at me and was like, "Hawey swing me" and to that I replied, "I am swinging you honey" and she would look at me and then say "Hawey Pwease" and I said, "Please what?" and she would just say "Pwease". So I just didn't say anything and I spun the swing and she yelled, "NO Hawey SWiNg me!" and then I would say once again, "I am swinging you!" and she would get mad and yell "SWING ME!" hahaha so once again I just wouldn't reply and this time she didn't reply back to my silence. So we kept swinging and things were going well, then once again Gwen looked frustrated at me and said "Pwease Hawey!" and I was like, "I thought we were past this!" and then it started all over again. I need to work on my communication with three year olds. But It was also way fun to see Gwen and Tiya together. Tiya loved Gwen, but Gwen just didn't care unless Tiya was getting more attention. By the end of the trip though she would give Tiya kisses and call her 'baby Tiya'. Here are some pics of the cute ones:
That was the best we could get of both of them, Tiya would attack Gwen and so Gwen would run away haha, but we tried to have a photo shoot, they just didn't quite cooperate.

Scaddy's!!

Wow I've just realized that I never posted the final pictures of Scaddy's, I'm such a slacker sometimes! So here are the highly anticipated pics that everyone has been waiting for for like six whole weeks oh the anticipation! I think it turned out way good, and so many of you have come and supported!!! Thats been one of the funnest parts is seeing everyone!

Its been so much fun! but seriously I am so glad the painting and getting ready part is all done cuz that stuff was killer, but now its fun! I'm lovin working with the family and seeing people that I rarely get to see!!

Attack!

I bet you all have wondered, "What does a lip look like when it gets a mosquito bite?" Well people your wildest dreams are about to come true because I now can show you exactly what that looks like:

Last night I was attacked! I was lying in bed peacefully asleep when my foot and back both started itching. I of course being half asleep scratch them both and fell back asleep, but then my hand and leg started itching too. I semi-woke up and didn't know what was going on, but I tried to ignore them and was falling back asleep when I heard a buzzzz right by my face, I rose my hand in the air and sadly attempted to smack the maker of the horrible noise, but to no avail. It would leave for a second and then come back with a vengence. I was so groggy that it didn't occur to me to turn on the light and smack the terrible beast, so I kept waving my arm in the air and trying to go to sleep. I think then it found out my weakness in sleep because it left me alone to drift off and then I'm sure thats when it attacked my face. I don't know where the creature is now, but I hope it doesn't come back for round two tonight. I'm also hoping it wasn't a virus carrier...oh dang. Thats all.
