Sunday Snapshots

I cooked Sunday dinner for my roommates tonight and it was kind of fun. I thinks it's one of the first real home-cooked meals I've had since being back in Idaho. It was a family affair, I used my mom's spaghetti sauce recipe and my Aunt Amy's lava cake recipe. It was delicious and we definitely enjoyed it! I hope they make me dinner next week!

Cake in the face

We had almost as much fun eating the lava cake batter as we did eating the actual lava cakes.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-anges!

I got a haircut! It was about time too, because my bangs weren't even bangs anymore they were so long!

This haircut also marked the first time in an extremely long time that my hair was cut by someone other than my uncle, Scott. I think it turned out cute!

There's a Paul Mitchell school here in Rexburg where you can make appointments for tons of different stuff. So I got a great haircut for $8! My stylist was named Stephanie and she takes her state board exam on Monday. Also, her fiancé is from Gilroy, CA which is near where I used to live, so it was fun chatting with her.

I'm happy with the cut and I'm so glad my hair doesn't just hang there anymore!!

Reverse Pyschology

For one of my classes, a group of students present each week on a topic that is considered beneficial to us as college students. Last week I presented on time management, and this week it was health and fitness.

Our class was divided in half, with one group staying in the classroom(my group), and the other group heading to the Hart(our fitness center). So my old roommate Sarah and I were sitting next to each other listening to these skinny girls talk about health,stress, and nutrition.

They had us read about the Word of Wisdom in the scriptures and describe the do's and don'ts written there. We got into a discussion about meat and when to eat it and why to do so sparingly, and then one of the presenter girls said that legumes and nuts, grains etc. were actually a good alternative source of protein.

All this talk about legumes and meat and grain made me hungry. I leaned over to Sarah, and said, "Do you want to go to Bajio's after this? I'm kind of hungry, we could just walk to my place and I can drive." Sarah gave me this "Do you even have to ask" face and was like "Um yeah I wanna go". So after we had paid our dues and finished the rest of the class, we walked up the hill to my apartment and I ran upstairs for my keys.

We were on our way to Bajio's when we spotted Katie walking up the hill, we pulled over and she hoped in. When we walked into Bajio's we were the only ones there. I ordered my burrito classico with mexican rice, pinto beans and honey chicken, with sour cream. As we sat there eating an awesome pile of deliciousness I had to thank our presenters, without them legumes,meat, and grains would not have been floating around my head. They probably wanted us to steer clear of food like Bajio's but their little lesson drove me right to it.

Thank you Health and Fitness group, thank you. My stomach thanks you too.

Oh and thank you Cold Stone for an awesome burrito chaser. :)

Epic Fail

So, my blog friends, I have joined a team. A dodgeball team. We had our first game last night and it was a lot of fun. Our team name is Epic Fail, and we did just that.

Before the game even began, we lost. We had to forfeit because not enough of our players showed up. We decided to stay and play anyway, and the other team agreed. Despite the fact that the other team had like 10 more people than we did and most of them were big athletic types, we had a good time.

We never did win a round though. We came close once, but then they came back and kicked our butts. So we failed epically.

I think my favorite part was making shirts and taking pictures before the game. It was great! The back of my shirt said "Slow and steady wins the race loses at dodgeball. I'm slow and steady..." I kind of loved it. It was a fun game and it got me moving.

Confession

Okay. I admit it. I miss my sister.

Katie has been out of town since Thursday, and I'm going a little crazy. I miss her stealing my chocolate, snagging my clean shirts before I have a chance to wear them, and her jumping on my bed with her laptop and doing homework browsing facebook together. I even miss her leaving dishes from her after school snack on my drawers.

She's one of my best friends and I miss her. I can't wait to talk to her when she gets home at like midnight tonight. She probably thinks that she'll get to go directly to bed when she gets home. She will be wrong. We will be discussing her trip while eating delicious goodies that I will post about later, and she will be smothered in my affection. I will cry and plead and ask her to never leave again, and if she does to take me with her. She will look at me like I am a strange creature from one of those fantasy books she reads,and say " you're a little retarded right now," and move on. We'll continue talking until she finally kicks me out of her room. All this before I tuck her in, kiss her on the cheek, turn off the light and shut the door.

The next day she will steal my favorite pair of Vans and everything will be right with the world.
