Is That Wrong?

Have you ever had an urge to do something that wasn't maybe very nice but made you giggle none the less at the very thought of it?(I know my sister Jessi has) I have. This morning I was so thoughtfully woken up by my roommate, long before I ever thought I wanted to get up, so she could wish me a Happy Memorial Day. I couldn't go back to bed so I thought I should probably call my family and wish them too a Happy Memorial Day. I did this all too knowingly that their time zone is behind mine, and that it was even earlier for them then it was for me. This very thought made me giggle. I know I am a sick and evil person, I blame the lack of sleep and this darn cold that won't leave me alone.

Don't worry you can rest at ease knowing I didn't do it...you can thank me later family:) Is it wrong to get a giggle out of doing something like this?

The Last Thing I Need

If you know my family even in the slightest bit, you know that we love our hobbies. When it comes to hobbies and me, I definitely have more then my fair share and the last thing I need is a new one. Well, when you say you are not going to do something, you usually go out and do it. For me I wasn't going to get another hobby while in school. And well, as nature would have it, I went out and found a new one. What is this new hobby you ask? Cake Decorating. There is something relaxing about decorating a cake, it distracts me from my thoughts, my surroundings, and just life its self. Best part about this hobby, I can eat it. I normally don't eat my hobbies, I don't eat pottery or a quilt or a drawing, but cake? I will eat a cake. GREAT, not only did I get a hobby I didn't need, but I got a hobby that comes with calories I don't need on the hips.

I have always felt awkward when it comes to sharing the things I create with others, except for with my parents. My mom has been on my case lately about the lack of pictures telling me that the whole point of a blog is to post pictures[Did you get that Mayor? Blogs= more pictures:)]. Since this is a blog and it is my blog I guess I have no choice; I have to post some pictures of my work. Enjoy! Well... enjoy the best you can, I think you can imagine what two layers of chocolate cake with a layer of vanilla cake in between can taste like.





I still have a lot of practice a head of me. But that is the whole point of hobbies, right?
P.s. Don't feel bad, I didn't get to eat this one either.

This next picture is one we did quickly in class and had only a little bit of time to do it. The whole point of the exercise was to learn how to use edible paper.


I love Cookie Monster!!! He has always made me smile, I guess that is why I choose to use him, I was in need of a smile.

Oh dear, if my mom has it her way, I guess I have two new hobbies I don't need: cake decorating and blogging. More hobbies... that is the last thing I need.

Alive and well

And here are pictures to prove it.



When I get bored I play with my webcam. I am smiling because I just replenished my Pepsi/diet Pepsi stash...as you can see behind me:)

What I have been spending a lot of my time working on:


The pictures of my model are more for my parents, however I do need people's opinion: should I add flowers in with the groundcover?

Let the Count Down Begin

What are we counting down to? Didn't you know? I have exactly five weeks from today before I am to be flashed frozen in Idaho. It is a process that is normally done to fruits, meats, and vegetables when they are subject to really cold temperatures to help preserve them. Several months ago I thought it would be a good idea to perform an experiment to see if it was possible that this same process could be done to humans. It sounds a lot better to say that I am going away to a school in a town forty to fifty degrees colder then my home town in the name of science, then saying that I have simply lost my mind.

Here is to science, my sister would be so proud.

My Dam Job.

There is nothing quite like having a job where you can use the word "dam" all you want and not get in trouble. I made up this speech to go with my new job:

"Welcome to the Castaic dam. I will be your dam tour guide and would be happy to answer your dam questions after my dam speech. Once I have finished my dam speech you can give me your dam money and I will give you your dam ticket.

As you can see it is because of the dam that we are able to have this dam lagoon and the dam upper lake. Many people enjoy many activities at this dam location such as swimming with the dam fish, playing in the dam sand and throwing the dam rocks. People also like to fish here and we call these people the dam fishermen. We also have our beautiful dam picnic areas, the dam playground and the dam campgrounds.

Please use your dam map, follow the dam rules and read the dam signs. Please use caution in this dam environment and watch out for the dam wildlife... and no I am not referring to the damn children. If you have any dam question please come to the dam kiosk and see me, your dam tour guide. Please enjoy your dam stay. "

Come on you can't tell me that it wouldn't be fun to be able to say whatever you dam well pleased. All joking aside the job is going well, it pays the bills and pays for school, what more can you ask for.

I Don't Blog Often

So when I do blog it must be important......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YANNETTE!!!!

I love you. I hope You had a fabulous day.

This is Me Blogging

It has been forever since the last time I blogged. What can I say, the Mayor took all of the blogging genes. Actually there just hasn't been anything interesting in my life that has been blog worthy. Yes, my life is that boring.

If you know me even just a little or are my friend on facebook, then you would know that I am going to BYU Idaho this January. You can ask me what the h@*& possessed me to decide to go somewhere so cold, when my primary footwear is flip flops, but I couldn't give you an answer. Anyways back to the purpose of this blog, when I went a way to Hawaii I made a quilt for my dorm room bed, so now that I going away to school again and this time will need a quilt or two for my bed, I have started to piece my quilt for Idaho. My mom found the fabrics and I have to say I love them. The mayor might have taken all of the blogging genes but fortunately or unfortunately depending on who you ask, my mom has passed on enough decorating and crafting genes for all of us girls. With that said here is my latest project:



This is what it should look like when it is done. My mom and I have decided that we don't care for the brown border so we are going to try and find a coordinating fabric to make up the border and backing.

Next on the to do list is a pillowcase and coordinating decorative pillows:)
