Rest in Peace

RIP Uncle Kelly,

I'm not sure what to say, you were gone for most of my life so i cant exactly say im going to miss you, or what it is that i would miss about you. I don't have many memories of you but i have to say, the ones i have are sweet.

I would like to say I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you didn't feel the need to be a part of our family for all those years. I'm sorry that you felt you had to hide your son from us. I know he would have liked to grow up with us.

I know you are not in pain anymore and for that i am grateful.

I wish i could have really known you.

Rest In Peace.

tahh tahh

Free time and pretty dresses.

2010-02-27T13:51:00.000-08:00

So, when its blizzard-ing outside, there isnt much to do.
So you gotta be creative.
Spending like an hour trying to balance your camera on the edge of your draw and then getting all dressed up and taking pictures tends to kill some time.

:D.

Think of things to do when you're shut in?

let me know.

heaven on toast

2010-02-14T09:22:00.000-08:00

So,

Happy needless targeting single people day!

whoooo!

:]

Another single friend of mine and i are going to hang out, bake a cake, watch movie and eat loads of chocolate :D

Hope you have a fabulous valentines!!

Oh Dusty...

2010-02-06T12:14:00.000-08:00

Now, this dog, is ADORABLE.
Problem is, hes not our dog, he lives at the house next to ours but he stays on our porch the majority of the time. He refuses to go home, even when it blizzard-ing outside.
One day the neighbors weren't home and it was snowing, hard, so we let him sit in the entry way of out house and i think he still remembers that and is ever so hopeful that we will let him in again.
Dusty is an attention hog, hardcore. If you go near another dog to pet them, he will nuzzle his way between you and this other dog. If you are standing or sitting next to him, he will ever so quickly stick his head near you, doesn't matter where, your leg, your arm, and he will lick you, just one lick, then he looks away. Its rather hilarious.
He and Sammy, (our dog) will frolic about the forest and at the end of the day, he thinks he can come into our house with Sammy.

No Dusty, I say NO, we will not let you in!

But awh....its snowing and its so cold out......

Snowshoeing?

2010-01-31T16:03:00.000-08:00

"I rented snow-shoes" Dad said after he got home today.
Uhm, alright, you don't hear that every day. Of course, being the 15 year old teenage girl i am, the thought of snowshoeing around a mountain didn't really thrill me.
To my surprise, it was rather fun!! :D
Of course, i kept stepping on my own snowshoes and almost fell like 45 times, but none the less. it was fun.
I have no idea what the large towers behind us do, but i guess they are important, so, we took a picture.
:]

snowshoeing=fun.

Hopeful

2010-01-26T16:06:00.000-08:00

So, it was snowing for a bit. Hard, blizzard status snow. so, of course Melissa(twin sister) and i ran out and took pictures :].

cross your fingers for another snow-day!

Hollandaise!

2010-01-24T15:22:00.000-08:00

I have just discovered hollandaise sauce!
I made it for the first time about 45 minutes ago :].
Over veggies, eggs, anything! Its, delicious!!!
This has just made my day.

Souper!

2010-01-24T09:13:00.000-08:00

Combine zucchini, onion, garlic, tomatoes, beans, carrots, pasta, oregano, tomato paste, veggie broth and red wine and what do you have?
You have one of the tastiest soups ever made.
The broth alone would make a fabulous soup.
Of course when i asked my mother if i could use open a bottle of red wine she was rather confused until i explained what it was for. :]. I ate most of this soup by myself.
Soup is so perfect when its cold and snowy outside..

Worlds Best Egg Salad

2010-01-24T08:57:00.000-08:00

So, this is a sandwich. But this isn't just any sandwich.
This is a sandwich that would please the gods. Egg salad with three kinds of mustard, extra sharp cheddar cheese and thinly sliced plum tomatoes on toasted bread.

By far one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten.

Egg pie?

2010-01-23T10:32:00.001-08:00

I have to say, when i first heard of a quiche, i was rather turned off. An egg pie? that sounds ridiculous, then one day i found a recipe for quiche in my moms big red cookbook, i made it. After making a few, i was hooked, these egg pies are addicting.
I started making crust-less quiches, mini-quiches and crust-less mini quiches! Ive been making quiches ever since.
This quiche on the left has carrots, spinach and lots of cheese, it just happens to be one of my favorites :].

Another Snowday

2010-01-22T10:51:00.000-08:00

So, its January 22, 2009 and it is yet, another snowday. We have, i would say about 2 1/2 - 3 feet of snow and its 31 degrees outside. Yesterday was a snowday as well. Which means since we had Monday off of school and we had a snowday yesterday that we had a 2 day school week :]. Which i mighty fine by me.
Yesterday i had the urge to take pictures, so i ran outside with my camera in its waterproof case(which i got for x-mas, thanks Santa) so it wouldn't get wet and took pictures :](one if which is above). Since i am sort of trapped in this house, i have been trying to occupy me time with various activities such as, sitting around, sitting on the computer, lying on the couch and counting the lines on the ceiling and other exciting activities. I have also been cooking a lot. I made fabulous mashed potatoes, a frittata(shown below) and an egg salad sandwich to die for.
Of course i get out there and shovel every once and a while, but this morning was a very disappointing day for shoveling. I just shoveled the snow berm in front of our driveway and was heading back inside when the plow comes by and piles about 2 feet of snow onto where i had just shoveled. If you have not experienced this, it makes you want to cry.
It is supposed to snow through tomorrow, so, since the snow blower is temporarily out of service and my father is not home, we wont be going anywhere for a while.
I am off to go re-count the lines on my ceiling.
I hope your day is as exciting as mine.
Bye!

Zucchini, carrot and tomato frittata

2010-01-22T10:13:00.000-08:00

I apologize for not blogging for such a long time.

Anyway, i have decided that i am going to start blogging some of the dishes that i make.

This is a zucchini, carrot and tomato frittata.
I must say it was pretty tasty, i went easy on the garlic though (which i shouldn't have). But, with a bit of salt it was yummy. Next time i shall add more seasoning to the egg base :].

uhm, winter.

2009-12-08T15:55:00.000-08:00

It's 31.8 degrees outside.
Today is the 2nd snowday in a row up here.
Yesterday the power was out for about 10 hours, it was freezing!
Another storm is supposed to come on thursday and go through the weekend. If that forcast is correct, we probably wont have school the following Monday.

That is all cool with me

:]

Fires

2009-08-30T11:37:00.000-07:00

Its fire season again,
it seems that all the fire all pop up at once.
I hope we don't get evacuated this year..
The wind has shifted and it is blowing smoke from 2 fires towards us.
Fun right?
no.
This means no tennis practice.
=(

Excited!

2009-08-13T13:32:00.000-07:00

So,
I am going to a wedding tomorrow.
I love weddings!
YAY!

Letter to the Editor

2009-08-06T21:04:00.000-07:00

Dear fashion industry,

You think this is attractive?
Come on now. you have girls thinking being unhealthy and weak is attractive. These women, they arent happy, they are starved and Manipulated. The image of "beautiful" has been driven to an image of a woman who is unrealistic and young girls are paying for it.Dont you think happy, toned girls are more attractive?
I personally think you are extremely unreasonable and manipulative. Many super models can barely hold themselves up because they have no muscle because muscle would be ugly and would make them not as thin. I am all for showing off clothes.
i love clothes, i wear them every day. you might want to try making them in realistic sizes and shapes for the general public.
i know the general public could stand to lose a few pounds but we arent all supposed to be a size XS
i know i am not fat but i also know i will never be as thin as a supermodel and i have no desire to be that thin. it looks unhealthy and at times unattractive.

I believe attractive girls are the ones who are happy with their lives, the ones who stand up for morals and are confident in themselves. Girls who arent afraid of stereotypes and who look at themselves in the mirror and say "wow! i like my clothes today! :)" as apposed to "wow im so fat!"

Dont aim to fit the image of "beautiful"

seriously?

2009-08-06T13:23:00.001-07:00

One day i was at the beach with my friend Megan and her family.

Megan and i were boogie boarding and we came up to the umbrella to eat our formerly packed lunches opened my bag and got out my bag of bread to make my sandwich and there was a hole in it!!!

A chipmunk had eaten my bread!!! How rude!

later that day that chipmunk also stole a huge peanut butter cookie!!!

that ticked me off.

First blog!
