Thanksgiving Memories...

The holidays are all about making memories, right? Well that is what I set out to do yesterday! First off, some friends and I started a new tradition of running in the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. It's a 4 mile run/walk put on by the United Way Chairity group. I had a lot of fun, it was a great way to start the day! Hopefully we will continue to do it each year. After the race we all parted ways to our seperate Thanksgiving day festivities.

The second memory of the day was my attempt at making my first apple pie. What a kick. For some reason I had it in my head, that this would be a simple task...but have no fear I found a way to make it complicated! Essentially the process was simple aside from the pesky crust. After several failed attempts of getting the dough to stick together and roll out in somewhat of a circle I managed to get 75% of the crust off at one time and I figured that was going to have to work! The moral of the story...use lots of flour on the cutting board, and be patient. After a good laugh with my mom, we decided that I would have pie crust making lessons when I'm home for Christmas! The one success story is that despite the looks, the pie tasted fantastic!

The evil dough and flour...

The Finished Product...(Keep in mind this was after running!)What a mess...$5.99 at Safeway is sounding pretty good about now.
Haha...the close up really does the crust justice. The patch jobs were quite humourous to me!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Turkey Day!

Trying something new!

So Windows Vista is pretty snazzy, and you can now type your blog posts in Word and have them published to your Blogger account. I have yet to try it, but thought I would give it a whirl. So far I really don't quite see the advantages…but I imagine there is still a lot to be learned.

Yeah...it's no different. I did some simple formatting and none of it showed up...kind of lame. Oh well. I guess if you don't have an internet connection you can still blog. Maybe that is the benefit!

So exciting news...27 Days & Counting!

Things finally seem to be winding down and coming to an end. This is incredibly exciting, but is bringing up some of the tough questions. I am again battling with the question of whether or not I should stay in Co or go to Ca. I thought I had made my decision, and now I'm just not sure. I feel like I'm choosing between gold and gold. How do you judge two good things against one another? I don't know. I guess I need to go back to my original idea...don't worry about it yet! Sometimes my anal tendencies come out. I like to pretend that I've got everything all figured out and when I don't...my brains come unraveled. Sigh...

Excuse me Senioritis...Now that we've met, can I please excuse myself?

O.k, so it's gotten to the time of the semester where I am literally praying for sanity and motivation to finish out this last month! Thank goodness for faith and having something to believe in! I am in the final stretch of the semester and my motivation to make time for anything remotely related to school is at an all time low. My graduation announcements are out, people have scheduled their flights, I've got my cap and gown and commemorative tassel. Isn't it time to walk the plank, I mean the stage?

"No," you say. "Despite your daily and often hourly reminders that there is still much to be done, you continue to ignore the fact that you still have a giant research proposal to finish, a training handbook to create for my internship and final exams to complete!"

Sigh...I'm having conversational dialogues with myself...that can't be good.

More updates to come, please excuse my ranting!
