Did you say lawn care?

This year is almost over...total insanity. I really can't believe it. But, I also haven't put a whole lost of thought into it. I mean, years go by, blah blah. It is strange to think about how much things have changed over the last year and how different things were this time last year.

But I'm not complaining. 2011 was a fantastic year and I'm pretty sure 2012 is going to be EVEN BETTER.

Damn straight.

Anyway, I don't really feel like expanding on my inner thoughts and feelings on that subject, so moving right along. I think I might give my baking career another go. I mean, I got a new pan for Christmas as well as a super cute baking-esque ornament so I might as well, right? We'll see how this adventure goes tonight and I'll get back to you. I might attempt bread again next week when I have some time. We'll see. So far, things smell pretty good so I think I'll be ok. Although I did get a good bit of the ingredients on my clean shirt. Boo.

I've also been extremely crafty this week and I am quite proud of what I made. There is really nothing I love more than painting random things. Nothing is safe. I've been eyeballing my moms wooden cooking equipment but I learned my lesson about that sort of thing in middle school, so I'm going to control myself for now.

I am currently watching 'Home Improvement' and damn, it is just so good. Totally underrated in my opinion. You know who else is underrated? JIMMY FALLON! He's freaking hilarious and I don't care who knows it. Watch this and tell me otherwise:

Love love love.

 

Anyway. Last day at the ham store tomorrow. It's been lovely, but I've had just about all I can take. Also, it's making me fat. Can't have that.

 

I know I used to be interesting and funny, so I apologize for the horrible posts as of late. I am always so damn tired! I don't know what the problem is. Probably the ham.

 

Dream big people!

Merry Christmas to All,

And to all, a Good Night. :)

Had a great Christmas. It was missing someone, but everything was good. Got some good gifts, ate some fantastic food and the best part...it's not even over! Two Christmas dinners down, and I get another one tomorrow!

And finally, I get to watch Elf! Our DVD of it wouldn't work, bu now it's on TV so life is good.

I have been house/cat sitting for a woman the last few days and I have to say...cats are weird. Out of the five cats here, one has warmed up to me and I think we're best friends now. Although she has been a little aloof since I yelled at her for chewing on my computer cord. Sorry kitty, that is not food.

That's all that's interesting in my life. I have been super tired lately so if there was something better to write about, I can't summon the energy to piece together the words for sentences. I have to start exercising again...I think it will help things. Also, less bread. I went on a binge working at the ham store. No good.

The cats are being eerily quiet. I think it's time to check on them.

Dream big people!

Massive Fail

I figured out the secret to baking. It's patience.  Therefore, my career as a baker has come to an end. Sad, but true. I think it was just beginners luck with the first bread because since then, I have ruined 8 loaves of bread. So, so sad. I just can't recreate the magic of those first two perfect loaves. Booooo. I am going to try to read up on some bread making tips and see what I can do. Until then, I'm going to wallow in self-pity. I mean, the whole reason I like to baking it is to bask in the glory of praise when I make it beautiful. Now it's all ugly and I feel like a total failure.

In some more baking news, I've found that cookie decorating is not quite as easy or as fun as I always think it's going to be. Again, with the patience problems. It's super aggravating to roll them out and cut, I can't ever seem to get them shaped properly,  I don't want to wait on them to cool, and the frosting doesn't ever do what I want it to. It's a big huge stupid mess and someone needs to remind me of that next time I get to thinking holiday baking is a good idea. I also wanted to attempt a caramel cake, but that has been put on hold until my baking confidence has come back up.

Other than my failures in the kitchen, things are going pretty well. I am enjoying my time at the ham store, my car is cruising right along and I freaking love the holidays. Watched 'Love Actually' tonight and my love for it has been renewed. I never stopped loving it, it has just been awhile. We hate Uncle Jaime!

Ok, nothing else interesting to report. I'm tired, later dudes.

Dream big people!

Carrying Your Love With Me

That's the song I'm listening to at the moment. George Strait. I love me some old school country music. Also, I am all out of creative juices and can't think of clever titlyes any more. Especially since I don't have anything remotely clever to write about anymore.

Anyway, learned some things this weekend. 1. People are not really interested in taking shots at grown up Christmas parties. Which, really, is such a shame. I went to my first ugly Christmas sweater party and while it was a good time, my peppermint patty shots were largely ignored and I could only talk 2 people into taking one. Losers. 2. I am not as good with kids as I orginally thought. Rethincking my stint in Korea. 3. Converse do not keep your feet warm. I went to the Christmas parade and litereally could not feel my feet for a good hour. The parade was fantastic, with fireworks and all kinds of goodies, but that was a teensy bit miserable. But lesson learned. 4. More people dislike Jimmy Fallon than I thought. Too bad for them. I don't know why everyone has to hate but I am super stoked about him hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. I do not care if he laughs the whole way through.

I'm sure there were other things but I don't remember them at this moment. I am currently getting ready to leave for my holiday stint at the ham store and am very impressed that I had the time to shower, eat and write this post all before even going to work! I RULE!

And now I have to sell the ham to the people. I love the holidays!

Dream big people!

Hey Baby Jesus, you wanna do pilates?

I don't care what anyone says, I think SNL is funny these days. I also think Jimmy Fallon is hilarious and anyone that doesn't agree can shut up. I love at the end of SNL when everyone hugs...I want to be a part of that someday. That is the real reason I want to be famous, so I can host SNL. I don't think they generally let nonfamous goobers like myself host for no reason. Who knows, maybe things will change in the future.

Anyway, I don't really have anything to say other than YAY, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!!! I had a very fantastically Christmasy weekend. Went to a bonfire, decorated the house, went to a Christmas party and listened to a shit ton of Christmas music. I literally never tire of listening to Christmas music.

For other music news, I am currently obsessed with Beyonce's "Countdown." I am becoming a bigger Beyonce fan that I thought. I have also been jamming out to "Ni***a's in Paris." Guess I'm a big Kanye fan as well because I'm also still obsessed with "All of the Lights." That shit cray. I love my new car, but it doesn't currently have a way for me to play music from my ipod or phone so I can't play them in the car which is my favorite but I rock out at home. But it's ok, the radio in Charleston is really good! I am just constantly switching back and forth between stations because I can't handle boring music or commercials. Other than that, no complaints about the new car...it's super cute!

In other less interesting news, I have somehow been both productive and unbelievably lazy these last few days. I haven't really left the house or done anything fun but I am kind of getting things done. Very small things. Car tags, got insurance, fixed my resume, downloaded some music, other stupid shit. And these next few weeks I'll be making some money helping my dad out and moonlighting at the ham store. Actually, the opposite of moonlighting because it's in the morning, but I think moonlighting is a cool word.

Now for some personal news. Nothing exciting, I just wanted to say I am very happy I decided to come home. Every day I'm a little more at peace with my decision. I miss my great LA friends and other random things sometimes (like Twist and In-N-Out and the PCH) but nothing beats the holidays at home. I've been sleeping better, I got some super cute new clothes (thanks Mom!), I've been reunited with my favorite sleep shirt, I discovered my talent as a baker and I am also excited about the possibilities next year holds. The only problem is the diet. I have gone completly off the rails and it is damn near impossible to get back on track with all the Christmas goodies. However, I'm very happy about a certain someone and a possible trip to SC. Nothing is set in stone but it's knowing it's a possibility has soothed my crazy runaway thoughts.

That's it. I'm boring and I'm ok with it for now. Christmas is exciting enough, I don't need to get crazy too.

Dream big people!
