You know there those people that everyone loves and more than 20 people consider them best friends. The ones that have 800 friends on facebook (actual friends because 800 people would ask to be their friend). The ones that get 80+ birthday wishes on facebook or in texts. The ones that get all the comments to everything they write. Those people that everyone wants to be around.

I am not one of those people.


I don't think I could handle all those relationships at once. My priority and what I am currently working on right now is the relationship with my family. They are the ones that I care about and where my energy and effort goes to. As they well know, even this energy and effort is rather weak and pathetic, but I'll never stop trying. Even they can hardly put up with me sometimes ;)

Dreams that continue...

A sad part of this life is that people come and go. I'm not simply talking about their physical bodies but their spirits. People die. That's reality. People mourn. That's healing. We see all the time of amazing people passing on. People with goals, vision and passion. So is the case with a young woman named Anabel Reid former student of ACU who passed on Nov 4 of last year. I did not know this young woman personally but have heard her story through my alma mater. We at ACU are a family and like so we stick together through the tough and thin. Her dream was to bring clean water to the world. A big problem facing our world today. I will not claim to know a lot about this or having a passion for it myself but I will say that it is an admiral dream. It is a dream that moves you. It is a dream that makes you admire a person. A dream that makes you mourn for a beautiful soul that was lost even though you yourself have never met them. ACU currently had a fundraiser to help her favorite charity, to carry off where she left off.  Her dream will certainly carry on. I believe she moved and touched enough people to want to do so. If not for the dream then for the girl. If not for the girl then for the dream.

I was moved by this and further questioning what I stand for and what I am doing to change this world for the better. What will people say and write about me if at this moment I too passed from this world. The truth to that would be not much. What people already know about me. Adventurous spirit. Indecisive nature. Follower of Christ. To add to this there needs to be a change in my life. I too want to change the world. I too am naive enough to believe that one person can do it.

It's hard out here for a pimp

So today in the kitchen my chef wanted to do a simple waffle podcast. It got a little out of control..
These pictures are the progression into perfecting a waffle tower!!
Before I post the pictures I feel I should disclose that every waffle is different....
They are and in no particular order:
Peanut butter and jelly
Pizza (cheese, marinara, salami)
Elvis (banana, peanut butter and bacon)
Beet and goat cheese (our barf factor)
Berries
White chocolate chip and caramel
Chicken and tabasco
M&M
Pancetta
Eggs, bacon and cheese

With two sheets of bacon drenched in brown sugar all covered with pancake syrup, whipped cream, and root beer syrup. Topped with vanilla, strawberry an chocolate ice cream and with a single maraschino cherry.



























































Then it gets it's own photo shoot!!!

DAMAGE!!!!!!!

This is What it Looked Like

Anyone up for a Harry Potter Marathon....:)

Agreed....

Snow White is making a comeback..

Not that I agree with this being the totally best thing ever. They're are 3 movies I can name off the top of my head right now that came out this year either in DVD or Theaters that are Snow White based.
Snow White and the Huntsman
Mirror Mirror
Grimm's Snow White
Let's not forget the TV Show.
Once Upon a Time.

I always did enjoy the remakes of Cinderella. Snow White not one of my favorites. I will look forward to a Sleeping Beauty remake or Peter Pan or Mulan (Two of my favorites). The Chinese movie Mulan is great! Some more remakes please! I can always settle with anything Arthurian Legend to appease my hunger of fairy tales. Which talking about that, I can't wait til the new season of Merlin starts!

Pum Pum Pum..... (Ok, don't judge me ) :D

A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river." With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

He sat down. The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: "Shall We Gather at the River."

Things I found funny on Facebook today....

How does.....

How does becoming an EMT sound? it only takes a couple weeks....

Joining the National Guard? To pay off my loans, but that's at least a 6 year commitment.....

Moving back home? Well, I haven't been back home since I was 17 and well my parents wouldn't live with my painted toenails much less piercings....and i'd probably have to have curfew, or rules......but could help me pay off my loans faster with no rent to pay.....probably have a miserable job.......

Moving to France or Italy? I'd have to have some money saved up and saving money right now is kind of hard.

Finishing my Physics bachelors? I'd have to take classes and work, and with the job I have right now, that is sort of impossible.

Staying at my current job? Best case scenario, but not if I want to ever finish my degree. Besides do I really want to work this hard and be a cook for the rest of my life. Uhmm....not so much.

Find me a rich husband? If only they were Christians, my age, shared some interests, hobbies....etc. etc. That would solve all my financial problems and I could be something like a housewife. Decorating, cooking... that sounds like fun. Heck I just described a guy I would be compatible with, rich or not, and apparently that one compatible person hasn't even come along yet, you can throw away the rich part.

Win the lottery? To do this you'd actually have to buy a lottery ticket. Which I have never done in my life. Probably never will.........

All possible scenario and choices that are facing me right now.

Also I spent a lot of money decorating this place. It'd be just a waste of money to leave. I know it's a trivial little small detail but when you are anal about these sort of stuff like me and you finally get it right. Well, it's hard to leave behind.

Help? Anybody? Please comment........

Idiots

We laugh WAY too much in the kitchen to call it work sometimes.

The new kid tried some of our food today. His comments were something like this:
"Oh dear, I have had sweetbreads but never like that."
"It was awesome."
"Completely incredible."
"You guys are the best cooks in the world!"

Okay that last one was me. :D

My reply to his comments of complete bliss and surprise was:
"I know we look like idiots and we fool around all the time but we know what we're doing."
"We get it done."
"Don't look so surprise."

HaHAha....... 

Favorite person

So I went to this gathering of coworkers today. There were people there I had never met before. It was nice and dandy. Had great food (thanks Tim). At the end of the night one of the new girls I had met gave me a huge hug and whispered (yes whispered) that I was their favorite person at the party but not to tell anyone. Granted. Thanks. Although I feel like I must disclose this person was highly intoxicated and highly high. Ok, maybe not the latter. I'm not too sure though. Needless to say, I still feel flattered. Even if the person was drunk and high, and I thought you were a complete weirdo (she's vegetarian!!!!)


 "Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words."


Even though I was not your holy holy religion pusher at this gathering ( I never am I very strongly believe actions speak louder than words) I did something right to have this person want to be a part of my life. With that, everything can change. 

"One soul is worth more than all the gold in the world."

Wrong side of the bed

So do you ever wake up and find your head where your feet should be? No....Yeah me either..........

Tap Shoes

I own a pair of tap shoes. I do sometimes take them out and tap on the floor.I pretend I know what I'm doing. Apparently it looks like I know what I'm doing because my roommate and others have commented. I don't. My experience with tap shoes goes as far as watching a few instructional videos on youtube, and even those were too boring to watch. I think I'll just tap away now. Cheerios.

Crazy

So as many as you know my step-dad, is a minister. With it come different responsibilities. One of them is to open our home to those who need it. There is a couple staying with my parents right now. They have been with them for a couple of months now and I have yet to meet them. I was talking to my sister on the phone the other day and she told me she was talking to them about me. The way she described me was being crazy and lively. My mother agreed enthusiastically. So now there are these strangers at home who believe I'm crazy. So what do you do when your family thinks your crazy? You live up to it......... :D :D :D Italy? France? Anyone? :D

I try and use chopsticks everytime I get

Tis', true. I do try and use chopsticks every time I get. I even have a slot for them in my silverware box. I blame it on my 1/4 Asian roommate, but they're really mine. I'm still horrible with them. Nonetheless I have not eaten a single meal today without them. Including RIGHT NOW......

Relationships.

I think I finally understand why my Alma Mater was such a marriage machine. Because you rarely find people with your intellectual capabilities and your belief foundations. You are reduced to a possibility of what is in your home church instead of the thousands of people the same age group and interest at ACU.

I know how this is completely logical.

It just never clicked with me.

I guess I'm at a point to where I am open for the possibilities of relationships. I was not before. I am not looking for a relationship just open to the possibilities of them. We all have to start somewhere.  This is my first stepping stone. Yes, friends who have known me a long time and have known my stubbornness against any sort of romantic relationship, be shocked. I only said I am no longer closed to the idea. That's something. I just have realized how null my possibilities are. That's okay because as I have always been patient in this area I will continue to be so. Someone will come into my life. Not in my own time but in God's. His plans for me are perfect. Although they might not always be easy.

Besides, I have always had someone in my life whom has given me the greatest love any human could ever hope to give. God. This girl couldn't ask for anything more. Nor would dare to. He will always be my first true love.

Toilet Paper

I hate it when I go to the store and I forget something at the checkout. Very rarely happens. Happened to me today with toilet paper. Not a good one to forget. Now I found myself in my pajamas finishing my last role and having to run out to Safeway to purchase some more! Ugh.... It's so cold outside.

Breathe Me

This one especially touches my heart:
Young man holding sign that says: "I believe im going to change the world someday (i'm going to do it too!)"
At one point in my life that was me. I still secretly want it to be me. I so badly want that to still be me. It is still me........

A girl moment

I am almost willing to go live with my parents, rent free, just so I can add to my closet! Shoes, dresses, etc etc. I know must sound so vain but a girl has her moments. Besides I did only say almost. :)
