My Cooking Abilities

Ok, I tried my cooking abilities tonight. We shall see if I kill anyone. I made cheesecake bars as Christmas presents to the teachers I work with. They don't look right to me, but I am no cheesecake expert. I hope they turn out alright, if not, I will know never to make snacks for Christmas presents ever again. Let's hope my cooking abilities are worthwhile for another day.

A Reminder

In high school, were you the one that got left out and didn't fit in with the other kids? Well, I definitely was! I didn't like high school at all. It all came down to money and popularity. I couldn't afford the newest, coolest clothes so I wasn't accepted by the majority. I can remember being so proud because my mom said I could get one pair of jeans from Brass Buckle. I thought, "Woo Hoo, I can be cool for once!" When I got to school, I was informed that a few other girls already had a pair of jeans just like those. So I was behind with the current trend again! I couldn't win for nothing. So after I graduated from high school, I swore that I could care less whether or not I saw my classmates ever again. I didn't go to my ten year class reunion, and I really considered going to the next class reunion. I am pretty sure that is a big no no now because I was reminded how superficial and mean my classmates can be. I figured I would extend the friendly branch to a few of my classmates. I tried to add a few to Myspace. One of my classmates accepted my invitation and I thought maybe I was making progress. Then, yesterday I found out she deleted me as a friend. Once again, that dagger was stabbed right in my back. I am back to my first philosophy, and that is I am me and I am not going to change for anyone! If that means, I never see my classmates again, so be it!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas is nearly here, and I will be honest and I don't know if I am ready for it. I have had a hard time this year getting in the Christmas spirit. I am trying really hard to be positive but have felt myself sliding backwards. That needs to change! I did watch my favorite Christmas movie, How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. For some reason, every time I watch that movie it helps me get motivated for Christmas. It is pretty scary that a ugly, green creature gets me motivated. But he does! I have found out the my mom's dog, Ciera, does not like the Grinch. She barked, growled, and lunged at the television every time she saw him on the TV. It was funny, never thought dogs actually watched television. So if anyone reads this blog, Happy Holidays to you and your family. Here is to a better 2008!
