Winter???

I'm a little sad that we haven't had much snow yet, especially with it ALREADY being February. I don't want it to be snowy and cold until June like it was last year. The little amounts of snow we have had just don't stick around for long enough. Now, don't get me wrong, I HATE driving in the snow, but I kind of miss it. Another problem with only getting little amounts of snow is that in the afternoon when it melts it turns the dirt in my yard to mud, and this is what the Zildjin looks like

They aren't the best pictures because I took them through the window, but the paws and legs that are usually white get so covered in mud they turn black. She also likes to lay down outside and so her entire stomach gets caked in mud. These pictures are from the last snow storm, and even though we rinsed her off, she still has some mats of fur that are caked with mud on her belly. Such a silly puppy.

The Sunday Morning Blog

I am seriously considering changing the name of my blog to "The Sunday Morning Blog" because that's the only time I ever get a chance to update it. I probably shouldn't even be doing that right now. I woke up at 9 this morning and feel like I should have woke up earlier than that. Here's my "to do" list today:
* Homework (Blech! I have a Spanish midterm on Tuesday... I won't do too hot)
* Laundry!!!!!! (It could be worse)
* Dishes (Luckily there aren't too many)
* Make my "new food" for the last couple of weeks (Caramel apple cheesecake! DELICIOUS!)
* Finish my application for the School of Education (YIKES!!!!)
* Animal Sit (Gotta love when the cat and dog pick on each other)

It's finally October!!!!!! I have recently decided that fall is my favorite season and October is my favorite month of the year :)

Thursday this last week I went to dinner with an "old" friend. (I say old because we were friends in high school, not because we're old) It was nice to talk and catch up. I seriously needed some girl time and I really enjoyed it.

Hope everyone has an awesome week :) Fall break is coming up soon :) AND thanks to Columbus I get a day off from work in a weekish :)

Happy Days

It has been forever since I've been able to post anything :( and I don't really have a whole lot of time right now either. I'm staying very busy with school and work and our animals. 15 credits is something that I will never do, ever again. On a positive note, if things go according to plan (ha ha ha) I will be graduating Spring 2014. It seems forever, but it makes sense. I have two more years for just the regular elementary education courses and a year for my minor. I never thought it would have taken me six years to get my bachelors degree. Such is life though.

I have been making new things each week, and so far all but one had been delicious. Since I last posted I've made a chicken salad for sandwiches, a devils food cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting, and a Mexican casserole. 

This is the only picture that I was able to take. It doesn't look as pretty as it could have been because I was in a rush to put the frosting on it.

With sumer slowly turning into fall I have turned the air conditioning up and opened the windows. I guess it gets too hot for our animals because I walked in the house one day and Zildjin was sitting in front of the fan I had on.

Then yesterday I walked in the kitchen to find my kitty sleeping in a box of water that was on the table.

It was so adorable, I just had to take a picture :) She even started tearing the box apart.

That's the last three weeks in a nut shell. Enjoy the next few weeks :) We're going camping this upcoming weekend. Hopefully we don't freeze again.
