First Dessert Night

This is the beginning of a new tradition. We actually decided to start our desert/craft club. On our first night we decided to make chocolate chip scones and hot caramel apple cider. It was a lovely fall night and everything was delicious. We didn't take pictures but I will do better next week.

Just throwing it out there

I have some ideas for some get togethers. This is for my own good so that I remember. I want to do a "make something new" night. Where a each week a group gets together and learns to make a drink, dish or a dessert. I like the drink called a tequila sunrise naturally, it would be minus the alcohol. I want to increase my skills in the kitchen.

I also want to do a craft night where a small group gets to learn a new crafty skill. I want to learn how to make beanies and other cute things.

On a side note, I got these rad John Deere fruit snacks. They are in the shape of a tractor, farm house, sun and even a cute little pig AND they taste good. Man my life is good.

Snicker Salad

I love snicker salad! It's quick and easy. It surely doesn't look pretty but it tastes delicious!
Here's the recipe:

Snicker Salad
1 (12 0z) tub of cool whip --I usually use the fat free kind
6 Granny Smith apples
2 cups milk
2 (3.4 0z) boxes vanilla pudding
6 regular snickers

First cut up the snickers and apples into bit size pieces. Pour milk into a large bowl and then stir in vanilla pudding until mixed well. Add the cool whip. Then add the apples and snickers. Stir all ingredients until mixed up nicely. Chill for one hour before serving.

Goals

So apparently I need life goals. What's this about? They never taught that stuff in college. Weird.

Just Spit it Out!

Okay here I go!

"Hi Reid,

It's Melissa...

Um...I like when you wear your glasses. (What I really want to say is, I think you are a good catch and really good looking)

The end...K Bye!"

Why is it so darn hard to say what you mean? I would really say that stuff! I totally sympathize with ya Reid. So call me!

Little Tidbits

1. I have commitment issues
For example, I can't sign a 1 year lease because I don't know if I will want to be there for a WHOLE year! AHHH! If I can't commit to a lease how am I ever going to be able to commit to a man! Yikes, I am in deep trouble.
2. I am socially clumsy
3. I admit that I enjoy to face-stalk. I have no excuse I just love it!

Question of the Day: Are _______ real?

I have been teaching 1t grade this whole week and have got some great questions thrown my way. This class is pretty well behaved but they have a hard time following/listening to directions so I explain it completely then I say, "Does anyone have any questions?" (I figure that they know I am asking them about the assignment--wrong) Here are some of the questions I have got:
~ Are owls real?
-yes
~ Are snakes real?
- yes
~ Are dinosaurs real?
- yes but they are extinct--which means that they aren't on earth anymore.
- "Are they in heaven?" (What do I say about that!!)
- Ummm, if that is what you believe then YES. (Apparently someone's been watching too much All Dogs Go To Heaven!)
~ Mia is going like this (as she sticks her tongue out) to me!
- Um is that a question?

It indeed has been a tiresome week. Tattling is ever present. Boogers are still a delicacy. Crawling around on the floor is a norm. Licking glue is still appealing to some. The upside to this whole thing is that one lone skittle has the power of an army. Let me explain. Skittles are for kids that are quick and quiet. If every one is loud and rowdy on the carpet all I have to do is whip out the Skittles and give one to the student that is sitting quietly.

If you want a taste of my life with a few laughs watch this clip. Love it! (Thanks Meagan!)
