I especially agree with #s three, four, seven, eleven.

And nine, you read my mind, whoever let me sign up for Calculus II and Physics II during the summer should be punished.

Thinking...

I've had lots to think about these last couple of weeks.

A lot of decisions to make.

Trying to figure out what I am going to do with my life.

I think I may just join the circus.

Apologies, accidents, and appreciation

I'd like to start by apolgizing about the lack of a cupcake post this past week.
I did make cupcakes, and they were delicious (my mom's favorite so far).
I've just been lazy, and haven't felt like writing about them (but if you ever make "plain vanilla" cupcakes, add coarse salt).

I'm sitting here in the library at school, during my enormus (3 hour) break between classes, taking a break from school work.

I don't really know what to write about... we had a beautiful snow this past weekend (as did most of the south), I however didn't get to enjoy too very much of it...

You see, I'm a relativly clumsy person by nature, but this year I was sure I would aviod injuring myself with the help of my super-grippy rain boots and, because, well, I'm 20 years old, surely I can enjoy some snow play without seriously injuring or maiming myself.

Then I went sledding.

In a misguided attempt to "seize the day" I hopped on the fastest sled avaiable and set off down a hill... through the woods... that ended in a creek.

Not surprisingly I hit a (very solid) tree, foot-first (I think I was trying to shield the rest of my body?).

Which is why I've had to spend the last few days hobbling about or propping my nicely bruised foot up, until yesterday when I emerged for an earth history test.

While none of this experience has been particularly fun, it has made me appreciate how much of a blessing being able to walk is. And how marvelous it is that we can twist, sprain, break, lacerate, or mangle oursleves up and our bodies can heal themselves! How amazing is God that he made our bodies little hospitals for mending our cuts and bruses?
Just some thoughts.

P.S. I will put pictures of the cupcakes up (although it may be with this weeks cupcake post).

Musings on a Thursday afternoon

I think we are entering another baby boom.  it seems as though half the people i know are pregnant or recently had a baby, or are getting married (which, in my book, is one step closer to procreation).

and then there's me, who seems to be lagging behind. while my peers are off planning weddings and decorating nurseries, here i sit feeling very much like the younger sister who gets left at home while everyone else goes out to the movies.

don't get me wrong, i'm not at all looking to have a child (at any point in the near future) and i'm content with my single status too, i just wish everyone else would slow down.

i realize that last statement sounded very selfish, it just boggles my mind that people my age are out doing such grown up things. when did we all become such adults?

i did get a letter from aarp the other day...maybe it was a sign.
