Arrivederci Texas!

Ciao Italia!

Sweet potatoes and Sprouts

I grew up not liking sweet potatoes. Why? probably because I loved regular potatoes above most things in the world. But can you blame me? The french fries in switzerland were out of this world. Like they just belong on a whole different level than stupid american french fires. But I always would eat a few bites and be like ehhh, I'm done. My mom would have to make 3 sweet potatoes for dinner and one regular. Way to be awesome mom! If I knew people put marshmallows on sweet potatoes, it might have leveled the potato playing field for me. Of coarse the marshmallow to sweet potato ratio would be large, but I would at least have eaten them. I have to confess I did not people put marshmallows on sweet potatoes until I came to Texas. =)
But I just started forcing myself to eat them more and more, because I knew they were good for me. Finally now I LOVE them!


Sprouts.

I am not super crazy about the taste, but i like the texture and think its fun to eat weeds. =)
I am forcing myself to like them, just like sweet potatoes

Fantastic weekend

My weekend was busy with, work, homework, errands, chores, and socializing.
It was fantastic though! Nothing to worry about it.
I got to go on a fun date with boyfriend skating and laser tagging, and to dinner.
I had 2 meals outside with friends. Very Very fun. I made Hilary and Jerry breakfast saturday, we ate it outside in our little patio. Sunday Jerry made us dinner, and we ate it outside in his backyard.

time flys

Most days seems to go by in a haze. I am usually very busy with class, work, homework, chores, working out, etc. Usually even the weekend days go by quickly, on the rare occasion that I have not a lot to do, they still seem to fly by. Thankfully today crept by, nice and slow. I kept looking at the time thinking it was 3 or 4 hours ahead of where it actually was. I was up a little before seven, and now I am in bed exhausted from a long long long day.

by candlelight

I have NEVER really been the one to do homework on a Friday or Saturday night. If I don't have plans, I find some. If I stay in, I have boyfriend over or break out my talent of movie watching. Yes, I have made this into a talent.

But Friday night I found myself wanting to get my graphic design project out of the way. To make it fun, I did it by candlelight. Buddy seemed to enjoy having me all to her self. She could not stop licking my feet. She set up shop laying next to me and licked me when she had the urge to show she loved me.

my stinkers.
