Christmas Time

Since I have my own place this year I decided I needed a Christmas tree! Its 's nothing like my mom's tree but I love it!

Addicted!

So I should be writing a paper but instead I am bundled up in my FREEZING apartment and thought I would update my blog!

Pumpkin Spice Whoopies

These were posted on this little blog. I couldn't wait to try them because let's be honest Pumpkin and Cream Cheese were meant for each other! They di

d not disappoint. I have made them 4 times for different things and haven't met anyone yet that doesn't love them! Give them a try!

These are my next attempt. My cute friend Jennie brought them to work and they were Fantastic! No wonder people gain so much weight during the holidays! Yummy!

Recipe Found here!

White Screen of Death

Have you ever seen this screen on your iPod? I have. I saw this screen right after I flung my iPod across the room at the gym. I was 3 min into my workout and this was very upsetting. It was a LONG and PAINFUL 27 min!

However it was more upsetting when I realized that this screen should have said "You're Screwed" or "You are shit out of luck!" My iPod is broken! I shook its brain loose!

I am so mad at Apple for giving me false hope that I'll I have to do is plug it is and it will be fixed..... SIKE!

I'll get over it I am sure... like right after I get a new one! Maybe a touch????

Catch Up: Halloween

So these pictures are only a month late but Jessica threw Graham a birthday/Halloween party. It was amazing as usual! Jess really out did herself! We had such a blast dressing up!

Happy Birthday Cookie Face!

And This Is Where I Found Them!

According to my mother I live in the GHETTO. I could be murdered at any moment and people are lurking outside my door all the time. Considering my keys were left in the door all night long in the "GHETTO" and I wasn't murdered and my car wasn't stolen I think I am safe.... or lucky! Either way I am grateful!

P.S. Please don't tell Mama Jan!

Desert Island Movies

I love movies! One of my favorite things to do is curl up with popcorn and a cute boy (if ones around, but that is a different post!) and watch a movie! I started to think about the movies I would take with me if I was going to be stranded on a Desert Island. I couldn't narrow it down to less then 10!

I want to be just like Kathleen Kelly and own a children's bookstore!

I grew up watching this movie! I love Bill Pullman!

Hugh Grant? No need to say more!

Jack Black and Jude Law are adorable!

Don't Judge... Kevin Costner is a Babe!

This movie is hilarious!

Who couldn't use some relationship advice!

Pretty much sums up my life right now!

Kevin Costner + Baseball = AMAZING!

I am counting these as 1 but they are both funny! Collin Firth is yummy!

Marathon... or NOT

In case you didn't know I have been training to run, yes run, the Portland marathon since February. I started training when it was snowy and cold. Waking up at 6 am on Saturday's getting my miles in and then skiing the day away! I was tired but I loved it. Then I trained through the hot summer sometimes waking up at 4:30 am to beat the heat. I started lifting weights with a trainer because I wanted to run this race and run it well. I went to Disneyland and ran the half to prepare. I did the 14 miler and almost died. But I kept going. I did the 16, 18, and 20 milers and was READY! Ready to be done!

Well I never got to Portland. God said No. AGAIN. I had emergency surgery instead. On the of day my marathon I was in bed watching General Conference and following my friends running the race online waiting for them to finish my race and they did!

In case you forgot this is not the first time this has happened to me. I trained for the 2007 Nike Women's Marathon and sprained my ankles 10 days before. I finally did the 2008 Nike Women's after I re-trained. So I am 1 for 3. Not great stats. It is because of these low stats I have decided to retire. I am clearly not destined to be a runner, at least not long distance. I may run a few halves but never a full. Now even though I seem to have a bit of bad luck another huge reason for my retirement is that I don't really like to run. It is hard, time consuming, and my body doesn't like it. So farewell long distance running! I don't think I will miss you!
