Lost!


Do you know what I would like? I would like to have just ONE week where I am not missing, have not lost or misplaced an important object. I tell ya what, I just can't keep track of things.


Last week it was my sketchbook. I was working on an Art project and I was done so I slid it in it's home, in an under-the- bed storage box, with the rest of my school supplies. I went back a couple days later to get it and it was GONE. I KNEW I hadn't got it out, but it had just vanished. I looked everywhere. In my car, under the bed. In my backpack, repeatedly hunted for this sketchbook. Finally, seven days later I looked under the scene of the kidnapping and looked up, there it was, my sketchbook looking like it was hiding from me, stuck in a support of the bed frame. I never looked UP when I looked under my bed, that was just not a logical option.

Well this week it is the same situation, different story and object. My student ID has decided to play a game of hide and seek with me. I am not a fan of this game. I just had it last week...although the exact day of the last sighting I am unsure of. I do know it was in the pocket of my favorite zip-up sweater. But the day I wore this sweater is under investigation. I don't know where the ID is but I do know where it is not:

Under my bed, under my couch, under my dresser, in my pocket, in my many coats pockets, in my underwear drawer, in my catch all box, in my makeup pouch, in my under-the-bed boxes, in my yarn bag, in my bed, in my backpack, in my jimmy...you get the picture.

This loss wouldn't be a huge deal but Senor Smarty Pants and I want to go to a play this week, as in tomorrow...and I don't have to buy a ticket if I have my ID. 

I am rather scattered lately. When I moved away from home I learned something about myself, I. Like. My. Stuff. I like my stuff around me. I try hard to be organized, I'm not messy or dirty, just scattered. My organization goes something like this: Shoes thrown in that box under the bed. Scarves hung in this general area. All comfy clothes, including pants and shirts in that drawer. Socks aren't always paired up. Everything is generally categorized, but not necessarily specific. That may shock some people. but I guess my stuff is where I let loose! 

But I wish wouldn't have been so loose with my student ID, I don't feel like taking another picture! Any ideas?

Thrift Store Finds...

 We have a Thrift Store in C-town. It's always packed full of stuff and sometimes you can find some really cool items! My mom is the Thrift Store Queen! She goes in there and finds the best deals, clothes and home accents alike. She can see something and instantly know where she can put it, what she could do it, and how she can use it. Well she also sometimes finds things for me...things that she knows that I will ooohh and awww over..."vintage" things. Last year I recived a package while at school. Inside, was the cutest vintage, light blue-green sweater, the sleeves come to my elbows, it ends at my waist and it has lace along the front, beside the buttons. But her latest find has me oohh-ing and aww-ing all over again.  


This is my new adorable apron! Its a party apron, made of tulle. It set her back a quarter, steal! Women used to wear these when they would be a hostess or serve cake or refreshments at a function. May not be the most practical but it's too adorable to not love. Anyone have a party they need me to serve cake or something? Not that I need an excuse to wear it. 

Between you and me, I randomly put it on and fluff out the tulle. 
This is me "hangin' by the oven" ridiculous, I know. 
My momma is the best:
1. She loves me.
2. She laughs with me
3. She knows me and what I enjoy.
4. She brings these things home to me.
5. She humors me and does these silly photo shoots for this blog.
( and acts like she doesn't mind)
6. There are many many more reasons why she is the best. 
This apron is one of my favorite things! Thanks momma and love you!

Genius...

I have seen this guy on a talk show before. He is a Genius, I believe. This stuff makes me even more passionate about Education. In one of my Education classes last year my teacher showed us so many different teaching techniques, ones that where hands on, outside of the box, engaging. I want to continue this cycle. I would highly suggest you watch more of Sir Ken Robinson's lectures. They are humorous and enlightening. Maybe you wont get as much enjoyment and have as much interest in them as I do, but just by being aware you can help our youth.

Another Season in the Books.

Well I really don't like that I even have to write this. (which is weird because I don't really get into the whole sports scene.) But C-town lost last night. 25-26. Ouch. We came out to play but just weren't ourselves for a bit and then when we did get the momentum rolling we just couldn't quite seal the deal. We led much of the 2nd half but an amazing play and pass by the other team gave them the led. Then we made a touchdown, but a block in the back, before the touchdown was made caused that touchdown to be revoked. And so the game ended badly, and I had to look at some 30 boys VERY upset. We just ran out of time, or it didn't move fast enough during certain points. 


I had no idea that I could get into a football game so much. I'm blaming Senor Smarty Pant's mom, she was all sorts of excited. She wasn't even cold because she couldn't sit still. She would get all excited and grab me and Senor Smarty Pants, she was yelling, it was fun! So she rubbed off on me and next thing I knew, I was yelling, squirming and pretty soon I couldn't sit down either. I even caught myself suddenly standing up and jumping in the stands during pretty plays and exciting happenings. (fyi-this happened more than once) My arms were doing pumps and all kinds of stuff. I had no idea I had it in me! It was a fun game to watch, I wish I had another to go to. I love football season. :)

Miss Muffin...Apple Pie!

No need to be confused! These are muffins made to taste like Apple Pie! My mom had some apple pie filling and I knew I could do something with it so onto Google I went. I was led to www.allrecipes.com. This place always has the answer. Now, the recipe I used called for just diced apples, not the actual filling, but I just made my apple slices from the can smaller and they worked wonderfully! They had a nice crumb topping too, my personal favorite to almost any recipe with one. Yum Yum Yum.! 

Blessings!

Dear UNK,

Last week you made me mad, very mad. Today you made me very mad again, but helped your case with the wonderfully kind and helpful women in the Parking Services Department. I am not even going to whine about my parking ticket, it was my fault, in fact, I forgot to transfer my parking sticker from the pickup to my Jimmy, now that we have a new transmission. But your two "Get Out of Jail Free" chances are a wonderful asset and the free temporary parking permit you gave me was much appreciated. I think I'm in love with Parking Services Department, but the rest of you...well you're still on my list. You could all take a lesson from those women. Especially you in the Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Leisure Studies Department, yeah you know who you are.

A Music Snack!

I have really random tastes in music. It's fairly broad. Today I decided to just post a bunch of my favorites, that I have been craving and listening to often while doing homework. Enjoy! :)



The Judds...classic! I love their sassiness. Just good lyrics and music all around!



Ok...Savage Garden...hey I like their music. Its something different.



Hewy Lewis and Gweneth Paltrow. Love Hewy, and this song.



I could not post these without posting something from Miss Colbie. I told a friend recently that I'm pretty sure she could sing the phonebook and I would love it, in fact I would probably put it on repeat. This a wonderful song of hers, probably one of my favorites.


Blessings!


P.S. C-town won their game last night. So on to the next playoff game we go, on Tuesday. Also, I did end up getting registered for classes and I rearranged my schedule and it looks better now actually...funny how God works. :)
