So many things to do seem to take over my day…everyday. There is the homework/studying, chores, work, paperwork, helping friends, meals, events, errands, appointments, exercise, planning, phone calls, emails, and also the ever needed amount of sleep. How is it that we are supposed to keep up with such a schedule? I’m really not sure [...]
I once heard a coach give a closing speech at practice which has been among the most inspiring things I have reflected on lately. He told every one of his players, the ones who had been drug through 2 a days, the ones who had run and kicked and tackled and kept working through [...]
I absolutely love envelopes! Whenever I check the mail I finger through the stacks of papers, (ads, postcards, bills, galore) frantically searching to see if there is anything for me. I look and look over the course of about 3 seconds which feels like a suspense building eternity to see anything with my [...]
I love sunshine. It is like my favorite thing ever!!! I can go outside and get a tan soaking beneath the radiant rays of awesomeness.

Every time I go to McDonalds and get a hot fudge sundae I ration how much hot fudge sauce I can eat per bite of ice cream in order to have enough sauce for all the ice cream. Now this has been a very effective way to eat my sundaes because there is chocolate and [...]
Last week I talked about how much I talk. There is rarely a time when I don’t have something to say but as I was filming a video to put on YouTube yesterday I was at a loss for words. The pressure of the camera was enough to send the familiar disabling fear to my [...]
There is a song by Jack Johnson that often plays in my head taking about how things are “better when we’re together”. Though this song has more of a romantic tone to it, I like to apply just that line to any other person who matters to me. Most of the time when this song [...]
I really don’t know what I can say about cupcakes, except that they are yummy and cute at the same time. It is not very hard to frost a cupcake, even if you have never frosted anything before, because cupcakes are small and manageable, plus if it doesn’t look the greatest, it probably doesn’t matter [...]
