Battle of the Orange...


The stage was set.  In the background, a dramatic Tchaikovsky song was playing and skype was making noises, calling for my attention.  I held my flimsy plastic knife and stared down the orange. It couldn't be that difficult right?  After all, Grandma always make it look so easy.  Yeah, ten minutes later I was realizing just how difficult this could be.  My beautifully clean sink area of yesterday now had sticky orange juice everywhere!  Junior was happy though, feeling well-fed and that's what mattered!  I had won the battle, but now had a lot of cleaning up to do.

Crazy Break...

This spring break has been a little different than normal, very crazy.  There was the day that Amy, Bethany and I spent scheming about different things to do to Ian (Bet had the best one).  There was the day that Ian, Caleb, Brandon, Amy Bethany and I all hung out here and made 144 cupcakes.  There was the day I got to meet Ian's family (very fun).  There was the day I took Amy's senior pictures outside in the freezing cold.  There were errands to run, places to go, people to see and hanging out to do.  In between, I took naps and read a few books.  It's been a whirlwind of a break, but I have enjoyed every minute of it.  Tomorrow I will return to CSM to do homework and have a short break from my break.  Soon my next round of tests will start and then all I have left is finals!  Time is flying all too quickly...

Spring Break!

After staying up until 4am dealing with crazy residents, I am now home an officially on spring break.  My is it nice!  I am looking forward to relaxing, hanging out with my family and making cupcakes!  Sleep, sleep is good too.

A Crazy Day!

Yesterday I went with out with five other people who did Singled Out last week.  We had around 25 dollars per person to spend, so we decided to make the best use of it.  We all first went to Mimi's for lunch, which was nice, and then glow-in-the-dark mini golf.  Haz (one of the other female RAs) and I kept things lighthearted by being so bad and playing it up.  I definitely hit people more than I ever hit it in the hole.  Afterward, we all headed to Cold Stone.  It was a ton of fun!  Haz and I agree, we never thought when we were voluntold for Singled Out that it would actually be that much fun.  After we finally got back, I had about an hour to myself before Devyn came over to get ready.  A few of us were going to the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.  I ambushed her with a water gun to get her back for a prank she played recently.  The fun part was that she was on the phone, so she couldn't get away!  The CSO was playing music from several of the great Russian composers, which was amazing.  Getting there, well, everything that could go wrong, definitely tried to.  I had so much fun though!  The night was incredible, like a fairy tale.  I came back to reality really fast though, when I got back to Weaver and walked into a prank.  That one I got to deal with until 7:30 this morning.  Oh well, the magic of the night still far surpassed the annoyance of the prank!
