Dull and Boring

I know it's been awhile, but it's only because nothing exciting or blog worthy has occured. School is out and I am interning with So Cal Edison which has been really fun. Other than that, not much is going on. My life has been boring and uneventful for the past month or so. Maybe I should google blog topics to come up with something....LOL!

I did it!!!!

As many of you probably know, I have not been able to make puffy, moist chocolate chip cookies. I have used different ingredient brands, I've beat the heck out of them, I've barely beat them at all, I've used crisco instead of butter, I have tried different temps for the oven, and lastly, I've used different recipes. NOTHING. Each batch would come out just as paper thin as the last. Don't get me wrong, they tasted okay, but they looked like crap!

Well, my cousins came down from Utah about a month ago and I informed them of my little problem and how embarrassing it is that I can't make a decent batch of cookies. Thanks to them, I can now do it. Above is a picture of the cookies that I just recently made all by myself. Look how puffy they are! And, they tasted wonderful. YAY....I did it!

10 of my favorite things that start with the letter "T"

I got this from my friend Kelly's blog. She gave me a letter and now I have to come up with 10 of my favorite things that all start with "T." This was fun, but a bit hard for me to think of things. If you want to do this too, leave me a comment and I will give you a letter.

1.)Talking- Though I seem a bit quiet, that is actually not the case. I love to talk even if it is just pointless chatter. I can seriously talk your ear off!

2.)Thursdays - This is my easiest day of the week. I am home early and I get to watch my favorite show, The Office

3.)Tuna Sandwiches - I really do like this tasty little sandwich. It is so delicious!

4.)Taking Naps - I seriously wish I could take a little nap every day. Sadly, Sunday is really the only day that I actually get to take them. They are oh so wonderful and super refreshing.

5.)Traveling - I love traveling. I really want to go to lots of places and see lots of things. I love to take at least one great trip every year.

6.)T.V. I actually probably watch too much. I have many favorite shows and enjoy watching t.v. to unwind and relax.

7.)Turtle Pie - The sweet chocolaty carmely goodness is delicious. I love carmel and I love chocolate making this a tasty treat!

8.)Thunder - I used to be slightly scared of thunder when I was younger, but now I look forward to thunder storms. I really wish we got more of them here in California.

9.)Tower of Terror - This is one of my favorite rides. It takes me by surprise every time! I absolutely must ride this one every time I go to California Adventure. I am so glad I have a pass again so I can ride it a lot!

10.)Tennis - Even though I completely suck, I love to play, or at least attempt to play. I actually think I do more running around to pick up the balls than I do actually hitting the ball back and forth. Oh well.....it's good exercise either way right?!?

Random Happenings

It's been awhile since I've posted, but that's only because my life, though busy, has been pretty uneventful. I am, however, so glad this week is over. Worked sucked and school double sucked. Two people were gone in my office on vacation this past week leaving just two of us in the office, and let me just say that people are RIDICULOUS!!! I literally had people telling me that I needed to leave the office to go do inspections for their clients.....excuse me!!!! People are so demanding, they don't ask, they demand.

Anyway....enough with work. School is annoying. I am so over going to school and doing homework. I had three essays due this week and had a teacher tell me that she is concerned over the number of absences I have. I have three...is that a lot?!? I think being concerned about that is a little over exaggerated! Also, I just found out this week that I may not be able to do my internship over the summer, which means that instead of being done with school in December, I won't be done until May of 2010...beautiful!!

Anyway, on a brighter note, this semester is almost done (4 weeks) and my cousins are coming down to go to Disneyland and Knotts. I can hardly wait!

As promised.....

.........here are the pics proving that I actually held and shot a gun! YAY!

What a Weekend....

This past weekend was lots of fun. A few of us from my ward decided to go camping/ shooting at Calico....in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere!!! We left Friday night and arrived, safely, after a few mishaps at around 11pm. Saturday we went shooting. SO FUN!! I had never shot a gun before, and I must say I had tons of fun. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of me shooting yet, but I do have some of the others. I will post mine when they become available.

Fun times had by all!!!!

This Little Beauty

I realize that my birthday was a week ago, however, I am just now posting about it. I have been sooooooo busy with work and school!!

Anyway, on my birthday, I went to the happiest place on earth....Disneyland! Because I have a pass, I didn't get a free ticket, but I did get a $69 gift card that is good for up to a year. OH YEAH! Also, I have heard so much about the carmel apples at Disneyland, but had never tried one.....I know......how sad, I have been to Disneyland several times and have never had a carmel apple. So anyway, being that my birthday is a special occasion, I had to get one. Isn't it so cute? It had carmel on the inside and chocolate on the outside and it tasted so delicious!

I truly had a great birthday! Thank you to those that made my day special!!!!
