MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! A Collection of What is Going On in My Life

Well I know you all are wondering why I am posting at 1 p.m. but here is the low down. I had the WORST 24 hour flu bug I have ever had! That is why I am not at school cause I don't think that they would appreciate me coming and getting them sick. No matter how much they love me;). So watch out, and don't worry, I didn't hold any babies yesterday at the baby blessing. Oh and I found out that I am allergic to Eggs.... shocker to me since I love eggs... its kinda sad. 

I threw up at least 5 times last night and man I wanted someone to just shoot me and get it over with. Again... Watch out. :(.

Okay, enough with the bad things and in with the new:

To start off, I have decided to give away something that I corner the market on for a Christmas Present for all those that I wont be able to give one too. ( I know that was a run on sentence.)

Lucky You! You get my beloved Apple Cake Recipe! 

So here it is:

2 Cups Sugar

1/2 Cup Butter

2 Eggs

2 Cups Flour

2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg

4 Cups Shredded Apples (Processor works great!)

1/2 Cups Raisins (Optional but I strongly suggest it)

1 Cup Nuts (Optional)

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

 

Combine like you would a cake & bake in greased 9x13 pan at 350˚ for 30-45 Minutes.

 

Sauce:

1 Cup Butter

2 Cups Sugar

1/2 Cup Evaporated Milk

1/2 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 Teaspoon Vanilla 

Heat all but Vanilla on stove top for 10-15 minutes. Make sure it doesn't boil. Stir constantly till thickens. Add vanilla.

Do Not Boil!

Pour over individual pieces.

And Enjoy!!!! 

This is by far my favorite cake that I have ever had and if you know me well, I am not a cake person. If you have any questions please call me. 801-294-7557.

Another exciting thing that is happening in my life is this:

 

Yes, I am getting a new phone! And not just a new phone but a new BlackBerry phone! I have been forever converted to BlackBerry and I am pretty sure that I wont go back! I haven't had a phone in over 2 months due to the tightening of money in my house. But now I am getting on my dads company plan and I am getting a new phone as well. 

 

***I would like to say something due to my father. He is one of the greatest men I have ever known. He always comes through and always does the best for my family. I love him so much.***

Not only am I getting a new BlackBerry,  but I am getting a new plan and a new phone number.

So once I have that I will make sure to send out a mass text to everyone giving them my new number.

The downside is that I have to wait till Christmas to get it. But I am sure that I can wait:)!!

An Upside to being completely sick and horrid this morning was that I got over it and when I looked out the window, IT WAS FINALLY SNOWING! I have been waiting all November and all this month for some snow and it is here now:).

I am definitely a Winter Girl. Anything to do with December is my thing:) Not just because of Christmas or my birthday, but the feeling of just pure joy that fills me every time I hear a Christmas song on the radio or sing a carol with my family. It has been snowing since 9 this morning and now at the current moment it is 2:30 P.M. 

Have fun driving;) (He he he he - devilish laugh).

Last Minute Thoughts:

1. Technology is growing as fast as we do.

2. Water is the best.

3. Take about 2 Tylenol after you are sure that you are done throwing up your guts cause you will be sore after.

4. Take time to think about everyone and everything that helps you through the day and give thanks for it in your prayers. Health is a big one cause being sick is the worst.

5. Love yourself.

Love you!

(:Christmas Has Officially Thrown Up All Over Us:)

Well its that time of year again!!!!!!!

I cant tell you how very excited I am for this Christmas Season!

It is the best time in the world!

So here are some pictures that show that yes, we are not an exception to the Christmas bonanza of boxes and decorations that are being exploded in our house. I'm sure you guys feel it to as Christmas has definitely vomited on us! Its okay though!:) I love the decorations and the little Santa figures and the snowflakes and the snowmen and the penguins and the MUSIC! I finally have an excuse to play Christmas Music! It is my favorite by far, and they are the easier ones to sing too!:)

-Energy Vommitting all OVER Me-

You all know that I love people - remember its their decisions that I don't like - but man some people just get on my nerves!

So for those of you who still don't know my true nature, let me enlighten you:

1. I am stubborn. Who ever tells you other wise is lying.
2. I am Hardheaded.
3. I am passionate about what I believe in. And don't try to sway me cause you wont get far.
4. When people attack me, I attack back.
5. I love my family.
6. I love when people engage me in a good conversation.
7. I am very entertaining. No seriously, people who don't even know me tell me that!
8. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong and please call me on it. I'm not being sarcastic there. But saying that, I am usually right. 'Usually' being used as a loose word.
9. I am very conservative. I love business and the money that it permits people to have!
10. Despite of what people think, I actually love my cousin and I am very VERY happy when she gets stuff that I don't! (Relatives that know me and Meghan better believe me on this or else...:( ).
11. Life is too short to be jealous of others. Just be happy for them and stop being JEALOUS. Jeez...
12. I am a loaded Pistol. Get in my way and just plan on being shot - or slapped:).

Well there it is. Just wanted to clarify some things before I 'accidentally shot' someone.
Now people, since most of those 12 points are in my thoughts daily, there will be no Last Minute Thoughts today.
Hope you had a great time at Thanksgiving and on Black Friday! I did!:)

Love Ya!

The Twilight Mess

Well... I saw Twilight last night....

I have to say that I was more disappointed than when the new president was elected about a month ago. 

I really really REALLY wanted it to be as good as people said it was. 

But alas... it wasn't. Edward was ugly, but I already knew that before the show even started filming. 

Bella was emotion less until the very end, and when she did show some emotion, it was forced and embarrassing. 

The characters I did like were Emmett and Charlie - oh and Jacob was the best looking character they had! They were PERFECT! Every scene with them were really good. But one scene that I did like was when Bella and Edward showed up in his not-the-right-car Volvo and every one was staring and she said "Everyone is staring" and then he said "Well not him, oh yes he just looked. Oh well" (reminding you I didn't get the wording exactly right but that's the gist of it. 

But all the other scenes when they were together, were just.... what's the right word I'm looking for...  Awkward. 

I didn't think that it would be that bad, but it was!

My mom on the other hand loved it, but like I have said before, she is just as insane as I am, but it grows worse with age I guess.

I wanted it to be good, but as stated before, it was really uncomfortable - like your watching your friends make out uncomfortable. Yes, for me, it was that bad. 

Another thing I would like to point out is that they are going to have a REALLY hard time with making the forth movie. Renesmee obviously cant be played or acted by a 10 month old. She would have to be totally CGI and I really don't think they have that kinda technology yet. Maybe in 5-10 years, but by then the actors would be, well 5-10 years older and vampires are NOT supposed to age. 

Oh and the special effects were kinda low grade. No not kinda, really low grade. 

They are already working on the second one and I don't know how they are going to butcher it up anymore next time. Its going to be a miracle if they get it anywhere near the book. Because, to be honest, they didn't get it even close to the book. 

But I guess I'm glad they didn't cause now I don't associate it with the book at all and that's a good thing. 

There is my opinion. Your wasting your time if you try to change it, so leave it be. 

Last Minute Thoughts:

1. I love the movie Hairspray! It is one of the best movies I have seen!

2. I wish I could be in California right now...

3. Sleep is the most greatest thing that I have ever indulged in! Until it is interrupted in stupid and weird dreams. 

4. Not having school is the BEST!

5. With out friends, I would live a sad existence. 

6. Go and read the Twilight books again. They are so much better than the movie.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things to Give Thanks For:)

Thanksgiving Jokes!!!:

If the Pilgrims were alive today, what would they be most famous for?
Their AGE

Why can't you take a turkey to church?
Because they use such FOWL language

What do you get when you cross a turkey with an octopus?
Enough drumsticks for Thanksgiving

The pro football team had just finished their daily practice session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said, "All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?"

A man in Florida, in his 80s, calls his son in New York one November day.
The father says to the son, "I hate to tell you, but we've got some troubles here in the house. Your mother and I can't stand each other anymore, and we're getting a divorce. I've had it! I want to live out the rest of my years in peace. I'm telling you now, so you and your sister shouldn't go into shock later when I move out."
He hangs up, and the son immediately calls his sister in the Hampton and tells her the news. The sister says, "I'll handle this."
She calls Florida and says to her father, "Don't do ANYTHING till we get there! We'll be there Wednesday night." The father agrees, "All right." He hangs up the phone and hollers to his wife, "Okay, they're coming for Thanksgiving. Now, what are we going to tell them for Christmas?"
