Trying to find things to do in the middle of nowhere.

Ice Skating
Tonight we went ice skating!  I've only been ice skating one other time in my life, so this was an adventure.  The ice rink wasn't the most smooth... and I am not the best skater... Therefore, it was a challenge for me.  A fun challenge though.   After that we got hot chocolate and played Scrabble.



I really appreciate this picture because I caught some kid just fall on his face. 





Also.  We had a huge debate on how to say the word "cupcake" in Spanish.  I consulted with the internet and a few people who speak Spanish.  No one has a clear answer on it.  My favorite one, however, is kekitos.

3 Weeks Till Christmas Break
So my parents decided to fly me down for Thanksgiving.  I got to see all the kids.  They are all getting so tall.  For Thanksgiving we had a bunch of family over.  I made homemade cranberry sauce which I only got a little of because I was at the kid table. Kid table = lame. Anyway. I don't know why I got stuck there.
I went to In-n-Out while I was there.  I even had a hamburger.  I know so many calories.  But I did it anyway.

Of course I had to go shopping at a good mall while I was home.  I bought so many things and now have a list of things I want still.  It felt amazing. I even went to Zara<3 Day complete. I did not compete in Black Friday though.

On Thanksgiving day, my brother, dad, aunt, uncle, and I all went to visit family members' graves.  I'm named after my great-grandma, so its always kind of weird to see my name on a headstone...


My brother Ben and I(:

 My little sister had me put make up on her one day.  Usually I have softer,easy to remove make up for her. I forgot it of course.  So we used mine.


On Friday I went on a bike ride with my friend.  We went all throughout the Central Park in my area and looked at all the ducks.  It was super fun!

Saturday night I hung out with Dane.  It was the last time I will see him for two years.  He's been called to serve a mission in Colombia.  We had a super fun night.  I'm going to miss him.  A lot. 

The night I had to leave we went out for sushi.  I miss fish and sushi so much.  I ate wayyy too much though. My brother and his friend. 



It was my 9 year old brother's first time.  He didn't like it... haha

And now I am home.  Back in the frozen wasteland.  Its very cold here. Not snowing.  Yet.  My apartment is freezing though! I feel like the cut off the heating for the break.  Rude.

Remember that time my car got broken into?
Oh wait... That just happened...
So we get in my car for the first time since church yesterday and all the papers in my glove box are all over the car.  Which is not how I left them.  Nothing seemed to be missing except my GPS.  They didn't even take my iPod adapter. Which I guess is a plus since I have a long drive tomorrow.
It happened right outside my window in my apartment parking lot.  Not cool man.

Puke and Dancing
So today started out as the climax of my absolutely horrid week.  I kid you not.  I am having an awful week.  I went to bed at 10 last night and woke up every three hours.  Every time I woke up I had a new symptom.  WebMD said first I had a brain tumor, then simmered down to say I had strep.  I recently came in contact with someone with strep... So I was utterly convinced I was dying of strep by the time I woke up again at 9. I felt sick and nasty and it was great.  i went to the doctors.  Got some medicine.  And then promptly puked it out when I got home.  Woooo.  I felt so much better though ahha.  Then I slept and watched some movie that was really confusing on Netflix.

So I decided I was quite recovered after that and went to the most awful ward dance I have had the misfortune to attend in a very long time.  It was terrible.  But!  my roommates had fun.  I'm a total creep and I shall prove it to you:
Bam.  Imma creep.  End of story. 

So that details the day I went from puking to dancing.  

Other things from this week:
Its started snowing this week and I am officially learning how to drive in the snow.  Kenz was kind enough to wipe my windshield for me (':  (Best friend^^)

It is Christmas on Campus!
Also.  This week Kenz and I went down to civilization and I ordered the third book in the Abarat series!!!! I've been waiting years for it.  I highly recommend it.  Read it. Love it.

Culinary Delights
So. My culinary arts class is awesome. I adore it. The only problem is that it feels so early in the morning. The other day when I was walking to class it was still dark outside. Today we are learning about meat. It isn't my favorite topic. But I love culinary arts. I'm thinking about making it my second minor. That's how much I like it. I'm excited for my culinary arts classes next semster. Right now I'm just in International Foods, but I'm hoping the baking teacher allows me to add. I've been wanting to take it for a long time. I am so ready to go back to sleep. I'm looking for a cranberry sauce recipe that I could jar and freeze so I can have delicious cranberry sauce all year. I eat it often. My culinary lab teacher mentioned she had a fabulous one. Hm.

BIG JUDS
Today we went to Big Juds.  It's this little hamburger place in the middle of nowhere kind of near were we live. Kind of.  We drove all the way there.  It was kind of sketch looking on the outside... But it was actually pretty good. I accidentally ordered a 1/2lb instead of a 1/4 lb.  So that was a bummer.  It was fun.  I guess they're know for these huge hamburgers that are about the size of a plate.  They're crazy.



1/2 lb Bacon Cheeseburger

with tots(:

The hamburgers are huge.  So Adam was preparing to shove it in his mouth.

Dante's Last Level of Hell
I hate the snow.  I honestly do.  Nothing is worse than the ice and snow and wind all working together to make this place the frozen hell it becomes. I can't even walk across a parking lot by myself.  Its quite pathetic.  I slip and fall all the time and give myself bruises or ice burns.  Its awful.  The cold and wind also make my eyes water.  So I constantly look like an emotionally unbalanced psycho.  I've had teachers ask me what's wrong, who broke my heart, etc.  Then I have to explain that my body rejects the cold or something.  I also can no longer wear heels.  I adore heels.  I'm taking this rather hard this year.  I can't wear falsies because my eyes water and make them come off.  I can't wear skirts above my ankle or I freeze to death. Even when I do wear long skirts many times I will wear layers of leggings or yoga pants underneath.
There are no redeemable qualities about this place in the winter time.  Which is 10 months of the year.
Just read Dante's Infereno.  The last level of hell where Satan resides describes the climate of this place beautifully.

Staycation
This weekend Kenz decided we needed a staycation.  Or any kind of leaving this itty bitty town.  So we got a hotel in the nearest location of civilization.  It was actually really fun.  We got to use their jacuzzi and sauna.  Which meant I got to wear my new swimsuit.  Today we went shopping and last night we went to Olive Garden.  The only bummer of this weekend is that it has finally begun snowing.  Its so terrible.  I am now learning how to drive in snow.  When we first went out this morning, my car door was frozen shut and there was ice all over the windows and mirrors.  I had to actually scrap it off with my ice scraper thing.


STAYCATION!


Our hotel room

The chicken on our balcony.  Hahhahahah



GEESE 

Our hotel had a phone by the toilet....


 We waited at Olive Garden forever.  There were so many people there.  We got a free breadstick while we waited.  That was pretty cool.  We've never had that happen before.

Our waiter took a bite? 

SAUNA 


While we were in civilization, we got Starbucks!  They have their holiday cups!  We were so excited.  It was the perfect thing to drink while the wind blew the snow all over.  
Now we are going to watch the Twilight movies #2 and #3.  Preparing for the next one(: Hahah lame.  We know. Also Immortals is coming out soon.  I AM SO EXCITED.
