Oh Nuts

On Thursday Amanda, Aaliyah and I were out and stopped in at an adorable shop called Betsy's Yarn and Tea Shop . They had a large assortment of teas and a collection of tea pots and cups/saucers in different colors. There was also a selection of yarns there. Of course I pretty much went straight to the yarn, while Amanda went for the tea pots. After looking through the yarn that they had I found a color that I really liked! This is the yarn that I bought, though I haven't decided on what I am going to make with it. http://www.berroco.com/ The tea that I bought is part of a collection, called Be Active Teas, that is sold at the store, and is distributed The Republic of Tea. I got Get Burning: Herb Tea for Metabolism,  and it is Hot Cinnamon Ginger. Since cinnamon is supposed to help with weight loss and I really like cinnamon flavored stuff, I thought it was the perfect kind for me to get. Besides the tea being cinnamon, it can be served as a hot tea or as iced tea depe...

Before leaving for my brother's graduation Amanda wanted to do a mini photo shoot. Of course once I took several pictures of Amanda, she had to take pictures of me. She also took several pictures of Rosebud. Even though it looks like I am in pain I usually do one unattractive picture during a photo shoot.

--- 1 --- Even though I kind of set myself up for this on accident, but I was roped into acting in "The 7 last Words of Christ." I was originally not going to help because my job didn't allow for me to make a lot of the practices. But then I had to say something about having to work so I couldn't make all of the practices or something along those line.       --- 2 --- I was going to say how I don't like snow, especially after the first day of spring, but I wasn't sure how I was going to word it. I was also going to mention something about the rain that we have been having as well, of course I couldn't figure out how to word it without making it sound weird. --- 3 --- I found this on Tumblr and I really like it so I decided to share it here :) --- 4 --- Last week my sister wrote a post on her blog about how she is a secret ninja, because she somehow managed to hurt her ankle. And last week my right wrist started hurting a little and I ...

--- 1 --- Going from 60 degrees at the beginning of the week, several tornadoes, lots of rain and wind, are included in that, to 26 degrees at the end of the same week. Last week on Saturday night it got down to 6 degrees. So it went from nice spring weather to really cold winter weather. When I move out, when ever that is, I want to move to someplace that doesn't have terribly cold winters or really hot summers, because I don't like extremely cold or really hot weather. Once I find out which states have mild winters and summers I will let you know when I decide to move there ;) :) --- 2 --- Tomorrow is the last day of NaNoWriMo and I haven't been to bad with my procrastination. There was only about three days total where I either didn't write at all or only wrote a couple hundred words. But I have been trying to make up for the days where I didn't really write by trying to write at least two thousand or more words.  --- 3 --- --- 4 --- The ...

--- 1 --- I know that last week I said that this weeks 7 quick takes would just be the pattern that I used to make the backpack. Well I decided to not do that because it sounded kind of boring to me.  --- 2 --- This past Saturday, Yavi had a small dance performance at our church. Though my family and I had seen the dance they were performing already we still went. Yavi wanted me to video the dance on my camera, since we had't gotten the entire dance on video the first time they did it, but I forgot to grab my camera before we left and didn't remember until we got to the church. But someone else was videoing it instead. Afterwards we all went out for ice cream at Culver's. The dance that they did was based on the story of The Prodigal Son  (Luke 15: 11-32), though they changed it to The Prodigal Daughter  since all of the dancers doing it were girls. --- 3 --- A friend of ours who hadn't been able to see the dance before came over to my house and we spent ...
