Oh Nuts

Cheese sausage veggies pepperoni ham pineapple Out of the list of food items that are typically found on pizzas my favorites are sausage and plain cheese pizza. Pepperoni is okay once in a while, but it is not a favorite of mine.  When most people hear the words comfort and food together in a sentence it is typical to think of ice cream. While I enjoy eating ice cream, my favorite comfort food is pizza. For me there is something about warm cheesy pizza that is comforting to me. 

While there are things that I want to do at some point in the future I never really thought of it as a bucket list. For me a bucket list consists of random things that aren't really done on a frequent basis or when you hear something that isn't typically normal. An example of hearing something that typically isn't the normal thing to hear is a cat throwing up, that happened a couple weeks ago when I was at work. Because I don't have an official bucket list I can't share the top things that are on it. Unless you count visiting Europe, or going to a concert as a top thing on your bucket list. So far I have only done one of the two examples I just gave. Last year over the summer my family and I went to a Piano Guys concert when they were in the area. It was amazing and something that I crossed off of my sort of existent bucket list. Getting to listen to a cat puke was something that I mentally crossed off of my bucket list as well, though it wasn't at the to...

The two things that I collect are knitting needles and yarn. I started my collection of needles when I was 10 years old and my grandma taught me how to knit. But I didn't start collecting my own stash of yarn until a couple years after that. For a couple years I just had the pair of knitting needles that my grandma had given me, then one year for Christmas I asked for more needles in different sizes, as well as a couple different skeins of different colored yarn. That was when I first really started collecting my stash of yarn and needles. Of course both collections have grown since then. Back in February I had done a post on the different size needles that I own. Since I wrote that post a pair of size 19 knitting needles has been added to my collection. My yarn collection hasn't changed much over the years since I started it. The collection started back in either January or February of 2010, when I made a blanket for myself. It was started because the November before...

I am the kind of person who doesn't easily tell people what the problem is, if I am upset or frustrated about something. And I hate it when people bug me to tell them what the matter is. To me, if I am being bugged to explain how I am feeling at a particular moment, I take longer to respond. When I am ready to tell someone how I am feeling about something I will tell them then, and I will do it because I want to and not because they want me too. While I may have a hard time telling others about how I am feeling at at particular moment, there are different things that make me happy. The first one on the list is going to Adoration!! I love being able to go to an Adoration chapel and sit in silence with Jesus and just think. Silence is something that I enjoy and being able to sit in an Adoration chapel in silence is something that makes me feel better. The second one on the list is just being there for other people when they need someone to listen too. Because sometimes someone...

Since I have never left the country this is something that I think about on a somewhat regular basis, or at least when the topic of traveling is brought up in conversations. One place that I would either like to visit or live in would have to be Ireland. I don't know what it is about this particular country that I like, but it always looks so pretty and quiet. And after visiting/living in Ireland the next country that I always wanted to visit is Italy. Besides the Vatican being there, Italy is also full of history, especially history that involves the Catholic Church, and since I enjoy learning about history, I would enjoy visiting Italy. After visiting and/or living in these two countries there aren't really any other countries that I would want to live in or visit, other than England.

This is one of the blog posts where I knew already what I was going to say so it was easy to pick five blogs that I enjoy reading. 1. Homeschooling with Joy . The first blog on the list belongs to my dear mother. Although she hasn't posted much lately, and I know pretty much everything that goes on around our house, I still enjoy reading what she writes on her blog. 2. Elenatintil . This blog belongs to a friend of mine. It is one of my favorite blogs because I enjoy reading what my friend shares on her blog. 3. Shealynn's Faerie Shoppe . This blog is run by another friend of mine. Shealynn runs her own business, which can be found through her blog, and shares pictures of the items that she makes and sells. It is one of my favorite blogs to read because I enjoy seeing everything that she makes and shares on her blog. 4. Books, Roses and Wine . Even though Amanda is my sister, and she sometimes shares stuff that happens at home, just like our mom, I still enjoy reading ...

Just like everyone else I express my creativity in different ways. Some of the ways that I express my creativity is through photography, knitting and writing. Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington D.C. (taken by me) Through photography I show my creativity with the different pictures that I take and the different ways that they are taken. The picture on the left is an example. I took it back in March when my family and I were in DC for a few days and we visited the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Photography is something that I have enjoyed my whole life, though I didn't really get in to it until a few years ago and I enjoy sharing the pictures that I have taken. Writing is another way that I enjoy expressing my creativity. Even if I don't share my meager attempts at novel writing, usually done during NaNoWriMo , with the rest of the world I still enjoy writing because it gives me a chance to express who...
