it's been a long time

I haven't posted in a long time. I withdrew from classes and just quit my job so I lead quite the leisurely life... which is driving me insane. Anyhow, I do appreciate the many opportunities I've had to fellowship with all my friends here. Just this morning I had a friend over for a yummy breakfast and another friend came over and we had fun eating carrots and chatting. I made some carrot cake cupcakes for a dinner I'm going to tonight and then I ... made a copycat of the Starbucks Salty Caramel Hot Chocolate!!


I really don't like the signature hot chocolate blend (it's... liquid chocolate; quite strong) so I don't make any fancy hot chocolate, but I add caramel syrup, put whipped cream on top (joey whipped some up for me), with some caramel, fine sea salt... and just a sprinkle of cinnamon, to be adventurous.

Lately I've also made delicious cranberry-lemon scones (fresh cranberries of course), and later today or tomorrow I'll be making a crustless cranberry-blueberry pie. And next week I'll try making a cranberry sauce. Mmm... cranberries = delicious.

Next semester I will probably take classes. I don't want to. I do want to read books and learn but I don't want to sit in three-hour long classes or write a bunch of papers. I wish I could find a job. Oh well. I am playing with the idea of returning to college for a BS, in nursing... but who knows. I entertain many ideas..

I read all of the "Twilight" books over break, after I saw the movie. I really enjoyed the first, part of the third, and most of the fourth, however, her writing is sloppy, the plot could have been expanded so much, and I got sick of the werewolves. They annoyed me.
