You know it's fall when...

...you wake up early on a Saturday morning with an urge to bake something with apples in it.  And it's general conference.

I've learned over the past few months that I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.  I'm no professional, but I've definitely gotten braver in trying new things, making up recipes, and going out of my comfort zone to make deliciousness.  I especially enjoy it when I can make stuff to share with other people, and when I have time to do it well.  Last night I had a bad dream (I don't remember what it was), but I remember that one part was about baking something...so then when I woke up, I remembered that part.  And as I went to bed early last night and got up early today, I had a couple hours before conference started.  So I made German pancakes with apples and cinnamon, and drizzled caramel on top...and it was delicious!  I also made blueberry coffee cake.  And the best part?  I got to share. :)  I went to watch conference with some people in the ward, and we had breakfast, so I got to share my concoctions, and it was great!

I love how I keep learning things about me!  And I'm glad I've gotten to this point where I enjoy cooking and trying new things.

On that note, for those of you who don't really know what I'm talking about when I say "general conference", here's a short version.  We are blessed to have a living prophet here on the earth today, as well as twelve Apostles, just like in Christ's day.  They are men called by God to teach God's word here on earth.  Twice a year, we get the opportunity to hear from them throughout the world in what's called general conference.  They instruct us on how better to live the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, how to be true disciples of Christ, so that we can find true happiness in this life and eternal life afterwards.  If you'd like to know more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please visit www.lds.org or www.mormon.org, or talk to local missionaries from the Church.  The conference that was held today and will be held tomorrow, can be viewed live at www.lds.org, and can also be watched afterwards.  This gospel is the reason I am a happy person. :)

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....
