Mother, May I

Mother, may I make a sm'ore over the stove?

 

 

Hello, my blog friends!

 

How are you all?

 

I'm doing great, now that I've learned how to enjoy campfire delights from the comfort of our own kitchen.  (See above)^^

 

My sister introducted us too the idea- so fantastic!

 

All you need is a knife and a stovetop! 

 

Brown a marshmeller' to your liking, get yourself some chocolate/gramcrackers and tah-dah!

 

*CRUNCH*

 

 

 

 

SOO000,  I know its been forever since I posted.

 

Life has been busy, and, in times like these, blogging comes low on my list of priorities.

 

This semester has been eaten up by work and school.

 

And stress.  Plenty of that.

 

Lots of deadlines and things to keep track of.

 

Lists have been a huge help to me lately- getting everything I need to do organized in one place so I can see what I need to accomplish and so that I don't forget anything!

 

I'm tired...... really!  When will I learn to get on a better sleep schedule?!?!

 

 School and work are busy

 

And juggling stuff gets overwhelming at times

 

 

 

 

BUT

 

God is faithful.

 

God has a purpose.

 

And he's in control. :)

 

 

Despite my busy schedule, I've not forgotten my handy dandy camera.

 

To capture those special things along the way

 

The little things that brighten my day

 

family

 

friends 

 

snacks

 

music

 

Spanish

 

and God's creation

 

 

 

(Look ^^^ Its an ice cream Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D)

 

 

 

 

*DISCLAIMER*

 

Despite what it may seem, my diet is not limited to sugar and goodies

 

I just like to document the "good stuff" ;)

 

*YOU MAY PROCEED*

 

 

 

Mexican grocery stores are the best.

 

Recently I stopped in a Cerm*ak Market with my mom.

 

They had a large assortment of "Pan Dulce" in the bakery section, as well as a little "churro" stand on the way out!!!

 

Era tan divertido tratar la comida Mexicana. 

 

La comida de la cultura es tan terrifica como la idioma. 

 

Me encanta tratar comidas nuevos y practicar mi espanol! ;)

 

 

 

 

 

Tr*der Joes never ceases to amaze me.

 

We just recently tried these coconut chips.

 

Such a great little sweet snack. 

 

Seriously, I should work for them in their sales (& taste testing) departments.  Hehehe

 

 

 

 

 

And then

 

Just recently, I found this amazing combination.

 

Scooperman ice cream with peanut butter.

 

Can you say "yummmyyy!" ???

 

I love avocados.

They seem to go good with just about anything.

What's really terrifical is you can fill the middle with stuff, like Chili! (see below)

 

 

 

 

Do I like green eggs and ham?

 

Yes, I like them, Sam I am!

 

Well, I like the eggs at least!  (See below)

 

 

We were shopping at Meijer one day a while back, and they were giving out samples!

 

Cutest thing ever!

 

Its just vanilla pudding with green food coloring, and a vanilla wafer in the middle! 

 

 

 

 

 

I've had some really awesome coworkers.

They have this thing where different days, someone buys Starbucks for everyone, and then on another day, you buy it for everyone.

Anyways, one day my coworker got us starbucks, and I got a "white chocolate crème frappucinno". 

Its amazing!  Like a lighter version of a vanilla milkshake! (see below)

I don't often buy frappuccinos, porque cuestan tan MUCHO!

So it was sweet of my coworkers to treat me! :)

 

 

 

Another amazing thing:

 

Oberwiess Chocolate Peanutbutter Milkshake.

If you have not tried one, I recommend it.

Soooo delicious.  Try one!

Or maybe don't.  Because once you do, you'll want to go back! :P

Yesterday I had the opportunity to try sushi for the first time!

The sushi was...  interesting.

 

I have mixed feelings about it. lol

 

I tried several kinds with various fillings... "spicy salmon", "Californian", and I think there were some with crab and some with shrimp.

I didn't mind the fish/filling so much, but the black stuff lining the rice (forgive my lack of a better word, as I am no sushi expert) was strong in flavor. 

The wasabi sauce added a kick- let me tell you, it doesn't take much ;)

And the ginger and soy sauces were good as well.

The best part was, my company gave me a voucher for lunch, so after using the voucher I only had to pay 90 cents! ;D
 



Yesterday was so beautiful in the afternoon!

I mean it was humid, but it was so warm, and I was glad for that!

Having a bit of extra time, I seized the opportunity to take a little walk.

In a pond not far from where I was, there were two swans.

I love swans.  They're like geese, only bigger and more elegant. 

 

They were in a fence.

 

I felt sorry for them and wanted to feed them some grass...

 

But I happen to know that swans are very strong/powerful

And there were also some landscaping dudes around and did not want to get a lecture, so..

 

I ended up just sitting in the grass a short distance away and snapping a few pics with my phone.

 

 

 

 

And lastly, Frozen!

 

Yeah, I know the movie has been way played-up (and I'm not saying there aren't some issues with the movie)

 

And the music is a little overplayed

 

And "over-covered" on youtube

 

BUT

 

I love the soundtrack.

 

This song is one of my faves:

 

 

The emotion. 

 

The drama.

 

The tension.

 

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

 

All the songs growing on me. 

 

 

 

I could ramble on, but I have homework to do, and tomorrow holds the promise of another busy day.

 

Buenas noches!
