Late Night Baking

So I believe that the best way to enjoy Banana Bread is to have it warm and right out of the oven. So when I got home tonite (2am) I began baking some BB from scratch. (You should smell my apt-It's so yummy for my nose!) I wanted to surprise NL with it for breakfast. But after I made it I thought, why not add some cream cheese icing and give it to my dad as a belated birthday cake/bread since I wasn't able to see him on his bday. So I iced the cake/bread. Now I really wish I hadn't because I want a slice of the plain banana bread. And I want Nick to have some before he goes to work. So I think I will take a picture of it in it's wholeness, cut a piece for NL and myself and take my dad the remainder and the photo. ^_^

10 reasons

Here are my top ten reasons of the moment to be happy...

1. I am alive. (this is always a good one)

2. I have a job teaching something I love.

3. I have a caring and understanding boyfriend.

4. I have an awesome best friend. (even though she does live in Miami now)

5. My neighbors bring me cookies. (that taste good!)

6. I have a roof over my head and a comfy bed to sleep in.

7. I have a cute black cat named Betty who loves to snuggle.

8. The marching band I work with was rated excellent at the FBA competition yesterday.

9. I have a pumpkin to carve ^_^

10. I work at a job where someone says have a "good morning/evening" to me about 50 times an hour.

at this moment I am wondering...

should I have a salad or go for the dale's BBQ sandwich? Well there's never a better time to start dieting than now, right? I guess I'll have the salad.

Begin again.

And with this post I begin another blog. I figured it was time to start one again. The last real blog I kept was on livejournal when I was 16-17. Well I guess thats the only time I regularly posted. I have a myspace but I never thought of that as a blog. So I made this one to keep my thoughts organized. For this first post I suppose I shall describe myself and my current state. I am 20 years old and I live with my boyfriend who I will call NL. He is 21 and we have been together for about 3 years now. I work full-time for QVC in a call center where I take orders from mostly old ladies who have nothing better to spend their money on than our "Today's Special Value." And I also work part time at a local high school where I choreograph the flag routines for the marching band's colorguard. That job is fun... when things are going as planned. It's when my girls don't remember routine and we get down to 2 days before competition and it all looks like doodie that I get stressed. Oh look... competition is on Saturday. Awesome. -_- My parents live in a bus that has been converted into an RV. They have it parked on my deceased grandfather's property. Why? Because when the a/c in the actual house broke, they decided it would be easier to move into The Bus. My little sister is 17 and still lives with them...barely. Lately she has been staying with her 21 year old boyfriend who has a 2 year old kid. How promising. My older brother is in jail. I don't know how old he is. I don't really know him at all. I do know that he is older than my other sister who is 32. She is married and has 3 children. That would be my immediate family.

I realize this post would be torn apart by an english teacher but I am too lazy today. I really don't feel like fixing any paragraphing or grammar issues. Plus, NL and his buddy JP have decided that they want to annoy me. So I'm done for today.
