Know those little moments when you just feel so good inside that you want to write it down so you can look back and say, "Aha! Moments of good feelings do exist!"

Well, starting this quarter, I began doing a Wall of Smiles.

This Wall consists of post-its--one for every day--of one thing that has made me smile, laugh, or generally feel giddy with ( Read more... )

My dad managed to salvage my hard drive, but my laptop is shot.

In other news, week 2 of cooking camp has started and the cute moments come rolling in once again. One of my favorite quotes of the day:

Instruction: So--how many of you guys want to be chefs when you grow up?
[Half of the students raise hands]
*Silence*
Girl: I want to be a waitress!

...Too ( Read more... )

My laptop is wacking out on me again, which means that I can neither turn it on nor get to my writing files. Sadness. Today was supposed to be a writing day, too. I'm just hoping my dad can fix it.

In other news...only a few hours left until midnight, and you know what that means!

IT ALL ENDS.

In honor of tonight, I was going to make treacle tarts and ( Read more... )

Well, I should be, anyway. I asked at the community center today and the girl who teaches the class, whom I talked to last week and was interested in getting help, is supposed to email me about it tomorrow ( Read more... )

As the year's wrapping up and we're having all of our end-of-the-year celebrations, I can't help but think that either it hasn't sunk in yet every time something happens that will be the "last" time ever, or I actually don't have any regrets about anything I've done :) I sort of think it might be the latter. These past four years have been an ( Read more... )

First off, I wanted to thank all of you guys for rushing to my aid about a certain man-crisis (see previous post)! You guys are amazing. Sad to say, I haven't exactly solved the issue yet...but I'm getting there! There's been a lull and I'm hoping the storm will blow over and he will be gone before I have to actually deal with it again *crosses ( Read more... )

Sooo...after nearly three years off the field, I played in a co-ed game today--and we won!! The score was 5-3, and I was one of six girls on the field (three are required at all times). Okay, so I'm definitely out of shape, and I felt like I was climbing a mountain when I was chasing down the forward from the other team...but I'm on such an ( Read more... )

I just got a call from Stanley--he's dropping off a cupcake that he bought after going with the coords to Sprinkles :)

It's not a bit thing, but after all the really frustrating stuff I've been trying to deal with on the team so far this semester, it makes me really appreciate little things like this <3 ( Read more... )

I just got back from our coordinator retreat yesterday; following me back was a sore throat, some pretty decent memories, and a slight apprehension about the direction the team might be headed in this year with the return of some...well, trouble-stirrer-uppers. I'm a Lead Coordinator this semester, and there's already been some extra work to do ( Read more... )

I'm finally getting my life back. After today's amazing event, which went as well as we ever could have asked for (and more), I am DONE ( Read more... )
