You Spin My Head Right Round, Right Round!

I have been meaning to Blog for quite some time now. For a quick catch up I'll do a quick little blog log.

Blog Log

• I turned 21 on Dec. 5! Yesss I'm finally legal! And i'm so thankful to all of my friends who came to my little get-to-gether, who I hadn't seen in quite a while.


• Finals week (which for me was the last three weeks of school) was Busy! What with schoolwork and projects, then friends and callings. I have never had a busier semester overall, but also I have never had to grow so much and experience so much! It was craziness! But I also am very proud to report some very good grades that I gleaned from my labors.


• The power outage was such a crazy night what with packing and pizza and helping others with homework (or more distracting, that is). But my oh my that pizza was delicious! My roommate Chrissy and I left the town in darkness in search of the first pizza parlor that we could come across that was open and had power and still had pizza. What then ensued you ask? ....Well, we then passed several open parlors and went way out of our way to the Little Ceasers in IF. What an adventure it was and I hope ne'er again to see the shady man with a mullet. (I mean seriously the mullet went out of fashion 30 years ago. It's dead. Let it die.)


• Then in a crazy whirlwind of events my parents came helped load up my stuff, finish off my clean check, go to dinner, and then get out of dodge ...after the people in the hotel room next to us kept us up most the night with a terrible fight.


• And now I am home.


• Home for a whole nine months. Working. At Molen Orthodontics again, which I am very glad to have my job back, btw.


• I did have a surgery, another gum graft as it were, on the 28 of December. Thought it failed, but found out today it didn't! Which means I may have come to the end of the road with all of my oral difficulties! Which is very exciting~ At least to me, and my family. But lets not count the chickens before they hatch!


• So what now to expect?

I surmise that the next few months may be a little lonely as compared with the previous two winters, but with good purpose. I will fill the bank only to return again triumphant! (of what I am still figuring...)

I have many projects I have finished, am working on or, hope to have underway soon! And Iwill update you as they come! Recently I have just finished a matching Curtain set to go with the bedsest that I made for David and Kami Summers. And hope to get some pictures up soon.

On the Culinary Front, I have not made very much because I have had a pretty serious cold for about two weeks now. BUT something good I have made but do not have pictures of is my Grilled Cheese Dippers with Spicy Tomato-Cheese Soup. Now you can easily make this not very spicy at all, or add more spicy-ness to your taste, (for example, if you were my roommate Jayme.)

Pic. (Unavaliable, just picture a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. Original I know!)

Recipe

Dippers: 1 can Fiesta Style Chedder Southwest Soup (if unavaliable try Southweset Style Pepper Jack soup or something similiar) - 8 oz shredded Mexican Cheese Blend - 1 Baguette French Bread, sliced 1/2 " thick (now you don't need the French Bread, but it's delicious) - Butter

Soup: 1 can Tomato Soup - 1 can Cheddar Cheese Soup - 3 c Spicy Vegetable Juice - 2 tsp Hot Pepper Sauce - 1 tsp dried Basil

Mix the Fiesta Style Chedder Southwest soup with the Mexican Cheese Blend and spread across the buttered bread and cook as you would a grilled cheese sandwich. While making the sandwiches, mix the soup ingredients together and when both are heated serve together!

Very delicious! Be careful not to add too much cheese though it will make a sticky mess of your sandwiches!

I hope that those of you who made New Years goals, keep them, those of you who haven't yet, to make them, and that we all may keep our heads about ourselves, as life keeps spinning us around and around and around!
