it's thanksgiving week! poor thanksgiving gets more and more overlooked, and this year, i'm going to try my hardest to give thanksgiving every credit it deserves. i'm so incredibly blessed, yet i always seem to find something to complain about.
my thanksgiving to do list:
1. watch a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Yay!!! :)
2. wake up in time to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade!
3. spend an incredible amount of time with my family, and give them hundreds of hugs!
4. eat and eat and eat!
5. try a few new foods,,,,,,,,,,maybe.
6. black friday shopping! (i know,,,,,but it's a tradition!)
7. start reading through the chronicles of narnia series
8. bake a few things from my "recipies to make" pile, including pumpkin dump cake, red velvet swirl brownies, and maybe even chocolate gingerbread cookies!
9. Turkey Trot Amarillo style!
10. take lots and lots of pictures!
11. be thankful! :)
what's on your thanksgiving to do list?
Tuesday, November 23
Tuesday, November 9
a time for everything,,,,,,,
i'm feeling inspired,
i want to paint,
and craft,
and scrap,
and edit photos,
and decorate my apartment,
and improve my design skills,
and learn to cook more things,
and train,
and travel,
but i don't have enough time.
i'm sure i would have more time if i would prioritize a tad bit more efficiently. i make my to-do list every day, but sometimes i even find myself working on projects in the midst of making my list, and therefore i end up at the end of the day with a remaining list of to-dos that should have been done, and a pile of accomplished tasks that could have been put off. i just have so many things i want to do in my life.
luckily, i'm only 21 years old.
and i've got an entire life ahead of me.
how exciting is that!?
and i keep reminding myself that God gave me the desire to pursue my passions, and therefore i shouldn't feel like i have to push them aside.
i just need more time.
and more focus.
"for everything there is a season,
and a time for every activity under heaven."

i need a baking intervention.
hello world! :)
i've decided to put together another top ten:
4. tech a&m weekend is this weekend! WRECK 'EM Tech!! :)
3. i love seeing the temperature drop below 95 degrees. i really don't ask for much. i just want to wear a sweater. is that too much to ask for?
2. i got to see my mom this week! it was a short visit, but still great! i'm glad God gave me such a great family, and i'm pretty positive i wouldn't trade them in for anything!
1. i had to go to walmart tonight, scarring most definitely, but one good thing did come from it. there were christmas trees on display. although i don't plan on buying anything else from walmart unless under extreme emergency related circumstances.....i'm taking this as a sign that Christmas is coming soon! and i can't wait to decorate my apartment!!
and that's me today. :)
i've decided to put together another top ten:
10. the big bang theory is probably the funniest show i've seen in all of my existance. i love sheldon cooper. not more than bryce. but what can i say, my heart melts for a boy in plaid pants and a flash t-shirt. also, BBT means it's thursday, which also means the office, and best of all, it means that tomorrow is FRIDAY!!! :
9. pumpkin streusel bars, courtesy of how to: simplify, are probably going to change my life. i few weeks ago i made her pumpkin cream cheese bars, and i have no doubt these will be just as wonderful.
8. 1 peter 5:7 "cast all your cares upon Him, because he cares for you." A-STINKIN-MEN!
7. yellow t-shirt, black paint, 3 inch foam brush. get ready for project: halloween costume! : )
6. having a wonderful friend with wonderful clothes. it's one of the things i miss most about having roomies, but that shall be solved soon!
5. charlie brown. today i watched bits and pieces of Happy Valentines Charlie Brown (my most favorite is minutes 3:02 - 4:30) do you know the tortures of a memory of a lost love?!?!!! it will haunt you every day!! are you sure you want to lose me? o the pains of unrequited love.
4. tech a&m weekend is this weekend! WRECK 'EM Tech!! :)
