Um Hi. I Made Brownies.

So, hi there. 


I just remembered that I had a blog. 

So I'm going to use it again.


Ok. Here I go.


I've been spending these past few months having a life, you know how it is, and doing stuff like, baking. Not just any baking. GLUTEN FREE BAKING! Ohhhhhhhhhh scary! Not kidding it is kinda scary. 

Recently we have come to realize that some people in my family may have a gluten intolerance, and their bodies can't handle grains like other people can. So guess what I did. I made brownies baby. 

Really, the only problem I had with the diet change was no more desserts, I love desserts. I actually love everything edible. I love food. Anyways, I went online to figure out what the heck I should do about my sweet tooth. Certain people would say, "Fruit is the new sweet. That's what the Cave Men ate when they wanted something sweet!" I'm not a cave man. Nor a cave woman, I'm a modern American!! I. Need. Sugar. 

Fruit wasn't curbing my sweet tooth very effectively, it would work for a while but not like a nice, hot, chocolaty brownie would. I went online again and looked up recipes. They all called for some weird flour substitute, mostly coconut and almond flours. Next time we went grocery shopping I made sure to beg for them :) I got home and followed one recipe. I didn't like it. So instead of taking the easy course and just looking for another one, like a normal person would do, I made my own. The grand effect was I got brownies every day for about a week, making a new batch every single day. In about two weeks I got the recipe as tasty as I could! Good thing too because my family was getting sick of brownies and I was asked to take a break. 

I will share this fabulous recipe with you later when I have a picture, because personally I would never try a new recipe with out knowing what it should look like. 

Ok that's all! Buh-Bye!

Giving Thanks

Even though it is way past Thanksgiving I'm giving you a thankful post, it is November so it isn't way over do right? Anyways!!

1. I'm so thankful for my family, they are always there to support me in everything, life, and school, I'm really thankful for them all.

2. A roof over me and my families head, our house may be small, but we all make room for each other. At times you feel like a huge giant in here, but it's a real blessing to be able to live here all together.

Amazing!

Well there are a few of the thins I'm thankful for! Thanks for reading!

Photography Rant

Ok, I was thinking a lot about photography, because like all the bloggers on the face of the universe are photographers! I was thinking of if I were to do a little picture taking what my style should be. My sister Lily's style is nature as you can see on her blog :bellefluerphotography.blogspot.com/ 


I was thinking maybe my style should be more life, life in my family and with my friends! But that's kind of my mothers style, as you can see on her blog :amy-caroline.blogspot.com/


So I don't now. I like taking pictures of roses, and I like taking pictures of my cute little siblings. Frankly, I don't know much about photography, so my style is out there, I just haven't looked into it enough! 


That's it for my random thought!! Bye!
ps. Lol  a photography post with no picture, haha cool.

Nothing Important

I'm a wee bit sick. :( The thing about this cold is that it is horrible in the morning, gets better, then get horrible, again, at night. which makes me mad because right when I start feeling well I push it. Like yesterday, I thought I was all better, but at the end of dance class I was blubbering like a fool because my legs and feet weren't doing what I wanted them too. (Ah grace, how I long to have you) I'm thinking that dance class probably didn't help my recuperating body too well. I also tried to sing, I had a little sore throat at the time, and now, it's bad. I push it!!! All the time!!! I need to stop that! Gosh.

Ok I'm done yelling at myself, for now my throat wont let my voice come out *cough cough* (ouch). I'm sure by tomorrow I'll be all better though! I'm going to kick this cold's butt with some vitamin C!! BOOYA! Sorry... *cough cough* (ouch).

I had a yummy breakfast today!! i wanted to take a picture of it... but I was too busy eating to do it. It was a n apple cut into eights, some grapes, two hard boiled eggs covered in salt, (mmm... hehe...) and toast covered in butter ( double mmm).

I want to watch Meet Me in Saint Louis again... I like that movie, but we scratched the disk for it :( ...... *deep sigh* maybe we'll rent it soon! *Whoot*

Ok, I'm getting weird, I'll post ya later!!

Maybe More Frogging, More NaNo, and a Rant

Good morning!! My toes are cold and I'm wearing an unattractive sweatshirt, I love fall!! I need some socks...

I started my leg warmers again, and guess what?? I found my knitting on the floor of the hallway with a bunch of stiches torn out.  Not happy. But it may have been more or less my fault for leaving it unprotected on the couch but still!! How rude! My mom or sister who are the main knitters will look at it soon :)

I wrote a paper on Wuthering Heights. It's the best book about the worst people I love it! You can't stop reading it because the characters are so horrible!! But instead of writing about it's awfulness I wrote about how where they lived (The Moors of England) always gave you a hint of a character's personality, or what was going to happen next, it was awesome.

I've been readying myself for NaNo these last few October days, and I've been getting a little excited!! But how in the sane world am I going to be able to write 50,000 words in a month? *deep breath* At least I already know what I'm writing about! I'm going to rewrite the Grimm's Fairy Tale King Thrushbeard! It's about a snotty princess who has to marry a beggar because her dad is sick of her all around snobbishness. (OMG! Snobbishness is a word!!) I think I'll do ok because I already know how it's going to end, and I got a basic plot. (Thanks Grimm Bros!!!) I have done some of my own character sketches and I think it's going to be amazing!!

I got This from Google Images :)

Are you toes cold? Have you had a craft disaster lately? Have you wrote a super awesome cool paper? What are you doing for NaNo? Are you doing NaNo? Leave me a comment!! Buh-Bye world!

Spanish and Frogging

Remember those leg warmers I was making? I failed. My mother tried to help, but it was far too late, I went to far.

I was doing wonderfully, I was knitting two and purling two like nobody's business, then I came to the knit two together, yarn over, purl, after a row of that, ribbing was impossible for me...When i showed my mom she said I should just start ribbing again even though it wont match up, but it was far to confusing seeing the previous rib, so I frogged it, I tore all my knitting off the needles. I shall start again soon though! I promise that!!

At youth choir yesterday, I felt really left out. Not because I'm the only home school girl. Well, at least that's not all of it. Mostly I felt left out because they all speak Spanish, and I don't. So I'm going to learn Spanish!! I know, I know, that's a horrible reason for learning a new language, but really!! How would you like it if you were the only person in a whole group that didn't speak Spanish, was home schooled and all that jazz! And furthermore, I find it much easier to talk to the 20 year old leaders of the group rather than the 16-17 year olds, I don't know, either I'm awkward, or their awkward. I'm going to say their awkward, just because I can, until I have further proof that I am. I probably am because I had to rant this out...

*deep breaths* I'm fine, I'm fine... I'm good... Ok, That's it! Until next time my fellow peeps!
