New Year Resolutions

This year for my New Year's resolution I decided I wanted a little herb garden in my kitchen. I had it all planned out, and my mom vetoed it. So I decided I needed a new, last minute resolution. There are basically two obvious choices.One is get in shape and exercise more, and the other is to get organized.

Me. Exercise. Yeah. Not going to happen. I have a dance class, and it takes a whole day of ice cream and potato chips to recover! More exercise would be like asking me to never eat bacon again, and I will die before that happens. I love bacon. 

So I chose to be more organized through the process of elimination (Hey, I do use math outside of school! Just don't tell my teacher. He might start to think I enjoy math). I have this strange feeling of helplessness. My record for having a clean room is about 2 months. That was this summer, and it was only because I cleaned it before I went on vacation and then I wasn't home for more than two days at a time in that two month period.

While I gather the courage to go dig through my room (This might take a while) I figured I might as well start organizing the inner workings of my mind. LISTS!!! I'm not a huge fan of lists. Generally they involve things I have to clean before my mom gets home, and that is never fun. So I thought I might switch it up a bit. 

I now present to you......


THE LIST OF THINGS I REALLY HATE
  • Eating Spinach. Plain cooked spinach. When it's in stuff it is actually really good...
  • My dad's driving.
  • Stuffing. I mean seriously! Who decided to stuff soggy bread and spices up a turkey butt, cook it, and then actually eat it? Gross.
  • Anchovies. I've never actually tried them, but i'm sure I would hate them if I did.
  • Those girls who use cartwheels in all their choreography in my dance class. 1 or 2 would be okay...but every dance? Really? Seriously, go be a cheerleader. 
  • Wearing my glasses. I LOVE CONTACTS!!!
  • Creamy peanut butter. It's like glue for your mouth. I prefer crunchy!
  • Public transportation. Too many creepers. 
  • People who make out in the library. Stop that. 
  • Accidentally eating bubbles. I blame my brother for that one.
  • Automatic staplers. They scare me.
  • Justin Beiber. Or more accurately  how much people love him. I've never met him, so i cant really judge him, but I'm sure he would really hate me too.
  • The 'Wearing Leggings as Pants' trend. Stop it.
  • Gangsters. They always make me late to class because they never walk fast enough. Pull up your pants!
  • Bottled Water. It tastes like plastic.
  • Food from Sonic. It tastes like plastic. 
  • Hot dogs
  • Ketchup. The only point of buying ketchup, is so that you can mix it with mayonnaise.
  • Your Face. 
  • AP United States History. The homework is evil!
  • Certain teachers I will not name. I think you know who you are. 
  • Trying to do dishes with wet nail polish. My mom is cruel sometimes. (But I love her!)
  • Chess. The only reason I go to Chess Club is so that I don't have to sit in the snow.
  • Singing or playing the piano in front of others
  • When strangers come up and touch my hair
  • Mornings
  • Trying to get Photoshop to work for my art class. It hates me too.
  • Writing on my hands
  • Internet Explorer
  • School Computers
  • My computer (I use my dad's even though he banned me. Haha)
  • Mosquitoes 
  • Stepping on Legos
  • Math
  • Top Ramen with Cottage cheese and spicy mustard....Don't ask.
  • Video Games (I suck at Mario Kart)
  • When my MP3 player dies while I'm trying to ignore my dad
  • Blueberries. 
  • When people show up high to class. Seriously, go home. 
  • Gauges
  • My dad's music
  • Dentists
  • Cockroaches. They just WONT DIE!
  • Sports
  • Going to football games
  • Dieting. Ew.
  • When my basement floods right before Christmas
  • Not being able to walk to the Library whenever I want
  • Creepers
I'm sure there are more, I just cant remember right now. Whatever.

Snow

Still getting used to this whole blog thing... Last night, my mom got home from work and we all went outside to shovel snow. I don't know about you, but in my family, shoveling is an adventure. First we shovel our walks, and then our elderly neighbors walks, and then we shovel our grandpa's walks (he lives next door). It usually takes about an hour and a half. On a good day. On a bad day, by the time we are done shoveling, we have to shovel again because it just wont stop snowing!  Today we got like 2 feet of snow. Joy! And I don't know about you, but if there was that much snow in your city, wouldn't they call a snow day? Right? Right?  No luck. I still had to wake up at 6:30, and carpool to school. My first period teacher was 13 minutes late to class. So we just sat around and did nothing for the entire period. And then we had an assembly. I hate assemblies. You can add that to the list of things I really really hate! However, this one wasn't too bad. It di

My Brother....

My brother is a very...interesting person. He loves to juggle, and do impressions with really weird accents. He is a math whiz, and he loves to play chess. He wants me to tell you that he thinks he is hilarious (but we just let him think that). We have very strange conversations. Mostly involving Doctor Who or Avatar. He is also very dramatic. Every morning for a year he would say, "I have drama today!" and the person who drives our carpool would say, "You are drama". Everyday. As an older sister, I believe it is my job to not only protect him from bullies (Do you want a piece of me? I have a very large textbook! Yeah, I didn't think so!), but to also be bossy like all big sisters should be. The other day, through an amazing incident involving a birthday invitation and an alphabetical-ized list of invitees from a mutual friend, I realized not only am I older than him, I am also alphabetically superior. Thank you Cody! I think that gives me the right to be as

Pie...

Pie is a beautiful thing. Throughout the generations, my family has refined the art of pie making. Yes, it is an art form. It's also delicious! Twice a year my family gathers for a pie extravaganza (Okay, we actually gather for General Conference, and the pie just happens to be there) and everyone makes pies. This last extravaganza had more than 16 pies. There were so many people in my grandma's house that you could barely move! Every year we have to make more pie because every year there are more and more people! There is so much pie that we eat leftovers for weeks. The pie is so amazing that we all take pictures and post them on Instagram. There is so much pie, that it takes more than a week of cooking just to make all of them. Recently, my grandma's aquatic aerobics class (which is a fancy name for pool yoga) had a party and my grandma was asked to bring pie. She went a little overboard. She made 8 pies. There was so much leftover that she had an after party a
