Lets make this together

While looking through my Mom's recipe book I came across a very interesting recipe, it made me laugh.

Elephant Stew

1 Elephant

2 c. salt

1 c. pepper

20 gal. water

15 pkgs. brown gravy

cut elephant into one-inch cubes, frequently adding pinches of salt and pepper (this will take approximately 72 days).  Add enough water and brown gravy to cover.  Cook over a kerosene fire about 4 weeks at 456 degrees.  If more then 3, 800 are expected for dinner, two rabbits may be added, but do this only if necessary because most people do not like to find hare in their stew.

*I can make copies if you want the recipe*

This is my future

I laughed so hard when I saw this.  I only hope when I am old and wrinkly my grandchildren will care this much.

Little Old Road

*inspired by my favorite street light*

There is a light,

a very simple light.

He might not think he's worth much,

this light.

He stands alone on his little old road,

shinning down on a little path you can go.

His tall wood pole,

and little lamp head

hide himself in a beautiful pine tree bed.

There's a little hole in his pine tree home

and he peeks his head out as if saying,

"I'm here all alone."

But this little light here

he's not really simply at all.

His purpose might be a lot more deeper.

His little head is a rest stop for a bird on a journey,

or a shelter for a squirrel he'll keep company.

He can lead the way down his little old road,

or comfort a kid who is lost and alone.

I told you once and I'll tell you again,

this light is not simple,

he is a beautiful bright friend.

And he has made a difference,

on his little old road.

When did I grow up???

This video is brilliant, and I absolutely love it!  Doesn't it bring back memories of countless hours playing pretend.  The beautiful princess lost in a forest and saved by her handsome prince, or the brave astronaut making the dangerous trip to the moon, or the crazy pretend lands any child's imagination can create, or how just the face that when you close you eyes and open them again your blanket fort has transformed into the most spectacular tree house.  Really the possibilities were endless.  All you had to do was walk through that "door" and you were in the most amazing place your  mind could imagine.....

ya I miss those days sometimes 

I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've live to tell

I was just playing around on itunes, like a do a lot, trying to find some new music and I came across Priscalla Ahn.  I was hooked by the first song I heard.  This song sent shivers up my spine.  You should all give it a listen. And check out her other song's as well.  ENJOY!!!!

Let me riddle you a ditty, it's just an itty bitty, little thing on my mind.

What kind of candy gets the giggles?

-Laffy Taffy

How does a dinosaur come out of a pool?

-wet

What did the horse say when he fell over?

-help! I have fallen over and I cant giddyup

What do you call twin brothers?

-A sunset

How do you get a peanut to laugh?

-you crack it up

What did the tree say to the mountain?

-stop peaking at me

What did the finger say to the thumb?

-I'm in glove with you

There she goes, there she goes again

She laughed when there was no joke. 

 She danced when there was no music.

She had no friends, yet she was the friendliest person in the school.

In her answers in class, she often spoke of sea horses and stars, but she did not know what a football was.

She said there was no television in her house.

She was elusive.  

She was today. 

 She was tomorrow. 

 She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl.  

We did not know what to make of her. 

 In our minds we tried to pin her to a corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.

*Don't you just want to meet this girl*

This post gonna make me famous!

Once upon a time there was a girl...

The End!

The rain

Sunshine hides away from the world,

as the clouds cover up the light.

The sky is filled with dark clouds, 

and the gloomy day begins.

Animals take cover away from the world,

neighborhoods lay still as children hide away in homes.

The sound of laughter and double dutch songs leave the air.

The world lays in silence awaiting the storm.

The smell of rain fills the air

as the rain falls to the ground, 

covering the world in a flood of wet streets.

Leaving a trail of the rains journey on every window.

I sit on the porch watching the rain fall,

enjoying the peace it brings to the world.

Flashes of lightning fill the air,

turning the sky to day before darkness surrounds me again.

The crack of thunder awakes the world for a moment bringing fear.

I sit her in silence enjoying Gods creation.

The song of a bird lets me know the storm is over.

Children run from houses ready to explore the new world.

The sound of laughter fills the air again, 

as children jump from puddle to puddle.

The trees glisten in the sun as it comes out of hiding.

The storm brings along a rainbow

filling the sky with its beauty

letting me know there will always be peace at the end of a storm,

always a new day, 

always a rainbow.

Ending one of my favorite things

with Gods most beautiful creation! 

IT'S ALL IN THE MUSIC!

If I were a song I'd be in just the right key.  I'd be all the best instruments in sweet harmony

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar.  They're worth so much more after I'm a gonner

So why do I get so lonely, when there really ain't nothing wrong.  I guess the company of strangers is better then being alone

You put the happy in my ness, you put the good times in my fun

If you ever need a lift to heaven you can take my stairs

But I'm telling myself I'll be okay even on my weakest days I get a little bit stronger

I'm no super man, I hope you like me as I am.

He made a rebel of a careless mans careful daughter

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket, save them for a time when your really gonna need them

Oh happily every after, wouldn't you know ,oh, skip to the ending who'd like to know? I'd like to know.  Author of the moment can you tell me do I end up happy.

I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer.  I'm busy getting stronger

I have tried to hide all my thoughts so long.  Maybe now I'll finally speak

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing.

But I don't lose my head, cause it ain't really up to me

And I'm doing just fine I'm always landing on my feet

I just want to be strong at the end of the road

I ain't gonna stress because the worst ain't happen yet

I wanna free fall out into nothing, oh, I'm gonna leave this, this world for a while, I'm free falling

I got troubles oh, but not today cause they're gonna wash away!

This is just a little something fun I put together, it means nothing, although you can interpret it how ever you want.  Although, I did realize after I put it all together that it does have a little meaning to me.  But really its just a bunch of gibberish, (my favorite lines from songs I like put together.)  I find myself writing all my favorite lines down when I listen to music.  Its just something I like to do.  I have papers filled with them.  But I hope you all enjoy it and realize that all your troubles will wash away{thank you Joe Purdy} because mine sure have, and well I am a little bit stronger! 

No words come to mind but...

Simply beautiful!

The best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends

Never-and I mean never- underestimate the value of a woman friend.  Yes, sometimes you sure can't live with them, but, in all honestly, you can't afford life without them-at least not well.


Female friends can be one of the most valuable assets another woman can have because they help us cope with gravity, other relationships and our world when it seems to be falling apart at the seems.  Women do lunch, the Macarena and the impossible.  Female friends help women lower blood pressures, cholesterol, and heart rater.  They are like all green lights on the way to work, being in the fastest line in the grocery store, seeing an old rival who doesn't look half as good as you do and jeans that really fit.  This is because female friends are tailor-made for our lives.


Women who are friends with other women help each other laugh at being dysfunctional, obsessive compulsive, and neurotic, because basically they are too.


Female friends bring us joy, happiness and laughter.  Friends soothe, calm and help us find peace.  They help make us happy, strong, humble, human, glowing, growing and live a wonderful life.


Friends help make long days seem shorter, put a smile on our face in the most grave situations and help us believe almost anything is possible.  We get by with a little help for our friends.


Female friends are both silver and gold.  Good friends are here today and here tomorrow.  There is nothing better then a good friends-unless, it is a good friends with dark chocolate.  There is wonder and joy in having and being a friend, so reach out and remember that being one is just as important as having one.  

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

    So my mom showed me these pictures and I thought they were so cute.  This mother creates scenes (or dreams) around her baby when she is asleep.  So I thought I would share them with you.

Think warm thoughts...

I just want to be sitting in one of these chair's watching the sun set-

Excuse me my nerd is showing...

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

...ok but I am not ashamed to admit I thought of this...

Mischief Managed

Why do I...

Late at night 

Midnight movie 

Got, no one to talk to, no one to see 

And I am, counting stars 'cause I lie awake dear 

I know you ain't far, I know you ain't here 

With Me 

So why do I get so lonely 

When there really ain't nothing wrong 

ok I only wish I had written these words, but I do recommend you girls check this song out, it's sweet as! Its called 
"Why do I" by Joe Purdy.  I too like Hannah already am haveing withdrawals from you girls.  At least you have school to keep you busy. Oh and I grabbed a bunch of tickets for free ice skating at Peaks on January 14th if you all want to go.  It's with the Institute! Should be fun!  


p.s. I just really liked this picture.       

"When I'm nervous I sparkle things!"

On an eve before school, the aroma of nail polish, remover, and q-tips fill the air! Scooch, Slick, and Guru sparkled all the night long. Fingers, toes, and paper scraps were covered with pinks and purples, gold flecks and silver shimmers! Alas, the evening must eventually come to an end as it is 11:54 P.M. and we have plans to arise early, 5 A.M. to be exact. Farewell young bloggers!
