Time to Catch Up!

Okay, I finally have some time to catch everyone up on what I've been up to! :) Christmas was really good, but we were snowed in! We ended up having steak for dinner, and are going to my grandparents tomorrow! I got a fish tank, and an iHome, along with a fifty dollar gift card! Okay, so i promised pictures of my haircut... and though they are late, here they are!

this one is just a regular front picture, so you can see the haircut


and you know me, i just had to edit some! So here are two more! haha



Okay, that is probably it, at least for now!

Yucky Weather

Weather is starting to cripple my Holiday plans! I hope that the roads get all cleaned off tonight so that tomorrow there is safe travel, for me and also all of those on the roads! Its hailing outside now, and the roads are getting even slicker! :( It feels like little air-soft pellets are hitting my bare face when I step outside... and yes, against my own pet peeve I had to do last minute shopping and of course along with the chaos of last minute shopping, I had the terrible weather threating the condition of the car I was so carefully borrowing from my mom! haha So, everyone say a little prayer for the roads to be clear and safe!

Merry Christmas Eve

Just an update day

Okay, so I just broke my goal to write every day, but let me tell you, its crazy around here! I have been running non-stop between christmas things, and concerts, and looking for a car! Its about 10 and though i wish i could write more, I really should go to bed now... i am really not feeling well!

Sleep tight world,
Tash

CHRISTMAS!

I almost forgot today's post in all the mess of the day! Yesterday night, I spent with Michael and his family at their ward Christmas party! I was in the pageant as the angel and i had 2 lines and a whole song all to myself! haha It went very well and I loved celebrating this wonderful season!! :)

On a not happy note, last night, well, this morning, I had a terrible nightmare where I watched Michael get shot and killed at a gas station. I woke up and was so upset. Michael, who had been having a sleepover promised to call when he went to bed, and guess when that was? About two minutes after I woke up! So he called, and due to it being so early in the morning and also being so scared, I cried like a baby! I am sure Michael was a little confused when I started bawling hysterically, but I was just so happy to hear his voice!

Today was quite a long day! I woke up and started my journey looking for a new car. Car number 1: not gonna work. :( I went to lunch with my family! GREEK FOOD! MMM my favorite! Then we went shopping for FOREVER! We bought tons of stuff for cooking candy which I am convinced will not be done by Christmas, but oh well! I also watched a movie with my mom as we ate Sonic for dinner, a treat we only get like twice a year! Lets just say it was a long awaited date with that Watermelon slush! haha Then I had my daily talk to Michael, we planned a little bit more details about my Christmas present! I'll leave you in suspense, reader, until the day! haha I am SO excited.

Monday I am getting my hair cut! YEAH! :) I am really excited! I'll be sure to post pictures!

For Now,

Nailing = NOT FUN!

I just finished unpacking all my stuff and decorating my room at home! I have limited minutes to get ready before I need to leave tonight, but I knew if i didn't blog now, I would forget when i got home tonight! As part of the decorating process I hung pictures all over the wall. This turned into a task quite frustrating when I figured out I failed at hammering! I nailed at least 6 nails straight into the wall! UGH! Anyways, time to go!

Just another day...

I made a goal today to write something every day. Today I made dinner, yes, world, ME! I woke up in a cooking mood. I made sausage for breakfast (okay, so what if it was in the microwave) and then i made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Tonight I made oven-fried chicken, pasta salad, and carrots! It was a huge success and my family loved it! :) I was pretty happy with myself! Thats one recipe down and tons to go if I hope to master cooking before I am married! :) Thankfully, I have 3 years left! haha I started looking for a new car today after the insurance company called and said poor Otis, my car, was totaled! :( I went to the body shop and used TOOLS to take off the license plate... then said goodbye to my baby! :( SO SAD!!! :( Also, I got some more Christmas shopping done! Still waiting on some to come in the mail, but i am beginning to get skeptical! :| The website wasn't very legitimate, and it was supposed to be here today at the latest, but my mailman gave saddening news today as I asked him if a package had come! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

For Now,
Tash

Today is one of those lazy days where all I feel like doing is drinking hot cocoa and sitting in bed. I do have a book I could read, but sadly, I am too lazy to go get it in the kitchen! HAHA So I have resorted my morning to listening to music and playing on my photo editing program. I intended to do something along the lines of a CD cover, and created this:

I'm not exactly sure if i love the color scheme, but it matches the blog, so i thought it would be okay! haha

I really have no random thoughts today, only a note that i use so a lot... if you dont think so look back on all of my blogs and how they start. I have decided to ban that word from the beginning of my blog from here until forever, so let me know, reader, if you ever notice my failure to comply with such goals.

For Now,

Julie and Julia

So... I just finished watching Julie and Julia, or whatever its called, and I almost felt bad for not blogging, but not only for not blogging, but for not blogging important things, things people actually want to read. I wish I could reach at least one person through writing, it truly is my second, okay, maybe third passion.

One: Music

Two: Chocolate

... and then of course writing.

I always wanted to be a writer, and if I may be a little narcissistic I think I am quite good at it. But, I always feel like I have nothing important to tell the world, at least not anything new. I mean, I know life's many lessons as well as the next kid on the street, but I feel as if I offer almost nothing new in this crazy world. Michael sent me a text, yeah, i know, really classy, Tashua, but anyways, he was talking about realizing secrets of the universe. He was talking about how happiness doesnt come from trying to always be happy, but from overcoming sadness and smiling anyways.

And as true as he is, I cant help but think that it isnt really a universal secret. What makes a universal secret? Surely not something so simple. Yes, it is something we all have to learn, but wouldnt that make it a universal knowledge, I mean is it really a secret if some people learn it? I think a universal secret would be the cure for cancer. And why people hurt the ones they love. Now that, my unknown reader, or readers, is something I would like to know.

Sure, time can really heal all hearts, but whats the surprise in that? This secrecy we all falsely think exist seems rather odd to me. Though i must confess that many times I have caught myself spreading these so-called "secrets of the universe," I dont quite understand. Anyways, isn't a secret something you wish to keep to yourself? Why would I want to keep to myself the "laws" we have set in place on this earth?

I guess this is all just my mind pondering trivial matters, but maybe thats what makes it so worth reading. Don't you think? I could write 5 paragraphs on my lunch today, but would anyone really care? By the way, It was SO good! :)

For Now,

Tash
