annoyance...
so i just got done sitting at a local tire joint for 1.25 hours. i watched two episodes of reba on the tv and battled falling asleep (thank you rice at lunch). the only thing that kept me from falling asleep was the creepy school janitor that was eating popcorn and staring at me everytime i looked over. creeeeeeeeepy! and i think the worker lied to me about what happened. i went in wed. and they "fixed" something and that's why i was back today. i'm annoyed. i could've been working out. i could've been cleaning my parents' house (i told them i'd help since pooh's gone and dad's been buying stuff for our cars). and now all i want to do is eat pizza and ice cream. how's that for great coping skills? steph, fawn, where are you? come to my rescue so i can drown my sorrows.......okay, i'm done.

guess what i found?...
FRUIT PIZZA
Crust:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
*Mix well. Grease pan (a pan with an edge works best, not a flat cookie sheet). Spread dough in pan, leaving 1/2 inch around the edges. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown, at 350 degrees. Cool.

Topping:
1 1/4 cup sugar
16 oz. cream cheese (the red. fat stuff works fine, too)
5 tbsp. fruit juice (can use juice from canned fruit)
*Mix well. Spread on cooled crust. Top with pineapple, mandarin oranges, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, kiwi, raspberries, mangoes, or any other kind of fruit. ENJOY!!
goodbye, pooh...
i said bye to pooh yesterday morning. i guess it was more like "see ya in a few weeks" since i'm going up to see her over labor day weekend (and melissa and fam!!), but it was still hard. i helped her pack all weekend and stayed the night with her monday night. we've always slept together before a big life change--the night before my wedding, the night before she moves from poky, you get the drift. it was fun to stay up late and have every possible minute with her before she moves 10 hrs. away. i know i'll see her often, but not often enough to go to dinner spur of the moment, run to walmart so she can get out of the house and we can bargain-hunt, or just watch some useless tv show together. i know it'll be good for her, and i'm praying continually for God's favor to be on her and for the Holy Spirit to be more real than ever in her life. i talked to her today and they moved into their apartment and were getting ready to go buy a cheap desk somewhere--the overestimating of the amount of stuff that could fit in the minivan has left her desk upstairs in the kitchen in poky. so far, the only thing she's asked me to bring when i go is her jack johnson nalgene bottle, not too bad.


p.s. melissa, i tried to call you last night to chat and to let you know pooh's in town, and couldn't get through on your home phone. would you mind e-mailing me your # and then i could also give it to pooh. thanks!:)

hello friends...
well, i was going to post some pics of our roomies, but can't find the cord to connect camera to computer. small problem. i was going to post the recipe for fruit pizza, but forgot to bring it from home and mom can't find it. so, these things will happen some day, i have not forgotten you!

i had a WONDERFUL weekend. went to boise with some friends and honestly haven't laughed that much in a year as i did over the weekend. as we were driving home, i was thinking, i think i have the best friends in the world. i hope everyone has what i have. i really am so blessed by the people in my life, and i know i take it for granted at times. i pray God will continue to remind me of my wonderful friends, and i pray i'm half the friend to others that my friends are to me. i think i'm going with pooh to get a tat today, if not today probably this week. if not today, i will be starting my new exercise regimen with the girls. God help me. well, next time i hope to have at least one of the two items you are all one the edges of your seats for:)
