Fun and food

I dropped Anne off at the airport this morning. Its so weird realizing that I will not see her for a month. An entire month. That sucks. Its so weird how you become so close to some people so fast. It will be sad to not have her here.

On the other hand, I have a friend in town from Germany who I need to spend time with. Also, one of my friends will be in town from Austin, and I have a ton of other friends I have not spent time with in far too long. So, I'm super excited about quality time with each of these people.

Christmas Eve is Sunday. On Wednesday I am making Oreo Balls with the girl I babysit for so we can both have some for Christmas. They seriously are the best things EVER. So, I thought I'd share the recipe. Because i can, and they are amazing.




2 hour prep time:

1 package regular size Oreo cookies, crushed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 package white almond bark
1 package chocolate almond bark

Makes 25-35 walnut sized candies


1. Using a blender or hand held mixer, mix Oreos and cream cheese together.
2. Roll into walnut size balls.
3. Chill for an hour.
4. Melt approximately 3/4 package of white almond bark.
5. Stick a toothpick in an Oreo ball and dip it in the melted white almond bark.
6. Allow to harden on wax paper.
7. Takes about 15 min.
8. While waiting, melt about 1/4 package of chocolate almond bark.
9. When Oreo balls are no longer sticky to the touch, decorate with drizzles of chocolate and white almond bark. just use a sandwich bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner to drizzle the almond bark.

Eat and ENJOY!!!

Trying to pick myself up

I'm annoyed with myself. No really I am. I'm still not in a good mood even though I turned in my final exam at 8:30 and it wasn't due until midnight. I'm annoyed that I let her get to me so much...and annoyed that I didn't decide to move out at semester.

I went to dinner with Anne...and we had a blast. I had a couple beers, and I was in a better mood for awhile. Then I came back in the apartment and put a towel down by my door so it would look like my light was off when my roommate got home. Of course, I didn't think about the fact that my window goes out to the street. Pretty sure she didn't really look at that. But if she did, I'm glad she didn't talk to me when she got home.

Anyhow...I need to cheer up, so I decided to post more Europe pics, because they make me happy. I can't believe its been almost a year since I left for that trip...I only wish I was starting off 2007 that way...except that I love school, and as much as I complain about papers and finals...I love love love it. I'm a nerd. I accept this.

Anyhow...here are some pictures...I decided to do all Ireland Pics today...

This amazing waterfall and river that we saw during a tour we saw....Ring of Kerry maybe?!?

Another street scene! I love these. This one was is in...a city...uh...I wanna say it starts with a B, but i'm pretty worthless right now. I do have it written down somewhere, maybe I should look it up.
Cliffs of Moher...one of the most amazing places I've ever been.
who would have thought that there was a dangerous cliff edge by these giant drop offs?!? You mean its not safe to jump?!?
This was the cutest dog EVER. He was just chillin outside this little village we visited. He graced my computer wallpaper for awhile cuz he always makes me smile!

Hm...yeah, that definitely helped. It's the little things in life, isn't it?
