Tara!!!! Please send me you mailing info so that I can get your Larabars to ya!!! :D

Well, over the weekend, we pretty much stayed at home, which was really nice!!! We watched a couple of movies (Just Go With It and Public Enemies), played with our friend's Wii, and just basically had some family time!!!!! We also played with our cats....who are finally getting used to one another!!!  What did you do this weekend??

So, ya'll remember my lemon cream scones, right? The other day, I was thinking about what I wanted to bake. Everyone loves the cream scones, but I had made them a couple of weeks ago, and didn't want the same thing again. Sooo, I took some of my mom's jelly, split the dough in half, rolled one out really thin, spread jelly on it, and topped it with the other half of the dough. Then, I baked it the same way I usually do! We had strawberry lemonade scones, and they are sooo yummy!!!! I'll try to get a pic up soon!!! :D

Well, I had better get studying.....even though its Labor Day in the US, its not here, so I'm gonna work! What are your labor day plans?

Hey everyone!! Hope your week has been going really well!!!!! Don't forget to enter my very first giveaway, if you haven't yet!!! It'll end tomorrow at midnight, and I'll announce the winner on Monday morning!! :D

So we've been pretty busy this week. First, we've had to deal with our old, big, fat cat getting used to having a small kitten around the house, which has been pretty interesting. Then, I've had a couple of big school projects and tests this week, so I've been sort of studying like crazy. I'm definitely glad that today is Friday!!!!! I really hope that we just relax this weekend!!! Do you have any major weekend plans?? 


This morning, I had some fun with my dad! I got a free pass to the gym a few weeks ago, and today, he came with me!!!!! We spent 30 minutes on treadmills, chatting, and then did about 25 minutes of strength training. I've never worked out with anyone before, so it was really interesting. I originally thought that it would be weird, because I'm typically use my workout time to "zone out" and think about life, but I realized today that having someone to chat with really made it the entire thing go by so fast! While I definitely think that some days I'll want to workout alone, but now that I've had a "workout buddy" I'll definitely want to workout with a friend more often!!!! Also, having someone there with me motivated me to do some strength training (ugh!) which I probably really needed to do!! Do you prefer to workout alone or with a friend?


Well, I should probably go study now....I have a bio test to study for! hahaha See ya'll later!
