Dress Shopping

Like most girls I love shopping, especially dress shopping. There is something so thrilling about looking at dresses. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not a girly girl! I love camping, hiking, running, rolling in the mud, playing outdoors, etc. My sister and I spent our childhood playing dolls. But our dolls didn't just host tea parties. They would host tea parties and then go repelling. We would tie a rope around their waists and off the roof they'd go :) We had a lot of fun. Our dolls might not be in the best shape anymore but they were the most loved I'm sure.
So I love looking at dresses and I even like wearing them, so long as its no more then three times a month. And three times a month is like Sunday dresses. Really formal dances and stuff should only be once a month, if that. Despite not wanting to wear them all the time, I always want to buy them. When I walk down the street past little shops, I see the dresses calling out to me. Blue ones, green ones, black, sundresses, mexican style, flowing, greek-like, the whole shebang. I just love them :)
So really this blog has no point to it, I just happened to see some pretty dresses and decided to blog a bit about how much I like dress shopping.

How to Make a Sandcastle Cake

Sandcastles look good and ice cream tastes good so when you combine the two you get a super good ice cream cake that looks like a sandcastle!
First a list of ingredients:
Vanilla Ice Cream. You should probably but a two gallon thing because that means more ice cream and more ice cream is always good. :)
Cinnamon.
Sugar. Lots and lots of sugar.
Candies! Get creative. Usually Swedish Fish and Gummy Worms but whatever you can find to decorate your sandcastle with.
A CLEAN!!!!! sandcastle mold. You may need more then one depending on how many people you are planning on serving.
Space in your freezer. This is usually a lot harder than it sounds.

Okay here we go!
Step 1) Place your ice cream in the fridge for aproximately one hour so that it becomes soft and pliable.
Step 2) Cram the now softened ice cream into the molds. Make sure it is packed very tightly. *It is a good idea to put some cinnamon sugar into the mold before putting the ice cream in. This will make it easier to get the ice cream out of the mold.
Step 3) Place in freezer and wait at least two hours preferably longer.
Step 4) Get a washcloth very hot, but not soaking and thaw out the mold. Continue doing so until you can gently shake out the castle. This is the hardest part. You might not get it on your first try which is why you should make more than one castle. If neccesary you can use a knife to ease out the ice cream but this may distort the sandcastle shape. *Take your time!
Step 5) Sprinkle cinnamon sugar all over the castle. Freeze over night.
Step 6) It's party time! Decorate the cake and add new cinnamon sugar. Return to freezer. Half an hour later and its ready!. Eat quickly :)

This particular photo is a sandcastle cake I made for a school project. It is a delicious representation of the Island from William Golding's "The Lord of the Flies"

Shuffle it up!

I really love techno/electronica/dance music. My boyfriend has made me a couple different playlists which makes it all a lot of fun. Some of my favorite artists are DJ Tiesto, Kaskade, and Cascada. Although I really like a couple of Bassnector's songs. So here is a short sample of some awesome music.

Hope you enjoyed!I got all the videos from Youtube.

Christmas Tree Adventure

Everyone knows that Christmas season starts as soon as Thanksgiving ends. Really, the day after Thanksgiving we wake up and think, "Oh I need to get a tree". This might be a side effect from eating so much food..or maybe we just don't want to get let down after having enjoyed one small holiday. However you choose to look at it, it happens.
Now this strange phenomenon happened in my household. We woke up Friday morning and thought, "Christmas!". Unfortunately nothing happened on Friday or Saturday. By Sunday we were getting a little anxious, at this rate we might miss Christmas all together! So we had to take drastic measures.
Now, I live in a small city. In another country. And this particular city does not have a Wal-mart. Or at least it did not have one until last Friday. For some reason, this Wal-mart had Christmas trees even though no other stores have them out yet. (This particular country isn't huge on Christmas trees. In fact, that whole strange phenomenon I was talking about is very American). So because we were in danger of missing Christmas, my family decided to go to Wal-mart and get ourselves a tree.
We circled in the traffic before the parking lot for about half an hour. Playing Christmas music all the while. we were very festive. As soon as we parked, we jumped out and ran into the store. My mom went straight for the line. My sister and I went to go get the ticket stub for the tree and my father and brother got some donuts.
About two hours later we bought our items and went outside for the tree. For some reason the tree guy was not around. He showed up with a nice big tree and proceeded to make a stand for it. 30 minutes later he handed that tree over to some other families and got started on ours.
Yeah, you get the picture. Well we did get our tree and decorated it the next day. I think it was worth it. Do you?

How to Write a Good Book Title

So here I am in a VERY small library looking around at the different book titles. There are boring titles such as The Race for Rome by Dan Kurzman and there are wierd titles like Bless This Mouse by Lois Lowery. I mean bless a mouse? Does that scream read me to you? Maybe if you really liked mice...
So how does one go about picking a great book title? Follow these simple steps and you can write a best-selling title in no time at all.
First keep in mind that a title needs to be catchy but not way far out. It still has to somehow relate to your story. Okay so here we go.
Step 1) Have someone mentally say their ABC's. Tell them to stop and whatever letter they stop at will be your letter. Example:
My Boyfriend- (in his head) A, B, C, D, E, F.
Me-(interupting his thoughts) STOP!!!!!!!
My Boyfriend: Your letter is F.
Me: yeah! :)
Okay you get the picture.
Step 2) Now think of something in your book that starts with that letter. Example:
My story was about a depressed girl who gets candy and lives under a double rainbow and is never depressed again. My letter was F. So my word would be Freckles, because the girl has freckles.
Step 3) Now pick you bestest most favoritest adjective in the whole world. BUT! If your book is sad it needs to be your favorite sad adjective, if it is happy, the happy one and so forth. Example:
Fantabulous...So now I have Fantaboulous Freckles.
Step 4) Not done yet! To finsh your title switch words around and if you need to add something to get a better picture do it. Make sure the words are not in normal order. Example:
Do not write Fantabulous Freckles Under The Rainbow. Instead write Freckles Under The Rainbow Fantabulous!
Step 5) Underline it. Now you have a title! Now finish the book. Example:
Freckles Under the Rainbow Fantabulous!

Update on Me

Amazing surprises happen! So about three and a half weeks ago I found out that Colorado College, my top college choice, was going to pay for me to fly out and visit the campus. I was super stoked! My mom was already flying up in a week and a half and so I got tickets to match hers. So for the rest of that week I worked my tail off and got two weeks ahead in school. Then on November 1st we were Colorado bound.

I love Colorado! It is probably my favorite place on earth. which is saying a lot. (I have lived in many beautiful locations) Anyway back to my narrative... I stepped off the plane, did some customs stuff and jumped into the arms of my boyfriend :) My mom borrowed a car from a friend and went to my grandparents and me and my boyfriend went up to my hometown Bailey. I surprised a friend of mine in King Soopers and ate cake and cookie dough ice cream .

Next day! Went to my old high school and surprised some more of my friends. Later I went down to Denver, watched Courageous (very good movie) and got dropped off at my grandparents. The next evening i went to the WinterJam with one of my friends. RED, Newsboys and some others were playing. Very cool :) 

I did other cool things, hung out with friends, went sledding, ate foods, a little bit of shopping, etc. John and I went ice skating and saw an Avalanche game. That was fun, although we lost...again. I went to my home church and saw all my friends from there.

Of course I also went to Colorado College. That was very fun. I applied early decision so if they let me go, I´m going. I´ll find out if I´m accepted in December. So I will keep you posted.

After Colorado College I did a few last minute funess such as; frisbee golf, raquetball, sushi, 500 Days of Summer, chai, fire station tour (BF is training there), peppermint hot chocolate and more cookie dough ice cream.

Now I am back and will get right back to my blogging. 

Get them Zs

Some people can sleep just about anywhere. Specifically people like Elfantasmita22. He can drop down and catch a few winks of sleep anytime anywhere. Take for example our beloved Doctrine class. This kid has had to stand up for the entire class because he was SNORING!!!!! Once or twice he voluntarily stood up, knowing he would fall asleep as soon as he sat down. To be able to sleep like that is astounding. No need for quiet, no need for dark. No need to even lie down. Just give him somewhere to semi rest his head and he'll be out.



I got this from this website.


It was Elfantasmita22's birthday this past Saturday and to celebrate a bunch of guys slept over at his house and they did a bunch of guy things like play Call of Duty and watch 300. So anyway these guys told me that at some point in the night/morning. Elfantasmita22 said he was tired and was going to go to sleep. Poof! Just like that he was fast asleep. Crazy huh?

The whole phenomenon of sleep and how to get the most of it amazes me. So any of you guys who are insomniacs, or just plain can't sleep very well I suggest you shoot Elfantasmita22 a message and ask him for some tips. Either that or you can repeatedly bang yourself in the head until you get knocked-out. Your choice.

Snapshot

Snap here. Snap there. Andre and his camera are extensions of one another. It is as though his camera portrays the uniqueness of his life. Like the photos he takes, each moment is a snapshot. He uses his camera to capture that moment. Keep it there, don't forget. Serious moments. Like the first day of school, going to the village, sharing the gospel with friends, youth group. Silly moments. Like conversations about flirting, winning at Knockout, eating baked goods, laughing about inside jokes. Each of these moments are captured. Either in the memory or on the film. Nothing will escape forever. Sure he will forget somethings, and others will have a lasting impression. But his camera, that extension of himself will always be at hand.
Looking back through old snapshots. Life keeps moving. The snapshots help him remember and remind him of the future. Its his senior year. This is it. he and his camera are going to hit the school hard. Things will change, traditions might be broken. It's a waiting game to see if it is all for the better. Memories sometimes fade, but a picture can last forever.

The photo is Andre's.

College Rant

College is a royal mess. Applying and finding scholarships and everything else that goes with it can be so annoying. This becomes especially true if you happen to have attended a different high school for every single year! And it gets more difficult when each of those high schools is from either a different country or a different state. Let me explain. College applications tend to ask for things like teacher recommendations, school counselor recommendations, proof of schools, transcripts and addresses. When you have never had a teacher for more than one year, its hard to find someone who is willing to write a good letter. When your current school does not have a counselor that problem gets bigger. Anyhow it becomes a huge mess. Doesn't even matter that you have good grades and cool background. Okay so it does matter and I am venting here but hey! What does it matter?
So here is how you can avoid all these problems.
1) DO NOT CHANGE SCHOOLS EVERY YEAR!!!!!!!!!
2) Keep good record of all your transcripts and make sure they are correct( My freshmen years grades got skewed once and we didnt find out til my junior year)
3) Save all your big tests. That is AP, ACT and or SAT.
4) Write more then one essay and pick the ones you like best. If you write more then one you will find out that some ideas are better than others.
5) Make sure your junior year is fantastic. DO NOT SLACK OFF your junior year!!!!! Colleges take junior year very seriously. Its the most important year of high school. Take hard classes and do good in them.
6) Know what your favorite coleges want. Some colleges require you to take all the core subjects every year. This is something you would want to know.
7) Keep looking and praying. God will provide. Just because college is expensive does not mean you have to go head over heels in debt.
8) One last thing, you do not have to go to college. It might not be the right thing for you. Make sure and pra about it. College should not be something you do just because everyone told you to.

People Are _______

Two years ago El Klutzo suffered a severe near-case of  pneumonia. His doctor ordered him to suck on a cough drop during his classes. For reasons unknown El Klutzo decided to suck on one corner of the cough drop until it was sharpend to a pinnacle. He then proceeded to poke his finger repeatedly with the sharp edible object. After a short period of time blood began to ooze out of his finger. El Klutzo began to pierce the air with blood-curdling screams. Oddly enough, his blood did not curdle but continued oozing. His classmates laughed, he got reprimended and the day was finished.
 The next year El Klutzo was once again enjoying cough drops. His classmate Aradan reminded of that fatal day. El Klutzo denied the possibility of history repeating itself. He claimed it was a "freak accident". To prove his point he began poking himself repeatedly with the cough drop. Unsurprisingly he started to bleed. He looked sheepishly at his finger while his classmates roared with laughter.
Tune in next year to hear the same story...again.

The Old Nemesis Returns

Galumpher loved to play. He was like an angel; the cute, innocent, little boy. Galumpher was always on the go. He and his friends would spend their days running through the town playing silly running games. Galumpher always had fun. In his mind he was unbeatable. Sure his friends might win some games, but he could never be bested. He was in control. Until one day.



From this website

 The fatal day rolled around like every other day. Galumpher was running with his friends, enjoying life and its simplicity. As Galumpher rounded the corner he ran into something quite unexpected. Literally ran into it. The clothesline. The clothesline stood its ground and Galumpher found himself lying, bleeding, and staring up at a sky divided by a thin line. He had found his match. After some tears, hugs and blood, Galumpher got up, went home and after his face healed forgot about the incident. The clothesline was forgotten.

From this website

Years later, Galumpher was growing up like every other boy. He now went to school like a big boy and had another enemy called homework whose unwanted presence often interrupted his fun. But in all Galumpher still believed he was in control. Until his past caught up to his present.
Galumpher was playing basketball with his friends. He was running happily along after the ball when suddenly it happened again! Galumpher looked up through one eye and saw the sky divided by a thin line. His face was bloody, swollen and uncomfortable. His other eye didn't seem to be working. Galumpher had met his old nemesis. The clothesline beat him once again.

Skittles

My locker opens into another dimension. Do I need to worry about this?

You know what really puts a spring in my step? Jet packs

Never take a cyclops to a 3D movie unless you want to hear about what a rip-off it is for two hours.

There’s a first time for everything except déjà vu.

I guess I need a dragon-proof bird feeder now. Stupid dragons.

It’s hard to keep a superhero identity secret when your cape is dry clean only.

One of these days the fire hydrant is going to get back at my dog, and it’s not going to be pretty.

True fact: Tyrannosaurs have small hands to help them get into prehistoric cookie jars.

Robot, ninja, pirate is the real-life version of rock, paper, scissors.

My new submarine cost an arm and a leg, which is cheap if you buy from an octopus.

I finally finished my life-size jigsaw puzzle of the Earth. You've probably seen it.

Time is on my side, but neither of us is very good at basketball.

When life gives you lemons, make abstract lemon art. Life won’t expect that.

The key to throwing yourself a surprise party is planning really far in advance, or not at all.

Girl Saves School From Certain Death

Music explodes into the air. Not sweet melodious music that people listen to but ugly offkey annoying sound that disguises itself as music. Everyone groaned. The music continued to blare. It was getting worse. We couldn't stand it. Students were banging their heads into walls, staring stupidly into space, moaning pathetically and generally sinking into a pit of despair so deep and evil that even The Princess Bride could not compete.

Who would save them? If someone didn't do something soon the consequences would be devastating. Some of the students were chewing off their hands! Others had taken to stuffing their ears with dirt clods. Parents were not going to be happy, the school might have to get shut down!
Suddenly January Galaxy had an idea. She too had been a part of the head slamming people but when the blood trickled down her face and she could still hear the music she decided it was time to take action. She quickly gathered her forces. One Ipod...check, one speaker...check, a microphone....check, a group of followers...check, some assistants...check, a rockin' outfit....no check, Oh well not neccesary, polos are cool too.
January gathered all her stuff, hooked the Ipod to the speaker and blasted Own It, by The Black-eyed Peas. She and her assitants air rocked that song to its death. The applause was astounding. January had to autograph bellybuttons and arms. The crowd was in a fever. But best of all, the horrendous so called music was forever silenced. The Battle of the Bands was over and January conquered them all.

Lucky Charms & You

I LOVE Lucky Charms. What genius came up with the idea of cereal and marshmallows? I owe him so much happiness and pleasure. And then he only completed his genius creation by making the marshmallows shaped as little pieces of luck. Hearts and Stars and Rainbows, Clovers and Blue Moons, Pots of Gold and Horseshoes and the Red Balloons.  Okay so unfortunately there are now Hourglasses instead of Pots of Gold but it still works.
So what marshmallow are you? I have created the folowing quiz so that you can learn for yourself. I know most of you are bored for certain periods of your life so I wanted to help you waste your time by making this quiz for you. (My quiz will include hourglasses and pots of gold)

Compository List of You.

Beautiful, almost unnatural

Tears form in her eyes.

Like a nerd who is factual,

all I hear are sighs.

What is this beauty?

How did an awkward phase

transform into his duty?

It is like a maze.

A six-pack like no other.

Never to be seen.

Glad he's not her brother

Glad he isn't mean.

A woman on each side

It's all thanks to these.

Why else would they abide

unless he gave them cheese.

Jumping beans, this is for you

and your lovely abs.

Written by your friend named Sue

and her faithful lab.

Intruth it was the lot of them.

All those silly girls

When asked what they thought of him,

they only rolled thier curls.

Blue, blonde, funny, ears

This is what they said:

So now to you; a cheer

For the face thats on your head.

A letter to you

The following paragraph is a letter which contains several song titles. Some are easy and some are harder. I had my Ipod on shuffle :) There are 25 songs. See how many you can find and put them in the comments. There some repeats of artists.

Who ever knew we would have a last kiss? I curse the day I threw that grenade, I cannot breathe when thinking about it. You belong with me, not in Death's slow grasp. I am the right one for you. You smile like you mean it, but deep down you are confused. When in doubt, go! I wanna send you away, but You will forever and always be mine. The book of days has sealed our fate. You are like an enigma, always baffling me. You say you are into Jesus, but then you turn around and do something extraordinary. Hey mama, why don't you stay. Sing me a lullaby, remind me that it is in God we trust. I am made of glass and you like a neon tiger shatter me. You destroy my ecstasy and then take a bow. I want to knock you out and go. But you are in me. Perhaps like the yacht club we will one day see ourselves as everybody's fool but in the meantime let us dive into the middle of our relationship.
Sincerly yours.

Murderous Geeks

Aradan grabs his weapon. He grins evilly as he slaughters my tongue with a knife. I smile knowingly as I get revenge by grabbing the sword and saving my tongue. "Ha! That won't stop me", he laughs maliciously as he pours out deadly virus. I grin and combat the virus with a ginormous white blood cell. A giant wad of gum sucked up the blood cell. A fat gross boy ate the gum. A health inspector arrested the boy. Suddenly a one ton weight fell from the sky. Luckily it had a chain, unfortunately the chain had a kink. However, the inspector was saved by a super pillow on his head. Unfortunately right before the weight hit the wind blew the pillow off of his head. The inspector saved himself by grabbing a portkey shaped like a boot. Unfortunately the portkey was not plugged in. Luckily it had batteries. However a large amount of C4 was right beside it. So a super force field was placed around it saving the portkey but the field ended by the inspector and the force of the bomb would explode him. And on and on and on. Ductape Man, Batman, Pig Robot, Despicable Me, english teachers and more brought the game to an end by eventually destroying all lifeforms with an atomic bomb.

And that is what we learn while attending that building affectionately known as school.

Consecutive Decision

Well seeing as this is my blog, I took a consecutive and decided to write a blog about each of my dear classmates on their 'special' week. You as a non-fellow classmate reader have no idea what i'm talking about so let me carefully explain it to you, although there aren't many of you. Each week in one of our classes we elect a student of the week. This student is supposed to get some sort of special treatment but usually nothing different happens. So my contribution will be blogs about them. The blogs will still be enjoyable to read. Example, my blog "I promised" was one of these. See its pleasurable to read so don't freak out and stop reading my blog. Please! I will still have other random blogs as well. Anyhow i thought I'd raise your awareness.

Space and Bologna.

We are too far gone, there's no way we can get back down to earth. Our spaceship is hurtling lightyears away.
Oh no! Our ship has got fire! We are being pulled back into the atmosphere!
It's okay I got us, we will crash land safely and then get focused.
STEER!!! You're heading for the North Pole! AAAHHH John look now we are sinking into the depths of the ocean. Your steering skills need some improvement.
What?! You are so full of it, I was distracted by you. Sheesh.
I distracted you?! Huh huh rigt you are so full of bologna. Wait not bologna I hate bologna makes me vomit. You are so full of turkey!
Turkey? What in the world?
Okay fine you can be ham then. Or roast beef.
Well I do like roast beef.
Yeah but it's too long, what about turkey breast, thats the best kind of lunchmeat.
M______, look we're back in space again and this time it is totally your fault.
Fine, our spaceship blew up now how are we going to get back to earth?
*Skype freezes*

So this was a little convo that my boyfriend and I had last night. I thought it was semi funny and I really wanted to write about John on my blog without getting too sappy and so I figured this is a good way to do it. :) The whole conversation was us attempting to refocus so that we could read our Bible study. In the end I had to turn off Skype and call him on the phone ;) If you thought this was dumb don't comment and go get yourself a boy or a girl, you'll appreciate it much more.

Plastic Cups and Cookies

"Hey so I think that.."
"No we should"
"Hey shut up!"
"You shut up"
"Your face!"
"Guys focus"
"Come on"
*bell rings*
The crowd of teenagers swarm out of the room and head for their lockers. A few stay behind in silent frustration. "So what did we decide?" "Nothing" "Thats what I figured."
The four gather up their stuff and run towards their lockers.
It's September 2011 and the junior/senior class just held their first meeting. Every year the junior/senior class organize fundraisers in order to raise money to go on an end of the year beach trip. This year's class is the biggest yet. 18 students need to raise at least 200 dollars each in order for this trip to be made possible. Think about it, thats aproximately 4000 dollars. To be raised in one year, in a land where no one can get any sort of job.
Next week:
"Does anyone know what this is?"
"Hey pass the knife"
"How much do these cookies cost?"
"I think its 2 for 5 or 5 for 10"
Hey I said does anyone know what this is?
"brown cake?"
"whatever"
"Give me some change"
" AAAAHHHH"
"what?"
Chaos. That word defines our class. Actually that word defines the juniors. The seniors are a very small class and quite responsible and organised. Those four people who stayed behind, yeah those were seniors. Anyways, a bakesale was held. Despite the chaos things went quite succesfully. We made soe money sold almost everything(with the exception of that "brown cake" turns out it was banana bread) And how do we get rewarded? With ANOTHER meeting. This one however, was with the parents. dun dun DUN! (this was andre's version of a drumroll) So parent meeting. Graaaah! frustration to an extreme it lasted close to half an hour and nothing was accomplished as usual.
Well thats the story. Im open to suggestions as to how this will all end. So far I'll have got is either a) The get the money and everyone is happy b) A zombie attacks and murders them all c) the person writing the blog will kill them all off one by one. d) only the seniors will go and just leave the juniors to fend for themselves

I promised

Okay so this blog is exactly why you shouldn't promise people things unless you really want to do whatever it is you promised. See I promised a white friend of mine that I'd write a blog about him. Luckily he gave me something to write about. Here goes:
Picture the scene, twilight on a busy road in a small city in Mexico. Cars rush by and a few people are seen walking along the road, side-stepping puddles. Then out of nowhere a white kid is seen walking along. He might as well have a sign saying "come and get me". Okay so he really does know how to walk around Mexico but it is hard to hide your glowing skin. So the boy goes down the road when he suddenly finds himself surrounded by four guys on motorcycles. The thugs get off their bikes and walk up to him. They start patting him down searching for valuables. White kid slugs one of them, a violent struggle ensues, eventually, the four overcome him. What do they get for their efforts? Not much. According to the white kid himself, "They took my purity!" Clarification, they got his ring which just so happened to be a purity ring, a brand-new Coca-Cola wallet, and some money. What did White boy get out of it? A sore side, a bruised hand, and a great story for me to write about.  Thanks :)

Is this what it comes to?

It's Tuesday. I have returned from that dreaded place we call high school and what have I done? Well lets see, I got back to my house at aproximately 3:00. I ate a snack and laid miserably on my bed. I called my boyfriend at 3:45, we talked til 5:20. (Don't judge me) I went to see when we would eat. I watched my father make hamburgers, I washed some dishes. I ate a hamburger. At 6:30 I started math homework. I then did english homework. I got on facebook, I exhausted that so I got on bustedtee.com. I looked at all their 10 dollar tees and shut off my computer. I tried playing a word game on my Kindle. I got back on the computer and googled fourteeners in Colorado. I plan to hike them all. I wrote out a list of them all with distance and level of difficulty. I looked at the clock. ONLY 9:00!!! How did my life get this lame? This is a hypothetical question which you as a reader cannot answer and I as your blogger cannot tell you because this is a class and I am not allowed to reveal certain things to you. Secrets that would allow you to stalk me. Sheesh why would you stalk me anyways? I can't be that interesting you just saw what I do with my afternoons.So the point of this blog is that you should only stalk interesting people.

A Recipe for a Derricious Morning

Okay so I might be a morning person and you might not be but you can easily modify the recipe for your own personal tastes.

Ingredients:
Alarm Clock
Dog or Cat
Tea
Sugar
Milk
Tennis Shoes
Workout Clothes
Bible

Step 1) Wake up to alarm clock no later than 7:30 (Again this is where you modify)
Step 2) Get a sloppy kiss from your dog(or angry meow from your cat) and be sure to return the favor by scratching behind his or her ears.
Step 3) Read at least one verse from your Bible
Step 4) Put on tennis shoes and workout clothes and go for either a) a run or b) a workout
Step 5) Prepare some hot water for your tea. Fill either a large mug or a thermos with the hot water. (A teacup is not recommended due to the small amount of yummy liquid it provides)
Step 6) Add tea bag to hot water.
Step 7) If using large mug add two small spoonfulls of sugar. (Use a small sugar spoon, the cute, little kind) If using a thermos add two heaping spoonfuls of sugar (same kind of spoon)
Step 8) Fill the remainder of the mug/thermos with milk.
Step 9) Enjoy your morning :)
