Cucumbers!

It's been a while since I blogged :( But I am back! I have been really busy, not suprising.

Here's a quick and easy, delicious, tangy healthy snack. They're amazing. My Mom's Recipe!

Sweet Cucumbers

1 English Cucumber, thin sliced

1/3 Cup of Rice Wine Vinegar

1/4 Cup of Water

1/4 Cup Sugar

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Pepper

Take the Vinegar, water, sugar, salt & pepper and marinade the cucumbers 1 day before you are planning to eat them :)

That's it! How "sweet and simple" is that!

*Hi.*

You know, some people haven't been so nice to me today. Blogs, emails, school, wherever. I am really tired of it. And some of the names I have mentioned in my blog are sadly the people who ruin my day. I am just getting sick over the thought of the attitude changes and pivot points from day to day.

But, you always have to have the good news last to cheer you up, and keep you reading (a blog master's secret.. sshh..). I don't want you to close or minimize the window on me! The good news, well I really don't have anything exciting, although I do have to tell you something.

.. drumroll, please ..

TADA! Starting this week, every other post or so will have Quotes, Notes, and Goals for the day that you can accomplish from the amazing book of Today I Will. They will have specific dates that you will (try) to complete them on. Hope you will enjoy them!

Tonight is dance at 6.. but then I think I will be back to blog.

Here are two books I really recommend (got them at the book fair :))

1. The face on the Milk Carton

2. Today I Will

Enjoy my 2 List (books) for the night!

Waffles and trips. And the busy schedule.

* Hey Everyone! *
At the moment, I am making homemade, vanilla, light and fluffy Belgian waffles. YUM. And, I am eating a white chocolate wafer ( a sphere-UFO/mini looking chocolate round ). YUM.

We love to make delicious wafflies, put them in Ziploc plastic baggies, and freeze them for the week.. They last a long time! And they taste delicious! It's a tradition. But usually, we have parfaits in the morning for breakfast. Mmmm..

But anyways, today was a great day. I finally got the purse I wanted from FR! Mom mom bought it- thanks so much MM! I think you'll be reading this.. Friends on my blog: you will see it Friday for Washington!

Charging phone and camera for Friday, packing bag with sweatpants- supposed to be thunderstorms that are isolated, very few booms.. and some rain... but it will be fun no matter what!

Finally, going to the book fair tomorrow. I saw so many books I like but I will only get like 3 or 4. That's it.

Then I also got my 100 bucks back from dad ( I got it for my birthday.. ) so I will be bringing about 1.5 of that to DC to cover dinner, souvenirs and miscellaneous.

I am all ready for another crazy day at school. Yep. I am always organized and prepared. NOT! But most of the time. F Day tomorrow. Health- boring but sometimes a spark of interest shows in my expression!

To a great friend :)

I am pleased to say that I have one special friend who has been nice to me for a long time.

Yep, It's Maria! I haven't heard from her, because sometimes we get in little disagreements (not fights!), and we make up all of the time. We both have made up for all the craziness, and I hope to see her soon!

Love ya girl!

*Happy Mother's Day!*

May 9th- Mother's Day!

What did you do for your Mom? If you ask me, I did little things, but each of them made her feel special and appreciated.

My Dad gave her flowers, Eclat's Chocolate (the best chocolate on the planet- eclatchocolate.com -delicious chocolate shop in PA), new clothes from J. CREW. I gave her a card, a hug & *kiss*, thanks and a treat to brunch with close family members. Rae made her crafts because she's so unique, creative, and crafty :) Stella just loved her and was excited all morning.

Just another typical day at school... my blog posts have been becoming shorter and shorter, but I will make big long posts too.. School involves so many projects (DOING VERY WELL and MULTITASKING TOO!), good grades, and packets! At this point, I am drinking iced tea with mint slurping it up in a crazy straw.

The New Popular Stuff:

SillyBandz! Amazing! These adorable silcone-materialed, bright, colorful, uplifting rubber molds have been sold by the millions at this point. Stores are basically sold out all over the country! They are adorable to play with or even wear on your wrist as a little accessory. So cute for little kids (They enjoy them so much!), or even for middle-schoolers like me! Great accessory, and awesome party favor!
The person who made this is a gazillionaire!

Phillies Fan- Crazed, and tasered?!

A law enforcement officer and stadium personnel check on fan that was chased down after running onto the field before the eighth inning of a baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals, Monday, May 3, 2010, in Philadelphia. St. Louis won 6-3. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum) (Matt Slocum - AP)

PHILADELPHIA -- A police officer used a Taser gun to apprehend a fan who ran onto the field during a Phillies game Monday night, and the team and the police are investigating whether it was an appropriate use of force.
The fan, wearing a baseball cap, red T-shirt and khaki shorts, hopped a fence and scurried around the outfield, eluding two security officers in the bottom of the eighth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. One officer used a Taser and the fan went down in a heap. Several Phillies placed gloves over their faces and appeared to be stifling laughter at the wild scene.
Phillies spokeswomen Bonnie Clark said the police department is investigating the matter and discussing with the team whether using the stun gun was appropriate.
Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore told The Philadelphia Inquirer police internal affairs will open an investigation to determine if the firing "was proper use of the equipment."
Vanore was not made available to The Associated Press when a call was placed to the police department's public affairs office late Monday night.
The teams said it's the first time a Taser has been used by police to apprehend a spectator who ran onto the field.
The fan was 17-year-old male and he will be charged with criminal trespass and related offenses, the team said. The Phillies did not release his name because he is a juvenile.

Relaxing :)

*Finally, a time to rest :)*

We stayed at the party until quarter after eleven-ish last night. It was a blast.. We met all the people at the prom and they looked awesome! But then this guy/party-planner dude came over and was like "You have to leave- this is a private after-prom party". So we left and then like every 5 minutes we would take a bite of our food and a sip of our shirley temples and then ran back to the tent and spied- it was so much fun! This morning I went for an hour bike ride with Sopha.. to HF which is like an hour on bikes in 90 degree weather going up hills with a cellphone and waterbottle in hand. But I have done it about 10 times.. I will take a run tonight- WHEN IT'S COOL! But I am enjoying the weather myself. When Sophie left, my parents and I cleaned up the yard- picked weeds, trimmed and pruned the plants, watered the blossoms & orchids, sprinkler-ed the grass, put out new dark mulch, cut the grass and gave special care to our new beautiful flowers my mom went to get on Friday because she is off every Fri. Sounds like a lot of work but it was quick & easy- and I enjoyed getting a little tan glow! My Mom also got some new mints, herbs, and tomato plants for our italian pots on the deck.. There is peppermint, mint, french lavender, regular lavender, chocolate mint (OMG IT's THE BEST!!!!!), rosemary, basil, and sage. It smells wonderful.. Then we got Yellow Sugar Tomatoes and Cherry Tomatoes as well... We grew them last year and we were successful!

Now my Dad's like really close friend is over..

Question of the Post:

Do you like yard-work? Do you plant new plants and "spruce" up your green-growing-grass once in a while?

I will be writing another post shortly- adding some music to my blog so you can jam out while reading!

:) Smile- it's 90!
