Tinker Bell

I would have to say that I am most like Tinker Bell from the Disney movie, Peter Pan. She is very resourceful and imaginative in her ways of fixing things up. For example, she uses a simple needle and thread to sew Peter Pan's shadow back on. I have always considered myself pretty resourceful and hard-working in the things that I do as well. Tinker bell is a fun and fearless fairy that is a loyal friend to everyone. I, too, consider myself to be a very fun and outgoing person that will try anything new. Some of my friends this year have introduced me to some really fun events that are new to me such as country dancing. I had an open mind and went along and had a great time! Tinker Bell also his somewhat hot-tempered at times. I have this hot-tempered personality at times... especially when I see my friends or family get hurt in anyway. At one point in the movie Peter Pan says something to offend Tink and her face goes really red and she gets embarassed! That fits me really well because I also get very shy, especially when I am in front of other people. After all, Tinker Bell is a true friend that you really have to get to know before you really know much about her. Plus, Tinker Bell has magic pixie dust that can help you fly and that is always a plus!

Potato Salad... That My Little Brother Made

Over Conference weekend I went home and instinctively went to the refrigerator to see what delicious something was awaiting for me to eat. There is always something better in my family's fridge than my poor fridge here at college. There sat some potato salad and because that is the only kind of potato salad that I like I decided to try some. So I whipped out the whole container and grabbed a fork and at a couple of bites right out of the tupperware. One or two bites into it there was something really different about it. It did not taste like it usually does. Just as I was about to turn around and ask my mom if she had done anything different that time my little brother popped into the kitchen and asked how it tasted, with a big smile on his face. He asked because he had made it and he was sure proud of it! I do have to admit that for a thirteen year old boy he did a pretty good job...

My First Attempt in making Homemade Rolls...

Last night I made homemade rolls, as you all know from eating them in class today:) haha. It was my first attempt ever to make rolls like my mom and it took me forever to make them and get them just right. I started making them a little after seven and didn't get finished until almost 1am. I had to call my mom three or four times during this whole process. For the first pan I wasn't sure how long to let them rise and so I called my mom and tried describing what they looked like so that she could make an estimate on how much longer I should let them rise. Well,
I had already put one pan in so I couldn't really do anything about those but I ended up letting the other pans rise another hour or two before I baked them. Anyway, it was a good experience and hey, now I know how to make rolls! Yay.
