Favorite Dish

I love breakfast foods. It's a tough decision between biscuits and gravy, chocolate chip pancakes, and a bacon and cheese omelet. Even though I have been trying to be good and haven't had any of these in a long time, I would say the one that gets my mouth drooling the most would be an ooey gooey bacon and cheese omelet. Cheese and eggs are horrible for you but so delicious. I never have made it but I can most certainly eat it. I love eggs, bacon and cheese. I like it plain and just like that. I don't really like peppers or onions. I can do salt and pepper but that is about it on the add-ons. I love it when it is nice and warm, right out off the skillet. Oh, you can certainly chop up some potatoes and put those in there.

I have never made this dish so I'm not sure on how to prepare it exactly. I don't know the oven settings or exactly how many eggs most people use but I'm going to guess. You will need to get your ingredients. Your ingredients for my perfect omelet would be eggs, bacon, maybe sausage, potatoes, pepper, salt, and that is about it. You will need to have three skillets going. I say three because I am very impatient and want it done fast. I will need my mom and dad's assistance, haha. One will be in charge of frying the egg. One will be in charge of frying the bacon and sausage. One will be in charge of cutting and frying the potato. Once, everything is cooked perfectly, we can now put it together. Someone should get the spatula and start throwing the meat and potatoes in. I am in charge of the cheese because there is a limit of too much and too little cheese. For omelets, I like to use shredded cheese over the squares. Then I wait about five minutes for the cheese to melt and the omelet to cool off. I can then grab my fork and knife and get ready to take over. I am pretty much starving now. Thanks a lot to this essay.

Lucky for me. Kayla buys the uncrustable peanut butter and jelly. Grape jelly is the choice of course. I will locate myself in front of the fridge and grab the fridge door. I then will pull the door open and grab the packaged uncrustable. I will then sit the sandwhich on the coffee table and let the sandwhich thaw for twenty minutes. After I let it sit, I then will rip open the plastic package and take a bite. :)

simple things

It is completely true when people say that it is the little things in life that mean the most. A simple smile can brighten your whole day. A simple hug can go a long way to make you feel whole again. A simple five minute break can pull you back together so that you are no longer a mess and can cope. A simple chocolate chip can take care of your chocolate craving so you don't have to eat a whole piece of double chocolate fattening cake. You see, little things go a long way to make people happy. The biggest little thing that has happened to me occurred yesterday while I was at work. I have been trying to lose weight basically since this semester began. I haven't seem many results. My diet is totally different and I am eating way better. I even joined the YMCA and am paying about thirty dollars a month for that. I go as much as possible. I also got a personal trainer. His name is Ernie Moore and I payed close to a hundred dollars for him. I go to him for an hour three days a week for six weeks. Well, I wasn't feeling like I was losing weight and I wasn't getting any feedback. It was starting to bother me. Well, yesterday at work Heather, a girl I normally don't talk to much, approached me. She said, "Wow! You look awesome! What have you been doing to lose weight!" Just that one comment made me turn my whole outlook around. I now feel that this work has payed off and I felt good about myself. That little comment makes me want to pursue what I have been doing and to work harder. That little comment got me back on track and seriously made my day. I still smile when I think about what she said. She won't know how much those few words meant to me and made an impact on me. Little things can do a lot.

It happened

In my last blog I wrote about Patrick Clegg. Patrick Clegg was the baseball player from Waynesville that got hit by a pitch at Lebanon on Tuesday night. It was a freak accident and the ball hit Patrick right under his helmet so it struck his brain stem. He was instantly air vacated to St. Johns Hospital here in Springfield. It breaks my heart to even think about this. But the sixteen year old boy was pronounced brain dead last night. He is donating his organs today. I hate this. I haven't talked to him for a few years besides "hellos" in the hallway but I still knew him. He was fun kid. He was full of life and a bit of a trouble maker but that gave him personality. All the schools among the area, especially Lebanon, are being very caring for the family's situation. One of the saddest things that I heard Patrick's dad say was how proud he was for doing baseball and staying out of trouble. The high school junior was getting scholarships from college. The scholarships were going to be the only way for him to have college in his future. My heart also goes out to the pitcher that threw the ball. He should not feel guilty at all because it was definitely unintentional but it would be hard not to feel guilt. I hope he can learn that it was not his fault and just a freak accident. I don't think that I will be able to go to Patrick's funeral because of work but I wish I could be there. I just hate when people die young. I can't imagine my parents going to my funeral. I hope the Clegg family are able to deal with this with the support of family, friends, others, and God. It brings me to tears every time I think about it and to think, tonight would be his first prom.

Praying for Patrick

I just got done from crying. I watched this video from KY3.com to see what was said about Patrick. Patrick Clegg is a sixteen year old junior at Waynesville High, the school that I am from. On Tuesday night, a freak accident happened. Patrick was playing the sport he loved, baseball. They had a game against Lebanon. The pitcher through a pitch that was going to hit him so he did what he was told to do; spin around. He spun around hoping the ball would hit him in the helmet or his back. It did the unthinkable. It hit him in that inch under his helmet and before his back. It got him in the neck, striking his brain stem. He instantly collapsed and the helicopter took him to St.Johns here in Springfield. Things are not looking good at all. They put him in an induced coma and is now on life support. They pulled the plug yesterday for about ten minutes to see if his brain or lungs had any response. His diaphragm moved but they realized that he had only ten percent of his brain cells left. He is now back on life support and he looks bad. People who saw him said that he can't even close his eyes. I was told today that they are thinking about taking him off life support today. If he does pull through he is more then likely going to just be a vegetable and that is something nobody wants for their sun. My heart goes out to his family and his girlfriend. I know how it is. My heart also goes out to the Lebanon pitcher because it wasn't his fault but I'm sure he is beating his self up about it. No one plans for this to happen. I hope a miracle can happen today. I will be praying for you, Patrick. Be strong.

weather

Today is basically the best weather EVER in my opinion. It's about 84 degrees and it feels amazing. It is not too hot and not too cold, just right. It amazing. It's crazy how weather can change your mood so much. I feel so productive today. This weather makes me wanna do good for myself. I went to class then my room mate, Kayla, and I went and looked at apartments. We thought that we fell in love with an apartment yesterday but we still wanted to look. The other apartment was perfect location but the lady was pretty much a jerk. We decided since it was beautiful out and we wanted to look more just in case there was somethin else that caught our attention. We decided to look at another TLC property because those are the nicest. It is really far out on the north side but it was the best price,size, and paid for a lot. That is the new favorite. We found another awesome one but it is only for peole of twenty one years or older. They were really nice but jerks for that! But the new choice is Watermill Park. I just want to find an apartment now and put the deposit down so I know I have one and don't have to stress. I stress way too much as it is. Now we are thinking about working out because we have been really healthy today and want to keep the trend going. I really need to do homework though. I have quite a bit and one is a huge assignment. I hate that. Public speaking is kicking my butt. But after my speech on Monday, I am officially done with public speaking. It is my only B and I hate it. I don't think I can really get a A or C in that class either way so it seems pointless. But I'm going to do my best to do well in that class.

eventful little day

First off, today is supposed to be the excitement of my week. I am finally off completely. I am off from not only school, but work also. I have been loaded with homework and hours at work so I needed this. It started off amazing. I woke up bright and early at eight o clock. I went to my work out with Ernie. Only two other girls showed up but it was fine anyway. We did the dirty five hundred. The dirty five hundred is where we did five sets of one hundred ab work outs. I actually did the best out of the other two girls there which was nice. I am sure that I will be feeling that tomorrow morning for sure but right now I feel fine. After my work out, my mom calls me and tells me that she is in Strafford and about to get on sixty-five. I got so excited because I love my mom to death. I rush home and change. She picks me up from my apartment and we go to the mall. We mainly do shopping for my brother's birthday. I did get some jeans I have been eyeing for a while and two tank top shirts. My mom gets some amazing but expensive make up from Clinique. We are very hungry by now and get lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. Lunch was good and it is now time for my mom to head home. I go home and put my laundry in the washer. While my clothes are in the washer, Kayla and I meet up with our friends to look at some duplexes. It was like a sign from God. Even though the duplex's were out of our league, we looked at the apartments next door and fell in love. I would have never found that perfect place if it wasn't for joining our friends. After that, I put my clothes in the dryer and go see my boyfriend. We got in a big fight which is odd since I was having a great day. I'm sure things will blow over though. They always do. Now I am starting my homework and then I plan on tanning and working out. When I am done working out, I will probably do more homework and get ready for bed.

What am I excited for?

What am I excited for? The main thing that I am excited for is VACATION. I can not wait to be in Florida for a week just laying out on the beach and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. I can not wait to be completely off work for five whole days. I am excited to have a chance to clear my head and not worry about anything besides what I am going to eat for dinner. The main thing that I am excited for is summer for general. I honestly do not think that I will be able to honestly relax until summer. Right now I have to stress about working, working out, friends, family, and school. My body and mind is wearing down. Even though I will still have to work a lot and take two classes during the summer, it will seem like nothing compared to what I am doing now. The most recent thing that I am excited about though is Tuesday. The main reason is that I am finally off. I have no school or work. It starts off awesome because I get to meet with my personal trainer and work out. I need to work out. I feel lazy because I have not had a chance to work out and on Saturday when I went to the work out, it was canceled. Another huge reason that I am excited for Tuesday is that my mom is coming to see me. My mom and I are seriously best friends. We are going to go shopping and then we are going to grab lunch so by the time that she leaves me, I can still get what I need done. I need to start my outline for public speaking and do laundry. Basically, I am excited that I have things to look forward to and things are looking brighter.
