bruises.

first of all i just want to make sure you all note that we have previously had a conversation about bruises and my sister [together].

so no, this is not the deja vu where it really hasn't happened before but you feel like it has.
this is for real deja vu.


a couple of nights ago i received this text [seriously].

from:  sister

i have a new HUGE bruise!

its the biggest one yet.

u need to blog it

lol.

jk but rly.

its huge.

i think [bruises] might have to become a new label.

or maybe [sister's bruises].

wish list.

i can't believe that christmas is right around the corner.
seriously, it's so hard to believe.
i feel like this year has flown by.

and throughout this really quick year, my wish list has grown, and grown and grown.

please make sure you realize this is my wish list.  meaning, i know that i might not get a lot on here but hey, a girl can dream.  right?  

1. Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - is this a good choice?  not sure if i should go with elements or save up for the real deal??  any suggestions?
2. 7 For All Mankind Jeans - 'Dojo' strech trouser (size 26)
3. iPod Nano - the older model would be totally cool - don't yall think the newer ones are super shiney? weird.  i like both but i would assume that an older model is cheaper?
4. Danskos - so many choices! i think these are my favorite color (size 39...i think)
5. The Message on cd - i feel like this would be perfect for my long commute
6. black converses - low top (size 8.5)
7. Nike running shorts - love them! any of them really...but those are just a few i like :)
8. Tall black boots - mine are worn out.  I wear them all winter long!
9. Holey jeans - not sure i spelled that right :)  but you know what i mean!
10. North Face Pullover - these are the best, for real!  make sure to check the kids section.  they are cheaper and an XL in kids fits me - so that's where i bought my first one :)
11. Camera Strap - these are a few i like - but i think i like just about all of them!
12. Patagonia Classic Retro-X fleece - again, a girl can dream, right??
13. i plan to post my unending list of books i want soon.  those can definitely be added to the christmas list!

okay, i'm done.

finally!

inbox overload.

i had to help my dad with something earlier today which required me to sign in to his e-mail account.  i would just like to point out a few things from the photograph below.

1. please take note of the number of unread messages in his inbox.  seriously, i could not handle that.
2. also note that his e-mail address starts with bass. 
3. and lastly, also notice the subject lines for the majority of the e-mails in his inbox.
   

{i fuzzied any info that might be incriminating - just kidding...it's info that had full names and such}

moral to the story:

i think he's addicted.  to craigslist, ebay and any hunting/fishing website.

i told you he was country.

pumpkin crunch dessert.

on tuesday night we had supper with barbie and ken at their house.

ken made clam chowder and i offered to fix a dessert.  i decided to make pumpkin crunch.  my aunt penny had made it and had it at work the day she cut my hair.  i tried it and loved it.  so, i made it on tuesday night.

let me just tell you.
super simple.
super delicious.

unless you're worker man or ken - because "they don't like pumpkinnnn" [in a super whiney voice]. 

so heather and i ate one piece each and then we had the rest left over.  well, we can't leave something like that at home because i will eat it all [and worker man will help if he likes it].  so, i took it with me to work the next day and everyone loved it.

here's the recipe:

ingredients:

• 1 16oz. can of pumpkin
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1 c. milk
• 3 eggs
• cinnamon or nutmeg [optional]
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 2 sticks melted butter
• 1 c. pecans
• cream cheese [softened]
• cool whip
• 1 3/4 c. powdered sugar

directions:

1. preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 dish
2. combine pumpkin, milk, sugar, eggs and cinnamon [or nutmeg...or neither] and spread into dish
3. sprinke yellow cake mix all over the top
4. pour melted butter over cake mix
5. sprinkle pecans on top
6. bake at 350 for 1 hour
7. blend cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar for topping
8. once cooled [ahem...i made the mistake of not waiting...i do that often] spread topping

i didn't say it was super healthy.
just super simple.
and super delicious.

you should definitely try it :)
