Best Friends

I have many best friends. I remember having a conversation with my dad when I was in elementary school - telling him that I had four or five different best friends. He told me that wasn't possible. I couldn't have more than one BEST friend. I suppose the logic makes sense...but remember...you're talking to a highly irrational girl. My three roommates are my best friends, my family are my best friends...so basically, I have quite a few people that I would place in the "best" category.

Last night Morgan and I sat and talked for a long time about life and silly things and I couldn't help but feel so grateful to be madly in love with my best friend.

Best friends rock.

Love to you all.

All grown up and eatin' onions

Soooo....the day has finally come. My mom will read this with a smile on her face I'm sure. I like onions. I despised them all growing up. Ask anyone. If you offered me onions with my pot roast, I'd likely stick my tongue out at you and run in the opposite direction. Thanks to my roommate Ashley however, I discovered that onions can taste really really really GOOD! Granted, I pretty much cook them until all the weird flavor is out, but I'm eating them at least!!! Go me.

The other day I made my mom's homemade meatballs. Delish. Can I just toot my own horn for a sec? Thanks. I FINALLY got the texture/flavor right. I just think the world ought to know that I, Sugarblossom Cate, am a domestic goddess in the making. Watch out Martha Stewart.

I'm going to try and eat healthier from now on. And I don't just mean more carrots and less carbs...I mean eating in general. I have a terrible tendency to skip meals when I'm busy, or to down a bag of peanut butter M&M's for lunch. Morgan has been getting on my case about it, so I decided it's high time for me to shape up.

Love to you all!

It was a good weekend.

So my roommate is an amazing photographer and she offered to take some fun and artistic pictures of Morgan and me this weekend. We had so much fun! Ashley, you rock.

Mission Accomplished

I love cards. I love getting cards, I love receiving cards, and I love MAKING cards! I think the ones I made today are my all-time favorites. So in honor of my fabulous craftiness, I am posting pictures of them. They make me happy. I used acrylic paints and card-stock. It made for a cathartic evening!

Life is going well...I'm excited for the next few months. It's going to be a wonderful winter that's for sure. :) 

I'm feeling crafty!

Sometimes, particularly when I have a rather large paper to write, or an important exam to study for, I get the crafty-bug. All I want to do is stay home and be crafty and somehow make a living by pestering people into buying my handmade goods. Lately, I've been checking out all these blogs where women sell jewelry or greeting cards - things of that nature. I want to do that! I want to make adorable things and have people want them! How cool is that?

The other day I was talking to a woman whose daughter goes to the preschool where I work. She was waiting to pick up her child and was happily making little-girl hair bows...the really cute kind that I wish I could still get away with. The ribbons were to DIE for, and I could just imagine how amazing they would look on all the little girls in my Kindergarten. Then she told me it takes her about three weeks to fill an order (a local consignment store sells her hair-bows) and she makes over $1300! And WHY am I going to college? (Just kidding mom!)

So be on the lookout. I think I'm going to start making glorious little hand-made items that your life will not be complete without! Hopefully my grades won't suffer too much.
