Life's New Obsession: Snickerdoodle Cookies

Thoughts running through my brain:

1.  I wanted a snickerdoodle cookie last night.  The weather was horrible.  Mom told me she wasn't going to buy dough in this weather and I surely wasn't going out.  We had those sugar cookies with the frosting on them. Took the cookie, scraped the frosting off, sprinkled cinnamon, microwaved, and shazam.  Cookie.

2. I am home for Christmas break!  I'm so happy to be home for awhile.  I love AU so much but it's nice to be at home where I grew up and see my family.  No matter where I live in my life, this is always going to be home, and I've grown to be perfectly content with that.

3.  I'm really excited about next semester, especially now that I've straightened my schedule out.

4.  These past couple of months, I've grown obsessed with Glee.  I mean if anyone should be obsessed with this show, it should be me, right?  Show choir, dancing, the whole nine yards.  I want to be on this show or better yet, have tons of Glee moments in my life when everyone bursts into song and starts dancing.

5. My mom's preschool children are absolutely adorable.  I went and helped out there this week.  They are such good kids!

6.  If you remember, in my last couple of posts, I had really been praying about where God wants me this summer.  Well, I really weighed my options and really felt like he was leading me to work at a summer camp. I grew up going to Fuge.  Fuge has always had a near and dear place in my heart.  So when I found out that Centrifuge lowered their age from 21 to 20, I knew I had to apply.  There was no doubt in my mind.  So I filled out my application and went for my interview.  I felt like it went really well but I knew there were some odds against me because I had never worked at a camp before and because I was still young.  But, I knew if that's were I was supposed to be, it would happen.  So about a month passed and I figured I would hear around them in January or so.  However, Monday night, I opened my email and it said "Your FUGE placement for 2010!"  My mouth dropped.  I opened it and I've been placed at Ridgecrest in NC this summer!  I'm so excited!  God is so good!  He is going to do so many awesome things and I'm so thankful he is going to use me and is allowing me to be a part of this!

7. I bought two new awesome hats yesterday.  They are warm.

8.  OK,SC.  I'm going to need you all to stop freaking out about the weather.  Just because Mr. Weatherman on tv says that it MIGHT snow, DOES NOT MEAN A BLIZZARD.  My word.  If I saw one more facebook status today saying "where's the snow" or "man why isn't is snowing?" or "the weather man is dumb, all we have is rain." I'm going to scream.

9. I've taken a nap almost everyday since coming home for break.  I'm perfectly content with that.

10. Starbucks and I were fixing to have a fight.  In the past two days, I've gone to get coffee THREE times at THREE different locations.  The first two were out of stuff to make the Caramel Brulee Latte (which by the way, if you haven't had one, it's heaven in a cup.  I'm serious.  I'm sure there are so many served in heaven.  I can't wait!)  Needless to say, I was not happy but was very content with my peppermint mocha.  So tonight, in Rock Hill, they have Caramel Brulee Lattes!  Hurray!

11. Christmas is Friday.  That's pretty crazy.

12. Ms. Bates and I are taking a little road trip on Monday!  I'm excited!

13.  I went tonight with SA and Ellison to see Denise in Narroway's Christmas production.  I kinda wish I had gotten involved with this theatre company when I was in high school and lived closer.

14. That being said... I miss theatre.... A LOT.

15. Oh I turned 20 two weeks ago.  That's scary. That's old. Two whole decades.

16. I really need to prepare tomorrow's Sunday School lesson!  We're talking about the Wise Men!

17. I miss my first floor Rouse girls!  I love you all!

18. I went shopping with my parents today.  My favorite moments are when my dad and I are walking behind my mom and we start singing Christmas Carols... very loudly for all to hear and she speeds up and pretends like she isn't with us.

19. I saw the cutest little old man at the dentist the other day.  His name was Harold.  I'm positive that I'm now in love with my dentist because he didn't tell me I needed my wisdom teeth taken out.  I'm terrified of that.

20.  My awesome mom bought snickerdoodle dough tonight..... :)

Have a safe Christmas preparation week!
