1. I love cherry blossoms and dogwood trees! Both remind me of Easter and Spring.
2. One of my favorite cooking websites is http://www.southernplate.com/
*I am thinking about what I would like to make for Easter weekend. I am considering making a strawberry pie to take to my Grandmother's for Easter lunch. The pictures look so good! I might make a chocolate chip cheesecake for just our little family. I have made it before, but I forgot to take pictures. I also feel ambitious and might attempt to make the Jordan Love Knots. It is a type of yeast bread, thus my apprehension.
3. I really want to go see The Last Song with Miley Cyrus. Now I am not a Miley fan, but I don't dislike her. I am indifferent about it. I have never seen Hannah Montana, but I like some of her songs. I read Nicholas Sparks' book The Last Song over spring break. I loved it! I am hoping that mom will take me and Becca on Friday when she comes home from UNA.

4.My wii! I gave in and joined the rest of the world and bought a wii. I have never been much of a video game person. I had one of the original Nintendos and gameboys as a kid. I only remember playing tetris on my gameboy. I wish I still had it so I could show my students. It was big, heavy, had a small screen, and was without color. They wouldn't know what to think! The only game I remember playing on my Nintendo was Duck Hunt. It was a great game. It had a toy gun and I got to shoot ducks. One year while living in the theta house Laura Wesley and I went to a replay game store and bought the game to go with our old Nintendo. Unfortunately it didn't work. It was too old. Although, it was probably a good thing for our grades. I have the basic wii games (boxing, baseball, tennis, bowling, etc.) and I have the EA active. I haven't started the EA active. I am going to wait one week post surgery before doing anything too much. I might return to boxing tonight. Boxing is my favorite!
5. Going to bed at 11:30 and cleaning before I go to bed. I LOVE to sleep! However, I am never tired at normal times of the day. I get sleepy around 6:00/6:30. I sometimes take naps. Who said naps were only for kids under the age of 6? Not me! Sunday naps are some of my most favorite things :) I wish I could be one of those people who went to bed at a reasonable time, like before 11:00, but I am wide awake at that time. Go figure it is 10:30 and I am updating my blog! I also want to pick up around my apartment before I go to bed. I need to make this more of a habit. Cleaning isn't my favorite thing to do. Shocking, I know. So when I clean really good (like I did over spring break and before my surgery) I try to maintain it. This also helps in the off chance someone comes over to my apartment it will be somewhat clean. Notice I said I cleaned before my surgery. Yeah, like I woke up hours before I needed to so I could clean. Why might you ask? Well Becca, my sister, was coming to pick me up. I didn't want her to see my messy apartment. I also knew there was a good chance mom or Ryan, Becca's boyfriend, might stop by at some point. I have been known to frantically clean in the moments before someone comes by. It makes me anxious and nervous to think someone is going to see my messy apartment.
