Milkshakes

In complete humility I share with you all that I made some darn good peach milkshakes tonight! However, I could not always say that. The road to my milkshake making success has not always been smooth and creamy. There have been sharp and gritty experiences along the way. I guess the most important thing I have learned is that never, under any circumstance, stir the milkshake with a utencil (wooden or other) while the blender is still running. After I chopped off about a quarter of one of mom's wooden spoons, and had to pick wood splinters out of my entire milkshake I decided to never do such a thing again. From there it has only been learning how much milk and fruit or other flavorings to add to make the perfect glass of fantasy-like goodness. I am still perfecting my skills and techniques, but progress has been made (much to the satisfaction of my mother, my milkshake consumers, and myself)! To be completely honest though, I need to make an honorable mention of the ice cream for being the most perfect ingredient ever and covering over a multitude of wrongs. :)

I figured out how post pics!!

Grad School

I never wanted to go to grad school. It wasn't needed, nor did it fit into the life Plan A. However, Plan A isn't looking so hot so I need a Plan B. I don't really want to go on in my schooling (lazy), but a couple more years to figure out a back up plan and find a job to pay off loans would also be nice. Everyone and logic says it is the best thing to do if I can get accepted somewhere, laziness and immaturity say graduate and be done with it. I will have spent approx. one fourth of my life in school. I guess a couple more years to help make it more useful might not be too bad in the long run.
God, Father, I guess it's not very peaceful with me kicking and screaming here on your lap. Please help me know what you want me to do, and then please help me do it the way you want me to do it.
