10 Things That Make ME Happy

!This one is for Ashley because she started it. Here are ten things that make me happy in no particular order. I don't even think they are the top ten things that make me happy but they do make me happy and that's all that matters. Happieness makes the world a better place. Just like cookies!

• Movie Roles! (Hey. It could happen. And if it did it would make me MUCHO happy!)
• Having money in my bank account AND a good sized wade in my pocket
• DB/"German Boy" (If you think you know what I'm talking about, you don't. You either know it or you don't)
• Marie! (Even if she isn't around anymore, I bet she's sending me happiness from the other side)
• Belting at the top of my lungs and dancing! With friends makes it better.
• Getting asked out on a date by a cute boy (Hey, I'm aloud to dream of a Prince ona white steed too!)
• Traveling. No explanation really needed.
• Getting a text from a friend.
• Letters!
• Learning a new song on the guitar.
• Making a difference. Maybe I'll expand on that in a different post

So there you go. Some may be silly some you may actually agree with. So what makes you happy? You can post it on your blog or you can put it on a comment. Even you Ashley.
Happy trails!

Cookie Day!

I know that quote is completely irrelevant (Yes, I used the word irrelevant) to the rest of the post but I like it. So there.

I spent all morning and into the afternoon slaving on these cookies. And you know what? They actually turned out good! (As you will see later) Like really good. Chocolate chip cookies all the way baby! So how do you make these really good cookies? I'll tell you!

1 cup sugar 3 cups flour

1 cup brown sugar 12 ounces Chocolate chips (who am I kidding? Add as many as

2 eggs you want)

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Lots of love

1 teaspoon baking soda Ryan Shupe and The Rubberband (music)

1 teaspoon salt

Mix butter, sugars (make sure you mix those together first), eggs, and vanilla. Then stir in everything else except the chocolate chips. When that's all stired in then you can stir in the chips.

Bake oven at 375f for 10- 12 minutes. (10 worked pretty well for me) Then voila!

Reminder: Don't forget to dance while you cook and while you wait for the cookies to bake!

My "co-chiefs" Ginger and Franklin. They gave me moral support from afar. (after this picture they left me for there bones) I love how Franklin would react to the clicky noise that the camera would make. So cute!

Of course, your's truly took the on the role of head chief. It's a job someone has to do.

It's a small sacrifice for cookies. I still don't know why my lips and tongue look purple.

I"M GONNA EATCHU COOKIES!!! The cookies took a lomg time to bake.

I just had to take advantage of the lighting. There were alot of batches to bake.

I think this one just looks interesting. I'm glad I was the only one home. It's one of those things that just shouldn't be seen. (Who you really are is you are when no one else is around.) These pictures are just a glimpse. Sadly.

I made about 85 cookies. Not all of them made it to the end but they are in a happier place now. And they made room for other cookies on the cooling racks.

Don't they look SOOOO GOOOD! I know you want one.

Sadly, soon after I got a picture from one Ashley Harmon of some cookies with a subtext telling me her mom made some cookies too. Geez, I'm always getting topped...
