Dear Mary.....thats ME!

So, here it is Friday night and I am exhausted!  I was so ready for this weekend, and I am very happy it is here!  
So my school life is going good.  I am really enjoying my cooking class, last week we made suckers- and besides burning the sugar, pouring the pina colada flavoring, we did great.  That is until we had to add more flavoring (which was alcohol based) and ended up adding too much, causing our suckers to taste like alcohol......ya.....it was fun though... But I am not a candy maker fan I think. This past week we made quiche and fruit pizza, it was so yummy!  
It snowed last night, after a week it was actually melting, it snowed.  But I think I am adjusting, because I am really not that cold, although it really hasn't been that cold in general lately.  This morning when I went to work it was so pretty.  There was fresh snow and no cars or billions of people had walked through it to make it all muddy and close, and because it is not too cold at 4 am, I just wanted to stand outside and play.  It was fun to walk and hear the crunching sound under my feet. =]  I loved it.  Its so pretty to see all the white pretty undistrubed snow.

So things have been good lately, I am still trying to get myself back into the right rhythm of school.  Its really nice though Wednesdays feel like a Friday to me, which is so fun.  Although it does make me a bit lazy....today I came home from work, slept, made a list, went shopping, came home and did homework, and went to the gym, it just felt so unpreductive.   Now I am watching a movie with my roommates and relaxing.  I read so much for all my classes, I had to read 123 pages in 2 days for my online history class- I am worn out.  
I also was making cookies, and my roommate Jess asked If I was going to mix it by hand, and I was like, "Umm....no, I will probably use a spoon." She just starred at me then I realized that she meant a spoon- it was really very funny. =]  So I made cookies, and mixed it with a spoon! Not a mixer- I felt so old fashioned. =]  Although I am thinking that the $6 mixer at Walmart is sounding nice.  
This week I went to my old wards opening social this week.  It was fun!  I got to see my old friends and meet new ones. =]
Last weekend I went to Salt Lake City, that was nice, we had no school on Monday which was also very nice.  I had a tea part with my sister and some of her friends, I added I don't know how many cups of sugar, I just could not get rid of that taste....not a tea fan.  But it was a fun weekend.  And I could actually leave the house in a long sleeved shirt and be ok.   What a thought.
