I may have a new fettish....

....or it may be a new obsession. Ta-da!
Earrings~i have 38 pairs!

They are so versatile! They totally spruce up an outfit. Plus they are totally communal in sharing- you don't have to be a certain size to wear them! (unlike shoes or clothes) ahh......I don't think I have ever felt guilty for buying earrings. Nope, not ever! I recently just bought those two new pairs (in the pic.) and I love them! Also, all the things you see below are items that I got at a flea market. The necklace and flower clip are both HAND MADE!!! woot. She formed the rose out of clay, and the clip she buys her fabric, singes the egdes and put them together! ahh... I love shopping highs. =)

Domestic

I feel so very domestic today! Well first off, I passed my math test (wich was a relief) then I made Fajitas (I always have trouble thinking of stuff to buy at the grocery store...!) They were AMAZING!!! They may have even tasted better becuase I made them. {not to sound conceded- but you know what I mean if you have ever been in a cooking-rut like me =)} Then I felt so good about passing my test that I made some tapioca pudding {I get a big F for this one} It didn't turn out quiet right, it was frothly on top and pudding-like on bottom. So I went from being Domestic to Undomestic in just a few short hours.

Extra Credit

A couple of weeks ago my Book Of Mormon teacher sent out an email telling all of his students "due to a increase of the stress level at school, I am now having EXTRA CREDIT meditation sessions. Meditation is one of the best-stress relievers out there"
In my mind I was like, "whoa, this is sweet, getting EC for meditating?!?! This is waaaay cool" {not to mention very hippie, which is awesome! :)}
Going to these weekly 1-hour sessions have been soo good for me! They are a great way to stop, pause, and be still. You can think more clearly, be more forgiving, let go of grudges, and many more things to make your life more functional.
And right now, since it is my first semester at school, I have been having a little bit of stress being out on my own and turning a new page {grocery shopping, budgets, homework, social life, callings}. And since its my first semester I'm not the best at time management, so I feel like there is not enough time for me, because 90% of my waking hours are spent doing homework. But the 1-hour session is working wonders!! It seems like after I have gone to that I have more time to do things, which is REALLY amazing. And that is my meditation story
