cooper and cinnamon rolls

ok so wow. i haven't blogged in awhile. weird i been o busy lately with basketball and homework and family stuff, its craziness!

anyways right now I'm making Cinnamon rolls a quintessential Nystrom/Wadsworth Christmas tradition and right now the dough is rising so i have some time to blog.

i love making cinnamon rolls. we make like 24 batches of them so that we can give them to all our family friends and john and i give them to our favorite teachers and sometimes we give them to our bus drivers. everybody kinda expects them. This one family at school pays me to make them for them so they can eat them on Christmas morning.

it just wouldn't be Christmas with out them. normally my mom makes them, but last year she tore her rotator cuff right before Christmas so kneading dough was kinda out of the question. So i ended up doing all of it. and this year now that i know how to do it she figures I'll do it again.

so here i am, waiting for dough to rise.

and cooper. his girlfriend just broke up w/ him. i don't want to pounce on him to early, and i for sure don't want to be the rebound girl, but i don't want to have to wait again. I don't know. maybe its just not supposed to happen.

(Rant)

i wish i knew how to posts pics to this thing, cause it seems like my blog is kinda pathetically boring. idk, I'll just have to wow you all with my eloquence (and lack of spelling skill).

so today we got a snow day cause i guess the roads were really bad this morning. which is hilarious cause now they're totally fine. so i slept in until 11am and had a ginormous breakfast when i finally woke up.

we were supposed too have this relaxed practice today, just kinda to stay fresh, seeing as how we haven't had a real practice since last Thursday, but predictably, my parents crap schedules have made it impossible for me to get there anywhere near on time. grr. so incredibly frustrating.

and then my mom totally dismisses it and is like "oh well you can work out later" she doesn't get it. basketball for me is like working out is for her. i don't do i for the exercise, i do it so i get to see my friends and because i actually enjoy the sport. i hate it that they can't just deal. i know that makes me sound so selfish, but our family drops all kinds of cash that we shouldn't spend on her obsession, but me playing basketball is such a HUGE burden. even thought I've gotten a ride home from basketball every night and they barely have to do anything they still complain about it constantly and basically make any conversation about it so miserable that i don't even want to bring it up.

its so unfair.

late thanksgiving post.

this Thanksgiving we went down to Philly to spend it with my cousins and grandparents. we had an awesome turkey dinner Thursday, then on Friday the girls went shopping and the guys went down to the range and shot shotguns all morning. we had a fantastic time.
i got a new pair of basketball shoes normally $110 for $30.

i got an awesome pair of polka dotted slip on vans and i bought Christmas presents for a whole bunch of people.

it was fun to spend time with just the family and not have to worry about basketball practice or being anywhere on time or have to care what i looked like. it was nice.

i know its a little late, but I'm gonna post ten things that I'm thankful for.

1. Friends. for those that can see past what i say and hear what i feel. Friends who can laugh with and at me when its warranted.
2. family. they challenge my patience everyday, but i love them.
3. sports. they give me something to get through school for.
4. music. gives me reason to smile and dance.
5. Ozzy.(my dog)he was happy to see me when i got home. we played tug-o-war with his favorite rope.
6. penny.(my cat) she knows when I'm sad.
7. coffee. I'm happily addicted = ]
8. hoodies.
9. shoes.
10. my God

then today after we drove home and unpacked and everything, we went and Got our Christmas trees. it was really really cold and my toes got a little frostbitish, but we got the perfect trees.
then, after we got home we decided that tonight was the best night to go our for dinner for my grades, so we changed and went to Phillips European.

today was a loooong day.

happy thanksgiving!

i know i'm 10 minutes early but you'll just have to forgive me.

so we're off to philli tomorrow at o' dark-thirty i'm gonna be freakin bored outta my mind.

texts and such would be greatly appreciated.

anyways i have many deep and philisophical things to psot about. things like God, Good freinds, bad freinds, people you wish were freinds...

but i'm kinda tired. perhaps i'll tell you all about them tomorrow.

i <3 bagel squares

so there are this things you can buy at wegmans that are made like bagels but they come in a square instead of the donut type shape.

i thought it was really cool.

but anyways i got to go to bed. today was a loooooong day and tomorrow is gonna be longer. i can't wait to see the play though, it sounds like they've been working really hard on it.

this guy can make me smile

you know that feeling you get when you're tired, you're listening to some of your favorite songs that aren't about sex or written just to be funny, and you're thinking about that one person whose got a hold of your heart?

i wish i could feel like this all the time and be normal.



i thought about cutting for the first time since basketball '06 this past week. I'm not worried. But I'm a little scared. i wish i could be high on God all the time, like I was a couple weeks ago. I know it doesn't work like that, and that the best i can do is to work hard at loving him now.
