domesticated...

Yeah, so maybe majoring in Home and Family Living didn't set me up for a real "prestigious career," but check out how domesticated I've become...

Ahhhh yeah! 

And that's what four years as a Coug will do for ya! Thank you, Brigham.

the joys of GNO's...

Nothing fulfills me more than a sappy, romantic comedy and a tub of Ben and Jerry's all while wrapped up in blankets and snuggled on the couch. Grazi, roomies, for a stellar evening.

how to carve an old school pump-skie...

The ladies of 2149 St. Mary's decided to put our carving skills to the test for the ultimate GNO. On a random Shop 'N Go run to pick-up our fat-free yogurt (naturally!), Jane and I ran into the most beautiful pumpkin of the season. Weighing in at a whoppin' 32 lbs at $0.19/lb, this sucker cost us only $6.84. Our activity for the night was an instant no-brainer! If you want to learn how to carve the most perfect Halloween pumpkin, I suggest you follow our fool-proof guidelines...

1. Insert sketchy knife into 3-inch thick pumpkin... carefully!!

2. Cut a "round" hole around stem, creating a very crooked opening...

3. Reveal guts.

4. Artistically carve out your favorite 4 numbers... 2149.

5. Present carving for roommates approval...

6. Light her up and display her outside for everyone to see... (how 'bout them apples, Jackie?)

7. Lightly season seeds and bake!

We heart the fall!!

thank heavens for prophets...

"To all who suffer, to all who feel discouraged, worried or lonely, I say with love and deep concern for you; never give in, never surrender. Never allow despair to overcome your spirit. Embrace and rely upon the hope of Israel for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow and gladdens every heart."
