breaky

One thing about breakfast, it always seems like it's over too soon. Isn't that true though? You eat the eggs, the pancakes, the oatmeal, whatever wonderfullness you've prepared and *snap* it's gone. It's quite a bummer really. Maybe it has something to do with that fact that you're not entirely awake, so your brain doesn't clue in to the idea of "breakfast" until it's almost over. Maybe that's why the whole breakfast for dinner concept is so enticing, because who wouldn't want to fully take in a big breakfast, bacon grease and all? And be completely conscious of the full meal.
Welp, I like breakfast, and this is a snapshot in to what my brain comes up with. Yep, kinda strange. I know :)

have yourself a merry little Christmas

This has been my life since last Thursday. Wowza, it's crazy to think I don't have class, or work, or tests, or last minute meetings, or review sessions for a month. Boy am I thankful for that. I am finally getting out of the above cycle as well, while all still necessary, the major recuperation period is over, and lovely little Christmas-ness is making it's way in to my daily activities.

Starting with a baking spree today with my dear friend Hannah. And man was it great to have her help in the kitchen. You see, Hannah is that friend in my life that when we're both older with families and kiddos, I will be jealous of. She cooks and bakes like no ones business, mind you as a college student. And bonus! She has a little bloggy too that she started to help clueless people like me stay healthy and sane by eating yummy, good-for-you food. So if you have the chance you should most definitely check her out at:

In short the day was well spent, with three tasty treats concocted, Christmas tunes continually playing, countless cups of coffee consumed, and a viewing of "While You Were Sleeping" to seal a truly Christmas-esque day.

Here are the links to help you out (because goodness I couldn't have done this on my own)-
