"i like to smile, smiling's my favorite"

The other night, my friend Shelley and I were bored so we decided to make peanut butter blossom cookies!

I don't usually make Christmas cookies. We have TONS of dessert at Christmas dinner instead.

For the recipe, we just used one from the hershey's website.

mixing the dough all up, mmm...

3 trays of them

I could have eaten the kisses alone

They were delicious and we had fun just hanging out =)

It's Christmas Eve!! I'm just hanging out with my family tonight and we're going to have Chinese food and make some apple pie for tomorrow.

I'm like a little kid when it comes to Christmas. Just a few years ago I would wake up at sunrise because I was soo excited to open presents. I still wake up earlier than some of my family members, but I'm getting better at waiting. I can't wait until tomorrow morning!! I love Christmas =D

twitterering addict

I'm not sure if this is something to worry about or something to celebrate, but...

I just tweeted my 1,000 tweet.

Is it exciting?

Prolly not.

Does it say very much?

Not really.

Am I mad I tweeted 1,000 times?

Nope. I love twitter.

Am I addicted to twitter?

Yes I would say I go on it a little more than I should.

What was that tweet?

"2 days until Christmas =D I'm soo excited!! I just need to get my presents all wrapped =) (ps 1000 tweet right here!!)"

Yup that was it. Couldn't think of anything else.

=)

different things catch my eye

Here's part 3 in my picture series!

(see part two)

I think this is the last of them. I have hundreds of pictures. If I find any more in my arsenal, they will totes be coming up =)

I just think this one looks really cool.

Some of the books I have sitting on my desk =) I'm in need of some more!

My little fall scarecrow looking out the window.

Beautiful flowers that grew in my yard this summer

The frog is kind of gross, but I have a soft spot for Lilies =)

Walking out the door of my dorm.

The first real, real snow fall of the season! This was before the rain washed it all away.

I'm glad I did this. I feel like I don't put nearly enough pictures on this blog! Hopefully I'll be able to put more on in the future =)

sometimes I like taking pictures

Here's part 2 of my little picture series.

(see part 1 here)

This picture was taken when I went to an apple orchard with my parents to get these delicious apple dumplings this fall. It's not the actually orchard but this was when we were driving there.

The rest of the pics are from over the summer when I went camping with my parents. It was too cold to go swimming, but it was beautiful sitting on the beach.

(this was on the campsite, woops)

I have more "artsy" pictures for the next part =)

edd

I've been cleaning out my pictures on my phone and on my computer.

I decided I would make a little series out of them.

Today we start with pictures of my cat, Edd and these are just the ones on my phone =)

He is all grey. When we got him the lady called him submarine grey.

He's an indoor cat (which makes me unbelievably happy!)

He sometimes doesn't like me very much, but really he does ;)

He's a chicken. Honestly the definition of scaredy cat.

He likes to fight, but in a playful sort of way.

It only looks like he's trying to eat Jerry the hamster. Jerry can hold his own. He bit Edd on the nose once, haha.

I call him my bud. Not sure why but he's great. I love my bud =D

I actually have 8 more pictures on my camera of him. We had a photo shoot the last time I was home (he was a total diva). Honestly the most photographed cat ever!

because it's almost christmas...

and because I caved and think it's going to be fun, I'm sending out Christmas cards!!

so my blogging friends, email your address to meghano19 [at] gmail [dot] com

I wasn't going to, but I feel like it's something I want to do this year =)

plus, who doesn't LOVE to get mail???

ps I totes promise to respect your address =)

december

Remember when I said November was going to be a fantastic month and so much better than last November?

Well it certainly was pretty dang great!!

I did fun things

I saw family who live far away

I had an all around good month!

I can not believe it is already freaking December!!

It doesn't feel like it today (especially with the 67 degree temperature outside!) You have to remember this is New England people. We have freezing cold temperatures one day, but the next day we'll be in t-shirts. Fact of life with living in New England ;)

I'm very excited for December. I LOVE Christmas! It's my absolute favorite holiday ever <3

There's only 5 days of classes left before finals start. I'm hoping they won't be too difficult, but we'll see how that goes...

My dorm room is semi decorated for Christmas and there isn't many days left until break =)

yesterday

Happy Thanksgiving... Yesterday!!!

Only a day late, right?

It was a crazy busy day too. I didn't get a chance to make a post!

I spent the day with my parents, brothers, a cousin from my dad's side, and much of my mom's family!

We had so much fun and ate SOO much food. I'm unbelievably full. I'm pretty sure between yesterday and part two with the leftovers today, I'm not going to be hungry for another 3 days.

My aunt and two cousins from New Jersey and my cousin from the Coast Guard Academy are all staying at our house for the weekend. On top of my brother and me home from school, our house is packed! It's been a ton of fun so far =)

I also went to see New Moon for the third time yesterday. I went with my two cousins. It was still excellent the third time!

I didn't participate in black friday today. I had nothing I needed to buy at the moment. I still think it was too early to start Christmas yesterday and I saw Christmas lights up last night. I understand if people want to play music now that's fine, but I think I'm going to wait until Tuesday =)

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your stomachs are full and that tryptophan treated you well =D

what i think

I think it's pretty obvious I went to see New Moon at midnight the other night. I only slept 5 hours but it was totes worth it (plus I caught up by sleeping 13 hours last night).

I thought it was 10x better than Twilight. I would say it was 1349013x better, but we're saying realistic numbers here. I was really happy with it.

My favvy fav parts were (*spoilerish*):

1. The ending. Absolutely perfect! Couldn't have been a better set up.

2. The Volturi. They were bombdotcom. Aro was creepy. Like super creepy, my skin was crawling when he talked. Plus the throwing around of Edward wasn't in the book, but it fit in there seamlessly.

3. When Edward finds out through Jacob that Charlie is arranging the funeral. I loved seeing him crushing the phone. It was the only way you could truly see how devastated he was when he thought Bella had died.

4. Charlie. He was just a scene stealer. He was such an awkward dad, he rocked!

5. The months. I had no idea what they were going to do to show Bella's catatonic state during those blank pages that break my heart every time I reread New Moon, but they pulled it off!!

Those are just a few of my favorite parts, there were many more. I'm Team Edward all the way. I didn't debate changing teams when I saw Jacob take his shirt off (many times) or when Jacob and Bella almost kissed. I couldn't wait to see Edward again. I'm going to see New Moon again tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait =D

tag! you're it

I've never been tagged before let alone awarded a blog award and I'm quite happy about it! Thank You Vanessa!!

She combined the two awards into one, so I guess I'll just do the same =)

+

Now me =)

1. I've lived in my hometown for almost 15 years. I moved here when I was 5 years old and can still sort of remember my last day at my school. It was Halloween and I was in Kindergarten.

2. I always had a hard time making friends when I was younger. I got better at it as I got older (specifically sophomore year in high school).

3. I have never dyed my hair, until this weekend. And I LOVE it =)

4. I've never been on a date/had a boyfriend. I wish that would change...

5. Finding Nemo is my favorite movie.

6. All my money goes towards movies, music, and candy.

7. I procrastinate so bad. I usually wait until the very last minute to do papers or projects. I hate it, but still do it anyway.

8. I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, we can get along very well. I think laughter and happiness are something you can absolutely create in your life. It's the best help when things aren't the best for you at the time. I strive to stay happy every day. And sort of to go along with that, I hate crying in front of people. I hate crying period and that has been quite the problem in the past...

9. I watch Disney Channel all the time. I usually watch it when no one else is around though =)

10. I would love to study abroad in England. I think that would be the most amazing experience ever! Plus I love British accents ;)
