Well it looks like I joined the world of blogging...

So... I decided to join the adventurous world of blogging.

I never thought I would see this day =)

But I finally decided it was time for me to get my own...

My life... is busy. Well, actually, now that I'm out of college for the summer, I  have free time!!

Crazy, eh?

I never thought I would see the day. I can actually stay up til all hours of the morning... and sleep in. I seriously forgot what "sleeping" in was until last Wednesday, when I could actually do so. No, really -- my life is a little more productive than that =)

Life is really actually quite fun with no textbooks to make my poor eyes go crazy, no exams to study, no essays to write, no assignments to get ready, and NO DEADLINES TO MEET!

Yes, I like this life! Really really like it! But all too soon (sadly I'm afraid) summer will be over, and college will be back... and I'll have to get into nursing again and all the fun involved with it =)

But I'm not going to think about the fall. I'm going to just live in the summer.

Since I'm so "free" (*ahem* really I'm not) I have time for fun things -- like cooking and baking -- and trying out new recipes. So my family sure loves me right now (that is, if my latest crazy adventure in cooking doesn't flop).

Lastnight I seriously felt like the Proverbs 31 woman =) I decided to I would make breakfast for the morning... Little did I know what I was getting in to.

My brother, Michael, had to leave earlish for school... and I figured he would like to get in some of my food too... So I did a lot of it the night before. And finally went to bed a crazy hours...

Baked blueberry oatmeal muffins and raspberry cinnamon muffins... and protein bars (which were not for breakfast)... the outcome was quite lovely indeed =)

I also pealed a million (not quite) oranges and cut them up, cause' I wanted FRESH orange juice... mmmmm twas' good!

I've kinda gotten into healthy foods too... I guess with a Mom and aunts who are REALLY into this stuff, I can't help but do the same =) But I still like making the fun (not so healthy foods!)... even though most of the time I don't eat them -- but pass them off to others.

So I was quite happy to find some interesting (and good) recipes while going over a friends blog the other day...

I decided to try some of them... So I woke up nice and early this morning (in comes the Proverbs 31 woman again =) =) Ha) and made Almond Pancakes... they were pretty good actually. I made a blueberry topping and whipped cream to go on top.

Also, on my friends blog she talked about Muesli -- I had never heard of this before. But I decided to try it too =)

Mom said she often had this when she went to her Swiss friends' place... I think it's probably going to be my new favorite breakfast food!

So now that you're all bored of the food topic... I shall quit =) 

I decided that since I can't do much travelling during the school year, I'd do it all this summer... so many plans were made.

-- now I'm kinda regretting it all -- cause' when I look at the calender, it looks like I shall have no summer at home ): 

Oh well, I'm a huge fan of travelling -- so I'm pretty excited! I shall write about all my adventures as they take place...

But I'm going to call it quits for the day -- oh, a few pictures of the lake -- I went down there this morning, and it was absolutely gorgeous! 

I'm so ready for the water to warm up -- so I can go swimming! (actually, I can say I was in there once this year already... the day after the ice went out, and the next morning it snowed! But that doesn't really count, cause' I was only in a few seconds {literally}. And I only did it cause' I knew I had a sauna and hot tub waiting!)... 

But I'm ready for real swimming -- in this beautiful mass of water:

Okay -- I promise I'm done rambling now =) I hope y'all have a lovely day!
