It has been a while. Wow. And I had all these goals at the beginning of the summer. Looks like I'll have to jam everything I wanted to do into these last few weeks before school starts again.
One of my goals I've failed on is eating better. So I did make some delicious creamy corn the other night, which probably wasn't the healthiest, but it was good. And so EASY! And SO CROCKPOT!!! Of all my weaknesses, it would be cooking. I hate preparing food. It's my shame to admit that I've really lived off of otter and astro pops this summer. And toast with honey... which is God's saving grace to the college student. But honestly, it's like whenever I think about food, I go into a catalepsy and my muscles all freeze together and I can't even think. I know I need to eat healthy. I just keep procrastinating. There's also the trouble of buying food. In case you haven't realized, healthy food is more expensive. And you just end up eating it anyway! Sometimes I feel out of place, being the offspring of my Julia Child-like mother. I think some traits got mixed up in heaven, and my cousin Madi was born with the cooking/domestic life traits. I got left with the skills that won't help in the apocalypse, like painting and writing. Anyway. Here's my idea. Romaine Lettuce. Cool Salad dressing. Salad toppings. Voila. Easy salad bar every night. And pretty healthy, too. If I mix it up with different toppings, I won't get tired of the same thing, right? I mean, look how many cool salads Wendy's has come up with recently.

And just so you know, if you haven't tried watermelon with ice-cream, it is about the best thing on God's Green Earth. Dare I say... orgasmic? ;)(Oh yes I did just use that adj.) That's how good it is. Also good if you kind of let the watermelon and the ice-cream melt together, then make a popsicle out of it. Delicious. Well, that's all for tonight folks!
