Baking!! && Xmas *

Finally got to do some baking! :)

Made muddy buddies--

I also made a blanket for my cousin that is in Germany. Don't tell him!!! But it's the biggest Steelers blanket I've made. It's so warm and cozy and almost want to keep it. ;-)


&&& REALLY want to making some Kitchen Sink Choc. Chip Cookies, as well as a Choc. Chip Raspberry Coffee/Crumb Cake.

I'll keep you posted on all of those, but yesterday I got my hair cut!!!


My Pudge Babe is still getting used to it I think, but I totally love it! =D

Favorite Movie Quotes to Listen to

"Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid."
~Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

"Boo you whore,"
~Mean Girls

"Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much... it-it- the f - it -flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breath... "
~Clue

"Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond."
"A man with priorities so far out of whack doesn't deserve such a fine automobile."
~Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!"
~A League of Their Own

"Let me tell you something kid; Everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either because they're too scared, or they don't recognize it when it spits on their shoes."
~The Sandlot

I know that there are probably more, but these are some of the ones that I'm feeling right now. Movies just make you feel better, just as music does. It's a soothing thing that calms us.

Happy Holidays everyone ;-)

Update to Blog--

I'm redesigning my Blog.

I've decided to do this because my teenage years are coming to an end. My birthday isn't for a few months, but I'm tell you now because I have the time (no classes).

I"ll first explain my reasoning behind the Teen Knit Rock name. I was a teen when I learned how to knit, but I was also in musical theatre and dance. I stuck with the name even after quitting musical theatre and choosing to stay with just dance. My plan of becoming a better dancer was working, but my knitting slowly dwindled. I still would knit from time to time, but mostly dance took over. And of course school, which is what the majority of teenage years are spent doing, schoolwork. Knitting will still be a part of my life, just as dance is something I can never let go of, but the teenage years are coming to an end. I've had a good run with them, and they've been pretty nice, but I'm kind of glad to say good bye.

Turning twenty will be a little scary but I can't wait. I'm looking forward to another little dorm to decorate, or maybe even an apartment. More baking, maybe winning my Pudge Babe back and more schooling of course. I'm actually considering graduate school. Not sure yet, but I'm thinking.

Anyway, redecorating and naming my blog is what I'll be doing over break, or starting now. I just wanted to give anyone who reads this, a heads up-

*DONE!

1st semester of Sophomore year at PPU is COMPLETE! :)

So happy to be done. It was a little torturous to get up at 8am for a final this morning, but I got an Easy A out of the class. My professor e-mailed me back about me asking about another quiz in the class, to tell me and I'M SO SO HAPPY!

Now all I have to do is wait for the freshmen on my floor to GO HOME! && If any of them read this, realize, I can't go home until you do.... :)

Hahaha-- I'm looking forward to my baking once I get home (P.S. I recovered SUPER well after a week of having my wisdom teeth taken out ;-) ). I will so take pictures of all my master pieces.

Until the break and my baking, I decorated my dorm room! It truly is my home away from home. I love it here and love staying downtown. I have a long break to stay at home home and I might be doing some rearranging there.

Well, I'm going to enjoy doing NOTHING for the rest of the day, and then do some CF'n business.

Wisdom Teeth

It was time.

I completely freighted it the entire time building up. I hate going into the doctors and dealing with needles and what not. I just prefer and usually am healthy.

I should've gotten them out earlier when they first told me about them but the one line that made me not want it done at all was, "They're impacted and they may or may not effect you later in life." Who wants to get something done if it's never going to effect you? I think it would be a complete waste of money if they hadn't had come up.

Well obviously they did come up and I needed them taken out. The bottom two were impacted and the top two were grown in. They took them all out and it was FAST! Once the anesthesia was put inside me I was out. I remember lifting my back for a pillow but not coming back down. Hahaha--

I iced all day that day, 20 minutes one, 20 minutes off--- some falling asleep with it and what not but mostly ice all day.

Second day I did warm wash clothes. Not as much as the ice, but still often enough.

Third day I just took more IBUPROFEN.

I'm now waiting to take the next dosage and totally wanting real food. COMPLETELY killing me that I can't eat real food right now. I want a bow of cereal or spaghetti without complications!

I know it's going to get easier but I just love food too much.

Back to movie watching--

Keep you posted!

Baking Goods & It's Greek ;-)

I've made so many baked goods but there are certain ones I really want to make now.

I just recently enjoyed the Holy Cross Greek Food Fest and since I am Greek I LOVE IT ALL!!!

The desserts though, I totally want to master these. My favorite cookies, the KOULOURAKIA's, oh they are soo good! But then there are the special ones like BAKLAVA and this other one I can't think of at the moment-- it had nuts and honey and it was so good!

FOUND IT! Karidopita--- so so so so good.

I am Greek, as I said, and I should have learned this from a relative but my Greek side is not the close side. I will have to venture these lovely recipes on my own.

Stay tuned!

Craving for Knitting & Baking

So I really want to knit because I still have two more full months of summer to do stuff and I want it to be a wool Christmas. Haha-- but it's summer and I keep promising all these people baked goods!

Knitting--

I have to finish my leg warmers. They are almost done and once they are I can move on and finally learn how to cable. Hopefully....

Baking---

Think I'm going to make some cupcakes today. This recipe I want to make is super summer cute. You bake cupcakes in ice cream cones! Isn't that cute? Then ice them just so they look like ice cream! I'm super excited and so want to make these.

Well, I take pictures when it all happens and keep ya posted on the list for Christmas knits-- any thoughts and ideas appreciated! :)
