My mom suggests that we rename Amish bread to something more "hip n' happenin'" like "hip-hop bread."

Oh, mom.

This is my mom:

Hip hop at its finest.

My mom says you are welcome to "sketch in a hat" ......?

Hmmmmmmmmmm... what do you think, followers?

Amish Bread Triumphs

Ha! I just made my Amish Bread. I am so very pleased with myself. It is actually the most amazing-tasting bread ever. It turned out really well, besides the fact that instead of having the top of the bread standing up like a dome (see Sierra's photos), mine just sunk. This is due to the fact that, in my wild excitement and anticipation for Amish Bread, I opened the oven about 35 times while the bread was baking. Oops. Oh well, it still tastes delicious!

Only Amish Bread can go from this:

To this:

To this!

Yumm....absolutely delicious.

Anyway, in other news....

Well, to be honest, there really isn't any. I mean, it is summer, which just means working, reading, playing music, and baking. Can't wait, yet can at the same time, for fall. In the meantime, I will just keep baking and eating Amish Bread, read like crazy, play my beautiful, yet pretty impossible, new flute song, and play my three glorious piano songs (the words are hyperlinks to the songs...I thought the font would appear different so as signify that there is a hyperlink there, but my computer doesn't show that...). I have such a relaxing repertoire of music....love it so much! Perfect for the summer...

Draft #2

You will not BELIEVE what just happened.

I had been working on this post for half an hour when all of a sudden... BLOGGER DELETED THE ENTIRE POST AND REVERTED TO THIS DRAFT!!!!!  THAT HAS NOTHING ON IT.

I am beyond mad.

Wow.

That was actually devastating.

I will try to remember what I wrote............ :(

Ok well first of all, it's the feast of Sts. Peter & Paul! :)

So, I kind of want to get new bball shoes for college.  The ones I have currently are a couple years old, and they were the cheap Dick's Sporting Goods kind... functional, but nothing special.  (Side note: Dick's Sporting Goods, what a terrible name!  Galyans was way better...) So, I decided to go on nike.com just to see what was out there.................. SOME SHOES ARE OVER $300!!!! *cough lebron x p.s. elite id cough* how ridikulus!!  Who would ever pay so much for a shoe????? urgh.. not going to lie they looked pretty incredible though.

I went swimming at Lifetime this morning and met the most courteous swimmer ever.  I had previously posted a convo, then realized.. it wasn't really that interesting was it.  Heh..live and learn ;)

After swimming I went to the spa.  I usually go to the other Lifetime I live by so I had never used this spa before.  I was the only one there so I pressed the green button to turn it on.  When I got in, all of the bubbles started overflowing and cascading out of the hot tub (which is located in the locker room very close to the lockers)!!!  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... luckily it stopped soon but it was very alarming.

Here are some pics from the other day when I made Amish with Evie:

~Sierraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ARGH!!

Have you ever totally forgot what day of the week it was and thus forgot something very important that happened that day? Well, cause that's what I just did...

I tutor on Fridays and I totally forgot what day it was and thus missed my tutoring...I feel so terrible!! I have never missed or forgotten a day of work before--although I guess it is better to get the mistake out of the way so early in life.

So Sierra was so kind as to share that post about the NBA with all of you and, as I cannot bear to be outdone, I shall post something of more interest. Haha just kidding of course Sierra:). But I will admit, I have never been one much for basketball--well, in truth, once upon a time I was an extremely avid basketball player, but times have since changed and I prefer Charles Dickens to Micheal Jordan or whoever is the new hot-shot out there.

Right now I should really be doing my chores (like cleaning my bathroom), but I would much prefer to not do it. Okay, yes, well who wouldn't...what I really want to do is read my current book, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It is the one fantasy that I am reading this summer--after that trilogy, it is onto Faust, The Gulog Archipelago, and War and Peace. I just might be busy for a while and I know I should really just go straight to work on all the classic books, but who can say no to this here below? I cry--isn't it just so beautiful?

Okay, so I really should get back to my cleaning...or really actually get started on it. I just watched the LOTR outtakes and got super distracted--Frodo is just so adorable:). But--back to business.

Can't wait to buy this beautiful song that Sierra and I will be playing ASAP. My heart literally just melts when listening to it...

welcome to illyria, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome...

Hello everyone! 
We are so pleased that you have found us.
Sincerely,
Sierra and Evie

HEH well...that is what Sierra wanted me to say, but as I am in charge of the keyboard, I will continue typing so as to make a better impression--because who would want to read a blog that starts with that?!

Okay, so a few things to cover. There are two of us blogging here, so be sure to keep tabs on who is who (not "whom"). We are incoming college freshmen, going to rival schools this fall. We decided to start this blog in order to stay in touch.

Anyway, that's all for now!

Oh, and if you see that the template/background is changed just about every week/new post, not to worry, as there are two bloggers here, each with her own preference...
