I wish I could lie and say something creative about how busy and crazy things have been in my life and I just haven't had a spare second to blog.... but nope. I have been lazy and anti-exciting. my usual day currently consists of going to work, coming home, doing some homework, texting a few friends, make/eat/go out for dinner watch some FOODnetwork or any number of random TV shows... pathetic right???? Eventually Ill leap right out of this slumpy-funk and be my funny loud crazy busy exciting and creative blogger again............. eventually......... until then, I'm turning on some Diners,Drive-Inns and Dives..... and taking a nap in my crevasse on the couch.

Apparently after a 30 day challenge I got a smidgen burnt out on blogging... So i created a whole new project to distract myself from "school-Ryanne" as well as "blogger-Ryanne" .....SO........ I decided to make a cookbook (plus its something on my 30x30 list I have wanted to do)

So with the help of http://www.blurb.com/ I will be cooking/baking/grilling/etc... taking pictures of said cooked/baked/grilled foods...and making a cookbook of all the yummy foods I know I can cook!!

This won't be in a hopes to reach #1 on the best seller list, nope this little book will be compiled for me, myself, and I. (any maybe if you beg really-really hard, Ill order a copy for you)

Day 24 a photo of something that means a lot to you.

The St George Utah Temple.

(My great friend Aimee (who is also an INCREDIBLE photographer...see {Aimee Lee Photography} on face book...*hint*hint*) took this picture... I wanted something special to give to the girls at church to not only remember me and what I believed, but to also remember that the Temple should be their ultimate goal. I had Aimee edit the picture to say " Righteousness brings peace". This picture means more to me than just a beautiful building. It represents so much to my testimony and love of an eternal Heavenly Father, and my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Day 23

Day 23: 15 facts about you.

1) I hate HATE bad grammar (I realize that since I am a horrible speller so this may seem odd... however, it still makes my skin crawl.) and pronunciation!!!!?!?!?!?! (It's Drive-ING, not drive-INK and that's just the tip of the ice burg. )In fact...I edit your grammar/pronunciation in my mind when you talk to me. 2) I love black-people movies. Tyler Perry makes me giggle. 3) I love all things Breakfast Food!!!! 4) My favorite color is Black. (Not in a emo dark kind of way, but because its classy)

5) Unless I go out to eat, I don't eat dinner... If I eat after 4 its usually cottage cheese or something really little. 6) Midgets both fascinate and scare the crap out of me. They make me giggle and I love them, but I am to chicken to get to close. 7) I do not like sandwiches. 8) Sponge-Bob knocks me out! Put that little yellow square on, and Ill be snoring in no time!9) I'd rather watch a psychological scary movie (not all gore and blood) than a comedy any day.
