My toes are cold...

Me: "What should I blog about today?"
Sissy: "How beautiful I am! Oh, but wait, that would take too long."

So since I am short on time, here's what I camp up with...
My family overslept this morning so we didn't get to go to church and we decided not to go tonight. I haven't been there since last Sunday morning. Man, I miss all my friends! Not just at church, but at school too. 5 days off has been crazy, wayy too much time to think. And wayy too much time to be away from everyone(one person in particular =]). So I'm kind of excited to go back. Speaking of going back, my sister went back to college this afternoon. It's so much quieter around here. But she'll be back next Tuesday! yay! I haven't had a haircut since May (that totally rhymed) so I decided to cut it. I spent about 2 hours on wikihow trying to figure out how to do it. My mom ended up cutting my bangs and I layered it. It's not great, but oh well, it's decent. I'm a girl, so ya know I'll probably never be satisfied with my strands of protein.
I'm so hungry! I haven't eaten since lunch (mm, Taco Bell!). Speaking of food, I'm probably the most unhealthy eater ever, so I'm really gonna try to eat somewhat healthy food this week. Um, yeah, you might want to wish me luck with that. I'm a completely subconscious eater, because I don't really care what I eat. Guess I'm gonna have to pay more attention this week. I've spent over $100 on junk food from the vending machines over the past few months. Blah, I can't believe that. It's ridiculous how many other things I could have done with that. So hopefully I'll save a few bucks this week as well.
My dad was telling me about this story on the news last night. This couple got married yesterday and they had never kissed or been alone in a house together. They kissed for 2 minutes at the altar yesterday..I bet that was slightly uncomfortable for the guests. I mean, really.
Guess that's all.

Much love,
Marissa.

Whipped Cream and Power Rangers

Today has been rather uneventful for me. I woke up and totally forgot it was Saturday(seriously, Thanksgiving break is messing with my brain) and for those of us without cable, Saturday means there's hardly anything decent on. So I watched Power Rangers.. I used to hate that show, but today's episode was kinda cool. I wasn't really watching though, cause I was making cheese biscuits, but it felt like a kid soap-opera. The theme song was kinda cool. I made hot chocolate and whipped cream for the first time this year today! ahhh, amazing. Then my mommy told me to clean my room, but i couldn't find my relient k Christmas CD and i was pretty bummed about that. I still can't find it :( I really want to redo my room, so hopefully I can do that over Christmas break. Of course, I said that before summer break so who knows when it will actually happen.
I've written and deleted about 19 different paragraphs that could follow the quote, but I'm just going to leave you with this...
"Why do we do the things we do? Why do we go to church or give money away? Because we’re supposed to or because we think God needs it? Do we honestly put on our best clothes for an hour once a week, stand and sit at all the right times, and sing all the appropriate songs for God’s sake, or because it’ll make us look better to the world around us? We’re tired of all the empty rituals and routines. And so is God. God hates it when we call ourselves Christians but ignore all the things he really cares about. He hates it when we go through hollow religious routines out of some feeling of duty or obligation. God doesn’t want the meaningless rituals. God wants our hearts."-Rob Bell


Much Love,

Ah, Christmas cookies..

Thanksgiving is over(and it went exactly like it always does. told you so.) which means today is the official start of the Christmas season! woohoo! Happy First Official Day of the Christmas Season! It's totally a new holiday. I would be listening to Christmas music, but my computer is being s...l...o...w. So I'm gonna make some Christmas cookies in a little bit. I'll probably clean my room and decorate it a teensy, as I usually do. Yeah, I really don't have anything exciting to say today.
Guess I'll go make some cookies.
Later.

i'm psychic...like alice(?)

I'm writing this while taking a break from Twilight. I'm quite surprised to find myself reading it, actually. But my sister came home today (!!!) with a copy of it and I figured I'd read it.
So, Thanksgiving is in 2 days. Yay. Thanksgiving goes like this every single year: wake up at 9 or so, watch some of the parade, skip breakfast, get on the computer etc, start getting ready, skip lunch, finally make it out the door with the turkey and a random assortment of desserts made at 2 am or so, go to my uncle's, chill, eat, chill/talk, eat again(this time it's much less civilized and generally involves standing around a platter, using my fingers), finally leave, get in the car, discuss how much food we are going to have over the next few days, get home, eat most of said food thus leaving us with no leftovers for the remainder of the week, and after that it's pretty much a blur. I'm guessing sleep or a movie comes somewhere after that. I feel like a psychic, because I promise you this Thanksgiving will be no different. Great, now that I've written this, there's actually pressure for this to happen, but I'm pretty sure I don't have to worry about that.
Guess it's time to get back to Twilight!
