"I love cake!"-Be smart

It kills me!  Welcome to my super creative together YW pres.  Who, without fail, provides me with a back-to-school trinket to giddy-up and inspire me.  If you see me carrying this around tomorrow for the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL (yuck) then you will know who it came from.  (ask me for the "smarties" tomorrow if your interested-I'm not a fan...haha, you are what you eat?)

Disclaimer: sorry, I don't know whats up.  Apparently if you click the underlined text its linked to this picture here.  You don't need to do that.  The pic. isn't all that amazing, just look at it right here k?  Good deal.

Mac and I made a chocolate cake from scratch today.  It was fantabulous!!  With my brother there is always some kitchen concoction to be made, its hilarious.

During the making of our cake we had a constant quotation of, "I love cake!  I do!  I just looouuve cake!" see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxXGNSx4CBc 

"Do we want nuts in this?...do we even have nuts?"    Mac-"No! This chocolate cake contains...no nuts!"

Enjoy the cake!!

So here I go to my first day of my senior year! I'm slightly scared...slightly over it.  I'm excited to play with my peeps I haven't seen in a while, be in Baser's class, and be the "big dawg" on campus.  It will be weird getting off to school my myself though.  My parents are off in Utah-miss you...but congrats Jake!...(good luck?! haha)  

Comfort Cushion-Its not a Toy!

I FINALLY finished English!!! I sent my last paper off at 11:59 last night. I was cutting it close...but I got a 92!! Thanks Hank! I'm feeling really good about it. I'm getting an A in a college class! (Except for the incomplete I have from my second paper. But, that will be shortly fixed.  It was an email problem on his end, I guess.)  

I wouldn't have been able to make it through yesterday though if it weren't for my "comfort cushion." This thing kills me!

Here's what he looks like!

And sorry you have to see his rear-end...

The tag says:

(Cation: 

• This product is a comfort cushion, not a toy.
  
• Keep away from infants and younger children.
  
• Do not poke the cushion with sharp objects.
  
• Excessive weight or pressure may cause the fabric tears that will realease the beads.
  
• Ensure caution to keep the beads from eyes, mouth, nose  or ears. Immediately rinse eyes, mouth, nose and ears, seeking medical assistance if necessary.
  
• Do not expose the cushions to open flame, cigarettes or excessive heat.)
  

I took that tag totally to heart. Seriously, this guy is no toy. He is made for those that are seriously in need of some comfort. But warning!!-you don't want to hug him too tight or else you might squeeze him in two...which could be fatal to your health.  

A whole day inside the house in the pjs I wore to bed the night before.  Now I have to finish Spanish this weekend and then I am ready for summer!  Haha-that's pathetic huh?

Thanks all for your love and support!

This Week-A Taster-A week of ups and downs

Like the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! (my favorite Disneyland ride)  

Sorry to all who I've vented to one-too-many times this week--it shouldn't have been as big of a deal as it was/is.  Explanation to all those I haven't vented to yet...sorry again haha: I decided at the end of the school year I would take three online classes so that I would have a "chillaxed" school year.  So I'm just now finishing Eng. 102 online, trying to make myself finish Spanish 2 online, and jogging about 12 miles a week (sometimes haha) for my online jogging class.  I'm a little insane.  I have successfully avoided many fun summer things.  But, the summer is almost over and so will my stressful classes (I couldn't be more excited)!  So with all of my self imposed deadlines and a big family vacation shining around the corner I was (a little more than) sad that I had to do the classes in the first place and that I couldn't break my double-threat-bad-habit of perfectionism and procrastination.  Long story short...I lost. I had to bring my homework with me this week on my family trip.  I've been hiding myself in my cousin's room all week like a nerd so that I could finish my English paper...while my brothers trash talked each other on their Wii golf game (yea it can get pretty hardcore jk), my nieces do back handsprings outside, and as family I never get to play with...play.  With tons of help from my Dad, Megs, Rob, and Ma I was able to send off my English paper and I'm so grateful (and thanks for all of the sanity checks from my cute cute friends...I'll admit maybe another one of my ADD moments). I guess the only other downer was the morning before we left for Cali.  I had to go trudge out the 2 1/2 hour wait at school to talk to a counselor and then go through 30 min. of intense heart wrenching change.  I hate change...sometimes it is good but oftentimes...ugh not fun.  I had a few classes to switch around leaving three of my performing classes in the first four hours of the day-the only time to take two other classes that I've been wanting in my life since forever!!  I had to give up anatomy, a dream I've had since 8th grade.  Now I'm taking Physics with Fife...maybe I'll love it cause I know that my Dad LOVES physics, but it was a little shock.  I really wanted to take that class.  I surprised myself with how sad I was to have to miss out. There is always college.  (Meg laughs at me... "Oh!-But I wanted the AP class and now I have to take a general?!...This sucks!"  but really it kind of does)

But this week has been awesome despite my stress (minor in spite of my complaining.)  I've been able to spend time with my cute adorable nieces.

M C K-E NN A   M O FF A T (sing to the tune of the Mickey Mouse song) 

She is adorable as all get out...and as cute and happy as they get.  

I like to think that I'm her favorite.

Then there's Cameron-she was so funny. 

She was terrified of the water but loved to roll around in the sand!

She LOVES food...just fyi haha (sorry thats totally random)

Shocker of the week-Jacie. 

She is so big!! She's doing back flips on the tramp and taking coasters like a champ. 

She is already more awesome than I was at her age...or am now.

She totally loves the beach...it took us a little bit but now she will hold "just one!" sand crab and she totally gets in the water.

We have the whole gang here! All of my brothers and sisters (married-ins included).  We are beaching it at least 4 times this week (my paradise), playing lots of our favorite domino game "42," and eating lots-what Moffats are good at!  We went to Disneyland last night too, which was a blast!  We had a private meeting with Cinderella for Jacie (She has never been so shy! It was funny.)  Fantasmic-my favorite thing about Disneyland.  (I teared up over Snow White of all things...really what is happening to me? haha)

There is also amazing jogging over here.  I'm not one for jogging outside-but if I were to-it should be here.  Despite the fact that there are hills...something I'm totally not used to back at M-Town it was amazing.

Tons of random thoughts and tasters of the week-I'll fill in the big gaps later (When Meg loads more of her tasty shots on her website (all fotos used courtesy of Meg))  So far just some ups and downs: in school, the waves at the beach, and the rides...and actually with my nieces-I'm their personal Jungle Jim, up and down they go...tired arms :)
