Written Love

writing delights from my young life.
So recently I became a member of the popular interest website, Pintrest. This site makes the best of the Internet easier to share with your friends and for them to share it with you. You can narrow down sites by categories and once you find something you can either “like” it or “pin” it to a board.  On my adventure in “pinning”, I have collected 15 pins on my assorted boards and 56 likes. When stumbling across all the various things my have posted, I found a recipe for Oreo cheesecake cookies. I thought that sounded absolutely delightful. So I decided to bake them for my boyfriend and his roommates.  I started out by driving to our local Walmart buying the necessary items with my friend Dallas. He had to get eggs and honey. We only had 15 minutes to get our stuff.  We were frantically searching the store and finally got the butter, cream cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla, and we were down to the last item. As we approached the aisle with the tin foil, assuming wax paper would be close, we slowly reached the conclusion we were in the wrong area with 10 minutes left. I stopped a worker and asked where the location of the wax paper would be but was disheartened to find out that the Walmart was backed up and wasn’t getting any anytime soon. We checked out and continued to our car.  I dropped Dallas off at the library to study German. I went back and start mixing up a starting batch of cookies and all was going really well till it got to placing cookies on the pan where there was no wax paper. I figured “how bad could it go if I just greased the pan?” Apparently, not well. The first pan of cookies looked good other than the bottoms were really brown.  The boys are so nice and ate them anyways. I tasted one of the cookies and they were good. I just need to try them again with wax paper.  Here is the recipe for the cookies: http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2011/03/22/oreo-cheesecake-cookies/

Loss of a Summer

A good word to describe my summer is loss. I have a loss of a relationship of a relationship with my mother, a loss of a grandmother, a loss of a hamster, a loss of a good cat, and a loss of many friendships. Its these summer nights spent in my room in a new house that puts these thoughts in my head. 

First lets start with my recent gain. To my surprise, I have not been scared in my father’s new home with the news that was given to me. In 2006, a young man took his own life in my basement. According to the rumors, he dismissed his life because he was depressed due to a recent break-up with his girlfriend. Normally, that would terrify me but a certain sadness has come over me. I feel so sorry for his family and the boy. It may sound crazy but I feel like I have a new friend or something. I just can’t help thinking I want to know more about him and his life. But, I know out of respect for him and his family I should leave it alone.

It’s hard to talk about my partial loss of relationship with my mother. It is a bunch of her side, my side talk. To make a long story short, I was hurt by her not trusting me and she was hurt by me. 

My many losses within the last year even has put my whole family at ends. I used to remember a time when our whole family would gather on 4th of July. The cousins would be in the basement plotting a plan to be a band or playing in the dress-ups and the grown-ups would do whatever they did. Now, it’s all battles and amongst family members. It really saddens me. I think that they should’ve brought together. Well, there’s that side of the family. My other side of the family was only brought together when my grandmother died. It is a way more simplistic side of the family and it was less complicated. Now, my beloved pets. I never got to say good-bye to Louie and unfortunately I wish I could’ve. And there was a accident with my lovely hamster Chunk. He was let out of his cage by a certain someone and Chunk escaped. In conclusion to this paragraph, I will greatly miss those who I have lossed and they shall not be forgotten. 

This last paragraph is partly my fault. I have lost contact with some of my friends. I was really hurt with their selfish ways and decided that they were not true blue friends. When I lost contact with them, I have got contact with some other friends. There is a rainbow at the end of every storm.

Hardships only make a person stronger and this summer is making me stronger. I really can’t wait for my new beginning in August. 

Love…

Love…
