Ode to Dad

This post is dedicated to my dad! He is the best! Every morning, even in the cold and snow, at 6:30am he goes outside and scrapes the snow off of my car and warms it up. He even makes me a sack lunch to take to work almost every day! How awesome is that?! Without him, I would be late and cold every day!

THANKS DAD!

My First Dinner

All of you who know me, know that I hate cooking! You know that I have NO IDEA how to cook. Well..... Tuesday, November 10, 2009 I made my first meal. This is how it goes:

1st: I get on the sexy apron

2nd: I study the recipe

3rd: I find all of the ingredients needed

4th: I mix all of the ingredients

5th: I get ready to put my Enchilada's in the oven

These enchilada's actually turned out to be DELICIOUS!!!

Next I had to make dessert:

I stuck with the easiest dessert ever... Apple crisp!

As you can see... I really had to concentrate on sifting the flour

The Final Product!

Blonde Moment #9,253

I find it appropriate that I share with you my blonde moment because my blog title is "The Blonde Adventures of Amanda". So here is the most recent blonde moment:

I was on a date and my date wanted me to listen to one of his

new favorite bands named Barcelona. I asked him if it

was like the country Barcelona in Spain.

Ya he looked at me like I was retarded and then laughed.

I kept talking about the country Barcelona in Spain

and I said "It's kind of like Canada and America,

"they might as well be one country"

I stopped talking for 2 seconds and the light bulb clicked!

That's when I realized... Barcelona is a CITY!

Halloween is not my favorite holiday, but I decided to be a sport and dress up for my work party, if you can't tell I am a cat. Being a cat was fun, the little kids that came in loved me! But next year I think I will be a princess!!! I hope everyone had a fun Halloween!!

Things that entertain me because I am Blonde!

~Graduation tassel hanging in my car~

~Slinkies~

~Sticky feet~

~Magnets~

~Misspelled words~

~SHARPIES~

~Making noises with my lips~

~Anything that makes noises~

~Automatic doors~

~Giggling babies~

~BUBBLES~

*Attitude*

ATTITUDE:

"THE LONGER I LIVE, THE MORE I REALIZE

THE IMPACT OF ATTITUDE ON LIFE. ATTITUDE

TO ME, IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACTS. IT IS

MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PAST, THAN

EDUCATION, THAN MONEY, THAN

CIRCUMSTANCES, THAN FAILURES, THAN

SUCCESS, THAN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

OR SAY OR DO. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN

APPEARANCE, GIFTEDNESS, OR SKILL. IT WILL

MAKE OR BREAK A COMPANY...A CHURCH...A

TEAM...A HOME. THE REMARKABLE THING IS

WE HAVE A CHOICE EVERY DAY REGARDING

THE ATTITUDE WE WILL EMBRACE FOR THAT

DAY. WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR PAST... WE

CANNOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WILL

ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY. WE CANNOT CHANGE

THE INEVITABLE. THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO

IS PLAY ON THE ONE STRING WE HAVE, AND

THAT IS OUR ATTITUDE...I AM CONVINCED THAT

LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND 90%

HOW I REACT TO IT. AND SO IT IS WITH

YOU...WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDES."

Bunker Hill

So you see this picture on the left... that is the monument at Bunker Hill. Let me tell you about this Bunker Hill Monument. Right as you enter, there is a sign that WARNS the visitor about the many stairs they will soon be climbing.

I thought the sign said 249 stairs... but as Steph and I are panting and about ready to die once we hit stair 250... it hit me!!! THERE WERE 294 STAIRS! Let me tell you... I felt that "small" climb for days!

Boston-The Green City

Recently (Sept 16-21,2009) my friend and I (Stephanie) went to Boston! Let me tell you... IT WAS AMAZING!!

We visited the Freedom trail.... Cheers....Cambridge (which included Harvard) and Salem (where the witches STILL live) oh ya and Fenway Park (where the Red Sox play).

My First Blog

Hi Everyone!

I swore to myself that I would NEVER blog... but I guess not every dream comes true right. So here I am starting a blog. I hope you all enjoy my ramblings of all the blonde things I do.

Love,

Amanda
