For The Love Of Baking
Submitted by alison on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 12:30
The Holiday season is upon us. For me this means many things, including friends, family, celebrations, present shopping and merriment. However, I do spend a great deal of time in the kitchen baking. During this time of year I primarily make christmas cookies. And lots of them. We send some to friends and relatives and keep the rest for ourselves. Over the course of the next month I will spend three or four whole days in the kitchen baking and decorating cookies. Over the years it has become my job and I have perfected the recipe my mom had been using for years.
Unapproved Love is Okay

I’ve come to realize that truly great people do not seek approval from others.
A Dog Day Afternoon

They always say that a dog is a man's best friend while diamonds are a girl's best friend. Personally, I never really cared for diamonds, they always seemed too expensive and I thought I'd lose them—but I love my dog, Meryl, and she truly is one of my best friends. The sad thing is, as I feel like I've been growing up too fast, I failed to see that Meryl is growing 4 times the rate I am. While my family has only had her for 13 years, in reality, she's almost 70 years old! In dog years, of course.

Facebook's New Features: Helpful or Creepy?
Submitted by Hillary on Tue, 11/09/2010 - 12:30
Facebook’s wall-to-wall feature, which allowed a Facebook user to see conversations between two friends, has now been replaced with a clickable link that reads “see friendship.” Clicking on this link enables you to not only view a conversation between two people (wall posts as well as picture, link and note comments), but a person can also see every picture the two are tagged in, mutual as well as common friendships, groups and pages they both like and even events they have attended together.
My only question to Facebook- why?
The Coffee Beans Of My Soul
Submitted by alison on Mon, 11/08/2010 - 12:30
When I was younger, I never particularly liked coffee. When I wanted a warm beverage, I normally gravitated towards tea or hot chocolate. Even as a teenager, the thought of coffee never appealed to me. It seemed "bitter" and I rarely, if ever, drank it. When I did it was some frilly, fluffy, super sweetened version, like a mocha. The “bitter” taste that I despised was lost in all the chocolate and sugar.
