Oh hey! It's January!

So I'm sitting here in my half organized room watching Teen Mom 2, waiting for Kourtney and Kim Take New York and I realized that it is January! Happy New Years to everyone that may read this and your family! I've been pretty productive these past two days and its kinda not right!

I was cooking up a storm last night! I made french bread pizza~ complete with sausage, tomatoes, and onions~ for dinner last night. Of course it was amazing! My brother's chipped in and made bean dip and burgers. A strange concoxtion, I know. We were stuffed from dinner and watched the sickest movie of the weekend: Straw Dogs. Just at the point where I couldn't take it anymore, I decided to bake cookies since my mom has a huge stash of white chocolate chips in the pantry. But the movie drew me back in, so I finished watching the movie and then began to bake up the chewiest white chocolate chips I've made to date. I think I added too many white chocolate chips, but thats not a big deal! I swore my brothers to secretcy so that no one knew I cooked a fabulous meal but they don't listen and now the whole family knows I can cook the best pizza.

I've been an organizing fool today also! I organized 2 closets today: the one in my room and the one outside of my bathroom. I've decided to hang new things on my wall and I've started with taking off the shelves I got in high school and replaced them with a large picture that I got from my grandma's. There are some nail holes in the wall still, but those will be fixed at a later date! I also hung a mirror and a picture frame. I tried to display my DVD collection in a different way...but that didn't work out so well. That is my work in progress. I'm really liking this organization that I have right now and I'm hoping that it sticks with me!

I've decided that I'm going to take part in: A Photo a Day Challenge for January 2012. The first photo is {January 1st} A photo of yourself. This is my picture:

This is me and Arden on Christmas Eve.

I've also almost finished my first book of this year today. I'll fill you in on it once I finish the last 3 chapters.

Over this past summer I read the best book "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. I was waiting paitently to go see the movie once it came out in August. My friend Aimee and I wanted to see it but we had a very small problem that she lives in Georgia and I live in Illinois. A few people said they would go with me but it never happened. So while I was at Wal-Mart the other day, I saw the DVD on sale. I bought it, came home and watched it. I loved it! It followed the book as much as possible. A few things were changed but they were changed in the way I thought it should have been written in the first place :)

I am now watching Kourtney and Kim (If you know me, you know how much I love the Kardashian family) and I really want to slap Kris Humphries for being so dumb (Cassie...you would agree).

I'm off to continue organizing, reading or just to watch reality tv to end my first day of 2012! I hope everyone is enjoying the things I have to write! Let me know your feelings! Again, Happy New Year!!
