Confucius's Words of Wisdom (betcha he didn't invent the retainer)

     In S.S., we're learning about ancient China (oooh, aaah) and my teacher gave us a bunch of Confucius's quotes (he's one cool dude!) to look at. They're pretty good, considering they're from arooooooound 551-479 BCE (his lifetime; I don't know when he actually wrote the quotes *HEY! A RHYME!*). Here're a few of my favorites:

~"Wherever you go, go with all your heart."

~"If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake."

~"Silence is a true friend who never betrays." (This isn't actually one of my favorites, but I just want to point out that MY besties would never betray me either!! You rock, guys! ... yet I have no comments from any of them *sob*)

~"You cannot open a book without learning something." (I love this one cause of my bookworminess)

~"Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your own doorstep is unclean."


~"Chose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." (Very true!)


That's all for words of wisdom!! See y'all!!

Happy Groundhog Day and Other Random Things!!

     Hey y'all, I survived my harrowing retainer experience (not saying I enjoyed it, just saying I lived through it LOL), although it's debatable whether or not I'm rocking it right now. For all you guys who don't understand why I said that, QS (Quick Solution): read "How to Rock Braces and Glasses" by Meg Haston. Great book!! It's up there with the Westing Game, even!!  Now THAT'S pretty good. Here're some Westing Game book pics, just cause I feel like dragging images from Google. Aren't I just so random? :D

Delicious Crepe Recipe- and I mean delicious

I'm making these for a late breakfast this morning... they're really good! 
 MMMMM      
               Makes 10 Crepes
~Ingredients~

 -1 cup milk
 -1 cup flour
 -2 eggs
 -1 teaspoon vanilla (for dessert crepes)
 -1 tablespoon sugar (for dessert crepes)
 -1 tablespoon melted butter

~Directions~

    1) Mix the milk, flour, and eggs (and sugar and vanilla if you're making dessert crepes) with a wire whisk or electric mixer. 
    2) Add the butter and continue mixing until the batter is thin and smooth.
    3) Heat a frying pan until droplets of water "dance" on it.
    4) Pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan. When the crepe bubbles and the edges look dry, flip it. Cook for another few minutes until the other side is done.
    5) Fill with your favorite toppings!! Vegetables and cheese are good for savory crepes, and fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate make a dessert crepe FABU!

~Pinky's Secret Crepe Tip: If you're making dessert crepes, Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread) makes them perfect!!!~

Hope this recipe comes in handy :) I really love it and hope all you blog-readers out there do too!! <3 Pinky <3
