a couple of months ago, my well used and loved 30GB ipod classic--that i bought in grade 9 and have used ever since--decided to stop working.
i was faced with the sad truth: time to buy a new one.
so here's my new friend!

how i will ever need 160GB of space, i have no idea, but my only other options were an ipod touch (more $$) or a nano, which wasn't gonna happen (going from a 30GB to a 16GB.. not possible)

he is serving me well so far.

in other news, i'm finally in the process of taking drivers-ed. i finished my forth consecutive 9-3 in class session today. wahoo!
i felt pathetic being there with all the sixteen year olds.
then i realized that the girl next to me was 21.. and felt SLIGHTLY less pathetic.

i'm not so much looking forward to the in-car portion of the lessons. car accidents described in vivid detail over the past few days have not only made me want to be an extremely cautious driver, they also have made me sort of not want to drive PERIOD.

uh. time to toughen up and join the rest of the (driving) world.

I WANT TO GO

some day.

bag baby

found this at work yesterday
intriguing

lemon poppyseed

i haven't posted anything for a long time
so here's a picture of the sunday cake that i made for oma and opa today
(they have cake with their coffee after church and pie for dessert. part of my job is to bake these things every friday. ya, it's pretty tough)

since i had to cut a piece to photograph, i was forced to taste test.
it's DELICIOUS. definitely making that one again

i think smoking is awful

but i found this today and thought it was pretty funny

happy to be cupcakes

i will never make boring icing again!

i just realized how very empty my walls are

they have been since i re-did my room back in october

how very boring.

i mean, these are some beautiful, green, self-painted walls

but still. i think the time has come.
