an old photo!

I don't know if I've shown you guys this before, but I really like it! Both my dad and I are fighting for the best composition. (This was not posed!)

Toodli-doodli-doodles!

P.S. Sorry I haven't posted in so long! Like the new title picture?

Don't you just love how horses are so photogenic?

Yesterday, me and Julia hosted a surprise birthday party for our best friend, Rebecca! (She's the blonde one in the middle on the last picture.) We made a cupcake tower where each cupcake had a unique face on it, including a Cyclops! The one on the top was Rebecca's, with blonde hair and blue eyes! Anyway, we love you Rebecca! Happy Birthday!

Toodles!

trees have hearts!

Once again, a quick post with not much talking. I have lots of these pictures edited, saved, and ready to be posted! These will come on days where I'm busy or, well, lazy.

Toodles!

Just a quick funny picture. I took it in Wyoming, where I went with my friend Julia (from Smile)! Anyway, not much commentary. Edited the About Me page up top!

Toodles!

long time... no see!

Busy, busy, busy! That's all I've been! But I've taken a quick 5 minutes to post. So sorry I haven't posted in a long time, but as I said, I've been busy! Friday night was opening (and only) night of James & the Giant Peach! It was a lot of fun.... pictures will be posted asap! On Valentine's Day, we are going over to the elementary school to perform for the kindergartners, third and fifth graders! This will be a very small post. But I promise as soon as this show is over, long posts will be back up. (You don't even know what other Broadway shows I saw in my recent trip to NYC! I am trying to spread them out though.)

Toodli-doo!

don't be late!

Last night I went to my friend Farrah's (from Farrah's Flavor) birthday party, with an awesome theme: Alice in Wonderland! We watched the movie, wore costumes, had tea, and even acted out a few scenes! Here's some pictures!

I dressed up as Alice, but my favorite character and one of my dream roles is The Red Queen. When we acted out scenes, I played the Red Queen! It was fun! If you go to Farrah's Flavor, the video will be posted soon, I think!

Toodleydoo!

groundhog day!

the fire within me...

Last night we had a problem with our gas stove where it wouldn't stop clicking, generating little strikes of blue lightning. Sounds creepy, but it was more annoying.

It was also a good photo opp... especially when we had to turn each burner on! Some of the pictures I made by moving the camera around really fast as I was taking the picture. I did the same thing with our Christmas tree lights back in December, but I think the stove worked even better!

I guess it is the little things in life that make us happy!

Toodli-doo!

only in new york...

Just a quick little photo from NYC taken outside our apartment's window!

Just a little inspiration I edited with Picnik.

Once all this winter stuff is over, I'll get back into more of B'Way posts!

homemade toll house!

Like chocolate chip cookies? Well, then... here's the best recipe in the world for chocolate chip cookies. If you like Toll House cookies, you'll love these. It's like making Toll House cookies with your own flour and chips! I'm a major sweet tooth, so I'm going to start featuring great recipes (mostly desserts) a lot! And this is the beginning!

Ingredients...

Directions...

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Combining means to just mix together with a spoon. It takes about two seconds to mix those three ingredients together!

3. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixer bowl until creamy. If you don't have a mixer bowl, it is totally fine to use just a normal large bowl. To beat, use the back side of your spoon and smooth out the mixture onto the sides of the bowl.

4. Add the egg(s), one at a time, and beat well after adding each one. When cracking eggs, it's a great idea to crack them into a small bowl and then pour into mixture.

5. Gradually beat in the flour mixture you made at the beginning.

6. Stir in your chocolate chips and/or nuts. (When I make these cookies, I only use chocolate chips. You can use either one- or both!)

7. Scoop up dough in tablespoons and drop onto ungreased baking sheets. A really great idea is to put parchment paper on top of the baking sheets, so that it is easy to lift your cookies off.

8. Stick in the oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

9. Finish the recipe up by cooling your cookies on baking sheets for about 2 minutes, and then remove to wire racks to cool completely. And presto! You have some delicious chocolate chip cookies!

Merry Christmas and Toodles!
