Keep on Keepin' on.

Updates--Updates--Updates!

Confession: I'm terrible at keeping up to date with this darn bloggy thing. Facebook and Twitter are so much easier. I mean, when I come on here, it takes me a good 30-60mins of writing time to compose a whole post. So, count your blessings---cause I'm here now!

Ok--I'll stick to the important facts.
["Important" being a questionable adjective, of course.]

1.The Ward here is fantastic. Not quite home--but it's comfortable.
The only slimy thing is that there are no girls my age, and I'm pretty sure most of the guys are younger than me. UGH! haha.
But there is one girl I particularly like. Her name is JaydanMormon. She's like 12--but that doesn't even phase me! She is super sweet! She'd fit in perfectly in the Grove!
We went to a ward picnic, which was nice! Her and I got to chill on the beach. Photo below.


2.Mr. Diabetic-Neighbor-Guy likes cupcakes! And so does his wife, Mrs. Diabetic-Neighbor-Guy's-Wife ---so much in fact that when I brought more over on Friday, she answered the door screaming "OH MY[I'll leave it blank]", lunged out of the door, gave me the biggest hug ever and kissed me smack on the cheek! Did I expect that? NOPE! But she's a really sweet lady.

3. I've become very indecisive about my future. First-- I wanted to be a teacher. Then I realized how much responsibility and planning that would require, so I dropped that idea like a hot potato!
Then I was leaning towards being a pilot---but I HATE physics.
Then I was thinking I could be a hobo--but then that means I'd only own like one or two outfits and that's just wrong!
After that, I thought Flight attendant, which I'm still leaning towards--but not as a career. More as a "save up for college/whatever."
So then, I was thinking about what I would study. These are my three:
a. Hair stylist.
b. Photographer.
c. Cupcake shop owner!
I love option "a" because I LOVE playing with hair, and it's something I could do on the side, while having another job.
I absolutely adore option "b" because I LOVE playing with cameras and taking photos of absolute nonsense. My favorite of all this is the following.

and I'm not overly sold on option "c" but i LOVE to bake cupcakes! Here's a photo of the one's FranciMormon and I baked for OwenMormon's b-day [which is today!]. They're ants[incase you can't tell. Their butts kept falling off, cause the icing melted due to the freaking hot heat here.]


So ya! That's my potential future.

4. I've been getting really into this sewing stuff!
NanaMormon and I made MommaMormon a quilt which is fabulous! I haven't taken a photo yet, but there soon will be one! I made myself curtains for my bedroom, due to the excessive amount of sunshine up here in Drug Town.
Here are the star curtains!

aaaand here are my leopard print curtains!



So that's my life thus far. It's getting late and I'm sick. And the mouse on my computer is driving me nuts I honestly wanna chuck it out the window! Erg! haha, so I'm going to end this now.

Don't forget to recycle--and heck, plant a tree!
LarissaMormon. xox! <3
