time on my hands could be time spent with you

HEY FAMILY.

first of all, i wanted to share this with y'all... i made it this morning and it's actually pretty good! if i hadn't made it myself, i probably wouldn't even know there was pumpkin in it...

Weight Watcher peanut butter fudge
Ingredients:
2 cups canned pure pumpkin
1 box Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies Mix (the 18.3-oz. Family Size box)
2 tbsp. Better ‘n Peanut Butter, room temperature (i used reduced fat jif, it was all they had at winn dixie... probably adds a few more calories)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine pumpkin with the brownie mix in a large bowl; stir until smooth (do not add anything else). Spray a small baking pan (8" X 8" work best - no larger!) with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the mixture. Spoon 2 tbsp. of Better ‘n Peanut Butter (room temperature) on top and use a knife to swirl peanut butter around. Cook for approximately 35 minutes. The batter will remain very thick and fudgy, and it should look undercooked. Remove from oven. Cover with aluminum foil and let cool in fridge for a couple of hours. Cut into 36 squares and serve.

This fudge is 1 "point" (weight watchers language) per serving where the fudge we are all familiar with (with the marshmallow cream, etc) is 5 points per serving!!! So you know what that means... 5x the fudge to eat!!! :P


Anyway. I am still trying to become a "runner", and I've been doing okay! I can run about 3/4th of a mile without stopping.. and it takes me like 12 minutes hahaha. I walk faster than I run. But its definitely a better workout... really gets my heart pumping! Other than that... stuff is fine. juuust mighty peachy. I'm ready for CHRISTMAS!

ALSO

there was a halloween party last night.

who says you can't go home?

i'm going HOME TODAY!!!!!! :) i'm leaving in like... 4 and a half hours! AHHHH!!!!!!! I'm so excited.

I got some more picture from this summer at Kickapoo Kamp:

it is 63 degrees outside!!!! :)

I'm so sorry - I'm the worst blogger in history.
Things are going good. Toga party this friday!!!!!!! I cannot WAIT. How cliche of me. Also "Undertakers Cotillion" next Thursday - both hosted by my faaaavorite fraternity, Sigma Alpha Kappa. BFFs. It will be fun.

Speaking of greek...

IIIII am getting initiated into PI SIGMA ALPHA this spring!!!!!!
And okay. No. PSA is not like a sorority. It's the Political Science Honors Fraternity.

But still. You KNOW that's gonna look awesome on my resume.

8 days til I come HOME. I can't wait - I need a weekend of R&R! I am working my TAIL off. I worked like 37 hours last week... That's abnormal, I begged for extra hours because I am taking so much time off this week and next, but still. I was POOPED.

I had a french test yesterday, and I'm pretyyyyyy sure I got a 100. If not, I DEFINITELY got an A... if she takes off points for missed accents and stuff. I didn't have a single midterm. That was a weird... stress-free feeling. Definitely nice.

I'm such a terrible roommate. I am like BLARING really annoying Irish punk rock cause it helps me wake up... but i'm pretty sure Lindsay and Jack are still asleep.

Oh well. I hate them. Hahahahahaha.


OOOOH. AND. I VOTED FOR PRESIDENT LAST NIGHT!!!!!! :) absentee voting. I got a little choked up!!!!! I even shed a tear or two. Now it's time to just hold on and wait for November 4.

(PS: Ralph Nader is running again. WTF? Seriously. Give up.)
