A wedding cake? You may be asking yourself why in the world this weeks treat is a wedding cake.  Well, this just happens to be my favorite type of cake. And it’s not just any wedding cake… it’s a Hawaiian wedding cake.  When you make it at home, it doesn’t have to be as lavish as the cake pictured above.  However, I do implore you to make this cake at least once in your life.   It has coconut in it.. and I know, you’re saying “But I don’t like coconut!!”  Well, my companion connoisseurs, ignore that coconut.  Certainly include it when you make the cake, because you won’t taste it at all.  I hate coconut.  I’m not joking. The scent is about the only part I like. Aside from cracking it open and seeing liquid come out. It’s like a Gisher produced by nature. How awesome is that?  Alas, I am off track.  Here is the recipe for this awesome dish:

Ingredients:

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. coconut
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple with juice

Directions:

Mix all ingredients and pour into greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting.

YUM-O right?! How fabulously delicious does this cake sound?  When you bake it at home, it turns out something like this:

Enjoy, kids.

Alright, onto my life’s updates.  The whole reason for this particular treat was because I’m throwing a luau this weekend for Labor Day.  I love throwing parties and celebrating, so this was a perfect time for a theme party.  I can’t wait! I have decorations planned, but the local Party City is lacking in luau decor.  I can’t hate too much, though, because they are stocking Halloween items… and Halloween is my favorite holiday.  I’m already picked out some new decorations, but Ryan keeps me on a strict October 1st restriction.  I wish I could put up halloween stuff now, but others might think this is a bit excessive.

As for other things, school has started.  Classes are difficult, but what else is new.  Right now, I’m on the job hunt.  I lack the two years experience required in most forensic jobs, so the hunting is going no-where fast.  There is a job I qualify for in NYC, but I’m not sure if I’m a big-city girl.  NYC is a bit scary. It might be fun, though. My thesis project is well on it’s way to completion, so I can’t complain about that.  :)

Anything interesting going on in your worlds?

PS – To answer all of your questions, yes, I did take the last photo.  Thanks for all the compliments on it. :)

I was moving, then getting settled in, and now we are *almost* finished with our new place.  I will certainly be posting photos on facebook for all interested.  Let me know if you’d like to see them when I am finished.  I love our new place. It’s so cute.  :) The walls are thin, so we can sometimes hear the people next door. It’s better than living next to a rock band though, so I will take it.  Our new complex also has a pool… and I live right behind it.  I’ve been out there a couple of times already and it’s awesome.  We also have central a/c, which is very nice in this hot Virginia summer.  I had a housewarming party on Saturday, it was so fun. We got a lot of compliments on the place, which was awesome.

My day of shadowing at the Crime Lab was awesome. I learned so much. We toured all of the departments, and I got to observe work being done on cases.  Some of the glory was lost on me a little bit because in my undergrad I worked on cases and worked on bodies, so the autopsy section was slightly bland for me.  I still enjoyed the experience and am very grateful for everyone who let us see them working.  This just reminded me though, that I must start applying for jobs.  I intend on applying to a few, but I can’t say where. Not for a confidentiality thing or anything, but I don’t want people to stumble across this blog and be able to link it with me. By people, I mean future employers.  If I ever talk about anything related to my work or forensic experiences (specifically those dealing with casework) I will keep it private with names out (much like my shadowing at the Crime Lab). I hope you understand!

Before I get started on today’s 30 days topic, I would like to point out that my awesome host has given me more space.  So, you should see lots of new wordpress themes and other things I would like to put on this site.  Any suggestions for any new things you’d like to see?  I plan on starting to post at least one recipe a week on here, complete with photos and everything.  I’ve wanted to do a food blog for a long time, so I thought incorporating that onto here would be a great way to get my feet wet and see if I like it.

Speaking of changes, I have changed the theme. I LOVE THIS THEME!  It’s Gilmore Girls, and it’s inspired by an old theme I had on Closet Space waayyy back before wordpress.  I also added back my featured Etsy seller, so go check them out!

Day 05 – Your Favorite Quote

I have many favorite quotes.  One was under the picture I posted in my entry about the Sandlot.  One of my favorites though, is this:

“Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.” – Harvey MacKay

I think that quote is amazing. It really puts perspective on things.  I had it hanging above my desk in my last apartment, and as soon as my printer gets hooked back up I plan on putting it back above my desk here.  I love that quote.

Do you have a favorite quote?

The first is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. It’s a great book. I have only read it once, but the view it’s written in drew me in right away and I feel in love with the journey the autistic boy was making to find out what happened to his neighbor’s dog one evening.  I found a great summary here if you would like to learn more.

My second favorite is To Kill a Mockingbird. A lot of people have bad memories about this book because it was frequently shoved down the throats of 9th graders at the start of their year.  I encourage you, though, if you haven’t read it since your angsty 9th-grade year, please give it a chance.  It’s great, I promise.

As for things not related to the thirty days project, I am doing the shadowing portion of my internship tomorrow. I am spending the day at a local crime lab to gain exposure to how the evidence is handled (outside of what our crime lab teaches us in school).  I will inform all of you of what I learn.  I won’t say where I am going or any specifics, but I will outline anything interesting or exciting that happens in my day tomorrow.

I also got my 3rd dose of Gardasil tonight.  That shot hurts like a mother… yowsers.

Who on Earth only has one favorite TV program? Perhaps someone who watches much less television than I do. Oh well. Judge all you want. Some people are music people, some people are book people, some people are movie people – I am a tv person.  I can re-watch episodes I’ve already seen, it just doesn’t get old to me.  So to adquately do this posting, I must mention all of my favorite TV shows. They are:

    

What are your favorite programs?

Anyway, onto another blogging topic – I’m almost done with my time in Pittsburgh. This is my last week. It’s insane to think that I’ve finally reached the point of going back with Ryan in our new apartment.  Granted, I will be working 40-hour work weeks from home (I will use a special type of software to log-in to my work computer from Richmond, so I can finish my project) so I won’t be done working.  I’m glad the project is continuing after I leave the city, though, because we are going to be able to get so much more information if I work on it longer. I will even get my name on a journal article or two for this project – which is incredible to me.

Also once I get back to Richmond, I’m going to make a daily schedule and adjust my spending habits. I want to find more time for this blog, since I’ve been getting so many visitors lately. I want to expand it, and learn more, and make this website really awesome.  I want to make more of my own themes, too. But Artisteer has a lof of limitations.  Do you know of any other programs that will allow me to create themes? I’d love to try anything!

“Remember, kid, there’s heroes and there’s legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart, kid, and you’ll never go wrong.”

The Sandlot.  I might be 23 and in graduate school, about to start a career that involves testifying and putting criminals behind bars, but my favorite movie of all-time is this movie.  I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s my absolute favorite.  What’s your favorite movie?

As for topics other than the 30 Days series, the most exciting news in my life is that I am going to a wedding this weekend.  It’s for friends of ours from high school.  I’m sure we’ll have fun – I love weddings.  I still get bitter when I’m not the one standing on that altar, but, alas, that’s my cross to bear. ;)  I will undoubtedly take some photos and post on facebook, for those of you that know me well enough for me to add you to facebook. For the rest of you, who knows.

Nothing else is really going on in my life.  I have 2.5 weeks left of my internship – this summer is flying.  But soon, I will be reunited with Ryan, preparing for my last year of school (it only took what, 23 years?) and getting ready to put on my big girl panties and head out into the real world.  I’ve never been more excited in my life.

I wanted to clear all of the crap out of my life and start with a new, refreshing series of events.  While I was redoing my list, I stumbled across an item that I didn’t blog about – buying a new car.  I know in the last post I described how I didn’t get my license yet.  Well, Ryan and I still purchased a car anyway. It’s a used car, a 2001 Black 4-door Saturn.  It looks like this:

Of course, that’s not our car.  I just stole that picture from Google.  We love it. It’s such a cute little car. :) We had been driving that gigantic Blazer since the accident in January.  It sucked gas… I honestly believe that thing ate it.  There’s no way we could afford to keep driving it. But, I’ve finally, then, straightened out the mess I caused with Ryan’s car in the accident. That gives me one more major goal to cross of my list. :) See the complete list here.

As for this 30 days project, I’ve seen so many places doing this around the internet, including SP and Stubborn-Ox. I love the idea. It will give me something to blog about, along with reminding me to actually log-on and do it.  The topics for all 30 days of the project are:

Let’s get to it, shall we?

Day 01 → Your favorite song

My favorite song is the one that I want to play at my wedding (whenever that happens…).  It’s called “I Like to Be With Me When I’m With You” by Drew Holcomb.  I just love this song.  I think it has to do with my love-bird mentality. I’m just in love with love. I love everything about the whole process. I love having that person I share everything with – that perfect person who makes everything complete.  If you’ve ever been in love, and I mean that real that can’t-eat, can’t- sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, world-series kind of stuff (Did anyone get that reference?) you’ll know exactly what I am talking about.  The lyrics for the song go like this:

If I had a great big mansion
I’d rather live in a shot gun shack with you

If I drove a red farari
I’d rather ride in an oldsmobile with you

If I won a million dollars
I’d give it away to spend more time with you

If i had a million lovers
I would trade em all for just one more night with you

With you I can be myself
With you I don’t have to be somebody else


It’s like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I’d like to be with me, when I’m with you

If i owned the finest vineyard
I would rather sit and drink cheap wine with you

If i could live on the moon
I would rather stay in Tennessee with you

If i could sail across the ocean
The ocean would just be blue without you

If i could climb up Mount Everest
I would turn around and climb in bed with you

With you I can be myself
With you I don’t have to be somebody else
It’s like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I like to be with me when I’m with you

If i could be like Albert Einstein
I’d rather just be dumb and be with you

If I could sing like Frank Sinatra
I would rather sit and talk to you

With you I can be myself
With you I don’t have to be somebody else
It’s like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I like to be with me, when I’m with you.

It’s a lovely song. If you’d like to listen to it, I’ve included the .m4a file here - I Like to Be With Me When I’m With You

P.S. Due to my new found love for blogging to finish projects, after this 30 Days project the future will be filled with a photography project and blog entries answering the 50 questions that will free your mind.  Looks like I’m not going anywhere. :)

The other one was too bulky and got on my nerves. Ick.

Hey all! This summer is seriously flying by. It’s been so busy, I can’t even keep up! Once school starts again, I will have more time at home and really try to make this blog a priority.  I suck at keeping it updated after my 12+ hour days.  I just don’t feel like doing anything after I come home. Unfortunately, that makes me a sucky blog hostess.  Forgive me?

I have some future plans for this website, but I don’t know so much if they are going to work out.  You see, I want to blog about everything I do. I mean, everything.  Especially when I plan parties, bbqs, cook meals, see something interesting, etc.  But, to do that, I have to get better at taking my camera with me and taking photos of everything.  I’m gonna try real hard once I’m back in Richmond, I swear I am. :)  I also don’t know if I am going to keep all the visitor content or not.  I really might direct it more towards just being a blog, without all that extra stuff.  No-one is really here for it, and a lot of it it old and not really in style anymore.  I might just back-up the word press entires, delete everything else, and start over.  What do you think?

As for life, it’s been same-old, same-old.  Ohm I do have a story I forgot to post.  You know how last time I was getting my license we got in a car accident? Well, this time something else happened.  As I’m sure all of you know (because you’re all loyal readers of mine :) ) I didn’t get my license last time.  So, I made an appointment for when we were at home last weekend to get it.  Well, I was driving around with my Dad, practicing and we went into a restaurant real quick so he could get some lunch.  When he came out, we were going to go practice parking once more before the exam.  Well…. the car wouldn’t start.  It just died.  Right before my test!!!! He got it started, then it died again.  It just didn’t want to go anywhere.  Because it was so close to exam time, it was too late to get another car to use.  Long story short, I didn’t get my license this time, either.  I seriously think I’m not meant to drive! :(

My internship is going well.  It’s really neat.  We’re running into some road blocks though, but they are out of our control.  So I had to modify my project a little.  I hope it’s not going to be a big deal in the end.  I can’t see why it would be, so hopefully nothing  comes of it.

Ryan’s moving our stuff into our new apartment next week.  We are sooooooo excited to be moving into a nicer, quieter place.  Unless you lived in the middle of a college town, next door to a rock band that practices daily and who’s amps are so not in tune that they have constant, ear-piercing feedback, you have no idea what we lived through last year.  I’m very excited to be living in a nice townhouse.  It really feels like this is going to be the place that Ryan and I start our life together in.  We shall see, I guess. :) Maybe there will be a ring in my future and I can put one more piece in my life puzzle.  I

Hopefully I remember to post on Wordless Wednesday and the Thursday Treat this week, since I’ve sucked at it all summer.  Do you have any requests for either of those?

First, I . . . → Read More: Many, many updates!]]> I seem to say this a lot on this blog, but I’m sorry for being so dispersive with my entires over the last few weeks.  I simply haven’t had time to blog with everything that has been going on.  I’ll try to fill all of you in on my life adventures since I last blogged.

First, I finally got the buses down! Thank goodness. All that stress lead to an anxiety attack.  It wasn’t the highest point in my life. :(  But, they changed the bus routes after I’d been here for 2 weeks and the new routes make my commute easier and faster.  I enjoy it much more.  It only takes about an hour or so each way – not too bad.  I’m just glad I have it down and don’t have to stress out about it as much anymore.  It makes life a little easier.

I saw Ryan last weekend for the first time since I moved to Pittsburgh a month ago.  This is the longest we’ve ever been apart.  It’s weird. I have seen him at least once a week for the entire 8 years we’ve been together, now it’s down to once a month.  I miss him a lot.  Only one more month until I move back down south with him, though.  I can’t wait.

I bought a crock pot cookbook. It was my first ever cookbook purchase (and, it’s on my 101 in 1001).  Usually, I just get the recipes online instead of buying a cookbook.  This was an exception though.  I have an easier time looking through recipes in print than I do online when making a grocery list or planning a party.  It’s just easier.  Because of that, I’m trying to find a way to organize all of my recipes.  I thought about typing up all of them and putting them in a binder or something, but I don’t know if I will like that.  I’m more of a fan of the recipe box or cookbook.  A binder isn’t that much different, I just like the aura of a cookbook or an old family recipe box.  Do any of you have a recipe system that works wonders for you? I need advice!  I want one that I can easily add to as I find new recipes, in the sections they belong in (like appetizers, sides, main dishes, etc).

And the most eventful thing to happen since I last blogged… I got food poisoning.  :(  YUCK.  I have never been so sick in my entire life!  I didn’t know that’s what I had, but I Googled it (hey, I belong to the technology generation, what do you want from me?) and I had every single symptom.  It was a rough 2 days.  I still can’t eat a full meal, I just don’t have the appetite I did before.  I won’t discuss all of the unpleasantries, just know that it was the singe worst experience of my life.  Easily.

I’m still trying to decide which phone I want to buy.  I’m leaning towards the Razzle.  It’s got good ratings, and someone had one at the zoo and it was really neat. I’ll let you know what I decide.  I love my phone, so it’s hard to get a new one.  But, it’s dying all the time so I need a phone with a better battery life.  What phone do you have?

The most recent thing I’ve done was have a movie night.  Last night, the girl I am staying with this summer and I had a Netflix watch instantly marathon.  We watched The Girl Next Door, Tamara, and Death of a Ghost Hunter.  The Girl Next Door was a good movie, but it was so difficult to watch… morally.  The things these people did to this girl… still gives me the shivers thinking about it.  It was so disturbing.  I felt like a sinner just for watching it. :( Tamara was awful, we just watched it because we are in love with awful B movies and this one fit the bill.  Death of a Ghost Hunter was AMAZING. Aside from Yvette and Mary Young being AWFUL actors, this movie was great.  So suspenseful and intriguing.  I was scared!  Another creepy good movie is called Them or Ils in French.  It’s creepy as heck!

I’m also thinking of updating my 101 in 1001 list.  Can you do that? I don’t really see why not, it is my list.  There are just some things that don’t fit what I want to do anymore.  I also want to catalog them like Caity did, her list is very inspiring.

I put up a new layout as well.  I love it. So cute.  I didn’t make this one, though.  The Artisteer program is lacking some settings I would like to see in themes that I build.  I might try to find a new program.

Alright, it’s nice to be back. I promise I will try to update more often. At least once a week. I swear. :)

P.S. I know that I’m not on here too often, but I still should be linked on your site if you have a link exchange with me.  I went through my list and if I couldn’t find a link to my site, I deleted your link.  If I made a mistake, please let me know!

I love all the people and the atmosphere in general of the place I am working.  It’s really great. :) Once my project gets done, I’ll link you guys to some of the materials that explain what I do (if you’re interested).  It’s confusing for people not in the field, so I haven’t decided if I will post it yet or not.  Do you have any thoughts?

I’m still trying to decide on what phone I want to get.  I’m down between these three: Razzle, Cosmos, and the Exilim.  Do you guys have or know anyone who has any of these phones?  I have no idea what I want.  I know that really, I want an iPhone, but I can’t afford the plans that go with those so for now, I think I am sticking with Verizon.  I don’t want the data plan though, so that limits the choice of phones that I can get.

Alright, I am off to prepare for another crazy work week.  Wish me luck!!
