Laura's Random Rants: February 2012
http://laurasrandomrants.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. I am very happy today! I had this little anti-social/not very happy funk for the past few days (more like the past few weeks)! It's been really weird- cause normally I don't think I'm like that! But in the past few days, I've felt happy again! Thanks to everyone (especially my Heavenly Father) who helped me be happy again! Wednesday, February 22, 2012. What We Say Matters. Sometimes, the news makes me so sad! Like today. this. I really think we need to remember his words....

Laura's Random Rants: January 2012
http://laurasrandomrants.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. But since I'm not dead yet, I decided to update people (okay, myself) on life! Wellll. firstly, I (and my roomies) survived finals! It was a slight miracle considering the amount of procrastination and grumpiness I had during finals. And- I didn't do too shabby on my grades (like, I didn't flunk out). Actually, I've adopted this new philosophy:. I think it will work out well and I'll be less/semi-unstressed! Wellll. after the semester ended, I went home for Christmas! My gran...

For the First Thyme...: December 2011

For the First Thyme. Friday, December 30, 2011. I have to say that although chocolate and banana in a muffin was a kinda weird combination, I did like these muffins quite a bit. I think next time I make them I'll try it without the cocoa and see if I can make them more like a banana chocolate chip muffin. Medium bananas, mashed. 1/4 cup 2 Tbsp unsweetened apple sauce. 1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 3/4 tsp baking soda. 2 large egg whites. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Laura's Random Rants: So I Stink At Blogging...
http://laurasrandomrants.blogspot.com/2012/09/so-i-stink-at-blogging.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. So I Stink At Blogging. So I stink at blogging. Like a lot. This is why my attempts to keep a journal epically fail every time. It is because I get bored/distracted/too busy/feel like I have nothing to say so I just kind of stop writing. But I should probably at least attempt to catch myself up on the end of summer and the beginning of the school year! So the end of the summer was a blast! Mal and I went hiking like four times a week and found some of the coolest places! You c...

I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings from six thirty until one in the afternoon.

http://forthefirstthyme.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
For the First Thyme. Thursday, November 22, 2012. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I apologize for neglecting my blog this past semester. I'm not sure when I'll get around to writing more posts. (I'm considering changing and revising the blog a bit so we'll see if I ever get around to it.) Don't worry though, I'm back to cooking again! About two months ago I started cooking a little more again; however, I'm still not doing as much as I use to. It's kinda sad, but I'm just super busy :).

Laura's Random Rants: Buckskin Gulch
http://laurasrandomrants.blogspot.com/2012/09/buckskin-gulch.html
Friday, September 28, 2012. Look at me, posting again and not waiting four million days after I do whatever I want to actually remember. But really- it is mostly because I'm in my child development class (which is extra boring). My professor is just lecturing us on how we are all failures (or at least that's how I feel she is expressing herself) so I decided it was time to post about last weekend! It was an awesome hike! Our group (Kevin, Matt, Allan, Me, Luke, and Ved). For me, it was about waist high!
