Bangs?

I've had bangs on and off over the last couple years, and I can never quite make up my mind. Every time I grow them out long enough to stick them behind my hears, I see a picture of someone like the lovely Jenny Lewis and I want to cut them again. So I'm taking a poll, should I cut them like hers...

or keep growing everything out like the lovely Hadley Hartz?

Peanut Butter Dip

Every time I make this, people beg for the recipe. It is quite amazing, I must say. You want it? You got it!

Peanut Butter Dip
Blend together:
1/2 C of your favorite brand of creamy peanut butter
1/2 C of plain yogurt
1/4 tsp of Cinnamon
1/4 C of mini chocolate chips

Tadah! You just had your life changed. I often top it off with some more chocolate chips. Serve it with slices of apples, graham crackers, pretzels, I've even seen some crazed people put it on potato chips and vegetables. It makes just about anything taste good.

Stars and Stripes Forever

I have several friends who, earlier this week, revealed that they didn't know who John Phillip Sousa was. This is for them, and for you. Please enjoy my favorite patriotic march by the world's greatest marching band, the Marching Illini. Happy Independence Day!

I'm a dirty rotten liar.

So... that Monday two weeks ago when I said I was back to blogging turned out to be a sham. I should have known it would be. Preparing for Super Summer took some serious time, especially since I was gone the week before that as well. Anyway, here I am now. I don't think I'll make any promises this time. I know I still have a lot going on.

For example, my kittens got fleas. It's pretty much a nightmare. They're monthly flea medication just didn't do the job this time. Sweet are my kittens, but vile are the fleas. I'm doing everything in my power to end this quickly. It's taking up a great deal of my time.

Also, I have the great joy of planning a bridal shower for one of my best friends! Unfortunately, I'm running out of time.

Alright, you've heard all of my lame excuses for not blogging. I suppose I also just haven't been feeling bloggy lately. If you want more C-Bass, you can follow me on Twitter and Facebook.

Back to Blogging!

Hello out there in Blog-o-land! Uh, is this thing on? I SAID HELLO OUT THERE IN BLOG-O-LAND! Anyone? I guess everyone got tired of waiting (over a month) for me to post!

Well, in the month since I last posted, a lot has happened! I finished school, had an inland hurricane, found some kittens, had family and friends visit, went on some adventures, broke my iPhone, had my hard drive fail, saw an old friend get married, learned the proper way to make a pie, celebrated my grandparents' 50th anniversary, and much much more!

I can't wait to go backwards and write about all these things, but for now, I need to get to work on some other things. My re-cap will begin tomorrow. For now, please enjoy this picture cataloging my curly, red, poodle hair and scrunched purple socks..

You can pick our vacation destination!

We just don't know where we ought to go on our mini-vacation this summer. Since we are so indecisive, we're leaving it up to YOU, our faithful readers. We have narrowed it down to three destinations. Our options were limited, of course, by Kyle's crazy work schedule. It makes it very difficult to get away, but also makes it that much more important to get away.

Here's the rundown-
Option #1: Caverns, 'Coasters, & Cardinals
Meramec Caverns/ Six Flags, STL/ Cardinals Game

Option #2: Bluegrass, Birds, & Barbeque
International Bluegrass Museum/ John James Audobon State Park/ Moonlite Bar-B-Q

Option #3: Rights, Rumors, & Redbirds
National Civil Rights Museum/ Center for Southern Folklore/ Memphis Redbirds Game

You can vote from now until May 15. Thanks for your participation! Now pick out a good vacation for us, would you?

I don't think this is right.

This stupid Nutrigrain commercial has good intentions, but has a negative effect on me. Instead of causing me to want to make healthier decisions, I just see donuts, pizza, brownies, Chinese, and Starbucks and get hungry! Blast you, Nutrigrain!
