Tie Up Your Boots!

5 Things I Love About Winter

1. Fireplaces.
What could be better than cozying up with someone (boyfriend) in front of a warm fireplace? Gah. Love it.

2. Victorian Christmas.
For those who don't live in Nevada County, we have a night market with Christmas carolers and vendors and hot chocolate and it just sets the season. Best.

4. Christmas Music
I'm not talking about cheesy Christmas tunes revamped by Taylor Swift, I'm talking about Nat King Cole and company playing in our living room as we decorate the tree.

3. "Home for the holidays"
Helloooo, all my favorite people come home! What could be better than that?!

5. Christmas Dinner
Dressing up pretty, eating our classic meal, and plum pudding. Plum pudding, how I adore thee. The perfect wrap-up to a wonderful day

Just A Reminder...

PLEASE text me with your name in the message. New phone, new contacts, starting off fresh. So if you haven't texted me with your information yet, don't expect me to call you any time soon, cause I ain't got yo info sucka!

Spinach and Cheese

Yay yay yay I love learning new things!
Yesterday I learned how to make handmade ravioli. I got the recipe from The Food Network.
It was so much fun! But sooo difficult. Enjoy the photos, and I encourage you to try making something new this Christmas season!


Happy holidays, my readers. And if you have anything in particular you would like me to blog about.. email your ideas to aalexandraseal(@)gmail(.)com

Private School

"Latin is only a quiz on chapter 40, because jesus loves me...
and seminar is going to rock so hard, its and oral final,
so its essentially a conversation with Mr. Ferrier
(who = socrates + santa claus) about awesomenesss"

Cabin Fever After One Day

Hi.
It's cold.
21 degrees outside right now.
My dad says that when it's late and I get tired, I get "weepy"
and tonight is one of those nights.
So as I hop into bed, here are some photos from today.
Philip, and whoever else who is reading this that might be missing home,
I send you my love and warm fuzzy feelings to cheer you up until you see the snowy hills of Nevada County again. Let's cross our fingers for another white Christmas, shall we?

Cut Me Some Slack

Today:
I wish I knew someone who had a slackline.
Anyone?

Giving Up, Or Giving In.

In The Past

Mount Hermon Website

An old friend from camp just sent me a link to the Mount Hermon website, where we went together back in 2007. We were on the banner! I had to let out a laugh, remembering all the fun we had that week. I'm still smiling. What an amazing week that was.

Ah, one of the many memories we shared as a cabin.
Eating spaghetti lunch with no hands,
as well as ice cream. Oh the yesteryears!
