Economics

It's soo interesting! Well okay, maybe not for all of you but I like it. There's a book called Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. It explains all about economics and how it works in a general overview. He compares the government solutions to short term effects and long term effects. The main thing he says is to always look at long term results even if short term results seem to be bad. Anyways, I've always thought economics was rather interesting. =)

Happy Father's Day!

Yay! The day to celebrate cool dads is here! Happy Father's Day to all that are fathers.

Here it's raining though, so that's kinda annoying, but I suppose it's good to have rain in the summer. But in my oppinion it's supposed to be a nice sunny day for Father's Day.. I guess the weather didn't get the memo.. hehe.

No-Bake Cookies

I just got finished making these cookies and have put them on a piece of wax paper to set. These are the best cookies ever invented! They're too delicious to pass up when you see the recipe lying on the counter. They're oat chocolate cookies that have been delectably enhanced by the peanut butter that is in the recipe. Another reason, I'm sure, is that we have Hersey's cocoa powder that we use. Oh, and it calls for 2 cups of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of corn syrup (aka sugar). ;) Like I said, the best cookies ever invented!

(Okay, you can call me Cookie Monster if you'd like, hehe)

"...It's just Amburgers and Wootbeer..."


"...Okaay?"

Hehe, well it wasn't A&W last night but it was Barq's rootbeer at Sonic. They had free (repeat, free!) rootbeer floats from 8pm till 12 am! Mom and Dad were really nice and took Patrick and I there to get one. And boy were they packed out till at least 10:30! (We arrived at 10) Now we know what time to get them if we want one next year. They are sooo yummy! It's creamy when the ice cream is in with the rootbeer, and just soo spectacular! We also saw some friends there while were there too. Hehe, to quote her: "Happy floating!" Anyways, that was the second highlight of my day, besides the Horizon organic chocolate milk.

Mmmmmm!

Yumminess!

After a part-time work at GFA, chocolate milk sounded pretty good to me. So, I went down to Christy's desk to see what she was up to, hehe. I just so happen to be in time for a quick kitchen run for a snack. Hehe, she was hungry too. (Well, accually, she wanted some caffine). So, I joined her. =D I was pretty happy that they had organic Horizon chocolate milk left in the fridge. Anyways, my day was quite complete while I was drinking it. It's soooooo smooth and just too good to resist!

Retreat!! Retreat!

This is a cry you'd hear in a battle when one side is losing or when they need to regroup so as to have a stronger force when they end up as the minority. But in the case of this past Memorial weekend, it was a cry of joy. Everyone got Friday off, as well as Memorial day, and we all headed down to Huntsville, Texas to enjoy a bit of a rest and fun times. =) Mostly I was just hanging out and took some pictures. But I also got to do some swimming, soccer, and a few other things. The guys on Saturday all did a serious game of Basketball and some of us watched them play. It was quite fun to watch, and I still can't believe they played for two hours! And then some of them played soccer right after. Hehe, wow, talk about lots of energy! (Or some might think), ;) Oh and not to mention all of the rain we got.. *sniff* *sniff* I have a cold now... Well, I'm sure that it's own fault that I have it, hehe, I played soccer in the rain, and was rather damp most of the day. Yay for coffee at dinner!! It was a life saver.. =)
