sometimes i am convinced i have vertigo.
i saw a doctor show once that said that mild to moderate vertigo is because you loosen crystals that grown in your ear and they rattle around and hit your ear in the place that helps you balance and makes you experience vertigo.
sometimes i feel like im really slowly spinning. even if i have eaten normally and gotten plenty of sleep.
maybe my crystals are wonky.
because i am spinning...
sometimes i think about weddings.
okay, alot of times when i am scooting around blogland i think about weddings.
this is not to say that i think about my own wedding... i mean, sometimes i do, but im not one of those girls who plans out her wedding waaaaay before she ever needs to.
mostly i just really, REALLY like looking at wedding pictures.
everyone is always so happy and glow-y.
i have never ever seen a wedding picture in the blog-o-sphere that was dour in the least.
i like looking at happy pictures because it distracts me from the crazy stress of art school.
and also because morgan and i have jokingly (and i really hope seriously) talked about having an event planning business after college. especially if we both end up in kansas city for awhile after school, even if temporary.
so i consider these wedding blogs research for future business practice.

i zapped my computer with a cup of coffee...
well actually, i would like to blame work for being so tiny and messy that it made the coffee spill on its own.
i wont know the extent of the damage until later tonight when i have my apointment with the apple people.
ugh. i know, however, that they do not cover accidental damage, so they wont fix it for free with apple care.
hopefully my harddrive isnt wet, in which case i can get my files back, but not my blogs. i really just want my harddrive and my itunes and my bookmarks back. gosh. i hate accidents.

bad bad blogger

i've been a bad blogger...
but this semester has been rediculously rough.
i practically have no free time, and with what free time i do have i just crash and end up napping or zoning out on colin's couch.
mica's 2nd annual art market is coming up in december though, and im busily getting ready to sell alot of paper goods.
i'll imagine something interesting to write soon.

zucchini bread!

zucchini bread recipe!
this is my favorite of most favorites of breads... mostly because it is good hot or cold and keeps for a pretty long time (if you can keep any for later, usually it gets devoured right away.)
plus it's pretty darn easy...

ingredients:
3 cups all purpose whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups white sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup veggie oil
3 cups grated zucchini (about 3-4 large zucchini usually)
1 cup chopped walnuts if you want

directions:
preheat your oven to 350 degrees ferenheight.
stir together flour, salt soda, cinnamon and baking powder.
stir together eggs, sugar, vanilla and oil. stir grated zucchini into the egg mixture.
mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix well.
last, stir in the nuts if you would like them.
pour into 2 large greased loaf pans or one greased 13"x9" pan.
Bake at 350 degrees ferenheight for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
