Ice Cream - Me & My Container


Well this was quite a feat for me! I love ice cream, but I have to be in the mood to eat straight from the container. I like to have either a small cone or a full-out banana split, but I couldn’t imagine that ice cream would tase just as good without the additional sweets. Let me tell you - it was just as delicious! I chose Ciao Bella Mango Sorbet.

Starbucks Secret Menu - Apple Juice Orange Blossom


This was definitely different from any Starbucks drink I have ever ordered, but it was a wonderful change! It was sweet, smooth, and slightly tangy.
Order an orange blossom Tazo tea steeped in apple cider.

Finger Painting With My Brother




Setting: a rainy day in Washington. Characters: my younger brother and I.
We finally decided to pull out the finger paints and make a few pieces of art. My brother and I really enjoyed the feeling of paint on our hands so we made handprints and a flame-like painting using our red and yellow painted hands. We had a blast! I’m definitely saving these.

Vintage Wedding Show


I went to a Vintage Bridal Show a couple days ago with my godmother at a local parish and snapped this photo of a dress I liked. The show itself was adorable - older ladies flounced around the space in early 20th century dresses and special occasion outfits while a pianist played time pieces in the background and the master of ceremonies discussed the dress and the time period in which it originated. They served coffee and tea (I chose tea, of course) and a variety of cookies. It was delightful! I just wish I had taken more photos of the dresses and outfits I liked.

Starbucks Secret Menu - Cookies and Cream Frappuccino


The first item on the Starbucks Secret Menu I ordered. Although the barista put a tad too much peppermint syrup, it still had the nice cookies and cream flavor.
Order a white chocolate mocha frappuccino with java chips and a half a pump (for a grande) of peppermint syrup.

Breakfast At Dillin: A Poem

Write a short poem: Breakfast at Dillin, the Cafeteria

O breakfast at Dillin
Were it not for your bad food
I wouldn’t eat brunch
But alas I desire an omelette

It doesn’t exactly make sense to those that do not attend Linfield College, but my friends and I wrote this together while sitting in the cafeteria at the weekend brunch.
