Happy Christmas from tanith k!
I hope Santa was super nice to each of you this year!
I asked this question constantly when I was a kid. My parents hated the drone of "are we there yet?" coming from the back seat. To appease me, they told me: "Twenty minutes, Tanith." I'm sure it's been more than twenty minutes... Are we there yet?

2011/12/23 - Chili Recipe!
Two post in one week? Someone stop this gurl!
One of my favorite hobbies is cooking. Not many people know that about me - my flatmates are always asking what I'm making and how I make my meals look so pretty (I don't know the answer to that latter part... I just like pretty food? Presentation is everything after all!) Today, I had a cooking experiment. I really wanted chili, but none of the recipes I looked up were what I wanted nor did I have all the ingredients. I'm poor and in grad-school, you really think I can afford all of those fancy food items? I had a pound of meat in my freezer - it's been in there for awhile and took up a bunch of space.
So it came to me! Make my very own recipe up! Now, I've never done this before. I've altered recipes and made them more suited to my tastes and cooking styles, but making up my own? Adventure time! It was so good that I had two bowls. <3 Kristy made some cornbread muffins to accompany the meal. Yummy! My flatemate Katie and her sister, Sarah, joined us. It was a delicious meal on this chilly day (punnnn)! Really hit the spot. :D

2011/12/22 - Medieval Field Trip + Life Update
Hello everyone! : ) I hope that you are doing well. Me? I'm all right. I can't complain too much. I thought today was going to be an awesome day. 11 degrees Celsius, bright and beautiful sun outside, a gentle breeze. I was gonna have a photo day!
Until I mucked it all up by twisting my ankle during badminton. Curses! Foiled again. Now, that said, it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. It took me about five minutes of swearing lovingly at myself to calm down. Kristy was super kind and sat on the floor next to me in order to make it seem like we were pow-wowing instead of me dying from pain. A nice boy at the gym came over to check on me too - "You went down but you didn't get back up. I wanted to make sure that you were okay." So I guess it really wasn't that bad. I made it home okay, but climbing the stairs up to my room? Oh gawd. Talk about a challenge. Stairs still are a challenge. However! The swelling went down well before I made it home and now I just gotta deal with stiffness. Hooray! Progress.
But that's neither here nor there. In more exciting news, here's a story from roughly a month ago because I'm slow and irresponsible when it comes to updating here. Aren't you guys the luckiest?
Snapped this one from my kitchen 15 minutes after sunrise this morning before heading to the gym. <3

2011/12/11 - Updates and Birthdays
Happy Birthday, Maaz! Yaaaay!
Now that the important bit is out of the way, I can get to the boring stuff. Like the rest of my Dublin trip... It's not that I don't like you, I'm just at a party of school and socializing and busy busy. Xmas is coming up, so I've been busy with writing out my cards, getting a couple gifts together to send home, et cetera.
