boba!

strawberry boba recipe!

san diego is a lovely city. its the biggest city i've ever lived in. there is always something going on. its warm. its next to the ocean. (however the weather right by the ocean is always perfect). its next to mexico (tacos?!). its where my school is. i love san diego. 

here are some of the good things about sd.

first up, my school has a soft serve machine. vanilla, chocolate and swirl. best part of every lunch, thats for sure.

my roomie brooke. we have so much fun together. she is a free spirit and a joy to be around.

 the beach. nothing more needs to be said.

 the library at my school. specifically, the theology room. heaven.

sunday starbucks date/bible study tradition with zachary. we have recently really been into the carmel frapp with coconut syrup and flakes (it tastes like a girl scout cookie!)

swap meets.

i got feathers and an old pocket watch at the swap meet, along with two animal shirts and teal jeans (that i turned into cutoffs) all for less than $11!!! and its every saturday! 

san diego is a wonderful place, let me tell ya.

fill in the blank friday

1.   One of life's most simple pleasures is     sweet tea.

2.    People who have horrible driving habits & traffic  makes me want to punch someone.

3.  I like   my Zachary    because,    he is cute  .

4.    phenomena   is a funny word.

5.  If I had to choose one beauty product to use for the rest of eternity it would be    johnson & johnsons lavender chamomile lotion.

6.  I'm happy that    its a girls night tonight & that we are going thrifting/swap meeting tomorrow .

7.  I would never    wake up early if i didnt have to. or choose to speak in front of a lot of people.

shark week

well i will tell you something. i love shark week. and we were gone all of the exact dates of it and so i did not get to celebrate it during the actual time so i did a little bit late. yesterday, we watched 2008 shark week reruns & also jaws and we ate all the junk food in the world and it was a lovely celebration.

anyways, here are some photos & facts in honor of the greatest discovery channel week of the year!

there are about 30-50 reported shark attacks annually. only 20 of the 350 shark species attack humans. 

humans kill over 73 million sharks annually.

sharks livers contain a lot of oil which makes it a relatively buoyant organ, helping sharks keep balance in the water.

great white, mako & salmon sharks will drown if they stop moving. they need water constantly running over their gills and they don't have the muscles to do it themselves if they stop moving.

whale sharks are the worlds biggest fish. they can give birth to up to 300 baby whale sharks in one litter!!!

sharks skeletons are made completely of cartilage, an elastic cartilage that is much softer than bones. when a shark dies, salt from the water dissolves the cartilage leaving behind only the sharks teeth.

                                  

I LOVE SHARK WEEK.

all pictures & facts from here. check it out to watch episodes & videos from this years shark week!
