Pumpkin from scratch

This weekend my friend Gina and I decided to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. This was quite the adventure for us, considering the fact that we didn't know where to start. We contemplated over a cup of coffee "which part of the pumpkin do you even use?" (yeah, i felt pretty dumb) You should have seen us in the kitchen... well, I was probably the most humorous to watch. After some trial and error we ended up with something that actually looked like a pumpkin pie and tasted like a pumpkin pie. I was very proud of us... pumpkin pie from scratch. Way to go Gina and Sara! :)

roommates who think they are linebackers

Sunday I had kind of a funny accident before heading to church. I was walking down the hall and didn't know my roommate was right behind me -- so i turned around really quick and smacked my eye socket on her forehead.... almost knocked me out I tell ya. 3 days later and my eye socket still feels bruised, unfortunately it didn't turn into a black eye so I don't have proof of the run in. Don't worry Fawn, I know it wasn't your fault. Purely accidental. & Funny. It did, however, bring back bad memories of a time in highschool when we were playing a basketball tournament. The ball was just inbounded to me... and i have no clue what my teammate Liz was doing right behind me, she should've been down the court, but I had the exact same type of run in. Turned around - SMACK! - Knocked me out cold. My own teammate took me out of the rest of the game & tournament and I had to spend hours in a Turkish hospital... not fun. But I did get special treatment from everyone the rest of the trip (including being woken up every hour through the night) and a great bunch of dozen roses & card reading "sorry about your accident" from my boyfriend at the time. .... there are perks to injuries I guess.... Fawn, where's my special treatment? just kidding.
