alex's scattering

so this blog is the scattering of my brain whenever i feel like i need to write down the craziness of my world before it pours out of my mouth forcing some unsuspecting victim to listen to it all! be prepared for lots of randomness now that im a student and working for God!

it was inevtiable. one of us had to do it eventually. but why me?! today?! got in from church (which was our youth service and went fantstically well) dumped my stuff in my room and went to make crumpets cos i was really hungry. came back to my room to enjoy them only to find my door had slammed shut and my keys were inside! like any true woman i went running to a man. my wonderful house mate reminded me that i had opened my window and then proceeded to ask our nxt door neighbours for a ladder. Edd was able to climb through my window and open the door therefore diverting the terrible terrible disaster that could have occured.
lesson learnt today- get copy of key cut and keep outside of bed room and two always go running to a man in times of crisis!

been making some very exciting cakes today in our new oven! They are choc cup cakes but cooked in ice cream cones. the recipie said to put three heaped tea spoons in each one but i was only able to put 1 and a bit in. was a little worried but i need not have been! it all rose dramatically and most of them overflowed! still, having tasted one or two of the extra bits they taste great. have now iced and them and am very excited about taking them to house group! will def be making these again!

my brother and i are meant to be going to a family reunion dinner thing in two weeks over the weekend. its usualy ok and a geat time to talk to each other and laugh about our bizare older relatives. however he discovered last night that he booked the wrong week off work and there is no way of having it off.this is a prob as our gran and aunt pay for the room and dinner and its prob too close to cancel and get a refund now. so the only good thing to come of it may be that phil can come instead, which would be cool. still annoying and awaiting the verdict from our dad and gran...
