stream of consciousness

a stream of consciousness, brought to you by the brain of jackie servideo. 

hallelujah praise the lord on highhhh!! SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN UPSTATE NY!!!. 

no more of that!! 

natural vitamin d makes me giddy like a soccer mom likes her new minivan. 

i made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from here to send to my friend erinn, (for her birthday) who deserted me for a                            higher education. 

i made the first batch at 9'o clock and forgot to put oatmeal in. good job, jackie!! 

then i redid them and they were fantastic. i love a cake-y cookie. 

when i was at the post office sending them off, the clerk asked if there were any "flammables, explosives, illegal substances..." and i replied "nope just cookies!" he did not crack even the slightest smirk. 

my coworker got the cutest.cat.EVER. fits in the palm of your hand!! so soft and fluffy and cute.

  proof.

i hate to say it but it might even be cuter then my chubby boy. 

i can't decide. also the camera adds ten pounds. 

i wrote a kick a$& paper for my ethics class. five glorious pages about adoption, one of my favorite topics. i just know that God will use me someday in the hard, beautiful, god-glorifying process. 

i need to use my big girl camera more often. i need some subjects. 

this little chick make a great one. 

but my fave subjects ever are thousands of miles away. 

love her. love the smile. love red dirt. 

a man at my church sang the song below. if you're in the mood to cry. listen. 

happy monday!

(i secret love monday's, love a good fresh start.) 

former habitat.

happy birthday to the woman who's uterus was once my habitat, endured 13 hours of labor to bring me into this world and reminds me of it daily, and raised me with just enough dysfunction to make me funny!!

artificially colored bread.

a few weeks ago i saw this sweet video on youtube...

i thought it was wicked, to say the least, and was thinking of the best time/event to make this despite my fear of excessive food coloring (yet my fave cupcake is red velvet:). i ended up making it in a pinch for this bake sale my art class was having to raise money and there would be a prize for the most artistic. i enjoy wining and competing, especially with a food competition sign me up! 

i make the shiz and it comes out like every food bloggers should...

awesome. 

enjoy my real life. 

Happy Monday!!

passed.

a week and a half late but...

                          

               I PASSED MY ROAD TEST!!!!

it feels so good to have near complete independence!! and i'm a road trip aficionado so now ill finally be the one to do the driving!!! the first place I drove to by myself was a pitstop to  Starbucks while on the way to church! 

(the product)

(the aftermath) 

God basically did the legwork for me I was pretty nervous even though I was totes ready, i just get the benefits now! 

And thanks to my amazing friends that prayed for me!!

quote tuesday!

if you think you are too small to make a difference, you haven't spent a night with a mosquito. 

-African Proverb

 

(praying with some of my favorite teenages ever before building a community garden in a government run housing village)

Happy Sunday!

 Is it just me or does this verse make God sound like a mobster that shops at the mens big and tall section? What?
