Ode to a Greek Pot

My final assignment for my Humanities class was to decorate an ancient Greek pot. This was by far the worst project I have ever had in my entire lift. Luckily, I have the best man a girl could ask for and he helped me paint it. All in all, I spent over 12 hours on this thing (writing a paper included). There was a lot of Dr. Pepper involved.....However, it was all worth it in the end when a got a 95! But still, we are going to smash it later.
I decided to post pictures of this great pot in progress.

Beginning  - Vase purchased at Michaels

Handles molded out of clay

7 Layers of terra cotta paint

The Power of Scripture

I started reading talks from this past General Conference, the very first one is "The Power of Scripture" by Elder Richard G. Scott. I loved it! One of my favorite quotes:

"Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, hope, and a restoration of confidence in one’s ability to overcome the challenges of life. They have potent power to heal emotional challenges when there is faith in the Savior."


Because of this talk I have committed to a CHALLENGE: I will start and finish the Book of Mormon by New Years! I feel like I always get stuck in the middle, but I a determined to not get distracted!
I love the Book of Mormon, I really really do but I admit that I have only read it through all the way twice in my lifetime. I hope to change that by the end of the year

What It Means to Be A Cougar

I just like the part where it says "If you're going to be a cougar, you're gonna have to shave off that facial hair." HA!

Exotic

I really love unique animals so I thought I would make a list of all the pets I would like to one day have.

1. A Duck

2. Slow Loris

3. Hedgehog

4. Fennec Fox

5. Alpaca

6. Miniature Pig

HALLOWEEN!

Yes, I start planning my Halloween costume months in advance.
I've narrowed it down to a few options and I would like your help voting.

1. Minion - Despicable Me
Will everyone get this?

2. Kat Von D. - L.A. Ink
I just think it would be cool to draw all over myself and wear leather!

3. Kissing Booth

I don't have a picture, but I would wear all black, red lipstick and create some sort of box that I would wear???

Help me out!

Open 24 Hours A Day

I've been having trouble sleeping lately (which I found out runs in my family!) so yesterday at 1:30 am I was wide awake. So I decided to make hot spinach and artichoke dip. Off to Smith's I went. I discovered, grocery shopping after midnight is AWESOME! Here's why:

1. Rockstar parking (because the lot is empty)
2. It's quiet and not crowded inside the store -- I had nice, peaceful, thinking time
3. No lines at checkout
4. They were stocking groceries so I had everything fresh!

Pretty much, I will do all my shopping at 1:30 am from now on....
