The problem with not being hungry anymore..
..is never knowing when your full.
I haven't been hungry in about three weeks, so i've been making myself eat at least one real meal a day. But now that i'm home, we usually eat big meals or eat out, and i never can tell i'm full until it's to late. :(
I lose either way.

Diary of an Ex-Fiancée.
This ex-boyfriend/break up business freaking sucks. (why bother saying ex-fiancée since he didn't even really want to be engaged) It's kind of weird that to me, he was the boy i was planning on spending the rest of my life with. To him, i was his starter girlfriend.
I have learned a lot of information about myself and relationships in general though, which i suppose will help me in the present and future. And i have had a tremendous support system. Family, family friends, my S. Florida, Orlando and Internet friends...I'm a really lucky gal in that department.
Everyday gets a little easier, sometimes i feel like I'm going in reverse. Sometimes i feel like caving and talking to him, but most of the time I'm doing alright. I just hope it gets better soon. I need to get on with my life, without feeling hindered by my emotions.

Scrapbook Challenge
I signed up for a swell scrapbook swap with my Red Velvet class mates.
This was very good for me. It pushed me to really make something with a time limit. Which is something i need right now.
Obviously, when is started these pages last week i was in a very sad state. I'm not quite as sad as these pages project, but i still have a lot of healing to do.
I know i have a lot of work to do, creativity to find, and enough supplies to own an art store, so I'm hoping over time I'll get better and really enjoy crafts again.
Two of my class mates, Ashley and Laura started a scrapbook challenge blog that i'm very excited about! Check them out!!

Opperation: Retail Therapy
I have a really hard time spending money on myself. I'm very frugal. Alas, when i found all these amazing things at Marshell's, i decided to treat myself.
The best part? I used my birthday money from my Grandma and a random gift card i found and TA DA! I only paid 10$ of my own money.
Huzzah!!

Oh, how i love bananas.
I've been writting blogs about how much i adore bananas, and was so so sad i finally had like 10 bananas, but they were all going bad. Alas, i made these wonderous muffins to save my bananas!
Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients
* 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
* 1/3 cup melted butter
* 1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* Pinch of salt
* 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Method
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.
I made mine in a muffin pan instead of a bread pan, and added cranberries and walnuts and they were scrumptious. I highly recommend these, they were so tasty, and they stayed fresh for a whole week. (if you wait a whole week to eat them)
