Friday highlights | Getting things started

My weeks are usually pretty hectic. I look forward to my weekends with my whole soul. NO
SCHOOL. Well, that's actually not completely true. It isn't rare that some of my homework assignments get pushed to the weekend.

Hey, I TRY. I REALLY DO.

But sometimes things just happen. And this is true, peeps. Sometimes I just want to spend my Friday afternoons doing art with my Grammie, and not worrying about English assignments I should would usually be submitting. I can't tell you how much I stress over my English and I'm not even bad at it. It's just that I'm a perfectionist and I want every single assignment to be perfect. Thus, procrastination happens. #suckstobeaperfectionist #ihaveprocrastinationproblems

BUT ANYWAY. I didn't create this blog so that y'all could read about my school problems. This post was meant to portray how I postponed my virtual class assignments until the weekend so that I could enjoy my Friday. And let me just say, it was the best decision I made the whole week. ;)

One of my favorite things in the world is food. I love food. I love taking pictures of  food. I wake up in the morning to EAT FOOD. But only if it's good food. I always make a point of trying to make sure my food looks and tastes good before I eat it, even if I'm not taking a picture of it for my blog. Haha, yes. I am strange that way. But that's okay. So, for lunch on Friday I made myself a delicious salad and it hit. the. spot. Mmm. SO GOOD I DEVOURED IT AND THEN STARED AT THIS PICTURE WISHING I HAD MORE. 

Okay. Not for real, but you get what I mean. ;)

This last Friday was the very first "Art Class" of the school year, and I was so excited because I love it so much. My Grandma comes over every Friday and gives us an art lesson, and my siblings and I get to "ART", as I like to say, ALL AFTERNOON. It's literally the best thing ever. We get to take  the whole afternoon off of school and stuff just to learn and create art. I mean, what could be beter than that?! My Grammie is super amazing when teaching us art techniques. Sometimes I don't know how she can be so patient when trying to all teach all SIX OF US how to create something pretty. And it usually turns out, which is more than I can say for some of the stuff I do on my own. -_-

This week each of us started working on different animal eyes in colored pencil. I chose a cat eye, the one you see in the lower, right hand corner of the picture above^^. I am still working on it and will have it, or am supposed to have it done by this coming Friday. We worked with colored pencils last school year but never really finished it off, so we're gonna work on finishing it off and then I believe we are working with watercolors next (!!). Super excited; I love watercolors.

And then there's the pro artist working on his owl eye he chose ^^.

FLATZZAAAAAAA PIZZAAAA. I'M OBSESSED WITH THESE!!! I found these at Woodman's last Thursday and simply couldn't wait to try them out! I've always found it hard to healthify Friday night pizza because it's so hard to find a good crust. Like, no I really don't want to put cauliflower in my crust. Please, people. To be completely honest, I love cauliflower. It's one of my favorite vegetables. But I don't want to eat it in my pizza. I want something that resembles a real pizza crust, even if it means having a thin crust. So, my chances at eating yummy, healthy pizza were usually pretty slim. UNTIL NOW. THESE ARE LIKE THE BEST THING THAT I'VE EVER STUMBLED ACROSS IN PIZZA CRUST HISTORY. The "Flatzza" is perfect when you want a healthy crust that doesn't flop around or taste like nothingness. And trust me when I say that I've experienced both.

Anyway, I just had to share that cuz I was so extremely happy when I tasted the pizza I made on Friday because it tasted REAL. Pizza is definitely one of the main foods I miss when eating healthy. Real crusts are stock FULL OF CARBS that are against my food religion (haha, usually anyway). So, when I bit into MY VERY OWN MINI PIZZA my mouth simply exploded with goodness and I wanted to scream and laugh and devour it all at once. It made my day.

So, to wrap this all up I'm just going to say that I'm super glad that I finally got around to starting this blog up. It has taken me forever to get things going, so I'm really glad that I'm actually posting this right now!! This was kind of random for a first post, but I figured since I had all the photos and stuff that I might as well write about my favorite Friday things.
