Speechless...

Dear Reader,
No. It's actually more like wordless... Lately, I've been so focused on writing to please people. My teachers, my parents, my clients, they all expect perfection but there's only so much of the "perfectly worded" me to go around. If I keep dishing out the words at this rate, eventually I'm going to crack.

Does anybody else on the big, worldwide web know this feeling? The feeling of being so wordy without saying anything at all. I can write page after page about the effect that the Civil war had on pancakes in the South or the what pizza does when sprinkled with radium. (totally making this up by the way. I have no idea what effect radium has on pizza) I want to say something that will make people think long and hard about life, freedom, love, but how can I do that when my words are aimed at someone else and not me.

That's one of my resolutions.
Speak as if the room is empty.
Write as if no one is reading.
Express myself as if no one cares at all...

What I've Been Up To

Hello Internet!!! As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting on this site as regularly as I would like to. These past few weeks have been totally INSANE!! On Saturday, my friend's sister threw him a surprise party and I was given the task of keeping him busy all day which took a lot of time and planning. He ended up being very surprised so in the end, all of my effort paid off. (If you are reading this Cory, Happy Birthday next Friday) I have also been trying to get ready for the school year to start. I start my college classes on Monday the 22nd of August which is a week from today. My high school classes don't start until Wednesday though which is super nice. My schedule is a bit insane this year because I am taking classes from Utah Valley University along with my High School classes. As for this next week, not much is going on. I'm hoping to get some new posts up soon so stay tuned. Love you all!! ~Julie

Gluten Free Fudgy Brownie Recipe

This is the BEST brownie recipe that I have ever tried. My non-gluten-free father always tells me that these are WAY better than poisonous, oops I mean glutenous, brownies. :) #celiacsdisease I adapted this recipe from a King Arthur Flour Recipe to use the ingredients that I most commonly have on hand. I have found that these are best served when frozen.
