Foodie Friday: Sweet & Salty Rolo Snack (Super Easy) + Link-up

I was craving a sweet and salty snack and managed to come across this super delicious, super easy, 2-ingredient recipe on pinterest! 

What you need:

      1. Ritz crackers
      2. Rolos

What you do:

      1. Pre-heat oven to 325*
      2. Lay crackers on a baking sheet, salty side down
      3. Unwrap Rolos candy and put one in the middle of each cracker
      4. Place in oven for about 2 1/2 – 3 min (enough time for the candy to become soft)
      5. Take out of oven and place another cracker on top (salty side up)  pressing gently to  
          flatten candy
      6. Let cool and enjoy!! :)

A Peek into my Life as an ASL Interpreting Student (Video)

If you are a new follower here at Runner’s Luck, you may not know that I am going to school to obtain a 2nd degree, this time in American Sign Language interpreting.  If you will direct your attention to the top right hand of my sidebar you will notice I have a little countdown going for graduation… I can’t believe it’s coming up so soon!!  Anywho… I spend all of my time right now (and most of the past 2 years) going to class, doing homework, completing projects, studying, and going to practicum/internship (not to mention life outside of that which includes work, family, running, and crafting). 

That is why I thought it would be nice if you all could get a glimpse into this crazy life of mine and see what exactly an interpreting student does, because it really is consuming my life right now.  I did this artistic interpreting project for class last week and just found out I got an A on it so I decided to share it with you all!  Keep in mind it’s not perfect… It’s “Payphone” by Maroon 5!  Enjoy! :)

Tuesday Tidbits - April 2, 2013

This is going to be a bullet point list because I feel like I’m not writing as much that way and my grammar can be awful, but it doesn’t matter with a list! ;)

- If you’ll notice up in the right hand side of my blog, I’ve added a countdown to… [duh, duh, duhhh] … GRADUATION!!!  As of now, I have 37 days 21 hours 48 minutes and 15 seconds (that will definitely be less time by the time you all are reading this post!)

- That works out to about 10 more days of class, 8 more days of my internship (same days as classes), 20-30 hours of driving, 2 more big projects, 5 articles to read, 3 more quizzes, 8 more homework assignments, and lots of procrastination before I become a professional adult ;)

- I also added a “Giveaways” Button to my sidebar instead of listing out the giveaways right there on my sidebar because blogger’s link list app-y thing-y majig is not working… no big surprise that blogger isn’t working… right?! ;)  I should so switch to wordpress… I just don’t have the time or knowledge to do so right now…

- This week is spring break (as I mentioned in my weekly roundup) for the school I’ve been doing my interpreting practicum at.. which means I have class on tuesday and thursday from 4:30 – 7:20pm and maybe sub/work 2 days at the end of the week (county schools are on spring break til Wednesday) and that’s it…woohoo!! 

- That means that I’ll be working out, doing some reading, knitting/crocheting, maybe cooking/baking?!  AND… a little more blogging this week too!!  Just don’t get used to it ;) tehe

- My computer is still sick (wireless network card went caput) … the only time I can get on the internet is if I go out to the family room (opposite side of the house from my room) and plug it up with the blue cable… it’s so inconvenient and now I can’t multi-task by watching my shows and deleting them off of DVR at the same time I blog/do homework… so inconvenient! :-P

- This morning I woke up to temperatures in the teens with the windchill… that doesn’t seem right… where is spring?!  I remember it being in the low 80’s last year on spring break… crazy weather! Bring on the sunshine and warm weather!!!

- Ok, I think that’s it for me… no pictures in this post… sorry!  I’ll try to take more pictures! :)  BTW, did anyone get pranked yesterday for April Fool’s?  What happened?  Did you fall for the Bacon-flavored mouth wash?  totally disgusting! ;)

Last Week's Roundup


Please Spring… Hurry up Already!

The school where I am doing my practicum/internship at is on spring break this week which means I only work a couple days and have class myself on Tuesday and Thursday evening. I’m so excited to have a little “me” time :)  Saturday I didn’t even think about doing any homework! (Don’t tell my professors) ;)  Instead I got outside because it was around 60* and ran 3ish miles and the trail where I was running was right by a baseball field so after I ran and stretched, I walked over to the field to watch a little baseball!  It was a beautiful day! :)  I also finished one of my crochet projects that has been sitting for a while (4 years) haha! whoops!  Here’s to a fun, relaxing spring break! (too bad the weather is still cold)  :(
