Diary of a Semi-Health Nut

ramblings + recipes of a semi-healthy nut

Hi! I’m Amanda.

I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

People I love

Since this is partly my Diary/Scrapbook blog I have quite a few family and friends posts/references.  

Here is a guide to family in my posts plus my family/friend posts themselves.  (aka a brag book for my family):

Sis Courtney (or Sister C), Daddio, Me

Sis Courtney: My little sis (by 2 years).  She is super loving and awesome at gift-giving (a strength I envy).  She works at WalMart and is quickly working her way up.  She is also fairly fluent in Spanish due to working at a Chinese restaurant (haha the irony) and her spanish-speaking BF.

Daddio:  All things wonderful, patient and kind.  This awesome man lets me live with him rent-free (although I like to think I pay for my rent in test recipe meals and goodies).  He is an amazing Christian man whom I definitely look up to.

Mama Sue, Sis C, Me

Mama Sue: Loving mother to four great kids ;-), compassionate nurse, and gifted seamstress/knitter/quilter.  I’ve often told her she should have her own blog.  Maybe someday she will listen…  I also got my extreme love of coffee from her.

Me, Bro, Sis C, Sis R

Brother Josh: He is younger than me by five (?) years.  He is super super smart and an over-achiever.  Yes, bro, you are.  He got the state to pay for him to go to college (as in he gets college, room, board, books paid and gets a monthly allowance) and he also has an amazing internship.  Way to make us all look bad bro. 😉

Sis Rachel: This little fireball is younger than me by 12 years.  She has lots of energy (thus fireball) and is very smart as well.  She requested (and got) a telescope and a microscope for Christmas.  She is also fascinated with animals and wild life so I have a feeling she may be a zoo-keeper when she grows up.  She is also as tall as me and we can now share clothes. 😉

Me and BF (my boyfriend of 4 years)

BF (Dave): How can I talk about this guy without sounding mushy and making people pukey?  It won’t be easy, but here goes…he is awesome.  Probably the sweetest guy ever, even when I am a super-bi un-sweet person to him.  (yes I am grumpy on occasion)  He works hard on the railroad in management training.  He is also super handsome and my family loves him.  The end.
