Tatiana, Obama, and Me

Hello Hello Hello!

How are all of my loverly peeps today? I am just rosy. Thanks for asking.

So this week has been odd... in the good way if there is a good odd....

ANYWHO

On Sunday......Well, Sunday morning was normal. Our pastor preached a good sermon and Sunday School was AMAZING. Our pastor's daughter came to my house just to hang out before we had to go back to church that afternoon. Puppets was good. Still need to point some stuff out to some younger people though. Choir was... O.K. We sang that night and it was uneventful. The pastor's sermon that night, though, really hit home. He talked about taming the tongue. Wow, was that ever thought provoking.

Monday, Lit was odd and weird and funny and many other different adjectives. We had an open book quiz we did at home that we were checking. Turns out MY version of the book was a tad different than everyone else's. O.K., IT IS NOT MY FAULT! We were all laughing at my book at the end of class but, thankfully, everyone was laughing WITH me not AT me.

Tuesday, I was feeling crummy but my mom INSISTED I go to Spanish. Well, thankfully, my Spanish teacher is really nice. We feasted on hot tea and chocolate covered pretzels and spoke Spanish for 2 hours. After Spanish, I went to get my passport. O.K., I know all of you guys are wondering "Where is she going?". Well, I am going to England in August for my birthday. So, my mom, my dad, and I went to the post office about 30 minutes before it closed. The line stretched out the door. Thankfully, that door was inside so my parents and I waited in semi-warmth. After waiting for what seemed like an hour, all my passport paperwork and such was done and we headed home.

Wednesday! Wednesday was crummy. Well, I was feeling crummy at least, so I could not go to my Piano lesson or to church. So, I banged on the piano at home for an hour or so while my brother was yelling at me to stop and my nose was running like Niagara Falls and I was coughing like Mr. Poe in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Ah yes, good times. Anyway, that night I was pleased to watch Tatiana del Torro get kicked from American Idol. That girl reminds me of my sister, being such a drama queen and all. I know this sounds mean, but I enjoyed watching her pity party she was having on stage.

Today, so far, has been so-so. I woke up pretty late with a sore throat. It is not awful but my apatite has not been there, so basically my first meal of the day was at 3:00 this afternoon. And, my mom told me that Obama's popularity has diminished lately. Oh, my. I wonder why?

So that is my summary of the last few days. Being sick for all of it was not fun but I am doing better. I just ask you guys to pray for my health.

Love you guys! Have a good week!

Happy Single's Awareness Day!

Good Morning! And happy Single's Awareness Day!

Lol, yah I guess you guys can tell I'm single (as usual), but, hey, I'm not rushing it.

So I went to my grandmother's house last night and played on the wii. Mostly Wii fit....

Oww

I can feel it this morning..... It feels like my middle has been in a fight and is all brused up.... No kidding....

So right now I am just writing a short blog post and then going up to work on my extremely messy room. Oh joy.

Yah, so I'll head up now.
Happy (fine) V-Day to all of you!

Elementery, My Dear Watosn!

Heyyyyy guys!

So, I am taking a much needed break from writing my Lit. essay. I guess that's the reason for the title (we read Sherlock Holmes last semester). So, if you want a sucidal play to read, just read Antigone. I won't elaborate, just read it for yourself.

*Ahem* Anyway,

I'm kind of excited. I have one follower! I won't mention the fact that I know her. Ah, but hopefully this blog will grow and blossom in time. *sigh* I can only hope.

Anyho

I picked up a book at Target (yes target! There are actually books at Target! Who woulda thunk!) that my friends Hannah and Jenny have read called Uglies. That book is really interesting. I won't tell you everything about the book, but I will tell some stuff. *BEWARE! SPOILERS AHEAD*---->

It's really interesting how, in the future earth this book is set in, you start out as a littlie, than an ugly (both of these stages you go to school and study how stupid the past earth-dwellers called "rusties"were), then, at 16 (or whatever age the rulers of your town decide), you get this operation (that is kind of like plastic surgury, only to the extreme), and you turn into a "pretty" and you are beautiful with perfect skin, perfect bones, perfect eyes, perfect everything, and you live the rest of your "new pretty"life partying.

Ok, that, in itself, is weird. Is that what America will come to? I shudder at the thought! After turning 16, we turn into some brainless bimbo who partys for a living until we are "middle pretties" and start thinking about working? That is scarey. I would sooo hate that. And, it kindof hearkins back to my preveous entery. The standards for the teen years (or the "new pretty" years in the book) have dropped. So, were expected to "party" during these years of out lives, and not think about working until college or later? That is just sad, not to mention annoying for the few teens who actully want to live differently than that pitiful standard

So, I havn't finished it, so I don't know what the main charicter's inportant decision will be...

Thanks for reading! I gotta run!

It's the Pits, Doing Hard Things, New Houses, Life in General

Ok, so I know I havn't posted a new blog post in a while but life has been crazy.

For one, I have been sick for the past week. Ugg I hate being sick but it's a part of life everyone has to deal with. And, sadly, being sick might keep us from going to things we were REALLY looking forward to...

Like Winter Jam, for instance.....

Ok, I won't vent too bad on you guys, but I was really looking forward to Winter Jam (check it out!-http://www.hearitfirst.com/jamtour/)sigh.... Well, anyway, my brother got to go. I guess that sent me over the edge. Why does HE get to go and not ME? But my mom pointed out that God has a reason for everything.... I missed Winter Jam for a reason.....and only He knows what the reason is. I may never know. I won't lie, that annoys the boogyman out of me but I just have to deal with it.

Another of my new discoveries is the book Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris. That book is AMAZING. It talks about how the standard for the teen years is really low, and we are basicly expected to do only what it takes to get by. Wow. You can read Alex and Brett's story and a whole lot more in the book or on their website- http://www.therebelution.com/

I'm going to be moving soon! Yay! I guess.... well, my family is building a house right across the street from my grandparent's house, just to be closer to them just in case something happens or whatnot. Anyho, the building process is taking FOREVER and so is packing. We want to be ready. Yah, life is crazy, but when is it not?

So, yah. That's pretty much it for now.
See you guys soon! I'm going to put some moistureiser on my poor nose. Ugg it's the pits being sick.....
