Success!

I am so proud of myself you have no idea! I ate so well during my four christmases, i never went overboard and it paid off in the end. I weighed myself today, which isn't usually my weigh in day, but anyway I lost 4.2 pounds. Amazing! haha
Anyway, to answer mary's question from my last blog, next semester I am taking English, biology, and 2 animal health classes. I actually thought i told you guys this in one of my other blogs, but oh well. So ya, I am pretty excited about the animal health classes, they should be interesting. The thing Im not liking so much is the fact that they are only given at night. But, thats okay, i just made my bio clas in the evening too, and my english is online, so i will deal. Well, i had a great week of christmas, haha, and I hope everyone else had fun too, talk to ya'll later bye!

I did it!

I just looked up my grades for my first semester in college, and I got 3 A's and one B. Whohoo! I got an A in english, child 10, and anthro 31, and then a B in anthro 43. That is so much better than I thought I would get. I am so happy, my GPA is 3.76. Anyway, I can't wait for christmas eve eve and christmas eve, talk to you guys later, bye!

I'm So Excited!

I weighed myself today, and I lost 3 pounds. But the reason I am excited is because I was on my my "you know what" this hole week and I was so proud of myself for not going over board with the sweets. I have been doing so well, and I can't really excerise yet because of my knee, but i try to go on my stationary bike or walk a little around the block. Anyway, just wanted to fill you in, i will talk to ya'll later bye!

Finals are over!

I am done!! I am so happy it's break time, you have no idea. For being my first semester, it was okay. I will never take two anthro classes together at the same time ever again, haha. But, I think I did okay for my first time in college. I hated my last two finals, i don't think I did so well on them. So, I am hoping that I don't get less than a C in any of my classes. Anyway, I can't wait for all the christmas parties we are going to have, I am just so excited. Well, I will talk to you guys later, hope everyone is well, bye!

I got my haircut, finally!

My mom and I went today, and i got it a little layered and short. I like it because I wanted it kind of short this time. I have been studying all weekend, i have one final tomorrow but it shouldn't be that hard. Anyway, I can't believe the weather this weekend, it is freezing, you can see your breath outside. Well, that was a random blog, but oh well, I will talk to ya'll later, bye!!

Yay for bonding!

My brother and I had a brother/sister moment today. I was having a little trouble at home concerning my mom, and he talked me through it and made me feel kind of better. Anyway, so i thanked him for it, because he was understanding what I was going through, because I am having some issues with my mom right now. But, ya so I think that was our first real brother/sister bonding moment that we have had, even though it was through texting haha. Well, just wanted to update, my finals are next week and then I am out for break, whohoo!! I will talk to ya'll later, bye!

Almost done!

Two more weeks to go and then I am am done with my first semester. I registered for spring 2009, and I am going to take Bio 10, Eng 1a, and 2 animal health classes. So, I am excited about that, even though all the classes are at night.

<----- I thought it was funny.

Doing Good!

So, I weighed myself this week, and I lost two pounds! Although, it's not that much I am proud of it. I don't think I am going to weigh myself every week though, just because I don't want to be all caught up in how much I weigh, I just want to see myself change overtime, ya know. But, anyway I have been eating soo healthy, lots of veggies and fruits, and I didn't even over eat on thanksgiving, it felt great. My leg is doing a little better, I have been trying to work it out, and do the exercises that I do in physical therapy, so I am just praying it will get better soon. Well, I hope everyone is well, I will talk to you guys later, bye!!

yay break time!!

I am soo glad it's break. Tomorrow I am going to my third physical therapy, and then my mom and I are going down to my papa's for turkey day!! I cannot wait to get away. I am tired of being home and I need some rest from school. I am sorry I can't come to Thanksgiving with you guys, but I hope everyone has a great time, and eats all the turkey and mashed potatoes they can. talk to you all when I get back, Happy Thanksgiving!!! Bye : )

Lucky Me

Okay so over last weekend I was supposed to observed a preschool classroom or the observation rooms at the child 10 center, for this long essay we had to write about two children. I didn't really want to sit there and observe for an hour, so I made the entire paper up. I mean I used to go to Tiny Tots with my mom whle she worked, I know what the kids do, so I had it down. Anyway, I chose a boy named Jonny, he had to be 5, and a girl named Ellie, she had to be 3. Perfect. Now, all I had to do was explain what they were doing, how they were dressed, their motor skills,etc. It was pretty easy, and I looked at the book to get definitions, and essays from previous years, and it turned out to be 3 1/2 pages. So anyway, I got the paper back and my teacher loved it, she gave me 50/50 and even wants to keep one for her file. I was just amazed at the fact that I didn't even observe and I got that grade. I mean everything was made up, all the things the kids played and the activities they did, it's just hilarious. But, anyway that's that, and today I have my interview with Macy's and I have another Physical therapy session. I have been eating pretty healthy this week, had vegetables everyday, so I am trying. I just want to do it on my own time though, ya know, be healthier and gradually lose the weight. well, hope everyone is doing well, talk to ya'll later bye!!

The Start of a New Chapter...

Sunday night I watched this show about a half ton woman, a thousand pound man, and the heavieast 19 yr. old boy, weighing in at 800 pounds. The woman went to the hospital to get that stomach surgery where you can't eat that much afterward, but right after she started doing good, her life ended, just like that. The man had to actually be broken out of his home because there was no way he could fit through the door. He lost a lot of weight and got the same surgery and is now home with his family. The boy could barely walk, was stuck at home, having his mom meet his every need. But, after watching all of this, I just got this horrible feeling inside, I thought I do not want to ever get that way. Because, the fact is, I am heading in that direction, me and my mom, and it worries me. I mean I was thinking all this while eating like 10 pizza bites, and immediately I put my plate down (not joking), and said " no more fast food mom, no more, I am being serious!" She just laughed at me, but we talked for awhile and decided that we want to start eating healthy, and i mean it this time. i don't want to start and stop, i want to eat my veggies and fruits, and eat in the right proportions, and not have fast food! I need to do this, i don't want to become like those people I saw, it almost made me cry to think about how I could die and my mom could die from something so simple as overeating. Anyway, on a lighter note, i started physical therapy today, and it was pretty cool, the exercises he had me doing. I got to go on a stationary bike, it hurt a little but i think it will help. Hopefully my knee will get better, and i can start exercising more in no time. well I will talk to ya'll later bye!

So I got what I thought...

I got both my anthro tests back and I got a C and a B+, so it's not bad and I kind of knew I wouldn't get an A. But anyway I have hecka homework this weekend, an essay, and stupid book response questions, and on top of all that I have to go to papa's for Nonnie's birthday, so I am gonna be working hard tommorrow and saturday morning. Well, hope everyones not stressed, talk to ya'll later bye!

No School Tomorrow!!

Whoohoo!! There is no school tomorrow and i am very happy about that. Although, i think we should have gotten monday off cuz why go to school for one day and then not the next, but oh well, now i have time to work on all my hw that i have procrastinated on, haha. anyway, hope everyone's well, talk to you later, bye!!

Thank God this Week is Over!

I had to worry about two midterms and a test this week and it stressed me out so much. I hated that they were all on the same week, so stupid. Both midterms were for my anthro classes and the test was in my child 10 class, so my mind was just going crazy with all the info i had to keep in it. For my second anthro class i think i did okay, my essays at the end were really good i think, so that should put me over the top. Then for my first anthro i did horrible on the slide identification part i left 3 blank and i knew that some of the answers i put down were wrong, but i practically knew every answer on the multi. choice part so i hope that will balance my grade. My child 10 test was take home but i never know about those, so we will see. anyway, hope everyone's weeks are going well, talk to ya'll later, bye!!

I DID IT!!

It was my first time voting today and it was so cool. Going in everyone was like congratulations and smiling and stuff, it was awesome, haha. I know politics are not supposed to be in here but just to let everyone know Obama won and he did a great speech, john mccain also made a good acceptance speech, so i think this was a great election, especially since it was my first time voting, hehe!!!

Halloween is over

Holidays aren't what they used to be anymore. There is no excitement when you wake up in the morning, or the thrill of decorating before it comes. It just feels like another day in the year now. Last night, I dressed up like a football player and got all ready for this party at my friend Denise's house. Well, it ended up with us being the chaperones to everyone, while they listen to her brothers band play out in the backyard. I mean not that it wasn't fun to be there with my friend, but it just wasn't how I thought it was going to be. Then we went to my house and Marcia was here with her daughter Betta. That was cool until betta invited her 2 friends over, and it was kind of uncomfortable for both me and Denise. Later once they all left Denise called her mom to come over and hang for a while and we had a good time talking, so that was fun. So, I don't know, holidays were always something to look forward to, and not that they aren't now, with seeing family that you haven't seen in a while and just being together, but that excitement is gone for me. And, my mom keeps saying "oh it's just because you're getting older," but just because I am older why should all the thrill of each holiday dissappear?

Time For Some Physical Therapy!

I went and saw the doctor today for my knee, and it turns out I did something to the knee cap, so now I need physical therapy. He said that there is like tension or something in the knee cap making it not be able to move the way it should, and there is some swelling. Luckily I didn't pull a ligament, but I still have to deal with all this, and I don't like it. The doc said that I need to go very slow up and down stairs, if possible use the elevator at school, and just pace myself. This is crazy, I mean just from pulling some stupid roots, like I'll ever do that again. Anyway, so I don't know how long it will take until my knee gets better, but for now I am stuck with a hurt knee and not being able to walk well. Anyway, I will talk to everyone later, bye.

I'm an Auntie, Again!!

I went with Mary to visit my brand new niece, Savanna. She was so cute in the little outfit she had on, and I couldn't wait to hold her. She was so tiny in my arms, and when she started fussing i just put her binky in and she felt really relaxed. It wasn't until Steven yelled at the TV, that she jumped, her eyes opened and she started fussing again. That's when I handed her off to Mary, haha. I just love babies, hehe. Oh yes, and of course Miss Brynn was there and she drew in Mary's palm pilot and showed me the pictures, it was very cute. Anyway, I had a great time, and it was nice to get out and see my step fam! I love you all, talk to you later, bye!!

Just Another Thing

On Sunday I was pulling out tree roots from the ground in our backyard with my mom, and they were really hard to pull out, but I was able to get a bunch. Anyway, later on in the day, while I was walking I started feeling more and more pain in and around my knee, I was able to walk, but at the end of the day I was limping from all the pain. I took some medicine,but nothing is helping and you can tell it is more swollen than the other knee. My mom got me a knee brace to at least support me while I walk, I mean I took off school today because I didn't want to have to walk up the stairs, it hurt so much. But tomorrow I have stairs to walk up too, so I don't know what I am going to do, I mean it still hurts even with the brace but I guess I can handle the pain, ya know? Well, if it doesn't get any better I am going to go to the doctor because I am having so much trouble walking and bending my knee. This is crazy and I just hate not being able to walk! talk to you guys later, bye.

Changin' it up

So, I talked to my counselor today about switching majors, well not neccessarily majors but going from veterinary, to vet tech certificate instead, but still get my AS degree. I asked the counselor and he said that I could do this, but he doesn't think that I can get an AS degree at the JC but I can do an AA, I would just have to have a major in some type of science. Anyway, since it was early bird registration stuff, I was only able to talk with him for 15 minutes, so he told me to make an appointment for spring to come back to get the major and certificate thing straightened out and right now I just focus on classes for next semester. So, for now he put my goal as animal health tech, and I am going to be taking English, Bio 10, and 2 animal health classes, which I am excited about. Well, I will talk to you guys later, bye!

Okay, Not So Bad...

So I got my second midterm back today, and I got a C+, which I am actually happy about because I knew I had trouble on the multiple choice part of the test. All in all, I think I did very well with this exam, and this grade gives me a B+ in the class, so whohoo!! I am happy, and not down on myself at all, and I know I will do better next time. Anway, hope everyone is as high-spirited as I am, haha. Talk to you guys later, bye!

I DID IT!!

OMG, I did it, I got my first midterm back and I got an A!!! I couldn't believe my eyes, I mean I thought maybe a B at the most but not an A. You should have seen me when I got back this test, my smile was from ear to ear, haha. I was so excited, my first college midterm and I got and A, whoohoo!! Anyway, I am waiting for my next one to come back on thursday, so I can't get too excited. But I just had to tell everyone. Well, I will talk to ya'll later, bye!

Midterm Madness Is Gone

Finally, this week is over, and both my anthro midterms are done. I took my first one on tuesday, which i think I did ok on, considering there was 40 multiple choice, 5 short answer, 5 definitions, and a 3 paragraph essay. I knew most of the things that were on it, I took my time, and hopefully didn't get an F, haha. My second one was today, and there was 10 slide indentifications, and 40 multiple choice, but some of the questions on the multi choice were not what she had us study, so I didn't really know the answer, had to do the 50/50 thing, and I hope my guesses were right. But I figured it out, that for both classes, that even if I got a 65 on the tests, I would still have a C in the class. Anyway, just wanted to fill you all in, I have to work on an essay this weekend, but it is my second draft, so its not that hard. Well, I know my last post was long so this is a little shorter for you, I will talk to you guys later, hope everyone is doing well, bye!

Had an exhausting but fun night!!

Supreme Soul, From ABDC!!
Kaba Modern, also ABDC, so cool!!
Denise and I at the end, 11:30pm, whohoo.

So, it all began at around 1pm when Denise and her mom came to pick me up, heading off on our way toward Alemeda, or so we thought. We were on 580 and the mapquest directions told us to take 680 toward san jose, HA, easier said than done. Well, there was no sign saying anything about 680, but there was a sign saying 880 toward san jose, I immediately called my dad seeing if we were going the right way, and he said yes, 880 will take you to alemeda, so we took the 880. Well, about a half an hour later, we see no signs saying pleasanton, or alemeda fairgrounds, nothing that could help us out, in the meantime, Denise's mom is freaking out because she hates not knowing where shes going, which gets Denise frustrated because Debbie yells at her, and I'm just trying to calm them both down. So, Denise calls up her dad he says we are going the wrong way, we should have taken the 680, and we all say there wasn't a sign anywhere!! In the meanwhile it's 2:15, we are in fremont, so I call my mom, she says we need to turn around go back toward oakland, but we are only 15 minutes away, we were getting pissed because we all had to pee, and the dance tour supposedly started at 3. Anway, so we go back the other way, and we don't know which turn to get off of, so Denise calls her uncle, supposedly he knows everything about that area, he said we need to get off of an Alemeda exit and it will take you straight to the fairgrounds, well that didn't take us anywhere, instead we found ourselves at a gas station finally asking for directions. We need to go south and take off Jackson 92, follow that it will take you there, the lady said. So, we did and finally we were on 580 east which tooks us right on to 680!!! OMG, anyway we got to the dance tour at 4 and found out that the competitions weren't supposed to start until 4:30, so we were freakin out for no reason. ANYWAY, the dances were great i love to watch the hip hop and break dancing , kind of reminds me of cheerleading, but alot more intricate, I got to see people from my favorite show Americas best dance crew, so that was awesome. I also got a world of dance shirt, which is giants colors, so cool! Then we went home and we accidently went toward san francisco instead of toward berkley, and had to travel all through SF, before we could finally get home, which was at 2:30am! Well, since ten this morning I have been studying for my anthro midterm, so it just has been a long and exhausting weekend. Thank you and goodnight.

Time to Have Some Fun!!

Although, I have 2 midterms next week, I'm going to have some fun this weekend! Today I am going to see Eagle Eye with Denise, because we have been wanting to see it since we saw the first preview for it, haha. Then on saturday, we are going to the World of Dance Tour in Alemeda, showing all these dance groups doing hip hop, and break dancing, which we totally love! I can't wait! So, probably on sunday and saturday in the morning I will study and get ready for my Anthro midterms. Also, I talked to Denise's mom who works at Macy's, and she might be able to get me and Denise jobs working in recovery, whohoo a job!! I have done recovery before, so it will be familiar to me at least. Anyway, I have to go wash my clothes, so I will talk to ya'll later bye!

Aww.. the memories

I have been cleaning out everything I don't need in my room and it has been bringing back so many memories of when I was in elementary school, you wouldn't believe.I have like three diaries, and I read like every page I wrote, from 1997 to 2007, and its crazy the things I said and how it just triggers a thing in your brain that brings you right back to that point in time. I just love it, because of course you have pictures to remind you of events that occured in the past, but a diary or a journal actually tells what happened on a specific day in your past. I mean it is so funny how we think about the past and the present and the future in our lives, but I mean we are living in the furture right now, because when we were kids we thought about this point in time. Five minutes ago was our past and right now is our present and future, if you think about it. But there also is your future in the long run. Anyway, I just think that is so interesting how that all works, and how it just came to me when I flipped open a diary.

OMG!

So, I got my english quiz back, and I got 61/2 out of 5, I got the extra credit right, so cool. Also, I got my Native American test back and got 20/20 baby! I am so good. haha Anyway, I just had to post this, I was super excited that I did well on my first tests. well, talk to ya'll later, bye!

Still going strong!

Four weeks are up, and I'm still doing good. I had three tests this week, one from each of my anthro classes and one from my english class. I think I did okay on my english, it was a chapter test so i really don't know. For my mesoamerican test, I got an A! whoohoo, I'm so great, haha, naw I just have good memory, it was all about memorizing where places were. My native american test I think I passed, I mean when I studied I knew everything, and the test was really easy. Well, I have a lot of homework that I need to complete, and I have a lot of things going on this weekend, so I'm going to get started bright and early tomorrow. I'm doing great with my walking, I have increased my steps since I first started using the pedometer, so that's a plus. Still eating as good as I can, just trying to be healthier. Anyway, I will talk to ya'll later, hope everyone is doing well, bye!

Three down!

Okay, so I know I am repeating myself, but the third week is over and I had a good week. Only three days, but all my classes went really well. I was supposed to have a anthropology test today, but the teacher cancelled it because over half the class didn't have their scantrons, haha. I was also supposed to have a english test on wednesday, but the teacher cancelled that too, she didn't feel like giving it, lol. Don't you just love college, then again I studied for both of those and now I have to wait until next week, oh the anxiety. Anyway, back to the best part, I had such a great time in my child 10 class, the teacher, instead of always doing lectures, she interacts with us. She put the names of people up on the board, that we know about from our book. Then she handed out about five cards with different sayings on them, to each group. Then as a group we had to figure out where each card went with each person, while we talked as a class, so she made it very fun and interesting, rather than just having us listen to her the entire time. I hope you understood what we did, that took alot for me to write it, haha. Also, my anthropology classes are cool too, although they are lectures, we have power points to look at and they show pictures and stuff like that, so I'm kind of liking them. AND, I actually had homework to do today during my 2 hour break between classes, so i wasn't bored at all. Oh my god, I had such a great week and day, even though I went to the dentist today. I didn't have any cavities, whohoo! Anyway, I'm walking more, been walking about 1-2 miles per day, according to my pedometer, drinking alot more water and eating as healthy as I can. Well, I hope everyone is doing as great as I am, love you all, bye!

CELEBRATE!!!!

Yay the second week is over, I am doing good. I have homework in every one of my classes, but we have no school on monday, four day weekend baby, I'm free! (noted by the picture) I have to read for child 10, read for english and revise an essay. Plus there is a quiz in english when we come back on wednesday, so I have to study for that. In my first anthropology class I have to read, and in the second I have to read and study for a geography quiz. Did I tell you that I really hate reading, I mean it's not that it is a bad thing, but when it is a subject that does not interest me that much, I don't comprehend as fast. But, anyway I have also been walking everyday after school with my dog, taking about 20 minute to 30 minute walks, so I'm getting some exercise in at least. I also noticed on my phone, that there is a pedometer that I can set in the morning and at the end of the day I can check the distance I have walked and how many steps I have taken. I think that is so cool, it might help me stay on track, fitness wise too. Doing the same amount of steps each day and then gradually increase, ya know. Well, that is all for now, I will talk to ya'll later, bye!

The First Week is Over!

Okay, so this week is finally over, and what an exhausting week it was. On the first day of school I left about an hour early to find parking, thinking that would be enough time, but instead I drove around until ten minutes before class started just to get a parking space. I cried to my brother and my mom, because I was not only frustrated but worried that I was going to be late for class, it was so hectic! Anyway, my english class and child development class are great, I love the teachers, and I get to observe children in the center they have there, so that's cool. My Anthro 43 class is okay, I like the teacher, I'm just not sure about what we have to learn in it,and if it will keep me interested the entire semester or not. It is about the native american culture, so I don't know, we will see what happens. My other anthropology class, I like better, it is about mesoamerica and the teacher is cool and really nice. With both these classes we get to do "labs" in the museum at the jc, so that made it seem more interesting at least. Only in one of my classes do I actually know someone, other than that at my breaks I see everybody from my high school and I go and talk to them, so that keeps me busy, and makes me feel not as alone. Also, I have my dad there to help me whenever I need. On the second day of school I got out early from one of my classes and had like 2 hours to spare until my next class. I called my dad, he came after he got out and we sat and talked until he had to go. He brought me to the library too, so I could go online. He has helped me out alot this week.(Thanks Dad!) Anyway, Monica, to answer your question, yes there are some cute boys in my english and child 10 class, haha, but you know me I'm so shy. Well, that is all I have for now, I think that is alot of info, anyway. I have tons to read and write this weekend, but I can get it done, because you know what is so cool, is the fact that you don't have every class everyday. Some homework may be due tuesday, not monday, haha so cool! Anyway, I will talk to you later, and keep you posted with my freshmen college experience.

SRJC OR BUST

So, tomorrow I start my college adventures at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I am very nervous, stressed and excited, all at the same time. You see, I don't really like change, so for me to not be at my high school anymore and to go to this new place, is very difficult. This happened when I went to middle school and high school, so I should be used to it now but I'm not, haha. Anyway, back to college, this semester I am taking 13 units which is about the amount they said you should take each semester, so I did good there. My classes are Child 10 (child development), english 100, anthropology 43 and 31, so 4 classes all together. On MW I take eng and child 10 both in the same place so i just have to park in one place those days, and then on TTH, it's the anthro's and I park in another place those days, so it's kind of perfect. Well, I'm just letting you know what I'm going to be doing for my next few years, and I will probably talk to you guys in a few days to see how my classes went. Talk to you then, bye!

Giants Game

So I went to the Giants game yesterday, with my bro, dad, stepmom, cuz, and aunt, and it was hecka fun. Although we had to sit in the heat for a while, the shade finally came and we were able to relax and watch the giants beat the dodgers. BEAT LA, BEAT LA! That's all we heard throughout the game and at the end, but the giants won and the crowd went wild. It was great to spend time with Greg and Tess, we don't see them alot and when we do, it is always so much fun. We went out to eat at amici's and had the yummiest breadsticks and great pizza. Then we said our goodbyes and went back home, a great ending to an awesome day. Anyway, I hope everyones weeks were as great as mine, I am so exhausted now I just want to relax, but I can't because school starts on the 18th and I have to get ready for that and Valeries wedding, so I just have to keep going like the energizer bunny, haha. Talk to ya'll later, bye!

I'm Finally Back!

I'm back! The houseboat trip was so much fun, an entire week of fun in the sun! The first day we got there we banked in this little cove and jumped right into the lake, it was awesome, but weird to see little fishies jumping right next to you. That night Denise and I had the time of our lives teasing the boys with our camera flashes, haha we would flash them with a camera and then they would do something to us like pour water on us or scare us. Funny stuff happened just on that first night.Over the next couple days we had to move the boat, and we docked on our very own little island, it was so nice. we would swim around it, sun tan on it, all sorts of things. Oh and if I do say so myself I think I got a pretty nice tan while I was there. But anyway, then we had to move again and we banked in this other nice cove next to a bunch of hills that we would climb on during the day, and find crystal and cool things burried in the dirt where the lake used to be, since the water has gone down so much. We also had alot of bad things happen to us while being there: first off we hit the propeller which almost ended up costing them $160, one of the boys named Mikey, got stung by a wasp, I got bit by a fly, Denise and I had to swim from the island we were on to the cove we stayed at (2miles!), I got a heat rash (ugh), and last but definitely not least on the way home the little trailor we had got a flat tire! But overall I had the best time of my life. I drank for the first time, margaritas baby! Me and Denise were feeling really buzzed after drinking them and this other drink the guys made, kind of a weird feeling when you feel like the room is spinning but you are also on a boat that's rocking, haha. We would also go on the roof and tan and dance with our music blasting. Anyway, I can't put all the pics on here because there is over one hundred, but I put up the ones that are most important, so I hope you like them. I will probably talk to you guys tomorrow, so ttfn!

Houseboat Vacation!!

I'm going on a houseboat trip!! Oh my god, I am so excited, it is with my best friend and her family, but they are bringing friends too, so there is going to be like ten people on the boat, kind of like our families houseboat trip a while back. But anyway, I am just so happy to get away, get out of the house, I have been so bored like I have been saying in some of my blogs that I just can't wait to be somewhere else. My friend Denise and I always have lots of fun together and get along great, I have known her like since the 3rd grade, so I think we are going to have so much fun out on that beautiful lake. The only thing I'm worried about is all the fires that have been happenning there at shasta, making it hard to breathe, but I have to think positive. Anyway, I will be leaving this saturday and be back next saturday, so I will write when I get back and tell you all about it, and maybe even put some pics up too. Well, I will talk to ya'll soon, bye!

Just Hangin'

Tonight I went out to dinner with my two best friends Kristen and Denise. We went to this mexican restaurant by airport theaters called mi burrito, and they have such great nachos there. We order them every time we go there, they put any type of meat you want on it, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. MMMM.. it is sooo good, and they bring it out really hot, the perfect nachos, I'm telling you! Anyway, then we went and saw Journey to the Center of the Earth, and it was good. They said it was supposed to be 3D but really it is only 3D at one theater. If it was in 3D I think I would have gotten sick, because there was alot of movement. It was also kind of far fetched, haha I like saying that, anyway, because there were some things that you know would just never happen. But, I liked it as a kid movie and I would recommend everyone see it when it comes out on DVD, lol. Anyway, just checking in, getting ready to go to sleep, had a long day today. Talk to everyone soon, bye!

GOT SKILLS? haha

So, today i actually cut my brother's hair, well not cut but shaved and it looks really good. He liked it and my friend said it was nice so I think I may just go into business, just kidding! I swear I got so much of my moms skills it is amazing all the things I can do, not that I am trying to brag, I have just been noticing it more and more lately. Like yesterday, my friend Denise and I made a cake, brownies, and cookies, and they were muy delicioso, if I do say so myself, haha. Also, since Vince has been going to the grove he has been having pains in his neck and shoulders, and I have been giving him massages, and he loves them. I have the magic touch, lol. So if anyone ever needs their hair shaved, some desserts made, or a massage, you can come to me, haha, just kidding. Anyway, just checking in with everyone, i have just been bored lately as you can tell, so yeah let me know what's up with you. Talk to ya'll later, bye!

Being an Adult

I know it may seem stupid, but for the first time since I have turned 18, I really felt like I have grown up. You may laugh, but I have not gone to the store by myself to just get those extra things you need around the house, or used my debit card without withdrawing money beforehand so I would not have to use the "swiper". It is embarrassing I know, but I guess I'm just not ready to become an adult yet. Anyway, back to the reason I started my big confession. Today, my best friend Denise and I washed my mother's car, like completely cleaned it inside and out, and although it may not seem that "adultish" it certainly seemed like it to both of us girls who have never washed the car without our parents before. Then right after that, we both got into the car and drove over to the gas station, used my debit card and paid for gas in my mom's car. So exciting! Then we drove on over to Wal Mart, where I had a shopping list and everything already ready in my hands, hehe. We grabbed a cart, which usually our parents push, and went on our way. At the end I paid with the debit card and said, "How easy was that?" We also went to Safeway to activate Denise's debit card, so we were both feeling pretty proud of ourselves for the rest of the day. Pretty much this entire week I have been feeling more and more like an adult and less like a child, my mom and brother haven't been home, so I have been cleaning the house, doing the dishes, all sorts of things. Although, I do those all the time, this week just seems a little different, maybe it is because I am getting close to college and I feel like I should become more mature, but that should have happened a long time ago. For me, I guess it's just taking a little while longer to grow into a mature, more outgoing adult. I have to tell you though, not only did I feel so accomplished,but I also felt free, free to shop for what I needed and do what I wanted to do. Now, if only I had my own car, haha.

BORED!!

Hey everyone, I had such a boring day today you don't even know. My friend Denise and I walked to the park with my dog Maddie and have had nothing else to do since then. We have been on the computer since we got home, and now we are both creating blogs, whoohoo!! Anyway I hope everyone else is having a great day! Adios!
