all that and what-not
i am back from my trip to Utah. it was so awesome!! i feel so blessed to have the family i have. i really had a good time. got some good pictures. it was weird to wake up these past two mornings and not talk to my sister, brother in law, and niece. we had some good laughs and made great memories. i miss everyone so much already!
the las vegas airport is so crazy! it is huge, confusing, and the slot machines are crazy... then there are the people... i mean it is las vegas after all. i think i got lost a few times. somehow, in my confusion and lostness, successfully rechecked myself in to a different airline and made my way to the right gate. dean says that LAX is worse than las vegas... dont want to go there. lol!
i am so tired today.
alright... my capo broke a few weeks ago and i was pretty bummed about it. i told my sister and she told me to use a pencil and some rubber bands, which i did, and make a capo that way. so i tried that out today. it works pretty well! you have to mess with it a bit to get all the strings pressed down... but- it is better than not having a capo at all.
last night my grandma and aunt came up for my moms baby shower. they are helping me get ready for it today. we have a grip load of cooking and baking to do. i think we are going to the grocery store soon.
well, i have lots of shopping, cooking, baking and cleaning to do... so i had better quit wasting time online.

Laughter, Love, and Memories
this last saturday my family and i went up to cambria. it was so fun! my parents, apparently, just woke up and decided we were going to go do something fun instead of work all saturday like we usually do. i was pretty shocked and excited. we dont go do many things like that very often. once we got to cambria we went and ate at a little restaurant called the "indigo moon." it was so good! we all loved it. i recommend going there if you havent. right around that restaurant there were a cluster of little shops. i think that cluster was my favorite. they had cute names like: the paper omelette (and art, stationary, card, paper place), birds of a feather (antique boutique) and lily's coffee shop. i love little coffee shops like that. it was decorated so cute too! before we walked around we all decided to get a coffee... well i got a jasmine tea.... we didnt look in all the shops, there were too many. we are going to go back another time.
there was a HUGE three story antique shop there. i lost my mom in it!! my mom and i were so overwhelmed with all there was to look at that we wandered around, glazed, until we came to the clothes section. there we found some hats and had a fun time trying them all on and took pictures in them all.
from there we decided to go walk around the visitors building for hearst castle. that was cool. ive been on one of the tours before... just a long time ago. we didnt go on a tour then...
just across the street was a beach and a pier. i begged to stop and walk on the pier so i could get some pictures. we did. i got used my fisheye. i want to get the film developed! i hope they turned out pretty good.
all in all, it was a wonderful day. it was so great to be with my family and just spend time together, undaunted by school, work, cleaning, cooking, etc. just enjoyed each others company, shared laughs, and made memories=)
ive always known it but, i dont think i could live without my family. i feel so thankful to have been blessed with their love and companionship. they are there during and for everything. they help you up when you fall, laugh with you, cry with you, and anything else! they are another shining light to Gods love and adoration for his children. so much of His love shines through them. i feel so thankful i could cry.

No Specific Topic
sometimes i just want to go somewhere new and just get away. it would be so nice to be out somewhere else for a while, see awesome things, get some great photos... a break from the stupid drama people create and drag you into. away from disappointment. away from teenage cliques and caddiness. i wouldnt be gone for long... id miss my family too much. still, it would just be nice.
i bought the third eragon book today, brisinger. i am ready to just get lost in its pages. its perfect cover is drawing me. however, history reading calls me unceasingly. i have to get this last american history book done by the third, or no good. i also have some painting and sketching that id love to do. as well as a bunch of random things i want to create.
i had choir today. a friend and i got out of doing a duet today. YES! thank goodness. i was starting to worry. i am going to start opening sunday school with a few worship songs and my guitar soon. i thought that was pretty cool.
i am feeling a little sick. my stomach... uhg. i used to have such horrible pains. they have lessened in amount and intensity since last year. so i am drinking peppermint tea and sitting in bed under my covers.
right now the scene where meg ryan was sick in "you've got mail" came to mind. i love that movie. it is one of my top favorites. it never gets old.
i have been saving the film in my fisheye, for something remarkable and epic. though i spose that remarkable is epic... either way, i have been saving it. i need to go out and find some pictures.
sorry for posting random things with no point or topic. my mind is full and tired. i havent beens sleeping well. i think last night was probably the worst night yet... so please forgive me.
i was able to write a poem yesterday. havent written one for a few months. i was kind of happy about that.

First Day of Fall
today is the first official day of fall. i love fall. it is my favorite season. i love all the rich colors of the leaves on the trees; a last finale of beauty before the winter cold exposed their bark to the world. i love all the fall drinks that starbucks brings back that everyone has been eagerly anticipating. going out shopping for warm scented candles that make your home feel comfortable. some candles that even cause you to be hungry. everyone pulls out their warm coats and scarves in attempt to block out the cold. yet the look of rosiness on cheeks and noses is unavoidable. after being outside, and receiving the reward of rosiness, you come into a warm house (or building) to a hot cup or cider or tea (most of you can have hot chocolate, but i cant. so listing that is useless to me. lol).
fall is amazing.

Spiders Bigger than my Blisters
THE FISHEYE CAMERA 2 HAS ARRIVED i am so excited!
well these past few days we have spent cleaning and rearranging the house. we are finally getting the furniture situated from the changing of rooms. it is looking really good! we are all happy with it. the nursery is so adorable... im going to have to post pictures. however, my mom got a new house hold toy... a steam cleaner. SO the carpet is being steam cleaned one section at a time. making those areas of the house almost unaccessible except under very very necessary use.
i have been working in the backyard as well today and have the blisters to prove it. we have these huge horrible spiders in our backyard during the summer. it seems as though they have become more and more numerous every summer. a job given to me today was the killing of said spiders. i am very scared of spiders. i- after having to kill them last time i had nightmares for a few weeks involving spiders. you know those ones where you wake up waving your arms, jump out of bed, and pull your covers down... my mom finally came outside and told me to quit screaming every time i killed one. psh. that was hard. i cant hide that a few still did escape after she told me not to.
carters birthday is in a few days, though we are having his birthday party tomorrow. (hence, another reason for the cleaning and preparing).
i finally got the duplicate for my permit from the new drive instructor lady. man... i think i will miss bill... however, i am almost there. it has taken way longer than expected but- i cant complain:-)

Perfect by Flyleaf
Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself
I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
I tried to kill you
You tried to save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
we try to fix ourselves and clean out our lives on our own strength and it is impossible. everytime we fall we look for where things might have gone wrong. all the possibilities flood our minds and we are overwhelmed. still we look for and go through every route as to where we went wrong and how we could have fixed it. this only causes further falling.
it is so amazing to me that in this weakness, when we have fallen to our bottom-most low, we are perfect. in this weakened state that we put ourselves in, we are perfect in that we have nothing and no one to rely on but God. it brings us to our knees every time. as we sit there on our knees, we are like little children in the darkness of night, calling out to our father to come to our rescue and turn on the hall light. knowing that when he walks down the hall and opens our door, everything will be alright. that all there was to frighten us will dissipate. in this child like faith we are saved.
"But Jesus said," Let the little children alone,
and do not hinder them from coming to Me;
for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such
as these."
Matt. 19:14
"Truely I say to you, whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God like a child will not enter
it all."
Mark 10:15
how could we receive God unless as a child? otherwise we would be too smart for our own good and not humble at all. a child is weak and knows it needs protection. a child will call for a father in the night after a nightmare. it does not tell itself," this was just a bad dream. i am alive in my bed. everything is as it should be." the only thing that comes into the childs mind is that it is frightened and wants someone big and strong to come and make things better. and in full faith believes that it will be better...

Dead End.
well, the first day at home has been nice. we just spent the day cleaning and getting ready for sunday.
my kitten, chip, was mad at me i think. he wouldnt let me pet him at first=( he isnt so mad now. so that is good.
btw! we have five new kittens! they are all so cute. there is a calico female that i love. we arent allowed to name any of them though, since we arent keeping any of them. if anyone wants a kitten let me know!! they are still too little.... but eventually.
i want to get my hair cut so bad. but i have to wait for a while. my mom is taking a friend to go get their hair cut together some time this next week. i am babysitting for both of them. i HOPE that i will be able to get my hair cut the next week following their hair cuts. i may even get lucky and go the same week.... ??? my mom says that my hair doesnt look that bad... but i feel like it is. i have to make and appointment anyways. which could mean that i HAVE to wait another week or two. we shall see.
i am looking for a new song by the format to learn to play. i am not sure which one i want to do. i would really like to do either dead end or compromise right now. i finished learning she doesnt get it. i am debating whether or not i want to put up a video of me playing the song. i would like to wait until i can sing the whole song and play. however, for some reason, this song is harder to play and sing than i thought. there are other songs i can sing to and play... i dont know why this one has to be so much harder. oh well. hopefully ill get it.
there really isnt much for me to say.
i think i may watch a movie...
good night.

Home On The Coast
i am home now. it is so good to see everyone! and we have five new kittens:-):-) the weather is amazing... so perfect.
i am so very tired. i dont know what it was but i had such a hard time waking up this morning. dad came in and i was like, please no.... i dont want to wake up. last night i woke myself up in the middle night talking in my sleep. also i was sleeping on my hand and i had a huge indentation from my ring. nice.
tomorrow is just cleaning day. i dont think that we will be doing anything else.

Train Ride Home
going home tomorrow.... i am still not sure of the time that i will be going... i know it wont be early in the morning though. which will be nice. i can actually sleep this time=)
today looks like it will just be chill. i think i may go in the pool. it is my last day to go in... so i think that i should. dad has a friend coming over that has a little girl for lainey to play with. also i think i will be doing some house work.
i decided to pack early this time. it is such a relief to be completely packed and not have to think about it anymore. i detest packing. i dont mind unpacking though.
i decided to draw cartoon characters to my own phrases... like the one that was in my last post. that has been fun. i have notebook pages filled with those now. i like drawing the robots from that guys page. oh and his page is: explodingdog.com
well, ive got to go...
peace

Sleepless
wow, i cant believe the time! i am so wide awake. i have too much on my mind to sleep. i was just laying in bed staring at the darkness with my thoughts all over the place. sometimes i wish i had an off button for my mind. usually i pray until i fall asleep... that wasnt working tonight. you know when you are praying and other thoughts, not related to prayer, come through your mind and interupt? ya that bugs. i wish that i had a button for that one too. i just want to focus on prayer and not have all this influx of thought to interupt...
it looks like i am going home this friday. i chose friday because my dad had to go into work monday to wednesday morning and that would give us all of thursday together. ill be watching lainey tomorrow. so hopefully lainey and i will have some fun. im sure we will. then on tuesday (and on) the nanny will be here.
when i go, i am excited to take some neat pictures at the train station. the train station in san diego is beautiful. i would never have thought that a train station would be beautiful, but it is. i want to take some pictures there that create a story. that sounds nice right now... i dont really know why.
i really dont have anything to say at one in the morning.
okay i think i feel sleep creeping in... i had better run to bed before it is gone.

View From A Lens
i decided to straighten my hair in this picture. i havent done that for a while and thought it would be fun. please excuse my tired look... i was very tired. it takes me a while to fall asleep while here sometimes, and at this point i had had quite a few long days and nights;)
lainey#1
lainey#2
during this time i had been babysitting lainey for three days straight. dad and lori gave the nanny the week off, which was nice, so i could watch her. usually she is here and it is hard to spend time with lainey. i mean she has to do her job and all, i being a big distraction. you know i recall this one time where i was in my room playing guitar and lainey came in the room to sit with me. the nanny came in, took her out and closed my door. ya, i think i get in the way of her job=) SO it was really nice to take care of her msyself. both dad and lori were at work, leaving lainey and i alone from about 9 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m.

EarthQuake
okay i really really dont like earthquakes. the last one, a few years ago, was horrible. i dont remember the rating, as far as how big it was, was. i do know that it was big and felt like it lasted forever.
i was up in the kitchen, making lainey lunch and then it starts. at first i didnt know what was going on. i then thought that maybe someone was pounding on the deck doors. so i ran over to lainey and looked at the doors, nothing was there. then i realized. i got a little light headed and almost cried. oh man. that scared me so bad. i had to take a second afterwards to breathe in deeply.
i guess that the earthquake originated in chino. we havent felt any after math. the first one was a 5.4 and the ones after were 3.8 i dont know why i am typing all that. i am sure that you all have a tv and can watch the news. lol! my brain is still recovering.
my phone isnt really working. ill get a text and then can relpy... sometimes i can reply. only two texts went through though.

Basics
church was good today. i am really glad that i was able to go. the pastor and his family were really nice people.
noelle is sick at home. i feel bad for her. but i guess her temp is down. so that is good. say a prayer for her? please?
my dad left to the station this morning. which is a bumber. i had no one to drink coffee with=) he wont be home until wednesday. he said that he was prolly going to get next week off. i am glad for that. i always worry about him....
laineys nanny is taking the week off. so i will be watching her while lori and dad are gone at work. so, until wednesday it will just be lainey and i.
this is all mindless chatter... for the most part.

Joint Suffering
so i thought i had the strum pattern down on that song. i was wrong. it sounds like i have to reverse the pattern. i wish there was an easier way to get the strum pattern than just listening to the song. oh well. it is the way it is.
my mom talked to our pastor and got the name of a church for me to go to this sunday. it turns out that the pastor at the church down here and the pastor at my church back home are friends. i thought that was awesome. i am so glad that i can go to church while i am down here. it makes me sad to miss church.
geeze my pinkie is so sore from playing!!! seriously. its the joint that hurts. it is worth it though. soon it wont hurt and i (hopefully) will be better on the guitar.
i think that i am going to go in the pool.

Black and White
so there wont be too much going on today. dad, lainey, and i may put together this digital picture frame for my grandpa and mail it. other than that nothing much is going on. maybe ill spend sometime in the pool today. im sure we all will.
last night the news says that we are going to have a hot and sticky weekend. course that had to happen when i came. usually when i come, dad says i bring the rain. for a while when i came down it would rain almost everytime. thats a good sign huh? lol!
i talked to our pastors wife more about the photography idea before i left. she has two slr cameras... she would let me borrow one of them to work with. id only be able to use it while i was with her learning all the technical stuff. i still think thats pretty cool. i dont know how serious she is, but could become her apprentice. at least her and my mom have mentioned it. again i dont know hwo serious she is...
so i think we might be redecorating my room while i am here. i want to say what it would look like... but- if we do it, id rather take a picture and post it=) it would be really awesome if we did.

South Bound Train
well, i am in socal now. that was a long train ride. i think that it was seven hours. im not sure. i wasnt keeping track. i was too tired to have to think. i almost couldnt even read. i mostly just used my ipod and looked out the window. i made a few valant atepmts at sleep. that didnt work. i cant sleep during the day. there have been only a few times that i have been able to. (im usually sick when that happens). it was funny. i was on the train listening to south bound train- jon foreman, and the conductor says,"enjoy your trip on this south bound train to san diego" at the same time as the song. i thought that was funny/cool.
i miss home already. my mom, dean and the sibs. as soon as i got on the train i missed them and wanted to be home. i do that a lot. pretty much anytime that i leave for a longish time.
wow. i am having diffuculty. i havent used a key board seprate from the computer (or laptop) since tennessee. it is weird.
i am at my grandmas house. my dad is coming to pick me up in the late morning of tomorrow. yay! i get to sleep in:-)
i have been working on playing she doesnt get it- the format. it is so fun! i almost have it. i am so glad that i was bale to bring the guitar with me... it feels good to accomplish a song on the piano or guitar. i cant even explain it.
i am dying to know what happens on alias. uh! i have a season and a half left to go before i finish it. ill be glad when i dont have an addiction (which it is). it is not an obsessive thing... i just really want to know what happens!
just pointless, meaningless ramble. thats all this is really.

Packing Blues
i detest packing. seriously. finding stuff to match, wondering if you are going to have to fight with the space in the suitcase, trying to decide if you really need "this" or not, not wanting to look retarded with a bunch of bags so you condense more (only later to wish that you hadnt)... i do not enjoy it at all. i am leaving tomorrow morning. geeze. i just want to sit down and watch alias.
i currently have clothes hanging all around my room air drying. most of my clothes i cant dry in the dryer. however... that is better than shrinking your clothes. my room is a laugh right now. i even wonder at how much ill bring of whats hanging up..???
well, i shouldnt be on here. i have a lot to do. i just dont want to to it.
i bought some awesome clothes today and new shoes. (target) who doesnt love target!?
peace

A Rock to the Face
well it looks like i may be going to visit my padre this next week. i havent seen him since christmas. there is a reason though... whats cool is, i may be taking a train down there. i have never ridden on a train. i am pretty excited. i am actually certain that i will be going on a train. so not might but am taking a train down:-)
i really want to bring the guitar down with me. i have in the past. i have a lot of free time there... i could spend quite a bit of time learning a few songs that i have wanted to learn. by the way, that is going good. there a few of us, from church, that are going to meet at our pastors house to practice guitar. our pastor is really good on the guitar. he came over yesterday to change my strings and file the nut down so the action isnt so far from the neckboard. it is so much nicer!!! it almost feels like and electric guitar.
so ya. the last time i went surfing i biffed it and smashed my face into the wet sand (while in the water). you know how the sand compacts when you hit it if its wet? well, it feels like a rock. the scabs have finally come off my forehead and nose. (yes i did bleed) i do have a little bit left on my nose. im sure it will be gone soon. my nose is still totally sore. that was fun. massive headache.

Refreshment
i had a wonderful day at the beach. it was so amazing to be out there, past the break scanning for waves. it was so refreshing! i tried a new board out today. it was a stewart long board. it was the longest board i have ever ridden. it took a while for me to get used to it. once i did, it was a sweet ride.
my grandma, jake, carter and myself went to see journey to the center of the earth. it was pretty good. i laughed a lot. though i dont think that it was all that funny. i think i was just really tired. like i laughed at the stupidest possible parts. like when they were about to die. i dont know what to say for myself. i was tired. i havent surfed for a week or two so it took the energy out of me!!!
i am so tired that i am dizzy. i think that i will turn in for the night.

Opportunity Calls
well our pastors wife came over yesterday and gave me some guitar music to work on for church. im so excited!! i really hope that i can do this. im not like amazing at guitar or anything. though, i havent been practicing either. so that doesnt help. hopefully ill be good at playing soon. she also told me that they may use me on the piano. so AWESOME!!! they are trying to make a list of people who can play an instrument and asking if they are at all interested in playing for church service. all the people who are interested would switch off playing for service...
also, our pastors wife is a good photographer and has been thinking of training an apprentice (or find one...). SO she offered to teach me the techical stuff. I think she is wanting to have a little photography business. at least both she and my mom were hinting at me as a possible apprentice. again, AWESOME!!! that would be such a cool job type thing... oh yes. i cant remember what the name of the camera she would lend me to use is... it is a name i have never heard. i do know that she has two of them and so she would lend me one.
i have had a lot going on and yet not. it is weird sounding. it almost doesnt make sense. i havent really gone anywhere. it is just a lot in my personal activities and then these two opportunities^ just last night i thought of another plot for a story. again this one will need a little bit of historical research. not too much though. i know a bit about the era.
today i am going over to a friends house to watch some movies and chill. so that is exciting as well. i am leaving at 2 which means i have a lot to do between now and then.

Blueberry Muffins, Stories, and Mr. Darcy
well, hello.
i finally felt like writing. i am better mostly. giving the exeption of a headache and a stuffy nose.
there is not much going on at the moment. i am talking with jordie, exchanging story ideas and plots and with a few old friends of mine on aim. it is very nice! i havent talked to those girls (ashley and cassie) for so long!! and talking with jordie is always amazing.
my parents are going to this homeschool thing called chea. i am staying home with carter and jacob. noelle is going to go with them. i am not sure of the things we will do while they are gone. im sure carter will want to go to the park a few times. other than that, we will be home. there is a good chance that my grandma will be coming to stay with us. i think she most likely will so we will have a little more freedom in going places=)
i went to starbucks for a few hours today. i just read my book, had an iced, soy, classically sweetened, coffee and blueberry muffin that was only 75 cents!!! it was epic. i had a good time. even though i was alone.
there really isnt much to say. except that i am reading a awesome book! it is pride and prejudice from mr darcy's perspective. i love it! there are three books in the series.
so anyways... i am done. and very tired.
sorry for the not so exciting post.

Rambling Facts and Details
i dont know how i do it... somehow i always get massive bruises from surfing. i have some really good ones right now. from my hips to my knees...
jake and i are going to work on a movie. well, we are working on writing (in a way) a short movie, filmed from my laptop. we are going to have a little fun with the sound effects in imovie. not too much fun though because then it would be over powered with that stuff and be dumb. there are so many sound effects we dont know what route to take.
there is nothing really going on. im thinking i might paint today after i get some other things done. i made the sketch for the painting yesterday. i am pretty excited about it. i am also starting a new story. i have to do a little research for this one. not much. im not done with my other story still.... i got a little burnt out on it. i will finish it though. then there are a few school type things i need to do later in the evening.
there was a swell coming in from a storm in the atlantic, now there isnt much of a swell. the water was so clear and teal too!! it was beautiful. after the weather being so warm and the swell as good as it was, the ocean looks poor. its all good though. i can still have fun out there. ( i actually dont mind the weather cooling down. im not big into hot weather). there is this place called the ranch. we are going to try and go there. i have an uncle in SB who goes there. you need some kind of permission though. i guess it is literally on a guys ranch. hence, the name. the waves are sweet down at the ranch. they arent like big or anything. but the shape is gewd. you have to take a boat to get there. im not big on boats... i think i can stomach through it for those waves. i graduated!! by the way. i can surf normal! i dont surf the white water anymore. except for when i ride in. SO i am excited about that.
another one of our cats has gotten hurt. it looks like the bone in his leg is broken completely in half. it is so sad. it makes me nauseated to watch him walk. his leg almost folds in half. i cant handle that stuff. seriously. that kind of stuff makes me throw up. i made the mistake of looking out the sliding glass door as he walked by, with my breakfast in my hand. ya. didnt think that one through. i didnt throw up though. i really felt like it.... but- i didnt.
eventually i am going to make paper. i really really want to. it is so awesome!!! i only need a few things from home depot... i am excited. there are some amazing that i can make once i get the paper down. EPIC!!! i would list the things but that would be a long list. i got the book from costco.
well, i am going to get going. this is a really large post. those of you who read it all the way through are true friends:-)

Civil War Dance
mike and i... i literally danced out of my shoes doing the polka with him^^
okay mike and are polkaing in the upper right hand corner...^^^^
hello! and good morning.
the dance last night was fun! i forgot how fun those are. i got to polka with mike. he is so much fun to polka with! he is the only guy who really knows how to polka... we were going so fast... oh man. it started at 6:30 and went until 10. i didnt get home until 12:10 and then didnt go to bed until 2:00... my mom and i were talking for two hours before i went to bed:-)
after the dance some of us went to starbucks. i got an iced americano with soy and carmel flavor. ya. it was very good. you know caffiene doesnt really affect me at night if i am already really tired. i think that is cool. haha! mike was so funny. and there was this other guy that i dont remember his name, he was pretty funny too. all i remeber of him was that he was from frezno and staying in lompoc for a while. also that he is learning to surf...
okay i totally did not know that brittany was in japan!! i asked mike where she was and when he told me that... i had no clue!!! i guess that explains why she didnt return my text a few weeks ago...
today i will just be cleaning and going to michaels... i dont know... i wanted to get together with a friend of mine... i just am not sure how that will go with all that we have to do today=(
well, thats all ive got.

Oil Paint and Vintage Dresses
well, i am in a pretty good mood right now. i started a painting last night and finished it today. it didnt turn out half bad. i have another idea for a painting. i need to go back to michaels again today. i had to go late last night to get paint thinner. i have have some really cool discounts for there. i get 40% off one item and 25% off the over all price. i am pretty excited about that.
well, the civil war dance is tonight and i think we are going. i did decide to wear my purple dress from decades. it brings back memories.... that dress is awesome. it is vintage 50's.... i still remember the day i got it. it was a good day. i had soem pics of it, but somehow they got deleted. sadly.
i have a lot to do... i dont know if i will post again later or not.

The Happenings
okay, so about a half an hour ago i ate an apple. as i get a little closer to the core of the apple, there is a rotten part. nice. however, i hadnt seen it. so i take a nice big bite into the apple. after the taste hits my tongue, ya. so now i have a stomach ache and am making tea and going to eat saltine crackers.
also, my mom picked up papa murphys pizza and dropped it off on her way to the store. so- i figured the pizza wasnt spose to be cooked on the white,paper plate it comes on. just to make sure i called papa murphys. turned out it was spose to be cooked on there! you all know my accident prone-ness (specially with being burnt), i didnt want to set a fire in our oven. im pretty sure i would have burned myself if i had. i just had to make sure. i felt dumb calling. but! the cooking instructions werent clear about that. i partly blame the cooking instructions. plus, it makes me feel less dumb.
the kids, two of noelles friends, and myself went to go see a free movie at the theater today. we saw firehouse dog. i thought it was going to be a cartoon. i am glad that it was a normal one. it was pretty cute. it make me think of my dad the whole time though. kinda freaked me out a little bit. it is fire season right now. it started kind of early this year.
after the movie we went over to michaels. they are having this 40% off sale all week... i think we will be going back again tomorrow. i bought some new paints beacuse, the last time i used the ones i already had, half of them were dried up. so- i decided, time for new paints. i think i might get some more canvases tomorrow... im not sure.
this weekend we might go to a civil war dance. we havent been to one of those in so long! it should be fun. i know there are some of you who might be laughing... it is fun though! last time i didnt wear my civil war dress. i prolly wont this time either. it would take as much work fixing it as making a whole new one, if i were to wear it. also, i dont have time between now and this weekend to fix it or make a new one. i am pretty much looking forward to that. i might wear my dress from decades. i havent worn that for a long while.
okay, second pizza in without burning myself...
as my friend, marian, in florida says," goodbye is forever, tootles is see/talk to you later."

Waz Good?
hello all,
i have been just hanging around the house today. it is nice. just doing the things that i need to do, and want to do. i created a pianofiles account. i am stoked about that! it is a sight where pianists exchange music files. so i emailed a bunch of people on there for some of their songs. i requested some good ones: more mae, jack johnson, paramore, eisley.... ya. i am pretty stoked. hopefully i will get a few songs by tomorrow. that would be epic. though, it may take a few days.
so i started to crochet a few days ago. i like it. it is entertaining. i cant explain it. like it doesnt look fun, but it is. lol! i am currently making a throw(which is pretty much a fancy term for a blanket). it is kind of amazing. i cant wait until it is done.
mackenzie left today. its sad. i think she is on her plane right now. but- i think she might be coming out again in august. it is not official though. we had some pretty good times! ill have to keep up with email, calling, and texting with her.
i decided that i wanted to learn as many cool art type craft stuff. that way, when i am older and have my own home and family, i can use (or build) a room as my art studio. i could even have a business that way! i am working on that. it kind of just came to me a few days ago. errgo- my learning to crochet (how do you spell that, " errgo?" ergo, errggo, erggo???? no clue. you all get it).
i hope my dad does come this summer. he said that he would let me know when his vacation time was. (he is a fireman... so- ya). i really want him too. pretty hardcorely.
other than all that, there is nothing much else to say.

Late Night Ahead
i am currently babysitting. my little charge, jackson, is asleep. so- i am not slacking. he is awesome by the way.
well, yesterday, when we were surfing, i was just coming up from being underwater and this huge wave slaps me right on the side of my face. i so wasnt ready for that one. usually, i like to jump up on top of the wave. you know, like normal... that didnt happen. it slapped me at just the right angle causing my ear to first hear no sound then to ring. today, i have swimmers ear. it is kinda driving me nuts. my mom put alcohol in it. i guess it helps to break down the salt water... dean explained it all scientific... however, it hasnt gone away. maybe it will drain while i am sleeping.
i am babysitting until 12or 1a.m. so i have a while...
i am wondering whether or not jordie went to summer hume....???
okay. it was 105 today. it was so hot! since we live on the coast, the houses dont include air conditioning. so we have all been sweating to death. the other day it was 108!!! oh my word. i cant wait until monday. it will be cooled down by then.
and i think that yesterday was an even better surfing day than the day before it... it makes me happy:-)

and i think that yesterday was an even better surfing day than the day before it... it makes me happy:-)

Sizzle up
today it was 95 degrees! psh. it was very warm. and unexpected. i forgot to check the weather all this week, so i had no idea. i guess there is a cold front coming this weekend. nice. it will be even better after this hot weather:-) the breeze is finally kicking in....
the beach was epic today! i think today was my best day surfing. no joke. i graduated:-) also, my wet suit tan is extremely ridiculous now.
tomorrow i have babysitting for like nine hours. ya. it will be good though. i am still trying to find my home occupation. working on it. so babysitting is very okay. it is only one little boy, who, is good!
also, i think we have someone coming for dinner tomorrow. which is kinda sad since i wont be there.
mackenzie is leaving in a few days=(=(=(

Holding the Line
okay the moon tuesday night was awesome. it was so bright!! all the lights in the house were off and my room was so bright!! with the blinds closed too! i ended up going to the living room and looking out the big windows. simply beautiful.
today we went surfing. it was so warm today! i have to say, my wet suit tan is ridiculous. seriously. it is so bad. there is literally nothing i can do about it. no matter the amount of sunblock i put on or dont put on. lol! i guess that just comes with the package.
well, i am wiped. so i will post tomorrow. maybe.
i am going surfing tomorrow morning again:-)

Catching Up
does a rose, by any other name, still smell as sweet?
under the pismo pier
wow. that is all i can say. it just hit me this morning. there is so much that has to be finished up and figured out in the coming the last year of high school. a lot of big decisions.
as some of you may or may not know. my permit expired in february while i was away in tennessee. i was pretty bummed about that. really. so the options are, do the whole thing over again or wait until i am 18. my mom prefers me to have practice before i drive... so i think that we might be taking the "do it all over again" route.
i really wanted to get that done with before my dad came this summer (if indeed he is really coming here to visit me). that way i would be able to drive them around... take them to cool places. i guess being co-pilot isnt that big of a difference. it is just easier driving than giving directions.
then there are the college discussions and choices.
plus i need to figure out a way to earn money. that sounds so- i dunno, greedy in a way. i dont mean it like that at all. i cant really call it earning a living... cuz im not on my own. so i rally dont know what else to call it. i am going to putting together a list... i need to figure that out as soon as possible. i have quite a few ideas. it is just the choosing of an avenue that is the hard part. where to go..?? yes, i need to make the list. i kind of wanted to have my own business of sorts.
my parents are going to take me on a trip out of country for my graduation. it is time to do my research and figure out where i would want to go.
so there is a lot to think about:-)
we went surfing yesterday... it was nice! the weather was good. the wind kicked in at one point... so the waves blew out a bit. though, by that time we were done surfing. haha!!! while we were out surfing there was this seal and he was hanging out where we were. mackenzie was totally freaked out. i was too. i cant lie. i mean what if we made it mad at us... ya. we both screamed. it was very funny. then mackenzie got attacked by a crab. lol! i wasnt there for that one. but- i did laugh when i heard the story.
today is grandmas last day before she goes home. we all wanted her to get a summer job up here.... sadly that didnt happen=(
today, i believe, i will just be doing laundry and chores. which is very fine. i am very sore and tired from this week and a half of surfing, boarding, tag, hiking on the beach... so the hanging around the house is nice. i did hear something about the craft store. im not sure though, if anyone goes there i will for sure go.
that is all i have for now. i say that like this is a short post. lol:-)

Front Page
we went surfing today. it was amazing. the weather was perfect and the waves were pretty good. i am still pretty stoked about it... it was a lot of fun.
mackenzie came back this tuesday and is staying for two weeks. so that is pretty cool. we have had some good times already.
the other day we boarded to starbucks, chilled there for a while, then went to the 99cent store, and last to target. when we got home, we watched princess bride and ate pb&j (i really love pb&j). then mom and elle went to run an errand while the rest of us got ready to go to a baseball game. it was my first baseball game. it was pretty fun. though, most the time i didnt understand the game. like id ask if the last hit was a good one cuz it went straight out to the field... and it wasnt( i sitll dont know why it wasnt). lol! i mean i could tell if they werent good hits if they went off to the side or straight up... so that was fun to go with the family=)
not sure what tomorrow will hold...
i found out that my stepmom is pregnant too. so i will get two new siblings at the end of this year. one in november and the other in december. though it is possible that they could both be in december... it will be amazing either way! also!! my mom is having a girl!!! i knew it was gonna be:-):-) i think my stepmom and dads baby will be a girl too... lainey thinks so too:-)

dairy should be dead
i did something very dumb. i wanted cheese so badly, that i had some. and now, i suffer. that and the possibility that i may be getting a stomach flu from my mom.... i dont know if its one or the other or both. but for now- i will blame it entirely on the cheese. it is so painful... it stinks cuz i wont be able to eat for 24hrs if it is cheese. literally. no lie.
im going to bed to sleep away the pain...

Time and Day
so beautiful:
today i printed two mae songs that i found online. im so excited! it took forever to find them. i have three total: we're so far away, prologue, and the sun and the moon. the last two are the ones i found this morning. i can play them, though there are a few areas that need smoothing. i was so stoked!!! my excitement level was intense. i think i could have sat at the piano all day today.
we just finished watching singin' in the rain. that movie is epic!! its so amazing to think that back then actors and actresses werent just actors and actresses. they could sing and dance(ballet, jazz, swing, tap, ballroom)... they had to! a lot of them were comedians as well as regular acting. maybe they still do now... the difference, i think, is that most actor (esses) learn those sort of things when they have to do a movie that requires it. then, it was just the thing to do.
geeze, every time i go out surfing, i get bruises. i dont understand how. mostly on my hip bones and knees. i dont force my weight with all my strength on the board... i just have no idea...
tomorrow, i think that we will be getting ready for the kids to come. you know, grocery shopping, cleaning, arranging.... all the normal stuff you do when company comes.

Title
hello,
i havent done much lately. ive just been home doing school... all that good stuff.
its weird.... lately, im almost excited to go to bed. i dont know why. i even almost like going to bed as soon as i deem it not tooooo early. ive never gone to bed before nine. still, for some strange reason i like going to bed right now. it can be a little hard in the mornings to get up. however, i get up because i know i should and mom my prefers me to get up somewhat early. getting up early, though, ensures that ill be tired sooner! yesss=) i dont know why i am so retarded.
i really have nothing to talk about.
though, soon julia, kyle, devin, mackenzie and emily will be here! im excited for that. it is so fun to be all together again. with a few additions=) its fun to look back on all the times we had when we were all little kids. the crazy things we did, the things we said, the places we went, embarassing moments we shared. kyle, i think, is almost clueless of the life we had before the kids moved to utah. we tell stories all the time and he sits there in a... i almost cant describe his facial expression. he does laugh a lot though.
well, since i am just rambling i will get off before i get too boring.

Strawberry Festival
Im making up for my not posting today.
the strawberry festival was fun. i think we got there at around noon. haha! the first thing mom wanted to do was eat=P so we got four funnel cakes and ate them on the lawn across from the stand where we bought them. i have to say, i love funnel cake. however, too much makes me feel sick. to help that, i just had a bite of everyone elses. that way no one got sick! =) we spent the rest of the time walking around. i didnt get anything at the festival itself, but i did go into one of the shops in a.g. and got something there: two shells and a hankie. yup. i think they are pretty amazing. Noelle got her face painted, mom got a hat, dean got a bottle of wine, carter got a rubber band gun, and jake got a soda... thats all i think. i cant remember if grandma got anything. besides the funnel cake.
i saw a bunch of people i knew there! katie, two of the doody kids and mr doody, joanna, adam d. and his sister, sydney, a couple from church, and like three or four other people from the grace bible youth group that i dont remember their names. sad.
overall, it was a great time! i love those festivals...
Drive In:
on sunday we went to the drive in with the ways. we saw indiana jones and ironman. i think ironman was the better of the two. though neither really were all that great. indiana jones turned into this alien movie! psh. i did fall asleep during ironman.... so i dont even know how it ended. zoei, riss, noelle, and i fell asleep during ironman. on the floor, outside, in the cold. we had blankets but it was still cold. everyone else stayed in the cars. mr and mrs way had zachary quarantined in the car... he was sick=(
while i was laying outside, right before i fell asleep i looked up, and i could see the clouds moving. it was amazing!! they were moving so fast! there were pretty much only clouds and a few faint stars, then it was clear! it was amazing... i wish i could fall asleep to that every night.
Pismo:
yesterday we went to pismo with grandma... it was sad, mom had a lot to do at home as well as dean. soo, they were going to stay home and we were going to have fun. we loaded up the burban abd headed towards pismo. as soon as we turned the corner on wadsworth i saw the anders car. once i found a spot ( which took a while) and parked, i called them up. carrisa told us where they were and we met up. jake and i ran over to panchos to get noelle, carter, and him a wetsuit. even though the waves werent all that great i went out surfing. i caught a couple... it was way too flat. i had fun though! oOokay... i was out there and i am walking right... right, and i step on something very squishy and slimey. i screamed so badly and jumped up on my board. (the board was backwards by the way). for some reason, when i really wanted to stay on the board i kept almost falling off (i couldnt find my blance while i was in a panic). all the while i was screaming. after that, i was done. i got out and spent the rest of the time out of the water. carrisa, nathan and i went up to the pier for a while. i got a splinter in my heel. i go up on the pier all the time without shoes after ive been surfing! i guess that was just a lucky day. i had to get it out... i sat down and prolly looked really dumb, and got it out. soon after that we left.
as soon as i got home, dean asked me to trim the bushes out front. i really dont mind doing that! its not so bad. i get to be a perfectionist. its great. i still have a few more i need to do. i really wanted to finish them today... but... my hands are so sore and stiff that mom said i should wait a few days. it is pretty bad. i cant grip or squeeze anything... oh well. we have these hand clippers that are prolly older than i am... so they were hard to use... hopefully we get a new pair. hey! maybe thats what ill get dean for fathers day!
Today:
grandma just left and mom and dean went to the gym together.
i made coffee and am really enjoying it. since sunday coffee tastes extra good to me. i dunno why... but it does.
well thats all for today.

The Smell of Coffee
last night i babysat for the first time in a long time. i babysat for this new couple in church. they are both really nice. they have just moved here, so their house had no furnature. lol! i sat on the floor and watched movies all night. the little boy, jackson, was asleep even before i got there. i was there from 9:10p.m.-1:10a.m. they had gone out to see Prince Caspian.
so, this morning i am making a bigger pot of coffee than usual. i was able to sleep in a bit too=) if i go to bed late and sleep in, its weird, but i think it makes me more tired. i dunno. maybe im just imagining it.

a walk to remember
oh my word.
there are few movies that ive cried during and even fewer books... come to think of it, i dont think ive ever cried while reading a book. i did today though. i read a walk to remember in two days. i finished the last part today, crying.
it was such a sad book and the ending is so unclear. its also kind of happy, in a weird way. well, a sad happy. if that makes sense.
i just felt like letting you know that.

after church our family (minus dean, again) went to the wrights for a going away party for hannah. she is going to be gone in nepal until sept. 2 ( i think it was). ill miss you hannah<3
after that, we went over to the ways house so zoei could get somethings so she could spend the night. we just finished watching "kate and leopold." after i get off here, i am going to put some music on her ipod from my itunes.
then tomorrow morning we are all going surfing. its zoeis first time. i hope i can be kind of helpful. im not like crazy good, as you know. it should be fun though.
later tomorrow evening, we will take her home.
other than that, not much.
im slowly getting a lot of glass bottles for my room. im going to fill them with sand, shells, and rocks. i had already had a few bottles filled. after i went to visit jordie, i got inspired to fill more=) i think i even have buttons in one bottle.
thats all can think to say. im super tired and my brain isnt working right.
night
