Summer Lovin'

My garden is still a baby. I know, it is really late to have a garden not in the ground yet. But unless you've tried to plant a garden in your yard, in Kansas you'll never truly understand how odd it can be. I mean, truly odd. We had a very hot dry start to spring and then BAM rain, just tons and tons of rain. April was the driest I have seen in forever but the first few weeks of May was nothing but rain.

The plot of land for our garden turned into muck. So while we try to get that fixed up the garden is in little plants. I can not wait to see them grown nice and pretty.

The plan is to make salsa when everything gets grown. Home-grown salsa. I am excited.

Graduation Day

It is nine and I have to be there at one.
I need to do my hair, makeup and put on the hideous gown. There will more than likely be pictures taken before we leave, so i will either update this post or make a new one of great pictures. Yay.

Yesterday was a TON of fun. My party went well, not a lot of people showed up but it was still fun. Anthony was last because of his concert but ended up getting neat by my dad at badminton and chess. It was really fun to watch, they get really competitive.
After my party I went to my friend Chelsea's and then I went to my friend Jess's. I ate way more food than I ever needed to.

Got just over a hundred dollars. Which is not really that bad considering I get to go to Disney world over the summer.

My First Graduation Gift

His name is Spec. Like the mole form G-Force.
He has a cowlick on the top of his head, and it is just the cutest little thing in the whole world.
He he about half the size of Tiberius, and is really really shy.

Hopefully he becomes more friendly.
If he never warms up to Ty I can take him back within 15 days. But I feel as though he will need more than two weeks to get used to his new roommate.


Yesterday I let him and Ty run around my room for about three hours. At first Ty was being very bad and 'dominating' Spec, but after a while they were really good. They even fell asleep on the skateboard under my bed. They were too cute.

I am having a sort of Graduation Party today. It was really short notice. I told only a few people to come over, and I am not even sure if anyone will. I hope some people do. But I do not see the point in the party. This is going to sound spoiled, but I am wondering if I am going to get ANY gifts for graduation, other than Specs that is. My mom said she got me something, but that is all I know about so far.Then again I am going to Disney world at the end of the summer. That is really my present. BEST PRESENT EVER.


All I want, is a job.

Goodbye?

Today was the official last day of school. Yesterday was my last day, but now it is really over for everyone.

I went to the year book signing thing. Sadly I was late so there was not a lot of people their. Which, kind of bothers me because everyone I talked to told me it was going to be lame and they were not going. However, as I was driving up I saw most of them leaving. So I signed about twice as books. I have yet to read what they say. I am not even sure if I want to read them yet. Maybe I will read them after Sunday. When my summer has really started.

I will hopefully take a million pictures Sunday. In my fabulous cap and gown. All 501 of us will look like large Kelly green penguins.

Eat Crackers.

Alright. Personally, I believe that ever public member of Peta needs to re think some things.
Yes, I am a member, I have a little card. But I also respect other people and their lives. I know that I hate it when people push their views in to my face, so I would never do it to them.

I understand that people eat meat.
My boyfriend and family eat meat. I do not yell at them, I do not throw paint on my mother when she wears leather. I have respect.

I just wish people from Peta knew that they give all vegetarians bad names.


Now. On a happy note. I adore the teen friends branch that is Peta2. They have a lot more less violent ways to get people interested. Also, I just love their shirt.

I will more than likely buy this once I get a job. Which I hoping is soon. My wish bracelet broke yesterday, so maybe just maybe my wish will come true soon. And it is not like I am leaving it up to the wish, I re submitted my application for the pet store, and tomorrow I will hopefully be putting in an application at the book store. Getting a job would be a great step for me.

Pop Maker

While poking around the blogs I am subscribed too I saw this post on Poppytalk.  It was a post about this niffty little ice pop maker called the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. The ice pops look so amazing I just had to check out the site and look at the info video. I really want to buy this thing.



All you have to do is freeze the base for about twenty four hours and then make sure the juice you are using is chilled as well. The first batch you make should only take seven to fifteen mintues to set up, if you do more after that they might take longer because the base will be getting warmer. You really can make whatever you want. The only down site I found was that you can only make three at a time. Yeah it is a quick was to do it and the speedy set up of the juice allows for a wide variety of mixing /layer option. I just wish it was twice as big, six would be a great number.

Cute Mini Trooper

I have no clue who took this picture, I found it on Xanga. I was just flipping through the sites I had subscribed to 5 years ago and thought I would see if they are still up and running. Most of them are. Which is pretty cool.

When I saw with picture I though of Anthony. He loves Star Wars and has said many many times that he would rock a Storm Trooped costume in public. I pray he never gets the chance. But this picture is just so cute. I love the little mini trooper.

I know this post was pointless, but I just had to post this cute picture.

Vogue

Just signed up to me a Vogue Insider.
Literally anyone can sign. What sold me was the fact that I could be able to test products before anyone else. If I could be a new job I would probably have no money still because I love to shop. It does not have to be crazy brand names but I love clothes. I adore putting on something new and looking good.

I have terrible self esteem so I try to makes myself feel good. I do not get dressed up for other people, I get dressed up for myself. I think people will think you look amazing if you think you look good. However this does not count if you think you look good wearing a  tutu over jeans. No will think you look good then.

Right now I am trying to pass time before I have to go to class.
I suppose I will curl back up on my bed with my May issue of Vogue. I think I might pick up Elle later. I used to get monthly issues from Elle, Glamour, Lucky and Allure. I hate that I am killing trees but I do not think that looking at the site is at all the same as laying on your bed getting sucked into the glossy pictures. I will miss the physicals things when the internet makes magazines less popular.

Tumblr

For some reason people keep telling me to get a tumblr.
I would love it if people would to explain to me what it is. I have looked at it and checked out my friends and honestly it really just looks like twitter and blogs had a baby. People just use it and post little videos, pictures and music files.

I really do not see the point.
I do the same thing on my blog. I post pictures, talk about my day.
It seems like tumblr is just so you can post longer twitter posts. All the ones I have seen are just little random blurbs from some ones day. Just like twitter, only longer than 140 characters.

Go me.

My chemistry grade is a B. Yeah a B. I am really happy about this. For the longest time my grades were mostly A's and two C's. But the C's were not low ones they were really high ones, like so close the should just round them. But I finally did it.

With eight days left of school, but I still did it.



My letter I started today is also done now. I hope.
Tomorrow I am going to come back to it and look at it some more, maybe change a little bit up.

I love the idea of letter writing. I think it is truly a lost art. Not just writing someone a letter but getting good paper and that perfect pen that makes your hand writing better. Saying what you want to say in your own words, not simply typing them and hitting sending. Going out and spending forever buying stamps because it really does matter if the stamp is good.

Happy Mothers Day

This morning I made my mother blue berry muffins and it was a lot of fun. Normal I am no good at baking so I love it when I do good. This mothers day was so amazing. My sister and I got her a big thing of flowers, a candle burner (because her's just broke), two stunning necklaces and a princess crown. Great set of gifts. We got her a card too that I loved. I suppose I am a bad gift giver but I always pick out the MOST perfect card ever.


_____________
And now since I am the mother of all procrastinators I am finally starting my letter to congress. I have to write one for my government class. It is 25% of my overall grade, it is more than my final.

I am writing it asking about a sort of Eco 'cash for clunkers'

5.7.10

Life has been so crazy weird lately.

I am trying to grasp that in 8 school days I will no longer be a high school student. Yeah, I am excited about life, I am nervous as hell about my college classes. (More so now since I can not find a math class) I am just a little nervous about graduation. Will I trip in my four inch zebra heels? Will something bad happen randomly? Yeah, I do wonder about random bad things happening. I just worry about things.

I should just live my life, but I will never stop thinking about what could happen. However, I would not say that I am paranoid. I guess I am to a point but I do not think the world is ending and I know that the world is not out to get me. I just hate embarrassing moments, because I have a lot of them.

Ty might be sick. He is acting off. This morning he was fine, but when I got him from school he was acting just odd. Laying around not moving at all and did not want any of his hay. He never walks away from his hay. But for about ten minutes he was acting completely normal. Right now he is laying around again. I am worried about him because when small animals get sick it can go bad fast. However I am not REALLY worried because he is acting a little better, he even ran around for a little while. Hopefully he is just tired.

Apartments

Am I really looking at apartments? I can not believe that this tab is open on my computer. I never thought moving out would be a real idea right now.

Yeah, I am happy with my house and my family. But I want to move out.
Because I am afraid that I am going to end up like my sister. She is twenty, no higher education, and just now got a job. I am starting summer classes and am enrolled in fall classes, I am trying to get a job, but I am afraid that something will happen and I will end up like my sister.

Open House

Every year the art classes have open house. EVERYONE shows their work. The airbrush kids, the drawing and painting kids, the photo kids and even the drafting kids. Needless to say but it is a huge deal. Open house week is hell for the teachers and the kids but the night is always fun.

The senior get to put up their stuff out in the halls. Everyone else has theirs in the rooms. I am not going to get a place on the wall. Which, sadly makes me want to cry.The four years I have been in art lead up to this. I have been waiting all these years to put myself up on the wall. But I dropped out of art. She said I can still put stuff up, but no one bothered to tell me that open house was today. I found out last, people were talking about it on facebook.

It hurts. I think it is lame that I am so sad about this. I guess I am not an art kid anymore, I do not know what I am then. I have always been an art kid.

Senior Picture

I might finally be taking senior pictures.

Anthony and I are going to go to the botanical garden and take pictures. Since everything around me will be colorful I think I am going to wear a black and white outfit. I have the perfect outfit planned, the only problem is it has long sleeves and I do not want to melt in all black.

I adore this outfit though. I got the dress for graduation and the jacket I got for Christmas. The sad part of spring is I can not wear it a lot. However there is a white one just like it at Wal*Mart that I might pick up. I love the idea of a white blazer for spring. It will go with anything and it is less lightly to get really hot. Not to mention the fabric is light. Spend fourteen dollars on a blazer that I would wear a million times, all I would have to do is cut off the buttons and sew on cute ones. I hate the Miley buttons that come on theses blazers, so I replaced the ones on my black one.


Bag-O-Random buttons is the best thing I have ever bought. No joke.

Summer

It really does finally feel like summer time. I cannot
believe how amazing it has been outside recently. And the fence in the back yard is almost done. Which means I will get to start gardening soon. I know it is a little late to start but I have faith in my fathers ability to keep them alive.

Sadly I do not plan to still be at home next summer so this will be my only year with the new back yard. But it also means I can make a smaller garden for my place when I leave. The idea of having my own hous just makes me smile. I have been watching HG TV my whole life, and my house will be amazing. I can not wait to decorate it, Anthony even said if we get a place together I am aloud to pretty much do whatever I want as long as he does not absolutely hate it. Which is perfectly understandable, why would you do something you know the person you live with does not like.

Like my mom just painted the main wall of our dining room this deep terracotta color. My father HATES it. But she does not care at all, she ignored the color choices he liked and went for the one she wanted regardless. I would never do that, a house is a home to everyone inside it and they should all be happy. 

29 votes

I am pretty happy. I have twenty nine votes for the vegetarian thing. However the girl in the lead has over three thousand. I know I am not going to win but I think it is really cool and fun.

I know I have not posted in a few days. Been really busy around then house.
Friday I went to see my best friend. She has been in PA for the past six months, and I have missed her a lot. She leaves again today. I believe there are wedding bells in the near future for her so I might be going up to PA. Pretty excited about that.

Yesterday I helped my father dig some holes for the fence. We're splitting the back yard so half can be fore people and a garden, and the other half for our four dogs. Honestly the half they are going to have now is still twice the size of our old back yard. I love this house. Yesterday we also started a dog for our puppy. We have two, but we need a third one. Our dogs are really spoiled. Oh! I also helped my mother paint a wall. This task was no fun.

Today has just been a lot of cleaning. Got a ton done in just a few hours. That is my favorite kind of day,
