Nothing to report

It's been a good week, but...nothing to report. I've just been working and tonight I have Frisbee. Tomorrow I think I'm doing a photo shoot with some friends of mine for one of their books. Although I spent four days of last week in the water since it was so hot, so I got an ear infection :p I woke up crying several times last Saturday night and I went to redi-care on Sunday. I was put on antibiotics, but I was still taking Tylenol and Advil every couple hours :p I went to the doctor on Tuesday and the nurse said to start taking Benadryl at night, and it totally helped. My ear is still inflamed though, so my hearing ins't fully...uh...open? ::) But it's getting better, so that's good. And I was telling my mom on the phone(b/c my family has been camping since Tuesday), that with baby-sitting all day, it makes me feel like a mom between playing with the kids, feeding them, washing dishes, telling them to do their chores or cleanup, putting the baby to sleep, and other such things. Her reply? "Awwwwwwww!!!!!!" ;) ;) Have a good weekend! :)

Sad yet happy :)

You're probably wondering what I mean. Yeah...so I'm going to skip ahead and say, Cedar Point was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend Anna made me go on the Top Thrill Dragster which was out of this world! The minute we took off, my french braid came out of my hair. I know. That's how fast we were going :D :D :D :D :D :D My cousin's wedding was also last week, and I had so much fun dancing for four hours straight with...GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You also might know her as Lady Maeve on the Fairy Tale Novel Forum. One of my bff's who lives allllllllll the way down in VA, came up here and surprised me with an 8 day visit! It was technically 9 days, since she got to my house the afternoon I was in Cedar Point! She had to wait 10 hours to see me. She just kind of twiddled her thumbs at my house while she waited, and I was oblivious to it all. Almost everyone I know knew about her visit except me. Go figure :p ;) ;D But when we got back home, I went into my friend Liza's camper to get my stuff to take a shower b/c her mom said my mom brought it down. I didn't see anything so I sat down, and the camper door opens, and Grace says, "Hey!" OMG. I almost fainted. I thought I was hallucinating at first b/c I was so dang tired and I was thinking about her all day since she said I had to call her when I got back. And the best part was is she recorded it all, including my magnificent jaw drop top the floor. It. Was. Awesome. :D :D :D :D :D :D We had an AMAZING time together, and we went to so many places. I'm already planning my trip out there next summer :) She left yesterday though, and I cried like a baby last night :p I had a full day after she left, so it didn't really occur to me late last night :p :p But we still exchange emails and have agreed to video chat every month. I know she follows my blog, so here's to you Grace! MWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a great big kiss, and a HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :-* :-* :-* :-*

"Whatever comes, cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I dressed in a cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it." ~The Little Princess

Summer :D

Yes, everything is wonderful! :D I am a littttlllle depressed though. A  bunch of my friends went to Franciscan University this weekend for the youth conference, and I couldn't go :P Not enough money, and I have this summer class. So I'm stuck at home...but I have a graduation party to go to today, and when my girlfriends get back home tomorrow, we're going to have a sleepover in my friend's pop-up ;D ;D :D So I'm extremely happy about that! And two words: Cedar Point. I am going with my friends on Wednesday for a full day of roller coaster fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're leaving at 6 am from the church parking lot, and it'll take us like...3 or so hours to get to Ohio. If you've never been to Cedar Point, it's AMAZING! But only if you like roller coasters ;) I'm gonna go crazy, riding every single one if I can. Top Thrill Dragster: 120 mph, 17 second ride. Corkscrew: 7 loops. Millennium Force: A ride up to 310 feet in the air, then an 80 degree drop, starting the 93 mph ride. That's my favorite ;D Check it out of you don't believe me ;) Seriously, check this website out, then BEG your parents to take you there. http://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/Top-Thrill-Dragster  http://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/Corkscrew  http://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/Millennium-Force All these rides and more!!!!!!!!!!!!! And check this out: it's the POV from a Millennium car. You won't be sorry you watched it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbXPhOFRxTc If you couldn't tell, this is my favorite ;D ;D I wish you all happy trails this week!

"Here is a rule for everyday life: do not do anything which you cannot offer to God." ~St. John Vianney

Oh, could you all do me a favor? I can see my members, but I'd appreciate it if you would raise your hand and say you're here! I'm feeling a little lonely :p

Ahhhhhh..............................

*Takes a deeeeeeeep breath* Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

That was a great exhale :D Last week is over and done, which means I don't have to worry or think about that stupid ACT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My summer class is going great, and the month is going by slowly. I am floating on a cloud. Everything is................aaaaaahhhhhhh........ :D :D :D Imagine you're on a beach. Bright sun, cold blue water lapping on the shore, seagulls crying, and you're laying on a hammock under a big, colorful umbrella. And don't forget a glass of lemonade and your favorite book ;) That's what life is like right now, and will be for the rest of the summer. So I am just plain happy right now :) :) And your quotes madams:

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." ~Albert Redmoon

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Okay...*buzzes in as a blur* I'm here! Even if you aren't :p Okay...I won't be here tomorrow so to start things off: LastweekIsawSnowWhiteandtheHuntsmanitwasawesomeandamazingandI'mgonnabuyitwhenitcomesutondvd.IwishIhadtimetopostareviewonitbuttrustmewhenIsayyoumostlikelywon'tbedisapponted.Myjobiskeepingmeoccupiedbabysittingfor4kids3timesaweekfor10hoursandyesterdaymysummerclassstartedsoIhavetorememberIhavehomeworkagainandtomorrowI'mgoningtothestatecapitalforareligioufreedomrallythat'sagainsttheHHSmandate.AfterthatIhaveameetinganddressrehearsalforagraduationmassthena4hourgameofUltimateFrisbee.OnSaturdayIhavetotaketheACTthengotoareceptionanddosomehomeworkandpossiblyworkout...OnSundayIhavemassand2graduationpartiestogotobeforeabirthdayparty.ThenmyweekstartsagainonMondayandguesswhat?Ihave6graduationpartiesplusapartyand weddingallwithinthemonth.I'mgoingonadietofvegetablesatmyhousesoIcanstillpartyattheparties.LifeisgreatGodisincontrol.

Memorial Day

Yup, and before you say anything, I have a very good excuse for not writing last week. Uh...actually I forgot and that doesn't help my case at all, but I had my dance recital last Saturday which was AMAZING as always ;D Every year I get better. I was in 7 dances in the first show and 8 in the second. Plus I had to guide my classes through their routines behind the curtain not to mention costume changes and making sure my makeup didn't smear :p I was sooooooooooooooo tired afterwards :p Gotta love that adrenaline rush though. It can make you go for several hours with nothing to eat ;D ;) Then you feel like crap :p And I got so bruised up and I have no idea how they got on my body. One minute they're not there and the next...they are. And they're still there :p But anywho, I am at Houghton Lake right now at my grandparent's cottage with some family and friends like every year, so we're going to eat junk food, swim, have campfires, drink wine( :D ), and have a merry old time. Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

P.S. - Since I'm not home, I don't have my quote book with me, so you're gonna have to go without one for a week ;) Sowwy!

I know, I know!

BLAH! Yeah :p I'm soooooooo sorry I didn't post again last week! I was gone all day on Friday and didn't have any energy to post at night when I got home from 3 hours of Frisbee. But I got through finals and it feels GREAT! :D :D :D I also went to the opera last week with friends of mine which was amazing ;D We dressed up in formals and took lots of pics ;D The opera was La Boheme, and it was a *sniff sniff* tragedy. Which was actually pretty much a comedy until the last 15 minutes ;) Then the people who manage the program fed us wonderful pizza, which we look forward to every year ;) And on Monday I started my baby-sitting job for the summer which has been going very well. So everything is going...perfectly right now :) I'm just so content! Oh, and I forgot to post these "tag" questions from one of my dear followers ;) I'll explain the rules and then I'll tag some peeps...

So.  Rules and Restrictions:

1. It is imperative that these rules be plainly visible to all who can see and will see your blog. Therefore, post them at the top.
2. Because random facts about people tend to captivate interest, post 11 personal and insignificant facts about yourself. 
3. Answer your friend/acquaintance/fellow wanderer's 11 questions as well and as fully as you are able.
4. Ask 11 more questions on hopefully philosophical orotherwise thoughtful subjects.
5. Find 11 more  friends/acquaintances/fellow wanderers to tag--gently, please. 
6. Go to their blogs and inform them of the happy fact that they are now Officially Tagged and Must Do Your Bidding.

1.  If you had a choice between spending a day in a mountain forest or at the seaside, which would you choose and why?

The seaside. I love the feel of the warm grainy sand beneath my feet. Along with the beautiful color of the water and bright sunshine, it's a day in paradise.
2.  How do you define true beauty?

As someone who is in love with God.
3.  What's the one thing that, without fail, will always touch your heart?

The way a man looks at a woman who he loves with his whole heart.
4.  What's the one thing that, without fail, will always make you want to scream and yell and generally have a fit?

When someone thinks a foreign language is a different one than it's suppose to be. Like my dad who asked me if 'adieu' was French or Spanish. I thought he was messing with me. But when I looked at him with a smile on my face, his was serious and he was actually looking for an answer *Rolls eyes*
5.  What is your opinion on parasols?

They'd be fun to carry around :D
6.  If an old guy in a pointy hat came to your door one fine morning and asked you to participate in an Adventure, what would you do?  Think about it, now!

Depends. I wouldn't go alone, and I would take my gun and a knife with me.
7.  Poetry: hate it or love it?  Why or why not? (I sound like a test, sheesh.)

I like it. It speaks of many things. And...I think other people who can write it are geniuses. I can't write poetry if my life depended on it :p
8.  Do you have any passages of literature memorized? Why did you choose to memorize it, if so? (Songs do not count.)

Uh... “Fourscore and seven years ago...” “...tale of Paul Revere...” “It is a truth universally acknowledged that any man who is wealthy is in need of a wife.” (Or something like that :p )
9.  What do you wish most to accomplish by blogging?

To inspire people and show them that life is meant to be fun :)
10. What do you base your like or dislike of a film on?

The way people act and the script. I don't really like hearing the f-word or watching porno scenes :p
11.  Do you believe in the cliche saying "follow your heart"?  Why or why not?

I suppose. I don't follow my heart though. I try my best to follow God's heart :)

Now my questions...be afraid ;)

1. Have you ever been to a holy site in Europe?
2. Do you think makeup decreases or increases beauty?
3. Is it easier writing poetry or a book?
4. Do you think the culture needs to be more dignified?
5. Do you feel closer to God during the day or night and why?
6. Is bike riding or running easier?
7: What is your prince Charming like?
8. Are you a night owl or early bird?
9. Do you like jewelry or flowers from your imaginary knight? ;)
10. Picasso: Genius or cookuu?
11. Uh...JKF assassination. Conspiracy or not? (You don't have to answer that ;) ) 

  So the people I tag have to answer those last 11 questions on their blogs. And here are two quotes for you today:

"I wish you all the joy that you can wish." ~Shakespeare

"A beautiful thing is precious, no matter the price. Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy." ~Beastly(the novel)

Happy trails! :)

Ugh, sorry people I forgot to tag! Okay...I'll just tag everyone. That's easiest ;) Answer the questions and put them on your blog!
