Sumtiems Ie Maek Mitakes

Like not looking at the title of the post and making sure all the letters are there.

FASHION.

....

Almost caught my house on fire around 1 in the morning last night.

Mhm.

I threw my jacket behind me too hard and instead of landing on the bed it landed on the lamp on my desk. The lamp already heats whatever metal on it up, so naturally when it was covered with my jacket it started to smoke.

I think I was freaking out more about it being ruined than the house catching on fire though. =x

Early this afternoon today my Dad taught me how to use his Scag mower and I got to cut the whole yard with it. =D

Then we went out and played Shale Creek golf course and lemme tell ya, this place was pretty high tech.

They had GPS on the golf carts, and they told you how far you were from the whole, how far you dove the ball, the wind speed etc.

It was very O.o

After that we went to Reddie's pizza and had some awesome garlic/cheese twists and a meat lovers pizza (minus the ham).

Watched Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island with JJ. That movie will never get old I'm telling you. =)

Painted my Mommy's toe nails, worked out, and then Ryan came and dropped off the cones so I can practice maneuverability for my drivers test on Thursday.

=D

Played a little pool with my Dad in the basement and now I'm here again. =)

What's Been Happenin'

So my cousins grad party was interesting.

You see, my Aunt Jerry has Alzheimer and she kept asking my Mom if she was excited about the new little one that will be growing at the family reunion. Now my cousin Todd's wife just had another son and he'd be a month old when they bring him the the reunion, so we though she meant him.

Well then she started talking to me and saying "You're so small after all this time it's amazing!"

And then she suddenly spurts out "I mean, you're pregnant, right?"

I told her that I wasn't and I was only 15 and she went "Oh, I'm sorry dear!"

You don't know how hard it was for me not to burst out laughing right then and there.

And then Dad had me take the turnpike home and I didn't pull close enough to get the ticket. =p

Mom, JJ, and I watched Drilbit Taylor after that, it was good. =D

In cars at 9Am today, I had only about 3 hours of sleep before hand.

Hellz to the yeah.

Kept on getting a little far left in my lane on the highway since I normally drive with just my right hand while on it.

Practiced maneuverability and I beasted at it as well.

Three's on everything again. Secretly driving illegally on the road at 13 has it's benefits I guess.

The kid who was next had to drive me to my Grammy's and her was really nervous, you could tell he hadn't been out driving a lot.

We got the back bed all planted and mulched and it's really pretty!!

Took a small nap and then got ready for Jessica's grad party.

Cyrus picked me up and we went to a Natalie Petal's house first which was fun.

They had good cookies!

When we arrived at Jessica's house Karaoke was underway. I sang along with peeps. We then shot off fireworks (and for those of you that don't live in Ohio fireworks are illegal to shoot off although you can buy a shit load of them and no on will care) in the backyard and then Caramel, Mike, Gerber and I went to Caramel's house to grab some extra controllers to play Halo.

The cops were on their way to Jessica's house so we called Bill (her brother) and told them to hide the rest.

Sucked at Halo but had hell of a lot of fun playing it.

Cyrus' grad party is tomorrow. I already know what I'm going to write in his card I just need to make it.

My hand is killing me now, I will go to bed!

Have I Ever Told You How Much

My mother and I love thunderstorms? Last nights was a good one! Very cool lightning. =)

We stayed up and watched the storm roll and then went and laid on her bed to watch the 1st half of the tonight show with it's new host.

He wasn't funny at all. I want Jay Leno back. >=/

Mm fell asleep after that and I stayed up and sat around with the cat and the dog on the bedroom floor reading all night just in case she needed anything.

Dad was out of town, and she was sick and she wouldn't be able to have toe strength or energy to yell up to us or go upstairs if she needed us, so I stayed close and awake.

Around 5:50 I went upstairs and took a quick shower then got dressed and went on the bus.

Had fun in study hall as normal.

Spanish exams I made a few careless errors due to my lack of sleep.

History was a ruckus I must say.

Art I finished my exam, so no exams for me Friday!

However I'll still be coming in due to shopping after with Rayy and friends! =D

Got home and fell right to sleep from 2:45-5:32, ate dinner, watched the news, played a little catch with my Dad, then came in to do a little history homework.

Tomorrow I won't be in school. VV tomorrow down at the Canal.

I think it starts at 9. =/

See you guys Thursday though! =D

OMG I also have the funniest new neighbors ever.

So I can hear them MOWING THEIR LAWN across the street. It's currently 9:30 and dark out. Then all of a sudden the moving stops.

"Doood! Why did you stop?! You can't be done yet!"
"I hit the flag pole!"

xxxD

Epic ROLFCOPTER.

It's Hardly Spring

And I already have sunburn all on my shoulders, upper back, and neck.

Hellz yeah to yard work.

Dad and I went to Eddies Bike shop today and bought me riding gloves. The doctor said they'd help when I start weight lifting again and with golf.

Went home and I worked on my VV project for all of 4 minutes before it was burger time!

Cyrus came over after that and him, Dad, and myself went on an 8 mile bike trip. We took the Enchanted Forest path, which wasn't really all that enchanting since the leaves weren't on the trees...but oh well.

Dad rode his bike really fast so Cyrus and I lagged behind and talked. =p

After that he helped me with my VV project. The map is pretty much finished except for one or two places because we couldn't really figure out what to put.

Dad got me the best thing today.

It's a small plastic piggy.

But that's not all.

There's a button on it's head, and when you press it the nose lights up and in oinks!!

I love it so much! ^-^

I probably shouldn't be blogging and resting my hands but they felt great today. Might as well seize the moment, right?

Baby Sitting, Twigs, and Spiders

Alrighty so last night I drove over to Cy's house to help him baby sit the little ones.

We made popcorn, and a fort, and watched Kung fu Panda!

Then before we were leaving their one black cat came up to me and I started petting it. Cy's Dad said that it was always very timid and never really came up to people (even him or Cyrus), so I felt kinda special that it would come up to me.

=)

After that I went home and pretty much went right to sleep.

Dad woke me up today and him, JJ and I went to Grandma's house (his mom's) to pick up some sticks in the yard. Then I climbed to the top of the tree in the front yard and texted Cyrus. While doing so I noticed that the branch I was sitting on was half rotten from the inside, and it was slowly cracking.

So what did I do?

Why, I waiting for Cyrus to reply, so then I could reply back, and then sat up there some more before finally coming down.

I'm not stupid...I just like sitting up really high in trees, even if the branch I'm sitting on is going to break and I'm going to fall and crack my neck.

I didn't get to drive to grandmas or back because we had to take my Dad's company car and he said it was too crowded on the highway.

I mean, the last time I was out on the highway there was hardly anyone. Plus, I was in my mom's car, which is okay to crash since we actually own that car, and not like my Dad's company car which the company owns and I'm not really allowed to drive at all.

Got back home, showered, watch The Ring 2, the fell asleep until Cyrus came over. We talked upstairs a bit before watching Spider Man. Part of the way through I wanted to go upstairs and watch the cop shoot the skunk in our yard.

He had a good shot, once in the head from our deck. Apparently he's a firearm instructor.

The back yard stinks though. XP

Cy and I finished the movie, and then he left.

Dad had built a fire upstairs so I sat by it for awhile before coming up here.

Tomorrow Mom wants to go to this train thing at the IX center, and I'm not just letting her go alone with JJ (I'm afraid something bad might happen, don't ask me why).

OGT's then on Monday...

Meh..

The Great Blue Rescue!

Hehe...that rhymes.

=p

Yesterday Dad, JJ, and I decided to go out on a hike in the...Brecksville Reservation I believe.

Before we did Dad wanted to turn all the coins he had in this big jar he had been saving up for years (there were mostly pennies in it) and turn it into cash.

HE HAD $177 IN THERE!

o.o

I'm gonna start saving now...

I have a little itty bitty jar. ^-^

Hiked to this big gorge and when we were on this over-look thing I saw a Pepsi can at the bottom!

I named it Blue and I asked my Dad if I could get it, but he said maybe at the end of the hike.

In the end, I climbed down the 3 mini waterfalls and slippery rocks and slid down to save Blue!

=D

Then I tried to get back up the way I came...it didn't work...

So then JJ threw his walking stick down to me and I climbed up the side and threw Blue up to him.

These people, who turned out to be watching the whole thing, started clapping. =p

They had a nice doggie, who's name was Otis. Oh, and there was this gay guy, who was their friend, who's name was Alex, who complemented my Dad on his boots and said he liked me hat! =D

Alex had a cool rainbow bowl-like hat on too. =p

Funny thing was, when they were walking away JJ and I heard Alex say to his friend "that old guys jacket did not match his outfit."

XD

Dad dropped me off at Devvy Chan's house for a few hours.

I told her about the great blue rescue and then we played rock band. After that we hid under her covers while her dog tried to attack us. =p

Ashton came over and her 2 little cousins (one 3, one 7) joined her...little brats...

I hid my honey buns from all of them. =p

Today I woke up and Dad and I did some un-needed yard work.

We cleaned the grange floor, picked up some leaves, cleans up the dog shit, re-organized the tools in his barn, then shoveled some snow off of the driveway.

=p

Now we're all warm and cozy in the house and I'm waiting for JJ to come home so we can play Mario Party 8.

Might be hangin out with Cyrus later on tonight...

I wish it was cold enough to have a nice warm fire...

Speaking of which, THE FIRE PLACE CHANNEL IS ON!!!

My most favorite channel ever during the winter months.

Check. It. Out.

Oh yeah, and if you see someone put a new log on the fire (not just moving it, has to be a new one) then you get good luck!

=D

Oh On The Laaaaaazy Riveeeeeeeer

Mkays, haven't posted in the last few days. Let's see.

Yesterday my dad and I went golfing with my grandpa and Glen Eagle golf course. It's a nice course I guess, just a few minor problems. For example they must have fertilized the greens with something, because there was this smell every time I went up to putt that gave me the biggest headache and nausea, and, there were too many 'dog leg' holes. I hate those...so much...

But I got three par's, and I think it was one of the best day's in my grandpa's life. I could tell it was important to him, so at least I made him happy. It's days like that I spend with him that make me wish that my mom's dad was alive. He passed away when I was in 1st grade, so I never really got to know him. I remember days though when I was little and in my grandma's old house. Grandpa would be sitting in his wheel chair (he had some type of cancer and lost his ability to walk at age 17) and I would be sitting on the floor near the kitchen table with my grandma's money jar organizing all the pennies in one pile and dimes in another, and so on and so forth, and he'd try his best to explain to me how to count everything so we could try and total it. He would give me a dollar each time we counted though! ^-^

Anyways after that I went home, spent 2 hours reading more of The Host and then cu the grass in the backyard. (When my dad's friend Gary came over he said that my dad cut the back nicer than the front and I looked at him and said that I cut the grass in the back and that my DAD cut the grass in the front yard.) I talked to Devlyn online after that, she's like, finally on now because she has a computer, yayz!

Today we took Pioneer Water Park with us! We spent most of our time on the lazy river and such. I spent the day at her house too! We went into random chat rooms and laughed our heads off at all the questions these horny guys were asking us (yes, horny). Mostly about our 'package' I'll say. We didn't answer them though, so don't worry guys. Watched a few minutes of TV then I tried on and borrowed an outfit from her to wear to Apple Bee's for my b-day lunch tomorrow, and on my date with Zak!

It's a short, plaid skirt with a chain, and a black shirt with a red tank top underneath. I think it looks cute. ^-^

Wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow! I'm so excited, and I can't believe I made it to 15!! =D

Busy Busy

So today I woke up around 10:30, got dressed, ate breakfast (yes a know, weird huh?) and then talked with my mom a little bit. My dad needed some help in the yard so my brother and I picked weeds in teh front flower bed and from under the pine tree line. Lunch came and then we went to my grammy's to help pick sticks up in her yard.

We made a huge fire pile with them afterwards. I also took my dad on a wild ride on my uncles Gator. Full speed, hair pin turns baby!! After the ride my dad looked at me and went: "As long as you're not driving my company car, you can do that." *tumbs up*

You have to love my dad.

Oh yeah, I even backed the Gator into the grage! I think I did really bad...i nearly crashed into the grage door about three times...but my grandma, uncle scott, and dad said I did I pretty good job. I just can't get the hang of that revers steering ya know?

I went to the range for the frist time this year. I well with my irons and hybrid, but my 3 wood and driver...SUCKED. So after sending another ball flying low and to the right with my Driver (they either were like that or just rolled on the ground ><) I tried out my dads. His is a Callaway, I think mine is a Wilson or something... Anyways, I hit it well, a lot better than my driver at least.

After grabbing some gum from Marc's, orbit since I'm trying to whiten my teeth, dad, jj and I did a light workout before dinner.

I just came back from Dicks Sporting Goods. I got new golf shoes, golf balls, 2 new golf gloves, and I tried out a Lady's Callaway Driver. I kept hitting it right, but I was hitting it about 150 yards on average. I should be hitting 200 on average. But hey, I haven't hit a golf ball in a while so I'm sure I'll up the yardage after getting out more.

Now I"m here.

I'm planning on going to the movies tomorrow (seeing Prom Night) with Rayy and Erin. Rayy is waiting for her dad to get home to see and Erin hasn't answered my text, methinks I texted her while on her date and it is kind of rude to text your friends while you're on one (at least that's what I think). I asked Ed if she wanted to come but she didn't want to see the movie, plus she had homework. Dev is at her dads, Peaches is at her dads, and Ryan is grounded so they can't come.

I had an away message up saying that I was busy at the moment but if you wanted to go see prom night with me tomorrow IM me and I'll get back to you. Ryan IMed me saying:

Ryan: this weekend is horrid for me and jackie if you guys would even want us to come so really dont bother asking us

I dunno but when I read it, it sounded like he thinks I wouldn't want them around at all. I mean the whole: "if you guys even want us to come" thing kinda shouted that out to me... I don't hate Ryan he and I just have some very different opions at some times, and there's no reason why i should hate Jackie. I'm actually trying for all of us to get together next weekend to hang out or something at the park. My park though, not the rec park. We could probably go see our 'beach' if it's nice enough! (or if it hasn't washed away, this winter there wasn't much sand when Dev, Dad, and I checked it out...)

Okay all of you should see Hammy right now. This is what he keeps doing:

*sits in front of window* *pounces at birds* *runs around the house* *jumps in empty box in computer room* Now repeat.

It's too funny. There's little kitty head prints in the window screen ^-^
