Shopping.

Today, my mom took me shopping for my 12th birthday dress for young womens-yes, I am lds! I ended up getting a lot more! I got a really long one-it goes down past my ankles-that had spingish colors splashed on flowers. I also got a simple, blue, knee-lenght dress. They're really pretty. At the same store, we found $3.00 American Eagle Jeans. The origanal price was $47! We bought those as school pants for next year. We bought two more pairs-each about $12. Then we went to Paridise Bakery & Cafe`. We split a chicken w/walnuts sandwich and a cream cheese brownie. After that, we went to Old Navy to get shorts for me. All they had were itty-bitty denim bootie shorts, so we went to Ross. We found two pairs of nice, modest shorts there.
I really enjoyed spending time with my mom. Its fun to talk with her and be around her-especially when its just her and I! :)

Makeup, My day, and Oklahoma.

Since we celebrated my 12th birthday-a month early-my mom is letting me wear makeup, finally! I can wear mascara, blush, foundation, neutral eyeshadow, and darker lip colors. I know for a lot of you, that isn't so cool, but hey-its my life and my feelings!:)
I've been in a really cheerful mood lately! This morning, I painted my fingernails pink and my toenails orange with one of my birthday presents (thanks Cicily!) Then I went to IKEA with my family for bunk beds for the boys. When we move to Oklahoma they'll need a better bed to sleep in! Speaking of, I can't believe we'll be moving in less than a week! I'm so sad! Saying goodbye to all of my friends will be the hardest thing to do!
I'll post soon!

Testing.

Really, could a day get any worse?! First, microbursts of wind howl in the night. Second, you have to get up early in the morning to do everything. Third, you have the 'big end of the year test'!!!
I don't think that my day could've gotten worse. You think the worst is over, and then more comes. That, is very sad. I'm sure most of ya can relate. Really, it took us an hour after we went to the test computer lab to get settled, because every one's computer was crashing, Network Errors, etc. It really sucked!!!!!!!!

'Special Retardness' Issues.

Really, this title could not be one more perfect! Yesterday, I went to ballet, only to find that my 'specialness' has indeed jumped up 10 levels! I couldn't get a simple combination down, almost face planted a fall, and bumped into another girl.
Rinse and Repeat!



AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, after that, I was determined not to be a, well, a very special person. Luckily, its bumped down about 6 levels- for now! I'll make sure to tell ya when something really disaterous happens!

My First Gun Show!

Today, I went to my very first gun show! First, I woke up at about, eh, 8:15 a.m. Then, I called my friend, Raven, to tell her that my parents said I could go to the gunshow with her and her dad, Steve. After that, I helped my 'special' brother make hot chocolate, drank some, got dressed, and did the dreaded chore of cleaning my room.
Walking to the church building we were going to clean before we took off was no big deal. Actually, the cleaning was probably the best part of going to the church.
After that, we went to Raven's brothers' soccor games. That, I have to say, was a long, devistating wait. When we finally took off to the gun show, it was about 12:45 a.m. Reaching the building where it was going to be heald was the easy part, it was just finding a parking space that took 45 minutes. Steve parked his car at a nearby school, and we walked to the building.
The gun show was awesome! You'd be surprised how much of the stuff they sell aren't guns. In the end, I got a blue box-cutter pocketknife(curtesy of Steve), a charm braclet(from Raven), a glow in the dark stick-it lasts 8 hours!!(from myself), and tons of free stuff! If you are thinking about going to a gun show, I really suggest you go! You'll enjoy it! Just make sure you like looking at military kits/weapons/cars/clothes and loads of other stuff!

Spring Break!

Its finnaly Spring Break! I am so excited! I'm gonna try and sleep in a lot! Everything I do from now until the end of the break is going to be either partying, swimming, sleeping, eating... anything else to add? Remember, I love comments!
