weekend! My uncle, aunt, and great aunt came to visit for a few days. It was nice getting to see them! :) My mamaw and great aunt are staying at the beach for a couple of months, so they were meeting here before leaving. I miss Mamaw, but I'm sure she's having a great time! :) I can't imagine going to the beach for two whole months, though...haha :)
So, my Christmas was pretty nice! I enjoyed all the time I got to spend with my family! On Christmas Eve, my grandparents and Ant Janet came over to hang out and play games and such. That was fun :) And then on Christmas, we went to church in the morning. That was so nice! I loved it! :) And then we opened gifts when we got home -- lots of fun! :D AND I GOT A PILLOW PET! haha, just sayin'. BEST invention ever. :P :) So, the rest of Christmas day was spent just hanging out and playing games and stuff like that. :) It was nice!
Then, on the day after Christmas, my grandparents, Mamaw, Ant Janet, and Jessica came over and we played Dirty Santa! That's always one of the most fun traditions we have at Christmas :):) LOVE it. :)
I hope all of you had nice Christmases, as well! :D
Oh....HAPPY NEW YEAR, by the way!!! :D I mean...it's a little late...but hey, better late than never? :)
My New Year's Eve was SO fun!!! Usually, my family, Jacob's family, and Erin's family (the avoidance of using last names sounds quite cumbersome) all hang out together, but it didn't work out this year :( But it ended up being an AMAZING evening, anyway! I had a blast! :D
Like I said, Uncle Bob, Aunt Debbie, and Aunt Alberta were visiting, so we got to hang out with them :) And then Grandma, Grandpa, and Ant Janet came over, too! And also, my awesome friend, Alek spent the evening with us ;) So, that epic. :D
We played some games (including PIT!! [best game ever, just so ya know]), talked, ate (duh!), listened to music a little, goofed off, and watched the ball drop at midnight! :) Funnn stuff :):)
And then over the course of Sunday and Monday, my family watched all six Star Wars movies!!!! SOOO AWESOME! :D I've been waiting for this since LAST winter...haha :)
So...yep, this is a short post (for me), but I think I'ma go do something else now. lol :) I need to practice guitar (haven't done that in a couple weeks...heh), and maybe create something artsy with the new Bic markers I got for Christmas! :D And it might just involve aluminum foil...cause I'm cool like that.
Anywhosies, I'll be posting more later! ttyl! :)

November is a pretty cool
month, huh? I mean...my dad's birthday is the sixth, my mamaw's birthday is the eleventh, my brother's birthday is the thirteenth, Thanksgiving is the twenty-fourth, and my birthday is the twenty-eighth! It doesn't get much better than that! ^_^ Haha :P I know, I know...the world does not revolve around me and my family, does it? :)
Anyway, November really is going to be a pretty fun month for me! Besides all the birthdays and Thanksgiving, my family is going to Myrtle Beach on the 11th! :D I'm so excited! My dad hasn't been able to go with us in FOREVER, so I'm really happy that he gets to go this time! :D
Also, Ben and I are going to have a combined birthday party, and it shall be EPIC! ^_^ We're having a dance at the gym at our old church :) I'm SO pumped! Except that Matt and Elizabeth can't come...this makes me quite sad... :'(
So, last Saturday, we went to a dance that was...well...amazing!!! :D I think I mentioned it in my last post...but that was BEFORE and this is AFTER! yeah...it was sooooooooooo fun!!!!! My all-time favorite dance is the Virginia Reel, and we got to do it TWICE! ^_^ My second favorite is the Postees Jig. That one is so cool because it LOOKS epicly confusing and complicated and amazing, but once you learn it, it's actually pretty easy :) I got to dance that one with Matt, the VA Reel with Alek (both times), and the Spanish Waltz (which is probably my third favorite) with Jacob! Aaaand, I got to Swing Dance with the BEST swing dance partner ever: Laura!! xD And I tried to teach Alek and Matt how to swing dance, but it didn't work that well...although, we really didn't have that much time... :)
I dressed up as a pirate. OH YEAH!! I can tell y'all now what Messrs. Alekzandr and Matthew wore to the party!!! They both wore kilts! It was sooooooooo awesome!!! Hahaha :D And then Alek, Matt, Erin, and I went to Sheetz after the party (they were giving away free coffee) and paraded our costumes. But it was mainly so Erin and I could be seen with a couple of cute guys in kilts :P ;) I might be able to post a picture of us..I'll see if it works :)
Anywhosies, we had an absolute blast at that party...I have decided that dancing (as long as it's appropriate) is my favorite activity to do with friends (besides talking ;) ). It's so wholesome and healthy and social and FUN!!!! :):):):):)
Okay, I shall now cease my raving about how AWESOME dancing is. ;) (Except perhaps to say that if any of y'all ever get the opportunity to go to a country dance or something, and you're thinking "Oh...I wouldn't be good at it and I wouldn't like it...blah blah blah", I thought the exact same thing at first. And now i LOVE it. So...TRY IT!) :)
Alrighty then. Well, I think I also mentioned that last Saturday morning we were going to go to GROW club. That went really well!!! It was so fun! And the kids were adorable, and I think they enjoyed it :) We played a game first (after going door to door to invite the kids). It was musical chairs. :) Thank heaven they had an iPod docking station! I thought my iPod speaker would be loud enough...heh. NOT! And then Alek had to LaLaLa for a while before we got the docking station set up. That was funny! :P
And then Josh gave his lesson and it went really well! :) It was about having courage, and he told the story of Joshua (haha) and the Israelites marching around Jericho. We even acted it out! (the teens were the 'wall' and the kids were the Israelites ;) ).
After that, we played hot potato for a while, and then two of the girls wanted to have a dance competition. That was pretty funny. haha :) So, yeah. It went really well, and I SO hope I can go again this month! :)
So, I worked today. It was my first day having to be there at 7. (EARLY!!). lol :P I'm not a morning person. But that's okay! My manager lives really close, so she'll just pick me up on Fridays and take me to work (which is very nice for my dad so he doesn't have to go to work early :) ).
But anyway, I had a great day! I LOOOOVE my job!!! God has blessed me so much! I was trying really hard to be thankful for my last job (and I was/am). But I just really didn't like it. (after I started working there this year. I loved it before the management changed) It was so hard because I would be feeling like "man...I just really don't want to be here! I want to work somewhere else!" But then I would mentally slap myself "Beth! What is wrong with you! God blessed you with this job and the company had to fit you in to be able to hire you. You're earning money, so be THANKFUL!!! Stop complaining!!" But then when my former boss offered to hire me at one of his other cafes, and I took the job, it was so much easier to be thankful because I love it! :) Still, though, I'm thankful for the opportunity to work at that other place. It just shows me how God provides. This whole process has been amazing...God is awesome. He provided a job, even if I didn't enjoy it at the time. But then he provided me with an even better job! He is just so gracious... :)
So...my favorite thing about my new job is my coworkers :) :) I get to work with a couple girls from my church (Misty and Elizabeth) and another awesome girl named Annie. We always have a blast together! :)
I also like the fact that we're so busy. I would get so bored when I was working at Daisy's. A "rush" there was like...five people at a time. lol! A rush at Brewed Awakenings (cute name, huh?? :) is...I don't even know how many people, but it is crazy! :) I love it!!!
There are basically three stations to work at: the "bagel bar" (where we make all the sandwiches and such), the coffee, and the cash register. My favorite is either the bagel bar or the register. I'm not sure which. I love making coffee, but not during a rush because I'm not fast enough at it. And then I get paranoid and freaked out. haha :P
Anyway, so yeah. I love my job. :)
Hey, guess what y'all! I'm watching Captain America!! With TVGuardian! Yay! This makes up for not getting to watch it on the JC outing.. :) Except that my darling Laura is not with me... :'(
Although I feel as though there is something else I wanted to share...I can't remember it and this post is super long, anyway. Okay, well...I will go now. Thanks for reading my ramblings! I love rambling to you guys...you're awesome :)
Ttyl! Ipml! ;)

This weekend
is very exciting for me!! I have so much going on and...it's all super duper fun! :)
Okay, so Friday night is an event at our church called FunForAll. It's a kids program as an alternative to Halloween. :) The kids dress up and come to the church for games, candy, bounce houses, and a Bible story time. :) It's a lot of fun for the kids AND the helpers! ^_^ Last year I dressed up as a superhero, and I did facepainting. (Which was cool because that's one of the things I ended up helping with at the carnivals we hosted on our missions trip this summer) :)
This year, I don't have a costume. :( I am quite saddened by this fact. But hey, I'll still have fun! :) I think I'm doing face painting again this year!! Yay! ^_^
And then on Saturday, Ben and I are going to help with GROW club. It's a program that some people from our church started a few years ago downtown as an outreach to children there. It's so neat, and I got to interact with a lot of these kids during our missions trip. I've been wanting to go to GROW club, but haven't been able to until this Saturday. So yeah...I'm pretty excited about it. :) You could be praying for the kids to listen to the lesson, and pray for the guy who is giving it (Josh), and that we will all be good examples to the kids. That would be greatly appreciated! :)
On Saturday evening (GROW club ends at 4ish), beginning at 4 (!), there is a medieval dance that I am going to! I cannot wait!! I'm dressing up as a pirate. It's going to be so much fun! I have a couple of friends whose costumes are going to be so epic...but it's a secret, so I'll have to tell y'all about it later... ;)
I'm also really looking forward to Sunday because I get to be in the service! Yay! :) I work in a children's class every other Sunday, and lately we seem to have been gone on all the Sundays when I'm NOT working in a class, so I feel like I haven't been in the service in a long time... So, I'm happy about that. And also, I'm looking forward to an entire afternoon in which I have nothing to do! ^_^ I think I shall either take a nap or read a book... :)
Last Sunday was really really fun. I was at Jacob's birthday party (he is 18 now!!! O.O ) and a song from The Lion King was playing (I just can't WAIT to be kiiiiing! ;) ), and then Me, Erin, and Matt (and I think Alek?) were discussing how Matt had never seen that movie (*gasp!!*). So...long story short, I invited Erin, Matt, and Alek to come over to watch The Lion King at my house on Sunday afternoon. Erin, sadly, could not come :(((( But Alek and Matt did, and we had a blast :) We ate pizza, listened to random music, watched the movie, unloaded my family's van from camping, and then played video games. :) It was so fun. :) My guy friends are THE BEST! Just saying...like....y'all might have guy friends, too...but mine are better. haha ;) I'm a little prejudiced, I suppose, though... :P
Anywhosies...I should probably end this and go read or something :) OH! I finished Wuthering Heights (by Emily Bronte) today!! It was really good! And incredibly weird...but still good! :) And tomorrow I'm starting 1984 by George Orwell. This is my favorite thing about being homeschooled: I get to pick out the classics I read for school! :)
Okay, well, ttyl! Ipml! ;) Hope you all have a wonderest, spectacumous, fabular, awezing, amasome, perfect weekend! ^_^

GBC Diaries 2011
Yo! So...I know, I know...I haven't written in a while. But hey, I'm gonna make up for that! :) Well, I definitely wanted to post on here about my experiences at camp...but I was like "dude...I'm never going to remember everything I wanted to tell!!" So then, I decided to write in my journal a lot while I was at camp, and then when I got home, I would post my journal entries on my blog! :D So...that is what I plan to do! ^_^ That's what I did when I went to Mexico, and it worked pretty well :)
Anyway, I will post my first entry in a little while...but I also wanted to say that I had a BLASSSSTT at the beach with Laura! :D We have spent three weeks straight together...first the beach, and then camp! :) It was soooo much fun!!! I love her! <3 (Thank you, dear Laura, for inviting me!) :) We did some crazy fun stuff...like setting up pranks for Laura's family at 2a.m.....and dancing the Cupid Shuffle and Cha Cha Slide on the beach (trying to get other people to join us ;)....and laying out in the sun (and getting SUNBURNED!!!), and swimming in the ocean (of course), and eating junkfood, and cooking a good meal, and taking pictures, and watching SCARY MOVIES!!!! Yeah...we had a BLAST! :) I'll hopefully post pictures of my summer later on... :)
Okey dokey...now I will move on to the first camp journal entry :)......

I was trying to decide
what to do: read a little in Wings of Dawn (by Sigmund Brouwer...amazing book, lemme tell ya. This is my third time reading it), write some more of the story I'm working on, or write in my journal. And then I was like "Hey! I should blog!" ^_^
So, anyway, I honestly have like, nothing interesting to blog about. haha. I'm so brilliant. "Hey yeah! I'll blog even though there's nothing to write!" Oh well...I'll make SOMETHING sound interesting...
Well...I ate peanuts today. They were yummy. But a little too salty for my liking.
I also read a chapter in the boringest (yes that is a word. "Why?", you ask. Because I said so. Which reminds me! So like, you know how sometimes you ask someone "why" and they say "because"? Okay, so in Spanish it's "Por que?" and "porque." hahaha...yeah...I find that amusing...) book ever. It is called "Stanley". Okay, actually it's called "The Scottish Chiefs". But I named it Stanley... This book belongs to my dear friend, Matt. Although, I might not consider him so "dear" anymore by the time I'm finally finished with this horrid book. It's his favorite (FAVORITE!?!?) book. And unfortunately, I made a deal with him to read it if he read 8 books that I wanted him to read. But see, here's the thing: Matt is a speed reader, and I am not. And the books I wanted him to read were EASY and AWESOME books!!! The book that he wanted me to read is hard to read and boring!!! :'( So, my mom has now put it on my school reading schedule...so I'm just considering it to be schoolwork. :P Bleh. B to the L to the E to the H. :PPPPPPPPP
Okay, I am finished ranting now, I suppose.
Aaaaaanywho, OH! I actually do have interestingness to post about! :D My best friend, Erin, had a birthday party on saturday! ^_^ It was SOOO fun!!!! And I loved getting to know some of her friends from school! Cause, ya know, it's like I hear about them all the time, see them on facebook and everything, but I've just never gotten to actually hang out with them. So it was awesome actually getting to do that! :) AND we got to dance. ^_^
Which reminds me...I am going to yet another birthday party on Friday night! My friend, Jaymee, is having her sixteenth birthday party, and it is going to be epic. Once again, we will be dancing :) I'm excited cause I'll get to learn more dances :) I only know a few, so this will be awesome. :):):):)
ALSO, I am SO pumped cause my aunts are coming to visit this week/weekend!!! YAY!!!!!! And Ant Janet and I are, at some point while she is here, going to see "African Cats". :) Ant Janet says she wants to go with me because I'm the only one who will appreciate it as much as she will. Haha :) I'm excited :)
Okay, so for school right now, I have to write a paper comparing William Golding's Lord of the Flies to A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. It's pretty funny, because I brought this upon myself. I simply mentioned to my mom that the books had some similarities, and then she was like "Hey! You should write a paper on that!". I was like "oh...snap." haha :P But I actually think it's gonna be kind of cool :) I liked both of the books...especially A Tale of Two Cities. In fact, I really want to read it again. I was just SO confused for the first like, 2/3 of it, that I feel like I didn't get much out of it. But now that I understand what was going on, I want to read it again! :) It's really a good book! I sobbed at the end of it. hahaha
Oh! So, the Blue Angels were doing an airshow here over the weekend, and to raise money for our missions trip, our youth group was selling parking spaces near the show. Erin and I helped out on Sunday afternoon, and it was SO fun!! :) Matt was with us for a couple hours, too, which added to the funness :) The Blue Angels were soooooo cool, though! We could see them a little from the parking lot, and we could DEFINITELY hear them! It was awesome :) AND we made a lot of money! :) That's always nice! haha :)
Have I told you about our missions trip? If so, y'all can just skip this part...lol :) It's a local trip. We'll be staying at the church all week, and hosting a VBS for kids from downtown. I think it will be great :) I've gotten to meet some of the kids that we'll be working with, and they're so sweet :) I'm very excited to get to do an outreach for them. We'll also be helping a lady in our town who is in need. Her house is full of her belongings, like she just has a LOT of stuff, and it needs to be sorted through, and cleaned out. So, we're going to be taking all of her stuff out of her house, and then cleaning the house while she sorts through the stuff. I am so excited that we have the opportunity to help someone out in such a big way! She is so excited...she apparently sees this as the day when she will "get her life back". How cool is that??? We would appreciate your prayers for her and her son, that they will come to Christ through this experience. :) And also, for all of the kids we'll be working with at the VBS! :) Thank you! Oh, and the missions trip is close to the end of June, by the way.
Another thing I'm really excited about (although, it is completely different) is going to King's Dominion in June!!!!!!!! :DDD Yup. It's gonna be sweet. I've never gone with our youth group before, so I'm pumped. :) :):) HOPEFULLY, at least Erin, Laura, and Matt will be going on this trip (if not more of my friends), so it's going to be sooooo muuuuuuuuch fuuuuuun! :):):)
Okay, well, I'm done for now. Probably none of that was interesting to anyone but myself...but oh well! It was fun to type! haha :) ipml! Have a good night!

B to the L to the E to the H. :PPPPPPPPP
Okay, I am finished ranting now, I suppose.
Aaaaaanywho, OH! I actually do have interestingness to post about! :D My best friend, Erin, had a birthday party on saturday! ^_^ It was SOOO fun!!!! And I loved getting to know some of her friends from school! Cause, ya know, it's like I hear about them all the time, see them on facebook and everything, but I've just never gotten to actually hang out with them. So it was awesome actually getting to do that! :) AND we got to dance. ^_^
Which reminds me...I am going to yet another birthday party on Friday night! My friend, Jaymee, is having her sixteenth birthday party, and it is going to be epic. Once again, we will be dancing :) I'm excited cause I'll get to learn more dances :) I only know a few, so this will be awesome. :):):):)
ALSO, I am SO pumped cause my aunts are coming to visit this week/weekend!!! YAY!!!!!! And Ant Janet and I are, at some point while she is here, going to see "African Cats". :) Ant Janet says she wants to go with me because I'm the only one who will appreciate it as much as she will. Haha :) I'm excited :)
Okay, so for school right now, I have to write a paper comparing William Golding's Lord of the Flies to A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. It's pretty funny, because I brought this upon myself. I simply mentioned to my mom that the books had some similarities, and then she was like "Hey! You should write a paper on that!". I was like "oh...snap." haha :P But I actually think it's gonna be kind of cool :) I liked both of the books...especially A Tale of Two Cities. In fact, I really want to read it again. I was just SO confused for the first like, 2/3 of it, that I feel like I didn't get much out of it. But now that I understand what was going on, I want to read it again! :) It's really a good book! I sobbed at the end of it. hahaha
Oh! So, the Blue Angels were doing an airshow here over the weekend, and to raise money for our missions trip, our youth group was selling parking spaces near the show. Erin and I helped out on Sunday afternoon, and it was SO fun!! :) Matt was with us for a couple hours, too, which added to the funness :) The Blue Angels were soooooo cool, though! We could see them a little from the parking lot, and we could DEFINITELY hear them! It was awesome :) AND we made a lot of money! :) That's always nice! haha :)
Have I told you about our missions trip? If so, y'all can just skip this part...lol :) It's a local trip. We'll be staying at the church all week, and hosting a VBS for kids from downtown. I think it will be great :) I've gotten to meet some of the kids that we'll be working with, and they're so sweet :) I'm very excited to get to do an outreach for them. We'll also be helping a lady in our town who is in need. Her house is full of her belongings, like she just has a LOT of stuff, and it needs to be sorted through, and cleaned out. So, we're going to be taking all of her stuff out of her house, and then cleaning the house while she sorts through the stuff. I am so excited that we have the opportunity to help someone out in such a big way! She is so excited...she apparently sees this as the day when she will "get her life back". How cool is that??? We would appreciate your prayers for her and her son, that they will come to Christ through this experience. :) And also, for all of the kids we'll be working with at the VBS! :) Thank you! Oh, and the missions trip is close to the end of June, by the way.
Another thing I'm really excited about (although, it is completely different) is going to King's Dominion in June!!!!!!!! :DDD Yup. It's gonna be sweet. I've never gone with our youth group before, so I'm pumped. :) :):) HOPEFULLY, at least Erin, Laura, and Matt will be going on this trip (if not more of my friends), so it's going to be sooooo muuuuuuuuch fuuuuuun! :):):)
Okay, well, I'm done for now. Probably none of that was interesting to anyone but myself...but oh well! It was fun to type! haha :) ipml! Have a good night!

Why, hello there!
So, I felt like posting a....post! Aren't you so glad? lol :)
Anyway, WOWSERS! I sure have a lot to talk about!!! :D (I know what you're thinking: ooooh....greaaaat....she's going to talk a lot....wonderfulness...) lol :P
Okay, first off I will share about my amazinglyfunandawesome trip to Richmond to visit my dear Ant Janet! She invited me to come visit her with my grandparents so we could go shopping for my birthday and stuff. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!! I had never been to such large stores before in my life!!! We went to one of the malls there, and it was MASSIVE!! Especially Forever 21. It. Was. Huge. It had two floors, and..... it was just overwhelming! Anyway, Ant Janet told me I could pick out an outfit for my birthday party, but she ended up buying me a pair of jeans and five tops! I was in shock for a while. It was very nice of her :) We also went to this ginormous jewelry store called Charming Charlie's. That was basically the most jewelry I have ever seen at one time. It was crazy. Aaaand, we went to a lot of other stores, too. We had a blast! And then....the food! Okay, the first restaurant we went to was called Galaxy Diner. It was one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been in! It was supposed to be like dining cars in a train, and it was all like....eighties style, I guess? It was amazing! And the food was awesome, too! I got a black bean burger, which was sooooo good! And also, their trademark thing is fried pickles! Those are good! :) And then we went to a Thai restaruant. I had never had Thai food before, and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing!!!! I forget what I got....it was like, rice noodles with chicken and bean sprouts....and I got "American hot" sauce. Mistake. I love hot stuff, but not THAT hot! I can't imagine what "Thai hot" tastes like!!!! :O Yeah, next time it'll be Medium for me. lol :) And then we went to a Greek restaurant. It was very interesting. I tried so many new (and weird) things! I tried lamb, grape leaf-wrapped meat thingies, calamari, and Greek caviar. Veerrrryyyy interesting! I liked everything I tried except for the calamari and the caviar. :P yuck. But I'm glad I tried it! :D
We also went to the Hollywood Cemetery and took pictures and looked around and stuff. That was really cool! :) I'll have to post some of the pics I took! :)
So yeah, we had a blast! I want to go again sometime. :)
Another thing that happened recently is......*drumroll*......I got a job!!! :D I LOOOOOVE it! I'm working at a cafe on a college campus. And we serve Starbucks coffee, so that's pretty awesome! I get to make coffeeeeee! Hehehe, my supervisor said that if my dad wanted the coffee grounds, he could have them. HAHAHAHA! How ironic is this? Ant Janet and Daddy were teasing me about how I would be all embarrassed because I would have to take a bucket to work to collect the coffee grounds. lol!!! Anyway, I just....absolutely love it! Having a job has given me so much more confidence! And I feel more independent, too. I mean...I don't know, I just was not very confident in myself that I would be able to succeed at much in life. Like, I figured I would probably fail at having a job, or being away from home for any significant length of time, or having to meet new people. But this summer, I worked at a camp for two weeks and met a ton of new people who I LOVE, and now I have a job and I'm already able to be left alone and take care of a lot of things (still a bit scary, but I've been left alone during the lunchtime rush, so I feel like I can handle anything! haha). So yeah, I'm just really excited because I'm discovering that I CAN do things that I thought seemed overwhelmingly frightening before! I feel like I've grown up a lot this year. :) Now, I've just got to get over my fear of driving....haha :P
I also need to work on my relationship with God, though. I am pretty faithful in doing my quiettime, but I still struggle with WANTING to do it, you know? It's so hard sometimes, and it makes me feel really bad. Especially at times like this, during the Christmas season, when one thinks more about how much Jesus gave up to come here to earth and save us. It makes me think "Wow. He gave it all for me, and I still have a hard time spending a few minutes with Him every day." I know that's normal, but....why? Why is it so hard? I guess it's part of being human. But that's the problem: it's so easy to use that as an "excuse". Like, "Oh well. I'm just human, I can't help this feeling of not desiring to spend time with God." But it's NOT an excuse! Ugh! This just really bothers me! I think my main problem is that I think about my friends too much. I LOOOOVE my friends! I almost have an unhealthy obsession with my friends! haha. And I know that God WANTS me to have friends - especially such good and godly friends as I have! But His intention in letting me have friends was NOT for them to come before my relationship with Him! I just don't exactly know how to fix this problem. :/ It's seems like it should be easy...but it's not. I'm so excited about this feeling of being more "grown up", but it's so much more important for me to grow up in my relationship with God than it is to grow up by getting a job or learning to drive. In the end, it'll be how I lived for God that counts. I'm not saying that it's not important to have a good work ethic and be mature and be able to handle new things, I'm just saying that's not the MOST important thing, and that's what I need to remember.
*whew*. Sometimes it just helps to write out my thoughts like that. :)
Anyway, hm.....*tries to think of any other new and interesting recent events*......we had our choir Christmas cantata recently! That was fun! :) OH! Okay, so I'm totally pumped because for Teens Involved this year, in addition to our Tipo group, we're going to do a large vocal group with guys, too! :) I think our group will include me, Erin, Laura, Katherine, Matt, Matthew, Alek, Jacob, and Michael. And maybe Bri, but I don't know if she's interested or not....I need to ask her! haha :) But yeah, we've been wanting to do this for a long time and it seems that it will actually happen this time! :D If we do it, I think we're going to sing "I'll Fly Away". It's gonna be epic. :)
Well, I'd better go...I wanted to edit some pictures. :) Oh yeah! I was going to post some of them! :D So, I might be back on later! :) Well, ipml! :D

so, there was something
i wanted to write about...but i now cannot recall what it was.....

oh yes. okay, so my dad has been collecting bags of coffee grounds from various places that make coffee in large quantities (i.e. starbucks, shell) because he had heard that these coffee grounds are good for soil (we have a large garden, by the way). so, he had collected so many bags of coffee grounds that we had this huge mountain of them in our blueberry patch! it was disgusting, lemme tell ya! but yesterday, we pulled up everything in our garden (cause most of it was finished producing) and then we were going to distribute the coffee grounds all over the garden and then daddy was going to till it (add coffee and stir, as daddy would say). this is what we did yesterday for four hours. it was very...ahem...interesting. i must say, rotten coffee grounds stink reeeeaallly bad. :P like, it's horrible. i could barely breathe! but my dad insisted, "you don't know stink!" haha :) but anyway, coffee grounds are really heavy, too! there were like, fifty bags at least, and we could only put like, two or three in a wheelbarrow at a time, and even that was really heavy. so yeah, it took a long time, and it was painful. and i got sunburn and my hands are sore. lol :P but my mother and i were talking yesterday, when we had finished in the garden, about how we should be thankful that we're healthy enough to do hard work like that. even if it's not enjoyable, we should still be thankful that we CAN do it! plus, it made me think of the people in other countries, take mexico for example, who have to work in strawberry fields all day, and only make fifty cents an hour! and they don't get any of the produce even! it's so sad, and it makes me thankful that i don't have to live like that. even though i don't usually enjoy working in the garden, i always feel really good afterward because i feel like i've accomplished a lot. plus, i do enjoy the produce from the garden :)
anyway, that was quite a lot of babbling on and on, and i apologize. haha
so, i'm pretty pumped cause tonight we're having this homeschool ice cream social thingy after church! yay! :D i love ice cream! jk, i'm excited cause i get to hang out with my friends. in fact, haha, it's so funny, usually at these ice cream socials, i get a bowl of ice cream, and then i can't finish it and one of my guy friends finishes it for me (cause, you know, guys are bottomless pits...). yeah, i have this weird problem where i have trouble eating with other people (besides my family, thankfully!!! lol). i think the problem is that i talk too much, actually...lol! that and i get so hyper sometimes that i just can't eat! lol!
yeaaaah...well, i think i'm gonna stop typing now because y'all are probably like, "what on earth is wrong with her! why does she think we want to hear all this?!" haha
ipml!!! ;)

well, today
i went walking/jogging with my good friend, morgan. she's totally awesome:) and we're "twins" because we're so much alike ;) her family and my mom and i are doing this thing called "Couch to 5K" and yeah, it's pretty cool. we have to do a 25 minute alternating-thingy between walking and jogging. well, that's THIS week, but then next week it'll be harder. anyway, this morning i got up at 6a.m. so we could get to the track by seven (you know, it takes me thirty minutes to get ready...and if i take a shower, it's like, two hours! jk, more like, an hour and a half.). yeah, it felt awesome outside at such an early hour. and by the time we got there i was in good spirits...not quite as asleep as i had been when i first arose. I felt SO wonderful after exercising, though! it was awesome, man! lol :P i've decided that i actually enjoy exercising, but i've just never HAD to do it before, so i never really exercised on a regular basis. so yeah. i'm excited! lol :)
well, i gotta go! ipml!!

this is the story
of my life. my life as it usually is. it is a sad, sad thing. my clumsiness, plus my brother's evilness...it equals disaster.
Anyway, I simply wanted to inform you of how my life has taken a turn for the worse in recent days. On Sunday afternoon, before we ate lunch, I was munching on cucumbers. Simply minding my own business. In fact, I was being obedient! My parents had actually TOLD me to eat those cucumbers! Anyway, these were vinegar-soaked cucumber slices. And being the um..frugal person that I am, I did not feel a need to waste a perfectly clean plate on cucumber slices, and therefore I simply ate them out of the container (which was filled almost to the top with vinegar). As I was contentedly enjoying these cucumbers, my brother, Benjamin, decided that he wanted some. SO HE TRIED TO STEAL ONE!!! As you can imagine, I was not pleased by this outburst. In fact, I was quite DISpleased. Therefore, I tried to protect my precious vegetables. In the process of performing this noble deed, I.........spilled the vinegar all over my lap. IT BURNS REALLY BAD, PEOPLE! Vinegar and skin are not meant to come in contact with one another!!! Plus, this vinegar spilled all over the counter and the floor, as well. For a few moments I simply sat there in shock. But then I felt compelled to clean up this mess. Well, actually, my parents told me to....while they laughed at me. (In a good-natured way. Although Ben, on the other hand, I am sure was laughing at me quite evilly, thinking "HA! my plan worked!"). Anyway, I cleaned up the vinegar and washed my legs off, and returned to my normal routine.
Then, on Sunday evening, after church, I attended an afterglow. At this afterglow, there was food. And this food was meant to be placed on a plate. A styrofoam plate. I chose to consume (or at least, I desired to consume) Skittles, Sour Skittles, M&M's, two cookies, and some Doritos. I placed them on a plate. A styrofoam plate. I ate several Skittles, and possibly a few M&M's. I calmly (well, as calmly as possible at an afterglow) followed my dear friends downstairs and outside. Once we had reached our desired destination (the patio), we (Bri, Laura, and I) stood there and had a lovely conversation (well, actually I don't remember what it was about...but I'm sure it was lovely). Whatever the conversation, at some point, Bri said something worthy of a hi-5, and therefore, being the good friend that I am, I eagerly gave her one! Or at least, I tried to do so. Unfortunately, my plate, a styrofoam plate, got in the way of my hand, and I inadvertantly flung its contents all over my dear friend, Bri. I felt quite embarrassed. Not to mention the fact that I lost all of my food except one cookie that Bri somehow managed to catch. Thank you, Bri, and I am terribly sorry for this mishap.
Saturday, I got our lawnmower stuck in a ditch.
Tonight, I was instructed to carry the leftover soup from tonight's dinner to the downstairs refrigerator. I was in the process of doing so when I noticed Ben's evil smile. I then noticed my iPod sitting next to him. Therefore I calmly told him, "DON'T TOUCH MY IPOD!!!!". At this, his face fell noticeably. Then he decided to torture me by following behind me as I ventured down to the basement. It was quite annoying, the paranoia that he might, at any moment, tickle me as I carried this large pot of soup. But that was the least of my worries. Along the way to the refrigerator, he discovered a dead lizard. He picked it up and teased me about it (although he somehow thought it was a frog...) until I was paranoid that he would shove it in my face. Therefore I ran the rest of the way to the refrigerator. As soon as my back was turned to put the pot of soup in its rightful place, apparently, Ben tossed this lizard onto the top of my head. I did not notice this. As soon as the pot was safely on a shelf, I whipped around to make sure the lizard was still where it should be - in Ben's hand. It was not. Seeing this, and Ben's evil smile and hysterical laughter, I screamed and jumped up and down and shook my head to rid it of this disgusting thing. It fell on the floor, and I was immediately quite angry with my...ahem...dear brother. Therefore I grabbed a 2x4 (except that it wasn't a 2x4 because it was shorter...but I do not know the exact measurements) and chased Ben around the basement and eventually upstairs with it. Then he proceeded to lock himself in his room until I gave up. Later, as he told our mother about this occurance, she told me, "Homicide is not the answer." A wise piece of advice that every human being should heed.
I am sorry if i have bored you with all of these stories. but i simply thought it might be funny to other people who have not had the...ahem...pleasure of experiences such as these. And keep in mind, that this sort of thing happens to me on a regular basis. If you are ever bored, simply ask me if i have had any klutzy or odd experiences, and i will be happy to entertain you for a couple of hours.
well, ipml!! :)

Once we had reached our desired destination (the patio), we (Bri, Laura, and I) stood there and had a lovely conversation (well, actually I don't remember what it was about...but I'm sure it was lovely). Whatever the conversation, at some point, Bri said something worthy of a hi-5, and therefore, being the good friend that I am, I eagerly gave her one! Or at least, I tried to do so. Unfortunately, my plate, a styrofoam plate, got in the way of my hand, and I inadvertantly flung its contents all over my dear friend, Bri. I felt quite embarrassed. Not to mention the fact that I lost all of my food except one cookie that Bri somehow managed to catch. Thank you, Bri, and I am terribly sorry for this mishap.
Saturday, I got our lawnmower stuck in a ditch.
Tonight, I was instructed to carry the leftover soup from tonight's dinner to the downstairs refrigerator. I was in the process of doing so when I noticed Ben's evil smile. I then noticed my iPod sitting next to him. Therefore I calmly told him, "DON'T TOUCH MY IPOD!!!!". At this, his face fell noticeably. Then he decided to torture me by following behind me as I ventured down to the basement. It was quite annoying, the paranoia that he might, at any moment, tickle me as I carried this large pot of soup. But that was the least of my worries. Along the way to the refrigerator, he discovered a dead lizard. He picked it up and teased me about it (although he somehow thought it was a frog...) until I was paranoid that he would shove it in my face. Therefore I ran the rest of the way to the refrigerator. As soon as my back was turned to put the pot of soup in its rightful place, apparently, Ben tossed this lizard onto the top of my head. I did not notice this. As soon as the pot was safely on a shelf, I whipped around to make sure the lizard was still where it should be - in Ben's hand. It was not. Seeing this, and Ben's evil smile and hysterical laughter, I screamed and jumped up and down and shook my head to rid it of this disgusting thing. It fell on the floor, and I was immediately quite angry with my...ahem...dear brother. Therefore I grabbed a 2x4 (except that it wasn't a 2x4 because it was shorter...but I do not know the exact measurements) and chased Ben around the basement and eventually upstairs with it. Then he proceeded to lock himself in his room until I gave up. Later, as he told our mother about this occurance, she told me, "Homicide is not the answer." A wise piece of advice that every human being should heed.
I am sorry if i have bored you with all of these stories. but i simply thought it might be funny to other people who have not had the...ahem...pleasure of experiences such as these. And keep in mind, that this sort of thing happens to me on a regular basis. If you are ever bored, simply ask me if i have had any klutzy or odd experiences, and i will be happy to entertain you for a couple of hours.
well, ipml!! :)

i still need to tell you guys about camp!!!
i'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get to this! :P i had an amazing time! it was one of the best times of my life! :)
so, my senior counselor, juliet, was pretty awesome! i loved her :) and all my campers were great! i was closer to the girls in my cabin the first week than the girls the second week, but all of them were awesome! they really liked my devotional...in fact, i kinda felt bad about how much they liked it! juliet did the devos all the other nights, but after mine, the girls were like "miss beth! are you going to do the devotional tomorrow night, too?!" "that was the best devotion ever!" etc. haha :) it was kinda funny, but i felt bad for juliet :( the only reason they liked mine better was because it involved toothpaste! ;) omw! juliet actually got the toothpaste back in the tube! i was NOT pleased with her! :((( lol! it was soooo funny though! she completely destroyed the object lesson! i was like "um...well, okay, BESIDES juliet (because she's just weird), no one can get the toothpaste back in the tube, right?" haha :)
we had an amazingly fun time on the JC outing, too! we went bowling first (which i was hoping we could go rollerskating, but oh well...). i'm terrible at bowling, so i embarrassed myself, as usual. lol :) then we went to the mall food court to eat dinner, and then we just hung out in the mall for an hour. that was SOOOO fun!! they had this thing called a "hurricane simulator" and three of the guys (toto, waylon, and steven) all got in it and paid two dollars to do it. it was lame. but then we all got in at the same time just to see if we could. THAT was fun! we couldn't close the door though, until two of the guys got out. we also had a stalker! :O lol :) he was sitting on a bench at the mall, and he thought we were all crazy. he saw waylon galluping around the mall pretending to be a horse, and he was like "and i thought I was crazy!" and then eventually he had to take a picture of us, and he was like "i'm seriously going to blow this up really big and post it on my office wall!" um...creepiness! and he said we were the "craziest gang he'd ever seen". lol! but that's not even the weird part! after the mall, we went to walmart and then out to ice cream. at the ice cream place, we were all out in the parking lot waiting for miss shelly to turn up "the song" really loud so we could dance to it. then all of a sudden, this guy walks over, and it's the guy from the mall!! it was SO weird!!! we called him "the stalker guy" the rest of the week. lol :) oh, at walmart, we had sword fights, and hula hoop contests, and we played with bouncy balls. also, everyone bought stuff, so i bought duct tape (i was INCREDIBLY disappointed though, because they didn't have any cool colors!!! :((( ) and chocolate milk. lol :) then we watched waylon waste his money on one of those machines that you pay a quarter and you try to pick up a toy or whatever. he did this so many times, he probably just coulda bought the thing he was trying to get, with all the money he spent! lol
anyway, i think i decided that my favorite after meals chore was loading and unloading the dishwasher. it was fun because it was easy, and in between loads, i could just help the other girls with their chores. and we were so goofy and weird the whole time, we had a blast! :) my favorite morning chore (i think) was vacuuming the office building. i liked that because it did not involve cleaning bathrooms. lol :)
during activity time, i had archery 1st period, JC meeting 2nd period, leather crafts 3rd period. and then the first week, i had "work" 4th period. this was just random extra chores. lol :) but it was SO fun cause i did it with another JC girl, named rachel, and we were able to talk a LOT. :) then the second week i had nature for 4th period. i loved nature cause steven and i always had SO much fun!! but it was annoying because i always had to leave thirty minutes early to set up for dinner. so i would like, be at the creek and be soaked because steven and i just had a huge splash war, and then lauren (who was teaching nature) would be like "hey, beth, you need to get to the dining hall!" whoops. lol :) it was okay, though.
the cabin outing night was always fun. we went to the creek and juliet and i painted ourselves with rock paint :) the second week, on the outing, one of the girls got saved! it was really cool :) i even got to talk to her about it, to make sure she really meant it and everything. she said she did, but you know, it's really hard to tell when a kid is that young, if they really understand or not. but it's still awesome! :)
so yeah, it was pretty awesome being at camp! :)
then this past thursday, we went camping with some freinds of ours. we had an awesome time! especially on saturday when everyone was there. so laura, erin, jacob, matt, and i all hung out together all day. and then for part of the day some other friends of ours (who were at a different part of the campground) hung out with us. we had a blast! oh, and we also had a surprise "birthday party" for matt. his sixteenth birthday was a couple weeks ago and he didn't get to have a party, so we wanted to do something special for him :) i think he had fun :)
yesterday, me, laura, matt, and jacob had a blast! we played like, one game of boggle, and then we played fax machine for a few hours. lol! it was SOOOO much fun!! :)
oh, btw, we're starting school tomorrow :( lol, hopefully it won't be too bad.. :)
well, i gotta go! ipml!

guess what...
IT'S SUMMMMMMERRRRR!!!!! well...not the actual season...but as far as school goes....IT'S SUMMMMMERRRRR!!!! :D haha
so, today we went to the pool, and it was awesome! :) i hung out with jaymee and a little with leanna. and then i finished reading "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. best. book. ever. period. it's my favorite of all time, and i read it once a year :)
i'm also going to be reading The Firstborn Series by Karen Kingsbury this summer. well, finishing it. i've already read all the books except one. and then after that, i'll read The Sunrise Series by the same author. these books are awesome! the first series is The Redemption Series. that one is my favorite so far i think. but i really like Firstborn, too.
anyway, i like reading. jtlyk :) hahaha, okay, i just remembered. a few weeks ago, i said "jtlyk" (which means 'just to let you know') in an email to jacob, and he was like "what does that mean? 'just touching large yellow kangaroos?" hahahaha! yeah, i found that quite amusing.
so...i might be getting contacts! i'm very happy :) i really don't like wearing glasses...first of all, they annoy me, second, they don't look very good on me. i would love to have contacts. and since i need my prescription updated anyway, my parents decided that i might be able to get them :)
oh yeah! okay, so idk if i already told y'all this or not, but i got the job as a JC at that summer camp!!! :D i'm so excited! i'll be there for two weeks next month. it's going to be quite a new experience, and i'm really excited/nervous about it. OH! but i recently found out that the children's pastor and his wife MIGHT be there for one of the weeks that i'm there! so that would be amazing if they happened to be there the first week that i'm working at camp. it would be nice actually knowing someone there! :)
wow. i just tripped up the stairs while running away from shadow! i hurt my shin really bad...i have no idea what i did to it, but it hurts like crazy and it's already swollen...
well, i gotta go. oh yeah, my best friend, erin, is going on a missions trip tomorrow. she's going to mexico and she'll be gone about a week. so, if you could pray for her, that'd be awesome :) she asked that i pray specifically that she doesn't get sick, and no migraines. she gets them a lot, so it would be awesome if she didn't have any while she's there!
ipml!

i know, i know, once again
i've waited too long to blog :/ i'm so lame! haha
wow, okay, so i have something very sad to say: ant janet moved TWO HOURS away!!!! :(((( we moved her on the saturday before easter. it's been really sad not having her less than two MINUTES away :( but i'm happy for her because she has a good job where she is, and i think she likes it there :)
also, Regional Teens Involved was this past weekend! and guess what?! we did really good! i'm so happy! so, this year i was in choir, our 'Tipos' singing group (me, erin, laura, and katherine), a piano duet with erin, and drama. drama doesn't really count though because all i did was push a button at three different parts. i was the EXPLOSION! haha. and believe it or not, i actually managed to botch it up! i was like "that figures!" but yeah, apparently it wasn't THAT bad. like, i accidentally pushed the button when i wasn't supposed to. oh well. lol
and at Area TI, i messed up mine and erin's duet, so i was SO scared this time, but we made it through the whole thing and we actually did really well!!! :D we were thrilled! :) and tipos went well too! hahahaha, except, it was SO funny, we tried really hard to coordinate our outfits. we decided to do a theme of red, black, and white. and we said that we could have different patterns and stuff. i guess that's where we messeed up because one of the judges said (nicely) "next time you might want to think about coordinating outfits." :) hahahaha, we laughed so hard when we read that! i guess my zebra print didn't match erin's flowers and laura's diamond-ish pattern. lol :)
oh yes, and i would like to announce that tomorrow is laura's birthday!! actually...it's laura's birthday in five minutes!!! OMW!!! i need to get on facebook and tell her happy birthday because i wanted to be the first person to tell her happy birthday on her bday!!! :)
okay, i need to go :) thanks for reading my ramblings! ipml! ;)

yesterday was
the one-year anniversary of my daddy's heart surgery. to read about it, go to my mom's blog. she did a great job of telling the story :)
well, a couple of days ago, my good friend katherine emailed me to check up on me b/c i hadn't blogged in a while :) haha, yeah, so now i'm blogging. it's just that i don't have anything to blog about. well, ok, let's see, i could post about sunday! we went to a nursing home and visited with the elderly ppl there. and the tipos sang too :) that was fun :) i think they really liked it.
after we got back from the nursing home kat, bri, laura, erin, and i hung out...in the bathroom....lol, seriously! well, we were in there to change clothes and stuff, and then we just kinda hung out for a while. then bri, laura, and kat left. and erin and i decided to lipsync with my mp3 player in front of the mirror! haha, yeah, then, like, three songs later, we decided to go do somethin' else, and we walked toward the door, adn it closed!!! and then we ran out and bri, laura and kat were laughing hysterically at us. bri had recorded us singing on her mp3 player!!!!!!! it was really funny :) (good one bri!). so then laura and bri had drama practice and i guess katherine went with them. so then erin and i sat on one of the couches in the hallway and sang with my mp3 player (which, btw, has a speaker :). but then ppl who walked by started looking at us funny, so we gave up and decided to walk around w/out our shoes on (i took mine off b/c they were killing me! they were VERY uncomfortable shoes! but they looked good, which is all that matters...jk! that is a joke i have w/my parents b/c i'm like complaining about how uncomfortable my shoes or clothes are, and then my dad is like "but at least you look good!" and i'm like "yep! that's all that matters!" haha ;)
anyway, so then erin chickened out and didn't want to walk outside w/out shoes. so then we had to go ALL THE WAY back upstairs and get her shoes (actually it wasn't very far at all, but i teased her about it.) so, we walked around the building a little bit, and then just sat outside under the portico in the shade. we were just starting to have a pleasant conversation when john came out and ruined it. and he brought with him two other guys, danny and someone else. and then he just sat down in front of us and sighed and was all "im so bored." and we're like "that's nice." and then he's like "so, what are youguys doing?" and then erin's like "well, we WERE having a heart-to-heart..." and then he's just like "hm." and then danny's like "john, can't you take a hint? they don't want you here!" and then he and the other guy went inside. but john insisted on staying. so erin and i left. (*sigh*, immature seventh grade boys! jk! john's nice. but it was just kinda annoying :) so then we went into base camp and were gonna play air hockey, but it was dark in the game room and a bunch of guys (including matt, matthew, and alek.....oh brother!) were glued to the tv playing video games *rolls eyes*. so we didn't want to be the only girls in there, and we went up to the peak's game room. we played ping pong for a little while, and then we went back upstairs and sang some more. then we went back down to base camp and played air hockey with laura and bri. it was funny, bri and erin sat on the air hockey table while laura and i played, and we kept trying to hit them with the puck. so there was plenty of screaming going on, but the obsessed boys playing video games didn't even notice! it was hilarious! so then i had puppet practice. and then after that bri, laura, adn kat had something they had to do with the children's choir. so erin adn i went back to singing. and then matt came and talked to us for a while until church started. and then i had to sit by myself through the whole church service b/c i couldn't find my family and erin had to work in a children's class, and all the rest of my friends were doing something in the service! oh well. :)
ok, so that was sunday. this wednesday was the wednesday b4 mrs. g's fiftieth bday!!!!!!!!!!! (which is sunday! :) so we had a HUGE party for her. abbey, laura, katherine, and i decorated the WHOLE ROOM!!!!!!! (base camp) in purple balloons and black streamers!!!!!!! it was amazing! laura and i got a little obsessive though, we were all "more, MORE, MOOOORE!!!!" yeah, it was funny :) so then when it was getting close to the time that mrs. g would prob be there, we had a few lookouts posted at the doors. and then abbey ran in and was like "SHE'S HERE!" and we turned off the lights and we all stood around the door and when she came in we turned on the lights and were like "SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!" and she was so shocked! it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and our DIA group had cupcakes (which my mom adn i made), pizza (which we had won the week b4 b/c our group came in first place for march madness, that was soooo perfect!), m&ms, chips and salsa, veggies, soda, grapes, and prob somethin' else, but i can't remember. oh! i need to email laura and kat and ask for pics! i forgot my camera which totally stunk! ok, hold on, i'm gonna email them really quick........ok, done :)
yeah, so i had a good week :) and now my cousins are in from connecticut....wow, i still haven't seen them! yeah, ben is at amazement square w/them right now. i didn't really want to go. we had our standardized tests today. but it was the easy half of it. the 'non-math' part! and i'm not even doing algebra in the test with stinks cuz that's what i'm used to at the moment, ya know? i haven't done regular arithmetic in a long time!!!!! oh well. hopefully i'll do ok.
well, i think i'm gonna work on my story :) i'm on page fifteen right now!!!!!! i want to finish it! i mean, i like it, but for writing it, it just seems like it's dragging on. but i'm at a good part right now, so it's ok :)

right now i'm solving for y
in terms of x!!!!! it's awesome! i'm kinda liking this! but unfortunately i'll have to do saxon next year, and that prob won't be as much fun b/c it'll be much harder....according to matt...whom i do not usually believe....well, i'll believe him in this matter.
ok, now i'm solving for x in terms of y! i like solving for x better than y, so this is good!
"you are lost...you can never go...home. you are lost, you can never....go....home." sorry, i looooooooooove that song! gollum's song. it's soooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!! it makes me want to cry!!!!!!!!
oh!
y = 3x
___
2
!!!!!!!!!! isn't that awesome??? jkjkjkjk! i don't really think it's awesome, but "it's been confirmed that the aliens have landed" ok, i know, totally random, but not really if you're me listening to 'alien youth' by skillet. ok, back to algebra...."come on freaks, let's go!" once again, please excuse my random outbursts.....maybe even ignore them! wait, did that make sense??? idk. i don't care.
holy cow!!!!!!!!! i just randomly decided to check my email, adn it said 'receiving message one of fifteen'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! adn i think that most of them are from laura! wow. no. actually ALL of them are from laura. holy cow!!!!!!! that's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
dude. that was stupid! i accidentally solved for y instead of x! i even typed it on here and i didn't notice it!!!!! wow, that's really sad.
i just realized that the problems in 'solve for x in terms of y' are the same as in 'solve for y in terms of x' that stinks.
ok, here's my word problem:
Parisian sewer #1 contains 9 fewer gigantic rats - rats bigger than cats, some might say - than Parisian sewer #2. Parisian sewer #2 contains 5 fewer giganitc rats than Parisian sewer #3. If there are 56 gigantic rats in all three sewers combined, how many gigantic rats are in sewer #1?
i hate word problems! oh well. this one seems easier than most of the ones i get. hmm....ok, i'm gonna try to work it out now :) ow! my jaw hurts really bad right now! holy cow! that's weird. grrrrr! idk how to figure this out! i'll prob have to look it up on the cd...i figured it out!!!!!! ok, just in case you for some reason, decided to try to figure it out, i'll put the answer in 'invisible ink' so you have to highlight it to see it! ;) here it is: 11 gigantic rats.
ok, now the color of my font prob isn't right...oh well. ok, i'm done w/algebra now, so i want to go eat dinner and watch a movie w/ben! see ya!

right now i am quite mad
at the parental controls on our computer! i was just trying to download photoshop onto this computer and it wouldn't let me b/c i had to have a password. my parents are the only ones that know the password, so i couldn't download it. my mom has a headache and so she is taking a nap, so she couldn't help me. and of course daddy is at work, so he couldn't help me. so that is why i'm not putting pics from my camera on here today. sorry.
yeah, also on sunday when we had matt and his family over (i'm not allowed to put their last name on here so that's why i'm calling them that), i wanted matt to see the pics from my bday party, so i turned on the computer and got on my blog and waited for it to load, and that took quite a while. then i finally got it up, and the parental controls blocked the pics....yeah, i was very mad. so then i got on my parents computer, and as soon as i got it up, we had to leave to go to church. grrrr! oh well.
anyway, sorry for complaining. wait....that sounds familiar.....oh yeah, i had to tell that to laura in an email...oops. ok, i know it seems like it, but i really don't complain all the time. just lately i have a little....sorry!
we had alot of fun on sunday. i didn't take very many pics, but when me, ben and matt were in the car on the way to church i took a hilarious video that i'll have to put on here. i'll just warn you though, daddy burps in it, so if you can't stand crude things, i advise you not to watch it. actually it was dark and you can't really see much, but you can hear everything. it's hilarious. i really want to put it on here, but i can't yet!!!!!!! grrrrr. well.....maybe i can figure out a way to just put the video on the computer without downloading the other pics......hmmmmm.....
ok, well, i think i'm gonna try to figure that out now...so i'll prob be posting again soon!

what's up
hey! so, yeah, i'm really tired cuz my mom and i have been staying up late watching the olympics every nite. well, ya know, it's not late for some people, but it is for me. the olympics are supposed to go off at 12am, but they've been going off more like anywhere from 12:30-1:00. yeah, but it's been worth it for sure! we got to see (live) the amazing swimming relay with michael phelps. it was soooooooo exciting! in case u don't know usa beat france by 8/100 of a second! (if that's the way u write it) yeah, it was sooooo amazing! the guy that was swimming the last leg (the one that actually won) was jason lezak. it has been so much fun watching michael phelps win all those gold medals! he now has 11!
we have also been watching the gymnastics. that has been fun too!
today my mom and i got our hair cut. mine is now much shorter than it was in the pics i posted recently.
tomorrow we are having erin and her mom, and jaymee and her mom over for brunch. it's erin's mom's (ms. colleen's) bday.
last saturday we went to a baseball game with jacob's family (okay i am going to call them the gs) our team won, and afterward we watched fireworks.
well i'm gonna go. i'll post more later!

okay, so i named my last post "peach picking and sleepover" and then i forgot the sleepover part. so erin spent the night the other nite (yeah, i can't remember what day it was). we had fun.
right now i'm quite sad. raven and jamie are going home tomorrow =(. so raven hadn't watched 'high school musical' yet and i wanted her to watch it and the 2nd one also. i reserved them both at our library, and we got the 1st one, but the 2nd one hasn't come in. yeah, i was kinda sad cuz i wouldn't get to watch it with raven, and then i decided to call mrs. j (i'm gonna start calling her that cuz i'm tired of calling her 'jacob's mom') cuz they have that movie. so raven and i are going to have a sleepover tonite, and we might get to watch it tonite, if not we'll watch it tomorrow.
okay, as u can prob tell, i don't have alot to write about (i just typed a whole paragraph about how i borrowed a movie from someone =)
ok, well i gotta go! see ya!
