cya there

gimme some 'nuggles

2005-04-20T13:46:00.000-07:00

i got to "nuggle" with a two year old tonite. it was awesome. dominic's bed was having issues so i popped in a land before time video, put the volume down low, got a blanket, and we snuggled on the couch until his parents got home. he fell asleep and then woke up to get his juice and then a couple minutes later mommy and daddy got home. it was so sweet. he actually called me mommy while we were snuggling on the couch. he is such a sweetheart!

thats my happy thought for the night :D

frazzled

2005-04-18T13:58:00.000-07:00

i am quite frazzled tonight. my mother and i were stranded in the school parking lot for 2 hours bc my car wouldnt start. heres how the rest of the day went...

-4-6: stranded
-6-7: get the car home, go to jo-ann fabrics, get dinner, and get back to the school for choir by 7
-7-8: choir rehearsal
-8-9:30: work on a project at a friends house
-9:30-10: head home
-10:55: write this
-10:58: post this
-11: off to bed! good night darlings!

i dont get me

2005-04-15T10:51:00.000-07:00

sometimes i dont understand myself. last night i was talking with a friend about guys and my standards, and i've been kinda low since then. i dont get it. i have my standards, and i will not waver from them. that is nothing to be low about! i dont know whats wrong with me. maybe its the fact that prom is coming up; again this is nothing to be upset about! prom will be fun and my friend joel is even reserving a dance for me! i have nothing to be upset about and yet i am! well i know i'll feel better sunday when i go to pvm. i always feel great when im there :)

oh give me a home where the buffalo heads roam...

2005-04-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

i cant even express how full of joy i am right now... the weekend was truly amazing. im never happy to leave, but once im home and look back at the awesome time i had, i am filled with so much joy! i am so blessed to have PVM and all my friends from there. the experience is never the same, but it is always so amazing. i will be smiling for the rest of the week because i will be reflecting on this weekend. thank you Jesus for my home away from home and my second family at PVM!

its sleepy time down south

2005-04-07T12:42:00.000-07:00

i have been so tired lately! i have slept for a huge chunk of the day. i came home from school and started to read for english and fell asleep. woke up, ate dinner, slept for about 2 hours, woke up, read some more, and now here i am with a throbbing headache. i think maybe i grind my teeth. both of my parents do...
anyway... tomorrow/this weekend is going to be fun/busy. tomorrow is the talent show and im helping with backstage stuff. saturday morning i have to take my ACT (yay) and then its up to PVM to help with the SLAM teen retreat for the rest of the weekend. yay!! really fun stuff yo!

let the craziness ensue

2005-03-06T14:19:00.000-08:00

well it is the week of the musical.

things to do:

finish making the program
finish the senior video
sell tickets
buy tickets for my insanely huge family (oh yeah :D)
manage a beautiful dress rehearsal
get all of my homework done
deal with the physical and emotional strain
find someway to deal with the pain of loosing the seniors
have 2 awesome performances
cry my eyes out at the saturday performance
give and get tons of hugs
have fun at the cast party despite the tears
actually get some sleep (this one's gonna be a stretch)

sounds like a fun-filled week to me! prayers would be much appreciated. if the fun doesn't kill me, it should be a very meaningful week.

zzz... snort... type... zzz

2005-02-07T14:46:00.000-08:00

is 8 hours of sleep too much to ask?????

lysol = new friend

2005-01-10T11:33:00.000-08:00

everyone in my family except for me has the plague. im praying that i dont get it. i do not want it. im thinking about getting a hoslter for my lysol and spraying a field of germ-killing spray ahead of me before i walk into a room. seem extreme? you haven't seen anything yet. im ordering a biochemical suit tomorrow.

odd.... take 2

merry christmas everybody!!

the inhumanity!

2004-12-19T13:30:00.000-08:00

why oh why did our teachers agree to shorten our christmas break?? just about every other school is on break already, but we have to go through wednesday. it is literally painful to think about going to school tomorrow...

pray for me. these next 3 days are going to be insane

oh the joys of high school

2004-12-14T14:16:00.000-08:00

high school relationships are so stupid. i have friends who have gone through so much grief because of them. sometimes i think it would be nice to have a boyfriend, but then i look around at all the grief my friends are going through, and i think it wouldnt be worth it. most of the guys at my school have the maturity of 5th grader anyway. im not saying that all high school relationships dont work. my parents were high school sweehearts. i just dont know why i get 'jealous' of my friends when they are going through all that grief.

an ode to lance...

2004-11-23T15:32:00.000-08:00

happy birthday to you...

happy birthday to you...

happy birthday dear lance...

happy birthday to you!

2004-11-08T10:16:00.000-08:00

the set

all the world's a stage...dont trip on a prop

2004-11-07T13:46:00.000-08:00

it was the best thing we have ever done. mr cleaver cried both nights, he was so proud. almost nothing went wrong at all. we had an extremely awesome group, and we worked together, and everyone did so well, but you wanna know the real reason so little went wrong? its because both nights be prayed as a cast before we started.

perdy in pink

2004-11-01T12:29:00.000-08:00

my waitress uniform for the play is pink! :) im excited. i cant wait to see it :D

hmmm...

2004-10-29T14:33:00.000-07:00

i thought about it and i've decided that i think too much

all that jazz

2004-10-20T09:27:00.000-07:00

i've discovered a few things :) i love jazz music, i loooove swing music/dancing, and i love having friends who like to have fun with me and play the occasional joke on me (haha sarah... wonder who that is??). im discovering that being impatient doesnt help anything so im trying to be less so.... hmm.... i love being loved and i really love loving other people. a good hug can do wonders for anyones day. i know this :) have to go babysit now. love you guys. im so grateful for you all :) im so blessed! God bless you guys!!

i dont get it...

2004-10-13T10:02:00.000-07:00

i was only in one class today because of the psat. BUT i have homework in every class. how does that work??

joyous fun

2004-10-12T10:12:00.000-07:00

PSAT tomorrow

i know im excited

woohoo

mmmm :)

2004-10-09T14:14:00.000-07:00

three day weekends are nice. even nicer when you dont have any homework :)

happy feet

2004-10-04T14:06:00.000-07:00

i am very very happy right now :) im starting to realize what awesome awesome people some of my friends are. a bunch of us girls went to applebee's before the dance on saturday and every single one of them wanted to pray before we ate. even stefanie (swiss exchange student)! it was really really refreshing. even though the dance wasnt anything to shout about, i really enjoyed spending time with those girls. and i actually had several people tell me that i looked cute today even though i literally rolled out of bed this morning and went :) i guess we all love a compliment every once in awhile :) well i best be getting some sleep if i still want to be perky in the morning :D i love you all! God bless!

updates!

2004-09-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

hi! well the play is progressing nicely and as always its been a ton of fun. its spirit week since hmcming is this weekend. it was country day today and i wore my friend criag's cowboy hat the whole time at practice. yeah it was just a little big ;) and i have hat hair as i am typing. tomorrow's hawaiian day so that should be fun. oh and get this; thursday is TOGA DAY. no joke. that should be... um... interesting. i got an A on the chemistry test that i thought i'd bombed. so that was a huge relief. i got my reading glasses today :P and i love them. oh and saturday i could have gotten seriously hurt. i was raising a curtain at set construction. it had a ton of weight on it so when i unlocked it, i went up up and away on the rope. fortunately, craig and a couple other guys were standing nearby and they saw me go up. they all grabbed the rope and i managed to slide down (major rope-burn on my hands). we all had a good laugh and craig had a first-aid kit in his car so i got bandaged up. that was a fun experience lemme tell ya. and i have 2 huge tests tomorrow... woohoo!

WOOT!

shmack!

2004-09-21T12:45:00.000-07:00

yeah powwows...
so i was doing my devotional last night and i really got a smack in the face concerning a few areas of my life. well it stung for a few minutes but it did a ton of good. i am now feeling much, much better about myself and life in general. boy does it feel good. thanks to all of you who've been praying for me and encouraging me. you guys rock!

yeah God :D

...

2004-09-19T13:34:00.000-07:00

im not happy... havent been in awhile... and i dont know why.

pondering...

2004-09-18T09:38:00.000-07:00

i've been thinking... homecomings coming up soon and all of my friends are talking about finding a date or the date they are taking. i just kinda keep quiet when the subject comes up. fact is i've never had a date to a dance ever. i wouldnt say im bitter about it, i just kinda feel that i've missed out on part of the experience, ya know?

well thats all i have to say for right now :)

sleep = good

2004-09-16T10:19:00.000-07:00

its amazing how much a few hours of sleep can make you feel better quick. i stayed home today and i slept till almost noon and i feel soooo much better. yeah i have THE cold that's sweaping the nation. fun fun fun. so yeah since i stayed home i get MORE sleep tonight! yay!!

sigh

2004-09-12T12:57:00.000-07:00

next time you see me give me a hug... i could really use a few

yeah bein 3-0

2004-09-10T16:12:00.000-07:00

the game was awesome yo. it went neck and neck till the last 5 minutes when Northwest was ahead by 4. then we scored a touchdown at about 1 minute to go, and we held them back. it was very sweetyo :D this record hasnt happened for a few years. hopefully we can keep it up!

TGIF!!

2004-09-10T08:49:00.000-07:00

today is one of those days where i can really say thank God it's friday! as i walked out of school this afternoon i breathed a huge sigh of relief. i've only been in school for about 3 weeks, but it feels like 3 months. no offense meant to teachers or aspiring teachers (sarah :D). i love my teachers, im just so worn out already. despite the utter fatigue im going to northwest tonight to cheer on our football team and marching band (more so the band ;D). its amazing. we're 2-0 and they're hopin for another win tonight. it'll be amazing if it happens. i cant remember the last time we were 3-0. well, we'll see what happens. i hope we win but i wont be suprised if we dont :) our marching band rocks everyones socks off. a lot of people come to the football games just to see the halftime show. the band follows in the style of OU. they do high-step and they dance with their songs. now when i say dance, i mean they put down their instruments, shake it like a polariod picture, and a lot of the times get down on the ground. they're "the band that's gettin down and dirty." its awesome :) they have a new show tonight, so thats the main reason im going. plus a ton of my friends and 2 of my cousins are in the band :) it should be an awesome show. what am i saying?! it's ALWAYS an awesome show! :D go panthers! hope you're all having a wonderful friday/weekend :)

this just in

2004-09-07T11:07:00.001-07:00

well drama's back into full swing, and as usual, its an awesome time. today was the first offical practice and even though we were just reading, it was a great time. i dont come in till the 3rd act so i followed along and had a great time laughing with everyone. i am the grand duchess olga katrina.... yes im russian. doing the accent is sooo fun :D
despite all the fun im having in drama, stress has managed to creep in. they say your junior year is your hardest and im beginning to believe it. homework hasnt been too bad but i have all my huge classes now and next trimester. third trimester'll be cake, but you have to eat your spinach before you can have dessert. and let me tell you, the spinach im eatin now isnt very pleasant. the consolation is that i wont have to take any math or science next year if i dont want to. i probably will, but its nice to know that i dont have to.
now that ive bored you with talk of school, the main stress (if stress is the word) is from missing everyone at pvm and pvm itself. i know i sound like a broken record but its true. the seperation is really getting me down. i wish pvm was closer, but unfortunately it isnt. so to all of you pvm people who may read this...
I MISS YOU GUYS AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! KEEP ON SHINING AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!

what? huh?

2004-08-31T09:36:00.000-07:00

im really starting to dislike the lack of communication that seems to be flooding my life. its at school, at home, and even at church. also, i feel like i dont even know some of my friends anymore. some of them bash their parents and badmouth others all the time, and it's really, really starting to bother me. i dont know why i keep my mouth shut about it around them but i do. something needs to change, and soon.

where has the summer gone

2004-08-22T15:47:00.000-07:00

i've been thinking. school starts on wednesday, i have to finish my summer work, and drama will start next week... where did the summer go?? it seems that only yesterday i was running out of those halls with my head high and spirits soaring. i was so excited for summer, and now it's all but gone. i kinda feel like i never even left school. i mean i know that i had an incredible summer, but it's gone by so fast that i feel like it's just been a couple days. it's going to be a big adjustment. getting up at 6:30/7 in the morning, upperclassmen status, the mass amounts of homework, and getting back into the drama scene with practices almost everyday...it should be an interesting week. God willing, it'll all go alright.

YEAH!!!

2004-08-18T14:49:00.000-07:00

YEAH PAUL HAMM!!! HE LITERALLY FELL ON HIS BUTT AND THEN CAME BACK FROM LAST PLACE TO WIN THE MEN'S ALL-AROUND GOLD IN GYMNASTICS!!!! I AM SO PUMPED RIGHT NOW!!!! :D LET'S HEAR IT FOR NOT GIVING UP!!!! YAY!!

After the famous sculptor Thorvaldsen finished his statue of Christ, he invited a friend to view it. The arms of Jesus were outstreched, and his head was bowed between them. The friend said, "I can't see his face." The sculptor replied, "If you would see the face of Christ, you must get on your knees."

(from The One Year: Devotions For Teens by Susie Shellenberger)

ho hum...

2004-08-10T10:29:00.000-07:00

they say time flies when you're having fun...well i guess im having a horrible time because today has gone sooo slow. ever have one of those days where you're just going through and nothing is going on? today is one of those days.

flip flops????

2004-08-09T10:51:00.000-07:00

i just found out that my school is putting a kind of 'ban' on flip flops. you cant wear shoes that 'you cant keep on'. ok what i dont get is why they're worrying about flip flops when there are girls walking around looking like....well lets just say its disgusting. they have never cracked down on these girls and they're concerned with flip flops. OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AROUND! flip flops are the very least of the dress code problem! i live in flip flops during the school year. hopefully it wont be so strict that we arent allowed to wear them. we'll see. if i get pulled into the office, i am not going to be happy.

twinkle twinkle little star...

2004-08-07T14:45:00.000-07:00

lately i've had a facination with the stars. i just want to sit outside and stare at them all night... but lately it's been so cloudy that you can barely see the stars at night. i need to go star gazing before school starts and i barely have the time to breathe let alone watch the stars. it's just a reminder to me of God's power and love. if he cared enough about each and every one of those tiny stars to create them to be sooo beautiful how much more does he care about us?

ok im looking outside now and it's still really cloudy. anyone know a good place to star gaze??
