Jobs!

I feel like I have done a million posts about this, but today I went and turned in another few applications for a job! I am feeling pressured to find a job now since summer is close, and I need to save for California! I am so tired of looking for a job and filling out applications, and I am praying that this is the last time for a while I'll have to do it! This time I applied at a bunch of day cares close to my house, and I would absolutely LOVE a job at any of them. I feel like I have applied everywhere and so has everyone else my age! Everyone always tells me I am dumb for quitting my job at Justice since I can't find another job now, but I do not feel dumb about doing that at all, and hopefully all of this will pay off and I'll get a job that I really like and can actually get hours! And I know I can always go back to Justice after I turn 18 if I need to! On another note, today I came home from the gym around 12:30 and everything in my neighborhood was fine. I went back out just before 2, and there were about 7 cop cars parked in front of a house about 4 doors down from me! They had the man that lives in the house outside with his hands behind his head and a gun pointed at him! I have never seen anything that crazy before! Boise, Idaho is turning dangerous haha! I have no idea what was happening but the cop cars were there for a while and it looked like they were searching his house and car! I want to know what happened there so bad, and it was so crazy to see all of that!

Cardio Intervals

Every Monday and Friday that I am not at school, I go to this class at the gym called cardio intervals and every time I go I feel like I want to die! It's one of those things where you love it but absolutely hate it at the same time! This time it was a timed circuit and each time you had to try to beat your previous one. It was a bag push back and forth across the room, followed by 40 tricep dips, 10 push ups with your feet on a bench, running with 35 kettle bells in each hand, 10 box jumps, 20 crab kicks, and a crab walk! So we did this 3 times and had to beat our time! In between each set we did 2 min treadmill sprints, crazy walking planks, and a TON of abs! I felt like I wanted to die after all of that, but I am very proud that I beat my time every set and finished a a time of 1 min and 35 sec! It's actually really cool doing a class like this because the 1st few times i did this class, I was sick after I worked out so hard and now I can keep going harder and harder! I really is nice to be able to see yourself progress like this!

Slacking

Lately I have been slacking a lot on my blog! I have fallen behind on my pictures, and have been really unmotivated to write it! I need to step up my game again, but its getting really hard to want to keep going. I don't know what my deal! Maybe its just because my "senioritis" has kicked into this too or what! Hopefully I find someway to become motivated again and get back into the habit of doing a post each night and not just once every few days! It's spring break for us here so maybe I'll be able to catch up on all my pictures and get completely back on track!

Jumpin!

I went to Jump Time again tonight and it was a blast! Me and Shelley met up with our friends Sean, Lucas and Riley and hung out there for a couple hours! It's so fun just to jump around, play doge ball and play in the little jumpy castles. Even though I am too uncoordinated to do any tricks or anything else awesome, it is still so cool to watch what everyone else can do. Jump Time has kind of been taken over by middle school whores now though! It surprises me what some of these girls dress like there! And even though me and Shelley got picked up and thrown by the guys we went with, ganged up on in dodge ball it was still a really fun night!

Baseball!

Tonight and Angelina went to a baseball game against Eagle, but it almost wasn't worth going since we almost froze! It was so cold and wet out, but we couldn't leave early since it was a pretty close game! We were tied in the last inning but Mountain View came out on top! It was a lot of fun getting to go with Angelina since I haven't got to hang out with her in a while, and I met a few new really nice people too! It was so funny sitting with all of them, since they go to Mountain View's base ball games all the time, they don't know the guys by their numbers but by their butts! We had a pretty fantastic time minus being cold and wet, and I can't wait to go to another game!

Annoying

If anyone wants a free dog, I will gladly give you my beagle Maggie. She is probably the most annoying thing ever. Twice this month she has dug through my purse and eaten a almost full pack of gum. She barks at everything, and "special hugs" everything (use your imagination for what that means). If you are down stairs in this house she is probably trying to lay on top of you, or stand right under your feet. If anyone wants this dog I would gladly give her to you!

Sleep Over!

Since I was home by myself, Shelley came to spend the night and keep me company! We didn't have too exciting of a night we went to Pita Pit for dinner, and just hung around my house. We ended the night watching The Hot Chick. Which is pretty freaking hilarious! It's one of those movies that is so dumb, but you can't stop laughing at it. It had surprisingly a lot of famous people in it too, like Rachel McAdams, Adam Sandler, Rob Schnider, and a lot more random people! I am now in love with that movie, and I think everyone should watch and see how funny it is.

Prom

So today to pass the time, I went to the mall and while I was there I looked at a few prom dresses. Prom is still pretty far away but I decided just to have a look. There are so many pretty dresses out there that I got to look at so hopefully I'll be going to prom this year since it is my senior prom! It kind of amazed me how revealing most of the dresses are now! They were all completely back and side less. I really liked the way the backless dresses look, but it seems like that's hard to find and all the dresses now completely show your ribs too. So hopefully when I go dress shopping for real, I'll be able to find one that I'm not completely popping out of!

Danielle!

Tonight me and Danielle Skyped for like 2 hours! For some reason every time we skype we end up staying on there for forever and entertain ourselves in the weirdest ways. We send each other weird smiley faces that skype has, we send each other videos, send pictures, talk about people we see on facebook and send each other their links. I love talking to her on the web cam and I really do miss her! I cannot wait to visit this summer. Today is also the last day I'll have some company at home, my sister and Danny, and my dad left yesterday and my mom is going out of town tomorrow so I went out and stocked up on fruit and salad to eat this week, and hopefully I wont be too scared being home alone and not think of Paranormal Activity too much!

Lent!

So when lent started I decided to give up Facebook, but I had no idea how hard it would really be. I was so surprised how much I missed it! I felt out of the loop about everything and so today I gave in and got on Facebook! Really I am not upset I didn't last the 40 days at all because 2 weeks seemed long enough! It made it a little hard to be motivated to do my blog too, so hopefully I'll be back to doing one post a day and not like 3 every few days! It was a little hard to post while Cheryl and Danny were in town too so hopefully this week everything goes back to normal again!

Last Day!

Today was Cheryl and Danny's last full day in Idaho, which is a big bummer and this week went way too fast. For the last day me and Cheryl explored downtown a little bit and I showed her around Boise State a little bit too! We ended the night with a delicious dinner my mom made and a little family game night! We played life and Mexican train domino's. To celebrate the time we all had together we all had a little dessert too, we all picked out something so total we had a brownie, milk shake, chocolate fruit cups, cafe chocolate cups, and it was a great way to end their trip here!

Hot Springs!

My family took a trip up to the hot springs which are just out side of McCall today! It was a pretty interesting experience getting there since the car was filled with people, me and Danny get motion sick in the car, my dad is quite possibly the scariest driver ever, and Danny had the flu! Pretty much the whole way up there me and Danny were feeling pretty bad since my dad likes to jerk around corners, ride peoples butts, and go as fast as he can on curves. It was a pretty bad trip up there for us! Once we got up there I didn't feel too bad, but Danny was still suffering from the flu! The hot springs up there are so nice and its weird to be swimming and feel too hot when there is snow all around you! We drove up and brought a picnik lunch and had a great time!

Camel's Back

Every time someone comes to visit us, we take a trip to camel's back park. This huge sandy hill is so tiring to go up, and it gets incredibly steep as you get towards the top. I am very impressed with my sister since the first time she went up it she pretty much had to lie on the ground when she got to the top, and this time she ran up it! She showed Camel's back whose boss!

Mac!

Since Cheryl is in town we get to play on her Mac. Mac Books have to be the most fun things ever invented! We sat there for a long time cracking up at the pictures we were taking of ourselves. After all the fun on the Mac we all went to the gym (except Danny who is sick with the flu!). Its so funny to me that we are so into working out and fitness that even on vacation we will all still going to the gym. After working out, I was still bad and made us all chocolate chip cookies, and unlike last night they actually turned out delicious! I guess we will never know what I did to make yesterday's so darn bad!





Cookies!

Danny decided that he wanted some cookies, so since I love to bake and make cookies I made him some! Usually I am a pretty fantastic cookie maker, but for some reason something went really wrong. I don't know if I wasn't paying attention or missed an ingredient but they cam out all weird shaped and a nasty color! I didn't think cookie could turn out that gross looking... until we accidently left a batch in for a little too long, and they were burnt, weird shaped, and a even grosser color! So sorry to Danny, who didn't get his cookies tonight!

Family Time Holllaa!

Today my sister and Danny came into town! It's always a lot of fun while they are here and I love when they come visit! We played Little Big Planet, went out for a little bit and just got to hang out! Unfortunately while they are here, I'll be spending most of my time at school, but I do get to skip Friday so it works out for me! I know this week will be lots of fun while they are here, but I sure hope it goes by slow!

Power Point

There is absolutely nothing more frustrating then having your computer die on you. It is even worse when it dies when you are almost done with a project! I was typing my senior project power point, and in the 2nd to last section my computer just freezes. So I had to completely retype my whole power point which is due tomorrow. I think this was a little lesson for me not to procrastinate! Luckily I was able to get it done in time!

Monday!

This has probably been the most laid back weekend ever for me. I feel like I have been really unproductive but that it okay with me! It's funny I am never really excited for my weekends to end but since Cheryl and Danny are coming tomorrow, I couldn't be more excited! Last time I saw them was over the summer when I visited for a few weeks! So really I haven't seen them since early July and I am so excited for them to come tomorrow! I will be a fun week with them here since we will get to go up to the hot springs and do all kinds of other fun things too!

Blogging

When I decided to start doing this blog, I really had no idea how challenging it would be. It surprises me how hard it really is to write about each day and make it interesting. There are days where I honestly don't do too much and that's what makes it hard. Usually I have a schedule I follow throughout the week, so it's hard to write about something new when during the week I go to school, come home, do homework, go to the gym, and get ready for the next day. It is also a little hard to stay motivated to post everyday, no matter what I have done. I feel like days like today It would have been very easy to skip butI am really glad I have started this blog because it is a challenge for me, and I am still very impressed with myself that I have kept it going!

Graduation

Today we got our caps and gowns for graduation! It finally feels real that we are graduating soon! In just over two months I will be done with high school for forever and that is just so crazy to me! I honestly don't know if I will be one of those people who cries and gets emotional that high school is over, because I am really excited for the next phase of my life and I am ready to be done with high school! I really can't wait for graduation day, I am so excited to finally be done and experience something new!

Lent

Lent started today and so the thing I am giving up is Facebook! I am so incredibly addicted to Facebook its bad. I check it after school, I get on it at night, I constantly check it on my phone too so this will be a hard one for me! Giving up Facebook also means I can't really post this blog on anything so hopefully y'all still find a way to read it! Today me and Shelley also got our nails done! I haven't had my nails done probably since before sophomore year when my sister got married, and so we both treated ourselves to some fake nails. We both got the colored tips, mine are purple and hers are blue! And they are extremely cute, and well worth the $40 we spent!

Day 30

"If you start making the right choices..you'd be surprised how addicting high self-esteem is."
Instead of a normal post of what happened in my day, I'm just leaving this quote. I read it earlier today and for some reason it has just kind of stuck with me!

Today ends my 30 day challenge! I actually will miss it a little bit. I feel like I got very used to having it there to add length to this blog that I'll have to adjust a little bit to not having it anymore!
Day 30 - A picture of someone you miss.
I can't narrow this down to just one since I miss like all my friends from Texas, Nadia, Danielle, Paige, Brooke and Amber! I am so excited to see all of y'all this summer! :)

Baby Mason!

Today after school I got to go see Chelsea and Dave's new little baby boy Mason, and he is such an adorable little baby! Mason was born on March 1st, so he is only about a week old! It's funny that is actually is a little scary for me to hold a new born baby, I feel like they are so fragile and that I am going to break them! Mason is extremely cute though, and has the most adorable little old man grumpy face! I am so happy for Chelsea and Dave and I know that they will be great parents!



 Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile
Someone tagged me and Shelley in this picture, and it is honestly the funniest thing ever! It really looks just like us!

Down Town

Since my mom's friend Heather came into town last night, today we spent the day showing her down town Boise. We walked around the shops, stopped for coffee, saw the city hall, tried on some prom dresses and climbed up camel's back! It was so nice outside today, it was sunny and 50 degrees so it was a perfect day to walk around! We ended our night going out for some sushi too so today was an excellent day!




Day 28 - A picture of something you’re afraid of
Demons and all that Paranormal Activity crap... It scares me to death! It's sad that I was almost scared to google a picture of it, and post it on here! Ever since I saw that movie I have been so scared of it!

Nadia

Today I got up a little bit earlier to go to this private work out class. It's taught by a girl named Jamie, who is probably in the best shape out of any one I have ever seen, so this class is pretty hard. It worked out my arms and shoulders so much that they were literally shaking during the workout. Later in the night I babysat my dad's friend from works daughter; Nadia. I am pretty sure I have talked out her before as being the smartest kid ever, while she still continues to blow me away with how smart she really is! She is only 9, but she takes music lessons, is learning Latin and Spanish, she plays chess, and has a bigger vocabulary than I do! Every time I baby sit her, I feel like I learn something new! We usually start off the night playing some kind of game, and tonight it was would you rather, but that didn't last long. We always end up just talking the entire time I'm there, well she does a lot of the talking and I listen. She has the most amazing memory when it comes to movies quotes too! She can pretty much recite a whole movie to me, and so tonight we spent a while quoting Despicable Me. I love babysitting her, and even though we don't do much we always have lots of fun!

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member.

Early Release!

For some reason that I'm not really sure of, today was a half day at school! Which means for me, I was done at 10:55! If only every day could be that short at school, because it was very productive for me getting home that early! I really am ready to completely relax this weekend! Even though I finished my senior project, I still had the stress of doing turnitin.com, and actually getting it graded, but I am proud to say that I passed by over 10 points, and only got 16% back on turnitin.com! It feels so good to finally be completely done, and a million pound weight has been lifted off of my shoulders!  
Day 26 - A picture of something that means a lot to you
I picked a picture of my family, it's so rare for us all to be together at once! This was taken in Vegas for my brothers wedding. Since Cheryl, Danny, Kevin and Courtney all live in Texas, and my grandparents live in Scotland, its always pretty great when we all get to see each other!

Disneyland!

It's official that for me senior trip that me, my family and Shelley are going to California! I have never been to any Disney park before or California so that's what I chose! Even  though June 2nd is still pretty far away, I couldn't be more excited! I am so tired of cold weather, not being able to wear shorts and being as white as I am! So summer can't come fast enough! Every summer I say my goal is to become tan, but that never quite works out for me! I get one bad burn every summer  then I stay white! So hopefully California this summer will help me look a little less like a ghost!



Day 25 - A picture of your day.
Disneyland here we come! :)

Interviews

Today was a pretty busy day for me! I had two job interviews today, one at Pac Sun and the other a tcby. I feel like I have applied literally every where, and I would take almost any job right now! So hopefully one of these leads to something! Or if anyone knows of somewhere hiring, I would gladly take one anywhere! I really hope one of these works out, I am a little tired of not being able to find a job!

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book
Harry Potter! I love all the Harry Potter books, I know that's pretty nerdy but I do!

Mac Time!

Today after school I headed over to Shelley's house with the plan of starting on out new music video, but we got a little distracted with her new mac! Mac computers are probably the funnest things to play with ever, they have so many fun things to look at! We took videos, skyped, a played with the photo booth. The movie maker has so many features on it that we can't wait to start a new video! When you play on a Mac you always have to take pictures, and we were both cracking up at the ones we took today!





Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.
Running! I can not run to save my life but I wish I could , really my dumb tumor knee is the main reason I cant but I really wish I could!
