Next Week...

As you can maybe see above, I was having too much fun with a calculator when I was supposed to be doing math... anyways, hi.
 
  I know it's still Friday, but I'm going to give you an overview of next week for me anyways. It's not super exciting or anything, but I always think it's fun to see what people are up to, and so that's why I'm posting.

     Sunday is going to be extremely busy for me! Sunday school, church, a surprise part/lunch after church, discipleship group, and youth group. Let me explain a little more. The surprise party is for a family who goes to my church and hosts our small group, and so it's sort of like a 'thank you' for them always hosting it. Discipleship group is a teen's bible study program my church started last year. It was really great, so I decided I'd do it again. You're put into a small group of people (generally 2 or 3) and also have an adult leader, and meet for bible studies every Sunday night. After bible study's over we would talk, play games, and even sometimes go out for ice cream at McDonald's! It was lots of fun.
     Monday is school and more school. I also might go to a JV volleyball game since I have some friends competing in it.
     Tuesday is also a school day.
     Wednesday is homeschool group classes at HEAT.
     Thurday is... wait, is that a school day too!?
     Friday is also school! :(
     Saturday is no school, but nothing else. Ha ha, so maybe it's not such an interesting week after all ;) Oh well.

Well, I guess I'm done talking. I don't have anything much more to say, so I' think it's a good time to stop.
Have a F A N T A S T I C week everyone!

Dragon Fruit Flower

These photos are of a Dragon Fruit flower. We have a Dragon Fruit plant in the front of our yard, and when it's ready to produce fruit it blooms a flower like the one above. The flower only opens up one night and wilts by morning, so I was happy I didn't miss my chance to photograph it! I've never had a dragon fruit itself before so I'm wondering if I'll like it when we get one off the plant.
Have a good evening everyone!

Lots Of Random Thoughts

OK- so this is going to be a REALLY random post! Today's random thoughts:

-Francesca Battistelli is coming out with a Christmas Album. So exited about that!

-Next week I have my first debate. Up until now we've basically been doing a lot of research, but now we'll start actually competing.

-I found out that on my birthday I'll be playing against CCS in basketball! CCS is my church's school. That will be weird since I know nearly everyone on CCS's team, but will be competing against them instead of working with them.

-Today I took a Biology test and I actually got 100%! That was shocking, as I thought I would completely fail it.

-I've not painted my nails in a whole 5 days. That's sort of a long time for me.

-I realized that I do something weird. You know those 'fruit on the bottom' yogurts? Well instead of mixing it all together, I eat all the yogurt on top first and then eat the fruit. 

-I am thrilled, because my typing speed is now 100 wpm! That's when I've just had a lot of sugar... when I'm not so sugary, my time is 90wpm.

-I listened to the Britt Nicole song 'Amazing Life' about 12 times in a row today. I get songs stuck in my head all the time. I tell myself the best way to get songs un-stuck is to listen to them more, but instead I found myself singing it when I was supposed to be doing math :)

-I've been wanting to wear a scarf forever, but it's been so hot outside! I finally decided I would just wear one today :)

Well, I guess that's all my randomness. Have a nice night,

Goodnight, And Nothing Else.

Can't really post anything tonight, but to keep of with my goal of posting every day I'll at least post this: 

Ha ha. Maybe not much of a post, but at least something ;)

G'night,

Brooke

Gold

 If you can't tell, I'm SUPER exited right now. Just got Britt Nicole's CD 'Gold', and am listening to it as I write. Since I absolutely LOVE Britt Nicole, I am happy to finally own her newest CD :)
Favorite Lyrics: All This Time
Favorite Music: Ready or Not
Favorite Overall Song: Gold
All of my favorites will probably change soon since I like all the music so much! :) It's SO hard to pick my favorites!
TTYL,
Brooke

Lots of Pillows

I don't have much time to think of what to post today, so instead I am posting lots of pink, purple, and teal pillows. I know that has nothing to do with anything, but they're all really colorful and I like them. So, I decided they were good enough for a short post. Which one's your favorite? Mine is the 3rd one on top. It's really pink, and really frilly, and really fluffy. What could be better? ;) 

Sweet Dreams,

Brooke

In Between Seasons

Seriously, whoa. September crept up on me more than ever before. I still had my head stuck in summer... but what's September? School's in September so it's not my summer, but it's not quite fall either since it's still hot outside. So what is it? To me it's a month stuck in between seasons. It comes and goes like it never was there. That's how I see September. So what does this September 1st look like?

 The grass was freshly cut outside... I love the smell of it

 

The sky was still big and blue

Our Bird of Paradise seemed happy

 Then I found these scary huge mushrooms that had apparently been mowed over, and were now invading the edge of the driveway. They're kind of gross.

 There's one plant in our yard, covered in Caterpillars. At least 100 would be my guess, and I'm hoping they'll just turn into butterflies soon, since they've been there for a few weeks already! They've been deciding to cross the driveway several times a day. We should seriously consider putting up signs for caterpillar crossing... one almost got smushed by a basketball the other day... oops...

So that's September in my backyard. 

Have a day full of sunshine,

-Brooke
