Mmmmm....



I've had a bunch of good food in this week, so not to make you hungry or anything, but let's relive my favorite food moment...

McCafé Frappé Mocha
Mmmmmm....
Mocha Frappe's from McDonald's are my favorite things in the world. How could you not resist coffee, chocolate, and lots of whipped cream? Wow, I'm getting hungry just looking at it. I'm highly in love with these ;) Ha ha.

15 Things Before 15 Second Update!

Okay, so here's my progress for the last 15 days!
You can see the complete list here.
#3 is to write 15 letter to my pen pals. I've written one more letter, so I now have written 5 in total.
#5 is to write 15 short stories/poems. I wrote 2 more poems, 'Sunrise' and 'Nighttime', for a total of 3.
#6 is to make 15 desserts. I made some chocolate chip cookies which didn't rise, but they tasted good, so I now have made 5 total ;)
#7 is to paint my nails 15 different colors. I've painted them a really light shade of purple, bronze, creamy pink, and ruby red so I now have painted my nails a total of 9 different colors. I think this goal could be completed by the next update. LOL :)
#9 is to meet new people, and so I met 1 more person in my writing class at my homeschool group. I now have met 4 people since my first update!
#10 is to read 15 books of the bible, and so I've read two more. 2 Peter, and James so I now have 4.
#12 is to make 15 bracelets, and I made my first friendship bracelet in a long while. I made a tutorial for them I'll have to post sometime :)

The other goals have tragically not been touched in 15 days. I can't really touch 1 and 2 until my birthday comes and basketball season starts. 4 is kind of hard for me to complete right now as our piano has been acting weird and my guitar is sort of out of tune, but soon I hope to do some of that one. I usually read full books in just a day, but I haven't found any I like recently! Soon goal 8 will hopefully be started :) What's everyone's favorite books? I need some suggestions. I specifically think my favorite type of books is historical fiction, but any stories are good as long as they're interesting. :)
 Finally, I've been to lazy to attempt #13 ;) The others I haven't mention I've started already, but not done anything in the last 15 days with them.

Have a nice night everyone,

What I'm Wearing...

 Okay, so I'm a little over excited with clothing sometimes. Not that it's anything extraordinary to post about or anything, but here's what I'm planning to wear tomorrow :)
 
Okay, so now that you've seen my closet and jewelry for Wednesday, I guess that's all I really need to post for my fill of clothing today. I get thrilled by little things sometime :) ha ha.

Volleyball

Today I watched my homeschool group and my church's school compete in volleyball. I was kind of hoping my homeschool group would win, but they didn't sadly. Oh well. It was enjoyable to watch! There were 2 JV games and 3 Varsity ones. I could NEVER play volleyball myself since my arms would get tired in seconds, but it looks fun to play anyways :) Oh, and I wish I had taken the picture above like most of the picture I post, but that one just seemed to fit the subject so I posted it instead. :) T T Y S!

Today In A Nutshell-

Wow, this has been some day. Weird, crazy, busy, and awesome. Probably one of the best days this year :) Today alone could keep me writing for weeks, but I'll just give you a short idea what happened today and maybe talk about more specific experiences later.
After church and Sunday school we went to a lunch/party after church. Matthew's (my brother's) 11-year-old friend and his siblings were there, and we all started playing table tennis after lunch. His friend instead decided to start throwing ping pong balls at me, and somehow got his 3 other siblings to join in, so I was constantly dodging ping pong balls. It was kind of a weird game, and eventually we started playing basketball with the ping pong balls. I tried to start a game again with his 15-year-old brother, but with Matthew and his friend now throwing balls at me it didn't get very far. :)
Tonight was the first night of Discipleship Group for the youth group at my church. I love this night SO much when it comes around every year, because it's hilarious to watch... basically, our youth pastor gets to place whoever he wants in a bible study with 2 other people, and it's funny because he always mixes oposite personalitied people in the same group. It was hard to hold in my laughter at some combinations. Everyone gets to know each other well by the end of the year, but it's funny at first.
After youth group, my brother and I met some friends at McDonald's to talk and have Frappe's. 'some friends' actually ended up being 35 people from our church. I have NO idea how that many people came when we were planning on 5. The church invaded McDonald's apparently. Ha ha :)
Got to go now, but will write more soon! Bye!

Annoying Shoppes

I've had a weird night, but let's not go into that ;) It's not been too interesting, just kind of weird.
Today I've done quite a lot of things. I played basketball, ate ice cream, listened to music, went swimming, wrote a long story, and cleaned through emails. I also went shopping this morning with my mom. When we were driving into one small shopping center, I noticed something which always drives me insane. It's this sign with the name of the shopping center, but instead of writing it 'shops' they write 'shoppes'. I always hate the formal version of the word shops. It just doesn't seem right! They seem like two totally different words. To me, 'shoppes' should really be pronounced 'shoppys' instead of 'shops'. I know I shouldn't get hung up on that, but I do. You know what else I used to get hung up on? The spelling of 'two', 'too', and 'to'. It doesn't bother be much anymore, but I used to get me annoyed. If I were to go through the list of spellings that annoy me though you'd be reading this all night, so let's leave it at that ;)
Have a fabulous night everyone!
