A Catchy/Fun Song for You to Enjoy!

2 things: pause the music player at the bottom of this page and sadly, for some reason the right part of the video is cut off a bit so you might just click on the video so you can see it on the Youtube page.

My Most Wonderous 18th Birthday!

Awesome things that happened during my birthday:

-My fellow Latin II students attempted to find the Latin version of "Happy Birthday" so they could sing it to me--unfortunately, the attempt failed. They tried, though.

-My Mom took me to open my first checking account.

-My most wonderful sister gave me some egg nog and Halloween peeps! (see some suppercalifragilisticexpialidocious peeps below!)

-My friend Allie came over & gave me a bag of Twix!

-My friend Patti came over & gave me a Sonic blast!

-I received e-cards, e-mails, & comments from friends & family with birthday wishes throughout the day! (& even today, the day after)

-My Dad gave me flowers!

-Relatives sent me presents!

-Mom got me Ben & Jerry's ice cream!

-My family got me a CD player/radio/tape player (with a remote)!

Over all, I just feel blessed!

Thanks, everyone!

What's my beauty element?

I love these little quizzes!

Your Beauty Element is Water

Feminine and dreamy, your beauty style is classic and very vintage. But you never look out of style! You have a way of making classic looks modern again.

My Duct Tape Creations!!!

Here are some wallets I made with duct tape. If you decide that you would like me to make you one [assuming that I know you], I'll make you one for $3 and personalize for you! [Right now, I have the colors black, yellow, bright pink, blue, purple, silver...I think that's it. If you want a color that I don't have at this moment, I'll get it for you if I can find it.]

See the below examples.

I made this wallet for my cousin, Joshua. I was told he liked the color yellow. The star was difficult to cut out but I managed somehow. :)

...and here's the inside view, complete with two pockets for your cards


This one I made for my cousin, Amanda.




I made this wallet for my cousin, Jordan [he loves cars]

E-mail me if you like what you see and would like one along with what you'd like it to look like.

I've made more duct tape things and will post pictures of them later.

Coloring pages

I don't know if any of you guys still like to color. [I love to color--especially if it has lots of little details.] Well, I've found that Disney's website has some great coloring pages. Click here to go to that page.

MY NEW SNEAKERS!!!

I had a wonderful birthday with lots of wonderful gifts!

Just wanted to tell you about something I bought with my birthday money!

I bought myself some beautiful black and white sneakers! YAY! THEY ARE SO COOL! I'm so excited! When I tried them on in Payless I was so ecstatic that I actually started to dance in the store--no lie.

Sometime soon, I'll post some pictures of MY sneakers but here are some pics of some cool sneakers to celebrate!

The Pirates who don't do anything [Legos]

Here's the pirates who don't do anything as sung by Relient K. I LOVE this!

Some cool words...

Creed: statement of essential beliefs

Prolixity: using too many words

Truculent: agressively self-assertive.

Omen: sign or warning for the future

Outlandish: very strange

Boor: rude person [it's so fun to say that someone's "boorish"! LOL]

Back-to-School Western thingy at John's church

I meant to post these sooner but I obviously haven't!

About a week ago, I was invited to this fun thing at John's church. I had a lot of fun. :) I'd like to thank John for inviting me to go, my wonderful parents for allowing me to go, and my wonderful sister (Hannah) who allowed me to borrow her cowboy boots and hat! Thank you, thank you!

John making his grand entrance in his beautiful outfit. LOL

John... [I couldn't stop smiling for the first half hour at least]

John walking away [it was really funny!]

Caleb in jail--poor guy! He'd just arrived!

I'm starting the icon of the day or, rather, the post:

My new haircut!

Got a new hair cut today. Hope you like it but...I really like it so it's lovely!

During the hair-cutting process...

[above:] Before...and after

(we were kind of spoofing the magazines. The before picture always has the person having on no make-up, hair not done, looking like death, and no smile. The after picture always has them make-up on, hair done [of course], and smiling.)

Naturally, I had to have a little photo shoot. LOL
