a day at the mall

Howdy!!
Yesterday was fun. The first 1/2 of the day I cleaned my room (it's still not finished).
The last 1/2 of the day I went to the mall with some friends.

We got tickets for the movie we were gonna see- Daddy's Little Girls [which is a pretty cute show]. Then we wondered around. Ya see, the show that was going at the moment started at 2:15 and it was about 2:40, so we got tickets for the 4:45 showing.

Anyway, we got food and went shoe shopping. Kayla needed some new ones pretty bad, the ones she had were dying!! The first place we went to didn't have her size in the shoes she wanted. So we went to some other places. We also looked at clothes. Madison got a cute outfit, the shorts were pretty short, but they were cute.

I wish I had a job. They had some really cute shirts & stuff at 579 and Maurice's. All well.

We finally went to Payless and Kayla found some shoes she liked. Madison got some shoes that would go with her outfit. I got some orange AE flip-flops.

The movie was about to start, so we went to the area where the theater is.

After the movie we went and got some ice cream. Madison had gotten a shake before the movie, and while she was trying on clothes. . Kayla and I ate almost all of it! I kept telling Kayla to take it away from me, then she's eat some and tell me to keep it away from her, and so on. I felt so bad.

Back to after the movie. We were sitting there eating, and Kayla was talking to Chris over text. She had asked him what he was doing. She told us that she betted that the next thing he would say was "not much."

Maddi asked her what she would bet. Madison told Kayla that if Kayla was wrong, then she'd have to go over to these guys (that were sitting on a near-ish table to the one we were sitting at) and tell them that she wanted thier bodies.

Kayla didn't want to.

Eventually we got to the point where if he said "not much" Maddi would have to say that to them, if not. . I did. (Kayla's a chicken!!)

He wrote back and -lucky for me- said "not much." Maddi got up and walked over to them.
She said "Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I want your body," then walked back over to our table.

We started laughing so hard. She said that they weren't that cute.

Maddi asked what they were doing now, so Kayla started to kinda commentate what they were doing. . "They're getting up. . they're walking away. . .now they're coming back this way. . .now they're sitting back down. . .now they're walking back this way. . ."

They walked past us and stood in line for the movies- which just so happened to be right next to our table. Madison tried to hide her face.

Maddi dared me to go past them and say "hey cutie!" when we were going to get up and go. I didn't.

We had fun with the whole dare-thing. It was a hoot.

After that, we went and got pictures taken. They looked so bad. All three of us squished into the booth and squirmed around so we'd all fit. Some people walking by kinda stared.



That's only part of what happened..when we got back home we decided to walk around the block. A bunch of Mexican started clearing thier throats. .Kayla and Maddi turned around, and they stopped. They turned around again, and they did it again (the coughing). They turned around and waved at them.

We decided to go around the block again after we got some jackets (it was getting cold).

When we got back to that area again, some guys in a truck yelled out the window at us, saying something in Spanish. Kayla yelled back "English." The guy said "What?" Kayla got kinda nervous and told him that she only understands English. He asked what her name was. She kinda giggled and kept going. So they drove off.

It was funny. We had fun.
Maddi was sayin' that she loves our little click at school.
We're the ones that are kinda friends with just about all the other clicks in some way. We're kinda goofy. But it's great being who we are. . !

P.S. The Ballet we saw was Giselle. . .Terrin was way off.

LoveSac

If you have a LoveSac, and haven't read the warning label. . you'd have to! It cracks me up!


WARNING: Improper use of this product may cause in jury or death.
Do not jump on the LoveSac-projecting oneself through open space is inherently dangerous- may cause in jury or death.

Isn't it soo funny?! Those LoveSac blokes are weird. Maybe that's why I think it's so funny, I'm kinda strange, too! (You'd know what I'm talking about if you know me!)

ThE WeeK oF fRidaY tHe thiRteEntH

This week has been one of those weeks where everything seems to be going wrong.
I don't have weeks like that very often. Or days for that matter. It's pretty sad. . the only day that I've [so far] had a good day, funny as it is, is today. Friday the thirteenth (FTT)! Hah!!

(Oh, if you exclude being to school at 6 this morning, it was an awsome day. Alittle boring, but I'm not down-in-the-dumps today.)

Most people think that FTT is a bad day, when you should stay inside, or not go out at night, or you'll have bad luck or something. I guess that I'm just different.

My friend has been haveing a great FTT. She says thaat it started at, I think she said, one in the morning. Ya see, she's been having fights with her bf (now her ex). I guess that he's decided that he doesn't want to talk to her anymore -except for over texts. Something about he's always worrying if he's gonna say something to offend her or something. I dunno.

My bad days were Wednesday and Thursday. The two days before. I don't think that FTT is that big of a thing --I guess that it doesn't help that I haven't seen that movie. But then, I don't think clowns are scary, and I've seen It. Maybe you have to be a wee lad or lassy to have that happen, huh?

First my math teacher wasn't there (and I was even on time today!!!

>:( ); my hair would do what I wanted it to do; I got to school on time (even if it was 6 itm); I got to talk to 'a certain somebody' ;); it's sunny outside, not raining or snowing, like they were saying it was supposed to. See, pretty good, right?

I'm so glad that I'm having a good day, though. I don't want to be a grouch all the time. People that are always grumpy drag me down. It's kinda depressing.

What I hate are those days where you're fine, then one stupid thing happens, and suddenly, you're whole day has sucked!

I'm going with a friend to the Ballet. . I don't know what show, though. She doesn't know either. It starts with an "S." I do know it's Ballet West, so it should be ok.

Well, I hope that ya'll have had a cheery disposition today, too!

My Creative Corner

This last week I made some brownies for my friend for her birthday.
The title on the recipe says Texas Sheet Cake or Brownies.
I left out the sour cream. I thought that sounded weird, and a little gross.
Texas Sheet Cake or Brownies
2 c sugar
2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 cubes butter (1/2 lb.)
1 c water
4 tblsp cocoa
1/2 c sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp soda

In large bowl put sugar, flour and salt. In small heavy pan bring butter, water, and cocoa to boil, take from heat and add immediately to dry ingredients. Add sour cream, eggs and soda. Mix well. Batter will be very thin, pour into greased and floured 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 inch pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees. Do not overbake -----ice while warm.
If you want brownies, use 2 cookie sheets.

Cocoa Nut Frosting
1 c nuts
1 box powdered sugar (I'm guessing about a lb. ?)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cube butter (1/4 lb.)
6 tblsp milk
4 tblsp cocoa

Boil milk, butter, cocoa until bubbly. Mix in nuts, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth, spread over warm cake.
Serves 12-15 or if brownies 24-30.
* Make sure you don't burn it!!!

**I just used cream cheese frosting. It tasted pretty good.**

My friend liked it, she said it has a texture that's kind of a mix between cake and brownies. If you decide to try it out, lemme know what you thought of it. :D





HavE a spLenDid EAsteR

HAPPY EASTER 2 ALL!!

I hope that everyone has enjoyed yet another easter!
I love easter...it really says spring to me.
I love all the cute little baby bunnies and such.
Then there's the great, big bunny. You'd think that a huge rabbit would scare the crap outta the wee kids, but they look forward to the big guy. . he's like the less popular version of the big, red-clad, soot-covered elf. (ho ho ho)

I've got this card, I think it's pretty cute. One the front cover it has a little kid saying, "Santa says he's gonna find out who's naughty and nice. I like the Easter Bunny better." On the inside: "He doesn't make any moral judgments. Merry Christmas." So it kinda ties in with the whole Easter thing, right?

I'm sure a ton of people went to church today. . it's one of the, like, two days in the year that a lot of people might go to church: Christmas & Easter.
Nice. So people are ok with celebrating the birth of Christ and the death of Christ.
In a way, it's kinda ironic. .in a strange sorta way.

Today I learned about these Easter cookies. They're interesting. They really tie into Easter, with how they cook and everything. Each ingredient has a special meaning. I might get the recipe from one of the leaders. I'll have to try it.

~wHaT a DaY~

Hello dearest readers and fellow bloggers!!

Today was a great day (if you exclude my first class of the day, and my last class was kinda bore-ish too, hmm). It was fun, exciting, and within itself a blast. . if you can call school a blast. I have felt energetic and happy and like the world doesn't hate me (I hate the days where you feel like crap)!!! It's great!

I'm on the very lovely, very sought to, and (of course) the very delectable SPRING BREAK!! My teach was trying to figure out a way to say it without saying spring, or something to do with Christ. She came up with something like 'bunny day' or something. Yes, it's extremely creative on her part. Let's all start calling St. Patty's Day "Shamrock Day" or something, I'm sure everyone will know that one. There are endless posabilities of saying holidays in new, "creative" ways, I'm sure. . but let's not bore you with that.





I'm thinking about applying for a job. I'm thinking DQ, WD, or something. There is one thing.. it has to be close! I'm not gonna get another job where I only work one day a week, and you have to drive 1/2 a freakin' hour to get there. Anyway, I think it would be fun to work at an ice cream place! Whatdya think? I do have my food handler's permit, I might as well get some use out of it.


About my profile, it probably sounds like I'm, like, in love with chick-flicks or something. I am here to tell you, not so. I actually don't watch chick-flicks that much. Some of them are kinda good though!

65 Eyeliner is one of my lifesavers. Without it, I look out of it, and wierd.
66 I'm never good with first impressions. If I think someones a total jerk from meeting them for 5 seconds, I usually end up liking them later.
67 I don't exactly believe in love-at-first-sight. I do believe in huge crushes that make you think you are in love with that person, but you could be wrong.

78 I love to add my own personal touch to things like bags, clothes, cds, etc.
79 I'm a pretty good dessert chef (cake, cookies, pie, etc.) if I do say so myself. I've still got a lot to learn, though.
80 I like the weird words like onomonopia and innuendo. They're so fun to say!
81 I have "words of the month" that I'll use all the time for a week or so. 'Month' in this case doesn't mean a period of 30 or 31 days. It's X amount of days that I don't always stick to. :D
82 My first name means either 'great' or 'pearl'.
83 My middle name means 'ruler of the people'. . heh, I'm getting better at public speaking, still not the best.
84 My last name means 'grows green' or 'a grove of alder trees'.
85 I don't like anchovies, cooked mushrooms, pineapple on pizza, really really spicy food, food that is so greasy that it coats your mouth and throat, and a few other things.

89 My favorite books of the moment: An Accquaintance With Darkness by Ann Rinaldi and The Dark Garden by Margaret Buffie.
90 One of my favorite classes this year was social dance.
91 I took highland dance classes for about a year, then I hurt my ankle and quit. I learned 3 dances, but only remember 2 of them.
92 Last year one of my bestest buddies and I would draw notes to each other. They were like comic book pages, only the characters said what we wanted to say to the other person. I miss that, it was awsome. Some people would stare, or ask what the heck we were doin'. We just told them it was a note. They thought that was cool.
93 At times, I wish life were more like the movies.
94 I'm not a narcissist, or very self-centered.
95 Sometimes I feel so small next to people that have done so much and accomplished so much. Sometimes I think that I haven't done anything worth while, and I hate it.
96 I try to see things from more than one (my) point of view, but sometimes it's impossible!
97 I loathe people that seem perfect.
98 Halloween is (probably) my favorite holiday.
99 I'm still kinda scared of Dracula's Castle. It's very sad.
100 I hate when other people expect you to be perfect.
101 I hate wearing wet clothes, especially jeans.


Wow!! I actually (finally) came up with the list about me! Huh. . I hope I didn't repeat anything. ; )


_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_-~*~-_
