Snoring Lions

My morning started out dramatic. There is a lion at Big Cat Rescue named Nikita. She hasn't been feeling good since yesterday. I just happened to wake up around 6am and checked Facebook. Instead of going back to sleep I ended up watching Nikita take a trip to the on site Cat hospital. She hasn't seen the vets since she arrived as a young cub after her rescue. Nikita is 18 years old, so it's been quite a while. She has been healthy enough up until now that she had no reason to see any vets at the on site hospital. She was checked from head to paws and she had X-rays done. They gave her an ultrasound too, and checked her teeth. Nikita has an abscess in one of her teeth. She has gone back home to her enclosure by now. I can't wait to see how she is doing later. 

The best part was when she scared the keepers and vets with her snoring when she was sedated. It sounded absolutely terrifying, and hilarious at the same time. Have you ever heard a snoring lion? I sure haven't until today. After Dr. Boorstein said it was safe, then they moved her out of her enclosure and to the on site cat hospital. I will post a video below if there is one available later. 

I did end up getting another hour of sleep somewhere between 6 and 10pm. I was pretty tired today though. 

I got a nap in after church. We were given chocolate by the men for Mother's Day. I'm still in a singles ward, but it's nice to be appreciated anyway. 

Mom made home made chicken, rice and broccoli bowls. You know, kind of like the ones you can get at Panda Express, only she did it from scratch. I also had a sweet potato. Dinner was awesome. 

I've been on Roblox today playing a game called Lab Experiment. I joined Roblox 2 years ago after I quit blogging for a long time, so I will have to explain that a bit. Not today though. I've written enough. 

Happy Mother's Day to everyone. I hope you all had a great day today. 

New blog design coming soon. 

October Recap 2/2

Here we go again! Happy Halloween! Today was pretty fun actually. We had exam toay in French and I've been going to the tutor lately, so I feel like this exam for Chapter 3 has been way easier. I am hoping I can keep the habit of seeing the French tutor up. I have been doing an hour every week. Sadly, that is all we are allowed to do, only an hour each a week with the tutor because he is the only French tutor.

I got to wear my rainbow sock monkey costume to school Today and that was fun. I didn't get to sample at work today, but honestly I don't care. I'm probably going to complain about my work experience soon. I am still having a really hard time with the sample shift. I feel like I've been shoved off onto the side. I feel like I am in the way. Hopefully I can find a way to turn things around, but I think I'm going to quit soon.

tonight my ward had a party at the bishop's second house. His second house is really nice. I went to the store on my way back from school and the mall. I got some drinks for the party we had. I got Squirt, A&W cream soda, Root Beer and Pomegranate 7UP. No one ever brings drinks to church parties, or they don't bring enough. I made sure to have fun with my selection. There were cookies and chips there as well. I loved the ranch dip we had for the chips. Part of me wishes I had brought more salty snacks, but I've probably spent enough. We played pool, watched stuff on the TV and just hung out with each other. A lot of people from the ward came, it was pretty fun. I got a little worn out and fell asleep at some point. I wasn't asleep for very long though.

I opted out of traditional candy this year and just got some chocolates from See's Candies today. I think I'm just going to do that every year, but who knows. I might change my mind later. Ohe thing I'm excited for though when it comes to candy is the caramel M&Ms. I saw those are going to be a thing soon! They are apparently joining the ranks of the permanent flavors.

Yesterday we had Stake Conference and the church was packed with people yet again. So much that people had to sit in the halls! I loved that, it shows we are serious about wanting to grow spiritually. 

Anyway, here are some pictures of the fall leaves I took a few days ago. The fall colors have been fantastic this year!

This month for some reason I've been wanting to wear my glasses a lot more. I even wore them at work one of the times I went this month. the one time I wore my glasses however to work was the one time I got burned! It was pretty sad and I won't be trying that again. I think it's for the best if I just keep them off when I am there.

I still want to get new glasses and I've even picked them out! Judy at Voational Rehab is going to help me get some new ones soon hopefully! Here is a couple of pictures of me after work when i got a Tropical Blast Chillata from work.

So remember those colorful shoes I got a month ago? I decided I didn't want them. I have given them to Plato's Closet. It's a discount store you can give brand name and trending stuff to and they will give you money. You can buy other people's stuff discounted of course. I only got $7 for them, but honestly I don't care. They take 60% off of the price and give you a portion of the remaining price when you sell. Something like that. I might be a little off. Anyway, I've been wearing my Asics brand shoes that I originally got for running but haven't used much up until now. I am a lot more comfortable wearing those ones.

I was at a hobby shop on that day looking for Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Plato's Closet is right next door, so after I found out where the cards are for some future date when I'm going to buy some I visited. That was when I realized I could sell my high top shoes and I went home and got them. I hope whoever bought them from the store likes them more than I did. Whoever got them was lucky because like I said before, they took 60% off of the original price.

Anyway, I've been wanting to try out more brands of artisan water. Some people think all water is the same and I know better. Some bottled water and even tap waater is more acidic and some is more alkaline. You want the alkaline stuff, it is better for you. Here is a cool video.

I recal buying Fiji water sometime this month along with some ice cream.

I seem to be going out for treats a lot when I have hard homework. We have started the beginnings of major paper 5 in English. I was going to do my research paper on agoraphobia, but that is hard to research right now because it si no longer considered to be part of panic disorder. The DSM-V has reclassified it as a stand alone disorder and phobia. I am doing my research paper on Depression and Anxiety instead. We have been doing out annotated bibliographies and research proposals. I hate English homework, but I am getting better at writing stuff like that for sure.

Oh Canada

Mom was cleaning out the coat closet when she found this awesome hoodie. I fell in love with it and I've been wearing it all day. It's been pretty boring today. The only interesting part of the day didn't happen until around 7pm.

There was a church activity where we had dinner from Zupas, did a getting to know you activity, and talked about the Book of Mormon. We also started reading it together and got new books. Here is a picture of the dinner. I chose the strawberry raspberry salad with raspberry vinaigrette, potato chips, a ham sandwich and a chocolate strawberry (not pictured).



I got a separate picture of the chocolate strawberries.



There were things all over the walls that had our baby picture and 5 facts about us on them. For the getting to know you activity we took turns standing in front our info and we had people that asked us about ourselves. We rotated and did one wall at a time. I was the first wall and got to rotate through 3 different people and learned about other people later when I visited their walls. It was a little hard to talk so much, but I got through it!

The rest of the day before this isn't really important. I did play a lot of trivia crack though!

Christmas Shenanigans

Merry Christmas everyone! Or Merry Individually Designated Holiday!

I suppose I should start with Christmas Eve. No need for me to over explain it. We all woke up to surprise snow! This was the first official snow of the season. No one was expecting it because it's been so unchariceristically warm. We've had rain and hail, but nothing more than that. I'll be honest, nothing much happened on Christmas eve. I was down here in the basement for most of the day playing iphone games like Bejeweled, Twodots, Flow Free, Tetris Blitz, and others.

I napped for a few hours, hung around with family just doing random stuff. I spent some time watching SuperMCGamer's let's play of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time on Youtube. In the evening we cooked dinner and wrapped presents. Well, other people besides me wrapped presents. We had a ham, potatoes, salad, carrots, and fruit salad. It was fun watching people make the dinner. I'm not much of a cook, but mom and Laura are, so it's always really interesting seeing them make everything. Sadly I didn't get pictures of most of the food. Even though nothing really exciting happened today besides the snow it was still a great day just because the family was together.

Usually we play the present game, but this year we didn't do it so we could do stocking stuffers. What you do for the present game is you buy a bunch of cheap presents and you all pick a number. You sit in a circle and roll some dice. If you roll a 7 or 11 you can pick a present. Once you roll one you can either pick a present for steal one someone has already opened. This is really fun and sometimes hilarious. Playing the present game has always been one of my favorite traditions. 

Anyway, so I was up for most of the night. I know I at least got 4 hours of sleep, but I knew I wouldn't fall asleep again so I just succumbed to my vampire / night owl ways and watched youtube videos all night.

I came out of my dungeon at about 8am. I knew everyone would take a long time to get things started, but I was feeling uncharacteristically impatient anyway. Basically we didn't get to opening presents until around 10:30pm. It took a while for everyone to get together, especially Tim, who had to drive in the snow. All my nieces and nephew were glued to the living room. Even I was parked in front of the fire watching Fate/Stary Night Unlimited Bladeworks episode 10 on my phone via Chrunchyroll.com. Everyone else was listening to Christmas music and just going about their business. My mom was in the kitchen making apple skeebers. They are pancake balls filled with apple sauce and you dip them in maple syrup. We make them every year as a tradition on Christmas morning.

As anticipated everyone than happy to open the presents when we were all gathered together. We usually take turns opening our presents and don't open them all at once. Here are the ones I got. I didn't pay moth attention to what other people got because I was feeling a bit burned out by all the social interaction.

I needed new boots so bad.

Random rainbow headband, just one of many I want.

A jewelry holder.

Fuzzy posters and foam boards.

GLITTER

THE THING I WANTED TO MOST. MY STAR NECKLACE!

GREEN YARN, Linda is going to make me something. :)

some new bangle bracelets!

A star hole punch

RAINBOW SOCKS1

A SCARF AND A MATCHING HAT

FUNKY NAIL POLISH

A LARGE WOODEN BOX

SPRY GUM AND CINNAMON TOOTHPASTE

STENCIL BRISHES

SMALLER WOODEN BOX WITH FLOWER HAIR PINS INSIDE.

PAINTING STENCILS

Here is the video version.

I did my best to hold on through all the excitement, but all the noises, and people, and other things happening I was way over stimulated and burned out. I took all my stuff downstairs and took pictures and a video. I went back and forth from upstairs to downstais a few times getting something to eat. My mom, besides making the apple skeebers made eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. I wasn't terribly hungry, but I enjoyed it a lot. After I ate I took my plate back upstairs and ten headed back down and fell asleep watching another Ocarina of Time let's play video by SuperMCgamer on youtube. I am on #19 as of now.

I'm not sure how long I slept, but nothing much else happened tonight. Well, after I woke up I found out that Justin caught the flu. Later in the night a couple of hours ago Linda and Jax also caught the flu. There have been a lot of sick people around, so I'm not terribly surprised. I think everyone except for me, Natalie and Kayla have caught it. Anyway, I was doing my usual internet shenanigans, music, reddit, facebook, stumbleupon, watching anime, etc. My family was upstairs playing scrabble and other games and I just didn't feel like joining in later in the night. I ate some chocolate peppermint creams that Linda gave the family for Christmas, as well as some of my mom's toffee, some Nut Thins, and I drank some sparkling peach stuff. Here are some photos.

Anyway, if I forgot to write about anything here I'll add it tomorrow, I am so exhausted by all the excitement. Such is the fate of nearly every introvert like me. We are all pretty much glad it's over, even though it was fun.

Flashback

I know I haven’t written in 10 days, I am still working on my procrastination problem. I am determined to tackle it before my 25th birthday in July. I would hate to make the big mistake of not writing anything in the 2nd quarter of my life like I did in this one. I suppose starting to write in my journal and / or blog at 17 wasn’t too bad, but now people will be missing so much. My life before that was quite interesting. There are a lot of details about my younger years that I have forgotten so sadly you will only hear it in fragments now and then in my entries. 

I guess now I should catch you up. I have a lot to tell. I will just start from yesterday and go backwards. I will do today’s entry separately. If you find this confusing, I suggest you read the paragraphs backwards or something like that. :)

21st

The day started out with dad making pancakes. He makes the best buttermilk pancakes in the world. I had them with cherry raspberry rhubarb  spread and a bit of butter on top. I had some of my sister’s home made bread also for breakfast.

I got my stuff ready to go to the gym, I decided to wear my green tank top and my green headband. Instead of bringing them with me I decided to just wear them on the way there. I grabbed my backpack and bus pass and left to catch the bus.

I switched up my routine at the gym and did more of what my personal trainer told me to do. I alternated 25 pull ups, 20 sit ups, 20 push ups and 30 squats 3 or 4 times. I did some cardio for 30 minutes, did two more rounds of my routine and then 30 more minutes of cardio. I finished up with 20 minutes of swimming, 10 minutes in the steam room and then a shower. Once I was cleaned up I did my usual routine of going to See’s Candies in the mall, and getting the orange chicken and teriyaki chicken samples from the food court. This time they gave me a butterscotch chew at See’s candies, I love those. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that the swimsuit dryer at the gym ate the green headband somehow, it was bizarre. I won’t be putting my headbands in there anymore with my swimsuit.

After looking at shoes in some of the stores I went to Farr’s ice cream and got a cup of half salty Carmel and half pistachio, went outside and caught the bus home.

Nothing all that great happened after I got home I was pretty tired and so I took a nap while I listened to Harry Potter for about a half an hour. Other than that I just listened to music, watched a few episodes of Ben 10, and some minecraft videos on youtube.

20th

I stayed up late the night before so I slept in really late. My day didn’t start until around 3pm. Days that I don’t go to the gym I usually don’t do much. I went for an hour long walk, I like listening to techno music and thinking about friends and other stuff when I take walks. Other than that I started watching random My Little Pony commentaries, and started watching Sailor Moon again.

19

I ate a big breakfast and got ready to go to the gym. I couldn’t find my shoes so I had to go grab my asic running shoes. I wasn’t very happy about this because I hadn’t broken them in and I was saving them for much later when I can actually run.

This was the day I started doing more arm and ab workouts. I also tried out some of the other cardio machines like the star stepper and something similar. I did not do any swimming this day so I cleaned up when I got home instead.  I ate some Cheerios and apple slices before I left and went to See’s candies to get a sample. They gave me a coconut cream flavored chocolate covered in dark chocolate.

When I got home I spent most of the day just doing the usual, you know listening to music and random internet stuff. One thing I did that I normally don’t do a lot is try and find past friends. I actually successfully managed to find my childhood best friend Eric on Facebook and his wife. It looks like they are very happy. I sent him one last message saying how sorry I was for how I acted in my teens, and for being such a jerk to the person that he ended up married to. I didn’t add him or anything, but left it like that. I want him to remember me in a good way, not the way I left our friendship 6 years ago.

18th (read 17 first)

I couldn’t find a ride to church so I attended it at the nearby chapel. After I was done there I went home and just relaxed. We celebrated my sister’s birthday again mom made garlic chicken, rice pilaf, and salad. We had coconut cream pie again for dessert. More of us are able to be together on Sundays without work and stuff.

I randomly started searching for social networks for introverts sometime in the evening. I found one called Anomo, it’s an app for android and iphone.

17th

Had a dream that these men were after me snd wanted me for some reason I’m not sure of. I remember one of them was fat though. I went to Darik snd Dylan’s house and found places to hide. Was going to hide in the closet but it was full, was. I remember something about finding some place to hide in a big drawer under the bed. Something about various people wondering about where I was, something about a flexible sword with snake like qualities. Dylan imposter or something like that, thought it was Dylan or maybe it was but I don’t know. I don’t think I got hurt, he might have left me alone after trying to pull out the drawer he pulled out the bed I was scared.
 
I remember something about escaping to a space ship and going to a pokemon planet or something. I think I was an alien. I’m not sure about this part. I think it was connected to the first part but not sure. The dream changed. I remember something like trying to find Dylan in a bowling alley and then at a club, friends were with me and then with nieces for some reason. Finding Dylan at the party or someone like him. Something at the party about lord of the rings VIP party that cost over 1000 dollars, I think was a party club pass membership or something. Went and found some stairs, there was a long line. Previously decided not to buy admission to other floor of party. Downstairs there were Instagram picture booths where groups and people were taking pictures thought Dylan might be there had a picture taken by some people I had on weird circle glasses on that had changed dark because of the lights. Went upstairs cause nieces or someone was calling. It was pretty random.

Had a Ben 10 marathon, didn’t have anything else to do. It was my sister’s birthday and she went out for lunch. Later we had coconut cream pie, we didn’t have enough money to do anything else together. I spent the rest of the evening playing around with my computer changing the colors, font styles, and overall theme. I figured out how to make my browser colors high contrast.

16th

After I ate breakfast on this day and made the usual preparations I headed off to the gym. This day was the first day that I officially saw my personal trainer at the gym. We talked about my goals, nutrition and went through my routine. I nearly passed out when he had me do a quarter of a mile as fast as I could on the elliptical. I think I felt sick for 10 minutes after that. Anyway, that is all we had time for, he set up our next appointment, sent me an email with my routine and we said goodbye to each other. After this I just did my usual stuff.

After I was done I got a cashew brittle sample at See’s candies and also made a stop at The Body Shop. I wasn’t sure if I was going to buy anything, but I ended up buying some new foundation, powder, lipstick, blush, and lip gloss. I also got a membership card to get a discount. The card cost me $10, but it’ll come in handy in the future.

In my blog notes I have something about a video written, but unfortunately I have no clue what that is about. This is why I take more detailed notes now. -.-

We had shepherds pie sometime in the evening and I actually fell asleep early.

15th

Sadly I don’t have any notes for this day, I remember it was boring though. I think this was the day I meant to catch up on, including the stuff before my May 12th entry. I’m still planning on doing that here.

14th

This was the day I set up my appointment with my personal trainer. I asked someone at the front desk to send a trainer my way because I’d never set one up before or scheduled or anything so I had no idea what to do. This was also the first day I wore the tank tops I bought the week before. I’ll talk about that day later.

I did some makeup window shopping after I was done at the gym. I went home after this and accidentally took a longer nap than I intended. This was while my sister and my niece went to my other niece’s violin concert. I’m not too fond of violins so I’m holding off on going until she is better. She is only 12 right now so there is a lot of room for improvement.

After I woke up from my nap I realized I was really behind on my calories and it was around 9pm or something so I had to think up something fast. I ended up making some eggs with cheese and ketchup on top. They were scrambled eggs. I make my scrambled eggs mixed with cottage cheese because it makes them fluffy and stuff. After I ate I started watching D-Grey-Man and I did that for the test of the night.

13.

Boring day, I don’t think anything worth note happened. This was the day after my last entry.

Now to the stuff before my last two entries. This shouldn’t take too long. I’ll try to not be overly detailed. This is everything in the first 10 or so days of May.

***************************
Well, usually when a new month comes around, I get my bus pass from vocational rehab. They know that I need a means to get around and so they have been providing me with bus passes so I can get around and job hunt and stuff. It just so happened that my sister needed to go get some medical papers for a school meeting for one of my nieces on the day I needed to get my bus pass and so she took me to the office. It didn’t take long, she drove me up to the office and I was in and out of there in a matter of minutes. We left right after to go pick up the papers she needed. Once we were done we went out to eat at Whendy’s. I got a spicy chicken sandwitch and a frosty. I guess my sister lost track of time and so we suddenly found ourselves in a hurry because she had to get to my niece’s school meeting.

She didn’t have enough time to take me home and so we just headed straight to the school, it isn’t too far from where we live.  When we got to the school, we met up with dad that had just walked over to meet us. He wasn’t sure if the house was open or not, he told me to go and check. He thought that my sister would drop me off at home, so he wasn’t prepared. He and my sister went inside the school building and I walked home hoping that the door was opened. It’s a good thing I didn’t get my hopes up, because the door was locked, in fact both doors were locked. I walked back to the school and tried calling my dad again, but he didn’t answer. He had told me that he would be out in a little while, but I had my doubts.

My phone was almost dead and I didn’t have my wallet or anything, so I just sat outside on the car, and then after a while on the grass. I waited and waited and waited, and i got more and more and more irritated. Basically it was two hours before dad gave up and came out. He said he thought it was going to be shorter, but it turned out to be a lot longer and more important than he thought it was going to be. I was in a very bad mood, but I hid that fact. On top of everything and the fact that I wanted to go to walmart and to the gym 2 hours earlier I had gotten a very bad sunburn. I just wanted to get as far away for a while as possible after that bad experience. I hurried up and got my stuff together, i wasn’t sure if I was going to get to go to the gym because I wanted to buy some workout stuff at Walmart before I went there. I wasn’t sure how long I was going to take, but wanted to be prepared anyway just in case I did have enough time left.

Dad saved me some time by taking me to the bus stop that had the bus that went straight to walmart. originally I would have had to take a bus to that bus stop and then catch that bus to walmart. I was glad hat I got to save probably 45 minutes. Anyway, I had to wait a few minutes for the next bus, but I was fine with that. When I go to walmart I was there for a lot longer than I originally intended. I tried on a ton of different sports bras, and some tank tops. With my new sunburn it was pretty uncomfortable, but I lived through it. In the end I got six different bras, 4 were sports bras and 2 were regular bras. I picked out black, blue, and green tank tops. got some cranberry juice, bai 5 juice, and something else i don’t remember anymore. I walked around the store for a while after that because i realized i didn’t have enough time to go to the gym anymore. I just love taking my sweet time shopping… alone.

By the time I was done the buses had stopped running, buses over here stop running after 6:30, and it was after 8, so I called my dad, waited outside for a while, and he took me home. Nothing much happened after that, I just spent the evening watching random stuff online and just hanging around the house. I showed the things i bought to my mom. My sunburn was pretty bad by now and it had come out in full.

I made the mistake of going to the gym the next day, I was okay working out with my sunburn, but when it came to swimming when I put on my halter top swim suit it was so incredibly painful. On top of this I actually was crazy enough to get into the hot tub, I’m sure THAT was horrid for my burn, I guess I wasn’t thinking about it enough. It’s probably a good thing that i did not go into the sauna or the steam room that day. When I got into the pool I got some relief, but I was so glad when I go to take that swim suit off. After that trip to the gym I made my monthly purchase from See’s Candies and then went home. I learned my lesson after that trip to the gym and took a break the following week from the gym. This stuff happened during the first weekend of May.

Anyway, because I decided to stay away from the gym due to my really bad sunburn for the first full week of May that week wasn’t really all that eventful. Of course there is the possibility that I forgot some things because that week i did not take any blog notes. that is a mistake I will not be making again. Most of this post would not have been possible if I had not gotten into that habit now.

One thing i do remember is that I was on a Veronica Mars marathon for a lot of it, I actually finished the series and the movie by last week. I also went to the Cinco De Mayo carnival at a local elementary school, it was a pretty awesome thing. Every year they throw a carnival to raise funds for the school. You can get various punch passes for various amounts of money. I got a 40 count punch pass for $10 dollars. I used it on things like cotton candy, hand made bead rings, nachos, chips and salsa after the nachos, and spinning a wheel for candy. There were a ton of people there and there was bidding on cool baskets, there was face painting, a giant inflatable slide, a rock wall, a candy cannon, and a lot of other stuff I don’t remember. I went to last years carnival and it was just as cool, only back then I got to bid on one of the baskets. I didn’t win the bid, but it was still fun.

Anyway, if I remember anything else later I will talk about it in future entries, the same goes for any memories before I started blogging. I will be sharing those memories from time to time randomly. This entry took me a long time to write and a lot of patience and I am done now, so i am going to go take a break and sit back and be proud of myself. Hope you enjoyed the post! :)

Legally Blind

First off, here is the first official part of my web show.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0H2csMrjvs]

 

I watched the gymnastics team get gold today, it was great. I have always loved gymnastics a lot. I also watched Michael Phelps get his gold and break a record for the most medals. I am personally more of a Lochti fan like I said yesterday though. I know he doesn't have as many medals, but I just think he is great.  As for the gymnastics team, I don't really have a favorite currently.

My sister made a second batch of Gluten free chocolate chip cookies, and peanut butter cookies, they were great. I didn't write anything on Sunday, but that was probably the only thing that happened that day besides church and the Olympics.  We made the first batch on Sunday.

I watched Bonanza today with my mom, I haven't watched that in a long time. It is a raelly great show. Some of you know that I love old TV shows, especiallly mystery, and westerns. I have also started watching Dragnet recently. 

Anyway, besides this I have been updating some stuff in minecraft like texture packs and other stuff. I try not to play tooo much on my computer because I don't want to wear my laptop out. I would probably play more if I had a desktop, but I don't so I just have to manage. I do play it a lot on my phone however.

I guess this is all. :)

Mysterious Chocolate Cake

Today the first thing I did when I woke up was I washed my hair. I swear I have the most annoying hair in the world right now. It’s at that awkward length again.  

I had a pretty strange breakfast today. i had milk, chicken, and carmel, and cheddar popcorn from Costco. I am definitely NOT great at thinking up stuff to eat.

I read the sailor Moon manga for a while after this. My nieces were watching Redwall upstairs. If you haven’t read the book, or seen the TV show I totally recommend it.  I have seen it too many times, so it is actually really annoying to me now, but it really is a good show. My niece kayla watches it all the time.

Marcie, who usually picks me up every Sunday, and organizes the ward Family Home Evening activities every Monday, texted me at the last second earlier today before church and told me she couldn’t come. She then proceeded to warn me in advance that this is the way it is going to be for the next few weeks. I was really grateful to her for this.  I had to get a ride from my dad because it was already almost 12:40, and everyone had most likely left for church. We usually have to drive at least 10 minutes to get to the building to get to the Young Adult ward.

First hour was about faith, I also did some scripture reading.

Second hour was about Alma 30-32 in the Book of Mormon. I accidentally got too comfortable in class and fell asleep. This week this guy named Trent taught the class. Trent has a very loud voice and this is usually why I end up going to his class when he teaches in the second hour because it’s not easy to sleep through it when Trent is talking.

Third hour was sacrament meeting. I just did the usual. If you know what happens in an LDS sacrament meeting I don’t even need to explain. I have done that a few times before on my blog.

After church I got a ride from Michelle, she takes me to church sometimes too. I have probably mentioned her a few times.  We mostly talked about what our favorite things to do at 7 Peaks water park are.  

I watched more Sailor Moon for a while after this and then went upstairs and surfed facebook for a while on my phone. I saw this picture of a watermelon carving on there and showed it to my niece Natalie. Natalie got a real kick out of it, she had never seen one of those before. I showed her a few more off of Google image search after this.

After this I ate spaghetti for dinner and surfed the news section on Crunchyroll.  I then had a lazy half an hour before going to ward prayer. I was watching some dog sled competition documentary with my nieces, and sitting in weird positions on the couch. Sometimes I do this weird thing where I sit completely backwards on the couch with my feet in the air and stuff. It’s fun sitting the opposite way on the couch sometimes.  

I went to ward prayer after this. Someone sang a song and someone gave a spiritual thought. I did learn something today. There is this store called Winco over here, apparently they have real bees in the store that people just go there and get honey from. I thought that was interesting. I really like Winco, they have those big barrels of candy and stuff. I went there with my brother one time when the power went out once. I got to ride on a scooter for the first time and I bought some candy and pretzels over there.  I think it was back in May or something, before I came back to Xanga, and blogger and blogging in general. At the beginning of ward prayer I actually started to talk to one of my friends, but we got interrupted because it started. I didn't really get to talk to her, but I am planning on posting on her wall later. I'll probably do it after I post this.

We had this chocolate cake stuff that was kind of cool. It had like a layer of dark chocolate stuff on the top, and then there was the cake part, but the coolest part was the pudding like stuff that was inside. At first before you taste it it looks like part of the cake almost, or like the inside of a truffle. It tastes like truffle kind of, but has the texture of pudding. I thought it was really cool. I should have gotten a photo of it.  I was so busy enjoying it I didn’t even think about it.  They also had peanut butter and chocolate cookies. I wish I had the recipe for the cake.

I went home after I grabbed another one of those. My mom and dad were watching the finale of the bachelorette I think when I got home.  

Anyway, here I am now typing this. I think this is all for tonight. If anything else happens I'll edit.

I Wish it Would Never End

So it's been a few days since I started reading a manga called "Glass Mask". From the very first day I started reading it I fell in love with the story line. Glass Mask is about a girl that loves acting, the whole manga is absolutely brilliant in every way, very creative, inspiring and the plays it portrays leave you on the edge of your seat. Today I reached the latest chapter, that is I am caught up in the manga to the most current chapter.

There are 2 things I hate when I am reading a manga. First when one ends, especially when I really liked reading it. The other thing I hate though is waiting for the next chapter to come out. Most of you know the experience of wanting to know what happens next in a book, or TV, it's the same thing here. Lucky for me and other people that read manga that there are a lot of different manga so when I am waiting for the next chapter to come out I can just go read another one.

My sister made chocolate chip cookies today, it's been a while since she did that. She is allergic to gluten, so for a while we didn't do that. I don't know anything about making gluten free cookies, but the ones she made tonight were good. I think I must have eaten like 4 or 5 of them (haha). While in the process of eating the cookies tonight we also dwindled our milk supply down the 0% sadly. I guess I won't be eating chocolate cereal tomorrow for breakfast after all. I guess I'll have to improvise.

Today's sunset brought an impressive display of pink and orange clouds. It was very pretty and yes I did get a picture of course.

Speaking of clouds it did rain a little bit today as well. Some time in the midst of the rain or after it rained Darik snapped a picture of a rainbow on his phone and uploaded it to Instagram. It's a really pretty picture. Here is a link to the picture.

Rainbow Picture

Anyway, the rain made the air smell heavenly, i was outside for about 20 minutes I think taking pictures and smelling the fresh air it was amazing. Sadly I did not see the rainbow that happened for myself, though I wish I had seen it. I think I was inside trying to finish the last few episodes of the "Glass Mask" anime. "Glass Mask" is also an anime by the way.  I did end up finishing it by the way, and it was a really great anime, even though they never did finish it completely.

I know I've been a little absent on Xanga lately. I have trouble with procrastinating a little bit. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, i should really stop. I suppose me starting to blog on blogger as well will open an opportunity to catch up and fill in the blanks on both of my blogs. It wasn't to too long ago actually a few hours ago I started setting up my blog on blogger. I'm really looking forward to having my blog in 2 places at once again. Some of you know I used to blog on Tumblr, but quit because they have no adult content filter and I was tired of running into stuff I did not want to see.

I was thinking of going to Harmon's for fun a few hours ago to get some stuff to eat, I changed my mind though.I was going to get some chicken and potatoes and macaroni and cheese, but I decided to just stick with what I had at home. I think that was healthier than going to Harmon's anyway. I don't think I have been eating healthy today anyway so that was smart.

Anyway, I'm going to go play Tetris for a while before I go to bed. I usually always do that, it helps me sleep better.

I guess that is all for now. Nothing else has really happened today. If I forgot anything I will just mention it in a future post.

Oh, and if you see posts appear that are of an earlier date that means I have begun moving my blog posts from Xanga to here. Pretty soon it will look like I have been blogging on here for the last 3 years. You won't even be able to notice I just made this blog today. :)

Cookies

So my mom decided to make home made cookies before i went to church. I hadn't eaten anything pretty much before church yesterday, so when i got home after church i had something to really look forward too. she made Oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chip cookies they were great. 

We had macaroni and cheese (home made) as well yesterday

don't you just love little things like that?
