Questions Tag...

So Bleah Briann did this tag and I thought it would be a lot of fun... Then I saw that an Anna Gray was tagged at the end, but there are a couple of Anna Grays out there so I'm going to do it anyway... =)

Orange juice unless of course we don't have any, then I just have water...

{3} Where do you go to school? What do you like/dislike about it?

{6} What's the silliest thing you've ever done with your siblings, cousins or any other family member? Would you do it again if you could?
The silliest thing... um that would have to be trying to fry an egg on my cousins street... We thought it was really hot out, so we decided to try to fry and egg... well, all we did was make a mess in the middle of the street... that is only the beginning, but yeah....

Pirates, Twix, Doggies, and Diaper Cakes

Hello Blogger-World!!! I have no idea for a theme so I'm just gonna go with the flow here... Since it is Halloween time, there are a bunch of "scary movies" on TV. Well, last night "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was on... I like those movies, but I swear that those are the freakiest movies that I will ever watch!!! I jump all the time when the people walk into the moonlight *shiver*. Don't get the idea that I do Halloween just because I watch some of the movies that come on TV... Because I don't. I don't really need to go trick-or-treating to get candy because my friends supply most of my November sugary treats... especially Twix. I love them. Something about the chocolate-caramel-cookie combination is just sooooo GOOD!!!!! Mmmmmmmm....

Thinking about the chocolate-y-ness of chocolate... told you that I'm random... I remembered the brownies sitting out in the kitchen... Now they are going to torture me!! Ironically, my brother just mention them right after I typed that sentence... =)

You probably know how much I love Zoe... She is adorable and well I love her!! Anyway, we have been dog-sitting my aunt's dog since Thursday... Two dogs are double the work!! So cute though!!

*sigh* I have run out of randomness to blog about... Oh yeah!! Sorry that I have not been keeping my promise of blogging daily. I am going to get much better about it after this week because volleyball is ending and I handed in the hard part of this huge project I had to do for school...

Guess what my mom and I just made!! It's a cake... made out of diapers!!!!! And no, we are not planning to eat this non-edible cake. It is for a baby shower. And O! MY! GAWSH! is it CUTE!!!!!! Ahhhhhh... so yeahhhh... I think I'm done now....................... Yeah I'm gonna stop before this turns into gibberish...

25 Random Questions...

This blog idea actually has a funny story... I was cleaning the bathroom when I came up with this so it really is random!!! So as I type I will come up with the questions, so bear with me...

1.) What is your pet's name? Her name is Zoe. She is a fluffy shih-tzu bishon mix... Love her to pieces!!!

2.) What are 5 things you are touching? My pink laptop, my cell phone, Zoe's pillow, the love-seat. Does that count, because I'm sitting on it... Oh well!! The fifth thing is Zoe.

3.) What are you wearing today? The typical Aero shirt, skinny jeans, and cute socks. Nothing special...

4.) What is the weather like outside? Cloudy and COLD!!!

5.) What is something unique about your room? My room... Well first off, the walls are all "popcorn" style. You know what I mean... The spikey things that the construction guys forgot to sand off. The walls only go up about 4 feet then they start to slant into the middle where they meet in a strip that is the formal ceiling... I'm going to have to show you a picture sometime... The one thing that I do to my room is that I write inspiring things on notecards and post-its and put them on my door above the knob. I started doing this about January. They are for when I am having a bad day or I'm kind of stressed... I'll get into more detail sometime about it...

6.) What song are you listening to? The Sound of the Resistance by The Wrecking... I don't have any idea who they are... It's on the radio... Now it's MercyMe...

7.)Who is your favorite singer? Right now I'm really into Hawk Nelson, Relient K, and Britt Nicole... My all time favorite has to be tobyMac though... I freaked when I went to his concert!!

8.) What is your favorite song? Hold On by tobyMac... I have a couple lyrics from it taped to my door... :)

11.) Are you running out of question ideas? Yes, yes I am.

12.) Do you get annoyed when you get an annoying forwarded text from 5 different people? First of all... How many more times could I have said a form of "annoy"? To answer the question... Yes, it does bother me greatly.

13.) Do you laugh easily? This is actually from a worksheet in Health last year... I asked my friend Izzy... She looked at me funny and I started cracking up! So the answer would be yes! My answer just made me smile a little bit...

What's more important?

Sometimes I think that God puts us through some of the things we go through just to see how long it takes for us to look to the sky and say "Why God?". You try to be there for your friends, giving them amazing advice, but then realizing that advice applies to your life too. Most of the time its too late to fix what you already screwed up.

It hurts my heart when people take advantage of what God has given them. Like your voice. Why would you use your voice to hurt someone when you could be healing their wounds?

Do you remember that elementary school phrase "What goes around, comes around"? Well, if you use your voice to encourage someone instead of tearing them down, then someone will probably be there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on. Figuratively speaking, or sometimes literally.

The really sad thing is when I try to do the right thing, but I somehow get sucked into all the pointless drama. Most of it doesn't even concern me!! Then I waste my time and energy on something that doesn't even make sense... that frustrates me so much because then instead of goofing around with my friends, I am venting all of this built up frustration.

Another thing that I have been realizing is that I am wasting my time on people who honestly don't care what I think or what I have to say. But then when they want something, they are suddenly my "best friend". But I only feel complete for a minute or even just a few seconds, just until they are done with me and they move on. Why am I wasting my time when I could be spending that valuable time on God, my family, and the people that God has obviously shoved in my face to minister to??

I realized that there was so much that I didn't know about my little brother. That's really sad because we live in the same house. Yet somehow I know about so-and-so's new boyfriend at school. Lately I have been doing a serious reality check.

What's more important, fitting in, or standing out?

My Best Friend...

Have you ever noticed that the term "BFF" is used quite liberally?? People always say "Oh, she's my BEST FRIEND" then the next day they aren't even talking anymore because of some stupid fight that doesn't even make sense!!! That has always urked me... I know, I know!! I'm going on and on about the term "BFF" when the blog title is "My Best Friend". Well, there is one type of "Best Friend" that will never go away... BROTHERS. Yeah, I'm going to brag a little here... My brother is the bestest friend that anyone could have!!!!!!!!! And he is all MINE!!!! Sometimes I share him... Not much though so your lucky if I share!!! One of my friends, Mia, adores him like he is her own little brother...

One thing he does that bothers me other than the typical boy stuff is that he doesn't like to get his picture taken. So the other day, we were really hyper after having a half day in school. So while rolling around on my bedroom floor, I started taking pictures. I took them on my phone so they are not very good, but here they are anyway!!

This was the first picture... The flash was so bright that my brother accidentally crossed his eyes... I almost peed my pants laughing when I saw the picture!! I love this one the most!!!

This one is the cutest by far!! Both of our eyes look really blue... Which is strange for my eyes. Usually they look gray or green... ANYWHO!!!*PEW PEW* Yeah we're cool...

We're secret agents... shhhhh!!!!!

I love my Best Friend... ♥

Much Love♥

I'm back... Hopefully...

Hi there... I know, I know... I am supposed to be in school!! I don't feel very good so I stayed home... And I slept for like 4 extra hours!!!! Ahhhh... ANYWAYS...

Last night I played volleyball for the first time in a week and a half!! Here's the story... during one of the games earlier in October I twisted my knee funny and I ended up getting tendinitis in my left knee... I had to sit and watch four games!!!! It was pure torture!! God was faithful and healed it quickly so I got released a week early and I don't have to do physical therapy like originally planned, PRAISE THE LORD!!!! This is the second time that God healed me fast enough that I didn't need therapy....


This post really didn't have a reason... Besides the fact that I haven't posted in like forever!!! I think I might just write up a bunch of posts then post them throughout the week... I don't know. I think I should probably work on school work, but I keep zoning in and out, if you know what I mean!! So I might just make up another binder cover for Nicole or something... OH YEAH!!! That reminds me!!! If you go to my last post then you will see Ashley's binder cover... If your name is Ashley or you know and Ashley that might want it then comment below please!! The first person to comment saying that they want it will get it so the race is ON!!!

Much Love ♥

My Craftiness...

I love it when I get my craft on!!! Ahaha... Well, in my school we don't have notebooks and folders, we have binders. So I have always been the girl to have the fancy shmancy covers for my plain binders. I just ADORE the crazy colored zebra prints!! So I said to myself, "I can do that!!" So I did... And now everyone has seen it and want one, so the prints have gotten better and a little more unique... Well here they are!!!

This is the original zebra print that got everyone talking!! I love it!!!!!

This is one that I made for my friend Izzy... purple and green zebra!! What could possibly be more fun than that?!?!!?

Lisha saw the one I was making for Izzy, so she asked for one... I made hers with only one zebra letter because I wanted to make hers unique and different than anything else I had done... You like it??

This one was for my chica Mia... This one is one of my favs!!!!
This one is definitely my all time FAVORITE!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Rainbow zebra for Angelica... How sweet???

This one is... you guessed it.. FOR ME!!!!!! I made one for pretty much all of my friends and I finally made one for ME!!!! It's so pretty...

I think I have an idea!!! Leave a comment and vote for your favorite!!!! Much Loves ♥
