So tonight I was left with this message:
"WEll today i talked to a friend that i havnt talked to in a loooooooooooong time. idk y its been so long. becuase honestly ive missed her. Im outta high school now and i know im not gonna see a lot of ppl ever again or not see ppl as much but with her, idk, i guess i like her too much to go a long time without seeing her."
This made me realize a few things:
1) someone cares enough to write about me
2) I have a little secret admirer
3)I have the greatest person in the whole world in my life and it took me awhile to see that.....
Thank you secret crush for making me smile!!!

Can we say "Talent in our school!!"
So Wednesday was the talent show in the auditorium at the school. Dress rehearsal was the day before and for me it went ok but I had a little trouble. But at the show (which by the way I was fifth to last), I think I did an amazing job. Someone said their prays for me because I didn't crack and everything was right on. I was really sad to be singing one last time on that stage. I want to thank Josh Thornton and the others who helped me and encouraged me through the whole process. I couldn't have done it without you. And I did feel like it was my show!!! I had a blast singing the entire time and got a little help from the Labb Rats (aka the teacher band) with clapping and the encouragement that I could hear was great. I was so glad that my friends got to see me and them being there was so great!!!!!
I hope I did Queen justice on their song "Somebody to Love." I think I rocked it out just as Freddie would have.

Yummyyyyyyy
So I have discovered the nest best ice cream. It's Ben and Jerry's Cake Batter Ice Cream. It's yellow cake batter ice cream with chocolate frosting swirls!!! Can you say Yum!!!! I love ice cream because it's great in the summer and also good for watching movie's with the girls or when your having a bad day. This stuff is delish!!! I wouldn't say this is my favorite ice cream now but it's close...top 3. My favorite Panda Paws/ Moose Tracks. Sooooooo Good!!!! I also have found at Cold Stone peanut butter ice cream. I created my own ice cream. It was peanut butter ice cream, resse cups, and peanut butter sauce. OMG it was soooo good!!!! Anyway, what is your favorite ice cream and why?

Romeo's new groove
So this guy that I work with whose name is Romeo, is one of my really good friends. He works in the deli at the Giant and for awhile I liked him, but it didn't work out. He is a really funny kid and can sing Aladdin really well. He loves drinking Monster and is really hyper. I feel proud to say I helped in the process of helping him move on from his crazy ex, and onto one of my good friends. He told me he liked her so I set things up. I helped him write a poem to her that she loved and that was so cute. He gets so nervous around her and I have never seen him like this before. Every time I talk to him on the phone, all he talks about is this girl whose name is Juliet, who according to to Romeo is "the fairest maiden of them all." He has lots of fun with her and when I talk to her, she seems to have great feeling towards him!!! She is always smiling and apparently "Always on my mind," says Romeo. Anyways, I'd like to take credit for getting them together. Romeo is a sexy bitch and he loves Juliet's eyes. I'm happy for both of them and hope things work out.

So much for Easter....
So yesterday was Easter and I got to work from 8 in the morning until one, then rush home so I could see my cousin before she went to work at 2:30. As her and I got to talking we realized that our holidays are becoming less and less. Less people, less food, and less gifts (not that the gifts matter.) It is really sad because I really only see my cousins on holiday's and if we try and plan something, someone ends up having to work. So it's really hard to find time to see each other. The food wasn't all that great either. I made apple pie which was soooooo good, but my mom usually makes cheesecake but she bought it instead. It was good but it just wasn't the same. My mom usually makes really good potatoes, but she bought them from this place called Cena. They were sooo gross. The best part of my meal was the baked ziti. I will forever love that stuff!! Then after my cousin left I was all alone with nothing to do. Then my mom brought up this really old box from the seventies which had pictures of my mom, my aunt, and uncle when they were younger. It had a head band that's over 45 years old, and old report cards and stuff. I was looking at some of the clothes these people wore and couldn't help but laugh. My aunt had a bee hive hair do with tons of hair spray in it. My aunt was a beautician for awhile and once people found out she could give hair cuts like the Beatles, people flocked to her. My mom got it done and she looked like a twelve year old boy. It was pretty funny looking at those pictures. Our Easter was kind of boring and I miss my old Easter baskets that were filled with candy. Now I got makeup, gum, and some money. Not so thrilling. I miss the Easter Bunny and searching for eggs around the house. It's just not the same. I guess that's a part of growing up. Today's question is how was your Easter? What are your normal traditions? What has changed? Would you want it back to the way it was when you were younger? I can't wait to go back to school tomorrow! NOT

My favorite food is........
The one food I cannot live without is mashed potatoes. They are so delicious and you can eat them anytime of the year and they are still great. Obviously, they are the food of Thanksgiving but just the other day I whipped myself up a batch. They were so cheesy and creamy and delish!!! I also had some corn and broccoli with them and I thought I'd bring it all together with some cranberry juice. It felt like Thanksgiving, which is my favorite holiday because of mashed potatoes. And when you eat them you just can't have a small amount. You have to pile them high with gravy and butter. Oh I'm drooling thinking about them. The great thing is, you can add whatever you want to them. You can add bacon, ham, cheese, corn, pretty much anything your heart desires. They are the most amazing food in the world, so hears my question to you. What is your favorite food? Why do you like it so much?

My favorite things to wear.....
So I was sitting here and thought about what to write about and I decided that sweatshirts and sweatpants are God's gift to this earth. If you're single, like myself, and have no one to impress, they are the best thing ever created. They are soft and you can wear them anywhere, from going to the store or just lounging around the house. Of course there are limits to this, like you can't wear them on a date, or to the opera. That would be ridiculous. Anyway, I was just wondering what your favorite clothes are. Why do you like them soooo much?

I wanna know, what your feelin.....
Let me know what some of your favorite bands or songs are. I'm just curious to see how different all of our tastes in music are. Look at your ipod for inspiration. How do these songs make you feel? Did it ever help you in your life? Did someone introduce you to this song or band? How did it affect you? <- just some questions to get your mind thinking.....

It's a Hard Life
This song says it all.....Just listen to it and you'll see what I mean. Here are the lyrics for you if you want to sing along.
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

New Song!!
So I have decided that I couldn't do a talent show without doing a Queen song, so I have changed my song to "Somebody To Love" by Queen. Queen is one of my favorite bands ever, and I listen to them all the time. This song was tricky to learn but I got it and I'm super excited to be singing it. If you don't know the song here you go:
PS....The talent show is on April 9th...be there or be square.

Zzzzzzz.....
So I just got back from the most boring hour and a half of my life. This was attending a Board of Education Meeting for PIG. Let me start from the beginning.
Once upon a time, I was assigned to take PIG, a class that teaches you the role students play in government. If that wasn't enough torture, you have to attend a town meeting or a Board of Education meeting and have 15 hours of community service. So far I have the BOE meeting down and 2 hours of community service for filling out a voting registration, which I already did online so it was completely pointless, but whatever. So back to the BOE meeting. I was told it was at the District Building at 7:30. So I left my house at 10 after 7. I got there at 7:21. The parking lot wasn't that full but I went inside anyway and saw a bulletin that said "March 17, 2008 BOE meeting 7:00 at T.J Watson." I was like "I have no idea which school that is!!!!" So I figured out that it's the one near Crestview. I felt like a mouse in a maze trying to find the darn school. They didn't put that school in a very convenient spot, I will tell you that much. So finally I got to the school and saw a bunch of cars and I knew I was late. I walked to the front of the building and I was so glad that school looks like AGM (West Corners represent), so I knew exactly where the cafeteria was. I got to the front door and saw a note "Use Cafeteria Door in Back of school." I groaned and then walked all the way to the back, opened the door, and sat down in the back. They were talking about all the money we spend and how much it costs per student and all this stuff with big sums of money I didn't even know this district had. Then they started to talk about JFS and all the additions to it and the renovations they were planning on doing to it. I became a little more intrigued to see that plans for this and decided to take some notes, since my class requires me to do a write up. As Doctor Coon stood up to talk, I saw he had on a dreadful suit jacket, the color of my curtains in my living room which are a hideous green color. It was a really bad flashback to the '80s, which I hope I don't have to return to. His jacket was so distracting, it took the focus off the presentation and onto him. Anyway, then they were talking about moving the sixth graders at JFS to AGM and what not. They wanted to eliminate any distraction from the construction and focus on learning. They were talking about how they might have to switch classrooms three or four times a year to accommodate construction and I also found out that JFS is going to rock now. They are going to have a ton of stuff like two gyms on the same floor, and that second floor, nasty gym is going to be the new library. They also discussed how the schedules will be changed and that language will be required in 7th grade instead of 8th. Oh man, are those kids going to hate that. I also heard this lady whine about how she has four kids that would go to four different schools and how that is going to break the family bond and all this other bologna. All and all, I wasn't too thrilled with the meeting and I would rather get a shot (which I hate with a passion) than sit at another board meeting. Now I have to focus on getting 13 more community service hours. Whoo hooo.....can't wait!!! (NOT)

The Good Old Days
What happened? We all used to be so cute and innocent. Then we all tried to fit in during middle school and that's when the downward trek started. We used to play on the playground, chase the boys around the swing, play kickball together, and said that the opposite sex had the cooties. What happened to those days? Why can't we still do that kind of stuff.
Now girls have their underwear out and wear short skirts that show, well there is no other way to put this but, their Lindsey Lohan. Girls need all the coolest bags and those $250 jeans that rip in a week. They compete with each other and see who's boy friend is hotter and who slept with theirs first. Then to get back at the other, they sleep with their best friend's boy friend and the guys take pictures of what they do with girls in hotels (sound familiar?) Any way all I'm saying is that it's still okay to be a kid. It's still okay to play on the playground and want to swing on the tire swing. We are 17 and 18 years old. We don't need to group up so fast.
*By the way I have no idea who these people are in these pictures*

Where Would You Be?
If I could be anywhere right now I would want to be sitting outside of my house and by my fire pit just curled up in a bunch of blankets with the crackling fire going, just looking at the stars. I love it outside of my house because there are no lights to block the skies amazing-ness. I love falling asleep outside and the smell of the fire. I love it when you're by the fire for a long time and then your clothes and your hair smell of the fire. I love that because I feel almost one with nature...like my body is absorbing it. Just taking the time out to relax by a fire is so great because you can just clear your mind of the bad and think about the good. Have you wondered what is beyond what we see? Wondered what we are missing? Wondered what's beyond, beyond? I do that a lot but I can't fathom it. Although it is too cold to do this now, once it hits about i don't know 50 degrees I'm outside to have a bon fire. Who ever wants to come, is welcome to my house. Marshmallows are the best over the fire but just hanging out and looking at the stars and falling asleep under them is just amazing. The only thing I hate about being outside are the bats that fly around but they don't bother me. As long as I can reminisce, I'll let them live.
Where would you want to be right now if the weather allowed it?

And I thought Hippos were cute....
So today I saw the two most disturbing videos of hippos I have ever seen. They were fighting each other and i was deeply saddened to learn that hippos are so mean. They look cute in cartoons but when I saw these videos, they looked like a completely different and ugly if I might add. Maybe if they weren't so ugly they wouldn't be so mean. Maybe if they had higher self esteem they wouldn't be so crazy and spray their feces everywhere which is another thing I learned today. This is disgusting but that's how they claim their territory. Anyway, I thought hippos were nice and pleasant but come to find out they are NOT!!! Does anyone remember the game Hungry Hungry Hippo?! That game was fun because they were colored hippos eating little white balls. No one tells kids that they are mean and nasty. This video is a commercial I just found....kinda funny....

Finally!!!!!!
As I was giving up hope on the whole prom date thing, I finally figured out who I wanted to go with. Hid older brother is in our grade and is a great person. And you may ask, well why didn't you ask him? Well i figured Donnie Faughnan was taken so I went to the next best thing...his younger brother Pat. I asked him during math on the calculator. You know how you can type on there...well I did. My teacher kept walking by, so I kept clearing and after about 7 or 8 tries I typed, "Wanna go to my prom with me"....He said suree....so now I'm uber excited that I have a date...now I have two more missions
1. Get a dress ( I found my dress!!!!!!)
2. Find Elise a date
Prom Dress:$300
Prom Dinner:$60
Limo:$80 per person
Having a blast with your friends: priceless

Lack of Money
So I finally was able to put money in the bank. I haven't been able to do this in months because I'm always owing people money especially my mom. Over the past 4 days I have basically given her $70. Thursday my sister and I went and ran a couple errands. Her friend had surgery so she wanted to buy a couple things for her. I purchased these things which cost about $8 and then my sister called my mom and said, "you have to pay Mallory back." My mom said this was fine. Later my sister and I grew quite hungry so we went to Taco Bell. I bought my sister and I dinner and spent about $7. Again my sister called my mom to ask if she would pay me back and my mom said yes. Then I decided to put gas in the car so that well so that it could be driven. I put $25 in that. I got home and had saved all of my receipts from my purchases except I didn't get one for gas because I paid in cash. I walked downstairs and asked my mom for $15 because I figured I would put the gas in the car this week so I only asked for the two previous purchases. Well, she said, "You owe me for putting minutes on your phone" and today I paid her $30 for the other half of what I owed the state because she said she would pay half. Well again she said, "You owe me twenty a week for insurance so subtract that, you owe me for putting minutes on your phone, and you put gas in the car." Last time I checked I wasn't responsible for feeding my sister. And just in case I haven't cleared this up, I work at the GIANT and make $7.80 per hour. I make about $100 a week. I somehow always come up short and my mom is always asking for money because I "owe" her. Well the distress that woman causes me and me taking it, is payment enough. She is always on my case about something. Well, tonight she said "Well I'll give you ten back." I go "Forget it, you're going to find something else to charge me for." Even before I had this job I had to pay for everything. If I didn't have the money I couldn't get it. Now I pay for my insurance, gas, and apparently for my sister too. This is really making me angry now and I almost feel like crying because the only one that understands is my dad because he hates when she takes my money. I'm 18 MOM!!!!! I don't even want to call her that! I don't make that much money and I'm always giving her money and I hate it because I can't do anything!!! I'm hoping to move out of my house and in with my dad because my mom is like the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm sorry this post is such a drag but I'm in that kind of mood.
Do you have to pay for all of your purchases? i.e insurance, gas, cell phone, or just things that you want
Are your parents as bad as my mom?????
** Again sorry this is such a bummed out message, but it's been on my mind lately.**

The worst sub ever!!!!!
So today I was in communications class hoping to see Mrs. Krieger and have my day brightened but to my surprise some lady that we have had in the past was there. The witch of all teachers!!! Mrs.Fitch!!!! That woman has more problems than most people in the psych ward. She prowled around the entire time, weaving in and out of the computers as if on a hunt for some teen meat. I was reading my packet to learn more for my analysis I have to write (btw I am not looking forward to that), and she would come and stand behind Steph and I. I was like "excuse me..go!" She bothers me more than Mrs. Petrish does who is another sub that I have had the unfortunate pleasure of having. Anyway, Fitch should have never been a teacher because as she was prowling around she began to ask us a million and one questions on something about cave men. Now, Steph and I began looking at each other like shut up. She told us to work and be quiet, and believe me we tried, but the woman cannot stop talking. She is worse than my mom...seriously. The best part about this whole class was at the end. Leaving her presence was a gift from above. That woman needs to get off the list of substitutes because she may have filled the spot of Mrs. Krieger but she is no Mrs. Krieger.....at all! Blah blah blah blah blah

A Poem to My Cold
Sniffles, sniffles everywhere
And not a tissue anywhere
I will not wipe it on my shirt
Not even in the dirt
( nothing to do with the poem but it's like an intermission..this is starting to sound like Dr.Seuss)
I don't want to wipe it on my friend
Because then my arm might break and bend
I am not to happy with the snot
Although that'd be cool in a knot
I am sad and grumpy everyday
So please cold, go away
You are my biggest enemy
And I always have to pee
They say to drink more liquids
But nothing rhymes with liquids
The Doctor will tell me to get some rest
But I think that my dad knows best
Vitamin C is the way to go
And that's what you need to do
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And not a tissue anywhere
I will not wipe it on my shirt

So today's blog is going to be in a much lighter mood than yesterday. I'm feeling a little bit better but still yucky. I want to talk about the effect the opposite sex has on people. I can't talk about this from a guys point of view seeing as though I am all girl here but I can see it from a girls point of view. Guys are very interesting beings. They can pee with out squatting, they can laugh at the dumbest jokes ever, but the most important thing is that they can look at you a certain way and you just know. You know that they like you and you obviously like them. I feel this way about someone and I'm about 99.9% sure they feel the same way. But here's my question. Why is nothing done about it? Why can't a guy say how he feels and the girl be like "Oh my gosh, I feel the same!" I have told this person how I feel about them and they say that they like me too, but neither of us want to be in a relationship. How can that be?!? I am completely boggled by this!! I'm pretty sure the only person that understands this as well as myself is Elise. I have told her about him and she is kind of in the same predicament. Guys are so great (most of the time....when they aren't a pain), but why can't they just admit how they feel? I mean I'm not trying to sound desperate but a certain date is approaching (May 17th...aka PROM) and the one kid I want to ask me, hasn't. He likes me but said it's too early to ask anyone. It's in 2 and a half months for Pete sake. All I'm saying is, guys need to grow some b@lls and ask a girl to prom. We don't have forever guys!!
As you can tell I got way off topic which I have a slight problem with so, moving on. Guys have certain looks they give girls which show that they are interested. For instance, doing the full body scan or the head nod. All of these qualify as being interested. For when they look at you and they talk to you, they just make your heart melt. Sure, around their friends they won't be like that because they have to be "tough" but when it's just you and him, the world seems to turn on its axis and just stop spinning all together. (I'm not sure if any of my fellow girls out there can relate but if so leave me a comment please.) When guys get into deep thought they really speak like they are reading it from a book. It's so sweet and just makes you feel so good inside. Ever look into a guys eyes? They have the most amazing eyes ever. The guy that I was talking about earlier has the most amazing blue eyes. They just make my heart want to melt. And when you stare into their eyes, you find yourself lost and agreeing with everything they say. I will give you a for instance. You and your guy are talking to each other during class and then the staring begins, but not the gawky staring, just looking into his b-e-a-utiful eyes. He starts to talk about a movie he saw that you don't like but you pretend you do, well because you like him. He's just a-talking away and he says "Oh my gosh!!! The part where the car smashes into the huge 18 wheeler was my favorite part and then the hot chick gets out and she has tiny shorts on....Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!" And then you say "That's my favorite too!!" Ooops....not good. Hey at least he thinks you have similar taste in movies. I think the eyes of a guy say it all. It tells you yes I'm interested or no. If a guy can look at you and talk that is good because he can keep contact and also multi task.
To sum up guys are amazing and just need to get the courage to ask a girl out already! What's a girl got to do, ask you herself? (I've tried this but am getting no luck. Pointers would be fab also especially from the gentlemen out there on how to handle a situation like this)

Under the Weather
So today I am pretty sick and don't feel good. At some moments I'm cold then I'm warm the next. Although my singing voice is in tact (kinda), I feel crummy and today I even pulled out the sweats and sweat shirt outfit. I had a cute outfit all ready to go and I had it on, but I wasn't feeling to great so I changed really fast and walked out the door. I hate being sick because I eat too much and I have to take yucky medicine and most of the time it doesn't even work. Today is kind of a bum day, so tomorrow or maybe even later, I will come back and post again. I hope I get better soon and anyone is welcome to bring me a nice hot cup of Italian Wedding soup, or if you can't get it hot Campbell's works as long as you heat it up for me.

Socks are fab!! (sometimes)
So I was thinking second period about socks for some reason. It got me thinking about all the different kinds of socks. There are ankle socks, knee high socks, toe socks, striped socks and all the other designs on socks you can possibly think of. There are socks with chickens, socks with polka dots...there are a million different kinds of socks. But I have two problems with socks, make that three. One, I always manage to lose one of the pair in the dryer. It's like the dryer eats them. I mean eat the lint dryer, not my socks. I need them. I get mad when that happens. And because I lose one, well that leads me to my next point. I can never find two of the same sock. I mean I try to find two similar socks but sometimes I get a white one and a black one because I need to get going because I'm rushed (always), so I grab two socks and they don't match. I hate that! My last problem with socks is that I hate them. I love the summer because I can wear flip flops. Socks are just an excuse to cover something else up. Don't get me wrong, I sure don't want my feet wet or dirty, but I hate wearing socks. I'm wearing them now but that's only because my feet are cold. I do have cute hot pink slipper socks which I love, but I'm just too lazy to get them. Oh, one more reason I hate socks....if you wear them to bed, you end up losing them because they fall off so when you rearrange your room, you find about 7 unmatching socks behind your bed. I'm an ankle sock person myself and I own mostly white socks but I was just wondering what kind of socks you all wear. Are toe socks your thing? Do you like colored socks? What do you like?
The Greatest High School Ever!!!
Well I surely cannot compete with Colin Rambo's sweet high schools around the globe, but I feel he wouldn't mind the high school I wish I was in. I think all high schools even the one's that Colin Rambo talks about, should have music! Music everywhere!!! Posters of new music and old music, from Fuel to Led Zeppelin. Music is so important in our lives. It speaks to us the way that no person/friend can speak to us. It gives us experiences that we can relate to and emotional attachment to those songs which help us to get through the bad times and live in the good times. Music is everywhere and I love it so much that I think there should be a music high school. Every class is learned in song (I think you math teachers out there could take a lesson, if you create a song about a topic, maybe I'll remember it for once). Teachers will have to be good at singing and the subject they are teaching. There are so many undercover singers out there that it shouldn't be too awfully hard to find teachers. Lessons can be sung to famous songs like "Money" or "We All Live in a Yellow Submarine." I would learn so much better because I love to sing, so lessons would be made easier. Also, if instruments were involved like a piano or guitar it would get the kids more involved. It would give them music skills and also the skills the state says are "necessary." I think that an all music school would be great and I would take part in it, DEFINITELY!!!

Stairway to Heaven
This song is probably one of the most peaceful songs I've heard. Led Zeppelin was amazing and this is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century. Listen to the guitar and how smooth it is and how his voice is absolutely perfect with this song. Even the words themselves are so calm and just make you relax.
Let me know what you think of this song (although it is very long, it is so worth listening to). Let me know who your favorite rock band is, and not new rock. CLASSIC ROCK! The rock that shaped music and gave meaning to songs!!

Where would you be?
I was trying to think of a million topics for this blog but nothing seemed better than talking about where I want to be in 10 years. I'll start by saying, in six years I hope to have my masters in elementary school teaching so I can get a job and teach kids. I hope to take my masters with me up to the Adirondacks and teach up there because I love it so much even though it's about 30 degrees colder up there. It's a small area and I love being there. I would love to get a cute cabin and live there and raise my kids there which leads me to my next point. I want to be married by the time I'm 25 and then have 2 kids shortly after. A boy and a girl or two boys I'm hoping. I could not handle two girls, but that's not up to me. I want my husband to have a job that pays pretty well so we can afford things that are necessary and also those luxury items. If this whole thing doesn't work out, living in the Adirondacks and all, I will stay here and have my family. I also would love to have a husky named Bailey. My main priority in ten years is my family. This is kind of the way I've always thought of my life happening. I don't have a plan B so if this doesn't go as I planned then I'm really not sure. Hopefully in about 2-3 years I find the one that I'm supposed to be with my entire life. Who knows they could be right in front of me or maybe I haven't met them yet. I don't want the generic husband, tall, dark, and handsome, although the handsome part would be key. I want a guy that has confidence in himself and is funny and that CARES. You don't find many guys that care and if you do they are your best friend, gay, or already taken,and I'm not going to be held responsible for breaking up a relationship. No way!! I want a guy that loves music and much as me and that has a great time anywhere. I don't want to sit home every night and watch ESPN. Let's go out and have fun! I've always wanted to go on a picnic with a guy (oh my gosh...this is starting to sound like a dating service ad). All I want is a guy that has a good time and doesn't watch ESPN like it's their religion. I love sports and all, but in moderation. I hope my kids are cute too!?! I want to focus on my career after college and then settle down with a family.

Evolution!!
This is really cool how Judson Laipply dances and makes each move flow into the next. It's pretty funny but not as funny as dancer face (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XqeuntGwJNk). I think it does a very good job at showing how dance has changed over the years. Check it out!!
Graduation!!!
Ok, so when I woke up this morning I was at my friend Megan's house and Jess Miller was there too, and Megan randomly said we graduate in about 3 and a half months. It's so shocking to hear that because this year has gone by so fast and a lot has happened during this year. I'm really sad too because my friends will be separated and we won't see eachother as much. We are all going to college and starting our separarte lives. I'm also really excited because I wont ever have to do another swimming unit in gym class ever again!!! That also means no more drama too!!! So for all you girls who start that, you only have a small time frame left to finish that. I can't wait to start college, although I am going to Front Street High (aka BCC). I'm really looking forward to learning all that I need to know to become a teacher. OH EIGHT SENIORS!!!!!!!!

Chocolate Dreams!
So I have been craving chocolate for the past few days and just got to thinking about how awesome it would be to have a dream about chocolate. Everything is chocolate! If you are having a dream about a guy, he would be made of chocolate. If you are in a pool in your dream, you would be swimming in chocolate. I think this kind of dream would be delish!!! I would be so much happier if my dreams and the objects in them were made of chocolate. I love chocolate but not white chocolate because it just tastes different and I don't like dark chocolate at all because it just is plain gross. So I guess my only other choice is milk. Ohhh....it's so creamy and luxurious and I'm getting so pumped up thinking about it!!! It just makes you happy. If you're having a rough day, it cheers you up and it gets you through THAT time of the month. Chocolate is the greatest gift to this earth (besides Tim of course!!) !! Eat it and be happy.
What do you think of chocolate dreams? and What is your favorite kind of chocolate?

Phone for sale for $60
So i have officially turned off my cell phone because I couldn't afford every month to pay my exes parents 100+ dollars to keep it on. I have decided to sell it and possibly get some money for it. It has scratches and has been dropped several times (I'll be honest) but it is still in fairly good condition. These phones now go for $79.99 but I am willing to sell it for $50-$60. If you are interested let me know at school or leave a comment. I figured since a lot of you are blogging whores I would attempt to sell it. Let me know!!!
Prom???
So I have been thinking a lot lately about prom and came to the conclusion that no one will ask me. This is sad as you can see :( I want to go with a certain someone but we have a different group of friends so I don't think that will work very well. Him and I talk a lot and he is so nice and fun to be with and we have a lot in common. I have also talked with my guitar/piano teacher and she wants to hook me up with one of the kids she coaches. His name is Mike. From what I hear he is super funny and really nice. She is a swimming and diving coach at Vestal (boo) and I'm assuming this guy has a nice bod because he swims. She also wants to set up my friend with his friend J.P. His real name is Jeremy. I hope this works because no one is going to ask me and if I did really want to go with my first choice that would be so much better because he is so nice and we've hung out before and I know him and I like him a lot but the fact that we have different friends is really hard. What should I do??? Should I see if the kid I'm kid I'm getting set up with is nice or should I take the risk and go with my really good friend?

Seriously???....the Dolphins??
Here's a question??? I'm going to start with that. Leave a comment if you are a Dolphins fan. I have a friend at work, Nick, who is the biggest Dolphins fan I know. He had everything dolphins from sneakers (which I didn't even know they made) to a key chain, a jersey and I'm sure a bunch of other stuff. Why would you spend your money on that? Anyway, they won one game....YES ONE!!! They are probably, in my opinion, the worst team in the league and I know I'm going to get busted for this because I know Nick is going to read this but oh well...It's true they are so bad!! I think our High School football team could play better than them. And who won the Superbowl??? The GIANTS!!! That's right not the Patriots Nick, but the Giants!! haha I honestly don't think that they should have a team but that's just me. I even on a Valentine's Day card wrote Dolphins #1 on it...but I definitely didn't mean it. If you like or love the Dolphins as much as Nick, I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but get at me with some comments. I'd love to know who your favorite team is!!!
Pennies Pennies Everywhere....and no where to spend them
So i was just reading a blog done by Liza and she was talking about how she had many many many things in her purse. But as I was reading I came across good old Mr. Lincoln and how he is no use in a vending machine. Well this is very true. Why can't you use pennies in vending machines? I also have a billion pennies and no place for them. Yea they can add up to make 5, 10, even 47 cents, but I don't want to carry them around forever. I don't shop enough to spend them. And even if I did that, I can only use so many. I mean yea, sometimes you get the total to magically be $8.01 or $6.43 but why can't I buy a freaking bag of Chex Mix for $0.55 with my pennies? I should be able to throw as many pennies as I want in there and get my food. If I can't use them in a vending machine, why even have them around? Why bother making my wallet weigh more than it needs to with a load of pennies? I sure hope some day I can spend my pennies in a vending machine, but for now every time I get some back I will just toss them back to the cashier to keep.
SUBTOPIC: What is with all the Canadian change we have here in AMERICA????? I really hope Bshaves reads this and helps me to better understand since he loves America, and I also hope he agrees with me on this. Canadian coins are meant to be in Canada, not here because again they don't work in the vending machine. Scenario: You're all pumped up to get a Mango Madness Snapple and you have your three quarters ready to go and you get to the machine and you're like "Yes!! I love this stuff!!! It's made from the best STUFF on Earth." You put the first quarter in and it falls into the other pile of change in the machine, then you put the second one in and again it falls into that pile of change (which by the way I would love to have all that change...story for another time), then you put that last quarter in and
My question to you: What should be done with pennies and should we be able to use them in vending machines? and any complaints on either topic is fine because I am very curious to hear what you have to say......

Please Remember
So for about two weeks I have been looking for a song for the talent show and I think I found the perfect one. It's about remembering all the good times you have and even though you go separate ways you will always have the memories and the good times. I thought this was the perfect senior song because we are all going our separate ways going to college and all and we have the memories of Friday night football games, and going to the tea house, and all the fun parts of high school. We help each other through it all and although its tough, we get through it. I am hopefully going to be singing with Heather DeGroat again but we'll see. Two years ago we sang "Before He Cheats" which was a huge hit so hopefully this is just as good. I have ordered the CD and will be getting it soon.
The talent show is April 9th. You should come and see it. I may cry during the performance because the song is all about memories, but it'll be good I swear. I'm so excited!!!

No 21st Birthday
So today is Phil Diaferio's 21st birthday. He should be celebrating with his friends and family but he's at the cemetery. He's been there since November and will be there for a really long time. He died on the 24th of November 2007 and today is his 21st birthday. He was driving with a few of his friends but they were going too fast and Phil had been drinking and they crashed into a guardrail right after Twist Run. It was also really slippery which also caused the car to crash. The day of the funeral was a horrible day because my best friend lost her brother and her parents lost their son. He was also in Iraq which to me seemed really ironic because he could have died there but instead it was here. I couldn't imagine hearing that my brother/son died. I heard about it really soon. I was with Kate, my best friend, and she had dropped me off and about an hour later, called me to say her brother died in an accident. It was so shocking but it's what God had planned for him. I have placed flowers near the accident scene many times and visited him at the cemetery. I never met him but just from the pictures I saw and the things I heard about him, he was a great kid, brother, and son.
Happy 21st Birthday Philly! I hope you have a great birthday up there.....
Phil,
Please keep Kate safe and I know you're looking down on us.
*If you find a penny heads up, keep it because it's Philly just saying hello*

The joy of having a younger sister!!
So I was writing this and listened to my sister being a pain in the butt. She is so annoying and has no sense of what is right and wrong. She thinks she is basically Pairs Hilton and thinks she can do what ever she wants and whenever. She takes after my mom a lot so my mom lets her do more because they are alike. Both of them are skinny and have a bad attitude. I feel left out a lot and like they team up on me. She thinks she can get what she wants. She is doing it right now to my dad. She is trying to get my dad to take her all over God's creation so she can get new games for her wii. I'm not sure what else to say except that my sister is a huge pain in the ass and oh did I mention she is younger so my lets her do soooo much more. If you have a younger sibling, what do you think about them? If you are the younger sibling, why are you so annoying? What's your side of the story?

The Apology
So the other day I was reading a fellow bloggers blog, and figured out it was about me. I felt really bad about the whole thing and I want to apologize for hurting that person. They are my really good friends and I hope we still have that. I had a lot of fun over the break hanging out with them and I hope we can still do that. This probably doesn't change much and every time I hear "Shadow of the Day" I think of them. I'm sooooo sorry for the change of heart and just wanted to let them know that they are such a good friend to me and I want to thank them for making sure I was feeling ok on Monday. Thank you! This person has a C in their name. haha
Adrien Jon Bongiorno
So this is my new cousin. His name is Adrien Jon Bongiorno. It doesn't get more Italian than that. Funny thing is that my actual cousin, Christian is mostly Italian and his wife, Viola is right off the plane from Poland. Funny combo huh? I sure thought so. How they met was kinda cute. They met while she was doing a camp thing and he taught her to speak better English and some Italian. She is the sweetest person I know and I love my cousin too. The only thing is I don't think I will ever be able to babysit Adrien because they live in Washington state now. My cousin works for a huge computer company. Before Adrien came they lived in Washington D.C. I rarely saw them and now it's even harder. My dad told me tonight that Viola said that American food makes her sick because she's not used to it so they may be moving to Europe somewhere. I mean how can you be sick of American food? There are plenty of foods to eat that won't make you sick. And my aunt is very sad because this is her first grandchild and probably her only for a really long time because my one cousin can't keep a guy and the other one is gay, but now they are leaving her. I hope this all works and I can at least meet little Adrien. I just hope my kids are this adorable! Can't wait to meet you little guy!
Jumper
So last night I went to the third movie this week. Earlier this week I went to the eye (see posting below) and I went to enchanted (cute for kids) with one of my really good friends. But yesterday I went to go see Jumper and I must say it was pretty good. The effects were insane and Hayden Christensen is sooooo hot despite his bad acting. Rachel Bilson was also in the movie and she was pretty good and I loved her characters sense of sarcasm and her style. There was a guy in the movie that also had the jumper qualities and he was from Britain. His accent and just his funniness was definitely a plus in the movie. He was so crazy and those crazy Brits always make a movie better! He even drove a Mercedes through a glass window in his little hole! Like I said the effects were awesome! I would recommend you see it because it does get pretty exciting!

WHAT!?!
I'm sorry that my post of puddle of mudd was posted three times. I was having trouble with it and for some reason it did that...I'll be back later with an actual post
Puddle Of Mudd
*** This blog contains some vulgar language so if easily offended, don't read***
So tonight I went to the greatest concert I have ever been to!!!! Sure there were a lot of wannabe rockers and some freaks, but the bands were amazing! The two bands before Puddle of Mudd were fricken awesome! They were completely different but so fricken awesome!!! That's the only word to describe them! So the first band I rocked out to and I thought from the picture I saw of the second band I was gonna be so scared, but their music made my heart go a million times a second. The bass was fucking sick and omg they were scary but again AWESOME!!! So then Puddle of Mudd came on and I rocked out. There were some people that really pissed me off like this like 400 pound guy trying to dance and he kept squishing me. So I pushed him away and called him a fuckin douche. I didn't let that ruin my night though. Two of my really good guy friends Don Faghn and Mike Carroll were there and I was so happy I knew somebody. They were also really protective of me which was nice cuz there were some crazy drunks there and they were scaring me and pushing me since I'm so small. Donnie even let me sit on his shoulders to see better (thanks Donnie). This one guy was so drunk he was on his hands and knees trying to get by people to get closer. He was also trying to dance...I was laughing so hard! At this point I wanted to dance so I grabbed Mike and we danced for the rest of the night. One of the times I turned around and Donnie was gone. I was like uh oh.... don't worry we found him in one piece. Mike and I were dancing and I looked over to find a bunch of people fighting each other and I turned to Mike and I go "I wonder if Donnie's in there?" Well after the whole thing ended and I was hard of hearing we found Donnie with a bloody lip. I was like "Are you ok?" And he goes "That was so amazing! A guy just clothes lined me!" Well now I know to get a bloody lip next time at a concert because Donnie got a free tee shirt!!!! But all and all I had a great fuckin time and I got to hang out with the two coolest guys ever! Puddle of Mudd ROCKS!!!!
p.s. sorry Mrs. Krieger for the swearing :(

My Dream Vacation
My Dream vacation would be just to take a drive up North to a little town called Old Forge. It's a quiet town with lots of friendly people. In the winter, you can hear the snow mobiles all around. They even have snow mobile crossings! In town they have little shops owned by the people there. They have really cute, woodsy stuff. During the summer you can go to the water park for the day (question:why are water parks so expensive?) and you can ride the rides and its really cool because you are in the middle of mountains and trees but its cozy. I love camping up there! And not in an RV or a cabin...like a tent and that's it. Hiking isn't my forte but I like going out and seeing things and taking pictures to always have that moment. The best part about the Adirondacks is a little restaurant called the old mill. It was a old mill a long time ago that was converted into a cozy restaurant. They serve everything from fish to pork chops the size of my face and I'm not kidding and you get two of them! My favorite part of that restaurant is the soup. Omg their soup is amazing! They have a few different kinds so you don't know what your gonna get. One time I even asked for a little extra soup for dessert! I love the Adirondacks and would love to live there when I'm older! It so great and the scenery is just breath taking! You must see it for yourself!
I will have another blog later tonight with the updates on the Puddle of Mudd Concert...stay tuned

Dream Job
my dream job is to be an elementary school teacher. I've always loved kids and wanted to help them be better students but people as well. I want to teach fifth grade because they aren't as immature as fourth graders and aren't as moody as sixth graders. It doesn't sound like much but that's my dream job...To be the best teacher I can!
P.S. I'd love to teach in the Adirondack's because I love it so much up there!!!

The Eye
So last night I got home from work, put some gas in the car, and then was picked up by my friend, Derick Struble to go to a movie. We were going to see the eye. I had heard it was weird and that it was a little scary so I expected the worst. I'm not really one for scary movies but I thought what the hey...I'll go. So we got there (half and hour early or more) so we decided to flip a coin where to go before...heads was walmart and tails was walmart so it landed tails and we went to walmart. We walked around aimlessly for awhile and then decided to go back. We were still a little early so we watched the previews (fyi there are no new good movies coming out). We saw this one where they were trying to contain a plague like virus and it looked good up until they showed the future of what happened. There were high speed car races and all this crazy stuff that had nothing to do with any illness. Anyway, we sat through 15 minutes of previews and then the movie started. It was ok for awhile until the intense music freaked me out because I knew something scary was going to happen. It also didn't help that Derick kept going "boo" and freaking me out more. What I didn't tell you is that I went to the movie with a head ache and it got progressively worse through out the movie. So after about an hour and a half of being scared we left. I really wasn't feeling all that well so Derick asked me if I wanted to get some food. I was like sure. We ended up at Skylark Diner where all the freaks hang out late at night. Even the people that work there scare me. Anyway, I ordered breakfast and I felt so sick that I had the glass of water on my head to prevent it from hurting. I felt not very well inside so when we got our food I cut a piece of egg off and ate it only to feel even worse. So as Derick ate his French Toast, I sat there holding my head in my hands. I had really never had a head ache like this before. I got a box for my food and Derick made sure I was ok and took me home. All the way home I tried to close my eyes so the pain would go away. Well I got home, thanked him for everything (I think he is the only guy in the world willing to pay for dinner and a movie), and I walked in my house. I didn't have any bad dreams about weird shadow things coming to get me, so I guess that's a good thing. I will never watch that movie again and good news I feel a lot better. I did eat my breakfast from last night, this morning...just in case you were wondering.

blah blah blah
So as I sat here eating my shrimp and green beans for lunch (yummy) i began to think of what my plans were for the day. So far I have spent 2 hours at the gym working on my 12 pack (not) and then i had to borrow money from my friend for gas so I could make it work later. Then come to find out my phone is low on minutes which means I can only use it a few times cuz I have to Top Up. I mean I feel great about going to the gym so long but I have to wait until Thursday to put more minutes on my phone...bcuz that's when I get paid. Hmmm....well I know this was a bunch of random stuff put into today...but when I get back from work I will do another one because this is just crapola. Peace!!

Music in our lives
So I'm taking this class called Music in Our Lives. It's a great class to see how music is incorporated into our everyday lives. It got me thinking about all the songs I listen to on an everyday basis. Most of the music I listen to now is rock like on 92.5 but I listen to a variety of different types of music such a pop, country and a bunch of other things. I don't know who gave Paris Hilton a recording contract but who ever it was should be banned from entering heaven when they die. I love music and I am so passionate about the meaning of songs. Some people know the words to a song but don't know the meaning and that is the whole point to a song...it's the artist's way of conveying how they felt at a certain point. Music doesn't even have to contain lyrics or instruments...and you may ask me "well how is it music without all that?" Well music is a series of vibrations so anything can be music...from my nails clicking on the keyboard to the opening of a water bottle. It all depends on what you perceive as music. We listened to this song in class called 4 minutes and 33 seconds and it was a great song. It was well 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence but it wasn't even silence..it was all the noises that happened in that time period...some of which were pencil's writing, the sniffling of noses, and the movement of feet. It was so interesting to think that just simple sounds are music to some. I love this class a lot! It has taught me a lot in the almost month that I have been in it. What are you music choices? What do you consider music? How is it used in your everyday life? Think about these questions and get back to me.

What is a class couple?
A class couple is two people of their own sexual preference being together and the entire class voting them as basically the ideal couple. Well for one, Paul and I are no longer dating so we should have not even been considered, but since no one can get over that fact, we were written down to my knowledge several times. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against him but we are NOT dating anymore so why are we being even nominated. Sure we dated for 4 years and 5 months but we ended our relationship last june. I feel that him and I got a divorce and the other 200 kids in our class were our children and we had to break it to them that it was over. We aren't getting back together but we remain good friends. I still talk to him family and I love them a lot but I just needed a moment to vent about the fact that we could be crowned class couple and we won't even be dating. I understand that the other couples in our grade have not been dating that long and they fight and break up everyday but at least vote for someone that is still together. Our relationship looked good but we had our share of problems. We just didn't flaunt them like some couples in our grade do (not naming names). I have a feeling if we do get it the picture could go two ways...1) we could do a dorky picture and make a joke out of it or 2)we can not take a picture at all. No one considers what we will have to go through because of all this. We are not dating and no gets that we have feelings too, and you may make our (him and me) relationship worse. Now that the papers are in you won't be able to go back but seriously GET OVER IT. PEOPLE BREAK UP. WE ARE OVER IT AND SO SHOULD YOU!
Molto Bella!!!
So as I sat here trying to think of what to write about, I was also eating. To my right was a bowl of pasta salad that I had made yesterday. I must say that my pasta salad is delish!!! I stared into the bowl of multi colored food and thought.."Pasta! I will write about pasta!"
As I watched this, it made me think of how many different kinds of pasta there were. You have your long pasta like spaghetti, you have your short pasta like bow ties and you have little tiny pasta like pastina. I love pasta a lot and there are soooo many things you can do with it. You can make pasta or macaroni salad. You can make lasagna. You can have it as a side or as a whole meal. There are so many things to do with pasta, it's hard to imagine. If you have any good recipes for pasta, leave them here and I'd love to try them out!!!

What is this thing on my face?
well today i felt as though it was a day just to mourn for awhile...two blogs is the way to go!!! I woke up this morning and felt like I had gotten burned by my eyebrow which would be understandable because i went tanning so i could've gotten burned. Anyhow, I woke up and jumped in the shower and cranked dat hot water. I felt my stomach was burned and sure enough it was so i thought i had just burned my face..I got out of the shower (even though i didn't want to cuz it was so amazingly warm)...i looked in the mirror and found a little friend on my forehead...now my friend looked like he/she was sitting pretty on my face so i didn't want to disturb it...so i left it alone..(if this is freaking you out as well i'm sorrry)...anyway so i scrunched my hair and every time i moved around it hurt. well i started to do my makeup and decided you're not going to ruin my day little guy, so i began to cover him up (and thank all that is good in this world for bangs because it covered it pretty well, even though it still hurt like a mother)..anyway i was covering it up and i was so sad that i think it knew that and stop hiding behind the makeup....darn you.....well i gave up on all that and said "you stupid acne problem, you may hurt me but you're not gonna ruin my day." So off I went to school only to find that when I got home from school it was much more noticeable than earlier....acne must die!!!!
(I'm sure the stress and sweating and the gym didn't help the clogging of the pores on my face)
(sorry for a little too much info, but thought you should know)

What a gift?!
So this girl named Jill* that I have math with and who sits in front of me was talking to me. Well one of the other girls in the class got moved because she couldn't concentrate...well duh...don't put her next to me....i talk too much...anyways they were talking about valentines day and all that mush when i realized a purple mark on the upper lip of Jill. She asked me if I could see it and I go "well yeah...what did you eat a purple lollipop?" She goes "No i got it from a guy." You mean to tell me a guy sucked your lip and made it look as though you had either gotten punched in the lip or had eaten a grape lollipop!!!!! Well today I found out who it was. This kid George* that I had gone to elementary school with had planted your basic hickey on this girls lip. I started to laugh and she goes "We are dating!" I was so speechless that I just smiled.
Question: Why do guys have to leave their mark on a girl. That's almost as bad as an animal peeing on a tree to claim it. Like seriously, girls are not property, so wtf?!

What is Valentines Day?
Valentine Day –noun February 14, observed in honor of St. Valentine as a day for the exchange of valentines and other tokens of affection.
Well I feel that this holiday is not very good if you don't have someone to give gifts to. My cousin calls it Singles Awareness Day. I thought this was funny because it is true. If you are single, it just glorifies the fact that you are in fact alone. So I felt it was my duty to find stuff to do when you are single on Valentine's day.
I had plans for Valentine's Day but they kind of caved when the guy bailed on me, but anyway...
The first thing I did was went to get my paycheck like I do every Thursday. Then to give the gift of fitness, I took myself to a little place called the gym. It's great if you're alone because you can check out all the other people that are there, who are also single. There are some hot guys there. Then I went to my place of employment and chatted it up with some of my fellow employees for awhile until I felt I had annoyed them enough. I dropped some things off at a couple of friends house and headed home. Now I am writing this blog, talking about what to do on Valentine's Day if you're single.
See!! Even if you don't have a special someone to treat, you can always treat yourself. To all you couples out there...keep the gifts cheap because it will come back to bite you....believe me.

I've come to a conclusion
So as I was writing this blog..I found myself talking to someone online about what to write about. They said write about me...so that's what my blog is on.
The first thing I would like to say about this individual is that they are normally very reserved and quiet. At school they sit back and watch everyone...although the occasional laugh occurs.
I have also played a game with him which I found I am not really good at. It's called "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" Apparently I am not smarter that a fifth grader. We have played several times and I have never beat it with him. I am really good at the music questions though.
This person is very different when you talk to him on the computer. One minute he acts like he is 12 and the next he is nice and helps you with problems. Today we had a very long chat that lasted well more than 3 hours.
I also found as I was writing this, I have trouble spelling his name. It's DeriCk StruBle. I found it difficult to remember that.
I am happy to say that I am talking to about Derick Struble. He is a good kid and a great friend.
If you are reading this DeriCk...you're welcome..... :)

I question them sometimes
Today and even yesterday I felt as though all my friends were talking smack about me. I found this really sad because they were doing it right in front of me. They would tell each other stuff and look at me when they said it. One of my friends I call "love" and apparently she told my other really good friend who didn't say anything about me, that she is sick of me and not to call her that. I was truly offended because I thought "I have been nothing but nice to you, so what the hell did I do?" Well this has also taught me a very good lesson at the same time...make that two good lessons...looks are deceiving and not to talk about others...because you will get it back....Karma's a bitch. I am just really upset because I did nothing to them...and I get talked about. What is that about?
Elise's laugh
This thing that Elise does has been occurring for some time but I thought I would bring it up now. Usually at lunch we are sitting there and Elise will say something uber funny and we will all laugh...but she doesn't stop. I mean we all have our known laughs and mine can be heard anywhere but sometimes and its mostly at lunch if you get Elise to laugh really hard she will do this thing and the only way to describe it is a choking dolphin. We all point and laugh and it makes for a great time at lunch. Oh and before I forget she also does this thing where she is going to laugh and she goes HAAAAAA...and her mouth looks like she is going to eat you...Oh Elise..the laughs we get from you!!!!

Anything to write about!?
So i went to work today and i was kind of excited...and you're probably thinking "you were excited to work?"...well to answer your question yes!! Tara and I had a little surprise for one of the kids we work with. His name is Nick. He knew something was going to happen but had no idea what. Tara and I had made a basket full of his favorite things. We knew these were his favorite things because we are smart and were asking each other last monday what our favorite things were and we would ask him too each time. So anyways, we waited for the perfect time and then he asked us "so when is this gonna happen?"...and we go "oh not today." well he looked very sad so when he didn't expect it we asked him if we could borrow him and took him into our managers office where he found a hot pink card and tons of candy and treats. We got a lot of thank yous and hugs. I felt like I had made someone really happy and it made me happy!!! Happy Valentines Day in 3 days!!!
