Entry #9 - How I Spent Spring Break

During my spring break, I did almost nothing. I woke up, hung out, and went back to sleep.

Friday, the first day of break, I was at home and babysat my siblings for the day. I didn’t have any plans for the night so I spent it at home.

Saturday, my dad left for the Ozarks which I was mad about because since he was going down with 3 other old dads, we weren’t able to have a vacation and go down there. So, that kinda put me in a bad mood.

Sunday, we didn’t really do all that much. I helped my mom with lunch and then went downstairs and watched movies.

Monday: My mom, my brothers, and me went to the last redbird boys basketball game of the season because It was game two of their playoffs so that was pretty exciting.

Tuesday-Wed.: I basically did the same thing. I woke up, went and made cinni-bites for me and my siblings because I was babysitting them…AGAIN!!!! I would watch a movie or watch the tv is something good was one. Wednesday, I went to youth at 7:00. It was over at the old elementary school gym. Sarah also had her surgery that day so while I was walking over to the school, I called her house and talked with her dad to make sure it had gone ok. It had so that gave me some relief.

Thrusday: I went over to my cousins’ house for the day. Calvin is my actual cousin, but I like his wife a lot better than him so I disown him (:phaha!). So, I went to the mall with Jen and their little 3 year old girl, Addi. After that, Calvin got off work so he came to get Addi so that Jen and I could have some time apart from her. We then, went to Olive Garden and Jen’s mom came to join us. After that, we went back to their house and watching I Am Legend.

Friday- My mom came to pick me up from Cal & Jen’s. I went to go check on Sarah. I also got to see her prom dress, which by the way is so cute and I’m very jealous of it. I then went out to a movie with my mom and siblings.

Saturday was very, very boring. Dad came home though so that was good.

Sunday: (was amazing) First, I went to church and that’s always fun. After that, Kim took the girls out for lunch and a movie. We got to eat at Olive Garden, which was where Andrea, Delaney, and I had virgin strawberry daquris. They were amazing. We then went to go see 27 Dresses which was pretty good but not my favorite. Andrea and I would laugh at some parts and we were the only ones laughing so we felt stupid. After the movie, Kim took us out to Cold Stone Creamery. I got what I always get, Our Strawberry Blonde. It is freakin amazing. When I got home, I was sad because I realized that I had school today and so that was basically, in a nut shell, my break :]

Entry #8 -Pick an Unused Topic - Time Travel

If I could go back to any time period before this one, it would probably the Renaissance period. (Credits to Abbey for thinking of this.) There was so many dresses to choose from. The dresses weren’t like hooker outfits. They were poofy dresses that covered the whole body. Right now, I don’t like wearing dresses because they all look so trampy and short. I don’t know how people get though an hour with wearing the dresses we have now.
Anyways, if we were to go back in time to then, I would go watch the amazing painters at work and try to learn their ways on how they think of what they want to paint and how they made the paint back then because they didn’t have the resources that we have now. They always had fun without the technology we have today and so I think it would be fun if they taught us some of the games or activates they played back then. I would’ve liked to meet Davincie, the famous painter.
One of my favorite movies is based on that time period. It’s called Ever After. It’s a Cinderella story from that time period. The painter that I talked about earlier was acted out in the movie also and he seemed like a very good guy to be around and would help anyone if they needed it. However, if I did go back then to the time period, I wouldn’t like to be around the king or queen’s because they just made trouble for the people living there. I just guess it all depends on how you think about the trip.

Entry #7 - Analysis of Being Frightened

In my life, I have been scared many times. I can only remember a few though. I’ve almost been in a car accident. I was riding with my friend and there was a gas truck hanging out the edge of a driveway and he was being stupid and pulling his hands off the wheel. I got his attention and he took back the wheel before we ran into it.
Scary movies scare the crap outta me. Sometimes, I still can’t get to sleep after I watch them. The last one I watched was called rest stop and it was about this couple that had gone all the way with their relationship, if ya know what I mean, and so they stop at a run-down rest stop and the girl gets out of the car to go to the bathroom and when she comes back, her boyfriend & his car is gone. There’s a guy that’s following her around. After that part of the movie, I got a little freaked out so I went upstairs and watched basketball.
Every time I was scared I was always alone and I never felt good afterwards. With the almost-car accident, I couldn’t eat anything at steak n’ shake when we got there. After the scary movie, & I didn’t even watch it all, I got freaked out and didn’t eat anything for a while and puked but it was probably because I watched that movie at a party and I had ate a lot of pizza rolls before the movie.
I don’t really like to scare others all the much. If I do, it’s just little things.

Entry #6 - The Perfect Day

The perfect day would be a Monday. I would wake up down in the Ozarks at my parent’s condo with a bunch of my friends. I would wake up, walk out to the kitchen, heat up some milk and pour the hot chocolate mix into it. Once I had my drink ready, I would turn on the burner on the stove because it’s weird like that.
I would walk out onto the deck to a warm sunny day waiting for me. My guests would still be sleeping because I wake up so early no matter how hard I try not to. I would sit out on the deck and watch all the early morning skiers that were out. I would see new skiers out learning and I would see parents out there trying to be cool and show off to their kids and the kids would be trying to sleep at the top of the boat. I would sit and crack a smile. You would watch the couples going out for their morning jog/ walk. Some would even have their dogs with them. After a while, I would go back inside to start breakfast: French toast, eggs, bacon, and just about any beverage possible. The smell of it all would wake everyone else up and they would all walk out to the kitchen and it would seem like they were all zombies. They would grab the cubs of coffee all ready for them on the edge of the table, sit down in the chairs and slowly bring on a conversation. They would be like this until I set their food in front of them. After we ate, we would go down and sit by the pool to get our morning color. When our food digested, we would go out on the boat and find some little cove off to the side on the other side of the lake. We would lay out around the boat until our music ended and that told us that it would be time to go back. We would swim for a little bit, then run upstairs, get ready, then go out to eat for lunch. Going out to eat for lunch was like waking up down there so there would always be places packed. Some mornings the little diners would be full and sometimes Culvers, McDonald’s and etc. would be packed it just depended on the day.
After we would eat, we’d go shopping for the afternoon at the outlet mall down there. Spend all the money that our parents gave us and then drive back to the condo. We would take turns going in groups out on the jet-ski. For supper, we would all get on the boat and drive that to Shooters 21. We’d hang out there and eat, and on the way back we would ski whoever wanted to. We would then run back up to the condo and watch a movie before we all fell asleep. We would all be in a great mood because we knew that we would be able to do the same thin, if we wanted to, over and over again for the rest of the week.
