Some More Extreme Ramblin'

My school picture actually turned out good! My smile turned out kind of crooked (not my teeth, my smile/lips) but whatev. Nobody's perfect.

This year, I actually put on some make up. Last year's pic looked so plain. So, I just put on a little mascara and blush and away I went! It's amazing how much of a difference a small amount (very small in my case) of make up can do!

I wore these blue jeans that had a hint of gray in them, so my outfit wasn't so bad. Still though, I'd like to get my hands on some gray jeans!!

I saw one of my super good friends that I haven't seen in....forever (if you count 2 months as forever)! Learned she got a new kitten since her other cat passed away not so long ago (rest in peace, Tiger). Awww....her kitten sounds soooo cute! Next to baby bunnies and puppies, kittens are the cutest things. Sucks how they grow so fast, though. Good to see her again! Wish my whole group of super good friends were there....that would've been awesome and we would've been there the whole night talkin', regardless of where we were :)

I really need to get going on my biking again. I haven't been biking or excercising OR running for a week and I feel so....ashamed of myself. Like, if I don't excercise, I'm letting my body down (in a way, I am). There's this show my mom watches called 'Dr. Oz' and he says that, 'To live a healthy and happy life, you need to give your heart a reason to keep beating.' I find this sooo true. And I have been giving my heart reasons: Family, pets, friends, hobbies. But what I haven't been doing is keeping it healthy and fit. So, starting Sunday (I can't tomorrow. Have something going on) I'm gonna excercise, bike and run and NOT give up or stop. I'm gonna do those during the school year, too. I found out, from the past week, that I don't like sitting around. I love exercise. I love the feeling of sweat running down my face. I love that exercise 'pain' that you get when you do a lot of sit ups or you get muscle pains the day after a really good workout. And I love reaching my goals, no matter how small!

I've also been waking up late the past week. Really late. Like, 11:00/11:30 in the morning late. I don't like the feeling of waking up around lunch time. I feel like I've wasted my day. So, I have to make some sacrifices. No more staying up till 11:00 watching 'Friends.' I love that show soooo much!! AMAZING show! I'll have to get the seasons on DVD. I don't care how expensive they are, I'm buying them with my own money!!

And no more staying up late reading, drawing or looking through old Seventeen magazines. I am a night owl, though. So, Friday and Saturday nights are a good excuse. Oh, and I also love watching Letterman, Jay Leno, and Jimmy Fallon sometimes. *Sigh*

I also like staying up late 'cause (this might sound weird) but, in a way, I think it's my way of 'holding' onto that day. I hate it when a day passes (unless it's a really bad day) and these summer days seemed to have slipped through my fingers. I guess I try to make the most of that day until the very last seconds (literally). But, I know everything has to come to an end. I have to start realizing this. Then maybe I can let go of some things and start welcoming the dawn.

So tomorrow, I'm going to one of my friend's church to help out with their carnival. We're in charge of the duck pond game. One of us has to be in the pool (which I really want to do) and one of us has to be on the outside of the pool/grass. It should be fun. She called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to go earlier. See, if we got there at 9:00 am and helped set up, we'd get free doughnuts and pizza for breakfeast AND lunch! I was like, "YES!" Instead of going there at 12:30, not helping set up and getting no free food. When it comes to free food, I'm in!! YUMMY!! Lookin' forward to some free doughnuts!!
