My Birthday Party!

Here are some amazing pictures from my birthday party.
I was allowed to invite a few friends over for my birthday...so anyway, enjoy!! :)

PICTURE #1: We all played the advanced version of "house", I guess. We created a whole town with shopekeeprs, a bank, robbers (lol!), a jail, a mayor, policewoman, etc. Left to right: Chaunicie, Jordan, Mahala, Megan, Rachelle, Rylie, and Rebekkah.


Here's the next picture. I got my ears pierced & hair cut that day (before my b-day party), so here's how I look now...


I wonder if I could post a video...I don't know, let me try...okay, it works, but it's taking a very long time for load a 3-second short.

In this video, I think we were playing "Truth or Dare"; I don't know.

Well anyway, THANKS FOR READING!!!!

American Idol - What I Think

So I know that we're already down in the top 2, but I just wanted to make it known what I think about the Top 5. (by the way, I don't know who made it to the top 2, so DON'T TELL ME!)

My opinion of who will win American Idol season 8? Well, I'll use a list...


~ Danny Gokey: I love this guy (well, as a singer...you know what I mean!). He's definitley got a great voice & I think can touch people through his songs. I don't think he'll win, but my prediction is that he'll be in the Top 3.

~ Matt Whatever-His-Last-Name-Is: Okay, now WHY did he make it into the Top 5? That's just nuts! In my opinion, he didn't sound great at all Tuesday night. Simon was right: Matt was too desperate. But oh well, maybe he'll surprise me.

~ Kris Allen: Great singer! At first I thought he was kind of lame, but that guy can sing!

~ Allison Iraheta: I was sad that she got voted off. :( I wanted her in the top 2, but oh well. She's sure to get a recording contract very soon!

~ Adam Lambert: I predict that Adam will win. Not that I want him to...his screaming is grating on me. Rylie really wants Adam to win, but if she knew what he was really like, then she probably would love to see him get voted off.

What Does One Do? (If Blogger isn't working!!)

So I'm creating a new poll and then I post it on my blog and THEN Blogger says, "Uh, sorry, dude - but this page isn't available so nobody can vote on your poll! Too bad, so sad...deal with it, dude!" (Okay, so it wasn't exactly like that...but still!)

Anyway, maybe I'll just make my own poll here. What color do you like the best (just leave a comment w/ your answer. Don't be scared; leaving a comment isn't that bad! :) lol)

Lilac purple

Aquamarine teal

Pine green

Ocean blue

Ruby red

Black...uh, black :)

My 50th Post!!

Let's all celebrate - this is my 50th post!!
Today I sat outside on our hammock (ahh...I love that hammock. Most of you have heard me say that already!) and read 1 Corinthians 5. (You should read it!) I saw a raven or a crow...I couldn't tell which one...in a tree. It was so big! And when it took off, you could hear the flapping of it's wings. It was really amazing to see that.
All right then, enough with the colors. I prefer one color and one color alone.
I'm back on school tomorrow. (Let's hope I can wake up the appointed time!). I've had a week of sleeping in, so it might have damaged me! :)
Well anyway, I don't have much to say, except...
It's my 50th Post!! :)
Pardon my excitement...

Very Sad News :(

This is very sad news: Roxy passed away. And it was so suddenly - Rylie found her lying on our bathroom floor & she wasn't breathing.

My emotions were everywhere: I went from shocked to angry to sad to that after-sad feeling where you just feel like talking about the good times when the person or animal was alive.

Roxy had been sick for awhile, but Mom and Dad had been giving her special fluids that were supposed to help her. And she had been doing great the past few days - meowing for chicken, jumping up on the dining room chairs, curling up on my bed and purring, so this was extremely unexpected.

Roxy was the last cat to die of four that I've had in my life. (First was Kaboose, who I don't even remember because I was so young when she passed away, then was Cassie, then Sabby, and now Roxy joins her sisters and brother in Heaven.)

Death always reminds me to be very loving to my other pets. Thirty minutes or so after the incident I went downstairs to the office and gave Jodi and Brandi extra attention. They brightened me up a tiny bit: Brandi nosily chewing her favorite bone, Jodi groaning happily as she rolls onto her side.

(Sorry for the abrupt ending, but I don't know how else to end this post.)
