fireworks

On Saturday night my family a a few friends went to this fundraiser thing, I guess, by our local public school called A Night in the Country. There wasn't too much to do except walk around and buy food. The reason we went though was because at 10:00 they had a fireworks display, probably the best I've ever been to. We were so close that a bunch of ash from the fireworks was falling on us. So we kept the biggest pieces as souveniors. We took some pictures and videos.

Computer back up!!!

Well my dad finally got the computer back up and running. The ridiculous Spy sweeper program was having numerous issues but now after a few days of waiting, we have it figured out. I just got on, but my dad said a few of the programs may have been uninstalled when he rebooted the system so I suppose I'll have to check everything out...

interior decorating

Alyssa and I want to redecorate or room. We want to paint the walls alternating soft green and soft pink, with horse and horseshoe stencils and get new bed sets with horses on them. And our bathroom we'll probably sponge paint either light blue or soft green or both, and decorate it with either cherries or fish. I don't know when this is going to happen, hopefully this fall or something.
My brother is starting school this Monday. It is going to be good to get rid of him for a while.

well that's all for now.

company!

My friend Korah is coming over this evening! It will be fun; we are going to rearrange our room, among other things of course.

I might be starting 9th grade tomorrow. If not then, then probably this upcoming Monday. I'm taking Social Studies 9, English 9, Algebra 1 (retaking it since cyber school didn't teach it well enough), Biology, and Spanish 1.

Well I'm going to go make a pineapple pie. It's a really nice easy recipe and it tastes good. I might post it on here later.

AFLAC SCAM

Watch out for this scam. Police say that the gang usually comprises four members, one adult and three younger ones. While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their "mark" (or intended target) with a show of friendliness , the fourth -- the eldest -- sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pockets and purses or bags for any valuables being carried. Click on the link below to see a picture, taken from CCTV, showing the gang in operation.

refreshing

Wow, walking is a good way to exercise; I don't think I'm felt this good for a year or two! I'm not good at most sports, but if there's three sports I'd like to take up, they'd be swimming, horseback-riding, and walking, maybe running after a while.

oh btw I finally cleaned off my desk, it's a load off my mind!

caballos!!!

Today I took a walk with my mom, my dad, and my dog. It was about a one-hour walk, and I think we walked about four miles. We always walk up to this horse farm. The horses are really sweet, two especially, a palamino and a brownish-gray one. They walk up to the gate and fence and let you pet them and they love to eat grass out of our hands. I want to bring them a carrot or apple next time, maybe. I don't know if that would be right, or if they're allowed to have them. My dad met the people who owned them while he was on a walk once. He says they have twin girls in high school.

I'm planning on taking riding lessons next spring. I really want to get horses someday. I think I'd prefer to get a palomino, or a pinto, but I'd be happy with any color, really.

back home

Well, we got back home from Andrea's house early this morning. like 4:30 a.m.
We'd been driving all night and most of the evening.
I had a great time while we were there. I'll be posting pictures and more about what we did later.

Indiana, here I come!!!!!!

I can't believe it! Tomorrow I'll be seeing my best friend, Andrea, who I haven't seen in 2 years! And it's only an 11 hour trip... We should be staying at her house for two full days and two parts-of-days and three nights. We're going to have so much fun!

unpredictable

Of all the times for me to get an injury... I was just walking up the stairs when out of nowhere my ankle gave me a turn. I think I might have blacked out for just a second. Now my ankle hurts whenever I move it at all but it feels numb when I don't move it and it's really starting to frustrate me. Why couldn't it have waited until next weekend?????????
