Yummy Food, Movies, and Weird Coincidences

Today I got up at noon :( We got to go to an Asian place called Masa Sushi for lunch since yesterday was Mom's B-Day. It was delicious!! We later went to the library and I found "Marple" which is a movie series based on the books by Agatha Christie. I watched 2 of the 4 today. In the second one I watched, the actor who played Sherlock Holmes once and the actress who plays Moaning Mertle in "Harry Potter" were both in it. It was a pretty good day.

Wake Up Call

So lately I have dedicated been to reading "The Host" which even though it is an AMAZING book, it has been bad for me. Saying that my room was too hot to sleep (which was true) and that I needed to be really tired to sleep in there (not true even though it would take longer to fall asleep) so I kept reading til' 4 am. The night before I hadn't gone to bed until 3:30 am because I was once again reading. Then I read something that basically said it's only going to harder. So I am trying to build up my will power which is going to start by going to bed at latest 1 am, getting up around 9:30 am, and going outside to do something other than sitting on my butt. I have a feeling, anything will help.

A Pretty Good Day

Today was a pretty good day. I can't say anything bad about it. I went swimming with 2 of my bffs and made snickerdoodles that were perfectly scrumptious. It was a pretty productive day. =D

Happy Dads' Day!!

Thanks to all the Fathers for squishing all the bugs and checking for monsters under the bed. For teaching us how to play sports so we don't make total fools of ourselves. I love my dad. He's the best. Have a good day!!

Have Gratitude, Dude

I have plenty things to be thankful for and am trying to express it more. So today I am starting with people I'm thankful for.
Thanks to:
-My sister, for giving me SOMETHING to complain about and for helping me not be a wimp

-My Mom, for everything

-My Dad, same

-To writers, for inspiration, imagination, friends, new worlds, and for making life a little more interesting

-To young children, for making life more COLORFUL

-To the soldiers, for fighting our battles

-To my friends, who give me a reason to live

-And most of all, My Heavenly Father, who does everything and more.

Don't forget to count your blessings because someone out there doesn't have much to count.

SOOO Tired

I am always tired, even with a good nights rest.

Last night had a sleepover with 2 of my close friends. We went swimming that night and watched "TRON Legacy." Not a good as I thought it would be. We went to bed a little before midnight. The next morning i woke up at FIVE O'CLOCK!! But that's not all, we went swimming around SEVEN!! We took some awesome pictures of us jumping into the pool. Around 10 I rode my bike home. After finishing a couple things I went to my room to read. That is when the wave of exhaustion hit. I tried to read but eventually my eyes completely closed and didn't open until 11:45, about 45 minutes later. It had been my mother's voice that had waken me but I didn't respond. I feels like I have a hangover.

So tired. Never goes away. Always something to do.

P.S. I DO NOT know what a hangover feels like from experience.

Another Day

Today was a pretty good day. I went to my friends house and we had some good laughs. Then I went home and left with my family to go to A Butte. It is a lot steeper than I remember but it felt extremely good and the view at the end was AMAZING!! I could see the city in all directions and it seemed I could see the edge of the world. And the sunset was BEAUTIFUL. I could see all colors of the rainbow in the sunset.

Day 1 of being nice to my sister done, 13 more to go. It going to be rough.

P.S. I started reading "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer. So far, so good.

Today

This morning I woke up 5 times before I actually got up at like 10:40. Then I started reading a new book called "Forgive My Fins." Then I went to church my talk went pretty well. Then I got home and started reading again. That's what I did most of the day. It is about 300 pages and once again finished it in less than 10 hours. Thanks to one of my close friends who suggest so many good books.

Another one of my close friends sent me her favorite scripture Luke 1:37. It reads: For with God nothing is impossible. Thanks! I have to try to remember that one. She also challenged me to do this one personal progress thing for church that said to be nice to a family member for 2 weeks and she challenged me to do my sister. It is going to be a tough 2 weeks.

Reading

Today (well yesterday) I learned I could read a 200 page book in less than 10 hours. It was the book "The Specialists: Model Spy." It was a pretty good book. I highly suggest it.

Photography

I love PHOTOGRAPHY! I love taking pictures of flowers, plants, and my cat, Chi. Here are some of those pics. I will post more soon!

Work n' On It

There are plenty of things I need to work on like reading my scriptures, saying my prayers, and writing in my journal. I also need to start some new habits like eating right and getting out of the house more so it will be easier when I'm older. Another problem I have is always saying "I'll do it tomorrow." I really need to work on that and build up some more will power. 

I have a talk on Sunday so I hope it goes well. Cross your fingers. 

GIRLS CAMP

I got back from girls camp Saturday afternoon.  It was an AMAZING expierence. It was a load of fun. It was cool getting to be with a HUGE group of people who love and care about you with your same standards. I can't wait until next year!!!!
