BRRRRR!!

I am sooooooo tired of this cold weather and snow. I mean seriously its april. We are not supposed 2 be having 30 degree weather n snow. This is just ridiculous. I had 2 work yesterday n today n we have been really slow at work. We've pretty much just been sitting around on crates talking....that is until my boss showed up.....but anyways its been REALLY boring.

But i gotta get 2 bed cuz i gotta work again in the morning :( But i'm off all day thursday so i think i'm gonna go up 2 the college n talk 2 them bout some stuff!!!!

Laterz :)

N thats all for today........ :)

WORK!!!!!

AHHHHH!!!! i'm about 2 go crazy!!!! All day its been butterscotch shakes or banana splits. Now i really don't mind doing banana splits but its just that they take a while n when u have 20 ppl standing outside STARING at u its a lil nerve wracking. N butterscotch shakes.......AHHHHHH!!! they go EVERYWHERE when u try 2 mix them so right now i am completely covered in butterscotch!!! And no i am not going 2 church 2nite........instead i am staying home so i can go back 2 work n an hr so my boss can go 2 a funeral cuz another grl called off. Its days like these that really make me want 2 quit work!
But anyways....i think i'm going 2 try 2 download those pics of my camera now n maybe take a lil nap b4 i go back.......

I'm Back..........

Although i had a great time at youth camp, i am soooooooo glad 2 be back home. For some reason the van ride was making me sick this time so i didn't start feeling good till sunday n then it was time 2 go back home. But i am really glad i went...i got alot of help n my friend n my sister's friend got saved!!!!!!

Well i g2g finish unpacking n get ready 4 work but i'll try 2 post some more l8r 2nite. Maybe i can even post some pics.....

Hey!!

Wow it seems like i haven't been on here n 4ever! It has been craziness around here...i haven't even had time 2 check my e-mail! But yeah, I had an AWESOME time paintballing last saturday!!! mostly i got face shots n my hair was a lil orange but its much better than body shots. I only got one bruise!!! n it wasn't really that bad. Mostly when u get hit it just stings 4 a minute but l8r u get a bruise. The first time i got hit in the head n i stood up wit my hands n gun in the air n yelled "out" but then i got hit in the head 3 more times....ugh!! Anyways it was alot of fun n i think we're gonna start doing it at least once or twice a month. The ppl had 192 acres n we only played on 21 of the acres. They also have a HUGE house!! It was pretty kewl!

Tomorrow i'm going up 2 Bradford for some financial planning meeting n then i'm going up 2 Zanesville 2 Tanaah's for her bday n we're gonna go shopping on Saturday for Easter n Youth Camp.

I can't believe Youth Camps like a week away! Sis LeAnn keeps asking me if i've got my stuff ready yet but 2 be honest, i haven't even started 2 think bout wat i'm gonna take. I guess i'll get that stuff ready next Wednesday since i'll be off work that day.

Speaking of work........that has been CRAZY!!! Since its been warm we've been really busy. One of the registers is broke so we only have one register n the customers r glaring at u cuz they're wondering why u aren't waiting on them wit the other register n then they get mean n nasty n yeah its craziness there.My boss forgot i couldn't work thursday nites n scheduled me so i had 2 switch wit someone n work a double shift on Monday n i already had wednesday n friday off so I got three days off n a row!!! It's like a mini vacation!!!!

But other than that i've just been tryin 2 get all my school done. I can't believe i graduate in like 2 months!!! I already got the date for my graduation party n everything! Since i'm the only one at my church graduating this year, Sis LeAnn said i have 2 come up wit the theme for the party @ church. Usually she lets the grads pick out the theme but there's usually at least 2 or 3 graduating together. But anyways i can't think of any themes that we haven't already used........

Anywayz, my family is all out at the church right now for the cleaning day n i stayed home 2 get my schoolwork done since this is my only day off that i won't be gone all day so i better go do my Algebra :( grrrrrr i HATE algebra but i have 2 have it 2 graduate sooooooooooooooooooo i better get it done.

Laterz.............. =)

busy busy busy

That's the way this week's been. If i wasn't working i was doing school or i was gone at church or something.

Thankfully, it finally warmed up here n it was 70 degrees yesterday!!!! I am sooooo glad for the warm weather. Unfortunately it's supposed to be back down to 40 degrees by Wednesday but i'm just enjoying the nice weather while it lasts!

Since it warmed up that meant more business at the dairy isle so friday nite n saturday we were pretty much slammed. It's kinda crazy n there right now cuz we only have one register n plus the ice-cream kept getting soft :( But it was kinda nice 2 be busy again....i def prefer that 2 being dead n having nothing 2 do.

This saturday i'm going paintballing!!!!! I've never been b4 but a lot of my friends are going n it sounds like a lot of fun. Plus this is the only way i can legally shoot my brother!!! Lol but i'm sure he'll get me back pretty good but i hope i don't get any bruises.....

Anywayz......i got all my shopping done for youth camp this week!!! well.........everything cept for snacks.....i still have 2 buy a 6-pk of monsters, pizza goldfish, some gum n candy but i didn't want 2 get that stuff till the week we leave. I spent about $50 but a lot of it was stuff i needed anyways like contact solution and a curling iron cuz mine is like 7 yrs old n doesn't work 2 well anymore.

But yeah i'm getting pretty excited 4 youth camp. This will prolly be my last youth camp since i'll be starting college so hopefully it'll be really good!!!

Welp, i g2g do some laundry cuz i don't have any clean work shirts n i have 2 work n the morning.............

A little of this and that....

So Saturday nite, after i worked i went 2 the heisey concert. It's the last one at Swasey Chapel so it was kinda special n it turned out really good. A lot of my friends were there n we sat in the very back of the balcony where we can text n talk n do wat ever we want lol. But it was fun n i was glad i went. Then after i got home, i stayed up til like 2 n the morning cuz i was really hyper for some reason and amazingly not tired. Then Sunday we had church n i was fine thru the morning service n i didn't even take a nap that afternoon!!!!! but that nite i was pretty tired n had 2 eat candy to keep me awake. But i slept in monday so that was all good.

But yeah other than that i've just been doin my school n workin. We've been really dead at work because of the cold weather n its starting to drive me crazy. Monday nite we only had 23 orders the whole 6 hrs i was there and mostly they were just stuff like a hotdog. Anywayz, yeah it was pretty boring but hopefully if it keeps warming up it will get busier! Anywho, i have 2 work with my boss on Saturday....for 6 hrs :( so i really hope we're busy so i'll have something 2 do cuz if not i'll just be standing around cleaning the same spot i've already cleaned fifty times just so it will look like i'm working. I think its harder to make it look like ur working than it is 2 really work.

Welp i better get off here now cuz its 11:45 n i have 2 work in the morning n i know i'm not going 2 wanna get out of bed...i never do want 2 get out of bed in the mornings...but anwayz i better get 2 sleep.

Soooooooo...........

I got a one for steel drums and my clarinet choir at OMEA!!!! I didn't think we did that great on steel drums (at least i didn't lol) but obviously the judge thought it was good! The clarinet choir didn't play till 1:40 n i was so nervous i couldn't eat till after we played....and then i was starving lol. But anyways, afterwards me n a bunch of my friends went to Steak N Shake n hung out till 8 so it made for a pretty good day! =)
But since then I've been on the go pretty much everyday. Sunday we had church all day n i was pretty much exhausted. Monday i slept in till noon then went to work 4 the nite. Tuesday i had to go to the dentist at 9:30 in the morning (thx alot mom!). For some reason when i go to the dentist and they numb me i am tired for the rest of the day, so i came home n crashed till i had 2 go to work at 4. Then on Wednesday we went ice-skating then went to McDonalds wit the Beverley's and Bremer's for lunch. Then we had church again that nite n stayed afterwards to clean wit the Beverley's. It looks like we won't have to go anywhere for at least the next week so hopefully i'l be able 2 work on my schoolwork. I was just getting caught up 2......
Anyways, today i cleaned underneath my bed...even tho it wasn't my stuff it was driving me crazy! I threw a garbage bag full of candy wrappers, dead batteries, and junk that my sisters didn't even know they had. But now at least i can get to my stuff when i want without having to move all their junk!!!
So now i'm off to eat some supper n get ready 4 band tonite. ttfn!

Back To Work!!!!

The Dairy Isle FINALLY opened back up tuesday!!!! It was pretty much awesome to be back!! For the first 2 hrs we were busy non stop but after that it died down n was pretty slow which was good cuz it gave me a chance to eat some ice-cream lol!!!! But i had a lot of fun last nite...not much work after 6 but a lot of my friends came up once they saw that we were open and hung out so it was kewl. It will be nice once everybody gets back 2 work tho........hopefully next week cuz the boss thinks we're gonna be busy.
But yeah other than that my life's pretty much been the same......school, practicing my clarinet, band, and church.
Which reminds me.... i need to eat supper and change my clothes for church tonight. I really don't wanna show up in my dairy isle t-shirt with ice-cream all over the front of it lol.

........and more practice

I seriously think my lips are gonna fall off if i practice anymore. We had another practice today at annie's house n by the time we played the whole song thru for our parents we were all squeaking and going flat which the moms were so kind to point out. But thats wat happens when u practice for two hours and only take a 5 minute break. I cannot wait till OMEA is over with and i don't have to practice anymore. I mean i prolly should still practice my band music n everything but honestly i just really don't want 2 even look at my clarinet again for a while.

Anyways.............i spent the nite at my grandparents this weekend since i'm starting work again and prolly won't be able 2 see them for a while. It was nice 2 visit wit them and hang out. I really should do it more often but i always get so busy...especially on the weekends.

Well my mom is bugging me 2 get my history test done soooo i guess i'll go see if i can at least get a B on this one...........or maybe a C since i really haven't studied all that much. oops!!!! :S

Practice, Practice, Practice...

That's pretty much wat i've been doing all week. OMEA is next Saturday (on Valentine's Day) and i'm in a clarinet ensemble and steel drums. We've only practiced steel drums once because the school keeps getting canceled :( I guess its a good thing we have practice tonight cuz idk if we're going to get this music down since its new and everything.
Because of all the snow and ice the clarinet ensemble haven't gotten to practice much together so we've been getting together pretty much every day to practice for the clarinet ensemble. Yesterday we practiced 2 hrs straight n my lips were REALLY sore afterwards. Now tonight we have clarinet practice plus band practice so i'll prolly be practicing a total of 3 hrs tonight. :S
But on the bright side, the clarinets are starting to sound pretty good so hopefully we'll get a 1 at OMEA!!!
Oh, almost forgot, I got accepted at Bradford today!!!!
But i got to go get ready 2 leave now....
L8erz! =)

Craziness.....

Wow i have been really busy the past 2 wks. But i think everythings gonna calm down for a while............i think anyways. Tonight the youth is going up 2 snow trails in mansfield to go tubing! its an 1100 ft drop!!! I'm actually a lil scared 2 tell u the truth (esp after sis leann told us a girl died there this yr) but i just hope i don't freeze to death. its supposed to get down to -5 degrees tonite.
Speaking of cold weather, i really wish it would go away. I guess we're supposed to have a "heat wave" n its supposed to warm up to 39 on Sunday but then we're supposed to get more snow on Tuesday. I mean i already thought we have enuf snow but i guess God doesn't see things the same way as i do :(
Anyways, my grandparents left for florida yesterday so we're watching their dog till they get back home which could be 2 wks or a month. i'm hoping its only 2 wks cuz that dog really does not like u to get any sleep at all. Plus its chews all my dogs toys up and is pretty much just really annoying.
Welp i better get off here n go find some warm clothes 2 wear 2nite.

BRRRRRRRR

So yeah i'm def tired of the snow and the cold weather. I mean the sledding was fun the one day i went but i think i've had enuf 2 last me till next winter. This morning i woke up and the pipes were frozen...the first time they've ever froze since we've lived here which has been like 19 years. Yesterday it was -11 but today it warmed up to 20!!!!! YAY!!! I went shopping with mom today and i had 2 get out and pump the gas 4 her n i almost froze. They said it hasn't been this cold in ohio for at least a dozen years. Hopefully it'll wait another dozen years b4 it gets this cold again lol.
Anyways, we're in revival this week with Bro. Seay so i'm gonna get off here n get ready 2 go 2 church.
L8erz! :-D

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

YAY!! It's finally snowing! I think we got about 5 inches of snow!!! Last night I went sledding with a couple of my friends and had a snow fight....not a snow ball fight just a snow fight. Mostly we were using shovels to hurl snow at each other. It was a lil cold but it was a lot of fun!! Then we came back 2 my house and made snow angels!! anyways, i better get off here and catch up on the schoolwork i didn't get done yesterday.

colleges, fafsa, scholarships.............deadlines

I think def this is the most stressful time of my life. Everybody always told me ur senior year was the best but i'm not so sure bout that. I mean don't get me wrong it's not horrible or anything, but there's just so much stuff to do. You have to pick a college, find scholarships, send in essays, complete the fafsa, look for grants and the list goes on and on. I prolly should've started looking at colleges last year but i'm a procrastinator and kept putting everything off and now i have 2 do it all now :( oh well i guess thats what u get for putting everything off. But i've narrowed it down to 2 colleges now so after i go on the tour of the second one in 2 weeks i should be able to make my decision.......i think. Anyways i'm off to study for my history test......

soooo.........

Not much goin on lately....... cept that the buckeyes lost the bowl game :( which was very disappointing but maybe they'll win next time. lol
Oh yea and i also have a new job...well just till i start working at the dairy isle again. Grant watched a mentally handicapped guy next door every morning from 6-7 and since he is working with David Beverley he let me take over for a while....and it is absolutely KILLING me getting up that early in the morning. But the $15 a week is paying for my cell phone and some extra stuff so i don't have to take money out of my bank account so i guess its worth it.
Well i think mom has dinner ready so i'm gonna get off here now......
