Oh Yeah!

So today I completed my Annotated Bibliography as well as my Exploratory Essay for my ENGL 112 class! I am now starting in on my Bio Study Guide. And I thought my productivity deserved a song! So here you go! Keep smiling!

Feelin' The Pressure

*sigh* Well, a wonderful weekend has come to an end. It truly was fantastic! Saturday I went shopping with Mrs. Watkins, Rachael and Bekah and then, after dropping my stuff off at home, went back to their house with Carl. We spent the evening organizing his clutter (which we made some very good progress on by the way!) and talking and laughing and watching Horatio Hornblower. I came home that night with a plastic frog named George and a smile on my face. Yesterday was great too! Shannon and Jess came to church so I got to sit through a fantastic service with them. Then after church, my family went out for lunch with my grandparents which was lovely! I love my family. :) When we got home, I took a nice nap before heading over to Becky's house. We went to see Jane Eyre last night which was a fantastical movie! Great acting, great plot, great soundtrack, definitely one worth buying. It was fun. :)


Nooooow it's Monday and boy do I have a load this week. First, I have to get that silly Biology paper written! HAVE TO!!!! I also have an annotated bibliography to do as well as an essay to write for my English class. Fun huh? On top of this, I'm back working at the Daycare Tuesday through Thursday, I have a date with my mentor Tuesday night, Mime practice starting up Thursday night and a date with my mom on Friday. EEK!!! At a time like this, there is only one song that fits with life. So turn up the music, play it loud and dance away!



I'll make it! I WILL survive! However you probably won't have another post from me this week. Just warning you. 


Keep your smiles on! Until next time!


(5 weeks! You can count it on one hand! :D)

Marriage On The Mind

Yup. I've got marriage on the mind. Why? Well just look around! It's everywhere! Really! My cousin is getting married in May and being in the wedding as well as part of the family, I've been privy to much of this preparation. My mom is helping with her bridal shower and I hear about so many of the details. Today sitting at Starbucks doing homework, there were two girls sitting at the table across from me looking through wedding magazines. After they left, another lady sat down talking on her phone to someone about bridal shower preparations and whatnot. Everybody's twitterpated!!! Okay... possibly me included....


But honestly, I'm glad God created marriage! And it's a beautiful thing! He loves it! He made it for our own good and pleasure! Just look!


Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. ~ Ecc. 9:9


And of course marriage begins with a wedding! The dress, the rings, the church, the guests, the candles, the cake, the confetti, the whole shebang. Too expensive? Well there's always elopement! ;) Anyhoo, here's your song!



Ah good stuff. Keep your smiles on! Until next time!

Oops!

I totally forgot to give you your countdown yesterday! We are now at 6 weeks! 6 weeks until summer sun, babysitting Blacksmith and Skunk Monkey, reading books I WANT to read, bike rides, watching the sunset, long walks, ice cream with Zach and Joe, stargazing, skirts and flip-flops, late night movies, driving with the windows down, Saturdays with Carl, car washing, swinging at the park, hiking and swimming, hamburger dinner nights, laughs with the fam.... I'm not excited at all. ;) 


Just cause I'm in a summery mood, here's a good summer song for you! Enjoy!



Keep your smiles on! Until next time!

Sunshine, Happiness and Snapple

Ah. Here I sit at school, wasting time before my Bio class starts. I found a table in the sunshine and I have a Snapple Peach Tea and a good week ahead of me! Yeah, life is pretty darn fliptastic. 


I have to tell you about yesterday though! My church went on a field trip to Imani, an amazing inner city church. We had a GREAT time worshiping together and fellowshipping and eating dessert. They're so energetic! It's so much fun to watch them worship! My hands were sore from clapping so much afterwards. Great Sunday. :) 


Now then, this week should hopefully be very productive. First off, I have off work this week cause the school is on Spring Break!.... YEAH!!!!!! :D :D :D :D....... Anyway, along with the usual homework, I have to write a Bio paper this week (or at least get a lot done on it), hang out with my siblings, choreograph the Easter mime, smile, make a cheesecake, soak in the sunshine, spend time with the most awesomest boyfriend, dance around my kitchen.... speaking of my kitchen guess what! My house-sitting days are done as of today! I get to go sleep in my own bed and eat and talk and laugh with my family! Oh how I've missed them! Especially my mom and Garrett. They are probably the best listeners on this whole earth and the best part, they actually give good feedback unlike the two cats. So I will gratefully hand in my house-key and return to my oh so wonderful home and family. 


For now though, I'm off to finish some homework and eat lunch. But before I go, here is the happiest song I know of. Enjoy!



Keep your smiles on! Until next time!

Victory!

I'm aliiiiiive!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I did in fact make it through the week. Surprised? Me too. Let me outline it quickly. 


I finished all my homework Wednesday night which was very nice! I spent Wednesday evening babysitting Miss Adventurous. Then Thursday after putting her on the school bus at 8 in the morning, I had the rest of the day to myself until she got home in the afternoon. We ventured to Yogi's for some frozen yogurt and spent the rest of the evening cuddled under a blanket watching Benji. Friday was freeeeeezzziiiiiing cold! It actually snowed some! But snow or not, Miss Adventurous wanted to go to the park so off we went. We spent probably an hour or so there before coming home to some Spaghetti-o's and goldfish crackers and Saturday afternoon cartoons while braiding countless doll heads of hair. Once her parents got back and I was free, I spent some time at home before going to Carl's for dinner (Friday night is pizza night! :) ) and a lovely evening with him and his family! 


Today was loverly! I woke up at 9:30 to sunshine and blue skies. After a quick breakfast and doing some chores, I was off to babysit Little Blue Eyes! That girl is absolutely adorable (see above picture)! She was good for me the whole entire time I was there! Ate, slept, played with me, cried minimally, talked to me, shared her toys with me and all in all, loved on me. :) Yes, cute as cute can be! When I got home, another adorable someone came over to see me! Yup, Dearest Carl of course. :) He stayed to watch Runaway Bride with me which is in fact a chick-flick. Isn't he wonderful?!


So now I am thoroughly tired out after a long but good week and after claiming victory over all my goals and aspirations this week, I can smile myself to sleep. :) But first! A song!



Keep your smiles on! Until next time!

A Day

*sigh* Well I'm too tired tonight to write anything witty so instead of giving you a long boring post about my day, I'll just give you a few pictures that should describe my day. Enjoy!

The only thing I didn't add was a pillow cause I'm not asleep yet. But I'm about to be! Keep your smiles on my dear reader! Until next time!

I just love being a girl! :)

Stick-to-it-ivity

Guess what I'm doing today. Paper writing. Yup. And I have no idea what I'm doing. Sounds fun right? Ha! It brings to mind this song from one of my favorite movies, So Dear To My Heart. 



Well, enjoy your day my dear reader and keep your smiles on! Until next time!
