Sunday & Monday

So yesterday we hosted a skating party at our house, it was cold and windy but it turned out to be a hit! We had 4 families over and it was very LOUD! haha fun but also very hectic! Kristen had to leave early because of youth group and Maddie also left kinda early, but then Me and Mary watched the movie "Super 8" it was a bit scary but I'm fine now...LOL There were some drunk people, I won't name names but GEEZ it got a bit annoying and they were even louder than the kids!

This morning, I didn't have Culinary because it is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day but my mom had the bright idea of making my eye-doctor app. at 8am this morning! It was fine, Bruce is SO funny! omg, The best was when he said that my uggs looked like house slippers!! 

SO MUCH SNOW!! Yesterday, it was completely bare outside yesterday and now we have tons of snow! driving was pretty crazy - I slid a bit on my way to and from baby-sitting...There is another story! So Jess originally asked me to baby-sit for M and G today and so I go there and NO one is home.....I call them...no answers at first, finally get ahold of them and She almost makes it sound like it was my mistake! not cool. On a side note, all this snow might make for a snow day for dance?!? that'd be pretty nice for a day off! I hope Culinary isn't cancelled tomorrow because we are going on a field trip :D

Me and John made Brownies in a mug in the microwave and they turned out...Ummmm, not very good! Haha it looked good and the texture was good but it didn't taste sweet enough! fun experience though :)

My mom said I didn't have to do school today, so I didn't but I feel kinda guilty! hahaha I will have some catching up to do tomorrow...JOY

Missing an arm?

It sorta looks like my other arm is missing.....AWKWARD

I took this picture on New Years Day before I went to Mass :)

P.S. I am not wearing any make-up in this picture

SPEAKING of missing an arm - today while John was in Speedway Gas Station, there was this trucker dude with half his arm missing...pretty cool! and on the Bachelor, there is this girl who was born with half an arm! crazy

TGIF

Thank God Its FRIDAYYYY - but really!!! Yay for the weekend :)

Alrighty, let's see what has happened lately.....

Grandma canceled on me because she had a bad headache, poor gma :( so I'll be cleaning her house next Thursday....AND THEN today the C* canceled on me too! Jerry picked them up early - and they called me as I was driving over, but Jessica said she will pay me for an hour..so yay!

I have gone to Busch's 3 times in the past 2 days! Once to get batteries for dad, then the next day for cheese for lasagna and then later in the day to get Caty's dove soap - LOL at least I get to eat their yummy donuts!

Me, John and Caty watched SWEENY TODD - omg I loved it! even with all the blood and stuff it was great!

Dance is at 9am tomorrow....JOY haha at least I am a morning person! 

So my mom just texted me saying that we are having a skating party at our house this Sunday at 3pm....COOL

I realized that i use too many "!" and "....." SORRY PEOPLE

When I procrastinate...

When I should be doing school but don't feel like it....this is what I do, BAKE!!! I made Coffee Marble Cake, Tea Muffins and Amish Biscuits this afternoon when I should of been doing my World History Test, haha WHOOPS :)

I didn't have to baby-sit the K* kids today because they are on vacation this week. Yesterday I baby-sat Gabriella all day starting at 9:15 after Culinary because she banged her injured hand and couldn't sleep...Basically we watched TV all day! I watched more True Jackson VP episodes than I cared for, haha

So apparently John took $10 from me without me knowing so I took him to the bank this afternoon to get my money back and then we went to Speedway and I got a shulshie and now my mouth is blue! Oh and I got gum :D

I'm off to Wednesday rehearsal and then Ballet and Pointe in a little bit....I did my hair with a french braid into a bun :)

Tomorrow I am going to my grandma's house to clean it and I'll probably stop at Adoration at St. Andrew's too!

A busy weekend makes for a busy week

This past weekend was full of stuff and I forgot to write a post! so here I go to catch up! 

Saturday morning started with Ballet and Pointe Class and I dealt with the "drama" happening between my friends, there always seem to be something, haha...

My grandparents took Mary, Caty and I out to eat at Carlyle, I got a barbecue chicken pizza :) and then we saw Les Mis....OH MY GOSH! it was such an incredible movie! I really enjoyed it, so did everyone else! I can't wait until it comes out to DVD.

I went to Mass at St. Andrew's on Sunday and then went to Sunday Class right afterwards. Only 5 people showed up and it was such an invigorating class! I felt like I got a lot out of it, I've been trying to live life from this quote that the priest said at Mass a few weeks ago and I find that it relates to all in life. "You only get as much as you bring" It is so true!

Maddie came over after dance on Sunday and we talked alot and watched the movie Grease - it was fun, I love her! even though we argue 24/7 :D hahahaha

There was youth group last night but I didn't feel like going...My mom tried to force me and used her reason of me needing to find a young man......UMMM not from there, no thanks! sorry but they all seem to be quite nerdy....Oh boy but I do hope to find someone soon.... ;) I realize that I make too many "....." haha Oh well!

I am currently listening to "Go your own way" by Lissie, such a good song!! I can't help but try to think of songs I can use for my senior solo...it is a year away only!!! so crazy...I have a few ideas, but I cannot commit to any.

My mom made a strange lunch, rice with chicken and then put Fettichini sauce over it....It was surprisingly tasty! 

I feel like these posts are quite pointless but I truly feel like something good is about to happen and I cannot wait until that day comes......Til then, I keep my faith and trust in God <3

Breakfast for lunch & chapped lips

I made my family breakfast for lunch at the request of my mother - they all seemed to enjoy it, my favorite was the french toast! I don't like most other breakfast foods.....

My lips are sooooo chapped but i am too lazy to get off my bed and grab my chapstick, OK I have a reason for being lazy! I am sick! My nose is runny, I cough and my throat hurts...AND MY LIPS ARE BURNING. boo sad face! omg I just got up and put on some chapstick and brought it back with me so I can reapply when needed :D

So Maddie, MY BFF, is telling me about how she just sits around and thinks about 1D and she is shocked that I don't do that anymore (because I used to) and as sorry as I am to say it, I am not as obsessed with One Direction as I used to be, don't get me wrong, I think they are sooo hot and I LOVE their music and their posters are still on my wall but I am not sitting around dreaming about them....Anyways, I think Maddie is coming over on Sunday! woohoo!

Today my name got called over the loudspeaker at school, LOL they gave me a packet with papers to fill out for next year and told me that I have a meeting with my counsler to set things up in 2 weeks.

Un-RIVALed Refreshment and more

I don't really know what that title means but that's what my speedway slushy cup says on it! LOL I went to Adoration today for 30min. and afterwards I got a slushy because my throat hurts and I keep coughing! but it made me SUPER cold and gave me brain freeze while I was driving! but it was definitely worth it - I even snapped a picture of me with it on the webcam when I got 

home...enjoy! P.S. It was Coke flavored :)

Yesterday I baby-sat the K* for the first time since Christmas break, they are so sweet! When I arrived there, Sophia was dressed in her bathing suit....in January...haha she is too funny! Here is a picture of John Paul with his sunglasses, he kept laughing as he wore them!

I am currently facebook chatting with Caty and Maddie (separately) Caty is on break at school and Maddie is putting up an album of her New York Trip - So jealous, she got a brand new coach purse!!!

Dance has been going pretty good, except for the fact that I have to not only pay for myself but also for Margie because LADM costs so much.....ugh and then Lisa lectures us about how we need to work harder because we need to make our parent's money worth it, well what if its our money, jeez, it is so annoying how people assume stuff - like Oh my life is SO easy...you don't know anything.

Haha sorry to rant! Ok, I'm off to baby-sit the C* in less than 2 hours - Peace out!
