Leaving my Fingerprints.

I think a lot on what my future is going to be, and I really hope that I leave a lasting impression on the world with the way I find life. Even though in my opinion life can be trying and difficult, we can't forget the moments that make us smile and laugh. As human beings we are blessed with the ability to love and care for others where as I don't see any other creature to do so besides some animals...
In the end we have to realize that no one is going to remember nor care for you building that incredible data base for the Government, or being the first person on Earth that was sent into Outer Space, or even the first person to make a giant pizza. It will all be about the impressions we have made on other people and the lasting legacy of human kindness and compassion. If we continue to show our love and grow, we will teach other generations the same. But as for now, I'm leaving my fingerprints in the end with my photography that may not last, but the memory will be engraved forever till we die.

One silly photo of me laughing for my 365 not sure which number this is...I have a TON I need to upload, I'm just really bad at not thinking of what to write...
Anyway, this photo is from the "Bucket-Head Series" that will soon be posted on Facebook for those who want to see.

The Human Heart...

How are you supposed to feel?
How am I supposed to heal?
I just don't understand anything anymore...
How can I be so special? How can I be loved? How can I be hated? How can the things I love get ripped away from me and then punish me for not being able to see them again?!
I don't understand it...
Why do these things happen to me? For as long as I can remember the things/people I am fond of walk away from me or fly away from me...

Don't tell me that I am the best or I am loved because I am not to others! I feel like I have to serve in order to please, and when I displease someone I am forever tortured by the memories they left on my heart...
The pain is internal, sometimes I feel like my heart is bleeding, breaking and breathing is difficult...
I don't want to live in a world of only memories, I want to feel it, embrace it, understand it.
Why are you so far away?! Come back! - I want to scream so you can hear me!
Why does the pain have to be so hard to bear?! Why, why, WHY?!

..all I know is that this is not a goodbye...

It's always a see you later...

Reflection

Life through a camera lens signifies and ratifies my life. Photography is my passion in life and what better way to show how I feel than through a camera lens. Each person is different, and everyone sees life in a different way. We can all understand each other by viewing our photographs and making our own personal statements towards it that may reflect how the photographer and I could relate.
There are so many different ways I can go on and on about it, but I would rather just leave it at that.


What a lovely day, it must be nice to just live a carefree life and do what ever we may please. Sometimes I wish I didn't have responsibilities so I can just go to the beach and soak up the sun, or take a trip to an island and enjoy life. I wouldn't mind traveling right about now, so much to see and I'm excited - I feel it!

I must now go to class, but I think I'll stop at a Smoothie King first...
After this class I must welcome the weekend. I really would love to have a spa day right about now...

Candy Roses

Why is the sun so re-energizing, yet, so draining at the same time?

Jessica Simpson always finds a good place to put me back on track with my life and I think that things will soon get back to normal. It started last night with an amazing restful bubble bath (which Kyle is so jealous of), woke up, took my final in my Short Story class, came home, chilled a bit, listened to Jessica Simpson & classical music. I decided that a good photo shoot was in order for me today. So, I decided that since it was such a beautiful day out today I would use my backyard as the backdrop. I went for a "white wedding" theme with a hint of pink blush in the roses that were left from my Grandfather's Repast party we had for him at my house. I had a ton of fun taking pics because I had turned the volume up really loud from my patio that just filled my ears of beautiful classical piano and violin/cello melodies that Evan would be proud of!
It was somewhat embarrassing though because my neighbor was in the backyard cleaning out his pool. (There is a fence that separates our houses but since our house is built on a hill, when you stand next to the fence your whole head can be seen) But I think he didn't pay attention to me, thank goodness.
Anyway, I think that the pictures came out amazingly great!
So, here they are:
P.S.- Please don't save my photos or use them for anything without my permission.
Thanks :)

That's pretty much it.
I might post some later, I've been thinking about opening back up my Flickr account, not sure yet.

Have a good evening!

Post Angsty Weekend.

This weekend was an emotional roller coaster, crying doesn't seem to be an option anymore. I've come to realize who really matters to me during this time, and I can see who are the ones that truly care in general about me and my well-being. It's quite a shock I must say. Despite that, I honestly feel 100x more closer to my boyfriend than anyone else. Seriously, in my time of need, he was the one to go leaps and bounds for me. I really appreciate it so much, so Matt, if I haven't said it enough I'll say it again! Thank You, thank you, thank you! For being my supportive buddy, without having someone to talk to about all the feelings that bubbled up inside me and the thousand tears I shed, I would have cried more.

With all of these events happening at this very moment finals seem quite impossible at the moment. I have so much to do that I am making myself feel so overwhelmed! I have to do my speech (I wish I did it last Tuesday!), I have to learn one more magic trick! And I need to learn a 30 second QFS commercial for work today during our Crew Meeting! Ugh, this freaks me out so much...

I hate it when I'm so uptight!


Onto much lighter notes...
After the Funeral for my Grandpa, we celebrated his life at my house at a Repast get together we had for him.
Here are some photos of that lovely Saturday afternoon.

I'll keep the faith.

Although I feel the loss, I feel hope.
Today was a long, long day. I didn't go to Speech class, but I went to US history. I learned a lot, read a lot and went along with my day. Even though there is this empty feeling inside of me, I know that memories and love can help fill it for a temporary feeling. I do cry and long for my Grandpa, but I'm sure that over time I will realize the love that he has given me should make me smile. I do miss him a bunch and tomorrow will be very hard for me since it is his Wake, then on Saturday is the Funeral. Not sure if I can handle both but, Matt is coming home tomorrow to be with me. Having someone to cry to makes it a lot easier. These days it's hard to talk to my Mom or Dad about it because it's such a sensitive topic at the moment, maybe one day I can tell my Mom about everything I want to say about Granfather. In the meantime I'll enjoy the sun that he has allowed to shine for me for the days remaining.
Once things start to move slowly towards a "normal yet missing" life, you can visit me at work where I am no longer Zelda, but Sunny, in honor of my Grandpa. His real name is Francis but all his life he was nicknamed "Sonny" because he loved to be in the sun.

I know he'll be here to help me through the dark days.

Today I went back to the normal me. No flat ironing my hair, no makeup, no caring if people are staring at me-well maybe I did care.
It was such a windy evening, then I realized that my Grandpa was always the wind beneath my wings.<3

Hopefully, from this day forward, only good things will come for me.
I will keep the faith.

I'll try to keep up with my 365. But with so many hectic things in my life, the rules for my Project 365 is to post one whenever I can. I take the pictures, I just never get around to posting it. So, it still counts.

Left alone.

Another moment, another smile, another let down, another pick-up, another I'll-do-anything-for-you-because-your-family-is-having-a-tragic-situation. Am I that insignificant, to the fact that I am beat out by a TV show or a game? I just feel like I'm sitting on the floor, in my room, waiting and waiting, the tears fall down my face, the loneliness lingers and I have no where to go. Once I stand up back on my own two legs again I peep through the door crack just to see who is waiting for me...
No one.
So, I go back to my spot of the floor and I sit right back down crossing my legs indian style. Memories replay flashbacks of the happy times in life and I continue to cry as I miss them. It's a good human way to make yourself feel better. Even though the void is so great that it feels so unreal at the moment that you are driving yourself mad.
As I'm wrapped up in my inflamed thoughts, I lay backwards, now with my back on the floor, I stare up at the ceiling. Why do I wait? Why do I wonder? Why is he so good to me when he has time for me? Why do I complain when I don't get the attention I want? Why do I always end up being the bad guy/girl in the end for being needy in my time of need? I don't want to be alone in my thoughts, by myself feeling so distraught. Why can't anyone see that?! I am so selfish though...because all I want is the attention from those who don't have the desire to give it to me at the moment. I try so hard to stand out that I look like a complete moron in the end. Then I came to my own revelation- because he finally got the girl, he figured that no matter how tough the situation gets he can leave me and always come back to me. Kind of like how once you get a dog, you play with it when you want to. Why am I always waiting to be picked up when I am upset? Why am I the one who is told "Sorry baby I am going into this store I'll call you later", when I was the one who said "No baby, it's okay I'll talk to you till you get to your destination" when I'm waiting to go inside my own store?
This drives me insane, and I can't take it anymore. But I can't go anywhere, I am tied by the want and need as well as the loving and longing I get with him.
I don't want to leave, I just want to be treated right, all over, well rounded. No more brainwashing, no more missing and sadness, no more treating me like your puppy who will always be there when you come home. I just want the happiness of you to understand me and understand that I have needs, and when I need my needs that you will provide for me with all of your love because I'd do the same thing for you!
When will men ever understand that if you treat us well, we give it back to you?
Yet, I give him my all no matter what.

I'll just try and apprehend this thought for awhile...

xoxo

Missing my Guardian Angel.

The world is changing, but never the heart.
Life is hard to move on from once you have lived your entire life with the "normal". Each day we all do the same things, we see the same people, we hug and kiss the people we think we will see just the next day. But sometimes God needs the important people to come home with him and we as human beings don't like that too much at first. Because the normal stream in the river, shifts and is moved by the wind to go down a different path. More changes. Some say change is good, but they don't know.

Take a light from my heart
Burn it out
I'm lost in the dark
Where am I?
Where do I go?

Everyone says they know how I'm feeling and say that time will heal all wounds. That angers me because they don't know how I'm feeling. They don't know anything! The void I feel can't be covered or healed. I'll feel too guilty about it. No one knows how close I was to my Grandpa. Each Grandchild had a special bond, mine was special, I saw him so much, we laughed about so much. I want to still know that I was special to him. He told me every day that he loves me. But I wish that the day he was called home he gave me strength to see him, but I couldn't find any. I thought it was the right thing to do to not see him, but now I wish I did. I wish I could hug him, and he could tell me to stop crying and to smile. He would tell me everything was alright and that good things will happen.

I don't know how to turn the gray days into happy days. But I know that there will be good days soon. Just not yet...
It's a weird feeling to know that when I see my Grandma, that he won't be laying on the bed relaxing.

This morning when I woke up I felt like it was a normal day, but I thought of him and reality hit me. No day will be the same, no day of watching horse racing on tv and him shouting "C'mon 2!" and getting excited that he might win his bet. No more of the same things physically, but spiritually I know he's there watching over everyone.
All day yesterday I felt okay because he felt like he was still here with me, and I went on through the day without crying. But I think it's him who comes to see me when I'm crying and is the one that makes me stop. Because when I cry I tend to stop crying after a couple of minutes.

Maybe it's okay to cry, but in the end he's with us, holding us, keeping us strong, making us smile and continuously keeping the sun shining.
Please watch over us forever.

xoxo

Hurting, Missing, Wanting.

A lot has happened to me physically and mentally in the past couple of days since my audition. Happiness, sadness, grief, love, missing, and passing.
My Grandpa "Grafader" is how we used to pronounce it, passed away yesterday, Easter Sunday at 10:30am (the beginning of Mass) quietly and soundly with my Mom, Uncles and Aunts and my Grandpa by his side in Hospice. My Grandpa was a fighter and a lover, he loved his children, wife and grandchildren. Everyone who met him, automatically loved him so much for his kind and loving personality. My Grandpa loved to watch Horse Racing and bet on horses, as well as play the lottery. He would always tell me jokes and we'd laugh about Family Guy. My Grandpa survived for 4 years with Lung Cancer, it wasn't until January of this year when things got a bit shaky. My family started to help him fight the cancer as it spread through his body, weakening him. But as much as I did not want him to go, I realized that he was suffering so much and it was time for him to rest. I will miss seeing him every day and hugging him and laughing with him and eating his delicious food! I hope you are with your parents and grandparents that I am sure you missed so so so much. I love you and hope to see you again. I'm sorry that I didn't get to be with you in your final moments, it was just too hard for me. But I know that you sent Matt home this past weekend because you knew I'd need someone to lean on.
I'll never forget the only Grandpa in my life that ever cared for me and was interested in the things I did. I promise not to cry anymore...well, I'll try not to.



In honor of my Grandpa, I have decided to change my Codename at work from instead of Zelda to Sunny. (My Grandpa's nickname was Sonny, but I'll spell it with a 'u' because every time he was near he'd make me smile and make me feel happy, just like how the sun makes me feel).




*My 365 is still going on, but I haven't had time to post pictures. At this time I was post the past pictures I was supposed to post up at one picture instead. That will but up sometime soon, after all this stuff sinks in and I can focus on my life again.*

Disney Audition in a nutshell. (17/365)

Well, the audition at Disney was crazy and fun!
They taught us a dance from a parade and it went by so fast! It's a good thing I made friends with the other girls and guys that were there because they helped me out when they gave us time to practice! There were about 65 of us practicing in the ballet studio. After practice they made us wait in the hallway till they called our numbers...(I was number 20!)
They brought us in, in groups of 6 back into the dance studio to present the dance to the judges. Even though I messed up a little bit on the second time we did it (we had to do it twice for the judges) I really really hope that it went well! The girl I made friends with was so proud that I got it right (because before i was having trouble on this one part, my feet weren't right) but I guess that through it i just said "Screw it! I'll have fun" I hope I had a smile on my face the whole time! Haha!

They took our picture and our height! I'm pretty upset that they measured me at 5'3 and a quarter! :(
I was hoping to be princess height! oh well! 2 more weeks until i find out the results!!! Eeeee >.<
I don't think I was considered for "face" (being a Princess) because most of the time I was in the bathroom practicing while waiting.
But even though they have my picture maybe I will be considered for face. *crosses fingers*

Oh yeah and the animation part was amazing and really really funny! I felt out of place but that's a GOOD THING! :D

I got a "Golden Ticket" as Adam says..."I'm going to Hollywood!"- it was a big joke.
Everyone got these tickets and was told to leave and then we'd find out the results by e-mail.
IF I get in, I can't post who I am going to be or where due to Disney Privacy reasons. But all in all, even though I messed up a bit on the dance, I think I smiled enough to show that I have energy! Plus to learn a dance in less than an hour was tough! But I picked up on the majority of it. I hope the judges saw that I was having such a good time!

Here we Go! (16/365)

Well, I've got my sneakers, my comfy pants, spaghetti strapped shirt, water bottles, backpack and snacks. Inhale, Exhale, Smile, Breathe, Relax.
I will be good, I will be fine, I will make friends and have a good time.

I will take a picture tomorrow, so I will miss a post tomorrow! But don't worry my 365 is still in the works, just because I may not post it, may not mean that I didn't take anything! I'll be driving back down from Orlando tomorrow night.
So, here we go! Tomorrow morning I am off to my adventure, and we will see how things go.

Thank you to everyone who has given me massive amounts of support!

Xoxo,

GDO (Girl's Day Out!) 15/365

Happy day and movie day with Noelle.
I got to sleep in and relax for once on a crazy Monday morning, rolled out of bed around 12:30pm. All afternoon I got a constant flood of text messages from friends, I certainly felt loved. I don't know why I dwell on particular things that can easily be fixed on my part, and I fail to see the good side of things. Thanks to my younger brother's advice I feel a lot more at ease as I take things slowly.

Anyway, today Noelle and I saw "Adventureland," there really isn't much to say about this movie except 'interesting' and I can say it was somewhat on a level of 'cute' minus the drugs and alcohol. After a few short lived laughs (when the movie ended) we walked the mall on a quest for a guitar? lol, We talked about her housing issues with UF and touched lightly on High School matters as well as Social Networking (earlier in the day). I like talking to Noelle, we can talk about anything and topics are never awkward, just normal and relatively simplistic. Even though I may talk her ears off with my stupid problems, I try to refrain from complaining these days since there isn't much to complain about. I also don't want to annoy her, as well as everyone else with irritations that I can simply get over or fix. I feel very grateful for having friends like her, cause if I didn't...I'd probably drown myself in loneliness. lol, So thank you Noelle for being such an amazing friend! Because you are just awesome like that...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


Honestly, I feel so happy right now. Although it may not be what I was looking for, I finally got some insight. I finally felt like I was getting through, and being accepted, and no longer will the sadness linger. There is no point in being sad when you look around and have people who care about you, but may not say it to you. I know they are there and I will live on forever and ever so they know I know they care.

Emotional Whirlwind. (14/365)

I can't help but feel sorry for myself, to not feel good enough.
I set myself on this pedestal of high expectations and yet I don't think I'll be able to make it. A huge part of me just wants to portray a Princess but knowingly, I am do not have the characteristics of a small petite Disney Princess. I critique myself to the harshest point where I make myself cry.
No one seems to see where I am coming from. And that's fine by me...
My audition is in 3 days and I have found myself not nervous but just upset. I want to back out, yet sometimes I get so psyched up I just don't want to! It's because I know I won't get pulled for face. Disney has so many high expectations I probably won't fit the criteria. If anything I can have another job...
But I want it, yet if I didn't get it, it wouldn't kill me.
I'll just go with the flow and have fun.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

Phew! I just went and relaxed a bit...I just needed to clear my head and stare into the mirror and recite: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
Snow White is and so she shall be. I want to be friends with Snow White.
:)
Here I come! Full force! No regrets! I will be fine in acting! I'll smile and be happy!


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Well, today I worked and worked and worked! But I had fun, fun fun! I almost lost my voice! After work I came home, then dropped my brother off at his friend's house. And on my way back home I stopped back at work and played one game with all the members. I got last place of course cause they are better than me!
Then I waited until Trevor got off work and I hung out with him for a bit...
Trevor seriously is such an amazing friend! I can't believe that we click so well, I can tell him whatever is on my mind- well not EVERYTHING cause that's weird. But we'll soon overcome a weird stage and then I can tell him everything! I always tell him how cute it is to see him gush over Katie (his girlfriend) and he thinks that I'm ridiculous lol. That's just how we are :)
He is looking forward to hanging out with me in Orlando when I get the job at Disney!
I'm excited!
:)

I hate this part. (13/365)

Maybe today I feel a lot prettier than I did yesterday.

I have a bad habit, and I am trying to break it. As vain as I may seem I am a girl who is insecure and needs to be reminded constantly about how pretty I am in order for my confidence to be on the rise. If someone were to get to know me a lot better, even some of my friends know that every time I walk past a reflection of myself I can't help my glance and see how I look. - I've read this in various short stories, most recently, "Where are you going, Where have you been?" where the Main Character, Connie, is a very vain teenager and all she cares about is how she looks and what boys she wants to attract. So she dresses very provocative and tempting when going to a drive-in diner, soon she gets the attention she wants in a very creepy stalker way and soon learns that it is attention she does not want.
That is not what I'm going for, mine is all about confidence. Why do you think I can walk up to someone at work and greet them with a smile on my face? I want to make sure I look flawless so all they can see is the kind greeting and appreciate me rather than what I look like. I still have my imperfections: I get annoyed easily and I have a tendency to talk when others are talking or I talk "over" them. It's rude but for some reason genetically I need to have the last word in order to feel "right". I always ask if I look pretty when I knowingly feel pretty already, I just like to hear it. I bring myself down in order to be raised back up and to hear that I am pretty.
This all boils down to when I was in Elementary school. I was the most unattractive girl in my class and I was constantly made fun of over the years in Middle School. I never thought I'd get a boyfriend or be pretty enough in pictures. I was that girl who never cared for make-up or cared about the way I looked. I just went on my way...
But once I got into High School, I realized it's a whole ballgame of playing Barbie. I realized in order to get noticed I'll have to be "pretty". Yet I never got into that mind set...
The older I got the more I wanted to experiment being a teenager. I tried on the make up, I suddenly loved to go clothes and shoe shopping (I never had before), I wore eyeliner and foundation. Soon I realized that these are all good things to be aware of. After all the hype of being girlie, I found what suit me best. (I used to dress in black and rocked out to rock music) Soon I found a love for pinks and blues and dresses, and it all shaped around my personality and my confidence.
I am still ashamed at the fact that I am so self-centered at times when it comes to my looks, but I try to balance it out with my kindness and my friendliness. I never fake it, it's who I am. But I always feel terrible.
I have all the friends I desire, the boyfriend who loves me, the family that adores me, what more can I ask for?
All I still do is complain about everything because it seems like nothing is ever good enough. Sooner or later I need to realize that everything I have is everything I want. The people and things that have fallen out of my life I will miss, but I can't take it back. I have to get up and move on and be strong and be me.
Without my imperfections and weird personality, it just wouldn't be me. You won't find another girl like me who laughs at everything and has never smoked or done drugs a day in her life. A girl who is "high on life" and comes off so happy all the time and pushes away her worries and never lets people know she is sad in front of them. But behind a computer all she does is cry and wish that the world could see she's broken inside. But only inside...

I spent a lonely Saturday Afternoon by myself at the beach for a good 20 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore. To my left about a good 400 yards away a wedding ceremony was taking place. All of the girls and guys were gorgeous. Of course the bride as well.
I was blown off by friends again and I am just tired of asking for company. The only company I ever get is by me,myself and I. I can't rely on anyone unless I call them the day before. I do have friends who hang out with me on a whim, but I just hate that part when you look around and they are gone from your sight.

Monsters, Disney, Laser Tag! ( 12/ 365)

Disney Character Performers for the WDW College Program
For: Walt Disney World
Audition City: Orlando , FL
Location: Disney's Animal Kingdom Rehearsal Facility
Looking For: Face Characters, Atmosphere Characters, and Parade Performers

Holy crap!
They really are looking for face characters and parade performers!!!!
I am even more nervous! I really really hope that I pass! *screams*
But I feel so mellowed out, I think I should be screaming, but I don't want to. Maybe I will when I step foot out to the Animal Kingdom...
*Sigh*

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /


Well, today was long! And somewhat productive!
I woke up early and picked up my younger cousins and we traveled for about 40 minutes to Lake Worth where my Aunt and I swapped passengers!
The kids went to her and my older cousin, Sabrina to me!
I took her all the way back home to my Grandpa's house where she stayed, then I left to go to my house to get ready for work.
I went to work and worked myself out! I basically gave it my all at work and used up all the stored energy in me...
Mario came to visit and played during my missions. I also met the new kid, Max. He's just adorable! That nerdy, but cute younger boy- not in a crush way! No way! But a person overall I think I'll like working with him!

Anyway, this evening I watched Monsters VS Aliens (boot leg) with my Dad and I laughed so much! It was wicked cute! But this night is very long and I have work in the AM!
Goodnight all! And tomorrow is a new day! :D

*Attention to detail*
Photobucket

Her hair, so wavy like waves,
for a sad and beautiful girl.
It's the same, same words she hears over and over again,
She hides her face, wishing it'll all go away.
For lies are lies and never the truth.
If she opens her eyes there is nothing she can absolutely do.


Why must I be wait-listed for love?
I understand the hustle and bustle of every day life, but when you come home, all you want is to be loved.


Xoxo,

Studious Sally (I am not Sally...) 11/365

On your mark...
Get set...
GO!

1...2...3...1...2...3...

Left foot, right foot, right foot, right.

I have been panicking, crazy panicking about my audition. But I will find comfort and reassurance in myself as well as friends/family. I will be and do fine during the audition. I see this as a big opportunity to shine in front of big time corporation. Even if I don't make it through, I will find the experience to be wonderful! But I sure do hope I get in somehow! And as Noelle said...this is the type of thing I'm good at! Being entertaining and dancing around all day as a character!
Just 5 more days starting tomorrow! I probably won't get nervous until I am there. I hope I make some friends too!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Today was a very uninteresting day if you were trying to peek into my life.
I did get my glasses today! Finally a more suitable look for me, than wearing those ridiculous blue glasses! Finally a pair of sleek, black rimless lenses. I feel smart like Noelle :P
But, besides that, I went to class (boring), was hit on by a kid in a moving Honda Civic, calling me a "sexy momma". I am not a "Mother" so it technically doesn't apply to me. I visited my little cousins again and played Sims (trying ever so hard to not do my reading for US history), took them to Chik-Fil-A, ate lunch, took them back to my Grandparents house, then set off to go to class.
Came home from class, got my glasses, sat around, danced around, took pictures, watched E! all day (how sad), put on make-up for fun, took more pictures, danced to Hannah Montanna/Miley Cyrus, typing here, ready for bed.

Ta-Da! What a wonderful day...

Indeed...

I love my glasses, I feel free to do whatever and still look sassy! Finally a pair that won't square off my face!
Goodnight now!

Long day ahead...

She swims again... 10/365

*I apologize for any offense to those who opposed my previous post. I feel very rude for being so outspoken, but if one is to get what she wants, she must open her mouth about it- Hah!
Again I am sorry for accusing people for my suspicion and paranoia.*


Killing all birds with one stone.


Today I pretty much got all the things I wanted to do, done. I visited my Grandpa (who is finally doing well!!! I am so happy that he is in higher spirits!), I played with my younger cousins today who I haven't seen since Christmas! And I got to accomplish other activities that are not of importance.
I did get to be with Jewel today, and that was a fun day indeed.
After I picked her up from kindy (there was a whole big to-do with me getting her today that I don't even WANT to go into detail about since it was so frustrating and all with teacher speculation and all!) and we went to Auntie Donna's house, got her math homework completed without any bribery! Played a mystery called "where is that smell coming from?" but solved it by spraying Fabreez everywhere, since it smelled like pets! Then I took her outside to go swimming since it was so bloody hot outside! The girl needed a treat after all for being such a good sport!
I left her there with her Auntie Donna & Uncle Gary so I could pick my brother up from the bus stop and take him to work. When I got back to Auntie Donna's house Jewel was already out of the pool and on her laptop playing on ty.com. So, I hung out with Adam (Matt's younger brother) for awhile. Listening to 93 rock to listen to the Metallica Mash-up so they can win ticket to see Metallica. We ate Jewel's Stickers or Stackerz, what ever these kids call it these days and talked about his friends. I tried to get him to swim with me but that was a failed attempt. Eventually, I convinced Jewel to come back into the pool, and so she did. We played and played for a good hour or so until dinner was ready. To wash up from all the fresh water, we took a bath (with our bathing suits on) with bubbles! We played "Ella Enchanted", where I was Ella and she ordered me to give her all the "money" which was played by the "Bubbles". It was quite cute. After our bath, she raced me to see who could put on our clothes the fastest (with us separated in different rooms, lol) and she said she won (she was wearing a skirt for goodness sake!) Anyway, after a failed attempt to dry my hair straight (it's naturally curly) I ate dinner and watched a movie called, "What happens in Vegas..."
I left shortly after the movie started and arrived home. And since being home I have been doing my homework. But I must go now so I can finish and go to bed!
Goodnight!
