Bath time...

2010-11-22T19:34:00.000-08:00

So I woke up today *hoping* for a good day, when Gina comes in and says, Missy threw up in her cage..*Sigh* So I get up right away and go outside to check on her. I come to see that my poor kitty cat is slipping around in it, pushing her paws through the fence and meowing as loud as she can, my poor baby): So I come inside to get a towel and go and take her out of her cat carrier and bring her inside.

I walk into the bathroom to see how badly she is covered in it....she needs a bath..ohh boy. As I think this through in my head I know she needs one but cats HATE water! As I turn on the bath water and put her in, she starts lapping up the water in the tub. I go and get her all wet and clean the 'stuff' off of her and surprisingly, lets me! She wasn't meowing or scratching at all, only flinched a few times. When I was done I took her out and was drying her off with the towel, brushing her fur with the cat brush and I take out the blow dryer...I blew my hair with it and she then knew it was alright. So I put it on low, warm heat and start to blow dry her fur while I brush her. She doesn't mind it at all. :P I finally finish, dry her tummy off and carry her out with the towel like a little baby. She has been inside being a good little kitty and getting to know the doggies and Fiona. Her and Fiona don't get along to well, I think Fiona is trying to make clear to Missy, that she is the boss of this house and is the favorite. LOL. After that whole crazy day for her, Missy is now sleeping on the couch stool, with Lady. I hope this experience doesn't happen again.. :P

New kitty cat!!

2010-11-21T12:30:00.000-08:00

So last Saturday (11.13.10) I come home from the mall to a black kitty just hanging out by our rose bushes. She was insanely skinny and obviously starving! So, I fed her and adopted her as my own. I named her Missy. She is sooo cute!(:

*Missy and I*

She has been such a good companion to me. I am going to get her shots on December, 4th which is the first Saturday of next month. What's so special about that day, you ask? Well there is a discount on animal's shots. Less than $20 for the first time. I'm going to have to earn some money to keep her, and that is what I plan on doing. I'm thinking about raking people's yards for money. I hope this all works out well!

The Days of Fall~

2010-11-11T11:47:00.000-08:00

In the chilly days of fall I look upon many beautiful colors. Warm orange, the exciting yellow, peaceful brown, and the sharp red fills trees near and far. Trees many different sizes and shapes I see all around my. Some as tall as light posts and others that measure up to your house. Pumpkin patches scattered around the outskirts of town. Many activities in the wonderful place. Corn mazes, hay rides, hide-n-go seek, and horse back riding. I enjoy going to this magnificent place. As the moon falls into place, the drizzling rain comes down one by one so gently. Ah, the sweet smell of rain in the fall. Leaves blow in the cold wind and rain drops into the ground makes me know what season has begun.

iPad

2010-11-01T15:27:00.000-07:00

So my Non&Poppop came to visit a few weeks ago (left already) and they bought the new iPad! I love it so very much. It's so handy and easy to use! I can just see myself going to my local Starbucks with it and sitting down in a very comfortable chair, with my feet up and a hot Cinnamon Dulche Latte with whip. Listening to Mela Kamin's song, "Surrounded By Your Love". *Sigh* yes, yes that would be very wonderful. Oh me..oh my..I actually came upon a lady's blog and she is having a GIVEAWAY for an iPad! Praise you, Carolyn! Click here! I pray I win! *crosses fingers!*

Blog with you later!(:

2010-08-22T13:18:00.000-07:00

Alright, so yes I haven't posted a real 'blog post' in a while. Extremely sorry I haven't been up to date with you all in my life. So, I have a boyfriend and he is extremely amazing! I thank God everyday for blessing me with him. ♥ Also, I am attending a youth group now and I help out with the nosh. Which is basically like a snackbar but mostly drinks. My boyfriend, Carrington works in there and he's teaching me how to make them. They are soooo delicious! I am also trying out for the worship team there. Since I play guitar I was praying about playing on the team. I am also thinking about singing in it buuuuut I'm not so sure yet. Maybe a background singer. lol. ;) And the special day like today is....mine and Carrington's one month anniversary!!! We haven't done anything today yet. But last night I was invited over for dinner with his family. I also got to meet his brother's girlfriend, Courteney finally! I've been texting her and talking with her on the phone for like 3 months but never met her! Crazy I know. But it was awesome meeting her!! So anyways, that's the update. I will try my hardest to keep you all up to date more!

ttyl,

I got a haircut about a week ago and I love it! A lot of people do! It's darker underneath, a lot of blond highlights on top and it's layered! Do you like it?

Oh and a while ago my dad got me a new guitar and a guitar strap for me! Yay! My other guitar is going to a family friend. Here is a picture! It's an Epiphone D R

Jess and I are doing great at writing our songs! We have been working on our first music video and hopefully at the end of this month we will go get one of our songs recorded! God has blessed me soooo much lately! ♥ Tonight we are having a bbq and my friend is coming over and he is gonna play some Wii with us! (In case you don't read my sister's blog, we got a Wii!)

Birthday!!!!!

2010-05-31T15:15:00.000-07:00

That's right it's my b-day today! Yay!! I am now officially 15! We went to La Hacienda and I got a tostada, and a virgin raspberry margarita. Then when I was done, they brought me cheesecake! Then after that, mom, Jess, and I went to Walmart and I got a new shirt! Then we went to the mall, and I got some things there too! More things coming....maybe...not sure yet :P

My shirt :) (it was half off! It was 18, but I got it for 7! Great deal!)

Peace out ya'll!

Last minute, me and mom are going to the Christian book store now!! YAY!

Bad news...Good news...

2010-05-20T12:48:00.000-07:00

So the bad news is... I know I haven't been posting a lot lately :(
Good news is...I have a good excuse!!!! Me and Jess have been writing songs. Music with my guitar, and Friday she is getting a guitar for herself. I am also thinking about bringing our piano out and playing on that. We've been writing songs about relationships, friends, family, boyfriend girlfriend stuff. They are coming out really good! So far we have written 8 songs. All together, cause she has written her own songs, I have written my own songs, and the songs we wrote together. I am so excited how God has been helping us through this! So, once Jess get's her guitar we are going to start at the first song we wrote, and play both our parts on our guitars, do some modifications to the songs if the different parts don't go together, stuff like that. Here's a picture of my guitar:

Oh, and I have also been watching, charlieissocoollike. If you have heard of him then you will most likely agree with me, that his videos are really funny! If you haven't heard of him, you need to watch some of his videos!

So that's what I've been up to lately. Oh and Facebook I've been doing that too. Yes I have a Facebook if you haven't heard already. Add me as a friend!

What is it?

2010-02-24T10:01:00.001-08:00

This picture has a great story! About last year in summer I was digging to get the soil ready to plant flowers. While I was digging I found a little root sticking out of the ground, so I started to pull. But it didn't want to come out!!! I had to take the big shovel and dig it out with that. Once it popped out, it was as big as an onion! I had no idea what it was. So with my curiosity I planted it and wondered all summer what it could be... "Could it be a weed, or maybe it really could be a vegetable root. Maybe...who knows!" But just about a week ago, the mystery was solved! It was a daffodil bulb! How amazing! *thinking to myself* "I never remembered planting a daffodil bulb. Well, praise the Lord, free flowers!!" Only one has bloomed so far though. Once I see another bulb I will take a pic every...maybe every other day and you can see it grow!!!

You can see more photos I have taken on, Pix-O-Sphere soon!

Nature WALK

So, me and my mom went on a nature walk this evening. It was perfect weather like yesterday. There are a lot of pics, but take the time, look at them slowly.

Whacha think?

Homemade headband

2010-02-18T16:00:00.000-08:00

Monica, gave me this idea. No not me Monica, this Monica. It was supposed to be a bracelet, but it was to small, so I turned it into a headband. This is also a chance to see how long my hair grew!

Well, my hair is up in this picture, and I didn't notice it until I took it. Also, I took the picture, that is why it is sideways ;p

Thanks mom for taking this of me! :)

I took this too, and my hair is still up, wait a minute....

...there we go! See how long it's grown? I got it cut at my chin, and it's already down to my neck! It's growing so fast.

So, what do you think of the head band and my hair?

February?!?!

2010-02-01T14:42:00.001-08:00

Whoa! Doesn't it seem like two weeks ago was Christmas? I can't believe everything is going by so fast. Just in four months I'll be 15! Can you believe that? Of corse you can't, I can't even believe it! I was watching a cd that my Non&Poppop made for my family with pictures on it of the years of us young-uns' growing up. There are pictures on it of Timmy when he was a baby!!! He's already almost 8. My little man is growing up :') O_O The pictures of me on the cd made me laugh so hard! I had barbie blond hair and really dark skin. But that's only because I was always out in the sun. See the brightness of the sun made my hair almost white blond and the heat and brightness of the sun made my skin darker, and what I mean by darker is sun burnt! hahahaha!!! I will ask my mom how to get the slideshow from the cd onto my blog later this week. By the way I am posting this from my new(ish) laptop! My dad got Jessica a new laptop, so I get Jessica's old one. But she only had this one for about a year, so it's like still in perfect condition. Anyway, what was the name of this post again....oh yeah, February?!?!. So what are you all looking forward to this year? (Even though that is still of the subject of February!) Okay okay, what are you all doing for Valentine's day? Okay that's closer to the title of this post ;p Please comment or else I'll follow you everywhere!!!! Just kiding I'm probably already following you everywhere..on your blog ;p

Fix It Friday

2010-01-29T18:33:00.001-08:00

It's i♥faces fix it Friday. This is a picture that was provided for people to use.

This is before:

And these are the ones that I did:

I can't believe how.....AHHH great these turned out!!! :D

I used the mosaic glass for this one and then I used Paint Shop Pro 8 for the blueness ;)

Using Paint Shop Pro 8 I made the antiqued look.

I LOVE this one sooooooooo much! I replaced the snowman with this blue crystal globe using a, button brush tip multiple times. I Also put the fairy wings behind her using a butterfly brush tip. And using Paint Shop Pro 8 I made the whole look of it, ice and softened it with a little blur.

What I'm learning

2010-01-28T20:56:00.000-08:00
