Hook is a CODFISH!
It actually didn't taste that bad (in my opinion. It kinda tasted like jerky), but the texture was AWFUL and it just coated your mouth and I was determined to swallow it. So when I was ready, my sister starts gagging. I start thinking about what's in my mouth and there's no way that my body would let that crap down my throat! So then I start to gag and we bolt inside and I flush my mouth out with water and try to get it all out of my teeth and I was feeling a little sick! I ran upstairs to go brush my teeth so I could get the texture out!
When I got downstairs to talk to my sister, toothpaste foam was dripping from her mouth and her toothbrush was hanging from it. I was like, "Did you throw up..." but saw what was in the sink and I just stopped. Turns out she clogged the sink AND the toilet with last night's dinner! It was NASTY!!! So word of advice: NEVER TRY YOUR DOG'S TREATS NO MATTER WHAT'S IN THEM!!!

K- I'm trying to keep this to one post a day, but OH MY GOSH!
This is my dog Sammie.
Sammie got into my mom's growbox! She dug this hole, and then she saw my little brother sleeping on the hammock. She likes to wake people up... Needless to say, he ran inside with dirt on his leg screaming! tehehe...hehe...he... well, it was funny! My home teachers are here! (35 minutes later...) My home teacher left! Can I just tell you how AWESOME my ward is? My home teacher is my piano teacher's husband and they're both AMAZING and he's also in the bishopric with my neighbor and he and his wife are AWESOME and my bishop lives down the street and he is SO COOL and Kate's the best, Jennie's hilarious and Ciara's wicked awesome and long story short- I have the best ward! Here's the hole!

I think I got one....

An Epic Battle of Endless Wars

I love Ciara and Jennie!!
Dang it.

Flagstaff, Arizona; Don't forget Wynona!
This is me sleeping on the way to Lake Powell... I was pretty tired.

Aaron, Isaiah, Jenny, Stephanie, Daniel, and Melissa getting off the dock. kinda.
Jenny, me, and Isaiah walking on the wire thing on the ramp. This is where we launch our boat.
This is my Bet On It dance... I think I could kill Zac Efron in a dancing contest! Michael Jackson can be the judge!
David, Isaiah, Jenny, Daniel, and me jumping off a little cliff.
David, Isaiah, Jenny, me, and Daniel "standing on water". NOT! Cause we're standing on a rock that's underwater! (I actually acted out my favorite part of the island scene of POTC 1 w/my Isaiah on this rock. Pretty funny. But it's on the video camera.)
David, Jesi, Isaiah, Aaron, Jenny, Daniel, Michael, Elise, and Stephanie jumping off the same cliff.
Me and Jesi. I had Wheat Thins in my mouth that I was trying to keep in as I also tried not to laugh. It's harder than it looks!
David, my Dad, and me eating lunch under a shade thing on the beach.

It's hot outside.

I wish that I had an extension cord. That way, I could listen to Radio Disney and the Happy Working Song when I cleaned my boat. But I can't find one. I'm actually supposed to be out there right now, but it's wicked hot outside!
Contrary to popular belief, Joe Jonas pictures me in his head and dedicates every one of these words to me as he sings this on Camp Rock:
"You're the voice I hear inside my head,
The reason that I'm singing.
I need to find you,
I've go to find you.
You're the wind beneath my wings, (kinda cliche, but if he means it, OK!!)
The song inside of me.
I need to find you,
I've got to find you!!"

Have you ever witnessed a miracle? I have.

I wish American Eagle had a 2 for 1 deal on shorts.
So I'm going to Lake Powell on Wednesday. I'm going to have a wicked awesome time! I hope... Look at these awesome pictures I took of Lake Powell the last time I was there (October 2006)! I'm going to wakeboard and I'm going to get wicked awesome! And I'm going to get wicked sunburns! It's going to be TOTALLY WICKED!!
Ok, nevermind- no pics cause it won't upload... due to "internal errors", whatever those are. So... if my camera decides to work for me on the trip I'll take some more!

Youth Conference
Thursday, June 12, 2008
I Love the Summerfest... *sigh*...
Living by the park sucks cause when you drive past it (everytime you get in the car), you can see them putting up the rides. And your heart rips into peices cause you know you can't ride them because you have...
Youth Conference.
On the bright side, I never have to worry about parking because I live so close! We just walk every year!

I Am My Brother's Slave.
_edited.jpg)
- Disgruntled my parents a bit by going to the mall to by my brother a shirt
- Went to said brother's work to get his credit card,
- Took with me my annoyed little brother, and required him to wear older brother's shirt cause he wanted his new shirt to be that color, (all for older brother)
- Picked out two shirts, one white, one North Carolina Blue
- Argued with little brother to follow older brother's requests for little brother to try on shirts like 3 times
- Bought white shirt instead of blue shirt
- Found out later it was the wrong shirt,
- Made 2 sandwiches for said older brother,
- Washed canned peaches and put them in a Ziploc container thing for brother.
As a result of all this, I am no longer in the mood to practice my piano. That makes it 10 times harder to go sit down and do it. I have lessons tomorrow. I still have to learn a total of almost 2 pages and get them up to performance level. My teacher's going to kill me.
Wahoo.
I Need Shorts!

I Love To Read!!
I decided to be a good little YW and actually apply one lesson that I struggle with to my daily life. That lesson is Time Management. I suck at it! So I sat down last Sunday (June 1) and planned out everything I was going to do over the next week. I wrote my schedule down, and just put tasks I have to take care of on the side. I only got done what was scheduled, except for reading an hour everyday. I read for more than an hour everyday!
But that also meant that I didn't practice my piano like I should have, didn't take care of any camp stuff, and did do another thing that I can't think of right now. So I'm taking this one step at a time: I scheduled time for piano practice.
And it's helping! I'm breaking my 2 hours down into one hour at a time, at specific times I've already set out, and during the hour break in between practice sessions, I've been cleaning my room! Today has been my most productive Summer Day! TIME MANAGEMENT ROCKS!!!

...am having a bad hair day... (warning, this is long!)
I can be so moody sometimes! Not like all mad at the world moody, but for instance: Today at work, it was kinda a quiet day, so naturally I'm thinking about my life and start rampaging in my head. It went something like this:
"I HATE when people feel sorry for themselves and expect people to feel sorry for them too! Just because the Attention-Seekers in life don't get the attention they want doesn't mean that they should be all, "Nobody likes me, Everybody hates me, I guess I'll go EAT WORMS." It bugs the flipping CRAP out of me! Just because one of your friends would rather take a day off and be lazy at home than to go to Jump On It with you doesn't mean she (or her) hates you and just because your cousin won't sit and talk to all your aunts and uncles with you because she wants to go upstairs and play in grandma's funhouse doesn't mean that worms are on the menu! STOP WANTING EVERY LIGHT ON YOU AND STOP BEING SUCH A CHARITY CASE WHEN THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY!"
Then, when I was driving home from work, I started rocking out to See You Again and then I was parking "my" car when Year 3000 (by the Jonas Brothers!) came on next (I am a faithful Radio Disney listener!) and it was like nothing's wrong! I was kinda way ticked today and not in such a good mood at work, then I get in my car and everything's fine. Like, I could be lying on a beach in Waikiki and I wouldn't feel any different. Sure, I'm worried about how piano's going to go next week for my first week back, and that I need to get my room clean for my sister to move into, but seriously! It's like nothing happened! Well, this is getting crazy long, so I'm going to end it now.
