Haven't Written Much Lately

Well, my life's been busy. I was playing volleyball for the past while so there's been no time for anything. Ummmm I don't really have anything to say. I'm really tired for some reason.

High School



Oh my gosh! I cant believe it! I'm going to high school on Monday! What happened?! Yesterday I was following paper footprints to where the leprechaun left all us kindergartners a chocolate coin! Where did my time go?

ABOVE: See that girl! Thats me. Not that girl:

Okayyyyyy. So thats not really me either. I mean, it is, just I don't normally curl my hair and I don't wear a retainer. That was from when I was in 4th grade. *sob* I didn't even mean to do that!

Alright, enough with the reminiscing. Now onto right now. I can't find anyone that I even have ONE class with! I can't even find anyone I'll see in the halls! Thats awful! aw well. At least I'll meet new people. Buttt... If you want.. You can recheck and report back to me! Here's the Schedule:

1: Szakowski
2: Thorne
3: Price
4: Miller
5: Elder
6: Price
7: Harris
8: Broach

You better get back to me on that!

Boating at Lake Oconee(?)

Last Saturday all the Mia Maids and Laurels went boating. I brought my camera but kinda forgot to use it. So here some pictures that Sister Wells took:

ABOVE: Me knee boarding. That was just in the first little part, though. I DID get up to holding the rope! And it was just my first time! Good job Megan!

ABOVE: Mini movie! I think it was supposed to be a picture, though. It was my first time tubing too. I was hard to throw off! I was on there for 6 rounds (time on the tube until somebody got throen off) and only fell off twice. And that was whenBrother Mitchel decided that I needed to be thrown off. First 2 I was with Katie. Both times she fell off. Then I went with Melissa. First time we both fell off together (did she fall on me??) and then I fell off. Then I went with Katie and stayed on. And no, its not Katie. I skimmed the water with my knees even and still stayed on with her! Oh, and we DID go over the wake! This was probably at the beginning too.

Other than that we were at the small beach and I floated on an inflatable thingy.

Well,

I haven't posted in a while I guess. I haven't been up to much. Well, I have, i just can't remember. My mom makes a calendar of what we're doing every week, but I'm too lazy to go and get it. Yup, very very lazy.

Ok, here it is:

Last week we were in Brunswick. And we had fun fun fun till the high tide took the sea shore awayyyy. We went swimming out on a sand bar, but had to back even though beyond the sand bar was where the only waves were! Ah well.

Monday: Went to the doctor. Liz came home from Las Vegas.

Tuesday: We were Supposed to go to the doctor to get shots, but the lady who supposedly made our appointment forgot to log it in!! At least i didn't have to get a shot :)

Wednesday: Went bowling and got ice cream conies at mcdonalds. Went to Young Womens.

Thursday: Grocery shopping with Mom and then Dairy Queen. Yummy :)

Friday: Went to Lenora Pool for cousin Seth's birthday. A kid threw up in the water while we were there and we had to wait 30 minutes to get back in. It was funny. Then I babysat my siblings.

Today: Went to the pound and saw doggies. We're thinking of maybe getting one. We're not sure yet, though. it's abig committment.

That is all. See ya next week on The Price is Right! Don't forget to have your pet spayed and neutered!

I'm Completely Out of Books

Oh well. I have finished everything in my mini library and I have read some of them multiple times. Which means I need more books! I should go to the library or something, but no time. When Liz gets home in like a week I think she is bringing some books from Marika. I'm too impatient, though. I think for now I will just have to settle on a hand-me-down book of brain teasers. But I like books because they take very little thinking. Or rather, processing. Yeah. Or I might take up tennis. I really do need to find myself a hobby. Tennis will be good. We have tennis rackets and everything. I just need my mom to take me to Johnson Park. But, tennis requires moving. I tink I'm just too lazy to do anything. I was almost too lazy to blog. I need to get a life. Well, bye! :-)

I Am Home!

Well, actually I was home yesterday, but I was pooped so I watched a movie and went to sleep. I had a wonderful two weeks in Utah. Well, actually only have of that because it took six day combined there and back. I love Utah :) I took a few pictures. Those will be up eventually. I hope you enjoyed my mini blogs from when my phone actually had service on the long trip :)

So, today is a fairly good day. I woke up kind of late *ahem* *11:30* *a personal lateness record* *cough* But, I did my chores, read part of this book Sister Kimble wanted my mom to read. Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. I think that's the name. I don't remember. It's really good. Now I have extra time to play on the computer. I want to watch tv. We recorded some stuff on the DVR while we were gone, but PJ is glued there. I think we might need in expert un-tv-gluing team to get him off of there. But I don't think such a team exists... Ah well. He is watching the science channel. Maybe the nonstop television viewing won't rot his brain that much. Ha ha. Just kidding. He'll get off soon enough (hopefully).

I don't remember what else I was going to say.. Oh! I remember one thing! Ally Carter, the writer of the gallagher girl books, is coming to Decatur in September! Yay! But I do not live in Decatur, creepy computer stalker people... Anyway, that will be fun. My friend has informed me that they don't have Don't Judge a Girl by her Cover at our Borders.. So, maybe there I can get the whole trilogy. Liz wanted to read the second one but its not at the library. Yeah. that's about it.

Did you know...

...that mousse has propane in it? I mean, you could put that ingredient next to the WARNING FLAMMABLE to make it more believable. I found this out when comparing Tresseme (?) and Garnier Fructis mousse. They both had propane down in the middle of the ingredient list! Who knew? So, people of the world, think about this before you attept to scrunch your hair while camping near a fire pit. (And no, I do not know this from experience. I'm just guessing) But seriously, why have they hid this from the public who doesn't care enough to read the ingredients label on their hair product?! Just kidding, I was just bored out of my mind and had nothing better to do than to read the label. But, Beware the Propane Mousse.

First Day of Actual Summer-summerness

I say the weekend didn't count as the first days of summer. Today is the real first day of summer.

So, i woke up at like 8:30. Mikayla and I went jogging at 9. I have resolved to get in shape before high school. :P` , ' yeah. We walk/jogged 3 miles.

Ummmm.... then I came home and painted some of my ceiling tiles. they're awesome. They are part of an ongoing trial to make my room not so plain brown. I painted on my wall, but mommy said that would lower the value of the house.... So I'll stick to ceiling tiles and some furniture. One of them was this awesome star and the other was a night scene. Perty.

Then me, PJ, and Liz washed mom's car. Then we played in the water and played marco polo with the hose :)

Now I am in here blogging. Soon (In like an hour) we're going to a group family home evening thing. Normally its just our family, but the first of every month is combined.

Sheesh. I'm bored. If you know my email address, email me. If not, contact me some other way and I'll get it to you. BOREDOM!!!

Oh! but in two weeks we're going to monticello, utah. that's where my grandparents live. Its a super small town but its amazing :)

Then in July we're going camping. In cabins. I'm not sure if that can still be considered camping. It's gonna be fun, anywho.

Ok, now back to BOREDOM!

Last Day of Middle School

Yeah I'm doing this just because everyone else is doing it. jk. I wrote this summary up in social studies after the final:

Homeroom: Eh. Graciela brought yummy cookies for everyone :)

First Period: Arm-wrestled people and played BS(butterscotch) with Annalena, Jeremy, Nia, Justin, and Alena. I won :) I beat everyone except Jeremy at arm-wrestling.

Second Period: Played BS with Taylor an Morgan (:P) and Mr. Domingo. Decorated this big banner thing and ate a dum-dum

Third Period: showed everyone my phone and let them play with it :) Just sat around and talked with Martha, Jessie, Ngoc, Jeremy, and Annalena. Nathan tried to hug everyone. Ewww... I hate hugs

Fourth Period: Took a cell test. Took science final on clicker thingy. Sat around with Natalya, Heeyoon, and Wesley. Played a French vocab game :) Ate lunch. Came back and texted.

Hallway inbetween 4th and 6th: said bye to Ms. Dix :(

Sixth Period: Took Social Studies final. Got award for highest grade in social Studies :)

That concludes my fantabulously boring day. Everyone was crying but I'm not in the least sad. High School will be an adventure :) I'll be able to meet all new people. You see, this is what moving around a lot has done for me. Ah well. I'll still miss all you guys though :(

Here I come, high school!!
I am officially done wit middle school :)

Clean Jokes for the Slightly Twisted

I got these in an email from Aunt Sandi :)





Week Before Summer

Over my weekend,,,,,,,,,,, we went to six flags on saturday. Mom lost her phone off the cyclone. Oopsy.

Sunday we went to church. Fun.

Monday we spent a day at Hard Labor Creek. It was very fun :)

Then yesterday we had school. the misionaries came to eat with us. They all told us why they decided to come on missions. Very inspirational.

Today (school again) we mostly prepped for finals. We are having a secret pizza party in Mrs. Doeffingers class tomorrow. Shhhh!

Tomorrow and the next are finals. Then...... Drum roll please.......... SUMMER!!!!!!!

Gangster from the Bot Scouts

So, Pj was sagging when he came home from scouts. He was like, "I'm a gangster!" He looked down at his outfit then inserted, "from the boy scouts!" It was perty funny. You had to be there.

Mormons do NOT practice polygamy!

Sheesh! Why does everyone think that we do?! We don't! So, yesterday, I guess Indi asked this kid if he wanted to sign my yearbook. And he was like, "Oh, isn't she a Jew?" Indi said "no, she's mormon". And he was like, "That's even worse! Don't they practice polygamy?!" (What's wrong with Jews?) Indi tried to defend me, but he pesisted. i'm just gonna have to yell at him next time I see him. Just kidding :) Sheesh. People, get over the past. Refusing to sign a yearbook because of the person's religion is insane. Be more acceptant. And get the facts straight.

We are in horticulture. We had to stay inside because the ground is too wet outside :( We had some terms to define on the computer. We got the conference issue of the Ensign yesterday! Woohoo! I didn't want to wake up this morning. I was sleepy... Next period in science I think we have a sub. That means we have to do a worksheet on an introduction to Biology :P Then in... Gotta go. Bye!

8th Grade Dance?

LAME! Really. I don't think I can ever go to a non-church dance and think its fun. This was just... lame. I didn't know most the songs they played! Even the line dances I know and love were remixed to rap! Sheesh! I did take a few pictures. Liz took the first two.ABOVE: Me doing "the pose"ABOVE: Me watching tv

ABOVE: Sarah, Maria (Oh my gosh! She's wearing a dress!), and MeredithABOVE: Amber, Sheila, Kalonnie. I couldn't get their attention long enough for them to smileABOVE: Kalonnie, Sheila, Amber, Leah, Maria, Meredith

All Is Well on the Southern Front

The title was inspired by the extremely boring book Liz is reading right know. So very exciting.

Well, today on the southern front, many victories were won for the Allies. Okay, so there were only two battles, but we won them both! Yay us!

School was good. today. CRCTs are DONE! Hurray! No more testing! Except for finals. But that's at the end of the year. We went to art and watched this video. Part of it was about the art of graffiti. Huh. Now I'm in fourth period. Ms. Mungin said we could do whatever, now that we're done. I'm in a good mood today. But we don't get to go to 7th period because of the CRCTs. :P

I don't have anything else to say. So... I guess that's it

I Told You Guys Caffeine Was Bad!

Just looking through some medical reports and found this:

"Reducing or stopping caffeine is important for bipolar disorder. Yet when someone with bipolar disorder is feeling depressed, increasing caffeine can help that person boost the low mood. The problem is caffeine is a drug. And it's a drug that can alter mood and disrupt sleep. Caffeine can also diminish the sedative effects of medications, such as benzodiazepines, that are used to treat anxiety and mania associated with bipolar disorder"

I got it off of WebMD. Very useful site.

For the Beauty of the Earth/ My Backyard Expedition

So, I got sidetracked while coloring. I took marvelous pictures all throughout the yard.


Sidewalk Chalk Art

I had quite a time scooting around on PJ's skateboard making beautiful chalk art
work.ABOVE: SunsetABOVE: Earth. I had fun riding circles around it, making the explosion :)

Breaking of a Lightbulb

Its so interesting. A lightbulb is a vacuum, so it shatters differently.

CRCT

CRCTs are stupid. Well, not stupid, just over-stressed. Teachers and everybody else stress out too much over them. Perhaps if the students were less stressed, they would do better. Also, I understand the review sheets, but there is a limit of how many pages of review a kid can handle. My elementary school siblings came home with stinkin 15-page packets! Sheesh! Either you know it or you don't! That's it!

Saturday

Saturday was an exciting day! 5 minutes after I woke up, we were off to see Ashley cheer. I was kind of half asleep through all of that though... Then we came home, I did my chores :)

Then we went to the Hannah Montana movie! It was AWESOME! Yes, I highly recommend seeing it. After the movie, I was emptying out my purse that was full of trash. I kind of forgot that my phone was still in there though... It ended up at the bottom of the trash bin. I tried to dive down and get it, but alas, I couldn't. Mikayla bravely dove next. All you could se of her was her legs. People watched with dumbfounded expressions on their faces at this spectacle.

Then it was semi-formal church dance time! Melissa brought her friend Victoria. We all had lots of fun :) Kissa, Victoria, and I played kick-the-trash while people slow-danced. It was funny watching the people kick the crushed cup without even knowing it. They had a chocolate fountain this time :) I had about a zillion cream puffs and strawberries covered in chocolate.

Thus concludes Saturday.

I Am Out of Creative Titles

So, another blog entry because I just know your life depends on my blogging ;) Ha ha. I don't seem to have anything to blog about lately. Oh! I just realized that I do have stuff to blog about! Wow! I will make a different one though. Also check out my mom's blog http://nolden9.blogspot.com/

Thursday at 6:49

Well, I haven't been on here in quite a while! I don't really have anything to say. Oh my gosh. School is ending in like a month! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm going to high school! Woohoo! I have bronchitis :P I diagnosed myself :) I don't want to be a doctor, though. Maybe a psychologist, but not a doctor. Or nurse for that matter. Blood is icky. But it's pretty cool if it means something to you. Like if it's a battle scar :) Not necessarily from a battle, though. Like if you cut it climbing or something. Or if you got it from accidentally biting your knee on the trampoline. Man, I showed that thing off to everybody. I was so proud of the stupid little cut :)

I just hand lotion on. My hands were extremely dry. I don't think I have any homework tonight. Woohoo! Again! I'm bored... I have nothing to do... Waaaaaaaa. I'm whiney :(

I had an omelette for dinner. Normally I hate eggs (along with cottage cheese), but i like my dad's omelettes. They are delicious. CRCT after two more instructional days :( Whoop-de-doo. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! School is almost over!

I need to get a new book at the library tomorrow. I finished the one I'm currently reading. Well, not currently anymore. We finished our book in reading too. And in language. I don't really have anything to read. That will be alright for the time being. I have realized teenage drama books are more interesting (and easier to read) than classics or science fiction books. Hm. I don't think I have anything else on my mind. The End.

Books

I have three books I need to digest by the end of spring break :P I have Eyes of a Stranger (a must read) that I am borrowing from my older sister, Avalon High, the book I bought yesterday, and The Diary of a Young Girl, required for school.

The only one that has AR value is the latter. I don't want to read it :P I had to read it last year, and I simply don't feel like reading it again. I hope I remember everything...

The others are enjoyable.

The end.

My Day Today!

Well, I woke up this morning and did my chores! Hurray! Right straight from when I woke up, i grabbed my laundry basket and hangers and took them upstairs with me.

Then I ate breakfast. I got ready for the day (brushed my teeth, showered, yada yada yada)

Went to the mall with Kanise and Heeyoon. We people-watched and looked for absurd outfits. It was fun. We played hide-and-go-seek. I was hiding; it was fun :) I got a new book. It seems interesting so far.

I came home, read for a little bit, then got whisked away to do dome babysitting. That was fun. We played freeze tag and mario carts and made a hammock.

Now I am home, awaiting tomorrow.

My sister found this awesome thing on facebook. I suggest you read it:

MormonsYou most likely know one. Whether you're aware of it or not.

Our real name is The Church of JESUS CHRISTof Latter Day Saints. Which means we're Christian :)

Sometimes we go by LDS. Mormon is a nickname given us because we believe in the Book of Mormon. We usually go by Mormon cuz that's how people know us...

We don't drink.

We don't smoke.

We don't drink coffee... and if you see one of us doing that, slap them and say "NO!"

Joseph Smith was the first LDS prophet. Brigham Young was the second.

BYU is a mormon college...There are 3 of them - one in Utah, Idaho, and Hawaii. BYU stands for Brigham Young University.

We don't have sex before marriage.

We have more fun playing chutes and ladders than spin the bottle.

Not all of us have been Mormon our whole lives...

The high school-aged youth go to a seminary (like sunday school) class each morning before school.

Our church session is 3 hours long and we love it.

The mormon missionaries are the two coolest guys ever. Be nice to them ;P

It's true. We make the best green jello salad and casseroles you've ever tasted.

We think mormon jokes are funny.

We don't date till we're sixteen.

We know that groups dates are more fun anyway.

We know that the most fun dates - don't cost money.

We give talks in church in front of 150-300 people. how's that for public speaking?

We are stubborn as heck. We don't give in to peer pressure.

We have refreshments at almost ANY meeting.

We celebrate holidays by throwing either a BBque or a dinner.

We love to sing and dance.

If you go to a youth dance, you WILL see conga lines, break dancing, square or line dances and swing dancing.You will also participate in either the Chicken dance, or the Hokey Pokey ;P

Almost every mormon girl can play the piano.

We don't watch R-rated movies.

We dress modestly. Skirts/shorts to the knee, shirts with sleeves, one-piece bathing suits... that type of thing.

These standards are never supposed to be relaxed... EVEN FOR PROM.

We CAN use technology.

We CAN eat fast-food.

We DON'T practice polygamy.

If we ask you to go to an activity, it's NOT a conspiracy thing where we're trying to convert you. It means we have fun and we want to share that with you. Likely the church won't even really be mentioned while you're there.

If we ask you to go to church, it's because we care enough about you to want to share with you what we know and the blessings we've received.

If we give you a Book of Mormon, we're giving you the most precious gift we have. It may not have the same meaning to you at first. That book has changed lives for the better and when we see you going through hard times, we want to help. This is the best way we know of helping you. So don't be offended. Even if you don't want it, know that we care about you THAT much.

If you turn us down, it's ok.

If you think we're pushing you, tell us to knock it off! We'll stop.

If you ask us what we believe, only for the sake of arguing, we won't tell you. It's pointless to engage on that when you're not going to open your mind and listen.

Asking you to go to church, an activity, or giving you a Book of Mormon is incredibly hard. It's like a guy asking out his crush. Some of us are more comfortable in doing that than others. It's hard. So if we do it, be NICE! :)

We don't care what you wear, what you look like, as long as you come! We're happy to see you!

We'll live on pizza.

We know what it's like to push a handcart.

We have all sorts of useless skills and know a bunch of stupid games.

We do genealogy. It's pretty darn cool when you find out you're related to someone famous...or that you're royalty.

Your parents will let you go just about anywhere, as long as one of us goes with you.

Mothers LOVE mormon girls as babysitters.

PG movies ROCK!

We don't all love the Lion King.

The guy who owns the Marriot Hotels is Mormon.

Steve Martin is NOT mormon just because he did Cheaper by the Dozen.

We DO tend to have big families. The more the merrier.

The boys go on two-year missions when they turn 19. And no, they don't get to choose where they go.

RM stands for returned missionary. They make the best boyfriends and husbands, and every mormon girl wants one ^_^

Contrary to poplular belief, the majority of us would rather live in Antarctica than Utah

If you see anyone on TV (not on the BYU channel) under the age of fifty talking about mormons, they're probably lying.

It's nearly impossible to offend us - even if you do it on purpose.

We don't use bad language and we hate hearing it from others. But if you slip up, it's not a big deal. We still love you.

People like, respect and even admire us, but are rarely interested in hearing what we believe.

Donnie and Marie? Mormons.

The Bat Commander? Mormon.

Steve Young? Mormon

Gladys Knight? Mormon

We're not perfect. No one is. We make mistakes. We slip. Try not to judge us by one person who is struggling.


It's a club called, "Why Yes, I AM Mormon, thanks". Pertty nifty.

I should be getting off to bed now. Bye!

Savannah Trip: Day 2

Today was interesting. Woke up. Went to McDonald's for breakfast (:P I do not like McDonald's). Then we went to River Street. In the middle, the rains came. I slipped in the very wet grass. It was fun!! Mark, Wesley, and I made a run for the buses. I should have known not to run through the grass... anyway, we made it. Kanise and them finally showed up. We took pictures with the waving lady statue across the street in the rain. Left for pizza lunch. Did beach observation inside :P It didn't have the same effect. Grandma Slade said that when they come down we may get to go to the beach. Toured the First African Baptist Church (it had tunnels for runaway slaves underneath. I sneaked a peak at their hymn book, and it has some of the same one in ours!! So neat!) Went to the founder of the girl scout's home and heard stories about her mom's ghost. It was kind of lame. We were supposed to go on a walking ghost tour, but, you guessed it, the rain prevented us from doing that. We had a fancy dinner afterwards. I took pictures. Here, see, see:

ABOVE: Me on the bench. We were in the way of Bob (Mr. Trickett), so we had to take these really quick. Two on my camera, two on Kanise's. There was a lot of moving about.

ABOVE: Spiffy t-shirt. I love it. We were at the front of this shop when the Ms. Smith came by yelling, "Hurry! The rain is coming!!!!" And so it did...

ABOVE: Picture taken from under an awning. Soon after this Mark, Wesley, and I made a run for it.

ABOVE and BELOW: aftermath of the running. I slipped and fell in the grass. It was fun :)

I didn't take any really good pictures at dinner or the beach observatory or the church. That concludes day 2.
