On a happier note, another book came in the mail for me today! It is The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! I did not realize it was such a gigantor book! Apparently it's five books in one...? Was not expecting that haha :) I liked this picture because this is currently the stack of books/DVDs on my desk haha. The Count of Monte Cristo and The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are both recommendations from Mrs. Van so I hope they'll be great! We're going to start Grapes of Wrath this week so I'm excited for that.

Here are some tie dying action pictures!! :
As you can see, Sarah decided to be different and have a uni-corn type of tie dying!! She did a bulls-eye thing which you will see farther on down in the posty. It took her about an hour to finally get the whole thing done while the rest of ours took about 10-15 minutes haha :) She had to be different! :)
And here's how all the normal people dyed their shirts! We followed instructions Mom had from a long time ago when she tie dyed back in the day. We pretty much spiraled our shirts with a clothespin and then wrapped a piece of cloth really tight around the outside so that it wouldn't unroll. The dye was in boiling hot water and we dipped our shirts half way, rinsed with cold water, then flipped it upside down and dipped the other half and then rinsed with warm water and ta-daa!! Here are the results! :
What a bunch of lovely ladies all crammed into our laundry room! :) It was nice to be around people since I have been in solitude for the past two days :) Hopefully I didn't infect anybody though!
February 24, 2012
Wow! The tree looks really pretty though!! Mom shoveled the whole driveway and patio because she's a champ! :) Through the course of my day, two packages came to our house! The first one was the book The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. This was one of my Christmas presents but I asked for it in paperback and it didn't exist yet so I had to wait until it came out in paperback. Now I can start the series! Once I'm done reading my AP books... The second package that arrived were some doggy steps!! Since Mom and Dad got new furniture, they didn't want Jersey scratching it because she can't jump on the bed any more since she's old and fat, so Mom bought her steps! hahaha :) On the box it said "For little or old or spoiled pets" and Jersey fits all three of those!!! Mom and Dad both tried to teach her how to use them and I'm pretty sure she's afraid of them but oh well! Maybe she'll get used to them eventually!!
February 23, 2012
In between sleeping and sleeping, Mom had asked me to start dinner so I did that today! I pretty much made dinner even though it only involved taking the chicken kiev out of the packages and putting it on a pan and putting that in the oven...still...that was the main course! :) Fingers crossed for tomorrow! :)
February 22, 2012
Nothing exciting happened today except for the fact that I'm still getting sick :( I started feeling horrible during eighth hour :( After school I had an NHS meeting. It was the shortest NHS meeting in the history of NHS meetings! I really don't know what caused it to go so fast!!
We spent the day in econ Google searching Mr. Wooderson and then he somehow related that back to whatever the heck we were learning about...?
I had tumbling tonight and I'm so close to getting my full!!!! GAHHH!!! I'm almost almost almost there! My coach was literally jumping for joy because I was so close!! It's been two years...I'm ready for gosh sakes!!!
After I came home from tumbling, I watched American Idol for two hours instead of doing my homework....oops :) Oh well , I guess I'll do it now :)
February 21, 2012
It's hanging upside down in Mom and Dad's old room on a hook because we couldn't find a different place to hang it haha :) Also, you can see part of Mom and Dad's new bed that I forgot to mention in the bloggies that they received... :)
So like I said yesterday, I tried giving blood again today but sadly it didn't happen. My pulse was 120 then 109...ugh. And now I think I'm getting sick because something odd is happening inside my chest...boo. I'm going to mail in my scholarship tomorrow!! The one that took me FOREVER and a half to write the essay! I'm glad to get the thing out of my sight finally! And that's about all today! Happy Tuesday!
February 20, 2012
After years of wanting to make a cook book, Mom finally decided to start typing up all her top secret recipes! She made such progress today!! Here she is, typing up the recipe to corned beef while wearing a blanky because our basement is the coldest thing ever!
Back to school tomorrow and then I'm going to try to give blood...again. Four day week!! Woohoo! Hopefully more exciting things will start happening in my life haha :)
February 19, 2012
Dad is also mentioned in the article because he saved somebody's life...no big deal haha :) Also during this visit, my auntie-poo brought over a sheet so that I could register to vote!!! So now I am registered...or at least, I filled out the paper to be registered. Eventually we went home and Mom and Dad took Jersey on a walk! She was super stoked! While they went on the walk, I did this! :
I've been wanting to do it for awhile so I decided to try it out today! I didn't really know what I was doing so it's not as good as I wanted but I think next time I try, it will be better! This person has a very simplified explanation of how to do it! I also did more homework today, specifically econ...boo. And that's pretty much all that happened today....yup. :)
February 18, 2012
Tomorrow I'm going to try to give blood again so wish me luck!!! Here's an adorable picture to make the perfect end to your Saturday!! :

After that, I randomly had to go to an algebra classroom because they had a sub and apparently needed my help if kids had questions on their worksheet. Keep in mind that I took that class in eighth grade so I pretty much just pretended to know what I was talking about when I helped the kids....After German, I had gym which we spent the whole class sitting and talking since we didn't have to dress. I learned that whales can't breath under water and that they actually breath air!! I don't know where I've been all my life to not know this, but I'm glad I finally found out! This means we can keep them in our pockets if we ever have the super power to shrink them! :) After that, we did random stuff in econ and then we did a Kakuro puzzle in calc that I finished when I came home! When I came home, I found Jersey just laying on the couch like a lump so I decided to take another picture! :
AWWWWWWWW!!!!! Just look at those cheeks!!!! I ate lunch at home then headed for conferences! I helped out at conferences for NHS hours and also cause it's kind of fun even though it's kind of tiring being in school all day! I helped Mrs. Van and Arzu helped Mr. Tebo so we were right next door to each other!!! We just had to cross off names of the parents that come so that they know who showed up. That was from 2-5, then there was a break for dinner and Arzu and I went to Subway where we talked (mostly Arzu :) ) the whole time! A lot of it was ranting too haha :) We also saw two teachers from our school which was kind of awkward....On our way out of the parking lot we saw this random obstacle by the gas station and we had no idea what was going on hahaha:
What is it?!?! Nobody knows. Then we headed back to school for the last half of conferences which were from 6-9. My face hurt from smiling by the end of the day and I had a headache from the fluorescent lights I think haha, I'm a loser :) We spent the time just talking with the teachers and doing crossword puzzles with words that don't exist and aren't in the actual puzzle so it wasn't that bad! It was my last conferences at high school :(!!!!

It doesn't look like much, but it HURTS! Mom and Dad don't care, naturally. So, moving on in my story...
Dad and I came home and Mom was out grocery shopping with Grandma so she wasn't home. There were truffles on the counter (seen above) that Mom had labeled that we were allowed to eat! Dad and I were talking about something along the lines of truffles when a car pulled in our driveway and I was all "oh, Mom's home" and Dad was all "really?" and then I noticed it was a smaller car and then I saw some light reflect off the side of the car so that I could vaguely make out the markings of a police car...UMMMMMM!?!?!?!! Obviously my first thought was all, "policemen only come to your house to tell you someone died...." Eventually he came to the door and Dad went outside to talk to him and I swear this guy could have not made the situation any worse!!! In the most monotonous, sincere voice he was all, "Are you Mr. Sullivan?...There was an accident on route blah blah blah" at which point, Dad fully stepped outside and the door closed and I could only hear parts of the conversation. He started listing off our license plate number and I knew Dad didn't know it so I opened the door to try to help by saying what our license plate started with. Then, finally, after about two minutes of this police guy being at our door, he was all, "it was a minor accident, your wife bumped into somebody, there's not going to be an arrest..." The last part makes me laugh cause I'm trying to imagine my mom arrested hahaha, anyway, good news bears, NOBODY DIED!!! Better news bears, Mom wasn't in an accident at all hahaha. Apparently the douchey driver of the car that was hit just put the blame on the first car he found and copied down the license plate number! So, yay! But seriously, that was the scariest moment of my life. I was literally shaking! And Dad says he doesn't even remember the police officer saying half the things he said because he thought Mom was dead too. Mom had to call the police guy and they got everything cleared out and she was all, "I was so flustered!!!" and I was all, "IMAGINE THINKING YOU WERE DEAD!!!!" So, yeah, appreciate what you have!!!! Geez.Oh yeah, then we ate the truffles.

Hi Lisa,
I got mixed up with my Valentines. I sent your
Valentine to Brenna. This Valentine was for Brenna. So --
I hope you like this one.
Hahahaha I couldn't stop laughing when I read it :) I don't even know how this happens but it's the thought that counts! Haha :) So that's what happened today in a nutshell! I'm kind of burnt out from writing my essay and don't feel like typing much, sorry! :)
February 12, 2012
My next even was at 6 and awards were apparently an hour behind so instead we just sat in the gym and watched as they slowly took down everything around us except the chairs we were sitting in. I was eventually called for double mini and I ended up getting first on that too!!! Yay! And I actually stuck one of my passes which is never a good thing for practice because I can't stick for my life and whenever I try to get out of punishments for not sticking, Sue's always like, "You can stick at meets" hahaha It's not my fault, it just happens :) I would like to show you videos of that but it's not letting me upload them so...SORRY! Maybe I'll add them on to tomorrow's blog.
After I got my award, we left to come home because Mom really wanted to see the Grammys! So now she's watching that and I'm working on my A Tale of Two Cities essay...fun. I had three essays I wanted to get out of my life this weekend and so far I have completed...zero.
Happy 203 Birthday to the best president ever!!!!!
February 11, 2012
Excuse me, Mr. Trophy Guy, what kind of start is that exactly? At one point during the meet, when someone finished, they managed to splash in a way that all the water went directly up between my legs so that it looked like I peed myself :( It was a very awkward rest of the meet. Then, when we were leaving, some kid from the winning team was like, "I play football, ladies" in which Sarah later told me we should have been like "that's cool, so does my boyfriend!" hahaha :) After the meet, I had to go over to Sarah's house because even though I reminded her on Thursday and last night and this morning to bring eight dollars for her swim shirt and her captain shirt, she STILL forgot!!!! Hahaha so I followed her home to her house on Lisa St. :) :
Fifty bazillion dollars to those who remember when this street sign was my POD for my first year! I took another picture today even though I already have a picture of it :) Maybe I should take a picture every time I go to her house and make an awesome collage later in life...? That would be pretty awesome :) The only problem is that I never go to her house haha :) I'll never get over the fact that she didn't tell me she lived on Lisa St. until we already knew each other for a year!!! That would be the first thing I would tell someone if my street name matched their name! Even though I highly doubt I'll ever meet anybody with my street name... Anyway, I got the captain shirt and the shirt money so the captain shirt will be in Amelia's hands soon!!! When I came home, Dad had this article waiting for me on the table:
For years I have been saying my name is very old and the 'rents always denied it, their way of getting around it being pointing out 40 year old women and saying "See, she has your name!" not realizing that they were making my case stronger! Anyway, I think they finally accepted it today because the newspaper said so haha :) And if you actually read the list, you'll notice my middle name is on it too...
The rest of the day I spent doing homework which was actually pretty productive!! Then I played Just Dance which wasn't nearly as fun without Kelley :( I miss my sissy! Sorry today was such a long post haha :)
February 10, 2012
Here's a little story about my shirt: I bought it YEARS ago because Kelley told me it was super cute but I always felt uncomfortable when I wore it so I never did...until today! I decided to get over my fear because I also think it's cute but there's an awkward elastic at the bottom which, as I told Katie, makes a weird muffin skirt if it slides up my body (which happens anytime I move). As it turned out, a lot of people told me they liked it so I think I'll wear it more often!! This isn't a really good picture of it but I promise it's cute :)
Today in econ was perhaps my favorite so far. We were legit going insane from a week of school...I can't even imagine what May's going to be like if we're already like this in February haha :) I can't even explain what was going on. None of us were paying attention and there were so many conversations that may or may not have had to deal with the subject we were learning which was about insurance. At one point the conversation turned to naked doctors...(it was Mr. Wooderson's fault). I also told my nasty feeding-a-dolphine-a-nasty-dead-fish story. Yeah...then we randomly had a sub in calc and a surprise group assessment that none of us knew about haha. In psych we got to stare at a baby for a while which made my whole day 10x better, so it was a pretty fine day overall :) Oh yes, and it also snowed! Because the roads only decide to be icy when it's a Friday and there's no hope for a snow day the next day...

1. She was collecting them to turn in later for money
2. She was some sort of pop addict
2. She was some sort of pop addict
3. She was superstitious and believed they were good luck
We had a problem with the first option because we couldn't figure out why she would bother bringing them to school but number 2 seemed reasonable since she also had a cup of pop on her desk while we were talking about it! Anyway, we are currently participating in a fundraiser war thing with other first period classes!! It's to raise money for leukemia by bringing in pennies for your box and bringing in silver coins for other peoples' boxes as sabotage! The winning class gets a free Olive Garden meal as if saving children's lives wasn't incentive enough :) We decided during class today to hide our box in plain sight in a place where nobody would bother to look but yet we couldn't get in trouble for "hiding" it because it's clearly out in the open. The winning location was the top of the cabinets haha :) So Humberto volunteered to put it there. When the sub noticed she was all, "what are you doing" and he was all, "just going down there" and then she was all, "oh, okay". hahaha Then at some point, Tyler decided to help point out a good place for the box to nuzzle into its home. In this picture you can see the nice painting Collin made freshman year for a To Kill A Mockingbird project, and you can see Meghan looking beautiful :)! My favorite hiding box idea was Katie's which was to put tissues sticking out of the coin slot hole so people would think it was a tissue box hahaha :)
On a totally unrelated note, I came home to this today! :
Yay! 1000 pageviews!!! I was waiting for it to hit 1000 but I didn't think I would actually get to see it when it happened hahaha :) Thank you to everybody who's interested in my not-so-interesting life haha <3

I was very productive after school today! I finished my psych essay and found a third article for my econ essay (there are currently five essays that are apparent to me in my life at the moment...boo) all before tumbling!!! I'm amazing :) Then I came home and slowly started sorting out things I need for scholarships. Then I did half my psych notes in which this ADORABLE picture appeared:
February 7, 2012
Something awesome/creepy happened to my mug today. I was drinking out of it at lunch and all of a sudden I saw a scratch on it and got sad but then I looked closer and saw where the scratch was...:
It's slices directly through this girl's throat and stops after that hahaha. We all found it really creepy and are hoping it's not predicting the future or anything haha. Katie said she would feel bad for laughing if it actually came true :) Let's all hope Claudia does not get decapitated any time soon!
On a totally different note, the best quote of my day/life came from Katie: (side note: this happens after a guy in our class pretty much says we're all horrible people but apparently that was not what he was trying to say...I don't know, I got confused with the conversation haha) Katie: "I think I'm nice." (short pause when I agree). Katie (in the most angry voice possible): "Who the eff does he know that's nicer than me." (short pause where we stare at each other) *burst out laughing*. I love her :) I don't think it's as funny if you read it but the moment was awesome :) That's all for today!
February 6, 2012
Today I was given a lot of homework which was actually just for psych but I decided to get other things done as well. In lit, we have a word of the week and at the end of each week, somebody presents the word to the class in a snazzy way so that we all remember and I chose to do the word this week! The word is "putrid" and I spent my night working on the power point which is pretty great in my opinion! :)
I woke up late today and I was overcome with the feeling of not going to school but I pushed through and went haha. Senioritis is a pain...I kind of wish it held off for a couple more months! But only four months left!!
February 5, 2012
Today we had team pictures for tumbling! They took about a half hour and it was pretty much just us standing around for 29.5 minutes and then smiling for .5 minute. And then I went home and Kyle made lunch which was really good and healthy haha :) Then I worked on my econ study guide which I think was the fastest study guide I have ever completed so far!! Yay for being productive! At one point in the middle of doing the study guide, Kelley and I went to Walmart for some things. I got cute thank you cards and a mechanical pencil because I seriously have a problem with pencils that don't have a very fine point! I'm always sharpening my pencil, which is a problem, and I'm surprised I waited this long to get a mechanical pencil. When we got home, Kyle was already on his way back to Chicago. I did more homework and then it was time for Kelley to leave. I stayed home because I have too much homework...boo :( So that's all that happened today!!! I already miss my sibs :(
February 4, 2012
It is a mermaid dress...yay! I'm super in love with it because I really wanted a colorful dress this year and because it's awesome. I also decided I'm probably going to wear my yellow converse with them since my arch-happy feet don't fit in heels and I'd rather have comfortable shoes that I love than miserable shoes that I'll wear for two minutes and never again! I also picked out a hairstyle today so I'm pretty much set haha :) As you can see, Jersey was super jealous that she wasn't the center of the photo shoot so Kelley was kind enough to take this adorable picture of her :) :
Awwwwwwww :) After this, Kyle came home and we set out for dinner! We went to Mimi's Cafe which was a cute place that apparently liked to use French words I didn't understand in the menu. I got the Chicken Cordon Bleu since we've always eaten frozen ones and I wanted to see what a real one was like! It was delicious but I was super full and couldn't finish it all! The POD today is all of us in the restaurant! I fell asleep on the way home and then again on the couch once we got home and woke up when Kelley walked upstairs with my present!! She got my an adorable yoga mat and is knitting me a yoga mat bag and yoga socks hahaha :) They're all soooo cute :) Then after that, we (by "we" I mean, my familia) sang "Happy Birthday" and I blew out my candles again! :
Isn't the cake just soo cutee!!!!! Mom made it, of course :) The baby owlets no longer exist :'( Oh, and don't mind my turtle lips in the last picture.....After cake, we watched Slumdog Millionaire and now I'm writing this!
So awkward moment of the day time (this should be a new thing here) : Today at the bridal store, the lady who checked us out was talking to Kelley when we were leaving and she was like "have a nice weekend home" and I, thinking she was talking to all of us, brilliantly decided to respond, "Thanks, you too!!!" after which Kelley said "thanks" and I realized she 1. wasn't talking to me and 2. was not going anywhere after this weekend... I felt like a complete idiot. Gah.
Well that's all I guess! Team pictures tomorrow!
