Bathroom

When I moved into the house I now live in I did not want my bathroom. My bathroom is almost hideous. The sink, toilet, tub, and tiles are this old pale pink looking color. The walls are covered in a green wallpaper that has this paisley looking design except that they look more like strawberries instead of flowers. On the bottom half there is a dirty looking cream color with the strawberry vine thing making a pattern. Any way best bathroom design ever.

My bathroom looks very dark and did not have a window. So this winter while I was away at college my parents put in a window without my knowing it. When I got home I got the surprise. While the window was great they had to tear down some of the wall paper and since the paper had been there for 25 years to begin with it was coming off. This added to my summer and an awesome unused home depot gift card I will be redoing my bathroom. I am really excited to do this, I took down half of the wallpaper already and cant wait to buy the paint.

Weekend Highlights

This past weekend I went to TureWind. It is an event that is usually held at my old High School, Blue Mountain Academy. I really like going to the event cause its just one of those things that I can count on every year to make me really happy and feel connected to God. This year was my second year volunteering and helping out. Last year I helped with set up for green room but was not there for the weekend, but did photography instead. I had a blast and got a lot of exercise running all over stage and the gym.

This year I decided not to do much photography, besides the fact that I hurt my back they had a kick butt photo crew this year. I helped out with green room for the whole weekend this time and made sandwiches and heated up soup for out awesome guests. Like Joe Castillo the sand artist, Sky Solo and awesome indie christian group, resound and the speakers. The theme for this year was The Crew, in leadership. "Never do leadership alone."

One of the other big things that I LOVE about going to truewind is seeing all of my awesome friends that I don't get to see the rest of the school year since I go to Andrews, in Michigan. My best friend Carly was definitely on the top of my list, next to Danika, Mrs. Manente and Briana. By the end of saturday night I was exhausted I got home around 2 in the morning. But it was all worth it. In the end awesome weekend.

The beginning of summer 2011

I know I opened this account in 2007 wrote two posts and then never touched it again. Sad. Well I am going to start over now.

I have now been home from Andrews a total of 12 days. I think on the fourth day I began to get really bored being around the house. Last week was actually in a way a little torturous. I really wanted to go out and do something but couldn't really pick up my lazy butt to do anything. I did however go in to try and fix up my work schedule, then my manager told me that I should start the next Monday, 5-9-11. But guess what I didn't, and now I am out of a job. Isn't that fancy?

See this summer is going to be really busy for me. I decided to take two summer classes, which could be fun I guess. I am taking General European History at ESU right by my house in May and then at the end of July I will start my second class, a ceramics class at NCC. In between both classes I am going on an Educational tour through Europe, which I am really excited about. But needless to say everything is really tight and costs some money. I really wanted work to fit in my summer, but apparently work did not want me. :(

Well I still want a job, so I applied to as many Dunkins as I could since I have the working experience there, hopefully someone will hire me.

But for now I have been trying to be productive and keep myself occupied. On Monday I tried my cooking talents. I made home made cheese bread, tried making homemade tomato soup (the first one failed miserably, but the second one which was can soup with a little twist succeed.) my mom made the salad, and for dessert warm banana pudding. Yesterday, Tuesday I went to Midas to get my dad's car inspected and went out with my Bf to apply to summer jobs. I also watched Billy Elliot, which turned out to be a pretty great movie.

Today I decided to clean my car, I was going to wash the outside with special car soap and rinse it with a hose. Then I wanted to vaccum out the inside of the car and clean the seats and dash with this really cool car wipes. Well halfway through cleaning the outside of the car I bent down and picked up my bucket of special car soap and not special water and I leaned wrong and pulled something in my back. Even though I felt the pain and knew I did something awful, I was stubborn and finished washing my car. (Idiot) When I came back in the house I kinda sat around for a while thinking oh you know it will go away soon enough. Ya right. I went to the chiropractor, and he told me ya you really hurt your back, gave me muscle relaxants, told me to put ice on it, gave me a couple exercises to help my back and made another app. for me.

I really wanted to be active and keep myself busy, but apparently productivity doesn't want me either. :( So now I'm sitting at a dumb chair feeling like my back is 50 years old with nothing more to do then start up my blog again. I am not however saying that this is a bad thing though.

Well I guess I might be on here more often, now.

My work

So for the past 2 weeks ive been doing nothing for work. I worked at D&D over summer and it was really fast paste i know ive said that alot in my blogs not just here but on myspace and no im not like proud of it or anything but i did work there and it was semi fun.
Well i was kinda hopeing working at the abc would be fun and I'd learn stuff quick and it be cool ya know?! Well it wasnt, i mean its nothing against bex cause she's barley at work. And besides when me and bex work together it tons of fun! (jealous?) well i was filing paper for a while and the only reason i found that to be was because all the other ppl that work at the abc like the older ppl dont really want to teach me stuff cause it'll take alot out of them and then i could do filling cause they dont want to and cause i dont know anything and it wont matter. So i was doing that for, forever and it wasnt fun. I might as well add that im not done filling cause we ran out of folders and they havent botten more. Well anyways i must finish my complaint later cause i have to go pick up bex so we can go to dinner!
