Howdage. Me and my mom went to the dentist today at 11. Ahhh i hate the dentist. But i didnt have any cavities and the assistant was 23 and she was nice. Then we went to Sonic Yummm. And then we went to Old Navy. I wanted to get this long denim skirt that i was dying for but i went in and got 6 things and tried them on lol. I wasnt gonna buy any of it but i wanted to see how it looked with the skirt. But anyway i tried on a pink sleevless shirt for 3.99$ but that didnt look good. And i tried on a long sleeve peasant type top that was cute but u could see my skin on my stomach cause it was real see through white and it showed cleavage lol. But it was cute. And i tried on 2 3 quarter length button ups. Those rocked the hizzo man. I tried on a striped one and a black on and it was the cutest outfit. I was SO excited cause i felt so thin! Cause it made me look thinner and the striped was trendy and the black made me look smaller. So i was excited. And then i tried on a short denim skirt and i didnt think it would look good but it did and it was only 8.99$! I was so excited so we got that too! yay!

I Was Little Miss Drive Around Today!

Haha i went and drove around all day today. Well my mom and Adam went to Uncle David's house (poor souls), so i went shopping and looking around!

Well i left at like 9:30 this morning and i drove to Panera. And i went in and got a Decaf coffee cause the other day at Barney's i got one and it was wonderful, but it tasted like the coffee here, but it was still good. But anyway then i went into Target. I wanted to look for the eye shadow that i cant find there that Ashley has. Couldnt find it.

Then I went to Walmart and got school supplies. I felt so proud walking around by myself with my buggy knowing i was there alone and i was gonna drive myself home. Haha, lame i know, but hey i felt good lol. And i didnt get a buggy cause i was gonna get a basket but i didnt see one and i had all my school supplies in my hands and i was dropping it so i found a random cart and took it. Haha. U know u would think with all the school supplies there, a pack of paper would be easy to find. Nope. It took me forever to find it! But they had 5 packs for 95 cents so it was worth the search lol. And i went and bought the cutest pen bag. It's small and green and its got butterflies on it with green diamond studs! So cute! And i got a planner that rocks majorly.

And then after Walmart I drove over to Old Navy and tried on all kinds of clothes cause there having a 50-80% sale which rocks the hizzo if i do say so myself. There trying to get rid of summer stuff cause there putting out fall already. So i went and tried on the skirt im obsessed with and put tops with it. I tried on 2 sleeveless tops, a pair of dress pants, skirt, and a jacket. It was the cutest hoodie i tried on. It looked good with the skirt too. And the shirt i bought was only 3.99$! Can u believe it?!?!? I couldnt! I'm gonna go raid the store with my parents so i can buy more lol.

And then i went home and ate lunch and then i went and saw Christin at Harrison Bay. She's camping. So i went and it took me forever to find her trailer. But we went and swam. And the funny thing is that last time we did that, a big group of 10 year olds appeared 10 mins after we got there and splashed us and one hit me in the head. So we left then. And now were sitting there and 7 year olds come off a bus! Ahh!!! They never leave us alone! there was barely anyone there until they came! But hey werent too bad cause they stayed away from us. So then we went back and i came home. Fun day lol.

howdy. I dont think ive updated with a full entry in a while so i thought i would today. I have some frustrations to let out.

Let's see... Last thursday my mom had a meeting at school with the other lunch ladies about the school year with Coach Akins. So that was at 2 and i wanted to go to Khols, so my mom said i could drive us to school and i could drop her off and then go to Khols by myself. My parents wanted me to get some driving practice to school too cause i've only been to school once since school was out and i was driving everyday then. Well anyway i went over there and i went shallowford, over by the car lots and all, u know? And well i didnt realize that the lane i was in ended! So im driving along and all the sudden i saw a big sign painted on the road that said only and pointed to the right. So i freak out and then a guy was nice and let me over and i was like Praise The Lord! lol. And then i was waiting in traffic at a light and a construction worker was going around taking up money in a bucket that said feed the homeless children, and i only had a 20$ bill, so i took out all my change. And the guy goes, that's a mighty fine car you got there, lol and i go well thank ya! lol. And then i made it fine to Khols, except the road is HORRIBLE. They've been paving alot, so i hope they do that soon. But anyway i killed an hour or so there and then came back to school and i waited. I waited an hour i think in the sun. Ohh i was SO bored. But then randomly Jillian sent me a text message! I was SO excited cause i had someone to talk to! lol so then she told me her mom was there working on ID's for school. So i went and saw her and said hello. And then i drove to the gas station near school and got something to drink. And then i came back and waited about 10 more mins and my mom finally came out. She said it took so long b/c Coach Akins didnt get there till 3:15! The meeting was only a few minutes long! But its ok. I got some driving practice in and the afternoon passed by.

And then let's see what else did i do??...

Yesterday i went with Wendy and her fiance's sister to look for wedding dresses and we got our nails done. It was alot of fun. We went to David's Bridal and looked at bridesmaids dresses and she tried on a wedding gown that she loved. It was good fun lol. And then i came home and my uncle, aunt, and grandparents were there. We had a going away party for my aunt and uncle who are moving for the millionth time. Ahhhh it was a wonderful thought to know that i wont see them for a REALLY long time. Cause Christy (crazy cousin) is in the Marines at 17, i know shes insane, and i wont see her for a while either, so this was a great parting for me. I know i sound mean cause i dont wanna see my family, but hey they scare me, they're weird, i only see them 2 times a year anyway so its all good.

Oh and i wanted to voice my anger about my mother again. Don't worry Megan, its ok to be mad and yell at ure parents lol. Well anyway i was talking to my aunt about my classes for this year cause she asked me and i told her I was gonna take AP Biology, but i couldnt cause too many people signed up for it. And then my mom goes, " No she didnt get in cause she had a C, tell her the truth." And i was about to say what the fuck? (sorry for the language), U have no right to sit here and tell other people about my grades, which didnt have that much to do with me not getting in the class. I wanted to kill her. And to top it off, she pointed her finger at me. I can see now why Adam always gets mad at her. I will be so excited when i can go to college and live away from home. U have no idea how happy i'll be. I can get away from my mother. oohhhhhh i wish i could get away from her now. Ahhh ok im done about her.

Ohhhhhh I called Christin yesterday and we talked for a bit. She just got back from band camp and she told me all about it. And then shes going camping today at Harrison bay! YAY! I'm gonna go see her this week! Im so excited!

And anyway she said that at camp they were talking about our english teacher. They said it might be that young guy that we saw at the end of the year with Mrs. Wood. You were right Jillian lol. He's 26, right out of college. And i hear he's kinda cute... But i dont know that, so if he's not, dont look at me lol.

Jillian, i need to talk to u about church.

Mrs Taylor called me today. She's just as loveable and vivacious as she is in class on the phone...

Well anyway i'm screwed cause i knew it would be about my schedule. Something didnt fit or something like that, like last year. But anyway i cant take AP Biology this year cause too many people signed up for it and Coach Cole had to weed people out who had a C at ANY time during the year. And I had a C for the first semester which blows. But i'll just take it when i'm a senior. I'm taking Biology 2 now lol. I was gonna take that senior year anyway so its just switched around. It's kinda better actually cause Coach Johnston doesnt teach so it should be an easy A hopefully.

Mrs Taylor kept wanting me to take physics and i was like huh??? I was like u must be crazy to think im gonna take chemistry all over again. She was like u dont wanna have 3 biologies all through out highschool do u? u'll get tired of it! I was like sure...

my mother is going to go back to work at school in the cafeteria. Someone please shoot me now.

But praise the Lord its probably only going to be 2 times a week.

oh im going to die.

Pirates of the Caribbean! Score!

I SAW PIRATES OF TH CARIBBEAN AGAIN LAST NIGHT! YAY! IT WAS SO GOOD! And Johnny Depp look good... ahhhh. I think i stared at him more this time than last. I told Jillian when he was in jail that the jail cell bars were a perfect fit for someone's face. Johnny and Orlando put both of their faces right up next to it to talk and it fit perfectly! All u could see was a little forehead and it started at his cheeks and showed just his face, no jawbones or anything. Woo, perfection.

Well let me tell u about my day yesterday! Well i wake up and i start thinking about the movie. I thought about it ALL day long. I was so bored and had nothing to do and i was just dying for the time to pass. And i was gonna take a shower at 2:00pm, so my hair could air dry, but i ended up taking it at 1:00 instead b/c i was so anxious lol. But that turned out to be a good thing cause my hair needed more time to dry. But anyway I got ready and all and I left at 4:45 to get there by 5:30 and i went the backstreets (HAHA!) on the TNT plant to get there and the roads are absolutely awful over there and they were paving finally. But they were only letting 1 lane be open, so i got to sit with my foot on the break for 10 mins. I sat there and sweated thats what i did. Yay. But anyway i got there at the perfect time b/c Jillian called me when i was just pulling in and Megan wasnt there yet so it was all good. Well i parked far away so i could pull up straight and not have to back out, so i was at the end of the parking lot lol. Well anyway i got there and i didnt wanna stand in front of the theater cause i would of looked stupid, so i went and sat down at a table for a minute or two and then i see Jillian looking around for me lol. SHE LOOKED SO CUTE! She had the cutest outfit on cause she had come straight from work. She had on a black skirt, a white button down blouse, and a pink sweater vest that had a j on it! How cute was she! So we talked for a few mins and then Megan came bobbing along lol and i gave her a hug and she told me i looked thinner! yay! All this hardwork is paying off for something finally lol. 17.5 lbs ladies! it'll hopefully be 30 lbs by school lol.

And i am not just saying this cause Megan said i was, she looked thinner too. She looked so cute too! She had on the new balances we have to wear for school and they were brand new, so they were spotless, they were so clean lol. I love new, clean shoes, they make me feel good lol. And she had on jeans and and a bright pink shirt from Old Navy that looked good with her hair and skintone. Sorry i notice everything, Megan's just a cute girl lol.

Well then we bought our tickets and went to eat. And Jillian and Megan got Taco Bell and I got Chik-fil-a and Amanda McPherson waited on me and we talked about school and all. She's real nice. She's always working when were in there and we always eat chicken too lol. I wonder if she notices that...

Well anyway we were eating and all the sudden Jesse (jillian's brother) walks by and i point to jillian and i'm like ok why is Jesse randomly walking around the mall lol? And Jillian yelled at him lol and he came over and talked to us for a minute. He showed me his phone cover. It was cute. It was silver and had a blue dragon on it. I like Jesse, he's cool. He's a good brother Jillian! Be grateful u have a nice one!

And then we went to Spencers cause Jillian wanted to see if American Pie guy was working and he was lol. He still look good after 3 years lol. Well anyway Jillian showed me all this Elvis stuff they had and of course i freaked out and i bought a license plate for the front of my car that was only 8$! yay, cant wait to put that on there lol. And then we walked down to Hot Topic and Megan and Jillian both bought something too. And then we went to the movie and went to the bathroom. And apparently i put my ticket into my spencer's bag and forgot cause when i got out i couldnt find my ticket anywhere. Yay me, so i went and stood in the longest line known to man for another one. I'm just glad i had more money. But i think im gonna try and use that ticket when I go see it with Ashley, cause they only look at the movie, not the date or anything, cause i bought the ticket, just not on that day lol. Well they went on in and saved me a seat, and i have to mention they picked a good spot. Good choice guys! And i walked in during the preview of Viggo's new movie! Lucky me! And then we watched the movie! Yayage!

I would look at Megan everytime Johnny said Savvy lol. He said it like 5 times and i didnt catch that when i saw it the first time, even though we didnt know what it meant lol. And i sat and did hand motions in front of Jillian's face during the movie to be like Johnny haha. I did it to Megan once too and she cracked up lol. haha it was a great movie. "The rum! Where's the rum!?!?!" HAHA. Omgosh there were some girls in the movie theater that wanted some with Johnny if u know what i mean. The girl in the movie was like i havent had enough rum for this kind of talk, cause he put his arm around her and the girls go I have! I was like woah lol. But hey, i dont blame em, i feel the same way lol.

And then at the end of the movie, Jillian ran out the door to go pee and me and Megan ran after her lol. And then i took some pics with my camera and went to my car and went home. Fun night if i do say so myself lol.

Oh yeah and right before the movie, we saw Chase Morgan and 2 other freshmen with him, and one was Robby's brother. Mmhmm yeah, it was him, i freaked out.

I really need to update, but im not going to right now lol. If i have time i think i will tonight.

Going to see Pirates of the Caribbean today! YAY! *screams* Orli! I'm taking my 2 Legolas dolls....

Well i said i might update tonight and here i am.

I SAW PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!!!! *breathes for air*

Oh my goodness that was the best movie! It was so groovy! Groove approve! haha i havent said that one in a while. Well anyway my Orli looked hhhhhhhhhhhooooooootttttttttttttt but Johnny Depp looked up to par too. Wooo hottness on both accounts. Ok i have to say I couldnt understand Johnny that well with his accent and all. I mean he did it great considering he's American, but i couldnt understand all that great, but besides that he was hilarious and he look ggggoooooooddddddd. And i thought it was hilarious that the entire time he walked like he was drunk, like that was the way he walked on purpose in the movie, with all the hand motions and dainty leg stuff lol. Hoootttt.

Well anyway before we went there, we went to get my uniform stuff at Educationl Outfitters. I got another skirt and the polos. Those were all ready to be picked up and then i tried on a pair of pants and I loved them! I thought they would look bad but they looked great! And my mom said they made me look thin too so thats a plus lol. So we got a pair of khakis. Ok why does my mom have to tell everyone that were fat? or that i am specifically when i try on clothes to buy? She tells random people that she doesnt know that we have trouble in the stomach area. And i was like 'we' do? I mean come on! It would be like her telling people my bra size, i mean come on dude. Privacy.

Well anyway when we were leaving we were talking to the lady that's always there, i dont know her name but she's real nice. But anyway before we left she goes "You have got the prettiest skin. I noticed that when you came in." I was like awwww!!!! Thank you! I go no thats not it, i just cover everything up well and she goes oh no theres nothing to cover up. I was like well thank u! that's the first compliment i've had on my skin, it made me feel good. Usually i hear hair compliments, which are great too dont get me wrong, but i liked the skin one cause my face used to be awful ahhhh.

Anyway let's see if theres anything else i can think of to tell.

Oh yeah i drove to Wynnsong last night by myself! Yay! I felt so old! lol. Well actually the entire movie, i sat and looked at my watch cause i was nervous about driving home in the dark b/c i've only driven about 3 times in the dark, period. So it was a first to drive to the mall and back and then in the dark too. I did fine though. The only thing is that the roads are awful and i couldnt see all the holes in the road cause it was dark. So the entire time i was like ahhhh!!! my cars gonna die!! But i was fine.

Oh yeah one more thing! Today before the movie, they had a preview of Viggo's (aragorn from lotr) new movie! Yay! It looks really good too. Its called Hidalgo. He has this horse and all and he's a cowboy and he goes on some contest in the desert in Saudi Arabia to win mucho dinero. It looks really good. Bye!

im back! ...need...to see....pirates...caribbean...ORLANDO

Borage

Hey guys. Once again i havent had much to say unless u wanna know about my diet lol. I was telling Jillian about it the other day and she made me feel good cause I told her i'd lost 16 lbs! yay! Well I lost 10 from my tonsills and some before school was out and now me and my family are on the Atkins diet and it's working great! Were kinda getting sick of eggs and salad and sausage and green beans and all but hey i'm losing so i'm gonna keep eating it lol.

Well anyway guess where i get to go today! A family reunion! Yay! (can u feel the sarcasm?). Were going to tunnel hill to one of my mom's aunt's houses i think. I've never met half the people that are gonna be there and i know whats gonna happen. I'm gonna meet someone new or someone i met when i was 3, which doesnt count i know but it does to them, and there gonna go "Oh Cortney your so big now!" and then they'll say a little side comment to my mom or dad and go "I havent seen her since she was this big" (points out a height with their hand). Oh i'm ecstatic lol. But it's good i guess since Christy won't be there. She's my cousin who's insane. She joined the marines and she's 17, thats not that insane part, she was wacky before she left. So she cant harass me. But come to think of it, the only person i'll have to hang out with is Adam! Ahhh!!!!!! But it shouldnt be too bad since he doesnt talk haha. 2 of my second cousins are suppose to be there and one's 19 i think and she's really pretty. She went to GPS. And the other one is 15 i think and her name is Casey. Her aunt told my mom she's really mature, so i might talk to her some. Oh i cant wait to see people i dont know lol. My mom doesnt even know everyone and it's her family! She said there's kids and husbands she hasnt met lol. I dunno, we'll see.

Ok Jillian just informed me that COACH BARNES WAS AT CHURCH TONIGHT! *screams bloody murder* Oh my goodness someone please help me! HE WAS THERE! I COULD OF SEEN HIM! WHY WASNT I THERE???? OH THE PAIN! I HAVENT SEEN THAT HUNK OF BURNIN MAN SINCE 8TH GRADE! OOOOOHHHH!!!!! Oh i SO hope he's at church sunday! PLEASE LET HIM BE THERE! Ahhhh it'll make my summer if he's there! Oh the pain and agony! *falls over from lack of air*

I haven't done much lately. I've been bored as always lol. Oh something fun that happened, that made me feel good lol. Last night when me and my parents were coming home from the track, we were stopped at a red light and I was driving my car with the top down. And I look at the car in front of us and I see this little girl trying to turn around and look at us. And she's struggling and finally she gets turned around enough and she looks like she was 5 or 6 and had red hair and she was pointing and smiling at us and then she would do a shy wave at us and i'd wave back at her and she'd get all giggly lol. And then I saw she had a twin sister! So then she turned around and did the same thing and then all the sudden their mom looks in the rearview mirror and says something to them and they turn around and sit down real quick lol. It was cute lol.

Me and my dad went to get me floor mats for my car today and to Old Navy! Yay! We'll we went to look at floor mats and instead i was looking at all the other car accessories lol. They had some rearview mirror charms that jingled and they had license plates and covers. I saw a really cute one that was pink and it said Princess in aqua blue and it had glitter all over it. I think i might go back and get it and put it on the front of my car. it was cutesy.

And then we went to Old Navy and I went in and i got some blue jean shorts and i got a cute patriotic bag that had stars on it and it was red and white and it was covered in that clear plastic stuff to make it water proof. Well anyway it's got 2 big pockets inside and it's perfect for a make up bag so thats what im gonna use it for lol.

And then we went to Wendy's for lunch. Ok were on the Atkin's diet (if u dont know what that is, it's no carbs). And everything we wanted to eat or anywhere we thought of to go we couldnt get anything lol. But we went there and got a salad lol. Oh we SO wanted some fries and a burger. ahhhh i'm SO hungry right now.

And tomorrow me and my mom are going to get some uniform stuff. Yay.

haha i like my new icon :) Me and my mom are going today to get Jillian at work for lunch. Yay! Were gonna go get her at 12 and get her back by 1. I've got her gift too! I cant wait for her to see it. She's gonna die lol. Sorry not much else to say really. Me and my parents took a spin in my car last night up to Cleveland and back. I drove too. I was there chauffer for once haha. Hey sorry i can spell alot but i'm not too good on chauffer lol. Later.

Me and my family went to Charrabbas last night. It was ok. My mom had been there before and said it was good. Ok we got there at 5:20 and the line was coming out the door already! There was a 30 minute wait too but thats pretty good considering when we got called for our table the wait was an hour and a half. Well anyway we went in and u dont get regular garlic bread. Its not even garlic bread at all. U get like a loaf of bread and then your waiter brings a little pile of spices. Our dude said it had rosemary and garlic and some other stuff in it too but what they do is you have a bottle of olive oil on the table and they pour that on top and thats your sauce for your bread. I didnt want any b/c i still cant eat! I'm just starting to talk again so last night i was gonna get my mom to order for me, embarrassing i know. Well i got to order my water lol but that came out spitty. For some reason ive got extra spit when i talk lol. So when i said it i had a spit bubble in my throat, appetizing i know. Well i knew i would only eat like 10 bites of whatever i got, so me and my mom split something which was good cause she ordered lol. Well it was pretty good what we got but it started to hurt my throat so i didnt eat much. But my dads garlic mashed potatoes rocked. I loved those. It was ok, they didnt have alot to choose from. I think i like Olive Garden better lol.

My keyboard is poo right now. It wont type some letters i punch so i have to go back and do it again.

Ahhhhh i wanna talk again! I cant talk very well, sneeze, or yawn. The yawning part sucks. It hurts my throat to yawn, so when i make myself try not to it hurts like POO. I havent talked, yawned or sneezed in more than a week. Yall try doing that lol. But i've lost 10 lbs! I think i put that on here earlier, but oh well im happy! I put on some old jeans yesterday and a lot of them fit great. I was excited.

Surgery

Wow im alive. I thought i would inform u all of that since my last entry was only a couple of words. Ahh well i got up at 5:15 and we left and we got to the outpatient surgery place and no one was there. They told us to be there at 6:15 and surgery was at 7:15, so we get there and we cant get in cause everythings locked. But then we see a woman and she opened up for us and she said they dont really start anything till 6:45 so we were like crap! cause we coulda gotten more sleep. Well anyway we sit there for like 5 mins and then im called back and i got to pee in a cup lol that was interesting lemme tell ya lol. And then i went and this woman told me i had to change into a hospital gown and hat! I didnt think i was gonna have to change! Well i couldnt wear my underwear cause it wasnt cotton so i was nakie under my gown that ties in the back, u know the kinds. So i'm laying there and the woman's like are u ready? And i go yeah im just trying to tie the back, and she goes, oh dont worry with that, there gonna take it off anyway, I was like excuse me? I didnt find out anymore about that. Well then i got felt up by that same woman cause she put these wires on me. She put like 2 on my chest and then she moved the gown down and all the sudden i could see my boob and i was like Hey going a little bit too far there lady! And she had to move my boob over cause she couldnt see the skin where she needed to put it! My boobs are too big! So she physically pushed my boob over for me. Much appreciated i know. And then i sit there and then i have to get the IV in my hand. So another woman comes back and she sits there for 5 mins trying to find a vein in my hand. I have solved the problem of why my hands are always cold, i have small veins. She couldnt find one! Well then she goes were gonna have to use the hot towel method, and i was like wha???? She comes back with hot rags and puts on em on my hands and by the time she came back they were cold! But it worked and some veins popped up. So i get my iv, and i had waited there for so long i had to pee. I didnt know why cause i had just peed in that cup and i wasnt allowed to eat before surgery so i didnt know why. So i got to take the little stand with me and hold my gown closed and i wottled over to the potty. And then i got some joy juice, or thats why my dad calls it haha. I got anesthesia sp? and then i went night night lol. I got rolled down to the operating room and i saw bright lights and they told me to scoot over onto the operating table so i did and that was all i remember.

And then i woke up and i started talking like i had never had surgery cause it barely hurt so i was like hey this will fine. Well it wasnt fine 2 hours later. Pain. Well i can eat exactly 1 cup of jello in 30 mins. It takes me that long. Ive eaten jello and soup broth. And i weighed myself today and ive lost 8 and 1/2 lbs in 4 days! Im on a roll! lol sure.

Pain.
Gotta get off and go back to bed, been out of it too long.

ahhh tomorrow is the big day! I'm getting my throat cut out tomorrow lol. Well not really, just something in my throat haha. I have to get up at 5! Ahhhh cause i have to be there at 6:15 and have surgery at 7:15. My goodness my dad's friend said his son had it done and he lost 15 pds! All im gonna be eating is ice cream, jello, and soup. Oh u know i cant wait.

I dont really have much to say. I cant think of anything actually. Nothing has happened. I finished one of my summer reading books and i've peed about 20 times in the past 2 days cause ive drank so much water. Interesting huh? hey i need u all to pray for me for tomorrow k? I'd much appreciate it! thanks!

I went today and got some stuff. Me and my mom went to Books A Million and got the 2 books i need for English. I've already got the other 3 cause Adam had to read them. Hey ya know what? There all short too! Like the thickest one is 200 something pages i think and thats not bad either. But anyway I got House On Mango Street and something else, i cant remember lol. But anyway when we were there they had a whole table of lord of the rings stuff which i was magnetized to lol. I went all the way around the table, taking my time to look at everything individually lol. And we paid at the coffee spot there and they had a cinnamon roll bigger than my head and im not kidding. And then we went to Walmart and I got some make up and some other things for Jillian's gift which is complete now! The only problem now is I have to find her to give it to her lol. But anyway we went to a little shop near the mall and i made her something else too, so in all i have her 4 things. Ahhh shes gonna crack up lol. And then we were gonna go to the mall and I wanted to go into Pacific sunwear and look for some cell phone stuff but we didnt go, mom said we could go in a few days. Then we went into El Meson for lunch which was great. It's really good, i recommend it lol. And then we came home and I took a nap. And then it just rained and now the wind is picking up majorly and it looks like it could rain again.

Surf Girls tonight at 10 or 10:30 on MTV! Woo! Watch it!

I get my tonsills out on Thursday, ehh, sounds like fun eh? Well i get to get there at 6:15 and get up at like 5 something! joy! And then i'll get knocked out and be wheeled into recovery for an hour and then i'll be wheeled to the car lol. And then I wont eat anything for a while even though i'll be starving. And then my mom said that one of her friend's son had his out and if u take a little cup of water and drink it every hour of the night then it'll keep ure throat moist where u can eat some the next day. Joy, no sleep either.

Christin is over here right now! She spent the night. She's camping at harrison bay for 2 weeks (the 2 weeks ending on wednesday) so i got all excited since she was so close and i said we had to do something together lol. So after school yesterday when i got home she called and i begged my parents to let me drive over there by myself in my car lol. At first my mom was like NO NO WAY, and i was like DUDE come on! It's only 3 miles down the road and when i get near there the speed limit is 20! So she said call your dad. So i called and he gave in heahea. So i packed up my stuff and drove over there and i prayed the ENTIRE 3 miles there lol. I was so scared that i was gonna do something bad lol. But it was all good. I had like the ranger dude behind me the whole way there so it was like mom was there haha. But then i parked next to her trailer (which is the cutest thing ever lol) and then we drove down the pool, which we could of walked to but we wanted to ride in my car lol. So we went swimming and there was like 5 people there so we basically had the pool to ourselves and we were talking and all and then like 45 to an hour into our swim time, a group of church/day care kids came. And there were about 30 of them. All middle school. So they come and were like oh no. And we had our stuff laid out next to the fence and they just decide there gonna put all their crap around us where we cant get to it. So i get out and move everything over for them, im nice i know (sarcasm). And then they all were screaming the entire time and splashing water and then some girl was backstroking and she hit me in the head with her hand! She hit me! And i was like in shock and she goes, oh im sorry and swims off like it was nothing and then one of her friends behind us some distance starts laughing! So by that time we got sick of it and we went back to her trailer and hung out. And then i asked if she could spend the night and she could so we decided to go for a joy ride and get her car washed lol. So my mom wanted me home for dinner so i went home and ate and cleaned my bathroom and then i went back to her house around 7ish and we hung out some more and then she followed me to the gas station and we got icis lol. I wanted to drive us but my mom forbid me to take anyone with me since it was the first time i'd been on the road alone lol. So then she realized she'd forgotten her purse, so we went back and got it. And then on the way home, she drove up next to me in her car and she talked on the road lol it was great. And then we came home and got online for forever and then i did her make up which she loved lol. And i think were going swimming again later today, i'll write more later! bye guys!

No more Coach Heleton! Praise the Lord! Ok me and Lindley did good on our exam in there though. We had to get into groups and we were partners and we had to cover 3 chapters. We had alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse. So for each chapter we wanted to bring in food that goes along with our info. So for Drug abuse we didnt have any food but then i thought I could of gotten candy pills lol but anyway we did power point for that and made a poster that was the shape of a pill bottle and it was colored like one. And then for Tobacco we did a poster shaped like a cigarette and we were gonna hand out candy cigarettes to everyone but we couldnt find em! So we had tobacco gum! lol its the big league chew thats shredded like tobacco. And then for alcohol we had a wine glass poster and had sparkling grape juice in wine bottles, u know like welches? So we poured them that and gave em gum so it was all good. And at the end we had a whole pack of the gum left and for some reason Shelley and Jamie wanted me to stuff the whole pack in my mouth at once lol. I dont know why but they did and then everyone cracked up so i did lol. That was interesting. The pack probably had 10-15 pieces of gum in it so i ate it in sections and would take one section out and then when i was done i added it all together. I almost choked there was so much gum. But everyone got such a kick out of it lol. And then i took it out and all these poster boards were in the garbage so they told me to stick it to it and i did and it was a massive ball of spit and gum and it slid down the poster some, it was great lol. I said i wouldnt eat gum for a while though lol.

And then yesterday Megan gave me my birthday present! I flipped out! It was a little box she had painted black and then on top she had broken some plastic or something into all kinds of pieces and spelled out I heart BSB and then all around that she had pieces of mirror she's smashed. It was the cutest thing. And then inside she put red white and blue star buttons and 4 leaf clover buttons! I was so excited i about peed on myself lol. It was so great u have no idea. I dont know what im gonna put in it yet though. Probably something BSB lol. Ok Megan just so u know when I make my BSB video, thats gonna be on there and i'll say my friend Megan made this for my 16th birthday lol.

I had english and spanish exams today. Spanish was a piece of cake but English was kinda hard. But i didnt study too lol. After we took the exam we got our compliment sheets though. That was fun lol. Those sheets are fun. It made me feel good. I'm gonna put the compliments on here just cause I want to lol.

lol those crack me up. And then before the exam Ben was sitting behind me and he drew a smiley face on the back of my arm just because he said he was gonna die if he couldnt lol. And he almost ripped my hair out since he was using them as reigns lol. And then after the exam he was like i cant see the smiley! So he grabs my arm and rolls my sleeve up and he goes there ya go, show off those guns lol i was like surrreeee Ben haha. I was like Ben were not gonna have english together anymore! cause we had it together last year. And he was like yeah im gonna miss u Cortney, ure so fun lol and he came over and was trying to give me a hug while I was sitting down and it turned into a headlock lol. I swear he cannot be gentle or quiet, everything he does is loud and strong lol.

We took Christin home today too. She is camping at Harrison Bay so we took her home.

I got my license yesterday! It took 2 1/2 hours before i drove though! When i was done my knees were shaking lol. But my pic looks bad but thats ok. No biggie.

NO MORE CHEMISTRY!

PRAISE THE LORD! NO MORE CHEMISTRY! omgosh u have no idea how happy I am to be out of that class. Ahhh i thought it would never end. Ok I have to admit for the first time i didnt study for this exam. I went over the review sheet once, and all my tests once and i didnt really comprehend what I was reading cause I was watching tv actually lol. I was like ya know i dont care about exams for once. Cause if u really think about it, exams arent that important unless your almost failing or on the border line of a D and C or B and C or whatever. Cause otherwise if u have a 99 in a class for one nine weeks and a 98 for the other, pretty sure ure gonna have an A even if u bomb it lol. I think i would concentrate more on regular tests in the year than exams. But anyway that was my soap box, well i thought the exam was pretty easy considering i didnt study. I knew alot of the stuff, it surprised me. Mrs. Taylor gave everyone an ultraviolet bead bracelet, she said this is for yall to remember chemistry bye. I was like umm... haha...sure. They are pretty though in the sun. There clear in general and then in the sunlight they turn different colors there cute. I think i wanna go look for some more and make a necklace lol.


I have my Bible and Health exams tomorrow. Shouldnt be too hard. I'm just glad we dont have anymore full days. Oh the days go by so quick when their half ahhhh i cant wait lol. And then im going to get my license after school tomorrow! yay! From what i hear, i think i know what the course is and it's easy as poo lol. Me and mom drove it after school today, or what we think it is. I know my way around there anyway cause we go to the mall that way sometimes so it's all good. But Christin kinda scared me when she said that if u dont park between the lines or u go over a curb, its an automatic failure and u cant take the test again for another month :(. Better not do that lol. Pray for me and wish me luck guys! If i get it im gonna beg my parents to let me drive to school the last day. I dont think they'd mind as much since it's a half day and since no one is in the bottom lot lol. Today I saw Brittany's lone car down there so i'm gonna ask lol.

Birthday!

It's my 16th birthday! yay!!! I had a great day! Well let me tell u about the bad part first.

So yesterday I went to the special doctor for my tonsills and he said they were massive (which I knew) and I am having surgery June 5th! 2 weeks from today! And im the first surgeony that day so I have to be there at 6:15 bright and early. Yay. But anyway I talked so much yesterday at the doctors office to my dad, i was bothering him and this morning was my punishment. Well anyway we go home and my throat hurts worse (i have a sore throat, a throat infection i think). And i mean it hurt so bad it hurt to talk or open my mouth or move my tongue or anything. So then my head starts to hurt too. So it's making me sick and im tired so i run to bed as fast as I can. So im lying there and eventually I go to sleep. And that was at 9:30 and i woke up at 12:05 or so and my head is about to explode and my throat is on fire. So I lay there a bit and finally I get up and take some medicine and then I lay back down and im about to be sick. So I get up and im crying now cause I just want my head to stop hurting SO bad. So I go to the bathroom and sit there in front of the toilet for a few mins and I start coughing. And I gagged some and then I threw up twice. And then I start yelling for my mom and my dad comes in there, which is really weird cause my mom always comes but she didnt hear me. So my dad helps me back to bed and he sits next to my bed for like 10 mins or so and he gets me a wet rag (it always helps the head) and then he goes and gets me some water which helped my throat and he thought I should take some more tylenol and I was like no i already took 2 like 20 mins ago, but i didnt know if i threw it up or not. So he says he's gonna get me one and he did. So the entire time i keep asking if u can go to the hospital and get a shot to make a headache go away and i was like can we go? and he was like cortney u cant get a shot and i was like crap im gonna die. And i had just thought, its my birthday and i go, it's my birthday in my nonemotion voice and he goes Happy Birthday with a laugh and i smiled lol. So then I told him to go back to bed and he did and I layed there a while and i felt better. So i finally fell asleep and then I woke up at like 4 and my headache was gone! The entire time i had it i was praying for God to make it go away and finally when it did i said thank u Lord so many times. U cant count how many times I said it. So then i went back to sleep and woke up with my alarm, dead. I had gotten like 4 hours of sleep. But i felt fine. And all night when i was in pain i though Oh no im gonna be so sick tomorrow and cant go to school on my birthday and im gonna miss my classes and my tests and im gonna fail chemistry cause i missed so much and have to take it over! I think I have like 1 day left in Chem to miss.

But anyway i was fine and i got ready and all and we went to school and I heard a million happy birthdays and Jillian gave me a hug (yay! I felt good after that). And then when Katlyn came to wait on me from Chemistry she started screaming down the halls HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY CORTNEY! And I was like Katlyn AHH!!! lol. But anyway it was a good day cause we barely did anything in our classes. And I missed 3rd period cause of Chorus practice for graduation! yay! I missed the insane man! And we didnt take our SP test in english so today was good. But now I know why my throat hurts worse at the end of the day, cause im talking so much and im not kidding. I sang in chorus today and I was in pain by the end. Ahh cant do that anymore. And back to the bday, Meenal gave me the sweetest card ever! It was a regular card that she had written all kinds of quotes on! At first I thought it was a card everyone had signed but she put all kinds of stuff on it. My favorite one was "I hate the Backstreet Boys" - everyone but Cortney HAHA! I got a kick outta that one lol :) And then we went to Sonic for dinner cause I asked since it was my bday lol. Its my fave restaurant. I got my dinner and a sundae! yum! And then after school I drove my car home with the top down! I felt cool lol. it's been a good birthday. yay!

We scheduled our classes today for next year. My goodness all im gonna do next year is study. And today Mrs. Parrot scared the crap outta me when she said that whole thing about Physics being required. I was like "What the f***! I already have my schedule for the next 2 years! Now I basically have to take Chemistry all over again! Why are u trying to put me through hell?!?!" But it's ok now cause she said that was for the 8th graders right now that are going to be freshmen. So it's all good. Well here's what I think i'll be taking:

1. AP Biology
2. Ethics of the Bible, History of the Bible
3. AP History
4. Honors English
5. Spanish 3
6. Algerba 2
7. Study Hall

Now I was gonna take Biology 2 in the place of study hall so I wont have a science when i'm a senior, but Mrs. Parrot said that it would be really difficult having 2 Biologies and then the classes might overlap and learn the same things. So i'm taking Bio 2 when i'm a senior, yay.

But anyway onto something new! I'm getting sick AGAIN! Yay! Lucky me! Yes this is the 3rd time in the last month that i've been sick. I am gonna die one day of a cold, i just know it. Well I got really sick before the chorus trip with a bad sinus infection, and then i was almost completely better by the trip, and then that sunday on the trip i woke up and my throat hurt again! So I went back to the doctor and took more medicine. And now it my throat hurts again! yay me! And tomorrow i'm going to the eye, nose, ear, and throat doctor. Here's the background on that: My tonsills are majorly oversized, and by oversized i mean that when yall are sick with a sore throat and your tonsills swell up, mine are that size all the time. So basically my tonsills look like there infected all the time. That's how big they are normally. So every doctor that looks at them automatically says, Oh my goodness u have to have those tonsills taken out! Well everyone thought they would shrink as i got older, no. They've gotten somewhat bigger actually. So with all of my headaches and everything else wrong with me, i'm going to have them cut out. Oh yes, hopefully right when school is out, there getting cut out for good. Since i have a headache everyday (literally, im not kidding), they think that my enlarged tonsills could be the reason. And here are the reasons why: Well my aunt said that someone at her church was having headaches all the time and she got her tonsills out and they stopped. And then the doctor said that I could be having headaches b/c since I snore so loud, that that means im not getting enough oxygen to my brain when i sleep, so thats why i wake up with a headache, and then therefore that means im not sleeping well, so thats why im always tired and cold. This is gonna solve alot of problems. We checked to take em out 3 years ago and never did, i think it's a good idea now. So were going to see the dude tomorrow to get the ok about it and schedule a date. And im leaving school 10 mins early! And your probably thinking ok thats a whole lot of time Cortney, well im not going in till like 10:30 or 11 cause I dont wanna go to awards day cause I never win and I dont wanna sit there, and my mom has to sub at 11, so it all works out good! yay! Short day for me!

Well the chorus program went well, and hot too. I sat there and sweated the entire time. Since the gym has no air conditioning (and where does all of our thousands of dollars of tuition money go to?) i sat there and sweated the ENTIRE TIME. I got up when it was our turn to sing, an hour later, and my dress was wet on the front and back. Yeah it was wet all right. And then when we ALL got up there, the 200 of us or however many there were, i was sweating really bad. Ahhh why do I have to have sweat genes this bad? My entire family sweats like this. We sit there and sweat. Everyone used to stare at me in volleyball cause 20 mins into practice, all we would be doing was bumping and it would pour down my face. It was gross. Ahhh lucky me. Well anyway I was right. The slide show did last for an hour ahhhhhhh shoot me now.

Anyway, today around 1 or so I was counting my I Love BSB's, and im almost done counting by the way, so i'll be done writing soon too lol. Just thought u'd like to know that lol. Well anyway my dad knocks on my door and asked if I wanted to go drive my car and I was like YES! SCORE! But it didnt matter cause I was gonna drive it to chorus tonight, but it monsooned outside our house right before we left, so we didnt drive it. So we drove to Chik Fil A this afternoon and Adam said that people would look from their windows at the car lol. I was like yes! But the only bad part was like i was frying in the sun while I drove. I could feel the heat the whole time. I'm gonna get my tan from my car lol. But then when we got home, sweat rolled down my leg from the crease, and when i got up, my shorts were soaked and the leather was wet. Ew.

I GOT MY CAR!

I got my car!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!! Score!!!! We went right over there after school yesterday and I had a hay day lol. My dad drove it home and I blasted the radio lol. Ok this car has a system in it already! It has front and rear speakers, 6 disc cd changer, and the bass is SO loud. It booms and if I touch the dashboard, I can feel it vibrate lol. I can't wait to blast Backstreet Boys in it lol, i've already got Millennium and Black and Blue in the cd player lol. The only poo part of the whole cd this though, is that my cd burner is poo and it won't copy cds, only like burn from the computer, so I have to download all the songs that I already have on disc, to burn onto a blank cd. That's gonna take a while. Poo on it.

But anyway when we got home and after dinner and all me and dad went and took our route and drove it so I could get a feel for it. It moves really well. The wheel is really tight (no not "oh hey man that is tight! Not Kris K at school lol). 'Tight' as in, if u move it a smidge, the car moves, it's easy to handle. But the brakes aren't as tight as the van, I have to push a little harder on those. But dad said we can get em tightened later. I told him last night when we were at a red light that I felt special cause I had a converti and that on tv and in the movies, u always see someone in a converti at a red light when everyone is looking around at the cars lol. I felt cool lol.

Ok tomorrow is our chorus concert. Do u have any idea how long were gonna be there? Forever! Were last to sing and we have like 6 songs to sing just by ourselves, and then all the other choruses have to sing too. Oh goodness and then that stupid slide show will take another hour, I know your thinking, no it wont, oh yes it will. Trust me on this one. It took that long last year and I thought I was gonna kill myself. But I think the whole show will be fun. The 6th grade should love us too if they get to watch lol. I love them there awesome lol. "HEY GUYS, I WENT TO THE STORE AND I BOUGHT AN APPLE, A BANANA, A LLAMA, AND A ZYLAPHONE!" haha :)

Ok im really pist off right now. I was suppose to go right after school and get my car today, but no, the Fed Ex people couldnt leave the check like they were suppose to now could they? No they didnt! We were suppose to get a loan today in the mail, cause they came yesterday and no one was home so they left a slip of paper that said that we werent home and all and that since no one was home they couldnt leave the money. That was fine cause they said they would try again the next day. But on the slip of paper it said if your not home and u want us to leave the money anyway, sign and fill this out, so we did. They didnt leave it! And my dad took off half a day of work and all for this. But it's ok cause he went to the car place and made some deposit on it so it's ours and were getting it tomorrow. But it ruined my day cause i've waited all week for it and I was so excited about today and then I get in the car and my mom was like dad called and he sounded mad and he said go home. So I was like joy. But it's ok I can wait one more day, it wont kill me.

But anyway class day was crap today. When we finally got up to sing, it's never felt that good to stand up. Omgosh it was wonderful. But anyway my skirt kept getting blown by the wind and on the way to the risers, the last step was steeper than I thought and I stepped down and almost fell. Yeah I know.

ONE MORE DAY TILL I GET MY CAR!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!! My goodness I swear Im gonna pee on myself before school is over tomorrow lol. Oh crap tomorrow is Class Day. Were gonna sit in that gym for hours. And I dont wanna sing. The only good part is that I get to wear a skirt to school and I have a good excuse lol.

Ok I forgot to mention yesterday morning that I got my LOTR puzzle!!!! I ordered a 700 piece 3D lord of the rings puzzle for my birthday! omgosh it's massive. It's gonna take me years to do it lol.

Ok I was gonna talk about elections yesterday, but if you wanna read go to Megan's journal (sorry cant do the link thing, im not that coordinated). Well anyway let's see.... Aaahhh oh yeah, i'm going to saturday school in a few hours! Joy! Well I don't mind that much cause im already up and I have nothing else to do except go look at my hopefully soon to be car in GA. So I think this is better because I had time to study and I have all the time I want to take it. But when I missed it, i missed 3 days of one week in a row too and I missed how to do it all. So I didnt know how to do the w/s last night. Yay. But SS is gonna be fine cause theres gonna be a big party of us sophmores there lol. Christin's comin and Jillian and Jamie, i've never been and I think I picked a good day don't ya think?

Yesterday after school Adam came and picked me up and we sat there for a while waiting for someone to be nice and let us pull out, cause he parked in the MS parking lot on the side next to the fence. So were waiting and waiting and he always likes to keep the windows down, but yesterday he had the air on. And Robby hadn't walked to his car yet (which is right above where Adam parked), cause I KNEW that if he saw Adam he would come and talk to him. And I told him to roll down the windows for some reason or another and he did. And i did that b/c his windows are tinted, so yeah u see what I mean. Well anyway, we finally get pulled out and were sitting there. And then I see Robby walking up from the locker room im guessing and I was like YES! But then Adam decided to roll up the windows, of course. And then he's walking towards his truck and I know he saw Adam cause he got this smirk on his face. And he walks over and he rolls down the window, and Adam was like hey man what's going on? And I have NEVER seen Robby this excited/have facial expressions like this before when he was talking to him (ok you have to understand he was like this b/c he bugged the CRAP out of Adam during football a while back. And I don't mean a little, it was constant torment, and he always talks to me about him and how much he loves to harass him). Well anyway back to the convo. Then Robby goes, "What's happnin? What is happnin? (it was HILARIOUS, well to me at least, sorry haha). And Adam had on his stupid cowboy hat and he was like nice hat there, and some other stuff and then he left cause we were blocking traffic. Oh it was great. But then of all days for that to happen, I didnt wear any make up.

IM GETTING A CAR!!!! AAHHHH!!!!!! WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT TODAY AND ITS PERFECT! IM GETTING A CAR!!!! IT'S A 2001 RED MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE!!!! I CAN GET IT TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY!! But im not 16 for 11 days lol. Who cares!?!?!?!?! IM GETTIN A CAR!!!! Now just so u know, when my parents say I can take people around, I will haul any of u around that want a ride :)

Rain, rain and more rain

Well well well, who woulda thought, school is closed! Haha thats too funny. I've never seen this much rain in my life. Well I heard that 153 on Lee hwy is flooded and closed,and 2 other important places are too. So that means alot of people cant get to school, so ya know what? No school! Yay! But the only bad part is we have to make this day up on May 30th, one more extra day that we dont need along with our wonderful snow day. Well anyway, we got out of school at 1:30 yesterday too cause they said a storm was acoming (or thats how I like to say it lol) and wait let me see, it hasnt rained since a night ago. Haha. We all were like, Why arent we out of school when we have a BBS river, which is making it's way to the bottom parking lot? And the seniors couldnt park yesterday either.

Well Hope said yesterday that they were talking about us and taking pictures of the school on the news, but we werent closed now were we?!?!?! Retards. They seem to care that we have no football field or ANY ground for that matter anywhere on campus! I think there's something wrong when the school makes you ride a bus or a van to get to lunch when its 200-300ft away. And again about Hope, when we were all talking yesterday morning, she said the funniest thing that was true too. She said, well instead of canceling school they'll make us get BBS kayaks that have the school emblem on them and they'll make us paddle everywhere we go and if we dont buy one, we'll get a demerit. HAHA.

Oh yeah the golf course right next to the school is a lake, there is no grass. If u had never been here or passed by there before, you wouldnt know what it was cause all you could see was the top of the flag markers. And then right on down from that, there actually is a real river that runs and you have to pass a little 2 lane bridge over it. The water is almost to the bridge. If you look below real good, the water is covering the 6-7ft trees. Yeah i know.

I wanna talk to Jillian!!! She was SO excited about the concert! I hope it went well. I want details and pictures lol.

Adam comes home today for good. Ahhhh. For the summer at least, which is all of May till the end of August. Not fair. He did buy me an Elvis snowglobe though. For no reason either. It's SO cute. It has a cartoon pic of Elvis on his toes and then 2 hands in shackles holding onto bars. It's jailhouse rock if u cant tell lol. Im glad I bought him a shirt in Gatlinburg for no reason though lol. It evens things out lol.

This is long...

Ok I have to say that the Gatlinburg trip was one of the worst trips I have EVER been on in my life. It was gross. The hotel was a piece of crap, Dollywood sucks, and i'm just as sick as I was before I got medicine, which was LAST monday. Ahhh our hotel was disgusting. We had black vinyl chairs, hard beds, and to top it off, we had 2 plastic cups in the cup holder which were used. Yeah, they had purple and other colors of liquid in them. Mrs. Rose is almost like the devil. The woman came back to the back of our bus and took the rubber bands away from the 6th graders and goes "Do anymore of you have any rubber bands????" and stormed up to the front. She told me, Casey, Jesse, Anne, Kristyn, and Callie to do something with our chorus dresses and all and to meet at the place to watch Girl's chorus sing and everything and then it turns out shes wrong. We sang and I had to lead everybody out onto the risers cause I was the last one on the top row, I felt special out of 50 something people lol. And then when we were all done with singing, it had started to rain, so me and Casey ran to the hotel in our dress and all and ran to get pizza cause it was suppose to be there at 11 and it didnt get there till 2:30. I hadn't eaten since 6 that morning.

And then after that we went out in Gatlinburg and went shopping. And I went into my Irish shop and I got another ring, and then I got Adam a redneck shirt (haha) and I got myself a purse, and something from Dollywood. Ok I saw this purse while we were getting water and I kept staring at it and it came in 4 different sizes, so I couldnt resist getting one. It looks like my straw purse with the wooden handles from Khols with the hibiscus flowers on it. But this one has like bamboo handles and its dark blue with hibiscus flowers all over it. It's SO cute.

Well anyway I have to say the best thing about the whole trip was Hard Rock and Dixie Stampede. We ate at Hard Rock on Friday night and on the way we got mooned by some awful teenage guys (long story, go ask Jillian she'll give you details lol). And anyway we could get 6 different things there, and then the whole time they blasted music and showed the videos and we sang along with em, it was great lol. And then on the way back to the hotel, John said he'd seen nuns earlier that day and then me and Casey and her mom saw Omish people earlier that day too! We saw them on the other side of the sidewalk and there were some men with long beards and they were actually wearing color, it was funny, and then the women had bonnets on and they all were pointing at things in amazement, it was quite an experience. Now I can say i've seen Omish people before lol. Oh by the way, I think Omish is spelled with an A, not sure though. But anyway....

Well then the next day we went and ate at TGIF's for breakfast, which was continental and they had bagels and danish's and fruit. It was good to me, but alot of people were complaining that they didnt like that stuff and that they wanted like eggs and stuff and I was like dude, take what you get, there are alot of people in this town who i'm sure would think that that food was a feast. And besides on the schedule it said Continental, that means basic, not a full out eat every breakfast food known to man. Sorry, blowing off a little steam, there will be more of that to come later. Well then we went and drove for an hour back to Knoxville for our last competition, and there were alot less of us since alot of people left, which I still dont see why people would come for one day and then leave. But anyway once again I had to lead everyone on the risers, but first Mrs. Wortman told me to get everyone in riser formation and then to be lined up at the door when she came back cause she had to conduct everyone else. Well no one was listening or anything and everyone was dancing around and talking and what not, so finally I just yelled as loud as I could, "OK EVERYONE GET IN RISER FORMATION RIGHT NOW AND LINE UP AT THE DOOR BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA GET YELLED AT!" And then everyone stopped and some of the guys were going Ooooo and Braden walked up to me and just had a blank look on his face and just stared me in the face and started clapping lol. So then everyone got in order and we were ready. I swear everyone in that class does not pay attention, no one does anything that there told to do. I will be SO happy when i'm out of that class.

Well anyway we changed on the bus and went back and got to Dollywood at like 1:30 or 2. And everyone was starving so it was me, Christin, Allison, Megan W and Megan G and Jillian. Well I was getting Casey to go with us cause she wanted to ride rides too, but we were walking in and I was screaming her name and she couldnt hear me so I walked on in and everyone was following behind and I was like ok, she'll be behind us and i'll find her. No. Couldn't find her. So we went on cause it was either find her by myself, or lose everyone else I was with, so I went with everyone else. And then later I found out that her and her mom looked for me for an hour and I felt like crap. So we were looking for somewhere to eat and we found this little sandwich shop and Jillian and Megan kept walking, at the time we didnt know why either. But anyway they gave us an 8$ lunch ticket and oh yeah the sandwich itself was 6.59. And that DID NOT include a drink. But it came with chips and a cookie. So the 4 of us ate and then we went to the TN Tornado and the line looked long, but it never stopped moving, so we got to ride in like 8 mins or so and it was great. That was the best ride of the day. And then we went and stood in line for another coaster, but that one was crap, it was more like a look and watch ride, not a real coaster. But anyway the entire time we were at Dollywood all I hear from Allison is I wanna go home, I wanna see Joseph, I wanna go home, I wanna ride a water ride, I wanna ride a water ride. So we find a stupid water ride and I didnt ride for the sheer fact that I didnt wanna be wet all day. So I sat and waited and they come out later soaked and Allison's shorts are soaked on the back so her butt's wet. Then for the rest of the day all I hear about is that her butt's wet and she wants her shorts to dry. She was the one who WANTED to go on the ride cause that was all she could talk about and then when she actually rides it and gets wet, which she knew she would, she complains about it. Well i'm sorry I dont wanna hear her crap anymore cause she whines more than anyone i know.

So then Christin and Megan got funnel cakes and we waited why they ate and then we went and rode the tiltor world, u know like at Lake Winnie? And then we went and rode the train, then we went and saw a Magic show, and that was fun cause the guy was funny. And just so you know, Casey said she saw 8 mullets at Dollywood alone (haha). And then by that time it was almost time to go. And u know the whole time i'm dying to go to Ireland cause it's Ireland, why wouldnt I wanna go? Well that was what we walked into when we first got there, so I was like ok we can do whatever yall want, just let me go to Ireland as the last thing on the way out. So we go and i'm basically running to get there cause it's 7 and we have to leave by 7:15-7:30. I finally get there and go to the cart that I saw earlier with all the Irish stuff, and ya know what? Who coulda guessed! It was CLOSED. Everything Irish was CLOSED. The park doesnt close until 9. I kinda wondered around with a blank stare on my face for a while trying not to cry cause that was the only reason I wanted to come on the trip. That was why I was excited. Then Megan told me that Krissy found a Celtic Heritage cart a little ways down that she took me to and I bought a doll there. And we got back on the bus and I sat down and cried. I was so upset. Everyone else got to do what they wanted to do, except me. I felt wonderful. I cried all the way to Dixie Stampede and I could of cried some more if we hadn't gone inside.

Well anyway the Dixie Stampede was the best of everything there. They take you in for 2 pictures, which you can buy during the show. And it was the 6 of us again like it was during the first part of Dollywood. And then we went in and it was so crowded and 4 guys were playing the guitar and singing and stuff and we didnt know where we were, but i think it was just to entertain everyone until we could go into the actual arena place. So then we go in and we were on the North side (ugh, well I thought that at first). Ok for all of you who don't know what the Dixie Stampede is, it's a restaurant/show from the Civil War and you sit on the North or South side and they have a show and play games to see which side wins and each row you sit in has a waiter and there dressed in a military uniform for the North or South and they bring you a whole chicken, soup, bread, barbeque, corn, potatoes and an apple turn over. And you eat everything with your hands and you drink out of Mason jars. It was great. Our waiter's name was Nathan and he was SO cute. We all were like drooling over him lol. And when we walked in he took us too our row and I was wearing my Ron Jon shirt and he goes hey, is that the Ron Jon in Coacoa beach in Flordia? And I go yeah! Well then they bring each food out one at a time to you and the whole time this is going on, this main guy on a horse is talking in the center of the arena and then the waiters and waitresses actually perform in between serving. It was crazy. Megan was like Hey thats our waiter! lol. And then when they were playing the games, Ebonee, Chelsea, Trent and Braden were brought out in front of the 200+ people there to play a game and we all stood up and started screaming. It was great. They had to ride a fake pony around and see who could do it the fastest cause they were playing against some older people. Well they won and they got medals, and then Braden and Trent took a victory lap around the arena after they'd won, it was great. And then our bus driver was in one of the competitions! Bo Diddley! We all were screaming, thats our bus driver! bus driver # 3 rules! lol it was the funniest thing. And then at the end they played one last game where everyone was involved and u had to pass the baton to the person next to you, but you had to stand and salute, but the North wasn't doing that, we were throwing it across lol, so we won.

Ok remember that picture I was telling you about? Well a woman came by and showed us the pictures with the cover and all and it was 22$ for 3 sets of those pics, so 3 people would get one. And everyone was like ok everyone were gonna split our money up, and I was like ok wait excuse me, why would I give yall money when i don't even want one? So basically I paid for everyone's picture when it comes right down to it. I had a 20$ bill and Christin had so much and I didn't get a picture. Why did I pay again? So now Christin owes me 20$. Ok heres the thing, my parents gave me 100$ for the trip cause I and they know that park crap is expensive and they give us crap to eat on, so they wanted me to use like 20-40$ on food alone, so I could get like water or something, which I did. But then I lent Megan W some money cause she didnt bring any extra, which is completely understandable cause the trip was ALL paid for. All of our meals were paid for, thats why we paid extra money early cause it was our food money. So in all I think I let Megan borrow like 5$ which was fine with me. But it kinda bothers me that people think I have all this money and wanna mooch off me. Ya know what I mean? It's like yeah I know I have extra money, don't come ask me for some cause thats rude. I AM NOT POINTING THAT TOWARDS MEGAN. I didnt mind giving her money cause it was for food, but other people think that its cool to come and get money from me, when in reality they should have there own. Sorry that really pist me off at the Stampede about the picture thing.


And then when it was over and we were leaving, me and Christin took a picture with the waiter! Christin was like can we get a picture with you? And he said sure, but not w/o my hat on first lol. And he came and put his arm around my waist! I hope thats a good picture. And then we left and sang songs the whole way home with the 6th graders. Ok I have to say, we all did not in anyway wanna be with the 6th grade, but those kids are awesome man. They have an odd idea of whats cool, but there great lol. So then we all couldnt talk when we got back. And then I was in the bathroom, and I look outside and there having a devotion outside some of the guy's rooms singing at 12 at night. Ok no offense, but what is with the Church of Christ's having devotions at 3 in the morning? I mean it's just as meaningful and good when you have them at 3 in the afternoon, but then your not falling over from sleep depravation. It reminded me of Winterfest, cause it was 3 am and we werent in bed yet cause were still singing. Not fun. But I wasnt there cause I was in the bathroom. So I didnt go. And then we finally go to bed and we go back to Fridays for breakfast the next day and we have church and then we go home, and we didnt leave at 10 like we were suppose to and we didnt get back at 12:30, it was like 1:15 or so. And by that time i'm just as sick as I was before I ever got any medicine in me at all. So thats why im home today. I left school early cause I feel like crap. My ear had popped and I was getting better, but the trip ruined me just like every other trip does. So now I cant hear out of my ear and I blow my nose every 30 minutes and im not joking about the nose thing. So, I'm going back to the doctor this week I think. And then last week when we were there he said he wanted to schedule an appointment with me to see my tonsills when I wasnt sick, which is next monday, and now i dont know if i'll be sick or not. Were getting these tonsills taken out when school is over. There massive in size, and he thinks thats one reason why my head always hurts cause my eyes dont water and i dont sneeze and all, its just my head. So that should be fun, and i just took a 2 hour nap, so i will let you stop reading now cause ive been typing for a long time. Bye guys!

Gatlinburg tomorrow! Woo! Ya know I wasnt excited about this trip when I first found out about it b/c i've been there too many times to count and besides I always get sick after a trip. But then I saw a Dollywood commercial and there gonna have festival of nations through may 11th and there gonna have Ireland! So now im going to see Ireland lol. Someone said (I think it was Jillian or Casey) that maybe the Irish dancers from Williamsburg would be there, haha I wish. But anyway then the schedule isnt packed at all which is good cause I do not like to do EVERYTHING. Were eating, singing, going to Dollywood, church and home. Sounds good to me. But ya know we could have the Lord's Supper on the buses on the way home, then we could get home quicker. Just a suggestion. But anyway we have to be at school by 6:30 tomorrow morning, yay. Ok I need to pack and do some other stuff.

Earthquake!

My goodness! We had an earthquake last night! And im not joking! I woke up at 5 and all the sudden everything was shaking! I didnt know what was going on and all I was concerned about was my tv falling off my dresser cause it moves real easily. But it was over in about 5 seconds. I got up and the tv said AL had had an earthquake at 5 this morning and it could be felt in chattanooga and all the way up to KY. My mom said she hadnt felt anything. Well it was quite an experience if i do say so myself. Well at least I can say i've lived through an earthquake now lol.

Ok so i forgot to say the other day that after Christin's party, me and my mom went to the new sonic at 10 at night lol. It was PACKED! Ok well anyway we ordered and i told my mom that I would have to tell Hope that we christened it lol. And then 5 mins later Hope and her dad pulled up! They were across from us and I could see her dad, but the sign was blocking hope lol. So I sent her a text message and I saw her look at her phone, and the message said, Hey Hope, look to your right, Sonic! -Cortney, and she saw me and they waved lol.

Well anyway, it sucks to be sick. I feel like crap. I'm not coming to school tomorrow. Last night when I went to bed I had on socks, flannel pants, and 3 shirts and my covers up to my neck and I was still cold. And then every hour I would wake up and turn over and I couldnt get to sleep or comfy, so I woke up at like 7 finally cause I was sick of trying to sleep. Ahhh doctor cant come soon enough. I flipped out yesterday cause I am NOT gonna be sick for the chorus trip on friday. I have to get better by then. Cause when u have a cold, u hate to talk, and singing is a whole other ball game.

Ok Christin's party was awesome! That was the best party i've been to in a long time. She was SO surprised too, she had NO IDEA. Yesterday at school she was like ok at church they said theres gonna be a special guest and I have no idea who it could be! And then she was like ok Jillian there are 5 days left in April, when's my surprise coming? And I was thinking WAIT A FEW HOURS! AHH!!!! lol. And then she got a car! She got a fake tacoma, and she goes ok I need this in a big size lol and her mom goes look at your dad, and he had keys in his hand and she flipped out and she had a silver one waiting outside for her with a big red bow on top. lol it was great. And then the band played Youth Of A Nation and she sang the whole song for us lol. There were about 12 or 13 of us from Boyd, and then some people from her church were there and the bands. The party turned out really good.

I thought today was gonna be great. I thought hey well I dont have to go to Bible cause I have that writing thing and then they said it would go into some of 3rd period, so I was like dude YES I GET TO MISS SOME OF HELETON! (I know i spelled it wrong, i did that on one of my papers by accident and he wrote on there, my name is HELTON, and I got a 97 on the paper and he hadnt made ANY other marks on there, sounds like someone was in a bad mood that day). Well they divided everyone up by last names like they always do and I was in Jimmy's class (haha, Adam calls him that just like everyone else lol). And lo and behold, look who walks in the room to be our teacher person? HELETON! Omgosh I about flipped. I was talking to Jillian when he came in and I made my eyes big and I was moving them in his direction and she didnt get it lol so I pointed and she saw and she screamed too lol. Now I see why she always hated that man lol. I was always like why? and now I see why lol. So instead of 30 mins of that man, I had an hour and 45 mins. My goodness I thought I would die.

But anyway I was like hey I can go and get my research paper grade next period so that will revive me. I walk in and shes not there. And NO we didnt get our papers back! Ok I was about to kill someone at that point. She was suppose to have them monday, didnt, probably cause she was too lazy to grade them. And then she didnt bring them tuesday cause of the rain, "i dont wanna get em wet." Now I doubt many people are gonna care if there paper has some water on it since everyone throws them away anyway! All I wanna know is my grade, i can look at it later. And then today, shes not here cause she left early! Ahhhh! And then Meenal said she had 5 more to grade during her class, which was 1st period. I dont get it, Mrs Taylor (even though I think her and Coach Heleton are tied on the, I hate u scale) can grade everything that day and get it back the next day WITH a print out. It takes Mrs Jones a month to grade everyone's tests. And plus Mrs Taylor has just as many classes or more than Mrs Jones. Ahh what does that woman do so that she cant grade our stuff?

I completely forgot about the Spanish test today. It never even crossed my mind. I studied right before and I know I got all the word matching right but I dunno about the people ones. Oh well, one bad grade wont kill me lol.

I had fun today in Spanish. I was partners with Megan H, that was fun lol. Usually im partners with Bart or Robby, cause Bart ALWAYS screams my name whenever the word partner comes out of Mrs. Lee's mouth. And im like ahhhh i wanna be someone else's partner for once! I love Bart, hes great, i just want a different partner every once in a while lol. But anyway I asked Megan if she could tell me some stuff about Harry Potter cause I rented the new one on video over the weekend. I must say, the leader of the Quidich or quidage sp? team has the best accent! He's Scottish! I went back to that part in the movie just to hear him lol, but anyway.. I asked Megan some stuff cause i didnt understand and she explained to me and then she kinda gave me the slip of something in the 4th book and Megan W freaked out! She was like DONT TELL HER! It was the funniest thing. Cause ya know i was thinking about reading them, and Megan was like u ruined it for her! Cause I was so surprised! I gasped when she told me lol. But it doesnt matter that she told me, i woulda found out if i'd read the book anyway lol. ANd I was like it would be like me just telling u the end of lotr and she covered her ears and was like NOOO!!!!!!! And i was like Megan! Im not gonna tell u! calm down! lol. Haha i love her. :)

Well hello all. I had a great day. I didnt go to school and im not even sick! Haha! Yay! Well, I went to Nashville with my parents today. We had a little joy ride there and back lol. Well they had to go and sign something for Adam's apartment and they went last week too and i was gonna go last time and i couldnt, so they said i could go this time since i was off Friday. Well anyway i got up early, not because I had to but b/c i woke up early. I get up at 6:35 for school and i got up at 7:05 today.

Well then we left at like 10:30 and I took 2 LOTR books, the lotr, and the unfinished tales which i borrowed from Mrs. Roland and I listened to the Fellowship soundtrack and the Two towers soundtrack while i read haha. Well anyway since i got up at 7 and ate at 7, i was hungry at 11:30 like i usually am cause i eat lunch then, so were in South Pittsburgh and we stop at McDonalds haha. So we got a burger and fries. And then we went to Hickory Hollows Mall. I have to admit, it was kinda poo. I think our mall is better lol. They had the same stores and all. So we got there like at 12:30 i think and we go in and get lost in Dillards haha. And then we wonder around and then we ate something else. And then we go to Walden Books cause I wanted to look for a music or book store to look for LOTR stuff (haha im lame i know). Well anyway I go and I see LOTR books like at home, but they were all LOTR and no extra books. And then I look to my right and almost pass out. They had almost every book that goes along with LOTR. I bought 3. Theres like 7 or 8 left though which is fine, i can buy them as i go along lol. I havent really looked here for them, so we might have em somewhere, but if not, next time we go back to Nashville, i'll go and buy more lol. And to top it off, as I was about to pay, they had LOTR bookmarks that we dont have here! And they had 1 Legolas one left! AAHHH!!!!!! I couldnt believe it! I snatched that thing up and thought it's mine! it's all mine! And after I paid I saw Gimli was on there, which is fine with me lol. So then we did that thing with Adam and came home and got here around 7:30. It's been a long day. And I have homework to do tomorrow and this week, yay. Bye guys!

Howdy guys. I got my hair cut today! yay! Me and Jillian's journals will match now lol. I got 4 inches cut off total and then I got some shorter layers in it. I love it. I wanted it this way last time i got it cut when no one could tell. But hey it's cut now so its all good. It curls better too. She always said if I got layers, it would make it light weight and not as heavy as one length which is what I've always had.

Went to the tanning bed yesterday, this is like mine and my mom's 5th visit or so this year. And I went for 10 mins and thats alot for me since im so pale, cause I went 8 mins the first time and then went down the next 2 lol. But anyway i'd been using a rag on my face so i would fry it too death but I wanted some sun on it so i wouldnt be so pale so i didnt use one this time. I looked fine last night but when I woke up i looked like rudolph. Under my eyes it was red but my nose was the worst. It was SO red. But it's almost gone now so it's ok lol. Ok I don't see how people go to the tanning bed and fry themselves the way they do. Me and my mom signed up for 15 visits just so we can get a base for like the whole summer and after this i wont go anymore. I don't care if i get anymore sun during the summer, i feel like im killing myself slowly if im dark brown. Ew. No thanks man, i'd rather be pale.

Well Casey came over but she didnt bring her video camera. Poo. And I had ALL my BSB stuff out. So now it's just sitting in the corner... Oh well, we can do it another time I guess. Well anyway we had the best time! She came over around 4 and we went straight to the mall. I swear we walked that mall 4 times. We parked at Parisians and went in and got a smoothie and then we walked down and went into Aeropostale and they had all those glittery shirts I love so im gonna go back and get some. And then we went in more stores and looked and then we went into Lane Bryant and I tried on some clothes. And then we saw Casey's best friend Jamie. She always talks about her and I was happy to put a face with the name. She's the sweetest thing and is just like Casey in personality lol and shes gorgeous too. I felt real good walking down the mall with 2 gorgeous thin girls (sure) lol. Well then we went everywhere and back again with Jamie. She had just picked up her prom dress and she needed shoes so we went EVERYWHERE. And then we went to this little cart in the middle of the mall that had all this pretty jewelry and hair pieces. It had those curly scrunchies that match ure hair color and they did one on Jamie and they put a little like a half tiara thing in front of that which was pink so it matched her dress and it looked great. They had long hair pieces too. I told Casey thats gonna be my hair one day but its gonna be real instead of fake lol. So then finally we left and both of our feet hurt.

And we went home and ate and we ate ice cream and watched American Idol. And then we talked for a long time. And then we finally went to bed and we got up to rain AGAIN and we went and walked and then we went and ate at Ankars. And then we went and got gas. Ok that was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. This huge black guy pulled up who was driving a car that was obviously too small for him cause he heaved himself to get out lol but thats besides the point. Well he was in Highschool im guessing cause he had a Tyner football shirt on and had huge muscles, he reminded me of a black Adam haha. Well anyway Casey got in the car and she said he was singing to himself behind her in line and we were smiling and looked at him when he walked out and he noticed us. And he was at his car and he goes, Why yall laughing at me? And Casey goes i'm just smiling lol. And he said something else and she said Signal Mountain and he was like why are u out here and she was like cause im spending the night with my friend. And he was talking to Casey and he goes, you sure are a pretty little thing LOL and she looked down and was like thanks.... lol it was so funny.

I put up my Elvis and Legolas posters finally! YAY! There so pretty! I put Legolas like directly in front of me so I can stare better :). I moved 2 BSB posters down behind my shelf cause I had room if u can believe it lol. Casey goes, u have a balled spot right there and I was like yeah but u cant see the posters. But I put em up there anyway and u can see all 5 of my men's heads behind the shelf so its fine and dandy lol. I'm tired of rain.

Well I had a wreck....sorta

I went to go see Legally Blonde 2 on saturday with my mama! It was SO cute! I loved it! It was crowded for 5:00 too. I dont really have much to say lol. Oh yeah, i started my period on sunday and im leaving with Emmy on Wednesday! And were suppose to swim the whole time! ahhhh i hate being a girl. We go through so much pain. Guys do nothing! They suck :)

Well yes ive had my first car mishap this afternoon. It freaked me out majorly. Don't worry im fine lol. Well let me explain what happened.

Ok so i drove myself to the track and i when i got there i put the top up cause it has been raining all day. So i went and walked and then i get done. So ya know i go to my car and i get in and i turned on the ignition or the battery so to say b/c i was gonna fix my cds and put the top back and all, but i didnt want to turn the motor on cause i didnt wanna waste gas for a few mins.

Well anyway so i'm ready to go and i put my foot on the brake and put the car in reverse cause i was backing up, but instead the car went forward! So i thought ok Cortney u just put the car in drive instead of reverse, but no i checked it several times to make sure it was in reverse and it was. So where i was parked, i was sloped down somewhat and right infront of me was a little ditch.

So i put it in reverse again and it went forward and then i did it one more time and it went forward and i put it in park and then all the sudden i start rolling forward! I went into the ditch and the front of my car hit the pavement, but it didnt do anything to the front or anything or to the rest of my car for that matter. But there's some rubber thing that came off, that i got back. But anyway im in the mudd cause of the rain that doesnt stop and thankfully there were 2 guys there walking too. And one was at his truck which was somewhat over from mine.

So im in the ditch freaking out and he goes "hey are u ok?" and i was like yeah im fine and he was like do u need some help? And of course i said yes cause i was freaked out but then afterwards i realized
1. he was shirtless and he look good shirtless
2. he look good in general

lol so of course all im thinking is CRAP! I havent shaved my legs in over a week, im sweating like im in the desert and my bangs dried parted in half last night so i look somewhat like a boy and my hair is sticking out with sweat and grease and oh yeah i had no make up on. I felt great yeah.

Well anyway since im in the mudd he comes down and he got in and i was explaining what happened and he goes u want me to try and get this out of here for u? And i go yeah. So he got in and before he put his feet in, he was such a sweetie and he goes im sorry im gonna try and not get your car dirty and i was like oh dont worry about that lol, but really i was like awww! ure so sweet! So then he cant just go in reverse cause the hill is a bit too steep and he's stuck in the mudd. So he turns it around and he tries again a couple of times and he got it out! He fixed my car and got it out of the mudd. And i go omgosh how did u do that? He kinda laughed and he was like i dunno lol. So i said thank u a million times and waved bye to him and i started home and freaked out and called my dad on my phone and told him what happened the whole way home and he said it was ok and not to worry and that he'd check it out when he got home. Ahhhhhhhh i was so scurred. My knees were shaking when i got out for the guy to fix it lol.

Well then i told my mom and she freaked out and she was like maybe u shouldnt be driving yet and i was like mom! I've been driving alone for like a month now, one little mishap isnt gonna kill me. But i expected her to freak anyway, but it's all good. Oh but the thing is, after i talked to my dad on the way home, i realized why it went forward and believe me i felt REALLY stupid afterwards. I realized that i hadnt ever turned the motor on. Yeah thats right, anytime u just have the ignition on of course the car is gonna go forward, what else what it do? And i freaked out and i was like my goodness how blonde can i be!?!??! and then i thought ok that guy must of thought i was a complete fool lol. Wow, cant do that anymore now can i? But I did get rescued by my price charming! lol.

I am the boredest person known to man. I have been home alone all day with the cats and a headache ive had since yesterday. I've done nothing. I hugged my dad when he came home cause i was so excited someone was home lol. Casey is suppose to come over tomorrow though and spend the night. Were gonna film my BSB video for MTV! FINALLY! After all this time talking about it im finally gonna make it and send it. I just have to find the address...

But anyway then on Wednesday im getting my haircut and me and mom are going shopping. And then Thursday me and dad are going to Nashville! yay! Well were going to sign for Adam's apartment, but were going to a mall first lol. I was like I wanna go to a mall! And then Friday i'm bored again. Joy. Oh well. I thought I would tell u all how bored I was.

Happy 4th of July!

YAY! IT'S MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!! Today has been great. I got up and we cheated and had pancakes, which were SO good. And then I went and got dressed and I got out all my patriotic tshirts, i have 13. And i thought about changing into one every hour like i did 2 years ago, but i decided not to. But anyway the flag i had bought to go on the back of my car didnt work out too well, it wouldn't stay. So instead, i took it and tied it around the sleeves of my shirt, so it looked like a cape! HAHA! And then i've had my red, white, and blue star lights on all day and i have 3 patriotic dolls that i sat on my bed. And then I have 2 hats. One is one i got from Williamsburg, it's one of those 2 cornered hats, the triangle kind, its my fave. My dad called me Pauletta Revere haha. And then my other one is an Uncle Sam hat. So i put it all on and put ribbon in my hair and i put a flag sticker on my face and went down and showed my parents. They died :) And then I took 2 pics and i'll post em later if yall want. I took one of me in my car too with my attire on lol. And then i've been watching the American Revolution marathon on the history channel all day. Ahhh i love it lol i always look and see if its on and it is all day today! YAY!

Were gonna go see fireworks tonight! YAY! My dad said we might not go cause work can call him, but i said not seeing fireworks on the forth is like not opening gifts on Christmas morning lol. So were gonna go to Cleveland and watch. And we got some of our fireworks too, i wanted some sparklers and we got some smokebombs and bottle rockets. I think were gonna take my car, so i'm gonna sit in the back and hold my flag going down the interstate and let it fly haha. Cant wait.

Everyone show their patriotic spirit and wear red, white, and blue! And please try and remember the true meaning of the holiday people!

We had career day on tuesday. I got all my first choices. I got all my first picks last year too and I was surprised since I was a freshman. Well anyway I put down the Anethesiologist and that guy talked SO much. He kept talking after the bell rang. Well I walked in last into the room cause we got let out late of Bible which is in the MS and I walked into Coach Cole's room last and looked stupid. There was no where to sit! Even the computer chairs were taken! So I kinda stood there with my stuff and I didnt know what to do, so then I saw Emmy and she told me to come sit with her. So I sat in her seat and she sat in my lap. That was a bad, BAD idea. Don't get me wrong, Emmy is not fat and shes not heavy cause I can lift anyone on my legs and back, but she sat on one leg for 30 mins straight. I could barely walk when I got up. I couldn't feel my leg when I was going down the stairs.

So then I went to the Physical Therapist. That was ok, not really my thing. Then I went to the Pediatrician. I didnt like that guy at all. I don't know why I put that down in the first place though. But anyway the guy asked generally who wanted to go into medicine, and people raised their hands and we all put them back down. And then at the end he started randomly calling on people. Just like picking people that he remembered that raised their hands. I was like dude, way to put us all on the spot. I was like praying Lord, please don't let him pick me, please dont pick me. And he didn't. So I was ok. I think i've got some anxiety problems man. I think I might have a case of social anxiety disorder, not kidding.

Well then today was TShirt day. All the sophomores could wear their shirts they got when they got their class ring. I walked in and we got there early today cause we took the interstate cause we wanted to see the new Sonic, it should be opening soon, hopefully this month. But anyway we got there like 10 mins early, and even when I get there 10 till the bell rings, there are usually only 5 people there. So I walk in with my shirt on and I see NO ONE. Everyone that is usually there has their stuff around, but there not there. So I was like oh great, i'm gonna be the only one with this shirt on and look stupid. But then they all came out of the bathroom so i was like shoo, that was a relief cause they all had their shirts on lol.

But anyway there was some mess about Lacie and Christin, not gonna comment on that one cause I don't know the whole story and I heard rumors about it so i'm not gonna open my mouth. All I have to say is that people need to keep their mouths shut when they werent there to see it and they werent involved. If you say/do something at school, everyone knows in 10 mins. It's sad it spreads so quick.

Were finally on Spring Break, thats a relief. What a way to end it though, I had 5 tests today and 2 research papers due. My goodness these teachers are insane. At least I dont have any homework. Mrs. Taylor told us to finish our lab, but I did it in class so I don't have to worry about it. It was the funniest thing, this morning we were pulling into school and my mom goes, wow Taylor is in a hurry to get here isnt she? And I go who? And she goes Mrs. Taylor, she was in that volvo, she was speeding to pull in, she was in a hurry to start Chemistry lol. We watched Pobre Ana in Spanish today too. It was REALLY cheesy, but not as cheesy as Mrs. Jones' outline video, that is # 1 cheese. I didn't know Ana was going half the time cause we've read so many Ana stories in that class. But I liked it cause I could understand her and everyone else cause they talked slow lol. I swear I won't survive if I ever meet someone who is actually spanish and it's their native language. They speak too fast for me to comprehend it! I'm trying to translate in my head as they speak but I can't translate and listen to the word in spanish at the same time. Ahh i'll have to work on it.

Me and dad are going car looking tomorrow! YAY! Were gonna get up and go eat somewhere and go to GA and look for cars, I can't wait! Yay yay yay! Ok me and my mom went to the tanning bed for the first time this year yesterday and I laid for 8 mins and I could see a line when I got out of the bed, but i didnt look burnt. But then this morning I woke up and my back was in pain. I got up and looked and it was red and i have 3 bulbs lines on me that are real thin. Very attractive. But then my bra hurt it all day cause I was so red. Pain.

Hola everyone! I'm over at Spurling's house right now. This is the second night i've spent the night this week lol. I spent Sunday night too.

Well the family reunion went pretty well. Besides the fact that for 30 minutes i sweated in the sun and stood there looking stupid, it was pretty good.

Well anyway it's rained cats and dogs. It has hasnt it? It was awful yesterday. When I came over to Ashley's i got soaked lol. Oh speaking of yesterday, me, mom and adam went shopping yesterday. The only reason Adam went is b/c my mom bribed me haha. Well anyway we went to Khols, Goody's, and Target. That whole strip lol. Well anyway we needed to get Adam some stuff for his apartment in Khols and I freaked out over the junior patriotic shirts, they were the cutest thing EVER! Well the only bummer was that if i liked a certain shirt alot, they wouldnt have my size. Isn't that always how it works? Well anyway i got 2 cause they were 5.00$ each, i got one that has a coffee kettle on it and it says like America's best cup of joe or something, it's patriotic lol. And then the other one has some stuff written in red and glitter. So as we were leaving, theres a British woman who works there and has a strong accent and my mom asked if she was working on the 4th and she goes oh no, thats the day there gonna keep the Brits out. HAHA. I cracked up when she said that!
Oh yeah, i also bought a big American flag and i'm gonna tie it to the back of my car once it stops raining lol.

Well then at Goody's i got the last purse that i had wanted, yay. And at Target I went in and got a game for vacation with Emmy and it's gonna be her early bday present from me since it's this month. She's gonna love it.

Well then i came over here at like 5:30 last night and her mom was like Cortney's spending the night isnt she? And Ashley was like no, and she said well she needs to stay cause of the rain lol. So i called my mom and she came and brought me my stuff lol. Well anyway i'm gonna scoot my boot! Only 2 more days till the 4th! YAY!

haha i just finished washing off my war paint lol. That's what my dad calls it lol and then he'll say we attack at down lol. I always crack up when he says that :)

Well i didnt get back from Ashley's till 7:15! We went to the mall at 1:30 and ate lunch and then her mom wasnt coming to get us till 4! But she didnt get there till almost 5. But anyway we had fun. We went to Victoria Secret and she got some makeup and i'm obsessed with a scent there that im gonna go back and get tomorrow. But anyway she got some new eye shadows and the woman that worked there helped us and Ashley loved how she put on her eyeshadow and made her show her how lol. So we went home and she practiced on me lol. And usually i only wear eye shadow on my lid, but she put it on my browbone too and it looked AWESOME. I mean she used like 3 diff colors of brown and some white stuff as like frost and some glitter and it looked like movie star make up lol. And she couldnt believe how good it looked and she was ecstatic and then she did my blush and lipstick too. If i dont wanna get my makeup done for jr/sr then i'm gonna get her to do it lol.

I put my flag on my car that i bought. It looks pretty good but u cant see the blue unless u look on top somewhat. I attached it with bungee cords too lol. I hope it doesnt fall off lol.
