I Love Fall

Oh my goosh! I haven't posted since July, lol. So like.. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much has been going on i could never post about it all. But I'll just say a few things that has happened.

In July, I went to a second youth camp (Youth America) with my friends and it was SO FREAKING AMAZING! I might post some pictures later. I would do it now, but I'm using the laptop we just got, and it doesn't have any pictures on it. But YA was SO much fun. Definitely going back again next year!

Two close family friends got married! Reid is 17, and Kat turned 18 the day of their wedding. Young, but I think it'll work out. They got God on their side :)

I saw Eclipse. DEFINITELY the BEST of the three movies so far :) But I can't believe they didn't put the famous "eclipse" line in it!!!!!!!  Taylor looked great ;)

August 4th, my youth pastor's baby, Chloe, was born!!!! She's adorable! Love her :)

Maddie had another litter of kittens. Two adorable ones! (pics later). A beautiful blackish one, and a white one with black patches. I gave them two my friend Juliana :) Oh, and we gave Jinx away, but kept Kylie :) (Jinx and Kylie are from Maddie's first litter)

Started chemistry. It's hard sometimes! Because I'm having trouble with the lab notebooks, I have a D in chemistry now haha :P Gotta bring that up!!

Back in august, our youth group had a Speed The Light fundraiser by serving food to people in our church. Me, Jonathan, and Emily I think did a skit and it was fun :) We were so nervous we were shaking haha. I was sure people could tell, but mom said she couldn't so that's good haha. But it was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to do it again!! :D

My best guy friend, Jonathan, turned 16 on August 24th!! He can drive! :O he's a great driver, so that's good haha.

Went to the Imax with mom and Taylor to see a show about dolphins and whales :) Then we walked around a little bit and saw a few things.

August 31st,.. GOT MY FRICKIN' PERMIT!!!!!!!!! :D I love driving!!!!!! I can get my license in February I think!!

All through the month of September, our youth had a thing called "september rush" where we ate every wednesday night, and had cool special things, and gave out prizes for stuff and other stuff haha.

Went to the fair with a bunch of friends and it was AWESOME!!! Jonathan asked Taylor out, and now they are an ADORABLE couple :D It's so cute, haha. He asked her out on one of the rides :) He was going to ask her on the ferris wheel, but me and two other friends were forced to ride in the same thing, so that didn't happen.. He asked her on one of the fast rides haha :P Then she came back to me and my friends with a HUGE smile and we're like "what??" *she keeps smiling* "what th-- OH!!!!!!!!!!" haha it was funny.

Went skating with my brother and 3 other friends and it was SOOOO much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Maggie sat down on some little car ride thing for little kids, and it goes, "You're fat!" haha

I got a new guitar teacher this year, and me and my brother are doing a cooking class by my friends mom. It's ok.

I took the ACT, and got my scores back yesterday. First time taking it, and I got a 21!! :D

Paul Walker turned 37.

Our youth had ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron) which is where Mrs. Sara takes us girls somewhere (we went to the prayer room) and talks to us, while Pastor Dan talks to all the guys. It was a lot of fun! Us girls got to wear pjs and stuff :)

Went to the mall with Jonathan, Taylor, and Jon's older bro Daniel. It was a lot of fun!! Mostly just hung out and stuff. We also saw Toy Story 3 (my 2nd time seeing it). Loved it!!!

I've decided to go to UTM when i graduate, and me and mom went on a tour the other and i I LOVED IT!!!!!! Can't wait to move in haha.

Part of september rush, saturday, we had Super Sloppy Saturday. It was SO MUCH FUN!! And very messy! We played a game where the 3 people from each of the two teams (my team was Team Awesomest) had to stand in these two kiddy pools while the rest of the teams went to find 6 bananas, 2 chocolate syrup bottles, whip cream, and sprinkles (all of that was hidden everywhere) and then come back and put it all over the people in the pools. I was one of the peoples in the pools and it was awesome haha. I loved it!! Then we did a relay race. The two teams were in two lines, and we had to crawl to the baloons filled with shaving cream, pop it, then run to the slip and slide, then bob for grapes in water with noodles and then after all of our heads being stuck in it, the water was NASTY!!!!! And then we played an epic water balloon fight :) so it was AWESOME! Can't wait till next year :D Pics later

Friday, I'm most likely going to another fair with most of the same friends I went with to the last fair. Then saturday, our youth is having a Youth Rally and I CAN'T WAIT!! IT"S GOING TO BE SOOO COOL AND AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I really hope my friend Teddy can come, because I haven't seen him since Youth America, but he lives two hours away so he might not be able to come. Also, like 25 people from some ministry thing are going to be there and at our church the next day, and they need people to stay with, so we're having 3 or 4 guys stay at our house :) I'm so excited to meet them!!!

Next friday, my friend Esther is having a birthday sleepover, and I'm excited!! :D

Ok, well I guess that covers most of it for now haha. :P I'll try to post later! Right now I'm supposed to be doing school.. So I guess I should get on that.

Oh! One last thing. For my english class, we have to have a blog to write things on, and because we're meeting on there once a month instead of class, so I'm using my writing blog for that :) I've already done two assignments, so check it out by clicking HERE!!!
K, that's all for now!!!

Peace

WINTER JAM!!!! Oh yeah!

Oh, I just noticed this is my 201st post. Well that's not what I'm posting about. Tonight was... WINTER JAM! Oh yeah! It rocked :)  Me and my youth group went together and had so much fun! The bands there (that I remember) were: Fireflight, Newsboys, Third Day, New Song, Tenth Avenue North :D, and one or two others I don't remember. TAN was my fav, then Third Day.

My bff Rachel was there with her friends Charis and Teddy and I got to see them! I haven't seen rachel since last august!!! And she's coming over tomorrow :D:D:D  Here are some pictures:

Afterwards at Sonic. haha we're so weird (thats me and my youth pastors)

ok so this next picture needs some explaining :P So my friend (let's call him... Jon) orderded something at sonic where the cars r supposed to order. So he got on Nivek's (not real name :P) back and pretending like he was in a car and the women came out with his blast, and it was so funny! I got it on video, I  might put it on here later. But she didn't know what to think, and Jon had the most serious look on his face through the whole thing while everyone else was laugh. :P well heres a picture (before the waitress came out)

TTYL!

Until next time, my friends!

Guten tag meine freunde!!!

Hey guys!! I think I wrote my title right. It says "good day my friends". And as u can see by that, German lessons are coming along pretty well. I know I haven't posted in over a month and I feel terrible... I don't have any excuse, just I haven't felt like it. But it is a brand new year in a brand new decade so I'm going to try to post whole lot more!! Oh and for the record, I'm typing this all on my brothers new iPod touch :D it's fun!!!

My family and I just got back from visiting family from Sunday to Wednesday. It was alright. Ive never liked staying away from home for too long tho. Mostly cuz I miss my pets back home so darn much. And usually when I'm out of town, I don't get to touch any animals and I can't go very long without seeing or touching any animals. But this time, my cousins brought their little puppy with them!!!! She was so cute! Her name was Dixie and she's a Chinese Crested Powderpuff. Weird name lol but she's cute! She didn't really like people though. Except for my aunt and cousins. She's just really scared of people. I taught her to sit and lay and that was fun :) nothing else interesting happened while there so I'll quit talking about that and move on.

Thursday night as u all know was new years eve and I had 2 of my friends spend the night. It was SOO much fun! We played poker and that was a lot of fun! I'd never played before. And I won. By a lot. Lol. We were gonna watch a couple movies and play some games but ended up
playing with my bird and watching TV instead :P While we were watching a TV show "My Wife And Kids", we saw this kid we thought we'd seen on another TV show, and right after that, none other than TAYLOR LAUTNER walked on screen!!!!!!!!!!! He was like 11 and so cute! As you can tell, we are HUGE fans of his. You probably aren't but whatever, you skip over this part if you like.
Anyhow! As soon as we saw him, me and Emily screamed SO LOUD! It was so funny. Mom was in her room, and heard us, and just thought we saw a bug or something :P Juliana hadn't been looking, so when me and Emily screamed, it scared her so bad :P Taylor said something on the show, but i didn't hear him; i was too busy squealing lol. Even though we had an AWESOMELY fun night, that was our highlight. ha ha
We were supposed to go to bed at 2:00am, but ended up going to bed at 2:30am (no biggie). But then ended up staying up (but in bed with lights off!!) talking till 5:00am lol :P It was a lotta fun.

Well that's all i feel like posting now, so IPHL!! (Ill post here later)
And i hope all of you people have a great new year!!!


Until next time, my friends!

P.S. Fyi, our church finally got a new youth pastor! Name is Dan and Sara *insert last name here* (actually i dont know their last name lol), and I'm so happy we got a new youth pastor now! Even though we all still miss the old one. So far they seem pretty nice. I havent heard Dan preach yet, but I will on Wednesday. Well.. that's all for now, so ttyl!

My bad...

Yes, I am truly sorry for not posting in close to a month. I don't have a good excuse, so I'm not going to tell you one. But I AM going to tell you that because I am posting...THE PAPARAZZI ARE AFTER ME!!!!!! SEE:

Anyways, I'll be right back. Lemme go get my calender so I can see what all happened when I wasn't posting... so brb.

Okay, back. Let's see.... April Fool's day.. no I didn't play a prank.. not enough planning time. But my dad told me that what he used to do, was dress up in all green and then go up to people who weren't wearing green, and pinch them and say "your not wearing green!" and they'll be like, "Uh, it's April Fools' day, not St. Patrick's day!" ha ha I can't wait.

April 3rd and 4th My mom and I went to Fire For the Nations. Look it up, I don't feel like explaining it... :D I'll give you the link. HERE OW! I just got a paper cut :( Man it hurts :( OO! pizza!

April 11th - I stole 2 Canada goose eggs from "our" Canada geese (whom today I named Jessa [female] and... uh.. well i forgot). I tried to get one from Madonna our goose (greylag), but she wouldn't get off her nest (of course. she's a good mamma). So we decided justs not to get one of hers. Her mate, Felix, isn't a very good dad/mate. He doesn't protect her at ALL he stays over there with the Canada geese :( but the male goose is really protective of Jessa. Jessie got attacked by him today. Man I wish I could remember his name...

April 12th - CHOIR PERFORMANCE. I bought a nice white dress (with black sort of jacket for looks) for the performance and for Easter :) The last time I wore a dress, I was probably under 10. Maybe. I don't know, I can't remember... it was fun performing, I think I'll do it again at Christmas time. Unfortunately, my friend Miley (not real name) didn't like performing :( Oh well. My fav song to do was Victory Chant because us youth that were in the choir (me, Miley, Julie, Zoe, and Caleb) went over to the side, got to hold our own mic's (yea!) and we would sing something, and then the rest of the choir would echo. It was fun! My other favorite song to do was Alive, Forever Amen. Why? Because it was upbeat and made me want to dance :) I don't know, I just really liked it.

April 15th - stole another egg from Jessa (she laid more)

April 17th - Game night!!! All of us youth (and a few other teens) went over to our youth pastors house from 7-10:30 and played games and stuff. When we were all in the living room, we turned on Finding Nemo :P But then most of everybody got up and went to play Monopoly or other games.

But I stayed in there and held Kayla (not real name), my youth pastor's wittle baby girl. She's like 8 months or something like that. I'm not sure. But I had soooooo much fun playing with her! She's just so cute! She really liked playing with my Team Jacob key chain. But I had to keep her from putting it in her mouth. She's so funny, she pulled her sock partially off, and started chewing on it. And she loves to lay on the floor, grab her feet, and roll around. Lol!

After a while, we all went outside and played hide and go seek (with a base) and it was soooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!! I hid behind a telephone pole almost every time. And then this guy, Reid, got on top of the shed, and on top of my mom's van (Luke drove it there) several times. Yeah, he didn't make it.

That night, my friend Sailor (nickname) got to spend the night :) we stayed up till like 2:30 before finally going to sleep.

April 18th - after Luke took Sailor and I to Starbucks, mom said that if all of us (my family, Sailor, and Luke's friend Greg [also not real name]) cleaned the gameroom (girls clean that) and the boys clean the laundry room, then we could all go to the movies!

So we did. And then we all went to the movies! Us girls (me, mom, and Sailor) saw The Hannah Montana Movie, and the boys (dad, Luke, Adam, and Greg) saw The Fast and the Furious. The HM movie was really good! It is WAY better and different than the show! I LOOOVED it, and the songs were/are awesome!! I won't say anymore incase ya'll haven't seen it and are planning on going to. I want to go back soon and see 17 Again. :)

Than night, Greg and Sailor spent the night. We (me, my bros, and Greg and Sailor) stayed up and watched tv for a while, then we all went up to my room and hung out until 1:30am when dad came up there and told us to go to bed. We had so much fun. I'll post pictures and maybe videos later. But you'll probably have to remind me...

Today, April 22th - EARTH DAY!! I have spent a lot of time outside today, and I might even pick up trash on the side of the rode, cuz there is a LOT of it. But I probably won't today... And I am prob getting Valley back today. If you have no idea what I'm talking about... then READ MY TRAINING VALLEY BLOG!!!!!! (my newest post). http://trainingvalley.blogspot.com/

OMG! My Sugar Glider food for Bella is here!!!! Man that was a nice UPS man... my bro just spilt my cup of water all over the floor. I took a picture of the food and the toy, and the treats that came with the food, and I will post it on here later. I don't feel like taking the time to put it on the computer. Yeah.

Yummy yummy reese's pieces

I love you.

Yummy yummy resse's pieces

Your brown and blue.

Yummy yummy resse's pieces

Designed after batman,

I wish I had a tan.

Okay, so that last line didn't work, but it's the only thing I could think of that rymed with batman. And it's true, so yeah. It works I guess.

Until next time,

P.S. My resse's piece fell in the water Adam spilt...

P.P.S. I don't feel like taking the time to do colors, so I hope you like a colorless post

I'll post more later. Don't have time right now.


Bloggin out,

My 100th Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally made it to 100!! I made a poll about blog posts under all my posts, so don't forget to vote on that!!

My friend Zaina (also my blogger buddy Mitch) is staying at... I think her aunt and uncles house... But anyways, I spent the night with her Thursday night. We went to a $2.50 movie theatre (I mean that the movie tickets cost $2.50 each) and saw the movie College Road Trip. Click HERE to see the review of that movie that Mitch/Zaina and I wrote.

We ordered pizza for dinner (yum!), and watched t.v. and did stuff on the computer, and played Wii (FUN!!). Zaina -- actually I'll call her Mitch. MITCH is soo much better at Wii than I am!! But it was fun! Oh, before we got to play, Mitch;s lil bro was playing, and he finally let us play, and right before we could even push one button, Mitch's mom came in and said, "Time to go!!". We're like, "Are you kidding!?" LOL. It was funny...

That night, after everyone went to bed, we played Wii for a while (it was in the room we slept in), and then got on the laptop that we brought in there. We stayed up until like 12 or 12:30am. I slept backwards. IDK why, I just couldn't get comfortable the real way, so I turned around backwards. :D I do that a lot. I dunno why, just to be different I guess!

ANYWHOO....

The next day, we just like watched TV and did computer until like 2! But before I had to go home, we changed into our swimsuits and got out water balloons! We took up most of the time filling up water balloons, and when we'd move them or use them, most of them would pop super easily! Mitch threw several of the balloons at me, but they just bounced off me (hard! they hurt!) then fell on the ground, and THEN they busted!! We also played the "balloon toss" (I guess that's what it's called) game. We weren't very good, but it was fun!

As me and Mitch were waiting outside for our towels, one of Mitch's lil bros pushed between me and Mitch, and I stepped back, and scrapped my left heel on a brick wall. It hurt pretty bad.

When I looked at it, it was kind of big, and bloody! I was like, ugh! It hurt pretty bad, and the next time I looked at it, I didn't feel good (not kidding!). I was kinda dizzyish, and my foot hurt! Mitch's mom put a big band-aid on it, and then I went to change clothes. I felt really dizzy, and the next thing I know I'm laying on the ground. I guess I passed out. I also hit my head on a wall, and now I got a really sensitive bruise on my left -- no right -- eyebrow.

Today at church, it hurt to wear my shoes (although they was no back to them). And I have to walk with that foot (my left one) on my tippy toe (I sound like I'm a little kid when I say that...). Anywhoo.. I hope it heals soon!!

Another thing: Last night, Luke went to see Batman with some of his friends, one being Jacob from CAPS (Civil Air Patrol). He's like 17 or something like that. Anyways, he needed a place to stay that night, so he stayed in our guest room. He went to church with us, and out to eat too. Luke, Jacob, and their friend Craig just left to go somewhere... Anyways, he is like really good at playing guitar, and piano. Mom said he might stay another night, not sure.

The LOOONGEST post in history of long post -- Maybe

Hey!
I've had a busy week!! Here it is:

Wednesday:
I went over to my friend Miley's (not real name) house, and spent the night. We had a lot of fun! First, we played Guitar hero (fun fun!!). Then her dad's amp that he had ordered came in, and she got her (small) electric guitar out, and was messing around with it. She can only play Yankee Doodle on it. Lol.
While she was doing that, I was playing guitar hero by myself. I was horrible the first two times I played (with Miley) with only a 7 note streak, but I got a little bit better!

We also watched a LOT of the show h2o. It's our FAVORITE show! We watched a LOOT of episodes!! Our favorite one is the one mostly about just about Rikki and Zane (if you've watched the show, you know who I'm talking about.
The most sad one we watched, was where Cleo broke up with Lewis. The sad part was the REALLY SUPER sad face that Lewis made. It made me and Miley cry!!

That night. 1:53am in her room, Miley’s like, “Sarah! We gotta go to sleep now!”
And I’m like, “SEVEN MORE MINUTES! 7 MORE MINUTES!!!”.
She’s like, “Ugh!”

Well… seven minutes went by. Another seven minutes. Another seven minutes. Next thing we know.. It’s 4:00am!! Then I starting singing. Loud, and BAD. LOL!! Miley was laughing the whole time. It was fun! I surprised her parents didn’t wake up and come yell at us!

FINALLY at 4:30am (I sang for 30 minutes. LOL) I got quiet, and we went to sleep. At first I was laughing for no reason. Then I shut-up.

Thursday:
Miley and I, thought we had to leave her house at 10:30am to take me home, but actually it was later, but her mom didn’t tell us. Miley had set the alarm on her ipod for 8, but when it went off, we were so tired, we thought it went off in the middle of the night (we thought it was the time we actually had fallen asleep, but really it was 8!!). So when I woke up, I decided to look at the clock incase we slept past eight. It was 9:30am!! I jumped up into a sitting position, and yelled:
“EMILY! WAKE UP!!!”
She jumped and yelled, “WHAT!?!?”
And I said, “It’s 9:30!!!!!”
And she’s like, “Oh.. I thought the house was on fire!!!” LOL! Glad it wasn’t!!

That morning after breakfast, (can’t remember what I ate…) we watched some parts of two different h2o episodes. Lol. We’re obsessed! Can’t remember anything else, but at some point and time, I went home!!

Friday:
Excuse: Nottin’ special.
Truth: Can't remember

Saturday:
Mom told me that Miley invited me again to spend the night! I was like, wow! Any who… I went over there at some point and time. IDK when. Miley’s lil sis Ali had a friend over too -- Maria. (Caleb's sister)

We went to a baby shower for our youth pastors wife. Miley went there too, so that’s when I went to her house.

Me and Miley played this coolio game on guitar hero 3. It was fun! But she beat me every time. Then, she got her two person slip ‘n slide out, and that was FUN! Miley, Ali, Maria, and I all played on it. We had a contest. Miley came in first. Me second. Ali 3rd , and Maria fourth.

Then I pretended I was Rikki on h2o, and I got wet, so I turned into a mermaid. It was fun and funny!! I was trying to crawl across the grass with just my arms, and my legs were together pretending to be a mermaid tail, so I couldn’t use them. When I got up, I was covered with grass. So I just went down the slip ‘n slide, and I was basically grass free!

Like Wednesday night, Miley’s dad brought home Pizza for dinner!! YUM!!
While we ate, we watched a movie starring Josh Hutcherson when he was 10, called “Little Manhattan”. That was a good movie. I’ll do a movie review on it ASAP, and post it on mine and my friends blog http://mitchiemitchreviews.blogspot.com.

I can’t remember anything else we did.. I went to sleep I guess at about a few minutes past midnight. Miley fell asleep at like 11:30pm or something like that.

Sunday:
We woke up at like eight, and Miley got up then, and I got up at like 8:15 or something like that. I was so tired! Miley’s mom fixed chocolate chip pancakes, and I ate one of those, and some fruity pebbles cereal. YUM!!
Anywhoo… since our church is having a huge makeover (actually adding on), our church was meeting up in a school cafeteria. I was super tired!! They had donuts that day. They were GREAT! I had two.

After church, Adam, mom, and I (Luke didn’t go to church) went to a Mexican restaurant. Another family from our church was there too, so we all sat at the same table. That day, I was going to play with my (8 year old) friend Shae, and Adam was going to play with her 13 year old brother Holt. But they hadn’t called yet (mom had left a message on their mom’s cell phone that we were going out to eat at the restaurant). Luke and dad came to the restaurant right after the rest of us got our food. I wasn’t even half way done with my hamburger (I know a hamburger’s not really Mexican food… but that’s what I always get at this restaurant), when we saw the L’s (I can’t say Shae and Holt’s last name, so I’ll call them the L’s. *wink*) van drive up in the restaurants parking lot. I still had my church clothes on, so I took my suitcase with my stuff in it from Miley’s, and me and Adam got in their van.

Shae and her 5 year old sis Jade were in there (their mom Mrs. Paige driving), but we had to go to a church to pick up Holt. He was at the church with his two older bros (Tad [17] and Reid [15]) practicing or something like that for VBS.
The first thing I did when we got to the L’s house, was hold one of their 4 CUTE lil lab puppies. Their so cute!!

Then me, Shae, and Jade, made a small fort like thing in a room in their house. I think every time I go over there, we make a fort in the same spot. LOL. We drew a picture or two in there, then we went SWIMMING!!! WAHOO! :D We swam for like forever.

Anyways.. Later we 3 played baseball. Twice the ball went into the pool. The second time (I still had my swimsuit on under my clothes FYI) it went in, I took my shirt and shorts off (sounds weird!! BUT I HAD MY SWIMSUIT ON UNDERNEATH MY SHIRT AND SHORTS!!) from over my swimsuit, and jumped in to get it.

So we all went swimming again. We stayed in for a while, then the boys (Adam and Holt) decided to join us. We swam around for a while (oh, and before they came, we got out their slip ‘n slide and put it where it goes in the pool, so we’d slide down into the pool), then when it was getting dark, we played marco polo.
Then Mr. Scott (their dad) told us we had to get out. So we did. And Amanda’s (one of their friends. She’s 16 FYI) two little brothers (Caleb and Joshua “Josh“) were there. Turns out Amanda was in her yard, and got bit by a Copperhead! She was in the hospital (that’s where Tad and Reid were). It was a big one, so it was TOO dangerous. Her lil bros ended up spending the night.

Me, Shae, and Jade slept in the guest room. We watched a little bit of a movie on TV (first it was about Jacob and Esau, then it was about Joseph), then Mr. Scott came in saying it was time to go to sleep. So he turned out the light, and Shae, Jade, and I fell asleep pretty quickly.

Monday:
Mrs. Paige got us up at like 8:20 or something like that, and we had like 15 minutes to get ready before going to VBS! Adam, Holt, and I are to old to be in it, but we were working at it. I had half a piece of sausage and about one biscuit before time to go.

We got there like 10 minutes before it started. Adam and Holt were with one group the whole time. While Mrs. Paige and I stayed in one room the whole 3 hours. It was the Bible story room. We were doing the story of Moses. I had to hold up a HUGE piece of cardboard that had clouds on it, like the pillar of cloud or whatever it’s called. I was so stinkin’ tired!!! I was glad when it was over.

After that, we went home! Me and Adam went over to Zoe’s house to swim. Actually Zoe didn’t wanna swim, so I just swam with Adam and Nivek. That was fun. But then Nivek PURPOSELY splashed water on my shoes, and got them SOAKED. I got kinda mad at him, and I was done swimming anyways, so I went back home.

Tuesday (today):
Today, I was too tired to go to VBS again (I still hadn’t caught up on sleep since Wednesday night), but Adam went. I spent the night at my grandparents house last night, and I didn’t wake up till like 11 or so.

After I came home, and fed all the animals but the horses, I watched TV for an hour and a half, then I went out on the hammock, and read my Horse Illustrated magazine for a long time, then I finally got up and came here to the computer.

I have to get off now and go feed the horses, so TTYL!!

P.S. Sorry this post was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long!

My Looooong Weekend

Hello.

I have a LOT to write about my weekend! Here ye go:

Friday, me and mom went to the animal shelter (I'll post pics on another post *wink*). In the front little pen, were 5 puppies and they were soooo cute!! (their all boys, FYI) Well, I think all pups are cute :D. Anywhoo.. I have scratches (and a lil bit o' sun burn) all over both of my arms, and a scratch on my lip from them pups. They have SHARP claws!! Their claws are sharper than their teeth are!! Gina (the animal shelter lady) said that someone had dropped them off on the side of the road, and they just had to take 'em. I don't blame them! I'd take 'em too!

Here are the names I gave the pups:

Jack (sorta a tough guy name)- The small golden bully

Colby(3rd fav guy name)- The small golden biter (with black along her back bone and tail)

Jessie(4th fav guy name)- black with white markings and a little bigger than Jack and Colby. He also has a half tail.

Matt(2nd fav guy name)- the big fluffy black (with white markings) bob-tailed puppy

Willie(got the name from the Love Comes Softly series)- the biggest black, white, and brown puppy that gets picked on by the other puppies (namely Jack and Jessie). Also...my favorite :D

Jack & Jessie, although they are the smallest ones, they kept picking on Willie.....the BIGGEST one! Poor Willie...that's kinda why he's my favorite one. So, I picked up Willie, and sat down with him on a bench that was in their pen, so the other pups couldn't get him. I held Willie in my lap, and I petted the other 4 puppies, who had their front paws on the bench. A little later, Jack started to fight with Jessie, and Jack doesn't fight playfully. When Jack fights, he means BUSINESS. After a minute (probably less, idk), later Jessie started whining. So I tried to break them up, but Jack was biting on to Jessie's neck, and wouldn't let go, and I didn't want to hurt Jessie worse. That's when I noticed blood on both of the pups faces!! So I ran to the office where mom and Gina were. I told Gina that two of the pups were fighting and bleeding some. So she's like, "*sigh* those puppies fight all the time" (or something like that, can't remember). When we got back to the pen, Jack and Jessie had stopped fighting. When we opened the gate, Jack was the first puppy we saw. He was the one beating up on Jessie, but HE was the only one that got injured! Gina realized it was worse than what she had pictured when I told her they were fighting. Jack's cheek had swollen up kinda big, and really quickly too, which worried Gina. His cheek also had blood all over it! She checked Jessie, and he just had a little bit of blood on his cheek and neck, and it didn't look like it was from him, but from Jack. Gina had to take him to the vet. She was surprised that his cheek had swollen up so quickly.

Later, when Gina brought him back, Jack's cheek was hardly swollen, and the blood was gone. She said when she got to the vet, Jack also had a fever! Really weird... Anywhoo.. Gina put Jack right back with the puppies, which surprised me. But, whatevs. Jack almost immediately tried to fight again! So, just like I did with Willie, I picked him up, and sat down on the bench with him in my lap. At first, he growled and tried to bite the other puppies who came over for attention. But I held on to him so he couldn't. When Gina walked past the fence, Jack would jump off my lap, and follow the puppies to the fence. But, the first two times he did that, he tried to get in some fights. So I had to put him back in my lap. After a while, he gave up on fighting. When I was petting him, he picked up his paw, and accidentally scratched me above my lip. That didn't feel to good.

My right arm has scratches all over it from Colby. He really likes to scratch and bite!

The worst conditioned dog there was Fisher. A shih-tzu. Some man found him on the side of the road. Fisher's nails hadn't been cut for like a year, and his nail's had like curled in complete circles! And her fur had been all matted, and her eyes were REALLY dry, so they looked...weird. But when I saw him (I think it's a him...) his nails had been cut to normal, and she barely had any fur, cause they had to get rid of all the matted stuff. She also had scabs ALL over her. I hope so badly she'll heal completely, and that she'll go to a great home. Me and mom wanna foster her when she's ready. We'll see..

Two of the dogs me and mom really like, were brother and sister Magoo and Malta. Terrier mix I think. They reminded us of the dog Bobby in the book "Greyfriars Bobby" by Eleanor Atkinson. We read part of the book, but never did finish it. Both dogs are really shy, and they get so scared, they pee whenever and wherever. Yeah. Gross, I know. Magoo is more shy than his sister Malta. I think their really pretty. I wanted to foster one, but Saturday they got adopted! Yea!

The animal shelter still has 3 Cocker Spaniels left from the time they rescued 27 of them from a breeder. Their names are Inga, Morgan, and Jada. Jada's my fav. She's ALWAYS happy, and always full of energy, and she's very hyper. INga & Morgan are reeally quiet, (and pretty) mostly Morgon, but Jada is the opposite. She was really hyper, running around, wagging her stub of a tail, and when she'd calm dopwn some, she'd hop inot my lap and sit there panting. I really want to foster her. :)

Zombie is what you call a gentle giant. He is a purebred big Rottweiler. He LOVES attention. He'll give me a paw, and jumps up (well, put's his front paws on) against the wall, to get more attention. He's so sweet and loving. And...big. Pretty big.

That night, me and Adam spent the night at our friends house (my friend: Shae(7) Adam's friend: Holt(13)). We went to a baseball park I guess you'd say (little league) to watch Amanda's (Tad(almost 17) and Reid's(15) friend) little brother play baseball. WELL...we didn't exactly WATCH it. We played baseball in another field. Me and Adam didn't really play much, we mostly just watched (I'm not that good at sports, but I wanna be!).

That night, at their house, Amanda and her friend Kat came over for a little while. We played tag a little bit, and when Reid wasn't looking, I stuck a frog (that had peed all over itself) down his shirt. :D That was fun. He said he'd get me back, but he hasn't yet.

Later, after Amanda and Kat had left, I was making a SKILLET sign (similar to the one I have at home), and Shae told me to give it to Tad, since he likes Skillet the most outta their family. So I wrote on the back that it was to Tad. Then Reid came in, and he said the he like Skillet more than Tad did, so I added his name to the back of the sign. Then I gave it to him, and he went out of the room to where Tad was playing a computer game, and Adam and Holt were playing video games. And Reid was like, "Tad! Look what Sarah made for you!" and I yelled back, "IT'S TO YOU TOO REID!!!" He ignored me and was like, "Sarah likes Tad!" or something like that, can't remember, and then I was like, "SHUTUP! NOT TRUE! AND SHAE TOLD ME TO GIVE IT TO YOU!!!!" And I never saw that piece of paper again..

Sunday, mom, Adam, and I (mom want's me to say it that way, and not: me, adam and mom, like I usually do *rolls eyes* WHO CARES ABOUT PROPER GRAMMER!!!!) went to my great-grandma's 84th b-day party. She lives in a retirement home FYI. It was pretty simple. Small room, and just cake and punch. Well, after me and and my second cuz Kaitlen ate a piece of cake, we saw quite a few dogs outside (with people of course). They were there to visit with the people at the retirement home. We saw them training them too. They laid down a BIG Mastiff, and a St. Benard on the ground, and the other dogs jumped over them. One dog jumped over the St. Benard, but didn't make it over the Mastiff. Instead, he LANDED on him! Lol. I got to pet the St. Benard and one touch of the Mastiff!! First time for me to pet a Mastiff.

Well, I guess that's it. Talk to you lata! *waves*
