Random thoughts of the day: I'm eating leftover Chinese food. I really like Chinese food. I plan to mow the grass today. English and Sociology are my main focus as far as homework is concerned. Oh my goodness! I need to call Mrs. Sherri today. I loved my French class today.
Enough of what is going through my head... My biking story. I thought it was very amusing but then again it doesn't take much to amuse me. So this may not have the same effect for you. That's okay. I won't be offended if you think it's lame! ;-) Oh, and I totally would have forgotten if someone hadn't reminded me. Thanks friend!
So I'm on a new biking route. I'd been wanting to bike that road for a while. I got ready (workout clothes, tennis shoes, helmet, etc), went outside and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, but nothing I felt like I needed to be concerned about. I get on my bike and go. My plan was to ride 22 miles one way (to the next major town) and ride home. So 44 miles right? I am about halfway there when my Dad calls and tells me where I am biking there is about to be a major storm and there are already tornado warnings for my area. He suggest I turn around and go home and while I'm doing that (I'm not the fastest biker in the world!) he's going to drive down and pick me up. He works about 30 minutes from where I was biking so I told him I would call RG to pick me up. It would be much faster. I knew he was off work because he was going out of town I just didn't know if he had already left. I call him and he's already gone. He says he is going to call Nathan. I kinda figured Nathan was at the BCM so I didn't think that was going to work. I ask RG if Nathan is home and he says, "I don't know. I call him and find out." I get off the phone and call my dad back and tell him to come get me. By the way, I'm biking and talking on the cell at the same time! RG calls back a few minutes later. Nathan is indeed at the BCM but RG has called his stepbrother to come get me. He'll be there in few minutes.
I'm thinking okay, that's fine... even though I don't know who his stepbrother is. Stepbrother comes, loads my bike into his SUV and takes me home. While driving home we are making small talk and he says something about going to the same college I currently attend. I said, "I don't remember seeing you there." And he replies that I look a little familiar. So I ask what classes he's taking. Turns out we are in the same Comp 1101 class and had no idea that we were. It was really funny! I started laughing!
So I was rescued! My Dad was relieved. I was disappointed in the weather for interrupting my bike ride. I was also highly embarrassed by the way I looked. I was such a mess. I hadn't had a shower, had make-up from the day before still on and was in my little hoochy-momma biking shorts and a spaghetti strap shirt with an over-sized jacket. Praise the Lord for the jacket because I was bit exposed. Plus I had been riding for a good hour so I stunk.
I never let people (besides my family) see me that way. I like looking as though I am composed, put together and in control. There is a time and a place for looking dirty and for allowing people to see you that way. I guess biking isn't one of those occasions for me.
Anyways, that is my biking story. It was pretty funny while it was happening. I just started laughing because what else was I going to do?! It was nice to have like 3 different guys all concerned about me getting out of the storm. Between Dad, RG and Nathan biking all the way home was not an option. :) Aren't they sweet? That's what Fathers and friends are for right?

Blast from the Past
My head feels like it's going to explode. It hurts. I've been doing homework since nine this morning. My back hurts from sitting in front of my computer all day. My legs hurt because I went "tanning" yesterday and spent the entire time on my stomach so now only the back of my thighs are burnt. They hurt like the dickens!
So I've gone back and read quite a few of my blogs. I feel like I've grown quite a bit in the last couple months. It's been good and yet I'm ashamed of how I've been in the past. I've been pretty snobby.
Well, I'm going to take a walk. I need some sort of break and it needs to be something that has nothing to do with the computer! 30 minutes or so of nothing and then French here I come!

Photo Shoot
When Anna and I have time we love to take pictures together. We usually do this on Sunday mornings when we are ready for church and have oogles of time! Today was one of those days. Aren't we beautiful?!
Can you tell who is who?! :)

New Loves
I've discovered a new love for pictures in my blog... :) They make the blog a bit more personal. Well, I think so.
I have a question. How can I be friendly with a guy without him getting the wrong idea?! Because I feel like this is happening. Facebook chat is lame!
I feel like guys have been coming out of the wood-works this week. I don't know why or what has caused it but it's crazy! And I'm not sure I like it. Why does it all happen at once?
Ummm... CoolGuy. I hope you are doing well. You commented for a few days and then disappeared. You should come back. I like it when you comment. :)
Is it raining where you are? It's been raining since yesterday... or the day before yesterday. I don't remember. I just know it's been raining for a long time. It's not even a soft friendly rain. You know the kind you go out and dance in? No. It's let me kill you with my lightening strikes kind of rain! That's not cool and it makes me sad.
Gotta run. The sis and I are going into town for a movie and ice-cream! Love!

Toes and Panties
I'm sitting on the side of the tub in my undies. I've just finished painting my toenails Rapid Ruby red. And I'm thinking about my mom.
When mom would paint her nails they were always red. I don't know why but that was the color she used. Mom's personality could be categorized as the color red. Happy, cheerful, full of love, surprises at every turn and more. So today when I sat down to paint my own for some reason no other color was fitting my mood. I'm not sure what my mood is but it's not Java or whatever that other color was I almost used.
During spring break I learned something about mom I never knew. Apparently she had a thing for pretty underwear and bras. We (Bethany and I) were visiting with mom's best friend and she told us that mom would actually need new panties but if she couldn't find any pretty undies she would walk out of the store without purchasing any!
Do you know how many times I've done that same exact thing? So many, many times. I love beautiful, sexy underwear. And the older I get the more I seem to love pretty bras and panties.
Perhaps this wasn't the best subject to write about on my very public blog, but finding yet another way I am just like my mom has made me miss her. And blogging is at times the only way I release.
I admit I want to cry. I miss my mom right now really badly. I wish we could go shopping for sexy underwear and paint our toes red together. But that won't happen.... So I'll settle for resting in the Lord, painting my toes in her honor and enjoying my girl boxers (my newest favorite kind of undies) to the fullest.

New Favorite Friend.....
I have today discovered a new favorite friend. I haven't laughed that sweetly or freely in a while. And everything that was said was actually funny. Nothing crude, rude or plain ol' dirty. Yes, I have a new favorite friend. And for the first time in my life I'm looking forward to drinking tea. I have a tea date. Fun stuff.
New favorite song?! I have one of those too! This is the day for favorites! Yes! I LOVE favorites!
Okay, so my new favorite song is Firefly by Jimmy Needham. You can listen to it on his myspace page or on mine. I have it playing there nonstop! Here are the lyrics:
It’s tulips and it’s daisies
Your favorite flowers lately
You think that I ain’t listening, but you know I do
With your two lips on me baby
My head starts getting dazey
Don’t give me a flower
What I want is you
CHORUS
It happened on the day you put your hand in mine
You went up to my head just like a glass of wine
Girl, you spark my attention like a firefly
And make me happy to be alive
You move into a room like
Summer breeze at noon time
Baby, out of nine, I’d give you ten
Your love is like an ocean
Surf and spray in motion
Baby, I’m a diver and I love to swim
(Chorus)
These are just simple words of mine
And though most of what I feel is hard to rhyme
Ain’t it good to know your boy gave it a try?
O a try
It’d take a thousand colors just to paint your eyes
Like saving grace, they raise me up to paradise
This ain’t opinion, it’s consensus from my heart and mind
You make me happy to be alive
This song makes my heart melt. I hope one day a guy feels that way about me... And what a cowinkydink! One of my favorite flowers are daisies. I'm falling in love with a song.
Since we're (well, technically just me, but I want to include you!) all about favorites today... *breaks out into song* These are a few of my favorite things!
*bust out laughing!!* Okay so if you read this, you HAVE to comment and tell me your favorites. It won't be fair if you don't. You'll know all about me and I will know nothing about you. I might cry. Well, probably not, but I will feel pretty sad. So you should comment! ;)
Soooo.... Favorite(s)?
Smell: Fresh cut grass. Coffee. The smell of wood burning (that smokey smell! it's hott!). Chocolate. Food when I'm really hungry. Shampoo (I love shampoo).
Drink: Black coffee. Water. Coke as far as soda is concerned. Green tea. Juice (man! I love me some juice!!).
Food: I don't know why I put this here. I can never think of a favorite food. :(
Weather: Sunny but cool with a slight breeze. That is what I call perfect weather.
Time of day: Dusk or late at night when the moon is all big and bright and everyone is dancing!
Color: Brown!!
Place to get coffee: Around here... Starbucks.
Way to exercise: Biking is my new favorite (I have a story about this... I was rescued today! Remind me to tell you later!)
Thing to do on the weekend: Watch a movie (sometimes by myself). Read a book. Hang with the siblings. Driving on dirt roads! Eating ice-cream with the windows down in the car.
Networking site (you know, twitter vs facebook vs myspace?!): Ummm.... I don't know. Blogger?!
Type of music: Sweet and smooth coffee house music. Christian. Country. Pop. Jazz. Swing. I love music people!
Word: Freakin'. Heck (depending on who says this word I think it's cute! I'm so weird!)
Phrase: Hang it!
Person: See above. Bethany. Marianna. Joe. Dad.
Thing to wear to bed: ;) Not telling!
Movie: This is another stupid favorite question. Who can pick a favorite movie?! There are a lot of good ones!
Song: Firefly (right now)!
And I'm having a hard time coming up with more than that! I almost wrote favorite deodorant! Mine is Secret. The crystal clear gel kind. But you didn't really need to know that.
Remember. You read. You comment. Or I cry. *grins*

"I like you"
Wow. I have no idea what to do or think. I've known this guy for over three years. Tonight he asked me out and then told me he likes me. I kind of knew that he liked me but since nothing had been said I just ignored the "signs". And since I'm not interested in him like that it made it easy to ignore.
I feel bad because I don't want to hurt him. But if he is saved he doesn't care about his relationship with the Lord and that is so important to me. I can't change or soften my standards on that issue.
Man. I hate this. I care about him as a friend but nothing more. Relationships are so complicated.

Funny Faces
Okay so I decided to post some pictures and videos from spring break.
I love spending time with Bethany! We have so much fun together! So these videos are of us riding the 4-wheelers (as if you couldn't tell). I think we just laughed the entire time! It was my first time driving a 4-wheeler (I usually ride) and I LOVED it! Of course I knew I would. I love driving period. ***Hey, turn the sound off on the videos. It doesn't pick up anything we say (or scream!!) and it sounds like weird scary music!
So when Bethany was driving it was hilarious! She was all over the place and at one point she drives into this rut thingy and we end screaming and then she decides she wants me to drive! It was so funny! That was not part of the video... even though we were screaming in the video too! haha!
And you were wondering just why I wanted to riding again?! Now you know. :)
Okay so in the past I have taken pictures of "stone" creatures and sent them to Meg and Bethany. But now you get a picture too. I saw this as I was leaving town... it was for sale at a yard sale and I had to have a picture!
It is a known fact that when you give a cute four year old a camera you are more likely to make silly faces and not feel embarrassed about them! haha! Don't you love my monkey face?!
A few more pictures. But these have nothing to do with spring break.
Yes, this is my room. I know it's a mess. I plan on cleaning it today. This is the aftermath of my homecoming. :) I threw everything on the floor and then stayed up until 12am writing an essay. And I just haven't had time since to wash clothes (FYI, they are all in the washer and dryer right now!!) or put stuff away. I have a lot to do. Anyone want to clean it for me?!
And my newest favorite outfit for summer! A man tank with a spaghetti strap shirt over top. I love it.
And last... I dropped two of my brothers off to camp with the home school group today. And I just wanted to take a picture of them. I was so proud of them. Spank forgot his tent poles so they worked it out and used David's poles with Spank's tent and there was not a single complaint or argument! I love them.
The end. I'm going to get ready for the Bible study and then clean my room! Oh, I'm sorry if the picture and/or videos are blurry. I took them with my cell.

Looks Matter.... Not.
This past week I've felt ugly. I know that sounds kind of... well, it just sounds bad. But that's how I've felt. Mainly because a guy I was talking to saw a picture of me and hasn't talked to me since. And then another guy wrote a reference letter for me and just praised every "good" quality concerning me he could think of and after he read it to me I couldn't think of anything to say. It was too much... I know I am not that good or amazing. But after getting off the phone I wondered how he can think all of those things and yet not be attracted to me? Of course being a girl I would think that it has to be how I look.
I know I'm not bad looking but both of those things did make me feel a bit depressed about how I look. So it was incredibly encouraging today when I'm grocery shopping in Wally World and this gorgeous guy smiles at me every time I pass him. AND then!!! I saw my favorite big brother in the world and he told me he could tell I'd lost weight!!! YES!!! That made my day. I've been exercising like a mad woman and to know that people can tell it was like being given a million dollars! Not that I know what that feels like but I can imagine!
Apparently it's turkey hunting season. I didn't know that until today. See I had this crazy wild craving to go 4-wheeler riding. But I don't think that is going to happen. I don't own a 4-wheeler so I was bumming rides from Johnathan and/or RG. I really want to go riding though. Hang the turkey! We can ride and shoot like the cowboys! haha. Okay, it's time for me to go to bed. I can always tell when I've stayed up too late because I end up writing crazy weird stuff!! Good night people.

Spring Break
It has almost been two weeks since I last posted. Goodness so much has happened. Oh, before I forget my two hour bike ride two weeks ago gave me a very nice head start on my tan!! I'm really happy about that.
I very clearly saw during my spring break how I do not want the guy I marry to behave. Men. Bridal showers are for the bride and her friends. And as my dear ol' dad said "He will learn really fast that when you are married it's hers, hers and... hers."
And if there is a girls movie night planned (with a movie such as Anne of Green Gables or Pride and Prejudice or something along those lines) please be sweet and allow us to have our girls night with having to kick you out of the house! For heavens sake.
Oh, and I promise I will not ever spend an entire weekend with my boyfriend if I have friends who have driven over nine freaking hours to see me. Sorry darlin', you'll have to go camping or do something manly with your friends because I won't be available (phone calls are good though). And if you come celebrate my birthday knowing that my family has a tradition of saying something nice about the bday person before getting cake and all you can say is, "I think you are amazing and I can't wait for you to take care of me." Well, you might just want to get up and leave at that point because neither I or my family is going to be very happy with you (that is lame and selfish and not at all what I would want in a relationship).
I think I hate spring break. My motivation to do homework is gone. Maybe it's just because I'm so tired. I don't know, but I don't want to do any homework right now. And clearly I'm not because I'm blogging.
I'm off to bed. I'm so tired. Oh, wait. First amazing news. I have been accepted to Toccoa Falls College. I'm so excited. If you want to order something from the Pampered Chef to help me earn money for college let me know. I'm hosting a catalog show for that purpose starting now and ending April 8th. Email me: 16augustgirl @ gmail . com (without the spaces of course!). So since I've been helping watch my siblings for the last couple years full time I haven't been able to have a job and earn money for college and this is a way for me to do it! Plus you'll get AWESOME kitchen products as well! This is a win-win situation. Tell all your friends and family. It's easy you browse the pamperedchef.com website and then send me the product numbers and payment method. If you order online I will not receive credit for it because I don't yet have my own pc web-page. Hopefully that will happen in the next week or so. I'll let you know when that happens.
Now I'm going to bed. I hope you guys had a great spring break (or whatever you did the last week and a half). I'll write more about my trip later. Night!

Dreams
My life is amazing. Sometimes. But it all works out in the end. I'm going to apologize for lying, but not tell him what I lied about.... Does that count?!
A couple things I want to buy before I head to TN.... rain boots, a book or two and a new CD. Suggestions for music would be amazing. Books I really want the latest in the Luxe's series! And then Cyndere's Midnight. It's part of the Auralia series. I loved Auralia's Colors. And I would love to read them both before the end of Spring Break! I haven't read a good fiction book in a long time and it would make my week complete if I was able to read them both!
But.... I'm a poor, broke college student who has no money except for food on my trip. So my week will not be made complete. I will stick to biking, painting and drinking good coffee. It will have to do. And probably a lot of journaling. I'll be without internet so I most likely won't blog at all next week. So sad. I'll miss a complete week of Andy Merrick! Speaking of Andy I am going to be in Nashville Sunday any suggestions for good coffee, food, etc?
Anna is being incredibly sweet. She is making a CD of complete heathen music for Bethany and I to listen to while we're driving! I love listening to mainstream music while I'm traveling! Give me some Beyonce Single Ladies or DIVA. Bring it! Nickleback, John Legend, Pink. I don't know what it is about that type of music, but it's perfect for being on a long highway.
I went for a 2 hour and 20 minute bike ride today. It was amazing. I love biking. I'm gone. My little bro is about to shoot off a rocket and he wants me out there! Have a great Wednesday!
A couple things I want to buy before I head to TN.... rain boots, a book or two and a new CD. Suggestions for music would be amazing. Books I really want the latest in the Luxe's series! And then Cyndere's Midnight. It's part of the Auralia series. I loved Auralia's Colors. And I would love to read them both before the end of Spring Break! I haven't read a good fiction book in a long time and it would make my week complete if I was able to read them both!
But.... I'm a poor, broke college student who has no money except for food on my trip. So my week will not be made complete. I will stick to biking, painting and drinking good coffee. It will have to do. And probably a lot of journaling. I'll be without internet so I most likely won't blog at all next week. So sad. I'll miss a complete week of Andy Merrick! Speaking of Andy I am going to be in Nashville Sunday any suggestions for good coffee, food, etc?

I Lied.
Ummmmm. I don't even know where to start. I found out today that the guy I really, really like is thinking about (and probably going to) start "getting-to-know" a good friend of mine. I encouraged him to do so. When he made a comment about my emotions (he knows I "used" to like him -- heaven help me. I hope he does not read my blog!!) and how I had had to stop spending time with him I told him I had just "changed my thought process about you". I lied. Let's go back a couple blogs and reread my Master of Masking. The lie came so easily. In 2 seconds I told him what I had told myself a couple months ago. Both complete lies. I guilty for telling him a lie, but I don't know what to do about it. Man, if I tell him I lied to him he'll know I still like him. Then it will be awkward. I have worked very hard at having a true friendship with him and because my conscience (the Holy Spirit) is convicting me of lying it could all completely change. In the past when I've had this nagging conviction I've ending going back to the person and telling the truth. Maybe it would be a good thing. I won't see him for another week and a half or so after tomorrow night. Oh my word! I have no idea what to do... Advice would definitely be welcomed.
I am eating minced meat pie. I bought some from the store because I've read so many historical fiction books where they've eaten it that after seeing it I wanted to try it. It's not bad. I understand why my dad used to eat it at Thanksgiving. It's very sweet. We are having it with a tomato and fennel salad. I think my favorite part is the pie crust! haha! Isn't that horrible?
Yes. It is true that I am attracted to certain body/facial/hair/eye types in guys. But since CoolGuy's comments I have found myself looking at other guys who don't meet my favored criteria with a new set of eyes. I don't know if I'm any more attracted to them, but I'm definitely more open to the idea. If that makes sense. Character is so important to me that I'm taking CoolGuy's comments to heart and not focusing on the outward appearance as much (which clearly I was doing). It's been good for me.
Thursday I have a Pampered Chef show. Friday morning I pack and leave for Toccoa. Friday afternoon I arrive in Toccoa and I believe Bethany and I are then going to TN. Remind me to print directions. It's supposed to rain the entire time I'm in TN. I am not happy about that. But I am going to purchase some rain boots. I hate having wet feet unless I'm purposely walking in a creek or jumping in puddles or swimming. But rain is not cool.
I need to get ready for bed. I'm heading that way in an hour or so. I'm tired and need to catch up on sleep before my show on Thursday. I have a feeling I'll be up very late. I probably won't blog again before next week. I hope you guys have a great weekend!

Spring Break! Take Me Away!
I am so ready for Spring Break. It's a week away and I wish it was tomorrow! I don't even have class tomorrow. But all I do all week is class and homework. Well, today I took the little bros to their dentist appointment. But that wasn't a "break" so to say. I'm really irritated with my Sociology current event project right now. It's too thick and my stapler won't staple it. But the good news is I'm finished with it! Praise the Lord! It's due on Tuesday and since I'm leaving tomorrow for a youth trip thingy I'm glad I'm finished.
I still have a full sentence outline and a visual aid due on Tuesday for Public Speaking. So not cool. I'll be doing homework on Sunday. I think I've over committed myself this weekend. Oh, and please remind me to read for my English class. We have a quiz on Monday and I didn't do too well on this last one. I couldn't remember probably more than half of the answers and I'd read the info a day or two before. I think my brain is fried.
Tomorrow I'm getting up at 6:30 so I can be at the gym by 7am. Work out for about 40 minutes. Come home, take a shower, go grocery shopping, come home again, pack and leave. I have all of that to do before 2:30pm. I feel like I'm losing it already.
I need sleep. I don't function well when I'm tired. I am clearly tired. I'm so sorry. I know I said that next time I wouldn't complain. It's not a good habit to get into. Maybe I won't go to the gym. Maybe I'll get some sleep. I could use it.
So something happy.... I get to see Bethany when I come home Saturday. That's always a good thing. I'm looking forward to painting during spring break. You have no idea how badly I want to paint. It's like every part of my being is craving it.
By the way, guys... don't send me text messages about having sex in your bedroom. I don't care if it is a forward. That is wrong. It makes you disgusting. Don't get me wrong, I look forward very much so to having sex with my HUSBAND!!! Whoever he is.... but that's not the point. The point is, if you are trying to impress me, it didn't work. It won't ever work. And you definitely just got put on the "No" list.
I've thought a lot about what CoolGuy said in his comment. If I could be granted one wish, I would wish to understand men. I still don't know exactly what part of my last blog made him say what he did. And I still don't understand the whole "labeling" part. And if the reason the guy hasn't approached me is because he thinks he doesn't fit my standards... well... I have no idea how to even process that; I can understand it for a few guys, but for this guy... Part of me says that it isn't possible for him to not know that he fits. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing CoolGuy's response.
I'm off to bed. Oh, and CoolGuy. Thanks for commenting. That not only made me think, but it made my day! I love comments from "readers". I'm silly I know, but it really does make my day. I hope you guys have a fantastic evening and weekend! Au revoir!

Raves and Rants
What a week. In the last week I have traveled to Toccoa; gone on a 2, 3 hour hike, jumped over a creek twice, and been snowed in in Athens. It was interesting to say the least.
Can I just say that sometimes I hate knowing other people actually read my blog because if I didn't know and if I thought that in some way I was "hidden" I would totally write stuff I don't want the whole world to know. I need a journal. I need to buy one and I need to start again.
I know you aren't supposed to announce to the world that you are fasting, but I need my frères and sœurs to pray for and with me. I am praying about going on a sabbatical. My dear, lovely friend Candace gave me the idea. I just love Candace. I am so thankful the Lord blessed me with her friendship. Anyways, I'm just not sure if this what the Lord desires me to do. I also would be fasting from a certain "thing" on top of the sabbatical. I just don't know. I need answers. I need peace that passes understanding. I need direction. I need the Lord to speak very, very clearly to me concerning this situation.
Can I just say that men are so freakin' weird?! Make up your mind already! And I really want to know WHY you told her that. It doesn't make sense.
The next two weekends I am going to be crazy, out of my mind busy! It will be insane. Hopefully I won't go insane! This weekend I am going on a youth trip with the youth group from my church as a youth counselor. Next weekend I am going to TN. And the weekend after that there is the possibility of going to Toccoa. Speaking of Toccoa. I am applying. I hope and pray I will be attending TFC in the Fall.
I am going to be in a wedding. No, I am not getting married. I am a bridesmaid. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I feel like the whole "once a bridesmaid, always a bridesmaid" is going to seem like a very strong truth in my life since there aren't any godly men interested in me. I guess I'm okay with that for now. Je ne sais pas.
I need to work on my Sociology. I'm done ranting. Hopefully my next blog will be a bit happier. Au revoir!
