Today is Friday, as you might know. Actually, that's a lie, yesterday was Friday. But since I haven't slept yet, it still seems like Friday.
Yesterday was a pretty great Friday. I slept 35 minutes past my alarm, still got to school on time, was quite wide awake and accomplished a lot while at school, including touching up my fingernails. Which was just an added bonus.
After school I went to Shelbie's and chilled with her, Micah, Shyloh, Ashley, Shaylah and Paige. Good times. Shyloh made me an adorable bow, and Shelbie, Micah and I watched the first bit of the Sound of Music.
Tomorrow I'll post pictures of the beach. :)
Goodnight, loves.

Incoherent.
I think this is week six. Or seven, maybe? I'm not sure. I lose track. I'm so exhausted lately, it's not even funny. I find myself zoning when I'm talking to people, and I feel like half the time I'm not even coherent when I am awake, haha. The get-up-early-every-single-stinking-day part of school is pretty much lame. A lot lame.
We're doing facials. Today I had two : a plain facial and a dermalight facial. I fell asleep during both of them. A sure sign of compound exhaustion, in my humble opinion. Because I don't like people touching my face, so a facial is not really at all relaxing to me. So if I can fall asleep during one, I'm just guessing, but I'd say I must be pretty dang tired.
Speaking of which, it's bedtime.
I can't wait for the beach! :)
More to follow at a later date.

'Update' is a Lame Title for a Post. :P But That Happens to be What This Is.
Well, it's the middle of week three, and I'm still alive. Hurra! I am glad of that, at least.
Today, someone told me I would look cute if I dyed my hair blonde and then put in some extensions. Talk about changing my look, haha. I was like, "Ummm..." I didn't really know what to say to that. Haha! But personally, I like my hair quite a lot, just the way it is, and I don't really feel like changing it. :)
I found a pattern for an adorable knitted grocery bag today. Pretty sure I'm gonna buy it. :) I'm sure I know someone who needs one just like it.
It's nice to be home right now. :)
And...I'm done. Night!

A Momentously Tow-Truck-Ish Experience.
I've become such a terrible blogger lately! :(
I must say, I have been rather horrid busy. I actually haven't even time to sum up what I've been up to lately, but I can do yesterday and today. That'll have to do.
My mother and I went into town yesterday to do a little shopping. I had some gift cards and some exchanges and we had a bit of grocery shopping as well. We parked our car, and walked through a few shops, where I made several quite satisfactory "deals," and then returned to the parked car. Which is when the Suburban decided that just then would be a terrific time to...not start. So, naturally, we called AAA, who sent a tow truck. The car finally started, but only to drive a few yards and die again, so the tow truck man hooked us (passengers, packages and all) up to the back of his tow truck. Then he proceeded to drag us up onto the bed of the truck, while it was still all slanty, and then he flattened it out, so our car was on top, with us in it. We were literally level with the trees. It was a pretty unique experience, I must say. I've honestly never in my life heard of anyone riding in their car, on a tow truck. But we did. I documented this momentous experience with mucho video, which unfortunately is not quite so readily available as I had hoped. Nevertheless, I shall get it up eventually, I hope. That was yesterday's interesting-experience-of-the-day.
Today, we went to church, did some shopping, I got a new pair of earbuds for my iPod, since my old ones broke, and went back to church. Not horribly eventful.
Tomorrow, though, is going to be rather exciting, as my orientation for beauty college is tomorrow morning. I am rather very excited, I must say. I can't really say how it will be, because I've never been to an orientation before, but I am quite excited.
And then, on Tuesday, is my first day of beauty college! Which is a very exceedingly momentous event. So that's pretty... cool. And awesome.
The end.
P.S. Don't hate, if I don't blog for another few weeks. It's going to be wierd, adjusting to a new schedule.

Yogolicious and Not-Growing-Up.
Today, Owen and I went to Yogolicious. As you can imagine, we had a splendid time. We both agreed that chocolate was the best, and so, of course, we both got chocolate yogurt. He put gummy worms on his, and I had peanut butter cups on mine. It was fantastic.
After Yogolicious, we ventured to Target, where we picked up a lacrosse bat/net/swingy-thing for him, for his birthday present. I was rather skeptical, but he was quite sure he wanted it, so that is what we bought. He opened it immediately upon arriving home, and didn't seem to have any "buyer's remorse," so I guess I was safe in trusting his four-year-old judgement. :-)
Tomorrow, I am going on a field trip. With the Deaf kids from a bunch of schools all over the place. It shall be uber fun. I'm going to really enjoy signing conversationally. I've never gotten to, this much, before. It's going to be an amazing experience, I think. I'm really looking forward to that.
Also, it's kind of odd. I'm getting so busy lately. I'm getting so I'm not going to have time to do activities that I normally enjoy, to make room for more responsible uses of my time. Grown-ups keep saying, "Welcome to the real world," but I don't want to grow up and be responsible yet! I won't!!! :P Bahahaha!

Nothing of Particular Interest to Anyone.
Nothing particularly interesting has happened of late.
I turned 16 last week. So far, 16 has been spectacular. Presumably, it's all uphill from here. Although I suppose that is tremendously debatable.
Today, as we were pulling out of the church parking lot after first service, we saw this cute, little, old couple pull in on scooters. He had on a teal shirt, and her dress was the same color. They seriously had to be in their 60s... They were so cute, all matching and everything! And, the best part : when they parked and took off their helmets, they both stopped and combed their hair in the middle of the parking lot before walking into church. It was hysterical. Pretty much made my day.
Today, in class, we discussed what we would do if we had a million dollars. One kid said he'd buy out Bass Pro, another girl said she'd buy a million Webkinz, Annie said she'd buy an elephant named Rafiki... and then one little boy said he'd buy the world. When informed that one million dollars wasn't quite enough to buy the world, he said, "Well, then, I guess I'll just buy myself a small country." It was pretty amusing. If I had a million dollars... (We were assuming that we'd already donated a whole bunch to the church and missionaries, etcetera, and had just a million left over for ourselves.), I think I'd buy a custom Breedlove. That's prob'ly $50,000 or so, of the $1,000,000. So after that... I'd go shopping - at Anthropologie. :) Blow a couple thousand there, and after that? ...The sky's the limit, as the saying goes. I'd prob'ly throw in an old, beat-up Mustang and a trusty pickup, too. If I had enough left. You never know, with a million dollars. What really amuses me is how quickly I can imagine up ways to spend so much money. I don't think a million dollars would be ideal, really. It'd prob'ly just as well be 2 or 3 million. Or even a billion, while we're at it. If you're going to imagine things... you might as well be absurd, right? ;)
I have read Psalm 34 probably 27.5 times in the last couple days. And I keep finding more amazing stuff in it. So I'm going to do what I do occasionally that drives everyone up a wall, and type up the whole dang thing so everyone can experience the glory. :)
Psalm 34 - The Lord delivers His own
(A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.)
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around all those who fear Him,
And delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
