A VERY Productive Weekend

So, we had a very busy, but productive weekend!

Friday, I took my 2 weeks of no nail biting picture. Here it is.


Not to shabby! By next week they will look like nice regular fingernails and I'll paint them up all pretty! :)

Saturday, we did A LOT of things. We got up early. Went to get donuts and headed to Meme's house. Mom, Celeste, Stephanie, Laiken, Beth, Lacey, and I all loaded up in the car and when to Monroe to go wedding dress shopping(again). First we went to Anitra'a. They had some really nice dresses but most of the selections in my size where picked over or gone so not alot for me to try on. Then we went to The Bridal Shop (owned by the same people as King of Hearts in Vivksburg) and I tried on 3 dresses there and the 3rd one was THE ONE! That means it was almost exactly number 75 in the whole search that I've tried on! :) lol So we ordered it and it will be in some time in July! Yay. Now I can concentrate on bridesmaid/ flower girl dresses.(and a lot of other things!) So here we all are after finding the dress.


And another (because stephanie had to take the other picture ). :)



After that we went to lunch at a little Italian place that was recommended to us by the people at The Bridal Shop.

Then, we went to Michael's, where Laiken insisted that she didn't see what was so "artsy and crafty" about the things in the store! Lol

Then we went to the mall. Where to Laiken and Beth's delights they have a 2 story carousel. :)










Then after that we left to go eat and go home. We stopped at the Red Top in Tullulah to eat. Then we went home and we were all tired. Especially Laiken and Beth.



On Sunday, Jeremy and I slept in until 11:00. Then we got ready and when to Meme's house for lunch. After that, we left there an went to shoot with his dad at the range in Byrum. I didn't do so hot with the hand guns but I was pretty good with his new .22 and the fancy scope he has! :) the first time I shot on a big regulation target.


10 shots fired. 10 inside the circle. Not too bad.

The second tine I shot on one if the little 1"x1" square stickers.


20 shits. Only 1 really out of formation(I had a little mishap with the ammo not feeding itself out of the clip right so it was a little bit of a test shot) other than that I had a nice grouping going on!
After we were done there, we went to look around at Best Buy and then we ate at Applebee's. after that we came home exhausted. That was about it for our weekend.

Dude Looks Like A Lady

:) and Josh Reeves is the "Dude"! I was so excited to see Hairspray tonight in the Encore performance and I was NOT disappointed! It was so amazingly funny! I couldn't stop laughing so hard I cried! The show was great and it was so fun to be there with Jeremy, Renee, and Zach. I got some great pictures from the show and here they are:

Josh makes a pretty Lady :)



Me with the pretty lady!



Mmmm... So sexy! Haha



And Renee with "Edna"



Sayrah! :) what a cute, mean mommy!


And now Dude looks like a dude again! :)



After the show, we went to Chili's with almost everyone else from the Panola Playhouse and Josh! (Sarah could not come with us unfortunately :( ) We had a great time and got some good foo and headed back to Cleveland to go to sleep! We are beat! (but we loved every minute of it) All in all an awesome night filled with awesome friends. That's about it for now!

Breaking News Update :)

Ha. Just kidding. But news none the less! I have not bitten my nails since last Friday! :) and I painted then for the first time in months yesterday! So here is the "Breaking News Update" photo for my nail biting progress.


Pretty good for about 7 days and I even had to clip the scraggly ends some at first! :) I'm sure by next week the results will be much more impressive. :)

Other than that, we, Megan and I, finished out stopmotion video for class Monday and viewed it on the cheaper projector Wednesday. We get to view it again today on the MUCH better projector. I'm pretty proud of it seeing as it is my first one. I might try to upload it to YouTube today. I can't wait to make more and to start working on my Wedding Save the Date Stopmotion! :) I think it is going to be pretty cute and fun, not to mention unique. :)

Also this week, we went down town to cotton row for Digital Photo, and took Night Photos for fun! One of my favorite things. I would have had a lot more fun, however, if my camera wasn't messed up so that I had to turn it off and back on after EVERY photo. It gets kind of annoying, considering I took close to 100 photos. But, I can't get a new camera right now, so I'll have to wait until after school is done and the wedding is done.

Well, that's about all for this week and today so far but I'll probably be writing again later because we are going to see Hairspray tonight at the Panola Playhouse! :) can't wait.

Stop Biting Me!

No. No one is biting me! It's me. Biting my nails. So today marks the official start of me trying to quit that. This is how bad my nails currently look.


I know! Pretty sad..... So I am going to try this stuff recommended to me by someone and see if it will work. So far so good. The stuff is nasty and I can taste it if I even put my finger near my mouth to eat, so especially if I went to bite a nail! :/ so I'm hoping this will work! I'll keep you posted with a weekly update picture so i can compare how my nails are coming along! So NEXT FRIDAY I will probably have a little bit of nail (maybe not because they are in such bad shape, but we shall see)

Well, that's really all I have to say for right now!

I Can Walk! It's A Miracle! (Sorta)

Okay. So, it's not a miracle, but I feel like it is! After 3 weeks I can almost walk halfway normal. I know what you are thinking. "Big Deal!?"... Well, yes! It is quite the big deal to me. I was so tired of hobbling on crutches or hopping around on one foot. I am just glad to be able to hobble on my own 2 feet again. Even if it's not totally back to normal!

Anyway, on another note, I have been working on all kinds of art things!

Such As:

This Mandala for 2D II





And Learning to "coil" weave in that class since I got done early!





I am always down to learn new crafts, so I was super excited when Mrs. Pat offered to teach me! I've also been working my butt off on this stopmotion movie that I am hopefully about to be done with! :) I am going in to work on the finishing work of it today with my partner Megan! ;)

Well, That's about it for what's been going on with me! I'll try to write more often! But, That's all for now!

Time Heals (the foot)

:) haha get it! Heals=Foot! :) I am so witty!

Anyway, my foot is feeling better and better. I think by next week I might be able to walk normal-ish. It would probably feel a lot better if I hadn't nailed my self in the hurt foot with the other foot in the night. :/ oh well. At least it is healing!

Well, that's it for now!

More later!
