Cherish the Angel who arose today



♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
This video is a telethon for Doernbecers Hospitial

At the moment i do not have time to write my grandma is going to pick me up soon, I posted this video to spread the awareness of childhood cancer, Boey was one of the angels who got to meet God at an early age. So please spread this video around.

They Byers Family: I send all my prayers and whishes to you. Stay strong.

So far i have known or heard of several people who have passed that are either in my family of close by: My auntie K, Grandpa, Boey, Trey Foote.

Make a Wish foundation is a foundation of my hcoice that i save up my own spare change and in time when my bowl of change gets full i will donate it. I encourage you all to pick a charity that is dear to your heart. Help save a life.
SMILE and HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Love,
&harts;Amanda♥

PS: I dedicate this to Boey, i made this for you.

"Cherish the angel who arose today, she traveled many battles that came her way, Confident was her middle name, Defeat came in last place. Where ever she was you could not see the pain that was hidden underneath her face. A radiant smile shines her personality." -Amanda

PSS
Thats all i could think of for right now, sometime or later i will add on to what i wrote for boey. Sometimes it takes me a while to gather my thoughts and ideas for a special person.
*Hope your enjoying heaven boey. What is it like up there? i can't wait to meet you someday. "

Prayer: "Dear God,
Please keep the Byer family strong and one. Comfort them when they feel they have no control. Show them the lighted pathway that will lead them out of the tunnels they fall into every now and then. Remind them that Boey (your angel) is still with them, she is just unseen. My personal belief is the things you don't see are the most believeable. I also agree that seeing is believing. In your name i praise, Amen."
&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥

So i am just going to add mroe to what i posted earlier today, Um, as of now i am over @ my nonni's house (My grandma) and i am sleeping over. Her computer is sooooooo awesome. it has windows vista, even i don't have that... lol. i like it. Tonight we watched a movie called "Georgia Rule" it was very different than i thought it would be, overall it was a good movie even with all the messed up things that were happening. it was rated R. wow- thats a big wow for me lol, i like never watch those kind of movies. it was okay with my mom though because one night we wanted to watch that movie but our dish ( i recomend not getting dish, i personally don't like it) would not let us see the movie. Bummer huh? so i finally got a chance to watch it. Today i had another 1st i went to IKEA, pretty cool place. its like never ending though. I think i would have enjoyed it more if there were less people. It was majorly crowded. But i only think it was because christmas was a few days ago... and people have money and gift cards to spend. Tomorrow nonni and I are going to sew my PJ's we have been meaniong t sew for the past months and hem a pair of pants. I was going to go to a blazer game with dad tomorrow, but i don't know if he got the tickets yet... he was not feeling that well. We all seem like a run down train. (First thing that came to mind) Plus the weather is sooooooooooo nasty. yuckie, i do not like the rain. That is why i need to live somewhere warm. I figured going to college some place warm will be nice. Well i should get off the computer, i did not bring my glasses either and its not good for my eyes, lol. so, thats all folks! TTFN- ta ta for now.

GOODNIGHT!

Love,

1 day till christmas eve 2 more days till CHRISTMAS

JUst a short post today, well for now at least, i am sure emily knows by now and has heard me say it in her comments, i am wearing fake nails on ( like the sticker thpe) and it is hard to type, so please excuse my typos and stuff.

Last night i went to a christmas party, it was fun, it was with our family... we took my noni also. we did a white elephant exchange, that was fun because i got to open up early christmas gifts, i got a James Taylor Christmas CD and a small piece of organic Dark choc., A $10 gift card to blockbuster and a $20 gift card to Freddys (Fred meyers). yeah thats all... oh wait i got SOCKS!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!! i love thm, i am wearing them right now, i got 2 very warm and fuzzy ones and just a normal pair of socks that have grips on the bottom of them. after that we (steven and I) watched REMEMBER THE TITIANS, very very very good movie, i recomend all of you to see it.

THIS MORNING, i woke up ( for the past 2 days i have woken up diagnol in my bed, lol....) i got ready to go to chuch, it was a christmas service, and then went to SUBWAY for lunch and now i am home. : ) Later tonight i get to go to nadenov ( a gymnastics place) and try to tumble i guess and have fun with some other cheer girls. I am having a pretty good week, i am happy i get 2 weekes off from school.

OH YEAH! so yesterday i took my 3rd drive for drivers ED ( highway and country driving) country is not that bad, the highway, i can't believe i did it. Its not that bad once you get going. i have never been past 40mph so it was a little adjustment.... :p so yeah i was proud of myself, i am really good at keeping my cool when it co0mes to stuff like that. Like last year the day we got out of school for christmas break i was comming home w/ my sisters sister (lol, Emily my friend, sarah is her older sister, she is also my friend) and she was not paying attention and she took her foot off the break and we started to roll foward, and i looked out the dash bord and was thinking in my head, okay....we moving? sarah had no idea, then emily and i looked at each other and were like "SARAH!" so we rear-ended this car, I was scared yet i did not cry ( i kinda wanted too) but i kept myself together, which i guess is good to have a strong holding at a early age, you never know what will come of you or anyone else. YOu always have to be ready for the un expected. okay............... i can never wrtie a short blog, well this is good for me.... i will write more later if i feel like it.
This picture was last year, it snowed, its snowed a little this year too, but not enough to stick. : (
Love ya,
Amanda
\
I remembered 1 last thing, here is my brothers and i plan for christmas morning,
Wake up early around 7 ish-
go downstairs and grab stockings
bring them upstairs
watch Elf ( kills time, waiting for our parents to get up)
then once we finished the movie
probally open presents
and not care about breakfast

Christmas eve tradition: I read the Polar Express every year then watch the movie. which reminds me i have to find the book. uh-oh



okay thats all now. i'm serious, i am tired of the comp. now i need to do something pro-active.lol.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE'S eve

Christmas/Cheer Information

First off 5 MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(okay, few, got that out of my system. lol, its almost here. I love the holidays! MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!)


Cheer Pract Today:(12/20/07)
I tried 2 new stunts, i am the flyer, and i did a twist up, which is where i stand on the opposite side everyone else does and then i turn 180 degrees and i end up right where i would normally be in a prep.
Another stunt i did was ummmm, you go up in a normal prep. and then i put all my weight onto my right foot and pulled my left foot up by my knee. ( its like balancing on one foot) after i was stable i hitched ( put my toe on this other girls leg, who was in a stunt that was smaller in mine that was infront of me.) It was a pyramid so we are not allowed to put any weight on the other flyers, otherwise its illegal.

-I am guessing i ma confusing you all with these terms, and its mroe a visual thing, This girl on my team, Carley, took a picture of what it looked like, so maybe i can get it form her and then piost it, only in the picture i am not smiling, i look silly. But i would rather look silly then not be stable so yeah. As much as i did not want to pract. It was good.

Like, yesterday i think, i had my first competition pract. we learned 4 eight counts of the dance it was cute. A while ago when i was still @ VCA i was close to my round-off back-handspring, but then i lost it because i have not tumbled since. And coach asked me "well do you think you can get it?" and i said maybe.... i honestly don't know if we have the money for me to do something extra like that.... so yeah. There is tumbling @ Nadeonov every weekend for $7 so i could work on it then, but the onl hard thing is that in High School Cheer its hard to tumble on a non spring floor, honestly my coach knows nothing about cheer. shes never cheered before.

WOW- i have rampaged (sorry em' i think i used your word, lol. I like it. *Tee-hee*)
Well on a different subject my dad brought me up a yummmmmmmy cookie., He asked me if i wanted milk but i said no. WHAT WAS I THINKING. i neeeeeeeeeeed waaaaaaaaaaateeeeeeeer lol. oh wait i mean milllllllllllllllllllllllk. i thought i had my wa-wa up with me.

Yesterday our whole choir ( A Capella) went to ALKI ( The middle School) and sang the whole day for the classes. idk what my point was for telling you that. anyways........ i'll be right back.

*MILK BREAK*

Okay, i remmebered what i was going to say, in choir this whole week we have been doing Secret santa. It's been fun, but i keep forgetting.... so i am having my mom get something for her tonight.

I am excited i might get to see Morgan and Maddy christmas Break they come down every year to see their mom in seattle. So yeah. its nice, they have friends here too. Burrrrrrrr its cold inside.

What are you all doing for christmas? i am just staying home. Do you have a christmas tree yet? I think this year is like the first out of like years we have taken a family picture.

I talked to my cousin Holly the other day. It was so nice. I miss her, i have a baby cousin names Maile (miley- american way. Maile-Hawaiian way. lol )

I LOVE THIS SONG: Love Song- Sarah Bareilles

Heres a pic. that really had to do with nothing w/ all my subjects i talked about but i love this. It was last time my Auntie Yolie (lives in Hawaii, shes a flight attendant, so we only get to see her for a couple of hours but its nice) and it was @ Beaches with my momma. I loved my hair that day, its like scrunched. I did that recently, it looked decent, i am not used to seeing it that way. Sometimes if i don't feel like doing anything to my hair it will naturally dry curly, its either cute or all over the place. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo tired, i am making a cd for my secret santa, while its burning i am going to brush my teeth then got to bed. I love you gues.

Emily- Have a great christmas, hopefully we can talk, are you going anywhere? let me know so i can call ya! Maybe on christmas we can show each other what we got. that would be fun.....
XOXOXOXOXO

Love Always,
Amanda Panda Mandy Moo! lol. "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT"-Santa Claus
I watched Winnie the Pooh christmas the other night tigger calls him santie claus, its cute.

BOOM!

Holy smokes, i had no idea i had not written a blog in so long. Wow. I am guessing there will be a lot of stuff to catch up on...for those who read my blogs. lol.
At this moment there is not much to say.
I stayed home from school today just because i
had like a bad feeling thats hard to discribe. Well
One, i am getting sick. There is something going around.

Two:(This might be hard to understand, its an emotion that is almost un-explainable)

Last night i told my mom i was freaking out becaue sometimes i don't feel real. I don't understand how i can physically walk, see, hear and do all kinds of things. Like i went for a run last night and i decided to go a different way and as i was running i just wanted to cry, ( i did not) i pushed through and kept running. I don't get that way very often its just every now and then i do. So i cried last night talking to my mom about it and we both decided we wanted to find someone that can help me not feel that way when i do. And i need to be more happy with myself because i love to please others and do thigns for them. So i think for that matter and pleasing myself i want to start up piano again, i have not done it since the end of the last school year. I miss it.

A little earlier yesterdya i went to this place called Cyramics By You and i painted a piggy bank for my new baby cousin who is going to be one year old. It was fun. I realized ho much a life art. I enjoyed painting. I also life photography,dancing(even though thats not art i still like it), poetry and way way more. So mu Uncle he does these realy cool paintings ( he is a awesome artist) and what he does is he puts a dab of paint on a canvas ( wood like) and he takes like a paint chizel and spreads it arond. Then he mixes different colors in with all kinds of ways it so cool. he said normally when he starts he has not idea what he will come out with!

Ummm, lets see, what else. OH YEAH! THANKSGIVING.

THANKSGIVING was fun. i enjoyed all the yummy food. and what was even better the next day is that we got to have Turkey enchiladas. WOW those were yummy. It was weird not having my grandpa here with us. ( he passed away this year,) but we made the best of it and we had a good time it was just the 4 of us my grandma (nonni) and my uncle (tim). Food is good.

On the day after thanksgiving there are HUGE EARLY SALES everywhere, we did nto want to go to any sale. none of them had stuff we had to have. We went to fred myers and then picked up kendall. We had fun hanging out. and then later that night Danica came over, we have a lot of fun together. She is in 9th grade. ( i am in 10th). We were being silly, theres nothing to explain without pictures. well i could it just would not make sense.

I wrote another poem the other night. i titled it "The Secret of Life" once i type it i will add it on here. Someday i want to publish my own book of all my poems. Which would be like over 150 i am guessing.

Emily i looked on your blog and went to that freerice.com its fun i am still doing it right now only i am stuck on on... Here it is
Over Power:
Subdue
create
Decieve
Go Near
I asked my mom and she did not know, for one thing its not an obvious one. my guess is go near just becaue its the odd one out. let me go check..... I was WRONG it meant SUBDUE. i havedonated 180 grains of rice. Mom mentioned it would not be fun to be the person to count all thosee grains of rice.

A couple if weeks ago i went over to my papas house ( he's my uncle) and for the longest time he wanted me to watch a movie with him and i never had time so funally on day i did it. It was a good movie. I love him. hes funny. Annie grannie ( my aunt, his wife) got us burgerville for dinner I had a bacon cheese burger and i forgot to tell her i liked the Jr. size because its a decent size. Well i sure got my share of a burger it was HUGE!!!!!!! and then with that we had fries and she made us a milkshake. It was cool we got to eat dinner while watching T.V. ( they had tv dinner trays). I don't think i have ever ate that much in my life. I think this is good enough for now i am going to stop and get some lunch. YUMMY! bye!

Love Always,
Amanda
*Its 12:12 how weird. lol* Well that was a while ago somehow it got put down here and it is really right now, as i am typing 12:30 PM

Hope everyone has a good day! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOxoxoxoxxoxoxoXOXOXOXo BYE!

No exciting info+ me being bored+Pictures=a blog that has not title for itself! *(Tee-Hee)*

I was going to write a post the other day but i did not want to and now i forgot what i was going to say..... Bummer.
*Yeah i really have no thoughts in my head right now. If you were to look at my brain there would be a monkey just sitting there eating a banana with no life.....

* I finished Drivers ED! When i took my final the first time i did not pass. I missed 23 and we were only allowed to miss 20. so i took it like a week later and studied for it and i passed only missing 18. I think. I learned that we can also take our written state test 2 months before we turn 16 so on the day we turn 16 we can get our license!! THinking about that drive kinda makes me nervous.

*OOOOOOOO GOOD NEWS! I went to my TMJ appt. yesterday and i will NOT need physical therapy! YAY! GO ME! the first time i had a appt. i could open my jaw to 40. yesterday i opened it to 47! ( IDK what it is measured in) so i think he said i could get top braces and still have my splint in.

I think i am going to load some pictures on my computer and post some later. How does that sound? Well i will talk to ya'll soon. lol.

Emily- If you read this later would you want to talk on IM tonight? Or if you like you could call me. I don't know if i am allowed to call you. I don't know if i used my minutes this month or not....? um, yeah. Hope you day is going well. RIght now its 4:08 AM your time. so i will deff. not call you then. I hope you get this today. That would be cool. If you did IM me and i did not respond i am probally downstairs veggin(V-edge-ing) at the T.V. so yeah. Or i would be at office depot buying a mic. I am still in my PJ's. haha.




LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Amanda Elizabeth Howsley


OKay so i said i would add more later and now i am. It is 2:38 right now. One thing i did the other day was straighten my brothers hair. He's funny. When he was little he always wanted me to paint his nails. What would i do without him?
<----------------------------Heres a picture: *So how is everybody? OMG i saw the coolest and cutest sign by this neighborhood my uncle used to live in. This is what the Stop Sign read. ITs so AMAZINGLY true. lol. and then we saw a blue harron. Pretty sweet huh?
I wish i could just post the pictures whereever i wanted them, It gives you the choices of center, left, right, or none. I am guessing i could do none but idk....
Me at Color WAR! If you diddint guess my color is orange: That is Kendall and ME in the stands of our gym. Heres a picture of my and my neighbors kitty, he's so adorable. His name is Lincon (i don't know how they spell it though)
Me and my brother when we were little:Awwww were as cute as a button.lol.
Here is a picture of me with my choir jwelry. Adn no my ears are not pierced, they are clip on, but those earings really hurt. i have never had clip on earings hurt that bad before. If i touch my ear lobe it still aches a little. And my concert was a while ago.... Here is my School picture. I love it. Its not the best lighting on it but at least you can see it....

Well is that a overload or what? Well i gotta go take a shower....


Luv ya
Amanda panda mandy moo.


its me again for a 3rd time. lolOKay..... i found some more pictures! YAY! This was taken out of my bedroom window. pretty huh? Heres a picture of the Justin Timberlake Tour Bus: That was the greatest concert ever! I did not remeber if i blogged about that or not so i put it in. Some of these are all really pointless pictures, now you can understand how bored and tired i am, lol. i am goign to go and watch some T.V. plus get something healthy to eat so i get better soon.

Earlier before i went to take a nap( i did not want to i can't stand feeling like a blob and not being able to do anything, not like i really do anything very often....i am very low key. but she said that we would have fun tonight and that there is some kind of surprise either tongnight or tomorrow. i can't figure it out. that annoys me too when someone says its a surprise before the surprise comes. i like the surprise to be the moment. that is when its a true surprise......lol i don't knwo what i am saying. ttyl. bye bye!

Faith Hill's hair color on me??? yes or no?

You know who i really admire. FAITH HILL. She is such a talented woman. i really would love to meet her. I watched a thing on TV about her on CMT( Country Music Television) and then a small concert of her. She is so strong and admire that. She is my roll model. I switch from time to time, depending on what my mood is and where i am at in my life. I deciede i want to dye my hair the almost same color as it was when she recorded her fireflies album. This is a picture of the concert i watched on TV:
Okay so yeah. Can you see the hair? I am multi-tasking right now, i am looking for pictures of her with her dark hair. I love listening to her music its so calming.

Okay well i found some i guess, you tell me which one you like. They are mostly the same. Oh a picture of me now might be good so you can compare. lol, or you can just look at the one below. i don't care.


Me NOW: It is hard to find a picture with my hair down, I wanted you to see the high lights i have. Bummer, oh well . That was Lauren(neighbor) and I at the Justin Timberlake Concert!!!

So what do you think?

You tell me.



GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!



Love Always and Forever,
♥Amanda♥

PS
EIMLY- mom says i can call you tonight. maybe we can try out the webcam. that would be awesome. love you. I will call you soon.

Friday, September 28, 2007

um,,,,,,,yeah

SCHOOL:
Okay, well its the 4th week ( i was going to say month... i wish then it would be winter break!) of school and it has been going so-so. its hard to get back into the swing of things, I have an EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pre-AP history teacher. but all my other teachers are awesome. I am cheering for our schools JV team! its kinda fun.
I have had only a couple break downs so far. but that particular day when i felt like i was going mad and being pulled a million directions i went for a run and all was good after that. I was more calm.

CHeer:
* I am enjoying cheer a lot. i love the girls but my coach is really bugging me.
Things that she does that annoy me
-REALLY critical ( writes down things on a HUGE (over exadurating) note pad when and while were cheering.)
-Does not know what she is doing
-NEVER IN HER LIFE has she cheered (she only watched her daughter cheer, it makes a huge difference!)
-She thinks trying new things and stunts will be a *snap* she has no idea how hard it is to adjust.
*She is thinking about a comptition team, but i would not do it if she was the coach. I miss competiton cheer.
Thats all on that.

DRIVERS ED:
Drivers ED was fun in the beginning, its a lot to do with school now that i am getting more HW. I had my first drive today with my instructor. I did GOOD! (in my opinion i did) I have not driven on a main road yet because i was scared, and there is a BIG hill by my house i did not want to go up or down but now i understand how to drive it. Hmmmm, um i am almost done with it. it finished oct. 9th but i have to make up 2 classes because i was gone cheering at my football games.

SHOCKING NEWS:

So i was in bed one night, and my mom comes in my room and shes like " I'm sorry to wake you but you gotta see this. Neil is on the news, he was arrested." (For those of you who have no idea who he is, he was my old cheer coach @ VCA. i am so glad i left when i did.) He is such a rotten guy. He lied to a lot of people and tricked us into believing that he was the right guy to take over VCA. I trusted him in stunting and tumbling.....and now it just makes me sick! He was arrseted for sexual assult (basically he "did it" with a girl who was 16, most likely a cheerleader @ VCA, at his house. ( that did not surprise me too much, i could kinda guess who it was but then again maybe those people left)
One day durring pract. nobody was hitting their stunts and he started cussing us out. After that it was the end for me Some nights i would go home crying....becuase of how catty the girls were. So my mom typed him an e-mail telling him i quit, and he replied that her understood and he would call me and apoligize several days later. Days became weeks and weeks became months. No reply. i went to the gym to pick up my stuff and he was all cheerful and gave me a hug. ( i was still mad @ him, all i wanted was an apology.) I really wanted to do a back-handspring there too. I was going to ask him to spot me but i thought that was wrong to ask so i did not. i wrote him a letter telling him more about how mad i was at him, ( and blah, blah, blah) and asked for an apology and till this day i have never gotten on. I still hold it to him.
I also saw him when i was working at a competition once, he gave me a hug and pretended like nothing ever happened.
Ewwwww, now that i think about it, if he gave me a hug i really hope he did not like me, that is sickning. OKAY i am DISCUSTED (can't spell) about this topic so lets have a new one shall we?

New topic:
asklfjdsal;goi;ro;sadhg;aoigjhreairjeaoigjroegjoigjoagjoargjrgjogj

TA-DaH! i really have no idea on what to say. i was going to post a pic. but i am on my moms side of the computer so it will not show me the pix visually, it only shows me the name,

Funny Phone Call:
SO a long time ago i suscribed on rascalflatts.com to get a phone call on the day theirNEW CD came out. so the time i chose was about 9ish. i did not answer my phone so i checked my voicemail later, and i was so scared, i thought it was some creepy person. later on i figured out it was a voice over of them.

Sorry that was a short story, gotta go eat dinner!


LOVE YA'LL!

SUMMER LOAD DOWN-DOWN LOAD : )

SO wow its been forever since i have signed on to my blog, my # 1 reason was because it would not let me sign in so todya i just changed my password. and i have so much that i have done abd to tell you about, its insane.

SUMMER:
-TEXAS
-BEND/MEDFORD
-CHEER
-UO VS UH
-DRIVERS ED
-SCHOOL IN 2 DAYS


Texas:
Texas is one of the best things that happened to me this summer, it was nice to see the girls faces again. we went to the mall, swimming, hung out witht their neighbors, went out to the rainforest cafe for my birthday dinner, i watched one of their gymnastic practices, went to church. all kinds of things. The 3 of us slept together every night. The first day i got there they asked if they could sleep with me and from then on we just all slept together. I was normally in the middle. I love the weather there, i want to live there, i thought it would be cool if i go to college there i could stop in and say hi to them when i wanted too. i am hoping the girls have a gymnastic comepetition up in washington i want to see them again and i hope i can go again next sumer. Last time when i was there Mark was gone, and my plane left really early so the girls had to sleep over at the neighbors house and it was just jeanene and I. I cried my self to sleep that night. But this time, i was still really sad, i cired and i gave the girls a hug and then maddy deicded she wanted one more and gave me a hug, and when she did she said " Ewwww, its all wet on you. what is it?" ( i was crying) i told her they were tears and then morgan turned around and then both were just there for me, we told each other stories and adventually fell asleep. That morning was hard to say goodbye, (they go to come to the airport with me tho) and when we were approaching the airport i started to cry and jeanene held my hand the rest of the way and then morgan stared crying too and i held her hand. we have a very very very big bond. i am 6 years older than morgan i think and about 7-9 years older than maddy. i can't remember. : ) before i boarded the plane i was crying and maddys like you can't cry. your not allowed. lol. and then before i walked into the portal thing i waved goodbye (while biting my lip so i would not make it worse for them) and cried really hard around the corner. Its always priceless to see them, honestly i don't care how much it would cost, if i can do it i will.

BEND/MEDFORD-
Bend was an okay trip mom and I had a lot of conflicts, and i was not a happy person. It got better as we got to medford. We saw our friends Bruce and Kathy, Emily and Kaitlyn. So that was really cool and we watched HSM 2 over there!!!!

CHEER-
Cheer has been going good, we have had to learn a lot of cheers. Our first football game to cheer at is on the 1st day of school. we have to wear our uniforms on the first day, i was really bummed when i found that out but still. its all good. GO SHS. We had a bonding day with our coach at Lake Merwin and we went boating, intubing and just had fun, after that the girls in my car all went to kendalls house to go swimming and then we all decided the 6 of us wanted to go out to dinner so we did at applebees and when we were paying it was really hard to figure out how to pay it all, it took us a long long time. and then a few pract later i learned about football. lol

UO VS UH-
yesterday we (Family and my friend Danica) went to the Oregon Duck Gave VS Houston. it was a lot of fun, and very very hot. out car has no air conditioning. YAY! lol, just kidding its like the worst when your traveling in heat. so on the way home there was a lot of traffic so we just pumped up the music and danced.

DRIVERS ED-
I started that i think last week, i will have it every MON,TUE & WED 6-8 starting sept 10th and it will end in october. i am really excited, also a little scared about driving, but i have a feeling it will turn out just fine. : - )

SCHOOL STARTS IN 2 DAYS-

TEXAS IN 2 WEEKS

I am so excited to go to texas. I am going to give the girls a call today and then give them a call befoe i leave. I love them to death. I was thinking about college and hopefully when i am on break i could see them. Because i think it would be cool to see them every summer. that would be great. I miss the girls. I feel home with them and i am sad sometimes i don't get to see the grow up. They mean more than i can explain to me and i am sure they already know that. Today is July 15 2007 and i leave July 29 2007. I'm EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well just wanted to let ya'll know about that



CHEER CAMP!

It was so fun and hot. It was at WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY! We stayed in the Dorm area called Mathes ( funny, my neighbors met there and the husband stayed in that same dorm....lil freaky huh?) Kendall and I were room mates. We had a view of the water side. It was beautiful. They had the YUMMIEST FOOD there, it was a little salty but otherwise it was awesome. Our team bonded a whole bunch. A quick funny story so like everytime Kendall and I were in our Dorm room so i would be changing and somebody would always knock on the door. It was so funny and yet a lil annoying. I am glad we always locked our door. NCA was a great camp to go to. I do like Pac West though. NCA taught stuff really fast. I learned how to fly, we learned cool dances, techniques and little sily things that would keep us on our toes when we were dead tired. We woke up about 6:30 Breakfast was from 7-8 we had to be there at the field at 9 ( the field was a long walk!) I am a little sore. And i only fell once and it was a very soft landing. They all caught me. We have a new JV team coach. and this was really like her first time meeting her. She is so sweet. I feel like i have known her for a long time she clicked with all of us really well. I was sad Mrs.Botnen was not oging to coach us anymore but thats ok, i will have her when i am on varsity! and i have her for my advisory class too!


Love ya!

Hannah Montana

Hannah Montana Doll 1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hannah Montana Doll 2


I found a random website that has Hannah Montana Doll thing-e's
Link For Miley Cyrus Doll Maker:
http://www.cartoondollemporium.com/mileycyrus.html#14

If you want Hannah Montana go to the bottom of the page and click her! :)

Which One do you like better let me know? okay?hahacually it really does not matter..... I am bored and refuse to go to bed. well not really. I think i am gonna go read my book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" By Sean Covey ( i would underline but there is no underline button! haha) goodnight! I reccomend this book from any girl 13 and up, I have really enjoyed it, there are inspiring quotes, good choice of words easy to follow, concepts that seem to be hard are simplified. I like it. But you have to read it for yourself.

HAVE A GREAT 4th of July
* I ummmm now i forgot, I am eating a Peanut Butter Twix and it is not as good as the origional.
Emily: I will call you on MY 4th of July your JUly 5th! Okay? maybe arround ummm, i don't know, but i will!!!

*SO for cheer our fundraiser is to hold signs for fire work stands and I had really bad cramps and a head ache that dya before i went to do the job (4 hours,=team gets paid=NOT FUN!) we could listen to our ipod and stuff but still, i did not like it. I felt really sick and (I was in the sun for a while) so i told the guy next to me, ( i have no idea who he was) and I asked him where the guy was(the "GUY" was the man who was encharge and checking on everyone, I ended up putting the sign down (might I add it was very heavy) and i kept blinking and it was black, I was scared..... + i felt like yuckie so i layed down kinda using the sign as a pillow... and the "GUY" asked the kid next to me and hes like "What is she doing?" he pulls up more in his car and stops, And he was really PISSED OFF because I was laying on the sign so he took me in the car and i had my dad pick me up, when i got to the main place they were not even comforting. Shes like "YOU SHOULD NOT BE LAYING ON THE SIGN! IT MAKES US LOOK BAD!" I was truely sorry, but don't you think if you were me or they were me they & you might have done the same thing? So the thing is I have to work there tomarrow and the 4th from 10-2 so i am not looking foward to that! I was really dehyprated(did i spell that correctly?) so i slept for a long time that day, ate dinner, went to the mini mart with lauren (my headache kept getting worse) and we watched HSM( High School Musical) I can not wait for HSM2 its gonna be sweet!

Somedays do you ever feel like this?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR->


*Tee-hee*



Okay well i am going to go to bed, and hopefully tomarrow i wwill not feel icky again! Talk to yall later. BYE!
GOODNIGHT!

*Cheer+Stunt+Flyer=Me=Ahhhhh=YAY=Uh OH!

Boyrfiend Story:

So i have gone out with Andrew for a little over a month. He is a very sweet guy. I like him as a friend. We went and saw Pirates of the Carribean At Worlds End with my parents it was soooo good! we held hands but thats it. I would not let him put his arm around me. He was my first boyfirend but he has had a girlfriend before so maybe its different for him. I don't know. I knew he really really liked me. So for our 1 month annaversary he got me a diamond necklace to match my ring. Even before that day i was compensating weather to stay with him or not, That only made it harder on me. So one day ( maybe a week ago) we just got out of 5th per. and was going to 6th, he gave me a hug and kissed me on the head. And then we both went to our 6th period classes. Later he txted me and we were chatting and stuff, pointless stuff. haha. and he said
"Can I ask you a Question"
Me- "Sure... is it like a in person question? on phone question? or on txt?"
andrew- "Was it ok when i kissed you on the head today?"
I called him and told him how i felt, i was crying because i felt bad for him. I was not sad about the break-up. So i walked down to the end of my neighborhood and sat by the elementary kids bus stop. My neighbor drove by and asked why i was sitting down here. I kinda lied and said i needed to get out of the house even though i was the only one home. so then my other neighbor comes walking out and askes me
"Why are you here?"
" I was crying"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'll be fine."
I did not tell may neighbors what happened but it always feels good to be around them because you know they care a whole bunch! So its been a little weird between andrew and I but we decided that we will be good friends and i can keep the necklace as a symbol of our friendship.
Riley was very pleased i am not going out with him.


Schools Out In One Week Story:
School is out in 1 more week. We have finals on the last 2 days (plus the last two days are 2 hr. early releases.) I am almost a sophmore! and Mr.Little (like the coolest principal in the world) is not going to be there next year. How sad!


I Am Going To Texas Story:
I am going to Texas. I am very excited to see The Haleys again. I love them so much! I am going there on my birthday. I am leaving July 29th at 6 and arrive there around 12. How early is that. i will have to get up like i did for Disneyland wich was like 3 AM. YIKES!!!!!!! Its a 4hr flight but it always seems sooooooo much longer.

My Brother Got Baptized Story:
Today we went to church. We have not been in a really really long time. or at least i have not. My brother got baptized. It was not like a special caremony, but i think they do it every sunday. I personally think he should have waited until he understood more but i can not stop him from his belief.

Today Is Fathers Day Story:
Today is Fathers Day! We just hanged around the house, cleaned and had a nice dinner all together outside. I am excited for the summer because we can do that more often. My daddy did not even want German Choc. Cake, and that is his favorite. But he had a good day! He said "Everyday is Fathers Day!"

Cheer+Stunt+Flyer=Me=Ahhhhh=YAY=Uh OH! Story:
For cheerleading I am the shortest one on my team. By the way i made JV ( i really wanted varsity but i have 3 more years to make Varsity. Only 1 freshman got on) I am going to be a flyer. The only time i have flown was 4 years ago when my neighbor owned VCA. i only dad a Prep and came down off hands. I never cradled. So i am a little scared about it but i think all in all it will be okay!

Piano Recital Story:
I had my piano recital on saturday! It went very well, my piano teacher, Janet said i looked very calm. And i felt calm too. Maybe its my thing. i don't know. I think for my first recital i did very well.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Concert Story:
So as a early birthday present lauren and nadine gave me a ticket to go see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. OH MY GOSH! that was so amazing. i was very blessed. the tickets were free because they were like from nadines work. so yeah. i wanted to go to that concert and go see Josh Goban. I don't know when he comes but he is very very good! OH MY GOSH! Faith Hill dyed her hair like all blonde, she looks better darker. She also said out of all the places shes been to she wants to live on 23rd St. in portland (thats where kitchen kaboodle, Peir 1 and other cool stores are) Faith said she would live there and we could all come visit her. HOw cool would that be?

Kendalls Birthday Story:
Kendalls birthday was friday and she had a pool party. it was so much fun and so nice. I had a good time. There were a lot of nice girls there. We swam for like 5 hours, Maybe more! It was AWESOME!!!!!


*BIG HEAVY SIGH!* i think everything is over now. I should take a shower and go to bed. Then i am going to eat my Almond Joy, maybe I'll eat it now. It sounds good! YUMMY!

GOODNIGHT!

Love,
Amanda

May -9th and 10th

blog...............blog......blog...blog...blog....( THAT Almost spells bologna, B-O-L-O-G-N-A) haha.

*Yesterday i played with Kylie and Torrie( i think that's how you spell his name) and then Joe and Riley came out. We had a fun time, we played Baseball, Jump Rope, Chalk, and looked for bugs. Riley found a ladybug and name it Rose. I found a potato bug and names it Roley. Kylie found a potato bug too and named him Poley. ( we had a bug catcher, thing) It was fun.

**I wish i could be a kid again and enjoy the little things in life. They seem to be happy no matter what. Me i am on the verge of walking through a door. Where i stand i am still a kid and when i open the door i enter a world where all this responsibility comes at me.

***Because i am sick last night ( just have a stuffy nose and cough) so i had a vaporizer and it was really cold (PS i am a very cold blooded person) i had on long pants, a long sleeve shirt and a t shirt over that. and plus like 5 blankets. I woke up at 3 A.M because i was hot, i looked at my window and it was all steamy. I was dying in my layers so i wore a tank top and shorts, went downstairs to get a drink of water and came back up, trying not to wake anyone up. and the i wake up for school at 5:50 AM and i was so cold, i crawled back in my covers and fell asleep. I woke up 10' till 7. I was so grouchy. I am mad when i am late. my day turned out okay....I had to Re-Take a math test that i got a C- on.... i think i did much better. : ) Then i came home and learned the rest of the signs for my ASL song presentation tomorrow. I am doing "Wish For You" By Faith Hill Very pretty and slow song, last time i did "Life Is A Highway" By Rascal Flatts ( very very fast song) anyways..... so after i learned the rest of the signs for my song, i went to help Brandie with her Silver Award Project for Girl Scouts. She had a Cheer Camp, sadly i had to do river cheers but i had fun and now I am home typing this. Its 9:58 PM

****I told Riley i had a boyfriend, She likes to joke about it when I see her. Its almost freaky but awesome at the same time, when i told her she seemed pretty surprised, she said " Thats not like you to have a boyfriend" and i think i agree. Maybe i don't need a boyfriend right now, i am very busy with who knows what.... things pop up now and then. Riley and I have known each other for almost 2 1/2 years i think, they have lived here 3.

*****I am tired, are you? Well i guess it depends on weather your reading this at night or day, but you could be tired any time of the day. So basically that was a trick question. CHEER TRYOUTS ARE NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so excited, i am not nervous YET.... but its all good.

******I got so mad the other day When you go to Disneyland they give you this card that they scan and you can see your pictures online, well it expres after 30 days and that had the pictures with me and the princesses and the one of our family by the castle at night. how sad....... i am going to see the princesses again. they are awesome! Cinderella is my favorite.I think i am going to sign my song one more time then go to bed. well that workd out, my dad told me to go to bed. GOODNIGHT Everybody.

spring break to now!

i went to DISNEYLAND for spring break! it was so cool. i got to meet all the charachters. My favorite was meeting the princesses, that was so cool, CINDERLLA was my favorite.DISNEYLAND IS A MAGICAL PLACE! We took a shuttle to Disneyland and on the way there a little girl was about 3 and she kept saying "EVERYBODAY HAPPY TODAY!" she was so cute, her mom was shaking her head. i did not go on many rides my favorite rides were:
Pirates of the Carribean
Haunted Mansion
Grizzly adventure(water ride)
TALKED TO CRUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from FINDING NEMO~

I also got to see the sifontes, Juan,Deborah, Johnny, Scottie, Matthew & Steven. I had so much fun, Steven is into choir so much, he play the piano and he taught me songs and sometimes he would play them and i would sing for him. it was so sweet. i think he is in 1st grade. I had a ton of fun.


RECENTLY:
This last weekend we had a Girl Scout sleepover, it was origionally going to be here but my mom felt sick so we did it at emilys house, only i came late because i was babysitting Garin and Garrett. I came back Saturday aroud 3 o'clock, and we stopped and talked to JIm and Joe as we were driving home, they planted in a new tree(it looks pretty) and Joes like Riley was looking for you, she wanted to do the play. My mom told them i have been really tired and need to relax for a while and Jim was like well no worries the play can wait, Riley loves you. that makes me feel good when i know babysitting kinda pays off, i love to do it, i have fun, i can be a kid and act responsible at the same time, and they will mostly remember me for a while and hopefully for their whole life. so later that day i went and in the play i was the announcer and the teacher....The play was called 'TODLERS AT DAYCARE" Riley wrote it all by her self. it was cute. and later that night Kendall came over around 5:15 and we left at 6;30 with my Dad to go to a Blazer VS THE SEATTLE SONICS blazers won like 108 to 102. GOOD GAME! we got FREE CHALUPAS(even though i do not eat them) when we got back i found out my mom was going to california to go to my grandpas funerul and i was sad because i wanted to go, so i cried, and I am glad kendall was there. SHe makes me very happy and comforts me when i need it. Kendall if your reading the I LOVE YOU!!!! On sunday, we slept in until 10 ish i guess and decided to go to the Minute Mart and we got soda and chips. when we came home she was telling me for dancersize, she has to make a mix of songs (routine style) and preform infront of her class solo, with a backdrop. so we were trying to find music and i was going to help her, we kinda ran out of time. Later we played basketball outside and the ball was up in the air and i had my hands up ready to catch it and i jammed my right index finer. I was like OUCH!!! and i looked at it and it was a BIG PUFFBALL!!!!!!! i named it FAT LOUIE like from the princess diares, the cat is names F.L. it is still really stiff
TODAY:
Durring 3rd period, i freaked out, (i have not moved my finger most of the day so far or at least tried not to) and i am like OMG my fingers blue, and i told Laina and Bailey and Elise i was scared i might loose my cirulation in it, and Laina asked me if my finger was cold and i said no, so apparently i was not. I asked the teacher to go to the nurse, but she said no, just wait a while longer. so i did and knowing me i freak out easily so i got a pass and walked down to the office and the nurse was not there, so the lady gave me a bag to put ice in and i had to go get ice from the cafiteria. after a while the ice metled so i threw it away, i was still freaking out and on the way down to lunch i was going to ask Mr.Gray what to do, but he was not in his classroom and i was like darn. and i panicked and thought OH NO WHAT IF MY FINGER FALLS OFF! lol. but i saw him pass by and i yelled his name and asked him about it, i told him how i did it and stuff and he asked if i could bend it and i said yeah, so its not broken but either sprained or badly bruised. i think i sprained it. idk though i am not a doctor. i am not able to bend it fully and i can not straighten it. so it sucks.
-my cousin is not moving( i understand why) :( but i'm sad hopefully mpm and I can see her graduation.
-I talked to maddy and Jeanene today(morgan was gone at a movie) and maddy was a chatter box and being goofy as usually. i have not talked to them for a long long long time. Jeanene asked me if i had any plans for summer and i said no( and at that moment i got excited! i knew what she was going to ask) and she asked to talk to my mom, but my mom is sick so my mom said she will call jeanene back another time, and she asked me if i wanted to come down to texas again and i am like i would love that containing myslef! when i hung up the phone i was jumping with joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-last night i went to dinner with my dad and brother but before we left i was in a sad mood because of my grandpa and as we were driving to Beaches for dinner we stopped up by Uncle Dicks old house to look at the sunset over the river (the whole car ride i have been biting my lip holding it all in) and i started to cry. Its seems like all my family is gone. My grandpa, My auntie K.K.,Uncle Dick and its hard i don't want to believe it.
-sometimes it would be nice to get away. i love everyone in my family but every now and then i feel like i want to be alone or i wonder what it would be like with another family's that i know. i WOULD NOT i repeat WOULD NOT trade my family for anything. i just have that feeling sometime.
-the other day in 2nd period we were supposed to have a sub. but the person never showed so Mr.Silby showed up and when he came in the classroom hes like "EVERYBODY HANDS UP! FACE CENTER! TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE KEYBOARD"(he was being silly) as he took roll he was calling peoples names wrong and i am thinking in my head o great he will probally mis pronounce my last name wrong, and he did'nt. He asked my "Is your father an Attoney?" and i said no but my uncle was (Uncle Dick, he passed away) and hes like "What was his name?" i said "Richard" then My.Silbey was like "He sued me once." i GASPED biggly, so i waited until he was done and asked him if it was my cousin James because i thought it might have been recently because my uncles gone. but it was my uncle and he sued Mr.Silbey for some land property i guess he was on the council of battle ground. idk. i have met 2 teachers who knew my uncle. one worked with him the other got sued. i guess thats something to be proud of? lol.
- we had 2 hr late starts the rest of this week because of WASL but i have a choir rehersal in the morning. all of the skyview Choirs leave for PASCO on friday! YAY! its a overnight trip until sunday. I am excited. I am Rooming with Sarah(emilys older sister) and two older girls from concert choir and vocal jazz i think.
- I was doing tennis for school but i quit because i did not like it and it was not what i thought it would be like. but hey, i gave it a try and having pract every day after school was hard. i have other things i have to do.
-I just looked out of the window DARK DARK DARK cloud comming, BRING ON THE RAIN, thats all we see, i can't stand it. you think i would be used to it by now. but i'm not. i would rather have Hawaii weather or be in Hawaii.
-one thing i have learned about High School this year is that people change. I can't stand cliques and i don't try to make myself someone i'm not unlike others i know. I am sure every now and then i may act like someone else but its only we forget who we are.
-FAVORITE SONG NOW: LAST DOLLAR- Tim Mcgraw
well i guess i am going to go only because my brother wants a turn on the computer to play some game. so its probally good but i could go on and on and on. Well yeah.
Everybody meet Mini COOKIE MONSTER, is'nt he adorable. i love little kid things, sometimes i want to be a kid again, or just have the same joys as a little kid. the world it so big and opinionated its hard to understand. there are some things that i used to enjoy but now i don't because well really there is no explanation. its just the way life is.
-WHEN i get older and get a job i want to help people who are sick, maybe work at a mental home and help the elders or help kids with autisim like my cousin does, i love things that make a difference in a world. Thats another thing i like about babysitting i get to watch the kids grow and watch them learn. Before Maddy and Morgan moved i always thought i would be like their big sister and when they needed help with homework i would be there, like a superhero. Hmmm, i had something else. the kids i babysit are like my brothers and sisters and their families are so nice. do you think i have written enough~! i still want to go on and on and on.
WORD OF ADVICE: THINGS TURN OUT OK LATER ON, but when you emotions run inside of you set them free.

One thing i like to do when i'm sad or just don't have someone to talk too i write to god. its a very good thing to do.

ENJOY THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE.(give me a pair of wings and watch me soar. like a buttery i glide, like a bird i sing knowing the breeze and God will take me to a safe place!)

WOW this is a lot of info. i am in a expressive mood today i guess and using only 9 fingers to type. i am not using the finger i jammed. *tee-hee* i'm sure no one will read this all. this is a lot to take in. for me it feels good.


CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU READ THIS ALL LET ME KNOW AND YOU GET A SURPRISE> A GOLD STAR!

RASCAL FLATTS!!!!!CONCERT!!! yah!

I WENT TO THE RASCAL FLATTS CONCERT!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ahhh OMG wow. that was amazing

Well first my mom and i were not going to go because of expense wise so what happened is My dad (who works for Spring Air Matresses) and his Co-worker knows Mike & Amy who are the talk show hosts of 99.5 THE WOLF and they were giving away FREE( FREE people FREE) tickets, so we just thought we would call and ask him if he had any extras he could give us, and it turns out HE DID! they did not want to go. Wow- shocker i know. And i was going to babysitt last night and the parents were going to pick me up but mom and i left to go find their house about 20 minutes before they got there, we searched and searched.... it was crazy! and it turns out they came to our house and we were not there and Steven( my lil brother,) did not listen to what we said, we wanted him to wait there and steven said they are driving home to you house. so he( allen-dad of boy who i am babysitting) and we finaly found their house. They were sick so it all worked out kinda. but that was pretty hectic.

The down side of the concert was the tickets were in WILSONVILLE so we had to drive all the way out there to daddy's Co-Workers house( you would not believe it. its HUGE and pretty) and then we were stuck in the heaviest trafic but seemed to make it ok. Wow that was like the best night of my life( not really- but it was awesome) I also had a sore throat, i am getting sick but that did not stop me from screaming and singing at the top of my lungs. :) so this morning when i woke up my voice was gone. lol- Jessica went to the concert too only i did not see her. So yeah that is my exciting news. I wish i knew we could bring cameras in there, I would have showed you pictures of everything...... you'd be amazed. yup yup yup.

I am taking piano lessons!!!!

I am taking PIANO LESSONS! just wanted to let ya'll know. i had my first one today! I am excited about that!!!!

I honestly don't know why i colored this, But i felt like it, i made it up tonight, like now. What do you think? leave me a comment please!

Do you ever wonder if something is wrong?
Do you ever ask why?
Is there a way to fix what is broken?
Thoughts for someone,
Curiousity tells the tale,
Beginning and End,
Like a boat without its sail.
Do you ever want to help?
Do you ever hold back because you hesitate?
Is there a way to fix what is broken?
Emotions For them and you,
Expressions leads the way,
Weather you go North.East.South or West,
There will always be one place that you can rest,
Hide out from you troubles,
And escape to a land that is free,
You may be blind,
But I will guide you. You'll see!
I am here.
I am there.
I am anywhere you want me to be.
I am a heart who gives love,
When the sail is not at sea.

poem/slight past information

Here Is Where I Want You(Please Stay):
By:Amanda Elizabeth Howsley
Febuary 4th 2007

Please come back to me,
Please don't fly up away,
Here is where we want you,
Please stay.


Your past has caught up with you,
God is ready to let you in,
But i don't want to let you go,
Please stay.

Remember me as you rise,
because I never said good-bye,
You mean the world to me,
Please stay.

Maybe I can re-assure you,
That everything will be okay,
"Your going to get better"
I wish thats what they'll say.

Please come back to me,
Please don't fly up away,
here is where I want you,
Please Stay.


Dedicated to: My Grandpa



he has lung cancer and hes not doing very well right now... thats why my mom went to cali. and the last time i saw him was on thanksgiving and my mom told us that last night that it was probally the last night we would see him. Thats hard to hear and when we found out that he had lung cancer we started to cry and just hugged each other, imagine not having a mom or a dad. Wow. that would be very hard. my grandpas spouse also has cancer, i honestly don't get it. I love him very very much. My Auntie K.K passed away from emphysema, and my papa( not my dad he's my uncle, i call him papa) he has emphysema, My uncle Dick really did not have anything, just high blood pressure from eating so much candy and not taking good care of himself. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. Its just a very scary thought to lose someone. Well enough with my depressing story, i am going to go back and finish cleaning my room. I know its a shocker. lol.

Respectfully,

today is Febuary the 3rd

OKay so its been a bit since i have written, I just go a new myspace and i am so happy about it. But then again i honestly don't knwo why i have it... It's so addicting its bad.
~So its just me and my dad today my brother is helping a friend with their cows and my mom left for cali. this morning. My grandpa is really sick he has Lung Cancer and he is doing very poorly. :( sad too say. My dad found a bunch of old cd's stored in the garage so i took like 26 that sounded good and now i am listening to them and adding them to my ipod. Cool huh? Our family is all music. That would be the deffinite word I would use to discribe our family.
*YAY finals are over, what a relief. I am hoping i did good. Tonight i am babysitting Riley and Joe from 5-11:30 ish because its winter night at our school...(nobody asked me so yeah) and then tomoarrow is the SuperBowl party at our neighbors so that will be kinda fun.
-OKay so at lunch the other day it was Ali's birthday so she brought Krispy Kremes for everyone, and OH MY GOSH! YUMMMMMM! so we all grabbed one and started to eat them, then Mr.Little(Prinicipal) came over to our table and he was right behind me, so i had not idea the expression of his face, He said " You know your not allowed to have those on campus." and we just stopped eating the doughnut at mid way and then Mr. Little said " I am going to have to take those in my office and eat them...." and then we knew he was kidding. He scared us to DEATH. seriously. It was funny though hes a cool guy. Hmmm, what else is going on, i don't knwo not much. I am listening to a great CD I strongly reccomend it

Sade-Artist
Love Deluxe- CD title
1992-Year made(when i was born)
Genre- R&B ( i disagree, i don't think it is.)

Have a good Valentines day! even though its like 11 days away.lol.

last friday & Today...short version

its my mommys birthday tomoarrow. YAY!

OKay so on um, last FRIDAY:

we had a two hour late start (when we had all the SNOW) and i got up early and packed my lunch and had everything ready and went back to bed. On my way to the bus stop i slipped so many times, because you could not really see the ice and to add on to that i was wearing my converse(rubber on the bottom of the shoe) so yeah. And i was in a hurry so i left with out my lunch, and once i realized it I was like oh my gosh, what am i going to do? so i asked Tori, Kendall, Emily and then i called my mom and she said she could not bring the money. And I saw Jim(Mr.Gray/hes a teacher at SHS also my neighbor) when i came into school and then he went upstairs and was well yeah, nvm ... and so later on that day before 3rd period i went to ask him if i could borrow money for lunch( for some reason i was nervous but then i thought why should i be, when he is my neighbor and a really nice guy!) So yeah, he told me to go to class then he would bring it to me. When he came into class to give it to me, He told Mr.Selby ( Jokingly) "I had to give her some money, she lives in the poor part of town..." I laughed and said "YEP, i am just deprived of money." :-p and that was the first day i bought my lunch. I got a Cheese Burger w/ fries( it was good, Skyviews fries are so goooooood!) and i bought Pizza today. Well i am gonna go, just wanted to post a little update. So yeah-

Amanda: "Steven! STEVEN! wake up its snowing!"
Steven:"Huh, are you serious?"

Steven:"SERIOUS?"
Amanda:"YES YES YES!, c'mon and look"
Conv:end
so yeah we played in the snow since 7Am-about 4pm and my arms are sore.

Thank God i did not take the bus, it got stuck on our BIG BIG BIG hill and that would be scary. and like all the kids got transported to school and then had to evacuate the building because they closed it around 7:30 when school starts) so because it was closing everyone had to get out of the school and wait outside. and yeah thats it for the snow day yesterday! Nadine came over for dinner last night and we had spageitti yummy!!!!!!! and i colored nadine a curious george picture.( i got a curious george coloring book from target in the $1 section) YAY ME!

Today:
I slept in until about 10:30 did not go outside until about 1 and then we had a snowball fight! it was fun except for i got hit in the eye with a snowball. :-( It stung really bad and my eye was watering a lot. I made a miniature snowman for emily!!!! (don't worry em' i took pictures) I just got back from the snow about 3:30 PM and now i am going to have some Hot Choclate. YUM! bye bye!
Love ya'll,
Amanda!
