dress shopping!

I get to go dress shopping tomorrow. I found the one dress that I want and I get to get my sizes to order it at Abbington's. They have the dress in Lexington, but Abbington's is ordering it for some one else. After I get sized and try some other dresses on just to make my mom happy, I get to order my dress. I'm really excited because I don't have to stress anymore about looking for my perfect dress. Now all I have to do is wait for prom to actually get here.

Prom!

Prom is a really stressful event that I was not looking forward to going through. The whole dress, hair, date, and everything else is way to stressful for me. But I can cross one of those things off my list of things to do before that day gets here. This past weekend, I was asked to prom. It was one of the cutest things I have ever had anybody do for me. EVER. He texted me and told me to go out to my car. So I got up from the couch and went outside. I looked around and there wasn't anybody out in front of my house. So I walked over to my car and I see a rose stuck under my windshield wiper. I picked it up and there was a card attached to it that had "PROM?" written on it. I kept looking around thinking that he might be somewhere around watching me. But he wasn't.

I have never been given roses or anything like that so I was soooo happy. That was one of the sweetest ways I could think of to ask a girl to prom. So I recommend to anybody who needs a good way to ask, that you use that or someway like that.

computers

I'm not a big fan of this new netsweeper thing on our computers. I had to take my computer to the Help Desk today and of course they put the new program on it. I turned my computer back on and my background, favorites, icons, and all the little things you can change were completely gone. I spent the whole entire class getting everything back to the way I wanted it. I was pretty much done and then I remembered one thing. You can't get on facebook or anything at home. Not even with my own internet. We are getting a new computer for our house, so my computer is the only one that works right now. The only thing I can do now is play soliataire and do my homework. I vote that we get rid of this thing right NOW!

No More Neon Club

The Neon Club is no more. Alicia wrecked this weekend and now the club is over. Mr. Fuller came up with this at the beginning of the school year and we thought it was hilarious. He said that because we had the same kind of car and almost the same color that we should be in the neon club. I think he was joking at first but we thought it was hilarious and actually said that we were in the neon club. The entire year we have been the only members of this club. Now that Alicia has wrecked I am the only one in the club so I guess that means there is no more club. :(

Super Bowl!

The Colts are in the Super Bowl! AGAIN! They are my favorite team in the NFL and not just because of Peyton Manning. Even though I would like him to be my husband. :) I can't wait until the big game. Mostly because we always have a ton of people over to my house and cook all kinds of amazing food. My mom makes the best cheese dip in the world, that for some reason doesn't get made very often. But I love it and that is always the highlight of the game. We always play a game to see who can get closet to the total score. I never win but I am determined this year to get it right. Or at least close enough to win. I love watching halftime even though the past few years have been extremely lame. Maybe The Who's can make it more exciting to watch. I really like watching all the hilarious commercials that come on too. There are some pretty funny ones that come out that night. Basically this night will be one of the highlights of the year and I think this day should be a national holiday.

ugly words

Here are some words that I think are considered ugly words:

baby toast!

In biology class we had a talk about rolls. My friend Hope had a very funny story about Thanksgiving with her family. They would always buy a certain kind of roll and make sure they would have enough for leftovers. In the days after Thanksgiving they would always split the rolls and butter and toast them. Somehow she got the idea that because they were little pieces of toast that she would call them baby toast. I don't know why that was so funny to me but we all started laughing because nobody had ever heard the term "baby toast" before.

Bad Ideas

I think this list is going to be endless, but here are a few things that I think are considered bad ideas (most of these I can thank my little brother for):

-running your bike tires and writing your name in wet concrete at a newly built house in your neighborhood

-attempting to hide your report card that can be viewed online

-writing a hateful letter to your friend's parent and sign your name at the bottom but then deny it

-holding up a fort made out of blankets with a large stereo speaker

-trying to chase down a dog that is 3 times the size of a human( it ends up chasing you)

-attempting to copy homework by email and leaving the other person's name on the page

-running down the stairs backwards

This next year is going to be great. My first prom is coming up in May and I get to start helping to plan it in a couple weeks. My junior softball season is coming up in Feb. and I am looking forward to hopefully beating DC this year and making it to the region tournament. Next school year we are starting senior year. It seems like it has taken so long to here. Then on my birthday in December, I turn 18. I am no longer going to be a little kid. I can officially say that I am an adult. And those are only things that I can think of right of the top of my head. There is no telling what other things will happen to me throughout the year. I just know it's going to be a good one.

2009!

This past year I have gained and lost a lot. I realized that some of the people I trusted in really shouldn't be trusted at all. In the end, they weren't worth all the drama that they brought with them. I also found a few great people that have become my best friends that I can count on no matter what.

I got a real job at the end of the school year. And minimum wage jobs are not as fun as some people may think. It's hard work and there are days where I wanted to quit so bad but I couldn't afford to. At the end of the day though, I'm lucky to have my job and things could be much worse for me.

I finally realized what I wanted with softball too. Pitching was making me not love the game anymore and I decided that I would be better off playing at another position. Now I am happier than ever with softball and I actually enjoy going to practice and conditioning.

Love came and went in the past year. At first I didn't think it would be possible for me to function but I have learned that it wasn't really for the best anyway. Since the big incident at the beginning of the school year, I have learned that it wasn't what was best for me anyway. I am much happier now. Looking back, I realized that I thought I had happiness but what I actually had was something that I can look back on and smile, knowing that it's in the past for good.

Overall, 2009 was a good year for me. I learned a lot that I realized that I needed to learn eventually. Now I can have fun in 2010 and use everything I learned to make it a better year.
