My Schedule

If any of you are wondering why I basically only post on Sundays, (I like to pretend that there are people who actually read this blog) it's because I have a schedule like this (as of the past three weeks):

Monday:
Wake up at 5:00
Work out
Go to school
Go to work
Come home and do whatever I need to
Go to volleyball
Go to bed.

Tuesday:
Wake up at 6:00 (Late Start for school)
Work out
Go to school
Go Home and do whatever I need to
Go to volleyball
Go to bed.

Wednesday:

Wake up at 5:00
Work out
Go to school
Go to work
Come home and do whatever I need to
Go to volleyball
Go to bed.

Thursday:

Wake up at 5:00
Work out
Go to school
Go Home and do whatever I need to
Go to volleyball
Go to bed.

Friday:

Wake up at 5:00
Work out
Go to school
Go to work
Come home and do whatever I need to
Go to  bed.

So, basically, when I'm home I'm doing homework or laundry, or what not. When I'm not home, I am going, going, going. And that, folks, is why I basically only write on Sundays.

365 week #11

Day #71: AROUND THE HOUSE

These are my "glues". There is spray glue, modge podge, wood clue, fabric clue, double stick foam tape, and E-6000. Obviously, I use a lot of glue...

Day # 72: PEOPLE

This is actually on of the covers of my dad's scripture case. My brother served an LDS mission in Argentina and brought these incredible leather scripture cases back for my parents. This is burnt in, and the other side is a picture of Joseph Smith. On my mom's, there is a picture of the Mesa, Arizona temple where they got married, and Christ.

Day #73: NATURE

This is our lawn. I know that in the winter, everyones lawn kinda dies, but this is elevated. My dad sprayed it with what he thought was liquid fertilizer, but was really weed killer. So, he killed our lawn, haha. Now with the nicer weather, people lawns are starting to perk up a bit...not ours. :)

Day #74: FOOD

Ah, kiwis. I LOVE when my mom buys kiwis! We've been having strawberries and kiwis almost every night for dinner, and they are so unbelievably delicious!

Day #75: CLOSE-UP

My. Fair. Lady. I love this movie! It's soooo good, and the ending is just so adorable! Audrey Hepburn is incredible and I love Rex Harrison as Higgins! 

Day #76: COLOR

Last night while I watched "It Takes Two", I decided I wanted to color. So I printed a design off of the internet and colored away!

Day #77: BLACK AND WHITE

This is my i-pod that is not black. It's actually sitting on the cover of a project that I'm doing for English. This is considered pretty old-school for an i-pod but it does what I need it too. I also haven't put new songs on it for probably two years, but that's okay. I'm kind of a "steady" girl when it comes to music. I don't like a lot of the new "music" that is popular right now anyway... 

Have a fabulous week!

365 Week #10

Day #64: SELF PORTRAIT

This is my "after volleyball" hair. If you look closely, you'll notice that nice halo of frizz that surrounds my head. (I say "halo" because it sounds better than "mass")

Day #65: AROUND THE HOUSE

This is my hairspray that I've probably had for three years and used a grand total ten times. For some reason, I'm not a big hairspray girl...unless we're talkin' bout the movie...

Day #66: COLOR

The lava lamp that I coveted for years and finally my sister gave it to me when she went to college. Ah, the simple joys in life.

Day #67: CLOSE-UP

I got a skirt for my birthday that is really light blue (looks gray, I know) and has these lovely strips of black lace across it. I love lace.

Day #68: PEOPLE

My grandparents served a mission on the Indian reservations in Arizona. I'm not really sure how long I've had this, but I always thought she was so pretty...

...little did I know that she is also practical. yes, that is an air freshener that I discovered about a year ago always knew was there. *cough*

Day #69: FOOD

We have chickens and sometimes they lay--shall we say, interesting?--looking eggs. We've had this for a while because for some reason located in the subconscious, no one really wants to use it...

Day #70: FOOD

I made fondant! I've been wanting to for a while now and I finally did! I really wish that I had something to use it on now. I made cupcakes to decorate, but they are simply to good to use fondant icing on. (It's like eating dirt compared to cream cheese frosting.) It's really not ATROCIOUS tasting, just sugary, ya know? So I'm thinking maybe I'll use a fake-cake kinda deal just to practice with it.

Happy Third Week of March!

A Girl After My Own Heart...

What a wonderful thing it is to have sisters! One of mine is on a mission in Nicaragua and she sent me a letter for my birthday... If any of you can name what movies these are from, you are my best friend for life!

 I cracked up when I read "say hello to the scream extractor..." "...hello...". My parents didn't really think it was funny but even now, I just laugh.

Sisters are a very good thing. :)

365 Week #9

Day #57: FOOD

Veggie platter!! Believe it or not, I looooove raw cauliflower. It's one of my favorite foods and I eat it all the time.

Day #58: AROUND THE HOUSE

Technically, this baby is around me, but it's basically the same thing...but not. Anyway, this is my fake smartphone. It looks like it's a smartphone but I don't have internet, which is totally fine because I already waste enough time as it is. Not having a portable time-waster phone with internet is fine with me!

Day #59: BLACK AND WHITE

So...the picture isn't black and white but but sneaks' are! I love these babies, and I wear them ALL the time.

Day #60 (MARCH!): CLOSE UP

For my birthday, my sister sent a letter. She is on a mission in Nicaragua and I thought that all these stickers and stamps looked really cool on the envelope she sent me... :)

My birthday was on March 1st. My sister decorated my room with balloons and candy and a "Tangled Cup" (random) and a bunch of balloons and streamers and stuff. I have awesome sisters!

This was on my bed and on Friday, my mom, my sister and I went to lunch at Applebee's! 

Rapunzel

Eugene's smolder...

This is a knob of my dresser...she put starbursts on all of them... :)

Day #61: FOOD

My young women leaders brought this lovely thing over to me on Friday for my birthday. I LOVE symphony bars...they are so delicious! I never actually knew that Hershey's makes symphony bars...did you?

Day #62: AROUND THE HOUSE

You can hardly tell this is on a door, but as you can see this is our "no solicitors" sign. A neighbor gave it to us, bless her! Alas, they still come. Two of my brothers sold security systems for a summer and they both said that they ignore these signs, but that could just be them...

Day #63: SELF PORTRAIT

This is my sister and I...people say we look like twins but I don't really see it...I'm on the right.

Volleyball Number Tag

At volleyball, we got a back pack to carry all our v-ball stuff. Everyone in the club got one. The same one. So, after weeks of searching the contents of every bag before finding my own, I decided to do something about it, thus, a project was born.

I printed two of these volleyballs off from the internet.

I cut them both out.

Then cut out two clear vinyl circles the same size.

I got my trusty cricket out and cut out two 12's and two # signs.

Then I glued the volleyballs together, back-to-back, and glued a # sign and a 12 to each side.

I laid the vinyl down on top of it and sewed around the edges.

Quick hole punch, a little ribbon, and never searching through someone else's bag again!

This could totally be used for any sport. If you're a team mom or something, you could make them for everyone, or put names on them, or whatever. Just be creative! :)

Toilet Paper Roll Flowers

This is a project that I've been wanting to do for a while. Because it requires toilet paper rolls, it took me a while to stock up! :)

This is my stash of paper towel rolls. As you can see, I've done some of these before, but the color just wasn't right. Yes, you do see a creepy plastic eyeball staring at you, just ignore it...

I measure 1/4 inch all the way across all of the rolls and drew a line with pencils.

Then I cut out EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. How many even was that? you ask. It wouldn't be that hard, you say. Well, you are more than welcome to ask my aching hand, and you just may end up with something aching when you do... 

  

THIS is how many it was.

Because of future plans that will be revealed in the, uh, future, I did my design to fit a ninety degree angle, so this was my guide.

I just started making flowery-looking designs and hot gluing them together.

I'd lay it out and change it a bit and then glue her down.

This is as far as I went with the picture taking, although in the future you will see more of this and the big project it ties into...

By the way, there are about four thousand, three hundred and sixty four point seven designs and patterns you could do with this. Toilet paper rolls--who knew, right?
