I got a new phone. It's really confusing though... I guess I'm just not smart enough for a smart phone...

It's sooo yummy!!!! I got one a couple days ago. The chicken salad wraps are pretty good too. When I get ice caps I always get them with chocolate milk cause they're better that way.

Oh hey guys. It's snowing. And hailing. And thundering.
I tried a BBQ chicken wrap today for the first time, but I haven't had the chicken salad wrap. One of these days I'll have to try one! I have had three ice capps this year so far and I had all of them with chocolate milk. I agree that they're the best that way!

I have lightning right now (or at least half an hour ago when I got home), but no thunder, snow, hail, or rain...yet. ;)

I had the BBQ chicken wrap a year ago and I thought it was pretty good. I only got the chicken salad one because it was cheaper and I didn't have a lot of money left on my gift card.
I rarely have ice capps because I have such a low caffeine tolerance but they're amazing. Last time I went to Timmies I just got 3 timbits because I was being cheap.

Ah, I see...Now was that a compliment or insult? ;)

I got 110% on my writing finals! :D I am so happy about that. The test was pretty easy for me probably because I love writing, English, and literature. So, that was the biggest highlight of my day. *Goes off dancing.* (Literally, I have ballet tonight. Hehe.)
Congratulations, Sapphire!

The weather has been warm and breezy; it was a bit cooler today but it's still nice.
Oh, and I start volunteering (to get service hours for school) at a horse ranch on Monday :) I'm a bit scared, but I hope it'll be fun, since I like horses :)
Sounds fun! \:D/

Today I plan to continue working in our garden. I hope to be able to plant the melons today. I also hope I can plant more marigolds so that the squirrels won't steal my strawberries.

That sounds nice :) I wish I could plant stuff. Unfortunately the forecast is saying that it will freeze for the next five nights, so I'm afraid to put anything in the ground...

A thanks for the song or a bribe to stop? ;) I know which one it would be if it was me singing! O:)

I blame all the fun Timmys talk here for me feeling the need to go get another frozen raspberry lemonade today. :x Soo yummy! I'm hooked. I need to find out if the sugar content is outrageous or only moderately outrageous. ;) Of course, I decided to go through the drive through, since it's usually fast and I didn't feel like getting out of my car, but then the person in front of me took forever! Either they ordered lots of stuff or there was some kind of issue inside, but I really wished that I had just gone inside. Oh well. That's what I get for being lazy. ;)

I wish I had recorded it, but that would've required putting a camera on the counter in front of us, which would've been kind of weird. I played the uke while he sang and asked if there were any lonely donuts we could have for free, then I played harmonica along with the uke, and then they gave us one.

Yesterday I finished clearing the garden plot. After hoeing, and hoeing and hoeing (hoe, hoe, hoe) I still didn't get half of the clumps of dirt. Finally I gave up, and made a small hill to plant the melons, only to find out that the plants are practically dead. Was I suppose to water them?

I learned a very valuable lesson last night. Always check your iPod and make sure that the battery is not dead. I let the battery get so low on mine that it took an entire day to re charge completely. Scared me to death, I thought it would have to be sent out for repair. My iPod is not the newest, latest one either and repair would be expensive.

I have one and half more weeks until Summer Break!!! The big downside to that is I get to study for finals all next week.

In other news my sister is coming home from college for the Summer tomorrow night. Today; however, I drove (yes me) my family and I down to Cincinnati and back to pick up some of her stuff. So I spent 7 hours of my day driving.

Today we went to a park for a few hours. It's a fairly large park, with a lake and several ponds, so it was fun exploring small trails, and such. I got some great photography shots, and we met some friends that we haven't seen for a while. So it was a fun day.

SWA, I'm glad you have your sister back for the summer :D

For an unlucky day, this was pretty good. (I love how every 13th ends up being a good day..)

Didn't have as much pain today, made it to church, well, the first half. :anxious: I wasn't feeling so great so because we live close Dad ran me back home. I felt bad missing the end of church, but taking a short nap did wonders for the rest of the day. I spent over five hours chasing four little kids. I should have stopped sooner, I think I really pushed myself. Erm. But they wanted me to join them so bad, who could resist? :inlove: They're cool kids. ^.^ Little kids also escapee from 'jail' in Cops and Robbers surprisingly fast. Probably why I was running most of the time. Five hours, and when we were done they still had as much energy as when we started. :P So between exploring hilly woods with my lil sister, and catching prison escapees, I'll probably be a wreck this next week. But some things are worth feeling sick for. ;)

I got my own phone. Yay! \:D/ Now I can txt all my friends all day and waste tons of time. \:D/

note I have not left a sarcasm alert because I saw that people think they are dumb. So to avoid people thinking that I am dumb I decided just to let you figure out that I was being sarcastic. \:D/

Why have you not given me your number yet? :x

I'm in a good mood because I just fixed our washing machine. The lid switched was broken so I personally took it apart and installed a new one. \:D/

I don't really see a reason for me to have a phone, because I would probably never get any texts or calls...
