Dear Blogger,

This is officially my last post ever going on to here. I know I said I was going to go through a whole year of this...but honestly, priorities! I don't have time to be on the computer as much as I am, and this is filling up a lot of it! I shall still be taking a pic every day, but for that...you shall see my facebook d:

I have a job now...as seen in the picture, and I pretty much am super busy trying to get a car, college, and getting paid and such.

So thank you for reading this religiously as I have failed to write it d:

However, I'm done talking about myself 24/7.

I bid you farewell forever, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

Today was not the best of days, nor was it the worst of days. But let's go with the latter.

I schooled all morning. Attempted to make a video, failed. Went to PSSA's for 3 hours and listened to the same kid as yesterday talk about his life with his girlfriend and "not" taking dirty pictures...?!?!?! And how his dad is an Elvis impersonator and how he hates his life...I feel bad for him and I'm prayin for him :/ Three hours later I headed to the mall where I was clothes shopping there for 3 hours with two bickering people...mom and emily O_o AHHHHHHHHHH. 3 freakin hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a hectic day. Pray God shows me where He wants me to work, and opens it up for me! Interview tomorrow morning!

Completely head over heels with Jesus, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

Today was filled with TESTING! -_- I hate stupid state testing. It's ridiculous and I'm there for freakin 4 hours. Either way I don't think I failed as much as I thought I would d:

I had subway today (:

I also fell down the stairs...surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) this happens about twice a month. Thin socks + Carpeted stairs = me falling. Oh it's fun, I'm going to punch a hole in the wall one of these days.

It was so freakin hot today! It's like winter went away with a snap of a finger and summer decided to skip over spring!! But the trees are green now (: And lilacs are out and it's glorious and purple...yellow...green, even some blue! I love summer so much.

Random Fact: I talk to myself. No really...all the time. Especially when I'm working at the barn by myself, I mean...I could say I'm talking to the horses...but really I'm having full out conversations with myself! Let me explain, if I'm really excited about talking to someone or have to ask someone something...I will completely go over the whole conversation in my head, guessed responses and all. I know...it's weird. The conversations never go as planned d:

Folden some LAUDREY!YY!!!, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

So last night I went to KelLee's and we had a fun craft day with our masquerade masks! I'm so excited for the dance Friday (:

I also got my 1adaymyles shirt from Kells that Myles had dropped off there! YAY! Now I can advertise (:

So I was applying for a grocery store today when this old man sits down at the Blood pressure analyzer and is like "hmm..I don't know if this thing will work." and I say, "why's that?" and he's like "It's not going to be very accurate with this beautiful girl sitting in front of me!" I was like "O_O heh...heh...I'm sure you'll be fine" and he's like "I'm going to have to cover my eyes the whole time!" And he did -_- hahaha. Old men. So funny...always hitting on me o-O

So I was praying outside of the store today and I was chatting with Jesus...just asking Him to help me not limit Him in choosing where to get a job, and for Him to lead me where He wants me to go. I opened my eyes. And there lay Arby's. (NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo)So yeah...I went in and asked if they were hiring, of course the response would be "YES YES! HERE IS AN APPLICATION! DO YOU WANT TO BORROW A PEN?!!?" -_-

Then they asked me to have an interview.

Got me a free drink.

Sat me down.

Talked about the minimum wage pay.

And how I might have to work at 5am, and sometimes leave at 2am.

Either way I'm not thrilled, but I'm going back Friday for another interview :/ If this is God wants me missions field to be then so be it! I shall do it with a happy heart (:

My knee hurts sooo bad, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

• We got 2nd! But we should've gotten first :/

Yeah. Fun day (:

So SORE, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

I took off my bracelets for the tournament )):

I've had these bracelets on FOREVER.

Sorry I'm so behind with this I've been crazy busy.

Talk to you soon!

Mandy

4.3.10

Dear Blogger,

Today was filled with sun and grass and the breeze and laughter and atmosphere with Jesus it was just incredible.

I have so badly missed this weather.

Bare feet.

Sunglasses.

Shorts.

Dirt.

Grass.

Sun.

Late sunsets.

Early mornings.

Thank you Jesus for keeping me alive another day (:

Eyes are drying out, Mandy

4.2.10

Dear Blogger,

Today was awesome beans. The weather was nice which made me happy (: And Kristen came over and we made videos! Make sure to check em out on youtube d:

So yeah today was fun and I cannot believe its APRIL O_o

I'm gonna go volleyball it up with Emily.

So long fellow bloggers! Mandy

4.1.10

Dear Blogger,

I woke up to Emily drawing things on my face with lipstick. Later on that day I was moving some boxes into the garage and this stuff got all over my hand and arm?! I think the boxes were fooling me as well. Either way, I do not like April Fools Day. It just confuses everyone and everything gets messed up! I'm glad it's just about over.

Today actually was not a very good day. I did school all morning, and then I went to volleyball...where I was determined to have a good time, but alas...it never fails to get me down because of somebody. YARG. Stupid relationships ruin like everything haha. I never want to be in one again. *lies*.

Then we got home where I had like 10 minutes before I left for work! So after the strenuous work out at practice I had to clean 6 stalls which seemed to take forever, and I'm still so sore and bleh...either way I'm energy drained.

I got home and relaxed a bit, cleaned my room up, and attempted to do my math test. Which is now finished; however, poorly. :/

Either way, I'm glad for friends who seem to know just when to talk to you and cheer you up. But right now I want to sleep.

Ta ta for now, Mandy

3.31.10

Dear Blogger,

This is being written late because of the following...

I was picked up at 5:30AM and taken to Catering! Where I was with this kid named Drew and we made pie sculptures and old men flirted with me. Oh, it's jolly fun. I got $100 for watching people eat and restocking. Easy enough, just entirely boring when you're sitting there for...5 hours, plus the 2 hour drive.

It was fun though, I always have fun with that group (:

Then I went to Marissa's house! We hung out and made videos and went on walks and ran into emo children *cough* Micah *cough* and it was great...Marissa almost died! Wonderful! -_- She scared the poo out of me. Then after making like a bunch of videos I went to her church, which was also really good! I like their church because it's very discussion-like. You don't have to be afraid to mention something during the service, or ask a question.

I went home that night where this pictures was taken. I spent 3 or more hours rendering/editing the videos we made and they kept messing up...it was ridiculous. I FINALLY got them up on youtube. But then Marissa told me she wasn't allowed to be in videos on youtube. So I had to private them ):

Either way it was a stressful/fun day d:

Irk, Mandy

3.30.10

Dear Blogger,

Today was gorgeous even through the wind and rain! I schooled all morning, and my video got done processing!

I'm so excited to have my flip here (:

I worked today! God is so amazing, I was wearing this plastic poncho like thing, but it was like...heavy plastic. INSANE. I was being blown around like a balloon it was crazy. But awesome!

Bible study was tonight. Fun stuff. I love those kids!

Alright well I'm getting up super early to cater again, so I have to be outta here at 5:30am! Geez. It's going to be a boring job too...I need someone to talk too :/

No eyebrows, Mandy

3.29.10

Dear Blogger,

MY FLIP CAME TODAY!!

I am so incredibly happy for this small revelation (: We went through so much crap to get this thing to me. (Thanks dad!) And now it's here! And I've been shooting in High Def (:

Besides that I was supposed to be doing school all day, but failed. So! I shall be vigorously doing it tomorrow! It's crazy...*sigh* school ruins everything.

So how are you? Haven't asked you in a while. I'm pretty much super excited for summer. However, a little worried I wont' be able to get my license this summer :/ Insurance is something I have to pay for, and if I don't have a job...then I don't get my license ): Saddness.

Needing to get back to a normal routine, Mandy

3.28.10

Dear Blogger,

We got home today! And spent like 3 hours here and then went to church! Yay! Dad and I were listening to My Sister's Keeper in the car on the way here and it kept swearing and whatnot...really awkward, so we turned it off.

Yeah......

:D

My flip should be here tomorrow.

I'm excited.

WOOHOO.

Talking to a fro-ed boy, Mandy

3.27.10

Dear Blogger,

We got up super early and drove to NC! I slept in a closet. Fun stuff.

I'm super tired.

STINKIN TIRED OF BEING IN THE CAR,

Mandy

3.26.10

Dear Blogger,

Spent all day with Tory! (Who is creeping in the background..) This was so fun (: And I don't like that I'm writing this like two days late, because we can't get on blogger or anything at this college! They have so many dang rules!

But in short this trip was awesome and I don't know if I will end up going there, however, it really reassured me about what I want to do, hopefully d: Media production and graphic design! Yay!

I had a good time with the Goldens too, even though the food was bad, Tim didn't think so, but hey. I got kind of sick.

Fun day.

(: yay college life.

Writing this like 2 days after...Mandy

3.25.10

Dear Blogger,

We traveled from Georgia to Florida today, it was insane and such a long trip.

The little guy sitting on my lap is Drake, he is ADORABLE. And didn't find it strange at all that a group of strangers were sleeping in his living room, actually he was quite excited haha.

We finally made it to the college today!

The Goldens were there!

And Tory!

And a bunch of other people I know (:

Ttyl, Mandy

3.24.10

Dear Blogger,

You may be wondering where I am.

I'm in Georgia!

What fun what fun.

I'm holding a random persons cat who used to go to our church.

In her house.

On her floor.

Stealing the neighbors wifi.

I've been riding in the car for 13 hours.

NEVER go to a BK in Tennessee.

Emily is officially frightened of burly black men.

I love books on CD.

MY PHONE IS INSANE.

Easy peasy butter cheesy, Mandy

3.23.10

Dear Blogger,

c:

Today was filled with joyous times working at the barn, sleeping, and going to the Burnhams! Fun stuff. I held a few baby goats (:

I saw a few people at Ross tonight...it was really awkward. The one broke up with my friend Joshfa. I was going to beat her up but I didn't want to cause a scene. Ha...no I really wouldn't do that....heh....

Well I'm leaving to Florida tomorrow! So Adios! Farewell! Hopefully I will be able to blog this week. heh.

Headachefully, Mandy

3.22.10

Dear Blogger,

I'm kind of really lonely tonight...and I'm not certain why?

I don't like when people let me down.

Who does?

Either way I'm having an emo moment.

Maybe it's because I'm hungry.

This chapter was meh.

Goodnight World, Mandy

3.21.10

Dear Blogger,

Random Fact: I love hair bows d:

Well hi! I'm really excited right now because as of late I have been feeling like God is kind of distant (but who moved?)...and whenever that feeling comes around I know I have something in my life that is preventing me from being wholly "holy" through Him. Tonight's message was amazing! Me and God had a nice talk, and this computer is a big reason for my distancing.

I love my Jesus.

I hate when I stray.

I can't afford it.

Gettin off this thing before I go crazy, Mandy
