Dear Blogger,

I'm mad at blogger right now.

Livid.

So this might be shorter than I thought it would be.

Besides the fact I'm skyping with Julio...and skyping always distractsss meee...

We took my mom out to Olive Garden today for valentines day! It was quite enjoyable (:

Church was good!

And I'm way to distracted to write this!

In short, God is amazing. And he provides money for me (:

Confused, Mandy

P.S. I got like the biggest compliment of my life today. And some interesting speculation. *raises eyebrow*

Dear Blogger,

I was having a good day today,and I had to photograph it at its best angle before trashing it in the snow. Which is why I'm doing the profile look here...heh.

Howdy! Today was a pretty good day overall (: I don't have a splitting headache this time, just a little one, so write I shall!

KelLee was supposed to come over for piano lessons today, but she bailed to go to NJ! Whoa! Random, yes, I know.

So I waited around for a while and then headed to Drew's. We were supposed to have about 5 girls and 5 guys there to play around in the snow. And this would happen to me. I was the only girl. Which actually, I really don't mind. Guys are usually a lot more fun to hang out with. No drama. And most of the time they don't need to be entertained 24/7. It's chill. We built a bobsled run, fail, and then once Ben arrived we started digging holes to make an intricate tunnels system. Of course this only lasted about an hour and a half of attaching all our tunnels before we gave up and went inside for some warm oatmeal. Mmm. Julio then arrived and we watched a movie called Fido. I honestly will never be able to get this movie out of my mind. It was so.....horribly....awful....yeah. Weirdest zombie movie I have ever seen. Well...only zombie movie I've ever seen...either way, I got a strange impression for zombie movies! "Old people can't be trusted..." <--just a little line of the weirdness... We ended up going back outside and having some crazy snow muffin battles and then tried to do crazy stunts off the trampoline into the snow. So, I'm pretty amazing at doing backflips into the snow....psych....

Alright so before I left I ran inside and me Julio and Dillon grabbed a quick group shot haha.

Julio and I look like we're 5 but hey! Dillon looks like he's old (;

Over all, fun day (:

Creatively, Mandy

P.S. I hung all my pictures from photography camp around my door today...I could spend

forever in a Darkroom...I miss it.

Dear Blogger,

I feel like I just wrote in this yesterday!! Oh wait...

Some days I really don't feel like developing my life into this book, but I know if I don't I will look back with such regret, because time is one thing you can't get back.

I went horseback riding in the snow today with KelLee! I really didn't think I was going to get anywhere today because of the snow, but I realized...it's not too bad outside! So I texted KelLee and headed over to her house (after shoveling ourselves out of our driveway...)

We trudged through the snow, Risky (the horse I was riding) started bunny hopping and almost spilling me into the street! We headed for the trails. Alright now let me give you the low down here...I'm riding a full grown horse bareback. My feet are dragging in the snow! It was insane...the snow was crazy high. Risky then started spazzing out and I almost fell off (which would have been quite the relaxing fall, I might add...quite fluffy.) but I held on and then he kicked KelLee's horse! I think someone spiked his water trough.

We came back to the house where we then videoed with Myles until 2:45pm which is when I hopped off to work! Where I sat in the freezing cold for like a half hour. Brr. I was so hungry.

Momentously, Mandy

P.S. Check out Myle's youtube channel, I'm in today's video :D

Dear Blogger,

This is the face of a girl not yet introduced to the horrors of shoveling 3 ft worth of snow. I would show you an after shot, but she is lying dead on the floor.

So while everyone else is out of school....you were expecting me to say I STILL had to do school. Well, you're wrong! My planner didn't have anything scheduled on it :D So I was a bum throughout most of the day until...

.SHOVELING.

It was most definitely ridiculous out there!

I bundled myself up, layer after layer, trying so hard to not sweat while indoors. I grabbed the nearest shovel, and slowly opened the door. It felt like a wave of ice had been splashed up on my face. The torrential winds tore across the naked, white plain of a backyard that faced me. I shrugged up into my jacket, and tried to zipper it all the way up, it wasn't working. I had foolishly let my hair stay outside of hat and it was soon covered in ice. I crossed the Hoth like, frozen, exterior. My cheeks burned from being lashed at by the ever foreboding wind. I shoveled around the cars and sidewalk...only for another avalanche to cave in and cover the area again. Oh do I loathe snow when I have to shovel it...

Anyway! It was terrible.

The rest of the day was spent making a new youtube channel! I finally found something I'm good at HA. And this guy get's all the credit for helping me make the background! Oh wait, this one get's credit to because he made the template (: Boy do I love links!

Let me know what you think of the video and comment :D

Quirkingly, Mandy

P.S. It's kind of funny how easily we let down our guard and let people make us feel inferior or unimportant.

Fact of the Day: I enjoy going on online chat rooms (like Uno on facebook) just to talk to people and say things like "oh shucks" "hee haw" "poo" "fiddlesticks".

Dear Blogger,

Day number 40! How fantasmical!

How are you on this blustery day? Feeling blue? Maybe a little sick of snow? I sure am! After working at the barn today I just had to shovel and shovel...to NO AVAIL. Really, it was falling faster than we could shovel. My brother Jacob got a hernia from shoveling! It's death to us all!

On a less dramatic scale...today was a good day I suppose. Woke up early, had some amazing Jesus time (: Got school done and watched some Bachelor. I then tried to shovel a little bit before tonights snow came...I gave up soooo fast ha! Then it was off to work for me after watching some kid shows for my imagination to grow. (Or die..?)

I helped clean all the stalls, make dinner and bring in the horses and then my boss had to hurry and drive me home! The snow was falling so fast that even though I cleaned her car off 3 times it still looked the same by the time we left! It's like trying to cut grass with scissors..impossible.

I came home and helped mom make waffles with strawberries, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream on top (: Mmmmm....and then I had some white hot chocolate with whip cream. So good. Now let's just pray the power doesn't cut out.

So very cozy, Mandy

P.S. I made a snow angel in the road today...

P.P.S. I really think I'm a texting creeper. I need to stop with the tenacious texting of people I like talking to. I apologize if you have been a victim of this horrid condition.

Dear Blogger,

This is what my phone looks like because I fell while skating. -_- ASLDFJKsdkfjsdkfl. I can't stand to look at it, I just want to be done with this post so I can stop looking at it. Bleh. Ick. Mutated phone.

Alright so today I did almost absolutely nothing. Key word = ALMOST. I did some schooly school and then went up the street with my mom so she wouldn't get kidnapped by the guy who is estimating...yeah I won't explain.

After that unexplanatory thing I came back down and headed to Corey's house where Emily, Mom, and I took care of all his animals! Quite fun actually. Haha their cat Betty is so funny...

Nothing else much happened....I made a video... fail ...with Emily...it was horrible. But it's on facebook, because I'm not afraid to exploit my life.

I vacuumed today.

I think it was the most productive thing I did all day...nO WAIT! I made a little color-coded calendar of what I have to do with my English Research Paper this year. How's THAT for productive???? Yeah...didn't think so...

Bored to tears, Mandy
