Dear Blogger,

God blessed us with some magnificent beastly sun today!! The weather was most definitely confusing considering there was snow on the ground but I was wearing capris! Either way it was amazing outside.

Naturally, I got Emily to grab her bike with me and we biked to the park! And videod :D

Then after picking up like 90 milliliters of dog poo (yes I said it..) I went to church for the bible conference. Which was really good!

However, in the middle of it I got a scary text and ended up jumping out of my skin the rest of the night. After church we bolted out to rescue my friend in need...when we got to her house she said she didn't need me anymore. But that's okay! I'm just praying that she and her family are alright :/

Pray for them if you get the chance.

Kind of stressed, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

I don't know why I'm failing so terribly with keeping up with this blog! Well...it's probably just because after I miss it once, it's really easy to miss it more. Nevertheless, as long as I still write about my day or on the day, I'm good!

So church was today and Steffen came in the evening! I've been trying to get that kid to come back to church for so long, and he finally did, but just because he's living with his grandparents right now. Either way I was glad he was there, he makes me laugh. He is such a flirt with everyone on the face of the earth ha.

I didn't do much today except for edit pictures for the coffee house the other night...and they didn't even turn out that great :/ I don't know how I'm going to take pictures for the battle of the bands. AH.

Trying not to gripe, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIO. Okay I'm done. I said I would say it to him every time I see him....but alas I think it's getting old. So that's the last time^. And his birthday was actually on the 4th...

Well I woke up about 23049823 times in the night because of KelLee's guinea pigs, her roommate Ashley, and Ashley's phone O_O. It was ridiculous. Either way it would be great if I had had more sleep.

After lounging around the house and playing the piano Mr. Warren very kindly made us cream of wheat which was AMAZING. I have to say i'm obsessed with that cream of wheat now...he also forced me to eat a pancake. Yum. My day was pretty much filled with curling Junie's hair...going to the neighbors for a cup of milk...ha...getting ready and shooting to get ready for the coffee house! It went pretty well, everyone did really good! And I think I actually got my chords down...Julio stole my paper in the middle of it so I had no idea what I was doing for the second song O_o But still, it was alright. Then I played at the end...and...yeah. Geez. I don't think I'm going to do that again haha, spare them all.

Either way, I'm finally home. And I'm tired...and church is tomorrow (:

I miss Jesus, I'm going to spend some time with Him.

Dear Blogger,

No. I did not forget about February 5th's blog, the reason I am writing this late is because I slept over KelLee's last night = No internet! So here we are now...yesterday...er...I mean today...heh...was pretty good I suppose.

Another not so good volleyball practice...I got my braces adjusted on Thursday as you know and my gums wouldn't stop bleeding...I felt like a vampire all practice and it was making me sick.

Oh I also had an interview with Eat n Park that morning! Fun stuff. My brother called me in the middle of it -_- But that's okay, I think it went pretty well.

Then I went to practice at KelLee's church for Saturday nights coffee house! My goodness...I sucked so bad. It was terrible, I didn't/couldn't remember anything. Then after some paranormal activity with cell phones (which I finally figured out btw...) I went to KelLee's house and Junie, KelLee and I all had some good conversation with pie and milk (:

Preeeetty durn good day, Mandy

P.S. I'm totally playing my rubberband instrument in my mouth...that thing hurts like crazy.

P.P.S. I gave Julio his ice cream for his birthdayyy haha..."What!? I thought it kept going.. deceitful ice cream..."

Dear Blogger,

AHHHH.

AHHHH.

AHHHH.

AHHHH.

I just spent

the last...

2 hours...

or more...

on a math test...

that I probably failed...

HOW I LOVE SCHOOL.

Driving didn't go well today -_- Let's just say people are jerks and I hate merging.

I saw KelLee today (: Working is more fun when she's there at the barn with me. However...I need to work on my patience for people I don't have so much fun with...like my other co-worker. I'm praying for him, and for myself that I have patience for him...ah.

I'm really tired. I have my second interview tomorrow O_O

Now I'm suddenly awake.

Goodnight lovelys, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

HIGHLIGHTS

• On teen visitation tonight I came to this old mans house. I said "We're from Lighthouse Baptist Church and we're out taking surveys, would you like to take one with us?" He replies with..."I don't know...but I do LIKE little girls...*smiles creepily*" I just stared at him...looked down on my paper and continued with the survey. Can anyone say pedophile?!!?
• I drove stick again today and got stuck on a hill for 5 minutes. I absolutely do not like trying to GO after stopping...on a hill...with cars behind me...so I let everyone pass me.
• Levi talked to me today! I miss that boy...ex-hubby of mine...I think he should stay in America. -_- Ha jk...the African's need Jesus!
• Going back to bulletin number 1....this past summer some old man tried to hug me twice. The things I do to show people Jesus! haha (; No really...it's scary.

Feeling violated, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

My oh my. So I just now completed like all my school...because earlier today I got distracted by a certain tv show...*cough* bachelor *cough* and didn't finish earlier...boy do I love homeschoolin! Oh well, I actually understood math today...mm... logarithms!

Mom and I went out to a few stores, my doctors office...and then work!

DETOUR: I also called Eat n' Park back today because they had called me yesterday. I have an interview tomorrow! Praise Jesus! Ahh He's so amazing. And it was funny...because I had filled out 3 applications the day I handed in the one to Eat n' Park. And that one was the only one I decided to write "Barn Slave" in the previous employment section. And he called and was like "Amanda Swink...Oh yeah! Barn slave right?" haha It was great! :RUOTED

Anyway, back to work...so I cleaned all 6 stalls by myself today...but it was good. I had some Jesus time that I don't seem to make time for...gah. Then I went out to feed the outside horses, misty rain spritzing my face, muddy puddles getting all over the gator. Fun rainy day. So I got to Anna and Mahogany's shed and I went to give them hay. And you see...the doors on these sheds, I don't QUITE have to duck to go into them. But almost. So when I threw the hay in, I ended up jumping. My head smacked the top of the door, all the hay dropped and I just sat there in crazy pain for like 10 seconds. I just kept praying because I really didn't want to have a concussion, especially with bible study tonight... head injuries would totally ruin the mood. And I'm pretty sure Jesus instantly healed me (: It didn't hurt, and I can't find a bump or anything. Our Jesus is amazing...I smacked my head so hard, He just can overcome that *Grins*

Bible study was a lot of fun! I had to share my testimony tonight, so after some worship I did...and recently I've been struggling a lot with self satisfaction. Sometimes I feel as if I have "arrived" or I am just satisfied where I am with my walk with Christ. But I really shouldn't be. And it bothers me that I am. Grawr.

And I just found out why Julio didn't come to bible study.

-_-

Lame, Mandy
