Dear Blogger,

I finally remembered! It's about time.

I look like an elf in this picture.

But no really I woke up this morning with a ginormous migraine. It was killer. I ended up passing out on my floor after taking some Excedrin and praying for healing. It went away (: Thank you Jesus!

I was still feeling really nauseous and sick when I went to volleyball so I didn't do much of the workouts and such, however it was a decent practice I suppose. Andrew was the only one who showed up to coach (for the seniors)...it was ridiculous! We were missing a lot of kids too, but he handled it well! So it was good. I feel like none of us are ready for the tournament...in the least. I won't be here next practice because I'll be in Florida, and I'm afraid it will be a disaster. That's what happens when coaches leave :/

After slumming it around at my house, not doing school..heh. Opa came over! You see, I never get to see my extended family, I only see my grandfather about twice a year. So it was really nice to see him and everything...but my friend also really wanted me to take pics at his show tonight. So I spent some time with my Opa and then dad was kind enough to drive me to camphill for Derek's show! I didn't get many good pictures, but that's because of the lighting! (At least I can blame the lighting..heh.) But yeah, there are two of the pictures of many. Most of them are on my facebook!

It was fun. But really awkward considering I was sitting between him and his ex and they were talking to each other hahaha. Oh well it was fun (:

Excited for the future, Mandy

P.S. Look what my cat did to me today! Not purposely...she lost her balance and fell...taking my legs along with it. There's more on the other leg too...

Dear Blogger,

I forgot again! AHHH!

At least I took a picture d:

Today was boring :/ I helped mom go shopping because she wasn't feeling well, and then I came home and went to work, where the weather was BEAUTIFUL. The sun was shining and there was a breeze! I got a "Tan" more like...red! ha But it's something!

I love spring!!!

Till next time, Mandy

Dear Blogger,
Wow I'm failing so miserably at keeping this blog up to date! I'm writing this on the 18th because I totally forgot to do this yesterday! AH! I got lucky because I just happened to take this picture yesterday, if I hadn't I wouldn't have a picture for the day O_o I think if I forgot to take a picture, I would end this project...stupid failure ha.
Okay so I had to drive the stick again today and it was miserable...we got stuck on this hill and I couldn't do it. Dad made me switch ):
Then I went to KelLee's where we enjoyed the sunshine, some ice cream, and long chats d: I love that girl! Too bad I ate her out of house and home.
KelLee: Hey are you hungry?
Me: I could eat.
I then proceeded to eat a "HungryMan" meal.
Me: Okay I'm full now.
KelLee then ever so foolishly pulled out some crackers, bananas and peanut butter. After eating most of it...
KelLee: I thought you weren't hungry anymore?
Me: Oh yeah...I forgot...
Yeah.
Anyway, so then I had church! It was so amazing! Last week, as you know, 5 girls got saved, and this week I saw these three boys playing basketball. I went up to them and asked if they wanted to take the survey with me, they said yes, and one of the girls from last week was with them encouraging to take it too! All three got saved! The angels were rejoicing! Jesus' children had come home (: I was/am SO HAPPY.
Church was grand :D
I made a video again. Oh my.

Excited over heavenly things, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

Stressed and ready for bed, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

So last night (it's actually the 16th) I was laying in bed at like 11:30, half asleep. When I realized...I didn't do my blog. BUM BUM BUM. So I snapped a picture of my grossness before going to bed...and here we are O_o

"Today" was good! After school we ran around, going to random places. I visited Sophia's again because I had applied to there, turns out they had lost my application!! (Thanks for telling me heh.) So I filled out another one and they gave me an interview, I'm really praying they call me!

Then I went to Perkins and filled out an application, and I saw Anna! Boy, I miss that girl!! We had a good talk, as I filled it out, then I also applied to Friendly's..ha.

So that pretty much sums up my day. Bible study was supposed to be tonight...but it didn't happen :/

Yarg, Mandy

Dear Blogger,

HI.

CHURCH WAS TODAY.

AND I FEEL LIKE TYPING IN ALL CAPS.

DON'T ASK ME WHY. JUST DO.

USUALLY I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THIS.

BUT NOT TODAY. AND I KEEP ALMOST PRESSING THE SHIFT BUTTON. THEN HOLDING MYSELF BACK FROM IT, IT'S GOOD DISCIPLINE.

I HAD CHURCH TODAY.

CHATTED WITH MYLES.

BACK TO CHURCH.

MAPLE DONUTS AND BLB'S! HA.

Okay, enough caps. Either way I learned in church today that I really need to stop talking "about" people. I have a problem with talking to people about others, and I need to stop! So yeah. No more frivolous chats...heh.

Short and sweet, Mandy

Dear Blogger,
our power is out.
so this is me at giant.
with someone creeping in the background...
who IS that?!?!

Creeped Out, Mandy

Hey I'm back! So our power came back on YAY! And I just noticed in my picture I look like such a 5 year old. But that's okay, the attention is quickly averted to Myles in the background.

So I woke up to no power this morning! The fam and I headed to Brannigan's house where we hi-jacked his shower and ate him out of house and home. I also owned him at Supersmash bros...okay only like twice, but it was with Kirby. My man.

We got home just in time for Myles to come over! We were planning on making videos...which didn't happen because of the lack of light in the house. So we went with mom to the mall...

• Awkward meeting with old family friends who didn't recognize me
• Myles turned invisible and people were walking into him
• Me throwing my wallet at some ladies butt, Myles throwing his phone at someones kiosk.
• Getting yelled at for recording in the mall.

Yeah it's all in jolly good fun.

We then headed to Giant where we kind of sat around on the computer and contemplated making a video...but only half made it. Either way it wasn't very productive. We then parted ways with a little "faretheewell" and we rushed to Marissa's house!

You see, Marissa called me yesterday and told me about this catering opportunity! (Not anything like the last one HA) I need money = I shall work! I was supposed to go dress shopping with KelLee though :/ Arg.

Well I changed in the car into some fancy pants white/black outfit. We got to the bed-and-breakfast and started serving! I pretty much had no clue what I was doing and was thrown into it! I picked up on it pretty fast and we had everyone's orders in and everyone fed in no time. It was fun; however, I do not want to wash that many dishes again.

You know I'm around people who love Christ all the time that when I'm not...I just...I don't know, it's just so WEIRD. No class. Ha. No really, I feel like...they don't realize that their life could have so much more meaning than what they're perceiving it as, and it frustrates me.

This sounds cliche...but,

You have one life. What are you going to do with it? Who are you going to impact?

Not-so-creeped out anymore, Mandy

P.S. So Marissa and I were sitting out on the porch waiting for our ride, when some people came out to smoke. So we were walking to the other porch, when we realized there were people smoking there too. We kind of knew the lady who was smoking on the second porch who waved goodbye and said "have a goodnight girls!" So instead of saying "oh we're not leaving yet" and going back inside, we decided to walk out into the abyss of darkness in the water laden parkinglot and sit on the cold, wet ground until her dad came. We thought this would make it less awkward; however, it did just the opposite. Whenever people came out to get their cars we weren't sure if we looked like creepers sitting around them, so we would stand up and act busy. It was weird.

P.P.S. Some people have really weird conversation starters..."So how many armadillos did you see in Tennessee?"
