Three Things I Did This Spring Break

This spring break I didn't do a whole lot. 3 days before school was officially out for the break I went to Creston to visit my Auntie Sandi and cousin, Mandi. They used to live here before but three years ago they moved to the boring town of Creston, so I always really miss them a lot.

When I was there one day Mandi and I played volleyball with a few other people which was nice because I haven't played volleyball in a long time. Except that because I haven't played it in a long time I kinda was terrible at it compared to the other people there who were like pro. So that was slightly embarrassing.

Another day we went to the States to Cortalaine and Sandpoint for some shopping. I didn't get a whole lot, but I did get two sweaters for next winter. They're just kinda useless to me right now considering that its spring now.


But while we were down there we went to Olive Garden for lunch. So I ordered Iced Tea. But I totally forgot that they do their iced tea a bit differently in the States. So when they brought me my drink, I took a sip and was surprised to find that it was literally cold tea. So Mandi told me to add some of the sugars that they had on the table for the regular teas. So I just went ahead and dumped in like 3 sugars and one sweetener package. After Mandi just looked over and was like "What? I've never actually seen someone do that before!" so, it didn't actually make it taste any better. And it was an incredible waste of iced tea.

Cowboy Animation

I know I was supposed to add music to this, but I don't think theres any music that would match up with it properly. Sorry!

Winter is Great!..Sort of

I cannot decide on weither winter is great or not. In like December and we were all psyched up for a lot of snow and for sledding and skiing and snowboarding and all that fun wintery stuff it was a lot of fun. But now that its March, and we're all good and ready for spring and its snowing, I'm a little bit upset and hating winter.

Winter is fantastic for getting all cozied up in a snowsuit and heading outside on a really snowy day and going sledding or just making a snow man or for having a snow ball fight. It's also sooo pretty when you go to bed and theres not a lot of snow on the ground and then you wake up and like 8 inches have fallen overnight and its like a winter wonderland out side, but you are inside all nice and warm.


But, winter is terrible because its cold and after a while you get tired of having to bundle up because you're freezing. Also its super depressing sometimes when all the clouds take up the sky but theres no snow and everything is just gray. Also just thinking about summer in the winter time makes you want to get out of the cold season and into summmer.


Which is where I wish we were now!

My "Wintery" Weekend

Well this weekend I didn't do a lot which was nice. On Saturday I went to Gayleen's but didn't ride any horses. She was having a horse clinic with a trainer so I got to watch a few people get pointers on how they rode. Which was good for me so that I could get some pointers on how to ride better. But actually the real reason I was there was to help Gayleen out. She has an enclosed arena where we ride the horses and you're supposed to scoop up the horse poop so that you're not walking on it and to keep the arena clean. But I guess they've had problems with getting people to do that so she had me and my younger sister sit out there in the freezing cold waiting for the horses to poop so that we could scoop it up. And none of the horses did for my sister, only this one did for me when it was my shift and it was so gross. It was running in a circle so when it pooped it spread it around in like a trail a few meters long that I  had to scoop up! It was pretty nasty but I had a good time watching all the horses.

Then yesterday, Sunday, I did pretty much nothing except for in the late afternoon my dad took me out to drive because last weekend I got my L! So that was fun, I love driving. And then after that, around 5 I went to my friend Cheylenes house and just hung out, played cards and made fun of her sister as usual.

So that was my "wintery" weekend.

learned how to crop and repast pictures

2 Things I Have Planned for this Weekend

So it is Friday, finally! This was a long week. And to end it in a high note, after school I am going to my good friend, Cheylene's house with a few other friends. I guess we plan to watch "Displicable Me". I've already seen this movie, and it was funny, but I'm sure that with friends it will be much better. Then of course we'll do all the other fun stuff that us girls usually do :)

Then tomorrow, just like last week, in the afternoon I will be going to Gayleen Ridley's house to do some horse riding. Maybe learn a new trick or two. I can't wait!

Fun With Photoshop

Today we had to work with Photoshop with pictures of ourselves.

This one is the first one I did where I didn't know what I was doing and just went at it.

This is one of me if I was fat. If I hadn't already resolved never to be fat, this picture sure has convinced me!


And this final one is of what I believe I would look like if I smoked. Therefore I never, ever will!

My Weekend

This weekend I had a ton of fun. On Friday after school I went to my friends, Cole and Wades, house. First we played the Game of Things, but it didn't work out so well because we all seemed to be brain dead and unable to think of anything funny. So we moved on to just hanging out and watched Cole embarass himself in front of a girl that he liked that he had also invited over. This girl is older than he is, and very pretty, and it was pretty obvious that he was happy about her coming, too bad he didn't quite know how to act around her. Then we started to watch a movie, but after some parents rendering it not very appropriate for us, we turned it off and got another movie. This movie was equally, if not more terrible than the one before, but for different reasons. The first one was very funny but inappropriate. The new one was honestly the most retarded movie I have ever watched. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World....do not watch it ever! Anyways other than that it was a very fun night with my friends.

Saturday afternoon I went for my horse riding lesson. It was a lot of fun, I love horses so I always enjoy these Saturdays. The horse I ride is called Luke, he is about 8 years old and a painted Quarter horse. He isn't my horse, he actually belongs to the girl who owns the arena that I get my lessons at so thats very nice of her. Before that I had only walked Luke and learned to steer him better but this time I actually got to trot! I had trotted before but with someone else leading the horse just to get me used to it, but this time I made him trot by myself and got pretty good at it. It's a lot of fun, and now I can't wait till I can make him full out run! After we left, I was so sore from riding so much, even today, 2 days later, I am still a little sore from it. So I went home and just thought I'd have a boring weekend by myself when....

My good friend Georgia called me! She too was thinking she was going to have a pretty dull saturday night when she decided to have me over for a sleep over. So that was pretty awesome. Her mom and little sister, Zoe, came and picked me up on their way back from picking up pizza. The pizza was amazing and we watched crazy shows about little kids that are really terrible. Then we watched a sad, but good movie and then the Big Bang Theory.  Anyone who has not watched this show definatly should, its so hilarious! So DO watch Big Bang Theory, DO NOT watch Scott Pilgrim vs, the World, if thats all you take away from this blog, I'll be happy with that! Anyways so that night was awesome., got to hang out with my pal :)

So that was my fun weekend!
