Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Five Easy Tips

2012-01-11T11:00:00.000-08:00

Trash. Trash. Trash. YUCK. When I walk down the street in my rural hometown the last thing I want to see is bottles, cans, and paper scattered across the floor. The "countryside" that is stereotypical in American movies definietly doesn't mirror our quaint home of QC. For the longest time our neighborhoods didn't even recycle, meaning more waste to be spilling out of your garbage cans into the streets. It's ugly! SOOOO, I thought I would post some tips about recycling.

1. Cans for Cash!; Almost any household drinks soda from a can. It's cheap and delicious refreshment! But then, those cans get tossed around; into the garbage, onto the floor, etc. But did you know that if you collect the cans and take them to a specific recycling center, they will PAY you for them? It might not be much money, but you will be doing good for your world, and getting a reward.

2. 2 liter bottle {Rockets}!: Having trouble figuring out your kiddos next science experiment?! Well look no further then an empty 2 liter bottle! These bottles can be truned into rockets, hold the "explosion" part of a volcano, or even be put together to create a mock greenhouse. The opportunities are endless.

3. Glass bottle Vintage: Remember the cute little glass bottles of Coca-Cola? Well they're coming back! After you're done with them they make for quite the decorations. The glass bottles themselves can be distressed and used as vases, shelf decor and more! Then, the tin caps can be made into Jewelry like this-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONXJoYGEkjo&noredirect=1

4. Reuse EVERYTHING; reusing a water bottle seems simple right? Yet we never really do! A plastic waterbottle can be refilled day after day. The plastic is strong enought to keep up. But we can reuse other plastic products also. Empty shoeboxes, used plastic cups, cardboard toilet paper/paper towel rolls, and any other item! They can be used to make fun crafts like these! -->http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/crafts-by-material/recyclable-projects/

5. Just Recycle? Duh!; most communities have recycling programs set up so you can recyle acceptable item through them. However at most any school, there is a paper recycling can that can potentially earn the school money. The more paper, the more your childs school gets!

So basically, just recycle. Figure out some fun and easy ways to do it and get it done!

Do you have any good recycling ideas? Share them!

Things I just don't understand...

2011-11-11T18:52:00.000-08:00

Why are we taught certain things in Elementary school that eventually are contradicted in high school? In math it happens all the time. Division with remainders are not even real numbers, nor is it useful at all. You really NEVER have to write in cursive in high school and college despite what your 4th grade teacher tells you.

And then even in high school you are taught things that aren't totally true.

For example, when you learn about how incredible Martin Luther King Jr. was you never learn the other things about him. That he was a womanizer, and cheated on his wife. Or that he preferred white women to black women. Or when you learn about JFK you never are taught that he too was a womanizer and an adulterer. Though, his relationships are much more widely known in the public, they are hidden in the education system. I did a report on the affairs of JFK for a project once and thought it was fascinating how well they kept that from the public. And even in some southern schools they do not teach that the south lost the civil war, they teach that it is not yet over, and the south is still fighting for their honor.

Life is subjective, I know that. And I understand that we are trying to "protect" the youth from any horrors, or sadness. But I also know that knowledge is power, and ignorance is powerless. I don't think that it is a good or bad idea to teach this way, personally I don't like it, but I understand it's purpose.

Even in school you find out things that when a child you never thought possible. Like the fact that there are still groups out there in the world that are "anti-black, anti-mormon, anti-....etc.." It is amazing to also realize you have friends that support the opinions of these people. And while you try your hardest to accept people as they are and not judge their opinions it is very disconcerting. I have recently found out that I have a friend that is Anti-Mormon and her family is racist against blacks. I love her. And I have never conflicted with her because I am not her judge. I am saddened that she doesn't like Mormons because I am one, and it makes me sad that her family is racist towards blacks because both her and I are good friends with a lot of black people.

As a child we are ignorant because of our vulnerability, but as we mature we are vulnerable because of our ignorance.

Some things I don know though, are that we cannot progress without and expanse of knowledge and a drop of prejudice and judgement. "Our nation" said my history teacher, "has not disagreed like they are disagreeing now since the civil war,". I don't have a political view because I have not studied recent politics enough to form an opinion (so I am ignorant) but I will NOT make an ignorant decision as to whom I will support. I am able to vote in the next presidential election and I will be an informed voter. I will not vote because of their slogans or the t-shirts made for them. I want to be able to make a good decision in order to make a difference in the nation that I live in and love.

Sorry for the intensity of that. I know I don't usually post such controversial things, but it has been on my mind.

Love,

The Cat Lady!

I want to...

2011-09-10T18:26:00.000-07:00

I've been stressing myself out lately. I don't know what I am doing.

I want to sing again, I want to dance more, I want to run, I want to be kissed in the rain, I want to get out of school, I want to go to anywhere out of Arizona, I want to dye my hair pink, I want to win all my cheer competitions, I want to see my football team win, I want to have good grades.

I want to be remembered, I don't want to be stressed out.

Sincerely,

The Cat Lady

2 Bedrooms, 1 bath. Laundry facility, playground, community room. What else could I need?? This apartment would be perfect for when I move out because it is 1. Small and cozy, 2. Affordable! If I had a roommate then rent would be a little over 200 a month. Which is cheap considering the expenses of a dorm room at over 1,000 a semester. I am planning to move to Peoria so that I can attend Grand Canyon University to study Exercise Science with an Emphasis in Athletic Coaching or Health. (I haven't decided yet). I want this major so that I can become a teacher at a high school teaching health and coaching a cheer squad. This apartment would be perfect because it would be a home for me, because I could pick my roommate and be able to live in the house and make it my own. The location is perfect and the amenities are all that I could need. That's why this apartment is perfect for me.

Well here's the story !

2011-08-01T21:17:00.000-07:00

Summer has been fun. Though not much of it has been documented on pictures, BUMMER. Well, I have gone on a trek, gone to Utah, to girls camp, to two cheer camps, and just had lots of fun.

In the process I have read 3 books. I re-read "the color purple" I love everything about that book. I read, "A raisin in the Sun" a play about a black american family in Chicago that experienced segregation often. And I am now reading, "Uncle tom's Cabin" so far so great!

School starts soon and I am having mixed emotions about it. Excitement/sadness. But its a fun experience I guess. Hello Junior year.

Here are a few pics of things I have recently become obsessed with :)

My new boyfriend :)

Nordstrom music :) from the fashion lounge.

not the pic I meant to post but, I have become obsessed with Elephant Tattoos recently :)

Well. Ta-ta for now!

Love,

The Cat Lady

Oh what a joy...

2011-05-30T11:45:00.000-07:00

School is OUT! Yay! I love summer and I am dying to party. The day we got out I went to one that was alright and last friday I went to an amazing one at Mesa Ampitheatre with my girlfriends. Then we hit up McDonalds and over all had an amazing night :) We didn't really get any good pictures of all of us, but oh well, next time for sure :)

I've been really into Katy Perry Lately and I am loooooving this song;

TGIF-Katy Perry

Cheer and Weight training starts in a few days, that'll be exciting, our squad is gonna be amazing this year!(hopefully). And I'm gonna look hawt.

My plans for this summer are kinda dominated by cheer and church stuff, but I will for sure get some partying in there ;) No biggie but you know, I can get down.

Have a nice day! (:

Love,The Cat Lady!

(This is my brother, I am still boyfriendless)

We just wanna see ya.... SHAKE THAT!

2011-05-02T18:53:00.000-07:00

Why am I blogging?

2011-04-18T19:02:00.000-07:00

I think that I just like to hear myself, even though this is silent.

Anyways, I haven't blogged since Christmas. WOW! That's not surprising. What has happened? Well, We WON the Cactus cup small varsity non-tumbling division and got third place at the AIA state cheer tournament! Woot Woot! Track started and it's going very well. I am getting much much faster! hahahah! I met a guy, and he's hot. That's about it.

I am recently falling in love with music like Lenka and Ingrid Michealson. Pandora is the bomb! But I also love me some hip-hop! Kid Cudi, Britney Spears, Lady GaGa! It's all good. I especially love the songs:

Erase me, by Kid Cudi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A539HgKiElc

Just can't get enough, by BEP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A539HgKiElc

and, Nightminds, by Missy Higgins

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wtUo1qACzM

"I will learn to breath, this ugliness you see"

It's better. Always getting better.

Love,

The Cat Lady

I have a lot of opinions

2010-12-26T19:46:00.001-08:00

I hate hypocrites, I just can't handle them anymore. It's like, seriously? You juuuust told me to not be friends with that person and now they're your BFF. Awesome dude, don't come crying to me when EVERYTHING FAILS! Ugh. For real duuuude.

I guess I'm the only one with any sense. Hahahah, and I don't even have that left.

Why am I blogging? It's 8:50pm and I have a 6 hour cheer practice tomorrow, and everyday for a week. New years eve I will be sleeping, not partying. I know, FUUUUN. I love cheer but this is gonna be crazyy. I mean, when am I gonna have time to read,? and blog? Oh well. Thats okay. Deep breathes.

Love,

The Cat Lady.

I know, I'm a great mish

2010-12-06T20:24:00.001-08:00

So theres this chiiick. Yeah, she got baptized and I love her. She's just great, I'm excited. Let's all be excited. 1.2.3. GOOO TAYLOR!

There isn't much to talk about...

2010-12-06T20:04:00.000-08:00

Hmmmm, I think my life may be a little.... mediocre. I'm not complaining though, cause there is less to deal with. Although, I am constantly being reminded of the things I am in charge of. It's a life of ups and downs, and too many constraints. I don't think it's as hard as it seems, but.... you know, I'll get over it... Here's what I've been up too.

For Turkey day, my fabulous seminary council and I set up a breakfast feast for our peers. Complete with Eggs, Bacon, waffles, and orange juice. We were definitely blessed, 200 cups, 2 gallons of OJ. Woooooh. Plus, we had an AMAZING speaker President Trent Allen, love that guy. It was a day of success.

I learned like 50+ cheers and taught them all to my cheer squad. Sadly, this is only the beginning of the cheers and I get to continue to learn MORE AND MORE. YUUUUUS! Great, I love that. It's just so so fulfilling. ha....

We cheered at a few basketball games already and we're doing just fine.

I learned a girls part in the competition routine, then another girls part, and performed them both in the pep rally.

I went to the best leadership camp ever. It made me want to be a coyote forever. I love it, we even got invited back for more next year! Yee haw!!!

Well yeah, mediocre. But hey, you know, it's mine so whatever.

Love, The cat lady.

School is for fools, look at me!

2010-08-22T12:35:00.000-07:00

Just kidding, I do go to school and am not a fool.

I can't say that I love school and I can't say I hate it. I have often thought of taking a different approach to high school, like getting a GED or just dropping and going straight to college. But I have a few things to worry about.

1. My friends, I would worry about them and what was going on way to much.

2. My sports, I know I could still play with my schools teams but I don't think it would be the same. I wouldn't have as great a relationship with my teammates.

3. My social life, would go down the tubes.

4. Last; my health. If I was home all of the time I would eat myself silly. (:

So, happy new school year kiddos. This should be a great one, maybe.....

Monday; Lunch with my best friend and my brother. and I went running.

Tuesday; shopping all day with my best friend. and dinner with the family.

Wednesday; .... lunch with the family. laundry and cheer. Got dropped on my butt. It was quite a pain.

Sooooo, why is there nothing making sense to anything??? Wellllll, school starts in 2 weeks. In the process of summer I have lost the following people.

But you know, It's eh, eh, eh, nothing else to say.

Word.

Running

2010-07-13T23:25:00.000-07:00

I have a love hate relationship with my running. I love that I can run and not have a hard time. I'm not afraid to run like I am afraid to do backflips, or stunt. But I hate that I have old lady back problems and that I feel like I am gonna croak every so often when I don't even run that hard. Ugh. Frustrating. I love track, also, but then again, I hate the whole pressure of it. Right after my final race at regionals I did a cool down loop that ended me back at my campsite, there I took off my track shorts and put my jeans and t-shirt right on. I was ready for a break, although that break was only a 2 week break that bridged me over straight to cross country. I don't know how to manage it. I feel dumb when I don't run but I feel like junk when I do. Is cross training okay? If i bike 13 miles does that count as a 7 mile run?? Hmmm, the questions I will NEVER answer. Except with a maybe. But, all I know now is that it is still a love/hate relationship. At this point of the night (11:30) I hate it. Another reason I have a hard time running is that, frankly, I don't sleep soundly at night. I just don't. Sooo, I am always tired! Hahah, I can't wait for winter when I won't have to run at 5 every morning to beat the heat. If only if only. Arizona is a horrible running state. Horrible I tell you. Running has even creeped up into my cheerleading. For our varsity "evaluations" friday, we have to run a mile. Though, I'm not complaining much about that. I love the mile. (: hmmmm, maybe I am just a baby but seriously, where does this become something I just love all the time? Eventually I am hoping. But for now, I am sunk. And as I write this (11:35) Vance walks out the door to run. Maybe we are the same as in both of us are insomniacs. Hmmm, oh well. Tomorrow I will use an eliptical machine, run at night, take my vitamins, and do more of my "old lady" pilates for my back. FUN! I am just soooooo exciting. Oh and did I mention I am freaking out for evaluations on FRIDAY??? Yuuuus.

8 9 and 10 Thankful for!

2009-11-10T18:50:00.000-08:00

8th excercise-- I love being able to feel myslef getting stronger and being able to prove myself just as strong and good as the boys.

9th eggnog-- I made some and it put a huge smile on mine and my mom's faces. I love it so mucho. Favorite holiday drink(:

10th writing-- I think I would go crazy if I coldn't write. I would love to just be able to read and wirte all the time. I can't hold anything in. Writing is my vice.

5,6, and 7 (thankful for)

2009-11-07T14:18:00.000-08:00

5th the atonement-- I am thankful for this because it makes repentance possible, and since I know I am not perfect repentance is a key in my life. I am very thankful for the atonement of Christ.

6th family-- I am thankful to always have someone at home who will always love me when it feels like the whole world is out to get me.

7th sleep-- though I don't sleep as much as I want to sleeping always makes me feel better. I don't like to be tired but even if I have energy I like the sweet serenity of sleep.

Im stealing from my mom....

2009-11-06T16:41:00.000-08:00

I decided to do the thankfulness chain like my mom is.

I have a book I write everything I am thankful for every thanksgiving so this is another add-on to that. Yes, I know I am behind so here at the first 5!

1st Early morning seminary-- Although a 4:30-10:00 o'clock day is hard it's not nearly as hard as some people have it, and for the hours of 5:50-6:50 I get to listen to the teachings of my lord. It is very awarding most days. I think I have better days when I do go (even though im usually late). I am also the seminary class president which everyone guessed right away. I love conducting but im a slacker I think and I don't always get there in time to conduct. Today we watched "the testament" in class, I was brought to tears at the power of it and was especially touched by the prayer Brooklyn gave afterwards, all around the day started out amazingly.

2nd hospitals and doctors-- Recently my grandpa has been in the hospital alot for his heart similarly to my amazing friend Hana Hornbeck who is suffering from myocarditis. Three more cousins where born (one of them kept in PICU for awhile) and soon my mom will go to the hospital to have my 7th sibling. Also I needed a hospital and a neurologist which helped me alot.

3rd Imperfections-- I think imperfections where given to us so we could grow and learn. Without them there is no progression and no improvement. I hate it when people think that others are perfect, I hate it when people think I am perfect, truely I don't want to be perfect, only perfectd in God.

4th my school-- I don't care what anyone says about Combs. I love my school. I learn same as you. I play sports same as you. I use computers same as you. I eat lunch same as you (if not better, our lunches rock!) I do homework same as you. I pass classes same as you. I never want to hear that Combs is a "dangerous and scary" school, you obviously don't know scary if you are calling my school scary. Yes, we are diverse but we are no different from your school. I have witnessed one "almost fight" this year and have heard of NO other ones. It is wonderfully safe and I love love love love love love love love it!

5th music-- There is no other way to feel better or channel a mood. I could change your mood with all the music I know. I don't like one certain kind of music. I listen to bands such as Senses fail then switch over to music like Lenka. Whenever I give a talk I can guarantee that I will most likely use a song to channel my topic. I love it. Im obsessed!

p.s. This is my first post that I did not include pictures(:

Hana Hornbeck!

2009-11-01T13:29:00.000-08:00

Hana and Taylor

Emily and Hana

Cute Hana!

Hana and I!

Hana is a girl on my cheer squad, she is one of the sweetest most giving hard-working person I know. She is so so so so great. About 6 weeks ago a sad thing happened, Hana was diagnosed with myocarditis, this in an infection that goes straight to your heart. It's what was explained to me as the flu going to your heart. She was then transported to UCLA medical center. She has missed 6 weeks of school. She has had 3 heart surgerys and her diagnose was changed to Giant cell myocarditis the other day. Soon she will need to have a heart transplant, that is what she is awaiting right now. Here are a few fundraisers for her:

-November 10- Jimmy of Chicagos:Italian home cooking is hosting a fundraiser for her. 20% of all proceeds that night will be going to her, call to RSVP at 480-9636363

November 3- Spaghetti dinner put on by the Combs High School student council. All proceeds will benefit Hana, $3 per plate, in the Combs cafeteria at 7

-Hope for Hana shirts are available, you can buy them at the High School book store (if you would like one let me know and I can pick it up for you) they are $20 and all of the money will be going to Hana.

-If you just want to donate money you can go down to the school or give it to me and I can take it to the donation box.

If you cannot donate please just keep Hana in your prayers, she needs our support and love and Combs High School needs her back!!!

I know.... I stink at blogging.

2009-11-01T13:11:00.001-08:00

Maybe it's cause I don't have enought ime or energy but it's true, I never post to my blog. Wait! Maybe it's because nothing too exciting really ever happens to me! Hahahah. Don't worry fellow bloggers, this isn't gonna be too long.

This is Hao. He is a chinese foreign exchange student that goes to my school. He is so awesome! Super funny! And a pretty good singer! Pretty much he is one of the coolest people I know!

Cheer started ( I know it was awhile ago) this was at our first game, Naomi Barreto joined us on the field. She had her own uniform and everything! She loved it!

These are my brothers. lol. They sing on the way home or to school it's pretty wonderful, especially after a crappy day.

I love this girl, Taylor Kace!

I <3 love cheer, it makes me so happy. Imani, Taylor Monique and I at the Paradise Valley combined game.

So pretty much you can say I have lots going on and I am in absolute heaven. Not to mention I have a 3.97 GPA WITHOUT the weighted grade benefit. It's gonna be a good year.

This year I was invited to the pinal county leadership camp. This camp is so oober amazing!! We played games, sang songs, climbed up onto a sixty foot high ropes course, cried and best of all.... DANCED!!! It was so life changing and I just want to go back. Here are a few pics of what we did:)

We rode up early on a wednesday morning, we rode the short bus and it was a bumpy ride!! This is Ezri falling off of her seat:)

There was snow everywhere in Oracle, AZ where camp was.

This was after a "do you trust me?"activity.

This is (left to right) Sierra, Ezri,Chantel, and Ashley!! They all go to my school and came to camp with me!!

This is my team the red squad!!

This isnt a great picture but this is me on tha high ropes course, I was scared to death but it was great!!

This was our "mosh pit" with Ezri in the back!!

This is Ryan Leybaus, he started this camp when he was 12 years old for his Eagle Project for boy scouts, he is one of the best motivational speakers I have ever heard!

Red and ready to go!! Red jeans, red shirt, red jacket, red eyeshadow, and a red bandana!!

This is me CROWD SURFING!!! When Ryan told us we where gonna crowd surf everyone thought he was kidding, but no!! We actually crowd surfed!!!

"LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN" (camp motto)

Jordan Chapman is my ABSOLUTE best friend. Jordan and I met four years ago when she moved in a few months after I did. our families had FHE together. Jordan took me up to see her room and we found things in common, we both played softball and a stringed instrument in orchestra.(Jordan violin and me cello) and even though neither of us play either of those now, we are still BEST FRIENDS! everywhere we go we take pictures together. They are sometimes VERY cute, These are just a few...

Jordan and I at president roethlisbergers(uh, spell check?) house out in the backyard.

In an empty exhibit at the zoo.

In the clam at the zoo.

and in the forest area of the zoo.

And also if you havnt noticed, we both LOVE the zoo!

A trip to the zoo!!!!

2009-02-04T10:53:00.000-08:00

Well I know it seems a bit kiddish but.... I LOVE THE ZOO!!! Since Jordans birthday was last week we went to the zoo for her party!! Jordan and I could spend ALL day there!! After five hours on saturday, I didnt ever want to leave!

sis. chapman remembered that she had a picture of Jordan when she was little in this clam so we made jordan get in there for another! She didnt like it, here she is looking at layne for help:)

We played on the playground. YES we got worried looks from all the adults standing on the side!

We jumped into an exhibit and pretended to be the exhibit. Well I did, not so much Jordan.

Jordan climbed a tree. Layne was "gazing".

Not many people know this but I LOVE ELEPHANTS! That was what I was soooo excited for, so we went straight to the elephants and..... there was only ONE!!! GRRRRR! Anyways.... this is Reba. She is an asian elephant and she is 39 years old and has been at the pheonix zoo for ten years, and yes, I took like 20 pictures.

An interesting day out with Jordan:)

2009-02-04T10:09:00.000-08:00

Well what do you do when you go to a shopping center with only maybe $15.00? Well of course you......

BUY 12 cent goldfish and take a quick nap......

SHOW some appreciation to the decorations.......

TEST the quality of the furniture,(and the shelves)

HAVE a killer puppet show.......

and TRY-ON the products........

Our only REAL purchase (besides the goldfish) was some starbucks frappucinos!!

So what do you do when you go to a shopping center with only maybe $15.00? Well of course you have to.....

MAKE MEMORIES!!!

how the time flys.....

2008-12-22T14:56:00.000-08:00

Well i havnt blogged in quite a while so here it is!

- I was made NJHS president of the combs chapter. My vice-president is a good friend of mine named kylie shull and we are ready to get this show on the road!
- Combs track and field 2008. Track started and ended. I was the captain of the 2008 team and we where amazing! i ran alot of races including the 1 1/2 mile. plus i high jumped! this year we decided on a crazy t-shirt that says "hot like your mom" on the front. so our chant was hot like your mom. too bad we had a few bad sports who refused to join the team cheer when we said that. Way to have a sense of humor guys!!
- sandman became cool again in our little group of people around here!

im sure alot of other stuff has happened but i am losing patience..

For example: the other day i went to pick up katys friend clara who is also 7 was so excited to tell katy that she could finally ride a two wheeled bike and that little tawny leaned over to me and said with a smirk "so can i!" and katy being the crazy girl she is is obsessed with getting money so today she asked dreew if he would pay her and the neighbor kids to clean his room and when he offered 50 dollars for the whole rest of the year she said yes! of course that was just a joke and that will NEVER happen! Then today i came into my moms room and there where katy and tawny SURFING THE WEB! are you kidding! well i thought that it was hilarious so here they are!

oh my goodness!

2008-03-30T17:50:00.000-07:00
i havnt posted since march eigth! theres just nothing to blog about!
i have been in sort of a slump and theres alot that has made me pretty mad lately!

* SINGLING ME OUT-i like getting good grades and i like that i dont have problems with my teachers but seriously i dont want to be the teachers pet.....again!! my reading teacher has made it a point in our class to announce that i got the highest score on a test then the next thing you now people are yelling "dork,teachers pet, suck up!" seriously i dont like that!
*DEDICATION-when people make a dedication to your team or group then you expect them to keep that comittment right? well then why did my variety show get cancelled? why did 6 girls show up to softball pictures, on a twelve girl team? why did only four girls show up to the parade? each one of these questions are answered with the simple phrase, I DONT CARE!
* SOFTBALL- i love to play softball but i hate losing this is two years in a row that my softball team has been screwed to the max! last year 6/12 girls where first years {or newbys} this year i was on a great team that was guaranteed to win it all! then after 3 weeks of practice, i was switched to a new team, a new coach and a whole new season! there is no dedication, girls just dont care we had 4 girls for opening day parade and 6 for pictures! the coach didnt even show up for pictures! noone wanted to be the tam mom so one of the players is the team mom! we have had six practices and the season begins this week!

i dont mean to just complain alot but seriously this has been on my mind non-stop since tuesday!

flashback.

2008-03-08T08:03:00.001-08:00

wekk this isnt of me but it is somme people i didnt even really know at the time and they have all become really close to me now. this picture was taken about two years ago at a ward party.

poems!

2008-03-07T18:57:00.000-08:00
ok so i guess no one knows that i love to write poetry so now i am gonna publish a few select items!

The Torch
the torch we wear, on our necks,
is so very special.
It is a flame, a flame of red and yellow.
It represents the light shining through us everyday,
the light that means come follow me ill help youon your way.
It dosnt mean were better,
then people without this charm,
it just meansthat we like to show that we are shining stars.

Fairy Tale Life
Hocus pocus
bipity bopity boo.
A fairytale life,
do you want one to?

cinderella or snow white?
Im ok, thats alright.

rapunzel or sarafina?
No, but i would like to meet her.

how about Fiona, Shreks lovely bride?
thats ok ill step aside.

Then you ask me, "how come."
then i say "are you dumb?"

ciderella becomes a queen,
queens sometimes are awfully mean.

snow white lives with seven little men.
i dont want seven i want about ten!

rapunzel has really long hair.
what a weakness, i wouldnt dare.

sarafinas a barbie doll.
plastic teeth, eyes, and all!

Fiona lives in a swamp!
in the mud, oh how raunch!

id like to be spoiled sometimes,
but as you see,
these fairy tale lives, just arnt for me!

what, that to?

2008-03-07T18:34:00.000-08:00
Ok so alot has been happening laately and i am just gonna try and cover it all.
(sorry)
softball started and i was on the juniors sun devils and had been practicing for two weeks then after practice one saturday i got a call that told me on was to be moved to an expansion team! then finally about TWO weeks later i finally get a call from my NEW COACH! she said that we had practice the next... day! i was not able to go but we also had practice on thursday and my mom and i saw a team practicing on the soccer fields and my mom says "is that your team?" and i reply "it used to be!" so i went to my practice and the coach is really nice and all of the girls are to and we arnt half bad we had a pretty basic practice ya know, infield, popups, bunting, then no practice is complete without a relay race so now i have pratice from 8:00-10:00 oclock at night!

i watched a really great movie called "apollo 13" i swear it was ao awesome!!

i re wrote part of the song from willy wonka. ya know the "oompa loompa song" but sadly i wrote it in social studies about paning for gold and so it wasnt a very interesting song but i did get 30 bonus points for it and my group only got twenty because they didnt... SING IT IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS! i did!

i wrote a poem called "the torch" about the young women medallion and read it at young women new beggings and my mom said "that was so good, i didnt know you wrote poetry!" wow i should probably be more open about school i guess cause i always write poetry!

i wrote a poem called "fairy tale life" i shared this poem with my favorite teacher "MRS.ANDERSON!!!!!!!!!!! who replied right as she finished reading it,"this needs to be published!!"

i saw 10,000 B.C. (marly, greg, sydney,josh, bro. peterson.)(which i totally reccomend) i saw it today(friday) the opening day and strangely there where about umm 30 people in the theatre! then i had some awesome pizza at SBARROS the only problem was that we found peanuts on our pineapple pizza (say that five times fast.) then josh and greg stupidly decided to dump a whole bag of red peppers in there mouths! then thought that water would help so yeah they where dying and josh was so dying that we had to stop at gregs gandma and grandpas house to get milk!

i just got home and yeah my foot is having spasms! that usually only happen in my thighs! they hurt so bad at times that i cant even walk!!!!!

all and all i have had a stellar week!

flashback....thursday!

2008-02-28T15:50:00.000-08:00

well this isnt to far back but alot has changed. note the hair! last year i died my hair brown! yes i know i sort of regret it! also look how long it is! and remember this is only last summer since then i cut it into a layered shoulder length style and now i have a very short layered bob cut! i love it!!!
and soon one more thing will change.....for the second time!
did you guess it, i am getting contacts...again!

Need a babysitter?

2008-02-26T16:51:00.001-08:00
I love to babysit and would love to work for you! I am certified in CPR and first aid. I am thirteen and have five brothers and sisters so i know a little about kids. You can even ask a few of the people I babysit for, sis.Skinner,sis.Burnette,sis.Topol,sis. Flake, sis.Olsen,and of course, my mom, sis. Johnson. I have had baysitting classes and did a personal progress project on children. i have babysat a whole nursery full of kids during enrichment with two other babysitters that werent even there most of the time. I will give baths if needed. i will change diapers if needed. For those of you who run and need a babysitter at 5:30 in the morning on a saturday, im your girl! I have babysat early in the morning, and have babysat so late that i had to spend the night at that persons house. I have babysat babys and toddlers and i am just fine doing it again. I love pets! I have no problem if you have pets and i am not allergic to anything. i dont have a going rate for payment so whatever you think i deserve is good with me. Also i will clean houses so even if you dont need a babysitter but you need your house cleaned call me!

well i am not gonna put my contact info because if you have no way of contacting me you probably dont know me so you probably shouldnt be reading my blog!

so it was valentines day and it was about 9;00 oclock and i had just gotten back from softball practice and i was upstairs reading my scriptures when the doorbaell rang. i waited for a second, not wanting to get up but i did. vance beat me to the door and when he opened it he saw greg peterson. vance of course was mean and slammed the door in gregs face and said "marly, its for you" so i started wlking towards the door (punched vance in the stomach) and opened the door. there was greg, laughing and holding a big teddy bear that was holding a heart thet says "be mine" it was also holding a rose. he gave me a hug then went on his way and i slowly closed the door and when i thought he was far enough away i SCREAMED! i was so happy!

so here is my falshback for the day this is fifth grade, we went on a field trip to san diego, california seaworld, birch aquarium,the beach mcdonalds and a really cool restraunt called the food court! and of course the hotel room! my dad went with me and it was alot of fun the kid with a funny smile is colby and the chinese looking kid is nathan we all used to be best freinds ever! i mean we had fghts like the time i told colby i liked him and he said eww! i only like pretty girls! we fought for a few days then cooled down a bit!

now they have there own friends and i have mine we hardly ever talk nathan and i do sometimes but i havnt talked to colby since the beggining of the year and he hangs out with people i would never want to hang out with!

maybe there is a reason that they avoid me, maybe i just stink! anyways i dont think e will become great freinds ever again!

Burn baby burn!

Well on saturday i went to the dermatologist! she gave me something called retin-a and something called Duac! Well i think it is working but at the same time it is burningmy face feels like im setting it down on an oven rack! it also looks like i have a really bad sunburn! the whole program is:

week 1-2=skin may be irritated, red and itchy!
week 3-4=you will experience many breakouts and your skin will look worse then when you started!
week 4-6= you will see small improvements but still experience breakouts!
week 7-12= results!

so pretty much i have to go from bad to worse then bad! that is why it dosnt help many people because they get discouraged because there doctor dosnt tell them the plan! neither did mine but i did a llittle bit of research!

so if you see me and my horribly bad face please do not laugh!

SNAKES!

2008-02-07T05:08:00.000-08:00
This morning at about 5:30 i was woken up by tiny footsteps and tiny voices outside my door, my cousin had been spending the night while her mom is in the hospital, having the baby (finally). so the feet and voices get closer and closer until my door cracks open. i pretend that i am sleeping and afton comes in and whispers "marly" i answer "what" and sorta sit up. she gasps and runs out of the room to katy. they shut the door and i can hear them both breathing deeply. i open the door and they both gasp! then i hear them say "turn on the light" so i turn it on and see two little girls, i ask them what the matter is and katy says..."afton thinks she say a snake...can she sleep with you?" so i get the pull out bed and tell katy and afton to sleep on it. of course that wasnt good enough poor afton was still scared so in she crawls to my bed. Then every five seconds i hear "theres a snake!"or "what is that." then about five minutes later from in katys room i hear a very scared "hello?" of course just my luck tawny had woken up! she had been left in the bed alone and it was still dark! so katy ran into the room and brought a very scared and shooken tawny into my room to join katy on the pull out bed! If any one has ever laid down next to tawny when she was sleeping then you know that she snores like a hog!so finally i stood up off the bed and said "go to sleep i am going to get ready for school!" so i leave and now i am writing to my blog! at 6:20 am!
