My “New” Nose Job

Have you ever played with silly putty? I haven’t really, all my silly putty would get lost really fast, and therefore, I don’t know much about it. But today –while cleaning the downstairs- I found some. I think it’s Emily’s, but I don’t know for sure. Anyways, back on subject! After I found this silly putty, I wasn’t sure what to do with it, and Sarah needed me to come hold up the rug so she could sweep under it. And since I didn’t want to put it down –for fear of losing it- I stuck it on my ose! It stuck quite well actually (well for silly putty anyways). Once I was done helping Sarah, again I was left with the dilemma of where to put it so I wouldn’t louse it! In the end I just decided to shape it on my nose. (I’d worry with it later) After what seemed like an eternity, I was done. (it wasn’t that long a time, it just wasn’t easy to shape) Anyways I finished cleaning downstairs and had made it up stairs and taken a picture of my nose, when, -after my attempt of removing my new nose- I found that I had sweated underneath the silly putty! Some of the stuff was still on me! “Oh no!!!” I shrieked, giving it a good swipe in hopes it would just rub off fast. No such luck! I gave it one more good rub with my hand (just for good measure). Then I ran to the bathroom to try and wash it off. I just couldn’t stand the thought of having to go to church with that orange stuff in my nose! Scrub, scrub, scrub, my hands went over my nose. “Nothing!” I said, frustrated that just plan water wasn’t getting it off! Next I tried soap! Scrub, scrub, scrub, my hands went again, this time they got some of it off! After countless amounts of scrubbing and soap in my eyes and mouth, I got it all off! Who would have thought Silly Putty could be so much trouble?!

Note to self: Don’t put silly putty on your face ever again.

One nice thing that did come out of this mess was my nose is now really soft! Hum…Maybe I should try a full face mask next time….*shakes in terror* never mind! ;)

Randomness......

Random.....I'm not that random. I guess I'm normal. However, I was tagged by my sister-in-law for this radomness thingy. So I must come up with some random things about me!

1#: I pace when talking on the phone. Strange I know. But none the less I do. Sarah says I could win a marathon if they would let me have a phone and a friend on the other end! This would be true if they gave out prizes for distance not speed!

2#: When ever I see Sarah, and I've got nothing to say. I just blurt out of no where: "hello, would you like to polka?"! I have no idea why, I got the quote from veggie tails. (I wonder if Samuel has something to do with it???)

3#: I can not go anywhere without my purse. My purse is the one thing I will have with me at all times. 'Why' you might ask? Because my purse is no ordenairy purse. It is in fact a "Mary Poppins carpet bag"! It holds my whole room. So I never forget anything! :) Ok, I'm done feeding you a bunch of balony. Although it was rather fun seeing your eyes get big with amazement!!! lol!

4#: When I sleep I have to have noise. I have slept with a fan for most of my life. And they really aren't quiet things. So, I'm used to hearing nosie. And now it's gotten to where I have a hard time sleeping with out it!

5#: I never have my hair done the same way the whole day. I am always changing the style. Force of habit I guess.

6#: (and final) I walk on my toes! No I'm not training to be a ballerina. I have rolled-in arches. but when I was little no one knew. And because of that my only way to compensate for it was to not to walk on my heels. And to this day I still do it! But it has helped inprove my balance.

And there you have it...6# random things about me. Now I've done my duty, time to move on to more interesting things.
But not in this post!

Small Town!

If you ever think you ''have'' or ''are'' living in a small town, believe me when I say "your not"!!!! Because I'm going to name off some 'true' small town facts. Which I doubt you have ever experienced!

1#: You know you live in a small town, when on your way to Wal*Mart you happen to see about 3 motorized weelchairs going along side the road on their way to the grocery store to have breakfast. Which is also the local "little old men" hangout! (and yes Heidi they do all look like turtles) At least all the little old men who aren't in the nursing home.

2#: If you happen to go to the 'big church' in your small town, you will find that everyone knows you (whether you know them or not). And if you also happen to sing in the chior. You might have people come up to you in the grocery store, and tell you that they liked your singing. Never mind the fact you have NEVER seen this person in your life!

3#: When going to First Baptist, which is an OLD church. Everyone has assigned seating. But in order to get your own seat you must be there for at least 1 year. Because by then you have learned which seat belongs to whom (seeing as how it has not been written down, as of yet). But sometimes it can be easier. The person who's seat that you're in, may stare you down until you move! (it has happened before) So when someone is standing over you and glaring straight at you, it would be best if you move down!

4#: After church is over, DO NOT go to Wal*mart or Brookshire Brothers. For half of the church will be in one and the other half will be in the other! And if you ever wish to get home before you must return at 4:30 for choir practice, go straight home and don't stop until you get there. Because if you do stop at either of the stores, you will undoutedly get caught and will wind up standing there until it is time to return for choir!

Still think you live in a small town?! I don't think so! No, it is I who lives in a small town.

A Song

ok I was board, so I wrote a song. It's not real good. But it's a song! so try to enjoy it! :)

The Cry of My Heart

Vs. 1

The waters rage and, the storm begins. Lord, don’t leave me now, not until my journey ends. You know the cry inside of me, the one that longs for your mercy. When I stand alone, and the world starts to spin. I cry out for you, will you let me in?

Choirs

The cry of my heart, bringing endless praise to you. Come and cover me with your wondrous grace. Let the rain fall down, and wash away my fears. Wash away my tears. This is the cry of my heart.

Vs. 2

I can see the sun, dancing in the sky. Lord you let me see, you opened my eyes. You know my cry, you know my plea. My heart is empty, would you please set me free. I know your love’s unending, it’s been that way from the beginning. Repeat choirs. Vs.3 You heard my cry, you heard my plea. You came and rescued me, for all eternity. I’m forgiven now, because you died for me. You took my place, on that broken tree. I can never repay you, and yet you set me free. I’ll be your servant, if lord you’ll take me now.

Choirs

End of the month party!

Ok, so yesterday I had my four real BFF's over for a sleepover. The best one we have had in years!

We started out watching a 3-D concert of Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers. (It was pretty good) Then ate dinner, and decided to play dress up (teenager style)! We all got dressed up in different outfits.


Lauren: my brown dress that Heidi gave me.

Sadie: my Turquoise shirt, pink jacket and my white skirt from Heidi.




Ashlyn: my bridesmaid dress.


Me: my salmon shirt from heidi with my jean skirt and turquoise belt.

Ali: my red pock-a-dot skirt with a white poncho.

Sarah: my pink shirt with my pink skirt.

And of course as any good G.N.O. (girls night out) goes. You can never go to bed at a reasonable hour. This night was no exception. :) We started out just sitting in my parents bed. Which is where we would be sleeping. (mom and dad were down stairs in dad's office sleeping) After mom told us they were going to bed and we needed to bring the volume down a bit. So we just sat around and talked for a bit. Until we got hungery and went out into the kichen to eat some cinnamon toast, Banana's, pickels and smores. It was during this time that Ashlyn got her new nickname: Shoplifter! She would keep trying to steal Sadie's toast while she was eating it. And then moved onto Ali's smores, and everyone's pickels. Anyways we stayd up until 3 in the morning taking pictures and just goofing off!

The next moring: being a teenager does not make you mature!

The next morning we woke up at about 8:30, 8:45. (somewhere around there) Anyways, WE woke up. Slowly, but become awake we did. But as all morning's should start out, we started the day with laying around telling storys in little kid voices. And make up a song about how hungry we were but didn't want to get up to get food. (don't worry we did get up to eat, but only after we sang our breakfest song)

After breafest we went down stairs only to play about 9 rounds of an abridged version of Marco Polo. There was no "Marco Poloing" just walking around in our workroom (which is a good size for doing it) tring to catch people. As you may know we have a lot of freezers in there. Which at first glance they look like space eaters. (From the people paying the game's perspctive) but if you think about it they are the perfect place to hide. The main favorites were the up right freezers standing right next to each other. And a set of two up rigth freezers also right next to each other. We had so much fun playing that game. (the pictures from this game will be in the next post) ;)
