Day 14 - Adventure

My Story for the Day


Adventure - An unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity (mine wasn't too hazardous)


My mom wanted me to get out today. I usually stay at home even when I have the car. So, today she wanted me to go somewhere and do something. That's what I did.


First, I went to JCPenney cause I received a gift card from someone. It was kinda of frightening for me cause I don't really like to drive. There was this big truck next to me and then there was an instance where this car got into a turning lane but it turned too soon so then it got right back in my way!! 


While I was there I saw a good friend that had graduated before me. Her name is Jessica just like mine. When she called out my name I instantly recognized her voice. In the back of my mind I was slightly wondering how she was doing. She worked at the store. Told me that the blue tags were marked down. I'm so glad she did. I got 3 shirts for half the original price. :D I also got some pants.


After checking out, I went to see if they had an Auntie Anne's... they didn't. I was disappointed and even more heartbroken when I bought a cinnamon sugar pretzel from a Mr. Pretzel. I thought surely they will still taste pretty good. Nope. It tasted very bread-y. I ended up not being able to eat it all and just liked the cinnamon off of it. Cinnamon is sooo good people. lol


I then left the mall cause there was barely anybody there and I didn't want to browse (cause I really didn't want to be there in the first place). I decided I was going home and only 11 am. I started like at 10. (lame right.) But my adventure doesn't end there. I was exiting and then decided I wanted to go to Barnes & Noble but I was in the wrong lane so I had to keep straight into this food section. It had about 2 or 3 restaurants in it but no way to get to the other stores that were near by including the book store I wanted to go to. I ended up turning around and going out the same way I came in. This took a few mins to figure out. :/


I reached the book store. Went in and was greeted by this lady selling nook tablets. It was funny. I had stopped in the entrance and was looking at this dog book. She probably thought I was older because when I finally opened the second door into the place she smiled but you could totally see the realization that I was not going to be a customer. It was hilarious. If only I could explain it better. Oh well...


I roamed around. Noticed the free Wi-fi on the door and started checking my instagram feed. I couldn't check very long cause all of a sudden it stopped refreshing. Great I thought. I roamed around a bit more jumping from programming to recipes to the Christian section. 


Browsing through the books was quite fun. I thought about buying several things but realized I could get a better deal on amazon or half price books. *sighs* I left there and called my mom to ask her where I should go... anywhere that's new. I saw petsmart and went over there. They had cats!!! (I'm currently wanting one...but can't afford a precious thing).


There were toys all over the place and I wondered if I should get her anything. Everything was expensive and I didn't have a membership there. Scratch that. I left the store empty handed. 


The last place I visited was Mardel's. Right as I walked in I realized how deserted it was. O.o I could here my shoes making noises when I came in. I went straight to the CD section. After I listened to some demo CDs I soon found  a CD by Lindsay McCaul. Love it!! :D


That was pretty much it. There was more that happened later. Just to name a few things, got my dog wet and she brought mud/dirt inside, messed up my mom's computer(soon got that resolved thankfully, I nearly cried...), and went out to the store at close to midnight to buy some ice cream.


Thanks for reading my really long story. ;)


God bless you all.

Day 9 - A Looong Weekend

Saturday 


Stayed up late. Like till 2 or 3am even though I knew I had to get up pretty early. Had to get up at 8am but I had my alarm set for 7 and 7:30am.

Went to this bible study thing that was far away. When my mom and I finally got there. It was kinda nerve racking. I had a headache before we arrived. I felt annoyed and agitated. Then as the bible study thing started. This lady Dr. J was talking about 9 gifts we can be given. I was trying to stay awake. It was soo hard. My head was still hurting like crazy. It lasted from 10:30am - 1:30pm.

They had lunch but there wasn't anything my picky self could really eat. I was stuck with watermelon (and I don't even like that stuff), chocolate cake (which was kinda funny tasting), and a cowboy cookie (I love cookies but this one was just weird...nuts and maybe peanut butter idk but I don't ever want a cowboy cookie again)

Overall, I did learn somethings but I just made the really awful mistake of staying up late.

Sunday


HA, I stayed up late again but not as late only till around 12:30 then I went to bed. Was going to go to church but super tired so my mom and I just watched it online. Steve Alessi spoke at our church and had a really good message.

After church ended around 10:30am. I went and laid down for a while. After that we went walking at 12 (stupid but I really needed to get out of the house). Ate some leftover pizza then my mom wanted to go to two Half Priced Bookstores. We stayed in this big one for hours and I soon got tired of being there. I kept hinting to my mom that I was ready to go and we finally left.

Then we planned on going to Red Lobsters. I haven't eaten there in forever!! Anyways, my food was good, but my mom didn't like her food very much. I had Have it your way. Which I had scampi shrimp, crispy shrimp, and baked potato.

Hmmm this blog post didn't really happen the I wanted to... I guess just kinda rushing through what happened. XD

Well, thanks for reading.

God bless.

Day 7 - Getting Things Organized

What I've Been Up To


  • Looking for a job
  • Applying to scholarships
  • DeviantART - (My Account)
  • Hanging out with friends
  • Going to a conference at my church
This piece is called You Are For Me which is the name of the song by Kari Jobe that I got the inspiration for. Enjoy!

I went to the mall today with my best friend and then another friend and it was the first time we had all hung out together. The time was kinda awkward at first but then we were all able to laugh, catch up, and remember the first time we met in English 1.

There is another day of worship for the conference at my church but I'm not sure I'm going... I want to but I'm tired and my mom isn't going most likely so I might just watch it online. (I know that's not the same feeling as being there.)

Well, you might have noticed that I haven't written anything for a couple of days. HA Though, I've thought about my blog everyday. That's slightly the problem. I will think about what I'm going to write but then since I've thought it up so nicely in my mind I become lazy and don't want to type it up and get sidetracked on DA for a bit. Never coming back to writing on here. 

Song of the Day 

I may start doing this every once in a while. Where I post a YouTube video that I am listening to all day. I love YouTube, just not the Ads they love having on every video now. :/


Have a wonderful day and God bless.

  • Watching Burn Notice when it comes on!!
So that is just a bit about me. Probably going to make another post with a digital art piece...

Mini Story

I stayed up till 4 in the morning yesterday. Which is not the norm at all for me. I wanted to keep my mom company as she browsed the internet on Pinterest. I even watched a show called Fairly Legal. (I dislike the show but still watch it to find out what's happening and will it get better.) I stayed up even though I knew I needed to follow up on a job for 10am. Luckily, God was with me (as He always is) and even though I kept pressing snooze on my alarm and eventually turned it off. He got me up at 9:30 and I left the house at 10: 10 or so. Not bad cause I didn't have to drive far. The follow up went well and it didn't take but a few minutes. Now I'm back at home and about to go to my favorite site. 

Have a great day and God bless.
