Here's my post. Yesterday consisted of:
Burning paper edges for my New Beginnings project (we're making scrolls for invitations)
Taking pictures of Nikol in a turkey costume around town
Being in a turkey picture
going to Lucky with Krista and Audrey for no reason
playing Singstar with Audrey
DADGETTINGHOME!
Hmmm... I think that about covers it. I'd write more but church starts soon and I have to finish getting ready.

Today was my first BYC meeting as a president. Well- not really. I'm not actually president. They haven't set me apart yet. Hmph. I was very grumpy today. When sacrament meeting was over, I went to Sunday School, and Ashlyn wasn't there again. Just Peter and Ryan. And the teacher wasn't there yet, so there was dead silence when I entered. You know how people always say deacons are rowdy and loud? Well, wrong. I finally had to start blabbing, and finally Peter joined in the conversation about how he loved Body Worlds. Then the teacher came in. Phew.
So I was fine through Sunday School, but during Young Womens I was STARVINGGG because I had slept in that day until 9:30 and Sister Holt was picking me up at 10 for BYC so I was basically a mess and didn't eat very much.
The lessons were very good though and I could easily apply them to my life right now. Good job, teachers!

Only One of the Best Songs Ever!

This is dedicated to you, Nikol! =) Pahaha. Gotta love this song.

By 'this song' I mean Must Have Done Something Right by Relient k.

I put on my pants inside out today. Haha, smarts.

Swing Dancing

I am ashamed of myself. I cannot believe I forgot to write about my night swing dancing. Well. It's kind of hard to write about it without going on and on about all the people I danced with. I just tell you the highlights.
Well, the night didn't start out very well. As soon as we walked in, the scary looking guy dressed in all black asked me to dance. Wah. It was funny to dance with him however, because he frowned the whole time while we were dancing to this upbeat happy song.
I got to dance with 'Big-Headed Boy' who was one of my favorites, and the 'Spinny Guy' who was this old man who spins you the whole time.
But I have to say- my ultimate favorite was Maris. He was this black guy who totally got into the music. It was funny, because instead of coming up to me and asking me to dance, he kind of just dragged me off without my permission and started dancing. Yeah, he was confident. But he had a reason to be. I thought he was good. But then again, I don't have very good judgment 'cause I'm a newbie. Oh well. He taught me a new move as well.
I also danced with the nondescript guy. He wasn't really nondescript, but I was trying to tell Nikol who he was, but I couldn't describe him and I couldn't remember his name, therefore gaining him the title of 'the nondescript guy'.
There was also a birthday circle and performances. The performances were good, but I think if I were in the birthday circle I would die. Simply because I wouldn't be able to handle all the eyes on me and my lack of swing dance knowledge.
There's more I'd like to write, but I'm sure you don't want to here about every single dance, so I'll spare you.

New Beginnings

I'm starting to really focus on Personal Progress more. I'm starting a 10-hour project. I get to plan our next New Beginnings. And guess what? It's Princess themed! Yay. That makes me so happy, I just couldn't turn it down.
Anyway, I'm really excited. I'm gonna make a castle cake and make banners, and make everything pretty and pink. One thing I'm not looking forward to too much is painting three castles on cardboard. With acrylics. I am not a fan of acrylics, but painting it with oils would definitely be a unwise move.
I need ideas for handouts. I wanted to give out a crown to each girl coming in, but I can't do that. (For a secret reason I can't tell anyone. ;D ) So any ideas would be great.
Eee!
Excitement!

That is one big tumbleweed!

Today was most interesting. Our family went outside to do yard work together and we took out this HUGE weed. Dad had to chop it up into little pieces. And with what? Why, Amy's machete from Brazil of course! It was a great sight to see. When we filled the truck with the whole weed, it filled the whole truck plus one or two feet. First, Mom had to sit on it, and then Dad started jumping on it. And I actually got a picture- and video- of it!
Karmen seemed to enjoy all the time with us as well. She was jumping all over the place following us everywhere.

Nikol and Me

I loved that tumbleweed.

Go, Dad!

Karmen and Me

And of course- the video of Dad jumping. I know some of you are thinking "So what? He's just jumping..." But this video makes me happy. 'Cause it's Dad jumping. Sorry that it's in black and white. I forgot to change the settings before I took the video.
Yay for tumbleweeds.

Color Code

Yesterday I went puddle jumping with Andrea and Nikol. I got soaked all the way up to my waist with gutter water. Lovely.
I took to color code test today. I got a red-white. The second hardest combination to get. My dominate color is white. It really fits me. Here's what the book says about red-whites:
"Red-White combinations are difficult to read because they can be aggressive and determined one minute (Red), then quietly passive the next (White). If you fit this category, your guiding motive is power and peace. You are likely to be misunderstood because your behavior is inconsistent, and you don't easily allow others to figure you out."
White fits me most because it says people that are white tend to have a silent stubbornness about them, and can be very indecisive at times. They enjoy listening to others, but can often be very unmotivated.
So I've decided- since I'm Red-White, aren't I technically pink?
Yay, pink! =)

Updated Celebrity Look-Alike

Here's my outcome of the celebrity look alike thing. I do have some similar people in there, but it's a little different.
