just life. :)

I'm sitting here enjoying a delish turkey sandwich. 

Just thought I'd mention that in case any of you might think it interesting. ^_^ 

I wrote a kinda weird story about a dream I had the other night and thought about posting it....Maybe I will someday. Just for fun. 

I'm looking forward to the rest of this week and the beginning of next. 

Tomorrow night is church. 

Thursday My brother and sister-in-law are moving (we're helping) and we're packing for our four day vacation at Gramma's. 

Friday is orchestra all day. I'm going to be helping at the book tables with data entry. Should be interesting. :) After orchestra we're heading outta town down into Arkansas to stay at Gramma's wonderful house until Monday. 

I don't think we really have anything planned for those days, just chillaxing. Maybe some hiking, swimming, trips to the lake, staying up too late, and having a great time. 

I adore Gramma's house. I have since forever. It's always been one of my favorite places in the world. And I'm going to be taking zillions of pictures so be prepared! I can't wait. 

We're coming back Monday evening. 

There's a few other things going on the week  we get back, I think, then the week after that is the beginning of school. *sigh* LAST YEAR!! This is my last year! Hallelujah! lol. I'm reallyreally looking forward to finishing highschool. I can't believe I'm already a Senior though! Life goes by so fast. :) 

Anywho, This is kinda a worthless post, but oh well. :) 

You wanna laugh?

I love how a picture taken completely out of context can be so dang hilarious. hehehe. 

love Tangled. so cute. And this is true. lol. 

Oh, You know that's right. ;) <3 

!! *O.O* !!

<3 <3 Have a fantabulous week, you guys! <3 <3

lyrics Thursday...

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? 

Just like me, they long to be close to you...

Why do stars fall from the sky every time you walk by? 

Just like me, they long to be close to you...

On the day that you were born the angels got together 

And decided to create a dream come true. 

So they sprinkled moondust in your hair

and golden starlight in your eyes of blue...

That is why all the girls in town follow you all around.

Just like me, they long to be close to you...

Close to you.

These lyrics were running circles in my head as i was sitting here trying to think of something to write about...I love this song a lot.
Anywho, I decided that I'll try to post lyrics on Thursdays. just of whatever song is in my head. :) It might not be every Thursday, but gotta start somewhere right? The pictures are just what I love, whether or not they actually pertain to the song. anyways, I hope you enjoyed these lyrics as much as I do. <3
'til next time,

Questions from Caitria:

If you could do only one more thing before you died, what would it be? 

Cait, dear. This is a morbid question. Why would one want to think about what one would do right before one died?! hehehe. okies. I'm teasing you. um. I dont' know. honest. Nothing I can think of feels like enough. lol. :P 

What is your favorite place in the world?

ONE PLACE? oh dear. idk. Where the people I love are! If they're there, I'm good. I don't like being by myself. :) 

Can you breath with your tongue sticking out? 

nope. 

Now put your tongue back in. Ice cream or cheese cake? 

Doughnuts. oh, that doesn't count? ok.

Usually cheese cake. 'specially if it's chocolatey. 

What was your first memory?

my first very clear memory would probably be staying home from church one Wednesday night (haven't a clue how old I was...) and Mum making milk shakes and us all watching cartoons before bedtime. <3 good times. <3

Stuffz I Love to death.

My Mum laughs at me a lot because I always use phrases like "Cutest I've ever seen, Comfiest I've ever worn, Handsomest In the world, Beautifulest ever made, awesomest on the planet, ect.," :D She's like, "you've seen three of the cutest things you've ever seen in the last 10 minutes." hehe. yeah. I'm like that. Anywho, Here are a few totally frivolous things that I "love absolutely to death" even though I never really would die for most of them. ;) lol.  enjoy! 

Coral Reefs. Never saw one with my own eyes in real life before, but I will. Someday. They're so stunning. I've been fascinated by them for as long as I can remember. 

(yes, I know that's not a real picture. but it's stunning anyways.) 

These movies. BEST EVER MADE!!!!!!! (only I'm not exaggerating here. I really love them more than any other movie ever.) Oh gosh. lol. I just adore them. We watch all of them every year on my birthday. It's been a tradition for....several years now. <3 <3  I'm in love with Captain Jack Sparrow.

pretty much all of that....'cept, I'm not fond of that shirt with this outfit. Maybe with the jacket over it...

mm-hm. Pretty much perfect! ^_^ <3 <3 

This is *so* pretty! I am in love with the idea. 

This picture...just 'cause. It's loverly. 

The Doctor, of course! :D lol. <3 That quote is fantastic too. 

Converse.com. It's amazing. I could spend prolly hours on that site. <3 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's zillions more things that I could list, but we won't today 'cause I wanna get some pictures edited and such before I have to get off this computer. <3 

What are some of your favorite things?

{P.S. the weather today is so beyond gorgeous. I can't even believe it feels like this in AUGUST! it's 69 degrees out and all clouded over and breezy. It's amazing. we have all the a/c off and the windows and doors open. <3 <3 }

{P.P.S. I ws supposed to be off sugar today....but I'm sitting here with piles of pound cake topped with strawberries and cool whip. Could this day get any better??? <3}

Last Night's Post. :P

It has been a craaazyyy week so far. I'm extremely tired. ^_^ 

Tuesday was some kind of election....like something primaries or other....I don't know. lol. I'm horribly ignorant when it comes to politics. An' since I'm not old enough to vote yet I don't mind staying that way since I find them incredibly dull...

Anyways, there were several Watch Parties that we were invited to after the elections. We went to three. :D I had fun at all three. Met a lot of new people and laughed a lot. If you want to know more, see my sisters blog as I'm too lazy to write it all down. lol. they were funfun though.

After the parties, my older sister, Jo, invited Jonni and me to go to her house to hang out. 

Wednesday was fun. It involved The Mall, Chipotle (yum), an old movie, Hangin' with my Sisters, and church in the evening. good day too. Wednesday night I went over to My sister-in-law, Toni's, house to keep her company becuase her hubby (my bro.) is out of town and it's creepy all alone at night. :D 

I've been home most of today. It's been lovely. This morning, when mum picked me up we had a few errands to run, but I've been home since early this afternoon. I got a shower, twisted my hair up, stuck my earbuds in with some quiet music and settled down to read the Princess Bride. :) I was contemplating a nap at one point when sis walked in and announced that I needed to watch some Dr. Who so that I would be cuaght up with the rest of the fam when we watch it tonight. no problem. ;) lol. so, I'm exhausted. 

This pos tis prolly really boring. lol. It's boring me. Oh well, I've written too much to erase it now....

Have you ever read The Princess Bride??? if you haven't, you absolutely must. I'm *not* a big reader. Anyone that knows me knows that. I don't care much for reading. but seriously, this book is amazing. I started it yesterday morning and I've nearly finished it already. I haven't laughed so much at a book since I read the Big Friendly Giant (BFG) for the first time. :D

yeah...signing off before this gets any boringer. <3 

goodnight bloggie friends!

{Rachel}

{P.S. I wrote this last night and was about to post when I lost the internet. :P so, here it is this morning. lol. <3}

Random Thinkies.

My beautiful New Nephew got to come home from the hospital this week! He's so precious I can hardly stand it. ^_^ It was wonderful to finally get to hold him. <3 

I'm really trying to grow my hair out this year....I want it long. I haven't had long hair in YEARS. I love it short. or rather, medium length. That haircut in the above picture was my fave EVER. *sigh* I'm having a hard time not getting it again. lol. It was sooooo layery and almost punk. best ever. I don't like that picture very much...hm. oh well. My hair is longer now than it has been in a very long time. I know I want it long, but I miss my crazy shorter layered to death haircuts. I dunno if I can hold out much longer. hehe. 

The weather has been loverly the past few days. *much* cooler than it has been. And, we did get rain! A great big legitimate thunder and lightning storm. It was wonderful! One of the dead trees that was in our yard got knocked over....that was kinda scary considering there's a few next to the house and I'd rather not have trees falling on us...anyways. The highest tempereature in the forecast this week is only 97!! *yes* It's been nice to have some under 100 degree days. 

Orchestra starts up next Friday. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! :D I love orchestra and I've missed it so much over the Summer! Plus, that means back to a job and back to some $$! I've been so broke allll Summer. Can't wait to be rich again. lol. :P and, I get private violin lessons this year!! *squeal*!! I haven't had them in years and I'm really looking forward to it. That means some solo music to practice finally!! funfunfunfunfunfun. ^_^  

'Laina is infatuated with the great big Johnny Depp face on my t-shirt. hehe. It's the Mad Hatter so it's very bold with great big beautiful green eyes and a big hat. It's a fantastic shirt. annywho, yeah. :D 

Happy Tuesday! <3 <3
