Dysania

listening to: Drink the cleansing rain by Sonya M. Trinidad
quote love: The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing. -Blaise Pascal

*yesterday*

 Me: Mom. I can't go to school today. I have Dysania, it's awful.

Mom: uh, what's that?

Dysania-

      The state of finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning

I had to do school any way. *sigh*

Something else that happened yesterday- Holly was testing out her hand writing, and she wrote this on the dry erase board-

Hey. You know how when you read something and it's supposed to be talking to you, whoever is reading this? Ya, and you know how you kind of make up a voice in your head that belongs to the text your reading that's supposed to be talking to you? You know you do it! How does my voice sound to you? :)

bahaha, ya that's what it's like living with Holly x)

 It's a beautiful drizzling rain weather outside. (um not helping my dysania) It's gorgeous! oh camera, why you no water proof?

Picture by me, quote by Sonya Trinidad. Of course I just have to listen to drink the cleansing rain. She has such a beautiful voice! And oh this wonderful fall weather.

Fall is coming a little too slowly here.

I'm just a little impatient for it to get here, with all its wonderful fall delights

rain+blanket+jeans+tea in an eeyore cup= the most heavenly fall day.

oh, did you know? I have newspaper nails *Thank you Rachel!*

I did these a few days ago so they're a little chipped in the picture, *cringe* but i love them. How about you?

You'll need:

   -white or light gray nail polish

   -rubbing alcohol

   -cotton balls

   -newspaper clippings a little bigger than your nails

   -a sealing coat nail polish

Paint your nails white or gray and let them fry er, dry completely (i always like to do one of my nails differently)

Once they're dry, soak one of the newspaper clippings in rubbing alcohol. I found the best way to do this was to soak the cotton ball, and then use it to soak the newspaper.

Place the newspaper on your nail and hold it there for around twenty seconds. make sure your pressing hard on all edges of your nail (so don't just let it sit like in the picture!)

Once it seems it has dried onto your nail, quickly rip it off (like a band-aid!). Then apply the top coat. When I did mine, it just seemed like there was paper on my nail, but after I put the top coat on it was fine.

And that's it ^.^

my access to the internet has been very limited lately, so that is why my posts are flowing like tar, in case you were wondering. Not to mention school. oh good old homework, you know I didn't really mean it when I tossed you in the air and did a little dance last may... Why must you be so hard this year? but I think I deserve a good grade in PE. We went hiking on Sunday, two miles up the winding mountain trail, and we kept up with the people on horses. I think that gets me an A yes? of course yes.When the trees opened up, and we reached the top I may or may not have started singing "and at last I see the light...!"

some pictures taken by me, and some by mom

It was unbelievably gorgeous at the top. Some pictures just don't do justice.

One day I will *somehow* take an old piano up here and just play for hours and hours- starting with Echo off the sky. Magical.

And on the way down i picked a bouquet ^.^

ttfn lovelies <3

everything changes

I apologize ever so much that my blog was off line. I didn't think it would be neglected so long- but the long overdue new design is done, I now have a lovely side header, and I'm taking a new turn in the blogging world. I am, however, stuck on a few things. I can't get rid of my blog title *head/desk* and I would really like to have one of those nifty drop down menus in my side bar, but I can't find out how exactly, 'cause that's just how smart I am. Can anyone help me? please? Ya, I'm broke, but how about I just love you forever? Will that do?
My posts are probably going to start changing. I'm going to do more photography again (is anyone else happy about that?!)

*ahem* ya, i am working on my photography skills don't worry! But I'll do a lot more writing too. I usually don't like sharing things I write (even though I love to write), but I'm willing to give it a try. Just try to be nice when I fall on my face k?
And another thing- book reviews. I think it would be fun, but would anyone really be interested in that? Let me know your thoughts, especially if you have any other ideas on what you would like to see posted on my little blog here!
Oh, and I think you should watch this video. really.

I'm back

This is what I did this past week and a half-

I went to Florida

Yup. Can't get much better than that :) Fun fact- It was freezing. It was actually very nice outside, but I was inside most of the time. Where they had air conditioner. Very high. So, it was cold ;)
It was amazing either way. I met some great friends, learned a lot, and laughed too much for my own good.

I caught a cold

I have to be honest. It's not fun. *a-choo/sniff* This was a kind of down part of the week ;)

I bought red heels

oh yes. This, I am happy about :)

I got a calligraphy pen

Hey, they're pretty cool to write with k? Not to mention cool looking. ya, I'm a nerd. sue me.

My phone died

I mean, it's like dead. Sam is dead. Sam is my phone, and he's dead. This might be the saddest part of the week.

I was given a red umbrella for my birthday

oh ya, did I mention it was my birthday? :D I'm pretty happy about that also.
so now I have red heels and a red umbrella. Can life get any sweeter? Answer: yes. If you have cookie dough ice cream. which i did :)

I got on Pinterest

Well, that's half true. you need a facebook for pinterest. I do not have facebook. so I'm sharing with someone else, and i just have one board for all my pictures. you should see it. please?

I read Abomanation

I love Colleen Coble's books (i have read three). Great plot twists and wonderful characters.  I also started reading: Pride and prejudice, Wuthering Heights, and A Man called Blessed

I started school

*sigh* yes, unfortunately. Summer is over and it's back to highschool :P

Lots of up and downs this week, but overall, it was lovely. So tell me, (because i would like to know) what have you been doing?

okloveyoubye
