I shall be quite busy today running errands, doing laundry, tidying my room, getting ready to go home, and preparing for the mother of all sleepovers. :) Here are some songs that were very important for one reason or another this year:

1. Coachella- Brooke Fraser

Yesterday I had one of those days that remind you why life is good. I didn't do anything fancy like win a million dollars, or backpack across Europe, but it was a nearly perfect day.

I woke up, showered, and put on the outfit I had picked the night before. After examining it in the mirror, I decided I didn't like it anymore, but rather than telling myself how awful it looked and that nothing looked good on me, I changed and that was that! This is groundbreaking stuff people!

I had a really good session with my counsellor in the afternoon. The minute I walked in she noted that I seemed perkier for some reason, but she couldn't pin why. And she even noticed my haircut even though she hasn't seen me in weeks! We talked about my family. We talked about school and where I'm living. We talked about how I'm doing. Then she randomly asked, "What do you like about yourself?". This is not a question that has not been posed to me before, however I've never been able to answer it. Until yesterday. Also, she helped me possibly find a job for the fall which is awesome! And then the nice receptionist gave me this random little strawberry candy. And I love me some strawberries.

Then I wrote my last final of summer session. It feels SO good to know that I'm DONE school for summer. 100% DONE. It also was pretty nice to find out I got an A- in my health class. No big deal.

Later, Ben and Lizzy picked me up and we went to Ben's house to hang out. It was SUPER hot outside. (over 30 degrees yo!) Lizzy collapsed upon arrival.
Then we made Ultimate Nachos. Ben is not a fan of chunky salsa. But he ate it like a big boy! Good job bestie!
We watched a movie, and then were invited to go hang out with the family down the street. So we did. The older kids played Bump in the driveway, but I opted to colour with chalk with their little sister.
 I like making friends with little kids. :) This is our joint drawing! It's a stickman from hangman. We each took turns drawing a little part in a different colour until we had a picture.
Then we walked across the street to the park and set up a volleyball net to play. It has been YEARS since I've played volleyball, and it definitely showed haha. Good thing we weren't playing with rules.
We played soccer until it was dark, and went for a slurpee run, and then went back to Ben's house where we played Donkey Kong Racing on the N64 (Legit enough for you?) and THEN....

Yo!

So... I guest posted over here: http://whereiseegod.wordpress.com/

Check it out! And then read the entire blog because it will make your day 1000000000 times better.

The end.

Mum: Hey, how are ya?
Me: Kinda sketched out...
Mum: Why?
Me: I think I just heard a gunshot in my neighbourhood....
Mum: Well, stay in the basement, and shut your window....
Me: Oh, I did. And I'm snuggled up in bed with my nerf gun.
Mum: Oh THAT'S great. Fend them off with FOAM! *laughs*
Me: Are you mocking me?!
Mum: *laughs*
Me: ....
Mum: Do you have hairspray?
Me: Somewhere...
Mum: Go get it and then spray it in their eyes! That stuff BURNS!
Me: Mom....
Mum: And then find a lighter...
Me: MOM!
Mum: What?! I'm just backing up your weaponry!

-Yesterday, my friend Ashley invited me to go on a trip with her to Fort Macleod for an antiques show. Obviously, I said yes! I love me some antiques! I came home with a lovely little necklace, and a surprise for the little sibs, and A RECORD PLAYER. Heck. Yes.

-Good ol' dad gave us quite the scare this morning... Apparently he woke up with a headache at the back of his head, weakness in his right side, and his face was kind of droopy, so Mum dropped the kids off at church and took him to the hospital. He's okay now, but holy man, what a way to spend Father's Day eh?

-I recently made a, uh... frivolous and totally unnecessary purchase that will help me accomplish one of the more random things on my Bucket List... Stay posted. (Bonus points to whomever can guess what it is!)

-There are two official days of summer school left this week, and two finals. I theoretically could be finished everything by Friday if I wanted to! WOO!

-Tonight I experimented again trying to use up all the groceries in my kitchen. Tonight's experiment? Peanut butter banana brownies. They're legit.
