Tiny Watermelons && Rotten 'Maters.

I GOT PICTURES!!
BeforeAfter.






The best part of it is after you hit the watermelon, chunks go flying everywhere, and sometimes, if you're lucky, one'll land in your mouth!

Excuses, Excuses.

I know people use excuses all the time to get out of things, such as,
"I sprained my ankle." "I have to stay home and do chores." "My dog ate my homework." "I'm allergic to the doctor's office."
And my personal favorite, "It's against my religion."

And it really stinks that people abuse these excuses, because at times, they are not just words to get you out of things, but they are truths to explain why you can't do something. And when it's necessary to use them, and hope the other person will understand, they don't!! Because of all the idiots who just said it to get out of things.

Example: In fourth grade, I was doing my homework on the swing on my front porch, when it blew off into the front yard. Daisy, being a young pup, ran after it and tore it to shreds. I ran after her screaming but it was too late. So the next day I told my teacher my dog ate my homework. And she said that's the oldest excuse in the book. I said "Now Mrs. White, do you honestly believe I'd use that excuse if it wasn't true?" Come on now. Anyways I got a zero because of an excuse that had been abused.

Then today, I went to the doctor, only to find out, I'm alergic to the doctor's office! I went in, and I started sniffling, then sneezing. Then as soon as I left, I was better. And the doctor asked if I was sick, I said no, she said I must be allergic to the building, because it's old. And now my eyes are burning soo bad, and they have been for an hour. Needless to say, I never want to go back to the doctor again.

Now, in the words of Bill Clinton, "That`s not an excuse, but it is an explanation, and that`s the best I can do."

My Bucket List

The question was asked:

You are at the doctor's office and she has just informed you that you have cancer.

What do you do with your remaining days?
 

The question was answered:
~Skip school.
~Go to the lake as much as possible bringing as many people as possible.
~Go to Charlotte & visit my family.
~Waste money.
~Go to Frankies & jump off that bungy thing.
~Try to do a back flip off the diving board (even if it was winter.)
~Knee & wake board
~Go fishing with Tommy... maybe even play Halo.
~Go to NYC.
~Go to a day spa.
~Go test drive awsome cars at a dealership.
~Shoot some more skeet.
~I'd fill out my senior will, and tell them even if I was dead before the yearbook came out they better put it in there.
~If at any time I couldn't do any of these, I'd just relax. Chill with my friends, go visit them at school, bring 'em lunch.
~Oh and ofcourse I'd have cookies to last me until I died, cuz Mrs. Christie would feel bad for me.

 

 

Pickin Plants & Makin Money.

Yeahh BUDDY
I got me some money!

I been spendin my days working with Brielle, picking watermelons, beans, pea's, cantelope... then going out & selling them. Then we split the profit. 

But I haven't worked as hard as Bri so she, ofcourse, gets more. I'm just the extra help, with more profit than I deserve! 

It's a great job. The watermelons we "accidently" bust, we get to eat.

And today after pea's it started storming really bad, like tornado bad, and the electricity went out so we had to chill for a while w/o electricity, which is alright with us. 

We just brought out the rotten tomatoes and started playing baseball with them.

Then we played basketball with some watermelons. 

Of course that didn't last long, but when it busted we got to eat it. :)

Anyways.. now I'm looking for someone to go to Carowinds with. I got an extra day pass thing I need to use. Sooo ask around for me! Holla!

A Certain Black Blazer

So I got a comment a couple posts back saying they'd like to know more about "a certain black blazer."

Hmm.. what is there to know about this BLACK BLAZER?
Well, for starters, it's windshield wipers are broken. So I've learned to check weather.com before riding in it.

Also, it is often heard before seen. Not because it's breaking down, but because the driver or passenger is always honking the horn, just because.

Also, it's black.
Also, it's been known to be used to do crazy stuff, such as, riding on top of it while shooting skeet.



Also, it has a Carolina sticker on the back. Which makes it better.

Also, it often has extrememly loud music blaring out the open windows. It's not meant for old people to ride in.

Also, it's filled with memories.
It's pretty great... for a black blazer.

Everybody is livin it up...

Staying up late.

Waking up late.

Night Swimming.

The BIG MO.

Random trips to Aiken.

Awsome stories.

Inside jokes.

Hot Pockets.

The beach.

Tubing.

Volleyball.

BIRTHDAYS.

Working hard.

...Or hardly working.

Then I spent the night with Logan, & went home in the morning to get ready for my party with Erika. At my party we swam & played volleyball. Then we got bored & went to Pizza Stop. While we waited on our pizza, me & Sara got bored & got tattoos from the machine. Mine was Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus, a 2 for 1 deal. Then almost everyone left, & me, Sara, Logan & Erika went to Wal Mart & I spent my gift card. Then we went night swimming.

A Good Summers Day.

For the first time this summer, it actually felt like a good summer day today!!

It all started at midnight, when I was up eating pretzels and watching Miss Congeniality with Erika. Then we fell asleep and woke up at 3:00 am and called Brielle to wish her a happy birthday.

Then I woke up at 9:00 to the sound of my mother on the answering machine telling me to call her when I woke up. So I went back to sleep and woke up again at 9:30 to that same sound...
 

And to me, it can't be a good summer day unless it starts with me trying to avoid my parent's calls, because they always lead to chores.

BUT my mom doesn't usually stress over chores that much, as in calling me twice in one hour, so I called her back thinking it was important... and thank goodness I did, because it was! Brielle wanted to go to Frankies Fun Park for her birthday!!

YAY!! So obviously Erika and I woke up and went to Frankies. Me Erika & Brielle all together ended up with about 1200 tickets. So we all got like puddy, some sweet/sour spray, sticky aliens, army men... the usual. I got 13 army men, and we had a battle on the way home. Not a full out war, just a battle. (It was so worth the $90, let me tell you).

Can't touch this.

Anyways, then we went to the church softball games, and it's not summer without those.

And I got to see my other bff Logan, obviously enhancing the goodness of the day... then I got watermelon... then I laughed at Joey... then I went back to Brielle's and got home at 10:00. Not too early, not too late. Making it a good summer day!

And it looks like I'm only gonna get a couple of those this summer, so I'm soakin' it up.
