This Kid

Ok, so there is this kid that really likes me. I mean really. I don't like him and he eventually forced it out of me to tell him, I really didn't want to but he was like, "We are friends, and friends tell eachother they can trust." So I told him and he went on to make my feel bad by saying that I give the worse rejection.

It doesn't stop there. He went on to talk about my past personal life using the same excuse, "We are friends and friends tell each other," making me feel bad because I had just hurt him so I told him the answers to the questions he wanted to know.

Well I am really good friends with someone that he really doesn't like and I am trying to get him to forgive my friend. So I ask him if he is still mad, and what do you know, more personal questions. Well, this time I refuse to answer and talk about it with my friend and he said it was cool, I didn't have to worry. So I wasn't. Until the next day when he said that I didn't have to worry about him asking abou it anymore, Kennedy told him the answer. Once, later, he told me that he was just messing with me to see if I would tell him, I was MAD! And Kennedy eventually talked to him and he get the idea that I hated him and blah blah blah.

In the midst of all this I told him that I didn't know how the whole friend thing with him was working out with him because he hept using it against me. I said we needed to work that part out. Well I got home and had an email from him saying, "You know how you said we should be friends anymore? I think that is the best idea you have ever had!" Talk about shallow much?

So since many of you are married and have gone through something like this, advice?

Beach!

Wow, that's all I can say. Today my mom and I went to the beach right outside out house, her in her swimsuit and I not because we didn't not expect to swim. Well we did end up swimming, me in my clothes!! I have gone to the beach for about 4 weeks every summer and many more times durning the year and NEVER have I seen such clear seas. There was nothing, and i even saw a HUGE fish. It was so amazing. It was cear and we went out to where we couldn't touch and felt nothing, not even seaweed. It was the most amzing thing I have ever experienced basically!

Emmys

I am pretty sure that the award ceremony that is coming up is the Emmy's. Tell me if I am mistaken. So I am going to write my views on who I think should be nominated for ANY award.

  • Alexis Bledel for Girlmore Girls. Why is she alwlyas forgotten? She is soo amazing and so talented.
  • Lauren Graham for Gilmore Girls, she is nominated every year and never wins.
  • Blake Lively for Gossip Girls. She will win something, no doubt.
  • Gregory Smith for Everwood. I know he probably isn't going to be nominated but she totally should!
  • Lily Rush from Cold Case. She is a fantasic actor.
  • American Ferrera for Ugly Betty. I do not watch this show but is takes some talent being able to make fun of yourself on camera.
  • Miley Cyrus for Hannah Montana... I don't know if I really think that she should get an award but I believe she will somewhere.
  • Haily Duff for 7th Heaven. I know she won't even be considered and she wasn't a main character until almost the end but she put emotion into her character.
  • Will Smith for Fresh Prince... enough said. He is hilarious.
  • Jerry Seinfeld, basically my all time favorite show is Seinfeld.
  • Steve Carrell for the office, won't everyone agree?
  • Amber Tamblyn for Joan of Arcadia, again wil not get nominated but is amazing.
  • Someone from Degrassi. I don't think any of them will be considered because that is a show filmed in Canaga but is really popular. The only person that night be considered is the person who played Darcy who is going to star in the upcoming reproduction series of Beverly Hills 90210
  • Ryan Secreast... I know I don't think they will consider him for a "TV show" but he should be nominated for best smile. It's GORGEOUS!

I might have to add more later because there are so many. what do you think of my list?

Vacation

Well my vacation has been good so far! William has been tormenting me more and I don't know what to do about it. Everyone says ignore it or walk away, but it's different with William. You can't do that. And he claws... he digs his nails into me and I can barely type because where he scratched me is lying on the computer and it hurts. I don't know how much more I can take. 

Well Sports Camp was another successful year. I still have one more week of it and I am very grateful. It was so much fun because one of the days we went to the Yacht Club and pretended to be rich and stuff, it was so much fun! They also had a slide that went into the water which was so much fun to go down!

We have gone to Seaworld many times and I LOVE it there! We go many times each year. We went to see Elmo is 4D which was suprisingly good, I'm not even lying. If you do I recommend going. Kids will ADORE it. I just love walking around Seaworld and looking at all the different people that are there. It is so fun to see all the people that come from around the world and see them in one common place having fun. 

I have got to say that I LOVE the beach house. It has a spectacular view which I will have to post pictures of. I am in love with the beach and living on it for two weeks is heaven, there is no other word to describe the feeling of peace you have when you are here, which we better have for the price that we are paying! My mom calls it the "Beach Box" which sums it up pretty good. But it was much better than we thought that it was going to be. 

Well, I have also gotten some good reading it. I will have to recommend some books to you. I have read two so far that I can't say in any other way then they have changed my life so much, and for the better. I will have to loan you the one that I own. Well I hope I didn't bore you :).

We're here!

Well, I am here in California. WE MADE IT! That's all I am going to right for now. Long, long, day. 

And yes, I think that it is appropriate to leave me a comment about what you have been up to and talk to me there. I am going to miss talking to people in Casa Grande and this is the only way I can think do do it, and YES that means you Sister Golding, Tina, Sister Mitchell, Kennedy, Shanci, Sister Manning, Sister Bautista and anyone else!

4th of July and More!

Well as you all know yesterday was the 4th of July. It was a pretty average day for me including going to the movies. I went to go see the movie Hancock and I loved it!! I thought it was going to be dumb and have no moral other than gore is fantastic but I was wrong. I suggest everyone go see it.

I watched the Fireworks with Kennedy which was uneventful as fireworks normally are in Casa Grande. Now go to California for this holiday and there is something to talk about. Today, the 5th, is Kennedy's Birthday! She got a phone and is super excited. Tonight we are going to go to the mal for her birthday and do a scavenger hunt.

Well today is the day that William is going to come back after being gone for 2 week. I am both glad to see him and sad for what I know is going to come, the fights. I really an going to try to help myself with that but I don't know how much good that is going to do. Well I am glad that he has had a good time at camp. I am sure it was lots of fun!

I will post pictures and text about what went on at Kennedy's Party tomorrow. Until then reply and come back tomorrow!

Whatever I need to talk about is here! : )

This post is labeled "Whatever I need to talk about is here : )" because that is exactly what I am going to do, talk about what I want.

Now our mutual for a ward is moved to Tuesday which is totally inconvient for me. My dad is down there til about 9 or 9:30 on that night so each week I am going to have to wait for him so I can go home. Also it was so easy to go to Kennedy or Katie or Shanci's house and go to mutual with them but now I can't do that. Yesterday we had a marshmellow war. That was so much fun! We got pipelike things and you would but a small marshmellow in it and shoot it. Darrah kept getting me in my face from like 3 feet away and that really hurt!

Today I went to "babysit" my grandpa. Every Wednesday my grandma volenteers at the hospital and I go and watch grandpa. That was uneventful but entertaining since my grandpa says some hilarious things. Then Shanci and I went to see Wall- E which I really enjoyed. I am glad that I got to go with Shanci to that movie. I had a party on Monday night and when my hands aren't so tired I will talk about that.
