Another Holiday has Come Upon us

     Day 14                                                                                                                     Tuesday

  As you all know Fourth of July is coming up! That means fireworks, sparklers, friends, family, sugar coated food and all that jazz. 

In our family we like last minute surprises so we still have absolutely no idea what were doing on the fourth;  All I know is that my aunt, Grandma and cousin are all going to be here with us from tomorrow till the fifth.  

In the end everything usually works out though, last year we got lost for about a half an hour before we found our friends.

Every year we go on at least one mini adventure each holiday, but if you would like to stay alive and happy you have to not take anything seriously and just go with it, because if you don't stay calm you get really stressed and then you pass out. 

To tell the truth Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, just the other night you could see fireworks through the trees from our back porch and I really don't mind having to listen to them at night even if I can't see them.

  A couple days ago I was reading a book in bed and my Dad came upstairs and said there was something I should see, he called everybody else too and so we went outside on the back porch and you could see the whole valley lit up with hundreds of fireflies and there were fireworks exploding from all different neighborhoods, it was pretty awesome.

One of the coolest things (I think) about the Fourth of July is ever since the movie Tangled came out every year people set off the floating lanterns and every once in a while you can see one floating away. 

Since I probably won't write another post until after the fourth, 

                                                 HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY AMERICA!!!

Oh So Many Germs

     Day 13                                                                                                                        Monday

  Being sick is no fun and probably everyone sometime in there life has gotten sick with something or has allergies of some sort.

Having a twenty four hour virus suddenly take you down out of the blue is a bummer especially in the summertime, I just got first hand experience, Ugh.

I lay on the couch for hours on end feeling as though my stomach was trying to turn itself inside out. (gross right?) Even the tiniest bit of sunlight made my head scream and yell as if it were being stepped on by some large creature and it was impossible to stand up without almost falling over at least three times because I was so dizzy and all food sounded to me as the most repulsive stuff on the planet, and I am not exaggerating at all... well maybe I am but barely. ;)

  So now that I'm over being sick I am catching up on some things, like school, eating, sleep. eating, being outside oh and eating, eating is good.

  The only thing that maybe if you are not too sick that could be good about being sick is you catch up on your reading, I probably read for about four hours altogether in one day, maybe to you that doesn't sound like much but for me that is about double the amount of  reading I do in one average summers day.

Insects Should Have Curfews

     Day 12                                                                                                                 Friday

  No matter what anyone says there has always been such a thing as vampires but we call them by a different name in reality, we all know them very well by the name "MOSQUITOES!" yes these horrible little blood sucking insects have no qualms in keeping you up till one in the morning on a humid night when you are practically dying already, but finally when you have been rescued by a hero and the insect has died a slow and painful death you're still left with twenty thousand mosquito bites. 
The people who think it's cruel to kill bugs should realize that it's cruel to humanity not to kill bugs. 

I don't want to be up this late!

  My opinion on some things.

1.Ditches, marshes, any where there is a possibility of mosquito breeding should be outlawed.

2.Any form of insect repellent is the greatest invention since food. 

3.Do I think insects are gross? No, I think they're evil.

We are not Alone in this Universe

     Day 11                                                                                                                          Tuesday

  I have come upon a discovery. 
When ones computer dies all communication dies with it, plus the bonus when you finally get the little piece of technology working again there are about five zillion e-mails, updates and reminders that the internet world has granted upon you in the few days you did not proceed with the daily ritual of checking all your social networks. 
Here's to the people who don't have these problems and actually have 3-d social lives. 
  These high tech phones are kinda scary though, it's like there watching us, "if you wave your hand above me I will react, if you talk to me I will respond, if you take a picture of your face I recognize you, I'm a stalker..."
  I really think technology is trying to take over th.............................

Information classified, computer shutdown in five seconds, self destruct sequence has been activated.

  Sorry about that I couldn't resist after saying all about them watching us and stuff, heh I'm cool like that. ;)

Hurry up and Wait

     Day 10                                                                                                                Friday

  Once upon a time there was a younger girl and an older girl, they went on a walk. (Oh my goodness! This looks like it's going to be a newberry award winner.) When walking back home they decided they were too tired to walk all the way home! (they really are troopers) So the older girl convinced the younger girl to take a short cut. (always the brilliant plan) So they turned off the main road and trod across dale and bounded over hill (they might be kangaroos) until they arrived at a wide river, they walked along beside it until they found a tree that had fallen over the river and they used it to cross over, but when they came to the other side they found marsh land through which beasts had come and ravaged the land.

The two girls did not give up hope though, oh no they plowed on finding a foot hold here and there, trying not to fall into the foreboding waters (glop more like) at there feet. 

Days it seemed they travailed across this bog almost sinking at times and slipping dangerously, when suddenly firm ground lay before them and they slowly crawled,exhausted into there castle in the clouds (because clouds are solid)  there clothes in tatters, there hair filled with burrs and over all covered in mud.

When they had rested and were sitting in there dining hall they told there death defying story to all who would listen and this tale was of such heart ache and bravery it made even the hardest burst forth with rivers flowing from there eyes. (Peoples eyes water when they laugh really hard)  Such is the story of the younger girl and older girl, heed it well. 

Two girls went on a run,

on there way home they said, were done!

A short cut! said the older one,

okay said the other, it might be fun.

The marsh made them realize there journey had just begun.

When it was over they knew they couldn't be outdone,

there tale was rewarded by tears by the ton.

  The moral of this story is don't go trying to take shortcuts if your lazy and live in a random castle that's surrounded by a swamp.

I'm Tired, What's Your Name?

     Day 9                                                                                                              Sunday

  

   I think everybody has had one of those days when you're totally and completely wiped and all you want to do is sit and do nothing. 

One day I had been swimming for hours,  gotten up at six thirty in the morning and now had the worst sun burn on the planet, when on arriving home was informed that we were going on a three hour hike that day and I needed to get ready because we were going to leave in five minutes.

I think I can truthfully say that I would have gladly fainted at that moment.

Do you know what total and utter exhaustion feels like? I hope I never have to go thru that ever again in my existence on this planet.

  Cat's have it so good, they can make there whole bodies relax so much that there practically melting. (I'm melting I'm melting! I'll get you Dorothy and your little dog too!) Sorry, sometimes I think I have ADD. ;)

  I am not the type of person who can go go go for a whole day and then the next day keep on going and going, but I am also not the type of person who can go days and days without doing anything social.

If I go days without going anywhere I go loopy. (It happens a lot just ask my family.)

  But back to the previous topic, I after this I will always make sure that we are doing absolutely nothing the next day before I go and get exhausted at a sleepover.

Camping in a tent without any matts or air mattresses whatsoever  leaves you with lots of bruises.

The comment under the picture may seem random but it isn't because sometimes at sleepovers you camp outside...

Why do we do That?

     Day 8                                                                                                              Thursday

  Heres a list of weird stuff that people (including me!) enjoy.
1. Going to the movie theater
Think about it, you go to a place to and buy a ten dollar ticket to watch a movie, you buy a bunch of unhealthy food that is priced four times what it would normally cost in a store and then you go sit in a chair that about five thousand other people have sat in just because you can not wait two months longer to watch a film that you don't know if you will like or not.
2. Birthday decorations
On your birthday your family comes up to you and says happy birthday! And then there are usually balloons everywhere right? The weird thing about balloons is it's like saying "You were born today! To celebrate heres a colorful sack of my breath!"
3. Fair rides
To have fun you ride a uncomfortable metal contraption that makes you almost puke and you do it over and over again because for some weird reason we think it's thrilling.
4. All nighters
We keep our bodies up for over 24 hours and from one o,clock am to around nine o,clock am your running on nothing but pure energy that we should be saving for the next day, it's like a caffeine high with no caffeine involved, then for the next two days you look and feel like the living dead.
  All these things are rather strange things to enjoy but we still think there awesome (unless your not normal but who is).
