serious, sillyness, seventy two, style

serious: When you stay with something instead of walking away, it builds something new inside of you, something solid and weighty, something durable. But you do have to wait for it. You have to earn it the hard way. That house didn't teach me anything the first year. But life and God, over time, used that funny old house to teach me about how nothing is all on thing or all another.
silly:
first helicopter ride

seventy two:
my first score in bowling. BUT one thirty five, yes I hit the one hundred mark. From the worst to the best!!! Fun night with the flag football yooosss!


Style:
Oscar party arlington home
bean dip
tacos
brownies
ice cream
dump cake
candy
dresses
fashion
fun

How did i spend my Saturday?
First finished getting my ben fix. morning play



Followed by, snowboarding
Thank you patient gwen for
1. GOING
2. allowing me to hold on to you while getting off the chair lift [everytime]
3. for excusing my curse words in front of children
4. for limiting the laughs when I was headed down the steepest part of the hill
5. for showing me the ropes all over again, including trying to go backwards
6. for not laughing when five year olds pasted us
7. for asking and being concerned about the poor bum
Thank you miss g unit, maybe next time i won't be so scared! [if there is a next time!]


Followed by couch, then dinner at Brandywine
Followed by another bust of a pick at Family video. I guess if you have never heard of it and there are four copies or less at the store, then my suggestion [after many failed attempts] would be to just pass!

book review [part three]

Book: The Lo-Down
Author: Lo Bosworth [from The Hills!]
Synopses: It is a book ALL about dating and relationships. Advice, types of men and relationships you may find your self in. Has quizzes [that i didnt take! ha]
Reading time: one week
Rating: Good. but just a solid good. I mean i feel like it was written for high schools [which it probably was] so a tad cheesy!
recommend: why not, it is a very short read. funny and cute! But don't get your hopes to high, i read it bc of Lo and my love for The Hills!
