Yup. You read that right. Today I have a guest blogger with me. My little youngin, Gracie.

Gracie: Hi.

Me: That's great. Tell me something cool about you.

Gracie: Well, I like to make art...and I like to paint my nails...and I like to make money...

Me: You make money? How...

Gracie: I do yard sales.

Me: Really?

Gracie: Yeah, sometimes.

Me: ...When was the last time you had a yard sale...?

Gracie: Last year.

Me: Oh, did you make a lot of money?

Gracie: I made a dollar.

Me: Well it was nice talking to you.

Gracie: I'm leaving?

Me: Yeah you're done.

Gracie: You lied!

Me: No I didn't, I told you we were done.

Gracie: You told me you were looking up Squirt the turtle!

And that was the interview we never had.

The end.

Update: My Summer? Well...

I have a good explanation. Really. I've been sick for the last two weeks which has ruined all of my plans and I've been cooped up and it's driving me crazy and I can't take this any longer!!!!
.....
Waffles anybody?

 It's waffle wednesday. Joy.

Anyhoo, right now I'm going to do some catching-up with my blog.

So as you know Sunday was Father's Day.

Why yes. We got him chips for father's day.

And he is obviously super depressed about this...

My gift... A Father Survival Kit. Lets just say I've done better and move on, ok?

Next: She's The Man.

Holy Freak Yes.

Thank goodness for Clearplay.

I can't believe I've never seen it until now.

Crime to humanity, ladies.

Go see it if you haven't. Seriously.

  

And now I will show you a picture that was one of the best. nights. ever.

HOLY AWESOMENESS OVERLOAD.

Ok, I'm done.

Now go do something cool. And watch She's The Man sometime. And have a great Wednesday.

Helloooo Summer!!

Why HELLO there summer. Long time no see.

(this translates to "OH MY JELLYBEANS SUMMER!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE FINALLY HERE!!! WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO!")

Ehhum. Anyhoo, This summer is going to be superdee-duperdee-amazingly-fabulously-fantastic!!

And I've finished my summer to-do list:

This is the revised version. And it's only three pages long. (:

Here are just a few of the things on my list:

1. Pink Lemonade Stand.  

    Because pink automatically makes the lemonade better.

2. Be in a Flash Mob.  

    I will be calling a few of you this summer... (:

3. Harry Potter Marathon

    Definite must.

4. Smash a Pie in somebody's face.

    No buts. This will be done.

5. Sidewalk Chalk my ENTIRE block.

    Because that would be awesome.

6. Make Pizza while listening to Italian music.

    And wearing mustaches.
7. Try Pizza Cupcakes and Broccoli Ice Cream.

    I will post pics of these two... they will be VERY interesting...
8. Celebrate an Unbirthday.

    I've always like the idea of a random birthday party.

9. Make a giant cookie.

    And it can't fall apart. Challenge accepted.

10. Have an official Paint War.

    Buckets, Balloons filled with Paint, Paintbrushes - you name it, it will be there.

12. Make/Wear a Tutu.

    I have always wanted, no joke, to wear a tutu in public. Seriously.

Rememer we are making this the best summer ever. Kapeesh?

So watch some Toy Story Movie Marathons...

(Mind? Blown.)

...and remember to wear sunscreen...

...make some flipping epic wishes....

(cause ya never know, it just might come true)

...can't forget the sparklers...

...go on a trip (or two)...

...eat LOTS of ice cream...

...build epic forts...

...and make this the BEST SUMMER EVER!!

So my friends, this summer will be AWESOME.

And I promise to blog LOTS and take TONS of pics.

So buckle up for the Best. Summer. EVER.

Thats Show Biz.

I want to be an actress when I grow up. Yup. So I was practicing for an audition when my dad and brother started bugging me... So I told them to try it.

And they did just a swell job, I tell you. *eyeroll*

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Squirt them in people's eyes!  
.... Ok I'm just kidding. Don't do THAT. No really. Life will get you. Seriously.
ANYHOO, this week life has given me plenty of lemons. and limes. and grapefruits. and - ok you get my point.

Alright. First of all, Drama. Not cool. One of the worst cases anyone can get on the last few weeks of school. On top of all the stress over grades, sometimes I feel like I'm just gonna break down. Don't you just wish life were perfect?

Wouldn't life be perfect if

Sweatpants were sexy,

Mondays were fun,

Junk food didn't make you fat,

Girls didn't cause so much drama,

Guys weren't so confusing,

And goodbyes only meant until tomorrow?

Well hey. That sounds PRETTY great. But everybody goes through it. And I realized that. So we just gotta make the best of life, yes?

So here's what I did that made today a lot better than it was bound to turn out.

• I came home to a tail-wagging dog. Love her. (:
• I went running (!) Holy cow - EXERCISE. Feel good about yourself!
• Pinterest. Makes you feel very creative.
• I read me some HP. Because we all know real men don't sparkle. They defeat Dark Wizards.

And now, I will top off this blog post with a Harry Potter pic that matches this situation...

And have a wonderful Friday. (: 



Update: Life is Grand

Friends. We've all got some. There's the happy, the supportive, the funny, the hyper. But what makes my friends special?

Well, lotsa stuff.

• My friends say superdee-duper awesome words like "shindig" and "jiffy".
• And they jump on trampolines for hours, and play pretend.
• And we also discuss leaving somebody on the mountain armed with nothing but a bag of marshmallows and two artichokes.... but thats a whole different story.
• We talk about pinterest, and MLIA, and funny stories about eachother.
• They also know how to down two bags of popcorn in less than 2 minutes and 3 pizzas in less than 8. That should break some kind of record..... yes?

Anyhoo, just wanna let them know that I enjoy them very much and they make my life just grand. (:
