Adventure day

so today, saturday, was quite the adventure. starting off my i was up til' 2:00am last night at grace's house "interpretive dancing and watching movies then telling about how driving the red car my family owns is like driving  boat (which should be a whole other blog post of its own). so i woke up at grace's and knew that i had a "date" at some point in the day we jus hadnt firmed up our plans quite yet. it wasnt a date at all actually just grace emma and abby kept telling me it was (but it wasnt i was jus his last resort person to go to the movies with and im pretty much his sister) oh and by the way this "he" i speek of, thats corey. yeah any way back to the story. ate and took a shower them me and emily went home. i was kinda sad cuz i wanted to go to the saturday market with abby. but by then it was noon and we thot that it was over a 2:00 so we figured it wasnt gunna happen. got home and figured up the plans with corey and that was go to captian america at 6:30pm. meaning i had some time to spare befor then. text abby shuch info and she invited me to hang out with her, jordan and derek. wich i thot that sounded like fun. i went to down stairs to jordans room to see if he was cool with me tagging along and they were. i told them that i had plans this evening so it wouldnt be all day long and they said that they had plans too.... come to find out we had the exact same plans. same place same time same movie same showing... what are the odds. and they were meating up with some chicks too that "werent dates" either. i thot that was hilarious and went to tell emily wellsome how in out conversation me and emily decited to go to walgreens and i got a ton of stuff for only $7 i was pretty proud of my self. then i ran home grabed jo and derek and ended up taking a detour to mcdonalds because derek wanted to go  "coneing" which i didnt know what that ment but aperent ly you order a cone and when they try to had it to you you just grab it by the ice cream instead of the cone. it was so hilarious and the chick didnt even know what to do. after that we met up at abby's which is where i had jus come from lol. and she toldus that we should got to acia alaska cuz the had good food. i had never even heard fo this place but when we got there i soon realised this is my kind of place!!! everything is like natural and its like a lounge and interesting funiture and all around hippy land caitlyn kinda place and i want to take everyone there!!! except for the chines kung fu movie they were playing lol.  after that we decited to visit grace at work which is poler bear gifts on 6th. so we get down there and find a parking place at last and grace is on break not in the building so we were like great we will have to come back later. and werestrolling along and see that the saturday make t wasnt closed yet!! which i've been wanting to hit up for the past like month and a half it feels like. so we when there saw alot of alskin stuffbut sdidnt buy anything went back to graces work and pretty much was dominating the store with out presents for like 20 minutes we cleared that place out. we were pretty loud. and if you know me thats not hard to do. my laugh alone is deafining. about that time we booked it to the theater and it was pretty much alreadyu full?!?! with still a half hour left til it started!??! that was gay. so evey one got to sit to geathe excpt me and corey and i dint really care but i think it made him feal awkward epecially when he was reaching for my mike and ikes and i just grabed his had and would let go even tho he was trying to get away. i really liked the movie and i would like to see it again, it was sweet. after the movie was over i walked him to his moms car... only cuz i wanted to talk to crysal (his mom/ my coworker and one of my closest friend) so it wasnt wired or anyhthing jus so you kno. and i wanted to say hi to his 7 year old brother that is so precious. ran over to the car and we hit it. not the car, the road. went over to abby's thingking that we were jus gunna chil out cuz we were all pretty tired but instead we ended up going frolfing. which it was my first time and it was pretty fun. im way better at it that mini golf ill say that much.. which really isnt saying much concidering the last time i played mini gold i got a +30... yeah and i thing jordan ending with -6. after whe left frolfing we got my car and took derek over to his haunts house who he is staying with while he is in anchorage (he lives in creg, which is south east alaska) any way we took him over there to get some clothes cuz he his spending the night at our house. when he came out he had an entier cosco apple pie that we pigged out on when we got home. and my dad masaged my neck cuz its been sour from the interpretive dancing we did the previeous night..

all in all it was such a good day and alot of good laughs. so much fun and i for sure want to go back to that hippy place. this it what life should be like. inetesting and intertaining. its amazing how much you can cram all in one day. and i wish that i could do this every day. if only i didnt have to go to work... if only i had know this principal of life befor i had to grow up and be and adult... but im making the most of it now.

Unconventional

Unconventional
un·con·ven·tion·al [ùnkən vénshən'l]
adj
different from norm: different from what is regarded as normal or satandard

this is simply the deffinition of how I've been feeling latley. Im strangly happy and ok with life even tho i kind of feel like i dont really have hardly any friends. but life has sorta been an adventure for that pass couple of months. I'm a little bit confused cuz i like being different and out of the box but at the same time i feel like i miss my "in the box" type of living jus because it was comfortable. but i dont want o go back to that because life is to short to live in comfort zones. i try to do something new at least once week to keep things interesting.

I want to encourage everyone to tryu this out!!! try something that you have never done. It can bes something as small as trying something new on the menu of the restaurant that you go to all the time, or try a new restaurant all together! explore your city or town. there are all kinds of cool hidden little parks or boutiques. Its really fun, it broadens your horizon and you wouldn't believe how much it changes your persona and out look on life. It's seriously changed my life and im always in a better mood. unconventional living is basicly the only way to go. and while your at it you might as well dress the part too ;P things you have in your closet the you dont think match probably look really cute together, you've jus never tried it yet!

Opportunity to Grow

This weekend i had a rude awakening that things dont always go they way that you want them to and it may hut your feelings very much but, you have to makethe most of it and work with whatyou go. try to switch gears how ever hard it may be and try to forgive and for get. im trying to move on but its deffinatly not easy

Little Girls Have to Grow Up

To day is my little sisters birthday. Well , she’s really not little any more. She nineteen today. And since there is only a year and a half between her and I quite literally don’t know what life is like with out her. We have had some great times. When we were little kids we are ALL about glitter! I ‘m telling you I went crazy with that stuff. You would put it in our hair, we had glittery eye shadow, glitter lip gloss that was of corse pink, we had glitter stick on earrings, and of course our all time favorite that roll on glitter this would insure that our entire face had an even coat of wet, sticky, ultra glittery film. Then we would take the roll on glitter to our cloths. Especially our jeans and mom didn’t like that too much. We shared a room up until I was 9 and it seemed like every night she would ask me if she could sleep with me. I didn’t want to tell her no because we always had so much fun before we fell asleep but almost every time I said yes I would wake up in the night with her head in my rib cage. So most of the time I would say no but I got tired of telling her no so I would pretend I was sleeping and she would try to tickle me or make me laugh in some way so she could “wake me up” and convince me to let her get in my bed. we did a lot of things together like gymnastics, cheer leading, volleyball, and track we shared a lot of our cloths and we had most of the same friends. Some times I felt like I couldn’t ever get away from her and she annoyed the crap out of me. She has this saying that she would claim that I would say to her which I really didn’t it was jus basically the underlying tone of what i was thinking, “get a life and get outa mine!” and some times I really was thinking, “uh can I please have my own life?” but I am so glad that I have her. She always brings me outa my slumps and knows how to crack me up and keep me awake at all ours of the night even though I have to go to work in the morning. But you know what its worth it, because we are making memories that we are going to cherish when were 40 and 41. Barbie’s, oh man did we love bardies!! It wasn’t so much of the playing house and stuff its was the important things like figuring out who was gunna be the richest, and picking out outfits, and making sure there hair was all pretty. Oh and of course we had to pick names too! Emily’s was always Shelly every single time, where as my girl never had the same name twice. There was never a dull moment and we still have tons and tons of fun. We go on all kinds of adventures and explore anchorage. She’s my best friend and I can tell her anything. She is a total crack up and some time knows me better than I know my self. I’m so glad that I have a little sister to share life with only thing is that she’s not so little any more

Michaels

one of my favorite places to go is michaels. you dont understand. i could spend hours and hours in there, and it takes avery bit of my will power to not walk out of there with the whole store and a compleatly empty walet. one of my newest obsessions is stickers. and what do you know michaels has like 3 aisles devoted to stickers alone!!! yes this place is so easly for me to get lost in that i at times have no idea how long i have been there until my family starts calling me asking me where ive been. they have the funnest little trinkets and projects. emily's birthday is tomorrow and i think im gunna get here one of those, a fun project. cuz we were threre the other day and she was really interested in those. i might grabe some new paints, markers, and glitter. oh great here i go. self control is key her. ive got to keep telling my self that. hopefully after i can meet up with emily and we can hit up baskin robins

if your not that artistic but you wish that you could make things. they have alot of idea books and the people that work there are really helpful. also every thing to make the project is either on the same aisle or close to that vicinity. the people there have started to recocgnize me and un like lows or walmart, they actually know where things are! they arnt jus roming around looking for it like you just were (which that really annoys me). i encourage every one to do little projects it make your hows feel more homey and unique because no one eles has the same thing as you do. and you feel acomplished! even if you only painted it, you didnt make it but  its a one of a kind! anyone can be creative i am a very firm believer in that!! you jus go wild with your imagination. crafts are my favorite hobby :)

its been a long road

you know i was thinking tday about how i have come such a very long way frome where i was about 3 years ago. July 3, 2008 i woke up and my stomach hurt so bad. i didnt know what was wrong and i was in so much pain that i felt nauseous. it was the day of my moms birthday party so i tried to put a happy face on but i was really hurting. about a week or two went by and my stomach was still hurting really bad. i couldnt eat or sleep and i had lost a bunch of weight. which is when my mom took me to the doctor. come to find out i had a really agressive stomach infection. the good news was that there was an antibiotic for it, the bad news was that my body rejected the medication and it atually made me worse. i quite literally thought that i was dying. around the same time i was getting ready to compeat in a beauty pageant and i was super ultra stressed which i now know played a role into my stomach issues. my stomach wasnt getting any better after my infection had gotten taken care of so thats when i went to a specialest but he couldnt find the cause of pain. i had an endoscopy and all that he could tell me was that my stomach was inflamed. he thought that i was too stressed out whith my senior year coming up and this pageant and trying to figure out what i was gunna do about collage. which was partly true. as it turned out i was too sick to do my pageant ant i was compleatly heart broken that i couldnt compeat, but it would have been a desaster if i had tried to go on with it. i couldnt function, all i could do was watch movies to keep my mind occupied so that i wouldnt think about the pain so much. school started and my friends convinced me to go out for volleyball. i loved it but i also hated it. i got hurt so much, all the time. i felt like a wimp. i was really thin though and couldnt hardly eat still, so you do the math. right at the end of volleyball season i took another nose dive and couldnt go to school for about a month and a half. i jus lay in bed and watched movies. so my mom took me to the alternitave medicine clinic. which they told me i had tons of fool allergies. why did no one think of that sooner??? and i was again over stressed about school. i learned what foods i could eat and what ones i should stry to say away from and ones that i should never have. after that things started to look on the up and up. i had some allery elimination treatments. i was able to go back to school and get caut up and graduate.

here i am 3 years after got it and there has been lots of ups and downs. i have a weak stomach, not that i throw up easily, its that i feel lik im always walking a tite rope and one false move and im back to square one. had about 5 stomach infections which is not a common thing! and they cant tell he how i contracted them. i watch what i eat and make sure my stress load is under control. when i got these "stomach issues", as i call them, i thought my life was over. but i have learned so much from this. life is short and you never know what heading tward you down the road, so live in the moment and take every oportunity to live life to its fullest. yes, i still have some bad days but its nothing like it used to be. and if i had to go through all that again i would be able to handle it so much better. it was a huge wake up call to take a look at my life and see what really matters. i dont wish that on anyone but i do sort of wish that more people would go through big life changes so that they would get that same wake up call, "hey life isnt all roses!! figure out what you think is really imortant in life and ditch what ever doesnt matter! cuz you only live once make the most of it!!!"

im actually greatful that i had to go through that because i have i different perspective on life than most, and im thankful for what i have. every day is special and i hope that i never forget that. im getting ready to open a new chaper in life where im leaving my job and goin full time to hair school and im very excited i jus hope that i can keep my blancing act going and make sure that my stomach issues dont spirl out of control again. if you think about it keep me in your paryers. thanks

baskin robins

All 31 Flavors
thats right. this summer my goal is to have tried all 31 flavors of ice cream at baskin robins. crazy you might say especially if you know me you know that i and lactose intolerant... yeah i know what your thinking, "she has gone mad!" no actually i have not. i love ice cream it jus comes with a price. a very painful price but none the less i have always wanted to be able to say that i have tried all 31 flavors because its alot and a feet that i dont think many have accompished. so i already have 4 of them down and its been rather ineresting.... and kinda gross so far. first i had the super souldier or something to that effect. it was red white and blue and it wasnt too bad kinda tasted lik cake with cherry filling sweiland i was thinking on this is gunna be so much fun but then 2 days later when i came back in it was quite a different feeling. so since i felt it would jus be most logical to go systematically down the line i didnt get to pick my flavor or should i say flavors becaus i desided to get a few knocked out to make things go faster. so i got 3 kiddy scoops of, get this, BUBLE GUM, STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE, AND BUTTER PECAN. i knew it would be wierd but i was ill prepared for that first bite of buble gum ice cream. it tasted like a cross between tooth paste and pepto bismol. so needless to say i didnt finish that one. i really liked the cheese cake one i jus new that my stomach was gunna pay for it later. then the butter pecan was like having eskimo ice cream, which if you know what that is, you know its pretty much crisco and berries and or nuts. about twenty minuts later i was in a world of hurt.
i think that from now on it would be wize to stick with only one flavoe of ice cream at a time cuz that was jus plane nasty.

ok first of all
