What the Beach Test Says About You

You like people, but you're careful about who you get close to. Friendship is important to you... so important that you aren't just friends with anyone. You are a passionate person. You are free wheeling, fun loving, and ruled by your emotions. Your sense of humor is very physical. Your facial expressions or spot on imitations of people are hilarious.

I just had to smile :)

Ty + A Lazer pointer

Needles to say, for some reason Ty didnt like the lazer pointer this morning. And to account for all the odd behavior, lets just say I wasnt awake yet. :D

My Swim Suit!!!

My swim suit finally came in the mail today!
Ive been waiting for it since like Febuary or March! The great part is that i LOVE it! Its got an awesome fabric, lovely colors, and its just wonderful. I had quite a time taking pictures of it.....

and unfortunately it makes me look a bit weird in theses pictures...

the lovely skirt....
I just adore this little thingy!
Without the skirt, one thing i really like is the way you can adjust the top and the bottoms just by pulling strings.

Oh, and the back makes an "X" i just couldnt quite get a picture of that on me. :D

Geraniums, Some other flowers, and a Broken Mirrior

This weekend while my grandmother was up and around these parts she helped us get flowers for the pots on out front porch. While flower shopping, my eye caught this geranium and the other plant. I just love the color of these flowers!

So now, I have this large pot of geraniums and a small pot of other flowers in my room with me, reminding me constantly of Gods blessings of beautiful things.







Now youre probably wondering about the broken mirror. Nothing really happened, I guess the little gust of wind from closing my closet just sent it over the edge, literally. Odd thing is, its the second mirror I have broken/assisted in breaking so far this year.... Im extremely glad Im not superstitious, considering my talent for breaking mirrors, and the fact that my birthday falls on Friday the 13th next month :D
Im thinking about making some kind of artwork out of this.....

The Dissection of a Frog

Again sorry, no pictures, not that you would want to see my crying my eyes out, and the guts of a killed, preserved, and disgusting pre-killed frog. Well lets see, Monday was the smart center, and the project was dissecting frogs :D (haa not funny AT ALL!), and because Im doing biology in science this year, I was forced to go. I was okay for a few minutes, but started sweating profusely, when the lady running things said "I'm going to had out the things now." I about had a conniption. So first we (me and 2 other girls at my table) get this tray, with the instruments of torture (they tortured me, I dont think the frog minded much). Then came the fun part... The lady grabs this hand full of completely stiff, disgusting, frogs, and comes around dropping one on each tray. Im telling you that dumb frog made me cry. And Im not kidding, it was the NASTIEST thing I have seen in a very long time. The skinning was easily the worst part. Although I was a safe 6 feet away, cutting the green skin off that thing was bad enough just to watch. I soon found out though, that a frog without its skin, doesnt look much like a frog at all. Once my lovely assistants had the frog peeled, pinned back, and had started poking around, it started to look less disguising, and more interesting to me. To I started pointing at things with my pencil (up till this point I had been taking detailed notes, to make up for not touching anything) and was having quite a time finding its liver, kidneys (which I dont think we ever really found), stomach, bladder and so on and so forth. Eventually I got one hand in on the action, and was cutting, pulling, and ripping that poor girl to shreds! The lovely part was when someone (not mentioning any names :) ) managed to squirt something from the inside of the frog in to someone elses MOUTH! Thankfully it wasnt me :D. At the end we dug out its eye lenses, and I brought one home to keep forever and ever as a reminder of the 2nd major time an animal a TON smaller than me made me cry.
