UVA game

UVA vs. VMI.
(*sarcastically*) It was a very close game--48 to 7 (we won and were supposed to). It got really hot near the end, so we moved to the grass for the last twenty minutes. Here are just a few pictures!

25 September 2010

I was gone for less then a day, and I feel kinda like I've been gone a WEEK! When I left yesterday, I was working on the Bubble Up post, but there are so many pictures that I want to put on there that it takes a while. But, anyway, it's coming....Come to think of it, this post doesn't really have much of a purpose. So...I won't take anymore of your time.

Nothing fun. :(


I'm listening to...


Hold My Heart by Tenth Avenue North. Gab was singing with it.


I'm wearing...


Purple shirt, jeans, my watch


I'm looking forward to...


The UVA football game on Saturday and my date with Mom tomorrow!


I'm hoping...


That UVA wins!


Yesterday, I...


Did lots of writing homework


Around the house…


Mexican men are peeking in through almost every single window! AHHH!!!! We have almost no privacy. They are painting the house and have been here for the past 2 or 3 days...almost the whole day. They're all over the place!!


I'm hungry for...


This. We're thinking about trying it.


The song stuck inside my head is…


Hold My Heart ;)


I love…


Music!

Being sweaty.

Hopefully a frappuccino in the next 15 minutes!!!!!

What we’re planning for this week…


My date with Mom (it was supposed to be for my 13th birthday, but it had to be moved to this weekend because our weekends were full or something)


I am thankful for…


Molly. ;) She reminded me to do this. Thank you Molly!!!!

Happy Fall! (one day late)

Happy Fall to everyone! Sorry it's a day late. I'm afraid that I'm not that good about that kind of stuff. Can you believe that I actually had to Google to find out when the first day of fall is? Yes, that's me. Anyway, hope all of you have a wonderful fall this year!

21 September 2010

What do you think a sunset looked like before The Flood?








Here are two ideas (although I'm sure both fall far short of the real thing).

18 September 2010

Today we...

..went to Bubble Up like I told y'all we would! I'm SUPER tired, so maybe I'll write more tomorrow and tell you more. Hopefully Gab will post a bunch of pictures also.

Thursday Afternoon Daybook

Outside my window...


I think it might be raining...but if it isn't, it's going to. A storm's on it's way.


Mood...


Happy...Thankful. ;)


I'm thinking...


How I forgot to do this last week. Oops!


I'm currently reading...


Well, I'm not in a 'fun book' at the moment. So I'll tell you that I'm reading the Bible for History.


I'm listening to...


An Engineering game playing on Gab's laptop. It get's kinda annoying.


I'm wearing...


Swim team shirt from...a couple years ago, jeans, my handy-dandy watch


I'm looking forward to...


Tomorrow! No math, no grammar, and we'll probably be going to some friends' house.

Saturday- BUBBLE UP (Bubble up is when the 'bubble' (it's looks like one) goes over the pool we swim in year round...the Gators pool)


I'm hoping...


That our religion conversation tomorrow won't take too long...


Yesterday, I...


Did three days of Science, lots of history reading, finished up my religion reading, and did two lessons of Math. In other words, yesterday I did school.


Around the house


...is unusually clean. Some people cam today that were supposed to look around and decide the value of our house because we're changing how we pay for it or something like that...I don't quite get it.


I'm hungry for...


I'm actually NOT hungry....because I had a milkshake. But 15 minutes ago I was hungry....for a milkshake.


The song stuck inside my head is


It used to be Free To Be Me by Francesca Battistelli, but then it turned into the song that was playing on Gab's laptop. ;)


I love


Milkshakes!

I loathe...


When the Gators pool is filled with leaves, mulch, and dirt like it is now....and we're still swimming in it! Thank goodness for showers...


From the kitchen


Josie and Mom have been preparing the most delicious breakfasts. They're done almost right after we shower which means they're nice and hot. Thanks Mom and Josie!


School right now


Lots of it...especially History...and Math.


What were planning for this week


On Saturday we're going to the river house of a doctor at Dad's office. We'll probably eat there...and do some other stuff.


I am thankful for


Peace and quiet....when I have it!

My associates tell me that you are good.





My associates tell me that you are good. They may have read you right. Regardless, I
would probably look down on you. Did you catch those clues? Read this box with care
I'll help you get started. Change the URL by adding slash’/’ and some letters after the
word ‘puzzler’. What letters? I've already told you where they are. See you on the next page

Help me out.


(Edit: and hi to all of you fellow engineering-lovers who found me via Google. Comment and tell me if you actually get past The Puzzler #1. ^ - gab coulter)

She said it would show up soon...

What I am about to show you has a little bit of everything in it...from swimming to going down the South Pool hill on inner tubes...to frappuccino dancing... It's four minutes long, and it might get sort of boring to some of you if you don't, like, want to watch random movies of four girls, but we all like it, so...here it is to those of you who want to watch it!

P. S. Sorry it's so wide and all...I've tried to fix them before, but it never works. :P
