In July I graduated from college. My parents were going to buy me an awesome old looking bike. Unfortunately they had to spend all of thier money on someone who still feels it’s okay to complain about it. I also haven’t gotten a birthday present because they are spending all their money on person who still complains. (& Christmas will also be small even though person still likes to make complaints.)

(I’m not trying to sound bratty, but it is kind of hard when someone is spending all their money on you and none on other people and you still complain. & I didn’t even get a birthday or graduation card.)

Anyways…

We have an bike in our exercise room. I’m trying to use that every day. I kind of suck at consistently exercising, but I seem to do pretty good with this bike thing. I think it’s because I can do other stuff while doing it. (Right now I’m writing this post and biking at the same time.)

I guess it doesn’t matter right now that I don’t have a real one right now since it is too cold.

Ps. It isn’t so much the spending money on her and not me that bothers me. It’s the she still complains after all they do.

Friday was my first day as a subsitute teacher. I was called after school already started. The lady on the phone asked if I was busy. I said no. She asked how soon I could get there. The middle school I had to go to was really close so that was good. When I went to the office I walked in and told the people there who I was and they had kind of an odd look on thier face. (1st time I thought the title)

I was there at the end of first hour/period/class/ whatever you want to call it. The lady who was there before me told me what she did and left. There were mumbles of she’s our sub/she can’t be a sub and confused faces. (2nd time I thought it)

Two of the classes had another teacher there so I didn’t actually have to do much with the students. I during the two class periods I graded papers.

During the last class I had to go to a different room. The other classes were 7th graders. This one was 8th. When I walked in there was more surprise and I once again thought the title of this post.

One thing I learned is students really need to not laugh when subs mispronounce someones name. During one of the classes I had to do it. The names were written by the teacher and not on a computer. I couldn’t really read her handwriting so trying to figure out thier names was kind of difficult.

It was kind of wierd be a teacher in a school that I used to be a student at. It also seemed odd having people call me Ms. Last Name.

I’m kind of sad that Halloween is over. Wearing a costume and seeing what others are wearing and handing out candy and going to a costume party is kind of fun.

I really like Christmas and Thanksgiving so Yay! for those being closer then before.

Saturday night I saw someone putting up thier Christmas tree. It seems a little early for that. What is with people wanting to skip Halloween and thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas?

I really like seeing houses all decorated for christmas. Yay! for that. I wish more people decorated for Halloween the same way they decorate for Christmas.

Parents went away to Florida for the week. Left on Sunday before Halloween. Came back on Sunday after Halloween.

Sunday October 25: Mom woke me up before they left to say bye and stuff. J came to visit after church for a little bit. Luckily the dogs didn’t jump on him since he was all dressed nice. Did some laundry. Had a ton of laundry to do, but only did one load. J came over later and we watched ghost busters. I love the giant marshmellow guy. When I went to bed I found out my bed is not very roomy when there are two dogs and a cat who want to lay in bed with you.

Monday October 26: Arguing sucks. Really really sucks. When they don’t actually get talked about and fixed it kind of really sucks. Watched Ghost Busters 2. I forgot what this one was about. All I could remember is there was a baby. I liked it. I still like the marshmellow guy the best.

Tuesday October 27: Watched Halloweentown 1 & 2. I love Disney tv movies. Did some more laundry. Tried to figure out what I needed for my Halloween costume still.

Wednesday October 28: Stayed home by myself with the puppies. Didn’t do much.

Thursday October 29: Cleaned my car with J. It was kind of gross. I kind of hate having to clean a car that I didn’t dirty, but it looks good now so oh well. Went to the halloween store and bought the rest of my costume. I just have to glue some stuff together and then it will be all good. Watched scary tv stuff. It stormed for a little bit. Puppy was scared of thunder. Sad face. When I went to bed he smooshed himself right next to me.

Friday October 30: More laundry. Nailpolish was peeling off so I finally got around to taking it off. Was really hard to get off. Ended up pouring the nail polish remover in the lid and putting my nails in there. Even doing that it was hard to get it to come off. Justin came over later to glue my costume together. We had to glue some earrings to my garters since we couldn’t find any that I liked.

Saturday October 31: Yay! Halloween! I love Halloween. Most people like going out, but I think I like passing out candy and seeing little kids in costumes. My cousin came over to trick or treat in my neighborhood. I had to put the puppies in the basement as soon as I saw people walking outside. We didn’t get as many people as we usually get. Not sure why. After handing out candy Justin and I left to go to a party. Justin was the only person I knew and there was a friend of his there that I met once before. It was a funish party. I think I would have liked it better if I knew more people. I also would have liked it better if I was more comfortable talking to people I don’t know.

Pretty much every website I look at has people talking about how sexy halloween costumes are bad. I kind of have to disagree. I think some of the costumes are really cute. This year my costume is a pirate. One of the funny things is that I have seen it called multiple things. It is named either sexy pirate or sexy pirate wench. I bought it when I was with my mom and grandma. Both of them liked my costume. A lot of the “slutty” costumes don’t even look very slutty.  I don’t get what the problem is if someone wants to wear a costume that looks like that. Why is it bad? Anyways, the costumes don’t exactly cover a whole lot of your body, but I still don’t think they are slutty.

I kind of hate driving. After 22 years I finally got it. Yay. The test had to be rescheduled a few times because it was really rainy the days of my other tests. The first time I went there my mom and I thought I had to take a written test. Apparently the only written test you need is to get a permit and not the license. That was kind of nice. During my test I did a few things wrong but I still passed. I think it would be difficult to not pass.

Only not really.

This weekend was the Chicago country music festival. I went with my mom to see John rich play. Someone played before him, but we had never heard of them. They were okay. Before JR came out some other people came out. It was Sinister and Chi Chi from Daisy of Love. My mom didn’t know who they were so I had to explain the whole rock of love daisy of love thing. Sinister sang some Michael Jackson song that I can’t remember right now, but it was kind of terrible. He has a cd coming out. Ick. Why are people who can’t sing allowed to do this?

I’m not really sure. Somehow I manage to always end up with bruises or cuts or toes falling off and I don’t know how it happens.

It was actually my toenail that fell off, but anyways how do you not know what you did to your toenail to make it fall off? Last month my toe started hurting and I looked at it and both of my big toenails were all gross and bruised looking. Eventually the left one fell off. It’s now regrowing and since I don’t have nail polish on my toes it doesn’t look that wierd if you don’t know I’m missing the nail. My right toenail never fell off. I think there is a new nail growing under it though. At least summer is ending soon and my toes can go into hybernation and hopefully come out with new nails.

A few days ago my left leg kind of hurt and I looked at it and I have a cut that is probably about 2ish inches below my knee. Im not sure when it happened, but it was probably from one of the animals.

Bruises always pop up on me and I wish I didn’t bruise so easily. I’m clumsy and being clumsy and bruising easily is not a good combination. My legs almost always look kind of ick during shorts season.

I guess I mostly know how I hurt myself. The part that I can’t seem to do is stop doing it.

Back in my day when I was a teenager I was so not that annoying.*

Yesterday I went to the mall to spend some gift cards that I had. I spent all of them but I still have some left on each card. At delias I had a card where if I spent fifty dollars I would get 25 dollars back. Some of the shirts they have are cute but for some reason I was in the mood for colorful pants. I was going to get some jeans and some reddish purpleish pants. I was looking for a size 9 because last time I bought pants from there that is what size they were. The girl working there asked if I needed help and what size I wore. I told her 9 and she told me I should try on 7. When I went to the fitting room to try them on the girl told me to make sure I come out and show them to her to make sure they fit right. What? I know how they are supposed to fit and I also know how I like them to fit. Also with those pants I was trying on a size 5 & 7. Normally I like my size. There were 3 or 4 other girls in there who I could hear talking about how they weren’t sure if the size 1 or 3 would be better to get. Felt slightly fat. Ugh. One thing that I thought was kind of funny is I now own pants from there that are sizes 5, 7, & 9 and they all fit me really good.

I think I realized why I don’t go to the mall a lot. Teenagers are kind of annoying. I definately need to go places when they are in school. Last spring break I went to the movies with someone and we went during a weeknight and there was hardly anyone there since our spring break was not at the same time as the schools around here. It was nice.

*I am really glad to be done with highschool.

The quote of the day: “We are not having another party if another baby comes from it.” – Mom

Watching drunk people is a lot more entertaining than being drunk.

Multiple videos of people were taken by me. Very funny. I hate how I sound in the videos. I’d that is really how I sound to people I’m sorry I have such an annoying voice.

The atomic cake was super yummy and super tall. The slices we cut for everyone had to be super thin.

It didn’t rain!!!

The DJ played good music. At one point we were dancing and then everyone left me and I was dancing by myself. That is the second time that happened. I think people need to stop leaving me when we are dancing.

I got bit by what feels like a million mosquitos. I’m kind of spotty.

We had kind of a lot of people in my hot tub. Pretty sure we lost half of the water. Ha.
