First off thank you Gracie, Hannah-banana, and Huy <3 You guys are all so sweet for worrying about me and junk. :D I'm glad to know I have you guys *glomp*
Good news is I'm back to normal. :) Depressing days like that are really quite normal for me X) I always get them randomly, at least once a month (usually not so randomly if u know what I mean :P). Basically, I just watched tv, an old Johnny Depp movie (thank you mumsy for knowing the cure to all sadness is Johnny Depp), and chowed down what was left of the fro-yo. By bed time I was sane enough again to learn Calculus. :P
Which btw, stinks. .-. Like I really hate calculus! Right now, I'm ATTEMPTING (ie failing) to learn as much as I can before school starts since my teacher is so CONVINCED I'll be extra stupid because I skipped AB. (I'm taking BC in case u didn't catch that). Teaching yourself something from a book that assumes you already have the gist of things is really hard. .-. But I have gotten 1 chap done! (Now I have the gist of that topic :P) Only bout 8 more to go ><'''''
But I really gotta stop procrastinating..........again. (I've been studying the stuff since 11.....but at 1:30 I took a break for "lunch" that ended up lasting til 3:30 X) then I came back :P)
Hasta la vista,

It's a Terrible day in the neighborhood, just a terrible day.......
I should have realized it was gonna be a bad day when I woke up and it was raining. Why? Well remember all those pretty outfits I had planned and y'all so nicely voted for.............yea none of them were meant for rain. White capris and a see through top would not have boded well. Therefore, I brought out the big guns: Mommy. Of course she knew just what I was aiming for without having to explain. "Something cute because you never know who you might see.......but you don't wanna try to hard, it's not like it's the first day of school or something."
So a new outfit was chosen (if thou is wondering: blank tank top covered with my paramore jacket and my cargo pants jeans). I looked good, but the extra time made me go into rush mode. In my rush mode, I managed to break one of my favorite necklaces, forget my money, and burn myself a bit on my straighter (which I eventually left one, YIKES!). Sure enough, we still got there late and I had to run through the rain.
I really realized something. Registration is usually fun. Annoying in that you have to stand in all those lines and junk, but fun because you see people for the first time all summer and you're excited for your new classes. Then it's a little depressing as you leave because you realize, "I gotta be locked up this place for how many months? Snap....." With no fun due to a lack of recognition among the crowd and little excitement when getting my sched (which says I'm getting math tutoring when I was told I'd be a teacher's aide so that'll look great to Harvard no?), I skipped straight to depression. What's worse is I DID recognize some people.....as who they reminded me of in TX. Literally, there are many MANY clones (but of none of you guys D:).
Needless to say, I wasn't too happy leaving. We went to go get some free pie, but since I don't eat pie I just burned my tongue on some bad hot chocolate and suffered through breakfast food (because it's the cheapest thing there). By the time I had to run through rain a couple of more times, SAD was egging on my bad mood. Literally, I came home and was like, "I'm depressed." How do you cure depression? TV shows on the comp (particularly my fav soap opera drama kinda show) and leftovers straight out of the containers. (Plus some more snacking here and there.)
Right when I was feeling better, news of this fly-in I was semi excited about came in the mail. (I don't care for the school, but an all expense paid visit to Maine on my b-day? Sign me up!) I didn't get it. Ok whatever right? Disappointed and trying not to wonder how this'll reflect on my college apps just months in the future (I'm applying WHERE? Am I crazy?!), my mom literally FISHES the scraps of the rejection letter from the trash and is like "oh". Thanks Mom. She didn't mean anything by it, but sad days.
After all haven't I been a good girl? Taking moving and all the bad stuff that's been happening in stride? Mom's $10000 ring stolen (prob by the movers) and her surrounding breakdowns, file a report and wait. Dad's constant anger and bitterness having to work sometimes 11 hour workdays at a job he hates and still barely supporting two houses, ok he can't help it, things are rough. Sit here listening about money problems simultaneously mixed with "we're ok", guess I don't need this or that, make adjustments. I guess that's why I focused so much of the positives and what I could control. Lifestyle especially. Even if they think I'm crazy, it really does make me feel healthier which makes me feel happier, and if I worry about that, less brain space to worry about everything else on the plate.
It's raining again. I shouldn't write when I'm depressed, too much venting. I'm gonna go do nothing again.
Bye,

"I have 2 muscles now!!!"
Lol that tis the quote of the day. X) Twas another running day, but after a mishap with my alarm yesterday, I was so afraid I wouldn't wake up on time! I was so worried, in fact, it screwed up my ability to sleep and making sure I woke up at 6:30 actually invaded my dreams. O.o Weeeirrrddd.
It was kinda not to be in a sense that I DID wake up, I DID go run, and at the very moment I turn to head back to my house........it starts to rain. :( I gots soaked X). Not too cool, but for once I didn't mind TOO bad. (Least I was on my way home right?) I've had that kinda day all day what with my burning of my oatmeal cookies! (Oatmeal cuz then I won't eat it :P)
Speaking of not eating, the exercising is so helping! Lol that's a weird transition, but anyway: It feels fawesome! I've been able to eat 3 meals a day (never used to really do that), a desert if I want, snacks if I want, and I've apparently shed a couple of pounds. :) (which means they'll prob spring right back up again due to water weight, but let's use our short-term vision glasses shall we?) To top it all off, the other day I discovered a mini bicep!!! (For all of you who don't really know me, my arm muscles are NONEXISTENT, and NO THAT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION.) Seeing it when I flexed made me so happy <3. Today, I discovered the makings of an ab muscle!!! GAHHHHHH!!!!!! So excited and proud :D :D :D
Ok, enough crazyness. Sched pick up is tom and I must chose an outfit (due to a tie in the polls X) ) which will be fuuunnnn :P
LOL,

The More Things Seem to Change....
As summer days end, a routine emerges.
I woke up late (8 o'clock) thanks to my faulty alarm clock XD (I still have it set to Candy 95 :P not helpful in AR) We went to walk Kiko. Chores. Blah Blah Blah. To tell you the truth I ain't got much to say today. We'll prob do something later, but that's how things go now. ^^
Speaking of doing things AFTER posting: I made this.............thing........for my jewelry X) I know I'm weird <3
But it's kinda fun :D I just do whatever. I have so much time without tv! Strangely, I fill it all up too. :)
TTFN,

Park and Poll
RELAX! <3 Ahhh, it feels so nice.
If you're confused, don't be. Today is basically my relaxing day.......not that I've relaxed so far :P Today I woke up bright and early and (eventually) we headed out to Lake Fayetteville! (Kiko can't be off the leash there, but the trail there is HUGE!) When we got there (tis only 2 miles from the house)... we realized that we had forgotten Kiko's lease .-. (specifically my dad had :P). SO, WE DROVE BACK :D Then we did all the lovely walking and such <3 I took LOTS OF PICS (with the video cam so sorry for the quality). You can see the pics in the slide show below. :)
As for the poll, I MADE IT!!! MWHAHAHA >=D I had to use the video cam and the timer, but IT'S DONE. (I figured, what with my parent's habits, I wouldn't get my batteries or mirror anytime soon.) Here are the choices:
6 OPTIONS, if you hate them all you can put that. If you think I should mix and match em tell me that too :). Remember, I don't wanna stick out like a sore thumb or look like I'm trying to hard. :( Still......I wanna look nice ^^'''' The voting is on the left side bar! Thank you for voting X)
Now to relax <3 lol
See ya,

I can't feel my [insert random body part here]
Omg it's so late T-T (for me anyway, bed time's literally in like 5 so I'll prob just go to bed late) and I've only just NOW really gotten to sit down and do NOTHING. (well I am typing this, but that's dif :P)
Yesterday night was EXTREMELY stressful. To put it simply, yesterday was a bad day for business.
Today was a bit better. Despite me killing the dog the night before (I swear, he was just running one second, limping the next!), we still woke up this morn to drive him all the way out to this lake because it's the only leash free trail that we know of. .......Sadly, the road was closed..........which we found out when we got all the way out there. Plus side: we ended up stopping by the farmer's market and this organic food place. Down side: I hadn't gotten to take a shower yet cuz we were supposedly "just walking", was in a terrible outfit (meant for a trail not for town square), and we had no money (cuz who needs money at a trail?) Then we came home, got presentable and all, before getting us some BRUNCH! Followed by chaos at Walmart for Tax-Free school supplies.
Really though, things didn't go crazy til I started THE TASK. What is THE TASK you ask? THE TASK was to unpack all of my boxes today. THE TASK seemed possible when I started. THE TASK seemed finishable when I continued. I even (basically) completed THE TASK. .........but it all came at a very great price. T0T My whole body is KILLING me and I'm just so exhausted. Didn't help that we went on an extra long walk with Kiko tonight too. Even the yummy dinner with some of the cucumbers from the market and frozen yogurt from the organic place didn't ease the pain.
And tom? OFF TO ANOTHER LAKE! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY! (That's actually not totally sarcastic, I quite like exploring........s'long as I'm prepared :P)
As for the runway poll...........................
I STILL DON'T HAVE MY MIRROR AND THE STUPID BATTERIES I BOUGHT FOR MY CAMERA DIDN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!! (Once I'm trying to put them in, mom comes in and NOW chooses to say "Oh that camera only takes special batteries".........even though she was there with me when I bought THESE batteries today and after I SPECIFICALLY said THIS is what the batteries were for ><'''')
So hopefully by the latest, pics will be up on Mon. (which is the latest cuz sched pickup is weds, YIKES!)

Crash and Sleep
Finally, a lazy day. <3 (Hey, sometimes I miss the old ways :P) Today I slept in! (til 8 XD) but before you blame my total crashing on my running, it was actually the mountain that did me in. ><' By mountain I actually mean giant AR hill located at the end of the trail. It felt like a mountain though cuz a giant buldozer had gone through to make way for power lines, so the ground was littered with the dead trees (sad days), loose dirt/gravel, and even some remains of a house! I'm not much of an explorer, but I followed Kiko and my dad and just focused on not falling down. X) That on top of my running, grocery shopping, and unpacking made for a tiring day.
Since I slept in today, though, I feel all groggy. Downfall of getting 10 hours of sleep I guess. All I wanna do is take another nap XD. Too bad I still can't! We are cleaning and unpacking (as always). I got my closet filled with all my clothes yesterday!!! (Now what to do with the rest of my junk........) Still, boxes and boxes await. Fun huh?
We met some neighbors yesterday. :) Well Kiko did. Kiko is always the center of attention. (We didn't even learn their names ^^''') But the biggest news really is.........
WE HAVE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I'm so happy :D :D :D No more running out to Hastings or Barnes and Nobel to check one's email! It's a good life <3

Crazy Girl Say What?
I haven't been gone that long, so you should be able to still picture me. Do so now. Now what do u think I am very unlikely to do?
Alright, I'll just cut to the chase. I said that I've turned a new leaf to hopefully become healthier. Well, to start off I have done so by going to sleep early (10) and waking UP early (7). Today I pushed the envelope! I woke up at 6:30 and, wait for it............, RAN! That's right! Imagine ME, RUNNING. Shocking right? And to be honest, I downright SUCK at it! Arkansas is way too hilly. After going up the first hill and down the second, I basically speed-walked the mini trail. At least it's a start; I hope to build my stamina after a while. Yup, that means I plan to do this again! Twice a school weeks as a matter of fact (Tues and Thurs). Tomorrow I'll do pilates (my Monday and Friday exercise). What's more, I was able to run, relax, read (for like an hour cuz I was waiting to say goodbye to my dad before showering), shower, get all dressed, dry my hair, and STILL be done before school would have started! Therefore, I plan to either shower earlier or eat breakfast while waiting for dad, and I should be all set. :)
That's not all folks! To top it off, I pushed myself even FURTHER at breakfast time. Today I had watermelon and eggs with ham. You read that last part right! EGGS with ham. (For all of you who don't know, I have a psychological food aversion to eggs. I love the taste, and when I was little I used to eat them more than any other food to the point where I'd probably have two eggs sandwiches a day. Until the incident. One day I ate a bad egg and threw up..........in church. Can you blame me for feeling ill every time I eat an egg since?) So far, no yucky in my tummy feeling so hopefully I'm good again! MIND OVER MIND!!!
Some more good news is in order! WE HAVE A FRIDGE! *runs and hugs it* There were some scary moments for a while about the moving company not paying for the fixing (and our big baby still has a death sentence thanks to designed obsolescence :( ) but it's all good now!
Also, I love having my clothes back <3 I'm actually wearing something semi cute today for the first time in a while. :) BTW, I think I'm gonna have u guys help me chose what to wear for schedule pick up cuz I wanna look good enough to make a good impression but not stick out like a sore thumb! So I'll set up a poll another day. :)
LIKE TOM! When we SHOULD get internet at home <3 FINALLY :D :D :D Ohhh I can't wait ^^
Random Note!
I totally forgot to tell you guys, but after being in our house for only a day, somebody already HIT our MAILBOX! Seriously? Nice welcome to the neighborhood. ><' Luckily it didn't fall over but still -_-' Here's a pic.
Last thing, please comment. :( I feel lonely.....like I'm talking to the into thin air or to this big thing called the internet that's giving me the silent treatment. If you're out there, say hi :P
Much Love,

So far, so bad
I'll start off with an "I'm sorry peoples." :( Well, I knew I wouldn't be able to update everyday, but yesterday an update was simply IMPOSSIBLE. Before I start the venting, I'll start with some good news. :D
Good news:
Well, the day started off well enough. I woke up NATURALLY at (wait for it....) 6 AM! That's right! 6:15 to be exact. ...Needless to say, I saw the time, was very proud of myself, then went straight back to bed. But this is good news for school! (For which I plan to wake up at 6:30 everyday instead of my old 7 so I can go exercise.) I woke up again at 7:17, hung out with parents a bit, showered, then came out for breakfast.
That's when things began to go down hill. In mid-motion of my mom making her breakfast and us discussing mine........the movers arrived. Guess no food. Oh well, we'll grab lunch......right?
Unlike our movers back in Texas, there were only 2 instead of 4 and they didn't seem very.....well, competent. Still, we didn't judge. An hour in, we hear something smash. Sure enough, the large sheet of glass that rests on one of my parent's dresser (and it's large crate to protect it) are lying on the garage floor. When picked up, it sounds like those old rain makers as the shattered glass tinkles down. We will have to file a claim.
Several hours of them bumping into cieling lights/fans, walls, other furniture, and the cieling itself, we have emptied several boxes, only to be overwhelmed by more, have added several more damaged goods to the claim, and (I) have eaten a total of one fruitabi (fruit by the foot al'natural). Among the damaged: a leather chair's furnish taken off along with one of the stickers that they swore "will come off without a mark," a missing bracket, my parents mattress, and (worse of all) my parents expensive leather bed has dents in it. I thought my mom was gonna have a heart attack. As it was, we were both a little delirious from lack of food, dehydration (because we have been LIED to! It is 106 degrees here too and we couldn't have the air on with all the doors open for the movers!!!), and standing on our feet all day while simultaneously running around in circles in FLIP FLOPS.
Speaking of woes, I forgot to mention the very worse part. See, you'd think we were looking forward to getting the beds back the most right? WRONG. (I'd actually gotten used to the floor a bit :) ) Nope, we were looking forward to our lovely fridge. <3 See, because fridge means we can buy food (which means we don't have to spend a lot of money at a restaurant for greasy food). Fridge means cold water (and also ice.....I miss ice so much). Fridge means, even if we HAVE to go out for food, we're allowed to have left overs (without worrying that they'll spoil).
The fridge comes. We plug it in. The light goes on. YAY! We wait. And wait. And wait. ...............................................................................................................................................................
No cold. Our fridge is busted. What the heck did they do to it? We don't know.
We still don't. The guy is supposed to come today (which is actually GOOD news, because they said Friday was the earliest!). So hopefully, it's a quick fix and they don't try to blame it on us.
Once again, we were forced to go out for dinner. I was so hungry, I said "SCREW HEALTHY" went to this place with bread TO DIE for, ate like 10 of the buttery rolls which I dipped in butter, a steak, and mashed potatoes (my side of steamed vegetables remained untouched because, frankly, the frozen veggies were disgusting). I even brought some home, which I ate for breakfast today. :)
Speaking of today, it's not half as bad. I slept in late (til 8 o'clock believe it or not!), showered/unpacked a bit, ate my rolls, and am now at Starbucks (since I still don't have internet and my mom wanted to just "try" Starbucks instead of Hastings.....bleh).
To leave you entertained, I decided to do a new unit called the "DREAM SEQUENCE" which, if you haven't guessed, is all about my crazy long dreams. Since people figured they're so entertaining, I don't see why not. :)
~DREAM SEQUENCE INITIATED~
(note-I started off writing my WHOLE dream, but now I realized this post is long enough, so I'll only do the entertaining-er one ;) Ps: all this is seen in the third person in the dream)
There's a fancy party going on in the underwater glass house. Everyone's talking, especially about the Chinese Acrobat. (I dunno his name) He's dressed in all blue and doing tricks for everyone. What they don't know, is that he's actually a warrior, a head one at that, protecting the world from the rock beast/aliens that have come to this futuristic earth in search of the life rocks that give them power. It's the Acrobat's life, as part of this army, to find these rocks first. The Acrobatic lifestyle is merely a ruse to get him into this fancy parties that are actually thrown BY the aliens, unbeknown to rich people, for THEIR entertainment. In this way, he's able to keep tabs on their location, which corresponds to their searches.
Flash forward to one of their many raids. Similar to Eve's mechanism that helps her find the plant in Wall-E (you know that light that blinks green if it's found, red if it's not), the GIANT rock aliens are scanning this rocky, mountain terrain. There's only one creature in view now. Suddenly, his light turns green! But it only, picks up the trace of an OLD rock, one that was once there, but now removed. The creature is suspicious, but then notices far off in the distance, to the right, is another alien. It assumes it has picked up the rock, and decides to find another area of it's own to search.
Once the rock alien leaves, a group lead by the blue Acrobat emerges. In his hand is the glowing life rock. His eyes scan the area, and he finds a note left in the midst. Sadly, it's in English which he cannot read (which is funny cuz I understand everyone X) ). So the Acrobat disperses the team as he takes in one of the lighting trams to the city.
Inside the city, there is this giant building. Though it looks like a mall, Each "store" has a giant screen, offering some service of one kind. One, is merely comedic. Another, teaching students biology. Another, pilates. One of History. The focus goes onto a girl with bright pink hair, lying on the table used for writing in the English booth. She's writing on the paper in front of her, but not in English. She's making random symbols both in Chinese and Japanese, making them look like a rabbit when put together.
Suddenly, the Acrobat arrives. He walks through the building, asking if anyone could translate English. As he passes the girl, her ears perk up and she jumps to her feet.
"WAIT, I CAN, I DO, I KNOW HOW, HEY!"
He stops, sighs, and precedes to hand the hyperactive girl the paper. Slowly, but surely, she begins to translate it. The Acrobat asks her to hurry, feeling the presence of an alien in close proximity, and afraid that the life stone's energy may attract it. She however, cannot so does not. Suddenly, the Acrobat says "RUN" and they both take off. Though the alien is not in view, even the girl can sense that they are being chased. They run through the mall, jumping through the TV "stores", over benches, and even through a fountain. The Acrobat contacts one of his soldiers to stall the alien, but he receives only static. All the while, he attempts to tear the paper back from the girl, but she clutches it to her chest in a death grip.
The Acrobat takes a risk, grabs her, and shoves both of them into a nearby, but dark, store.
"Give me the Paper!" He screams.
"No! NO! I can't!"
"Why?! Do you know what it means." She stares at him helplessly then says,
"I think I do..."
Then I wake up .-.
Until later,

Good news:
- WE GOT OUR STUFFS!!!!!!
- Which means: I got to sleep on a bed for the first time in a couple of days.
- I now have clothes (which is good because I had reached exactly ZERO yesterday)
Well, the day started off well enough. I woke up NATURALLY at (wait for it....) 6 AM! That's right! 6:15 to be exact. ...Needless to say, I saw the time, was very proud of myself, then went straight back to bed. But this is good news for school! (For which I plan to wake up at 6:30 everyday instead of my old 7 so I can go exercise.) I woke up again at 7:17, hung out with parents a bit, showered, then came out for breakfast.
That's when things began to go down hill. In mid-motion of my mom making her breakfast and us discussing mine........the movers arrived. Guess no food. Oh well, we'll grab lunch......right?
Unlike our movers back in Texas, there were only 2 instead of 4 and they didn't seem very.....well, competent. Still, we didn't judge. An hour in, we hear something smash. Sure enough, the large sheet of glass that rests on one of my parent's dresser (and it's large crate to protect it) are lying on the garage floor. When picked up, it sounds like those old rain makers as the shattered glass tinkles down. We will have to file a claim.
Several hours of them bumping into cieling lights/fans, walls, other furniture, and the cieling itself, we have emptied several boxes, only to be overwhelmed by more, have added several more damaged goods to the claim, and (I) have eaten a total of one fruitabi (fruit by the foot al'natural). Among the damaged: a leather chair's furnish taken off along with one of the stickers that they swore "will come off without a mark," a missing bracket, my parents mattress, and (worse of all) my parents expensive leather bed has dents in it. I thought my mom was gonna have a heart attack. As it was, we were both a little delirious from lack of food, dehydration (because we have been LIED to! It is 106 degrees here too and we couldn't have the air on with all the doors open for the movers!!!), and standing on our feet all day while simultaneously running around in circles in FLIP FLOPS.
Speaking of woes, I forgot to mention the very worse part. See, you'd think we were looking forward to getting the beds back the most right? WRONG. (I'd actually gotten used to the floor a bit :) ) Nope, we were looking forward to our lovely fridge. <3 See, because fridge means we can buy food (which means we don't have to spend a lot of money at a restaurant for greasy food). Fridge means cold water (and also ice.....I miss ice so much). Fridge means, even if we HAVE to go out for food, we're allowed to have left overs (without worrying that they'll spoil).
The fridge comes. We plug it in. The light goes on. YAY! We wait. And wait. And wait. ...............................................................................................................................................................
No cold. Our fridge is busted. What the heck did they do to it? We don't know.
We still don't. The guy is supposed to come today (which is actually GOOD news, because they said Friday was the earliest!). So hopefully, it's a quick fix and they don't try to blame it on us.
Once again, we were forced to go out for dinner. I was so hungry, I said "SCREW HEALTHY" went to this place with bread TO DIE for, ate like 10 of the buttery rolls which I dipped in butter, a steak, and mashed potatoes (my side of steamed vegetables remained untouched because, frankly, the frozen veggies were disgusting).

OMG (nbd)
Since it's fairly early today I don't have TOO much to report. (But I shall anyway cuz I know I won't have internet later.)
We found the trail and pool! :D No more sneaking onto private property ;) Lol, but both are mini :/ but we suspected so when we couldn't find it the first time. Actually, walking TO the trail was more of a walk than the actual trail :P (what with two fairly big hills to climb/go down).
Buuuutttt....I've officially decided to change my life style. :) In fact, I kinda already have. .-. The fact of the matter is, I was contemplating the issue during those last few days at home. We had been eating a lot of junk food lately (because either A) Mom didn't want to cook what with all the stress she had to deal with B) We were preparing to not have a fridge and therefore couldn't add more food when needed and C) We had NO fridge :P) and I was feeling the affects. -_-' Really, I was feeling more sluggish and sick. I got to the point where I was just CRAVING home cooking! (seriously it was really sad that I didn't really get any). I even came to the point where I didn't want MEAT D: (ME! The carnivore!!!) What's more, I had become addicted to the television. Absolutely ADDICTED. If I started watching the television, I wouldn't stop. Even if we planned to go out, the tv would cause at LEAST a half hour delay (usually 1-2 FULL hours). I would WANT to do other things (especially get my hw done!) but I couldn't bring myself to. And if I dared to pull myself away to do so, I wouldn't enjoy it (even if I was generally interested in my activity).
So obviously a change was needed. I mentioned already how my dad had gone on a extreme lifestyle. Very little, but healthy food. He'd wake up at 7, work all day and no tv or anything when he got home, then bedtime at 8 or 9. ...But now I'm starting to see why. :) Now, I can't eat THAT little. But yesterday, after leaving Hastings SUPER late (8 pm!) thanks to my dad's phone calls home (*rolls eyes*), we went for a walk while mum prepared the vegetable pasta she'd planed. We went to the trail, walked to the end, walked back home. Dinner was ready (now at 9). It tasted SO good! I wasn't even starving! (I'd grabbed a banana on the way out for the walk, so I was satisfied.) Normally, I HATE pasta. (Especially the healthy kinda *gag*) My dinner last night consisted of: salad, a small amount of protein rich pasta, and vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots that TASTED like they were sauteed in butter but actually only had a bit of cooking oil and garlic!). After the long day, I just got ready for bed, grabbed my book. Read a chap, then hit the hay about 10. And today? I NATURALLY woke up at 7! 7!!!!!!!! (I need an ALARM to wake up before 10 normally!) Even though I slept on the floor (which didn't suck as much when I slept on top of my 2 allotted pillows X) ) and had to wake up in the middle of the night for a restroom stop, I am not anymore tired than I would be waking up at 9. O.o
So if you don't get what I'm hinting at, I'm going healthy. :) I've decided, Imma hit the hay early, try to wake up at 6:30 so I can work out (2 days a school week running, 2 pilates, 1 rest :) ), shower, and head out! Plus, less red meat, more yummy veggies. (Highlight yummy though :/).
Also, I'll try to be a bit more green. :) I'm currently reading:
No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process by Colin Beavan
and WOW! The guy and his family strive to make NO environmental impact for a YEAR. He starts off slow, and it's really nice how he doesn't preach. But all the facts is sure to make u wanna make u change, if only a little. :) For example, we have our reusable bags we've always had but never used before in tow for our normal groceries today. X) Plus, he agrees with the no-tv lifestyle. :D If you LIKE to read and have some time, pick it up! I'm sure they have it at the lib.
On a completely dif note, I'm happy to say, "OUR STUFF IS COMING TOMORROW!!!!" I am SO psyched! (Mostly cuz, I have no clean clothes after tomorrow left O.O).
Thanks for following me everyone <3. I love the comments btw :D I'm about to reply ;)

We're Going on a Treasure Hunt! X-marks the spot!
Today we went X-plor-ing! ...but more on that in a sec. :)
Really, today was fairly slow. We are FINALLY out of the hotel! Kiko is happy, but I'm undecided. Normally, this would be a good thing...but we still do NOT have furniture. :/ Which means, we have NO BEDS.
To semi-solve this problem: we took a field trip to Walmart (which is like the center point of AR apparently). We grabbed sleeping bags, food for the next 3 meals (since we still don't have a fridge), a trashcan, random other little things, and we argued over future paint colors for my room. X) (My mom was very happy that this was STILL less than another night at the hotel...less happy after trying to take a nap on the flimsy sleeping bag.)
Otherwise, it was a cleaning the new home kinda day. Plus, I worked on my homemade planner (which I apparently COMPLETELY messed up the other day :/ every day was off by one for TWO WHOLE MONTHS ><''' ...thank goodness for whiteout ;) ).
Now: for the exploring :P Supposedly, we have a trail in our subdivision (as well as a pool, though that is currently MIA). We thought this one place was the entrance, so I wanted to go check it out. Mum and the pup tagged along and it actually looked really nice...until at the top we realized it was actually just somebody's backyard O.o Yup, you heard me: the mini-trail was someone's PRIVATE trail. ...Needless to say, I freaked out and we rushed back down. :P That's all we need: getting arrested or meeting up with an Arkansonian with a shotgun! Anyway, here are the pictures of our little adventure of the afternoon!
Since we're out of the hotel, I'm actually updating from Hastings. I'm so glad they have one here! (But I have yet to see if their hot chocolate is as good, so that will be my next quest!)
Much love,
~S~

Learning to at least NOT hate
Unlike yesterday, I found that I don't COMPLETELY hate our house. I still hardly love it, but now I can dream of what it COULD be. I had originally chosen the smaller guest bedroom as my future room (mostly because of the walk-in closet and more workable layout) but, in the end, I could not turn down the extra space. :( SO, instead I shall take the larger bedroom with the creepiest huge window I have ever seen with many promises of getting proper blinds :P (I swear I can see my neighbors out of it!!!).
But like I said before I left, I gots plans >=D. I cannot WAIT til I start decorating it! I'm semi-worried about the money because obviously I don't want to cause my parents to overspend (which with the new house is a fairly prevalent worry nowadays). In the future (ie when our TX house isn't just a money pit), we have even bigger plans X).
For example, my dad wants to put some trees in. (Which now has become my solution for everything! "That spot looks ugly." "Put a tree there." :P) Also, there's this part of our backyard which is kind of to the side of the house which I would just LOVE to separate with a fence and make into a garden! The area has double doors for an entrance, so wouldn't it just be lovely to open the up and be faced with a little pathway with that curved little entrance and vegetables growing on either side of the path? <3 Ahhhhh the dream :P
Speaking of dreams, our house isn't the only thing we wanna change! I actually would like to do more of a healthy life style change. My dad did (he's sooooo skinny now D:) and while his way is too extreme (ie oatmeal for breakfast skip lunch then eggs with beans for dinner before 8 pm bedtime ><') I would like to take some of his steps. :D For example, NO TV! I realized that when I turned on the tv those last few days at home, I did little else that day. :/ Now, I've been getting SO much reading done! Plus, I actually WANT to read it (unlike when tv was an option). Plus, I wanna start exercising cuz I am OUT OF SHAPE ^^'''. So we'll see. :) Our stuff still isn't here yet though. :/ I'll wait til then :P.
Here are the pictures! The house is (obviously) still empty.
Lol, I'm such a great picture taker :P In my defense, my bat was almost dead!
Miss youse guys

I'd like to say I am dissappointed but...
I have to say, I've been striking out all day! (Take this as a warning that I am about to vent.)
First off, I woke up at 6:30 am. Why? Because my mom told me too, which means Animal Cracker's (who has been so kind to let me stay at her house the last two nights when I didn't have a bed of my own <3 (I love you!!!)) mom made us get up that early. Now, this would be fine...save the fact that my mom didn't pick me up til 8:30 :/. Fun.....
But then we were off!!! .....Ha ha ha, you actually believe it was that easy? No, we were supposed to be off, but mom stopped for coffee...which took 30 minutes to get. How you ask? I don't know either. .-.
Then we were REALLY off! Actually, the trip wasn't bad itself, per se. Kiko didn't do much barking after the beginning. (I guess too hot/too depressed/maybe he was getting carsick?) Sleeping wasn't much of an option this time. (I was sitting the passenger's seat with no ability to recline.) That doesn't mean I didn't manage to anyway ;). Basically, I was the map girl (na na na na na na na na MAP GIRL) and worked on my homemade planner (which I kind of messed up several times, no biggie).
Eventually, we were here! AR-KANSAS. Kiko loves it! All the trees and all I guess. As we were driving to the house, we saw horses in someone's FRONT yard (and people ask TEXANS if we ride horses to school).
Things went downhill from there. When I saw the video of our new house (after we were already buying it) I knew I would hate it. Sure enough, I DID! *gasp* No but really. The largest room (supposedly mine) is the only one without the walk-in closet AND I probably STILL won't be able to fit both my bed and dresser in it. Plus, the huge window covers most of a wall and you can totally see into it from the neighbor's house O.o (awkwwwarrrddd). So yea, sad days. I'll have to figure it out.
Plus, by then I was majorly carsick and just wanted to get some air conditioning! Seriously, that and some ice cold water. (Is that too much to ask for? D:) But first was food. Which, even though we right away said to get the yummy Mexican place we had last time, was turned into a HUGE effort. Eventually, we did just get the Mexican. ...But after waiting half an hour while they freshly made it, we realized they had gotten my order wrong. :(
Now, it's time to chill. I'm so tired! (Even though I just spent all day in a car.)

So It Begins
Well, I've officially boarded the tornado and flew far away from Kansas. I'd like to say the trip was interesting, but 9 hours in a car is hardly so. Even Kiko was depressed most of the way (but I think that's just the effect OK has on one's soul...). Overall though, we made great time. Too great actually; I now owe my mom a coffee because we made it by 6:30.
But more on all that stuff later. Really, I'm just here to introduce you to my blog! Since everyone wants me to keep you posted, what better way to do it then on your own time. :) So here's skylight, a window on your computer screen that shows you my world out here.
I miss y'all already.
