Troop 371

In the past few weeks, i have been to a gold award ceremony that made me relive my own troop memories,
talked to my fellow troop-mates,
and witnessed a few people around me who have needed some help, and some good advice.

i still live by this, do you?


I will do my best:

to be honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong,

responsible for what i say and do,

and to:

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place,

and be a sister to every girl scout.

busy busy busy

yep. thats life.
im taking what seems to be a billion credits.
my classes are interesting, but theres alot of them.
-my last term of constructed self/mentored self
-punishment and corrections
-policing in america
-intro to poetry writing

we finished cj's room. :D
he got his taxes back today so were going to go out, but we havent decided where yet.

other than that, brandon comes back monday and were going to have to do something fun this week. im going to try to make it back to the burg next weekend for the talent show and kates birthday, but no promises.
i dont want to ride with my family or someone else because id have to go back on their schedule, and i wouldnt be able to get back until late sunday night, and i have class monday bright and early.
im trying to see if erin or brandon or cj can bring me, but i dont know how thats looking yet. if i cant make it, ill have to make sure to take a trip down there soon!

Brandon + Hair =

bad news...


JUST KIDDING! haha.
2 days ago i let brandon cut and dye my hair. he asked me what i wanted done, and i said i didnt care, and to do whatever he wanted to with it. I had to get the ends cut off due to split ends and a paint mishap, but it all ended up pretty good.
we cut my hair a little longer than shoulder length, cut my bangs, and added a layer. the bottom layer is bright red, and we highlighted the rest of my hair with the left over dye.

so now, i have shorter, cuter hair with lots of bright red.

unfortunately i have no camera due to the fire way back when, and so i have no pictures, but i might have some tomorrow :)

Not so ugh.

Well yesterday did not go according to plan by any means. Finally after finishing what we needed to in his room we decided to shower and go to olive garden.
well right before i was going to get in the shower Nae called me. We had a long and interesting conversation, and hopefully it all works out.... :D
oh, nae,
heres the link...haha

if you look up her actual screen name on youtube its dbootsthediva or something like that. i love this lady. its funny.
as for the rest,

And Nae, let me know the plans!

Anyways...I spent a good while on the phone, after i got off I went in the living room, cj thought i had actually taken my shower in that time. lol. But i went and got in the shower, and then we called into olive garden so they would put our name on the waiting list.
well when we got there, there was a line of people who hadnt called...
and we went to the guy and told him we called in, and since technically we called and they had us already on the list we should already be waiting....but he basically told us no, we had to wait, even though we called in, but the line was out the door and around the corner basically. So we ended up just going back to the car, and we went home. On the way home i started crying because nothing had gone right at all the whole day.
Of course cj being the guy he is, he made me feel better and laugh right away, and we went home, picked up 6 cans, and went to red robin. I bought the drinks and onion rings, and he bought the food. I ended up spending more than i hoped to, but eh. no biggie. it wasnt that much. I got a new drink, it was bottomless and all :) it was a pomegranite peach limeaide, CJ got 2 mai tais, so i got to drive to ductch bros after that :)

When we got to dutch bros he made me pick what he got, so i got an almond joy for myself and cj got a double chocolate mocha. it was yummy. :)
when we got home we drank our dutch bros and watched Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist. When we were done with that Brandon texted us.
He was down becuase as he said "singles awareness day was getting to him" so he came over and we played mario party 8 on the wii, and then we went to sharis at like 1am.

we got home and i went to bed at 3, cj got more coffee at sharis and so he couldnt sleep, he ended up staying up till 5. we woke up today at 1:30.

so after everything sucked, I talked to Nae, I had a fun night with cj at red robin and watching the movie, and when brandon hung with us too.

UGH.

Today has not been good so far. granted that its only 3 now, but still.
Today is valentines day, one of the funnest days of the year if you have someone to spend it with.
well, not always. Today was spent tearing up carpet, cleaning out the room, and not much else. its ready to paint and get new carpet now though, so i guess that's good news. but i mean UGH.
CJ is up cleaning the horse stalls now because Casey isn't here and they need cleaned real bad.
SO, also, since we have been so freaking busy with his room and school and everything, we haven't had the time to get each other anything, plus we don't have that much money in the first place to spend anyways. On top of that I'm PMSing so it just makes everything feel 10 times worse.
I'm hoping that we can spend the night together watching movies or something along those lines. If we have time we might go to olive garden, we have gift cards from our birthdays. We will probably also go to Dutch Bros and bring cans :)

So so far Valentines day is non existant for me, but Im hoping it gets better as the day progresses.
Oh, and tomorrow is 11 months for CJ and I. <3
maybe tomorrow will be better.

To my best friend, cj's mom, and abraham lincoln

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAE!

I miss you nae, i tried to call but your phone kept giving me a busy signal. :(

As for tomorrow and this weekend...
Happy friday the 13th
Happy Valentines day
CJ and I together 11 months.

have a good rest of the week guys!

Life is Good. :)

Okay, so i now have a new room, same building, same floor, different room, different roommate.

thank god.

I walked into the room, and the first thing i did was smile. This is how my room should be! There are things on the walls, Colors everywhere, and we even have christmas lights everywhere. i love it. Plus, my roommate now is super nice, and no joke, she reminds me of amanda, diana and nae all mixed together. So we get along just fine.

Other than that there are a few pictures of CJ's burnt empty room now. :p

you can see where his pictures were on the wayy and the books on his shelf up top, and you can also see how he vaccuumed "i love you mary :)" on the ceiling.

We are cleaning the walls off and tearing out the carpet this weekend i believe.

Friend things and boyfriend things are all good. I have a new friend, brandon. He was the drummer in cj's band, but left for his mission trip. he got back the beginning of january, and we hang out all the time now, so thats cool. He comes and hangs out at my dorm with me like once a week, and we walk to voodoo donuts, or just hang around, and he hangs out with everyone at cj's house on the weekends. we had a super bowl party on sunday at cj's place, and that was cool. everyone came over and that was awesome.

OH!

i learned how to play guitar hero :p
