Doggies

I had like two hundred of these but my internet router (which supposedly got fixed yesterday) is giving me trouble again. so here are the few I managed to upload.

(These are my babes : )

My boat has come in.

So what am I waiting for?
I figured it out... no, God has perfect timing, and He has decided that now is my time.
I was talking to my Mom about a friend of mine just a few days ago. Something about him has always made me...well, not dislike him, just....I don't know. Anyway, while talking to her I realized that I was afraid of him. Why? well I figured that out this morning: He doesn't just wait for life to come to him; he goes out and finds it. That scares me. I just sit around waiting for my moment, waiting for my boat to come in, but it already has. Thats what my Aunt told me just this afternoon.
God does have perfect timing; he set everything up just right, so that I'd finally get it. The conversation with my Mom, the lightbulb going off in my head this morning, and then my Aunt calling this afternoon. I only hope that I can not make the mistake i've made sooo many times. I want to do something with this; not just sit and bask in the good feeling of inspirational words. I want to go out and chase down life and give it all I've got.
I do have time to live and write all this down. I do have time to be myself and yet be determined and a hard worker. I do have what it takes to be a firm believer that the glass is half full.
A friend (the same one as stated above) told me that God doesn't drop things in your lap; He puts them in front of you, so that you have to do it, or do nothing. All I was doing was nothing.
I know what's in front of me. And I am going to pick up myself and go for it.
Now, enough with this encouraging and inspirational speach. Sometimes I wonder just how organized, determined, and effecient the people who write those things really are!

More Photos!!

So I finally got all of the photos I took onto my computer and here are some of them (the better few).
These are just like the last ones, in that they were taken in the backyard a few days ago.
As someone pointed out to me; the background is really busy. I didn't think about setting up for this, I just took the pictures; I've learned to think beforehand.
More comments welcome! (pleeease comment!)

New Photos

Life is cool right now. I feel like I have a goal, even though it's only just a decision I'm trying to reach. But college is really important, right? so this is a big thing, for me at least. I really don't want to be one of those people that change their proposed degree three eimes through college and then end up with only a bacholors degree after eight years or something ridiculas like that. It's cool at least that I have a positive outlook on the whole thing. I think I'm getting a little too excited though, I'm still behind in my homework and here I am blogging instead.
Maybe I should get to that now...

Photo shoot #1 (sorta)

So I did get in a few...okay, a lot of photos. But I've only been able to post three. I don't know much about photography, so I'm really hoping to learn something from this. So comment away!

My brothers were spraying each other with the hose and I did my best to get photos and not get my Dad's camera wet.

This is a little boy that my Mom baby-sits twice a week.

He's so photogenic because he's so cute!

Well, thats that. I'll try to add some more soon, I have to get my Dad to help me with all the technical camera to computer stuff.

Feedback! Pleeease!

Hello!
After yesterday's conversation with myself, I have decided that I am going to explore careers and then post my stuff on this blog so that I can get feedback... ("awsome! def. something to try more of" or" no, don't even keep copies of that...burn it, it's horrible.." and etc.)
Most of the stuff I would have an interest in doing is "artsy fartsy" so it should be pretty easy to post (artwork, photography, writing, music...etc.).
It may be a little while before I post anything though; I've got to get caught up in school work (college homework) and housework...I think I'm behind by like...um...two weeks. So it could be a very long time...hee heh.
So I'm gunna get to all that, cause I'm getting excited, this'll be fun!

Oh, what to be?!

At the conference I had several people try to convince me to go to college, despite that I don't know what I want to do. People keep telling me to just do something that I am good at and I like...but there are so many things! I could do nearly anything and enjoy it! And I'm good at a lot of things too, so my answer to, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" or, "what college do you want to go to?" is still, "I don't know." I know so many people who are completely convinced and confident in what it is they want to do, and other people who are just like "whatever".
I know I never get any comments and probably no one reads this but I'm in my last semester of high school and I have no idea what I'm going to do after that! So comment away!
I love music, art, and anything else creative. I've seriously thought about military, fashion, and english lit. I have letters from colleges posted on my door and even a postcard from the US Marines recruting people (that's no big deal though, cause every senior gets one of those.) Recently someone told me that I'd do well as a florist (I can't see that though; I have a black thumb) And I really enjoy photography, model drawing (fully clothed please...) and abstract art. I love figure skating, but I'm too old to call that a proffesion, my Mom suggested kinesiology, cause of figure skating.
Well, I need ato graduate to get to...wherever, so I should get to homework.

Post Conference Yawns

I'm having lots of those. After the Shepherd's Conference it's really hard not to yawn a lot. I volenteered every day last week at church for the conference, eight am to five pm. I was out in the parking lot all day on Thursday and I got really sun burnt, but it's turned into a nice dark tan now. The gift for the volenteers this year was a nice thick hoodie. I'll be wearing it to practice all this week. It's very warm and soft.
I earned myself the nickname; Wonder Woman. Lets put an emphasis on the word earned. I moved a banquet table all by myself and then pronounced myself Wonder Woman. An older man walked by and asked if I was really Wonder Woman, he had a smirk on his face though. Hee hee.
I only ran over my foot once with the drink cart, that's got to be a record! Every year I run over it at least twice, but not this year! Those things are gigantic, so I'm very glad I only ran over my toes once.
I have practice today. Tomarrow My monthly school report is due. Thursday I have practice again. Friday... well, I don't think I can think that far in advance. This is going to be a very crazy week...
I should get ready for skating now, ta ta!
