2.) My nose itches constantly.

3.) Eyes get watering and I can’t control it, then people think I’m crying or just emotional all the time.

4.) The sides of my mouth itch.

5.) Mouth itches.

6.) Throat itches.

7.) Nose is stuffy.

8.) They make you miserable.

9.) I take allergy medicine but then it’s not non drowsy so you end up getting really tired.

10.) The allergy medicine wares of and with your luck there is none left.

The Day Bethany and I stopped fighting

Throughout mine and Bethany’s childhood, we fought constantly. My mom would tell us to stop fighting and sometimes we even had to hug for 30 sec. and it felt like hours. One day we learned our lesson…

Bethany was about 5 yrs old and I was probably 4 yrs old. Like usual there we were fighting doing who knows what when my mom came and found us. Now we didn’t want to get in trouble so we started running around the house so my mom couldn’t get us. We ran through the kitchen and flew down the stairs. My mom then came stomping down the stairs because being little and hearing those stoms, you knew you were in big trouble. So hear comes my mom and Bethany and I had no where else to run.

All of a sudden we see my mom fall down the stairs and ends up in a heap and the bottom of them. You should of seen how big our eyes got. Now my mom couldn’t really move so we had to run upstairs grab the phone and my mom called our neighbor John Griego. He was a big trucker guy and had to carry my mom up the stairs.

As it turns out is that my mom ripped her calf muscle and really couldn’t move around much. Let’s just say Bethany and I learned our lesson about running and having our mom chase us. I’m sure we still fought here and there but stilled always remembered what happened. I think we both learned our lesson.

School’s Out!

My last day of school was June 4th and I am happy to say that I’m on summer  break and a big bad senior now!

One thing I accomplished this year in my WAFL class is that I read the book Les Miserables, which was about 1500 pages. A pretty long book if you ask me. And finished it all in about 2 months. Woo!

When I first started this book I was a very worried girl. I thought that it would    be really boring and I would have to suffer reading it for 1500 pages. Well I was very wrong! I thought it was a great book. Very detailed and Victor Hugo did a great job hooking you.

I recomend everyone to read this book, okay some may say “hey I watched the movie no need to read this long book!” But I watched the movie and I really didn’t like it. Some of the most important parts of the book were left out.

Look at it this way some of you may have a whole summer to read it! =  ]

Laminin

For the past few weeks I have been helping out with the Middle School youth group at my church.  One week during discussion with the 6th graders, one of the girls told me about Laminin. She said is was something in our body shaped like a cross that holds us together.

Laminin is what keeps our body together.  I thought this was so interesting and cool; the thing keeping us together is shaped like a cross. Wow.

Spiders Are Creating an Army Against Me

If you look back to one of my blogs I wrote about killing a spider, you might need to read before reading this one.

Well today I woke up like any normal day went into my bathroom to prepare for my shower. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little something crawling around in my tub. You guessed it.. it was one of my friends.. Mr. Spider. It was a normal spider; medium size, normal color and easy enough to kill. Grabbed a cup and started pouring water on it, continuing until it drowned. That whole system works great. The spider went down the drain and I was so proud of myself that I had killed Mr. Spider.

As you know on most shower curtians there is a plastic curtain part that goes inside the tub. So as I was moving that I noticed that something was there. It looked a little strange. I then hit the curtain and that strange thing was in my tub. Then these gross legs came out of it and sure enough it was another one of my friends… Mr. Spider 2.

Now Mr. Spider 2 must have been all of these spiders colonel or something. I mean he was huge (or at least it seemed) and his color just wasn’t right. He was like a dark redish orange color and to me it seems that kind of spider can hurt me.  I had to kill this spider but I just gave all my courage when I killed the first spider. That’s when I turned to someone else to come to my rescue…my father!

I ran upstairs, through the kitchen, up another flight of stairs and swung open my parents bedroom door. “Dad! Dad! Dad!” I said. “I need you to come down and kill a HUGE spider that’s in my bathtub. I already killed one and I can’t kill this one, it grosses me out. Can you please come and kill it real quick?!” He responded some what like my mom in the last spider blog, “Can’t you just pour some water on it and put it down the drain?” “I can’t  Dad! It’s just way to gross and it’s HUGE! Did I say that it’s HUGE??” “Okay, okay,” he said. “I’ll be down in  mintue.”

I ran back downstairs to watch Mr. Spider 2 to make sure he wouldn’t escape to call his troops in.

My dad finally arrived in my room and went to business to kill that spider. I must have learned from the best because my dad got a cup of water and started drowning Mr. Spider 2. In no time Mr. Spider the colonel was down the drain and gone forever! Yay! I finally was able to get on with my morning as normal.

I am pretty sure that spider hate me now. Pretty soon I am going to have an army of spiders in my tub one morning that’ll look like this:

 

          

(except i am sure they’ll be a lot bigger and much much more of them!)

When this happens I am afraid I might die, or have a heart attack or something. Let’s just say it’s not going to take to much work or effort for this spider army to take me down!

My Daddy and Me

 

                  

I can say so many things about my Dad. One thing is I was mad at him because he took me off his shoulders. (picture above)

My Dad is one of the best dad’s ever, I am very thankful he is my father! I love him so much and let me just list a few reason’s why:

- There for me

- Makes me laugh

- Supportive

- Helps me with homework

- Fun

- Giving

- Kills spiders for me = ]

- Gives great advice

This is only a start. The truth word’s can’t describe dad, he is just that AWESOME! The truth is my Dad is my hero!

Thanks Dad for everything! You have helped me so much through these 17 years of life. You’ve helped me become the woman I am today. You have taught me many life lessons and you always know what to do. Best of all you are a great loving father to me! Thanks!

I LOVE YOU DADDY!!

 

What a Great Start to My Morning!

+ = (DEAD!)

 

This morning I woke up around 8:00 to get ready. It was just like every other morning; I was really tired and didn’t want to get up but I had to… but what i didn’t know was that this morning was going to be different….

I walked into my bathroom to go get ready for my shower. I pushed my shower curtain out of the way and started the water to get nice and warm. Then out the corner of my eye I see a gross, huge, ugly, awful spider! ! (looked somewhat like the one in the picture above) EWW! I then had a slight problem. It kinda grosses me out to touch a spider even if it’s with a shoe or tissue, it gives me the crawlers! So what is a girl to do….Well let me tell you…

Luckily for me there was a mason jar sitting on my counter. (we use them as glasses) I grabbed the jar as quick as I could and filled it with the hot steamy water and you can probably guess what my next step was. That spider was getting 3rd degree burns all over it’s body. Now here is were I think spiders are so stupid! I continued to throw water onto it and the spider would shrivel into a ball then when the water wasn’t hitting it crawl up my tub. Oh it was on, that spider wasn’t getting out of that tub alive. Finally after fighting back and forth with the dumb spider it died. oh boo hoo! Then I had my next problem!

The dead spider was just floating in the water and I didn’t know how to get rid it. hmmm.. I knew what I would do. Just run up stairs get my dad and he’d come to the rescue and take care of it. So I quickly turned of the water (yes it was running the whole time, I know a waste, but hey people I was in a crisis!) As I got upstairs I looked outside and my dad’s car was gone! oh no! Well then I thought my mom is pretty brave she’ll come and take care of it. Oh but was I wrong….I opened her bedroom door and believed our conversation went like this:

“Mom there is a spider in my shower!”

“Kill it with a shoe.”

“I drowned it and don’t know how to get it out!”

“Elise I am tired, just flush it down the toilet.”

Well it looked like I was on my own. Great!

I ran back downstairs and went into my bathroom. As I got in there I peeked over the bathroom tub and there that spider was stuck to the side of it. EWW! I was in trouble because I didn’t want to touch that gross thing. So I thought I’d take my mom’s advice and flush it down the toilet. I turned the water back on so I could scoop it into that mason jar..well there was another slight problem. When I turned the water on…the spider kinda went down the drain. At that point my emotions were torn.. I was happy I finally defeated the spider, but then I was like great it is going to come back up from the drain!

Being the brave person I am, I proceeded to take my shower. The whole time I was thinking it’s going to be like return of the Achaearanea Tepidariorum(common house spider)! I looked at the drain just thinking that any moment the spider would come up and get me! Unfortunately this whole situation caused my shower to be cold so that wasn’t fun and I think I have a clogged drain because of the gross ugly spider that’s in it. I am absolutely not unclogging that drain.. that would be a job for my father!

Spiders are just awful and I hate them!!

Feeling of Accomplishment

Ah Accomplishment!

Here was my homework for tonight:

• Complete a work sheet for a seminar in class tomorrow.

If you read the blog below..you probably noticed I tend to procrastinate a lot. Tonight I taught a piano lesson at 6, so I told myself I will do my homework afterwards. After the piano lesson I decided to finish watching Desperate Housewives then I’d go do my homework. The I went again..procrastinating.

Finally after Desperate Housewives was over I went down on the computer for a little bit.  Procrastinating. : ) I think it was around 8 I actually did go into my room and got my homework out. And guess what?? I actually did it! I finished it all by 9:00pm.

I just loved having that feeling of not having to get anything done anymore. It’s great. I thought to myself “Wow all my homework is done..I don’t have to stay up late doing it. Go me!”

Ah..feeling of accomplishment… Don’t you just love it??
