Happy Valentines day!
There is never enough love to share in the world. You should spread the love everyday, but just in case you dont remember the rest of the year, there is always today! Give your family hugs and kisses and tell them all that you love them. You just might make their day. Look at the chocolate my mom got me for valentines day. They are very yummy and delicious! Want one?
Yup, that beautiful time of year is here again. Christmas music blasting on the radio and non stop caroling on commercials brings it to reality. I am not complaining because Christmas is my favorite holiday. I enjoy driving home in the dark and seeing all the wonderful Christmas lights shining. It just opens my eyes that this fulfilled year is coming to an end. Brings back all the memories of the year that were great.
I have done most of my Christmas shopping but still have to get a few more items. Thats right, I am Santa Anna. Ho ho ho! Keep it on the low, but I still have to get gifts for my pack. Maybe some special treats and toys. They arent really picky. Even kisses and hugs they will enjoy.
This is our Christmas card that I created in photoshop. Isnt it great? The main photo is of my girl, Princess being in the Christmas spirit. The photo was actually taken for my photography class when I was in school but it makes a perfect Christmas card. I love my family and wouldnt give it up for anything. We are perfect.
I cant believe tomorrow is my final day in high school. The last day I will walk through that school as a student. I remember at the beginning of the year I thought the end would never come. Now, its just a few hours away and I just have memories flashing by me. Time doesnt slow down but I just wish it could for the last day. I am excited to graduate and be done but I am sad and scared at the same time.
I want to wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mothers Day. This day may only come once a year but we should really celebrate it everyday. Mothers are some of the strongest and bravest women in the world. I know because my mother is one of them. She adopted me without knowing that I would be a psycho child. Then raised me to understand myself better. She filled me with love and that to me makes the perfect mother. If it wasnt for her I wouldnt be where I am today. Thank you mom! So, to all the mothers out there. Be proud of yourselves because the strength you have is something we wish we all had. The things you do are marvelous. Hope you all had a nice love filled mothers day and dont forget to celebrate it everyday.
First off, she is a dog. A fluffy chunkalicious dog. I know there are people out there who will not understand how a dog can be my best friend and more than just a best friend. Dont worry this post is dedicated to her and I will explain why she is so special to me. Than if anyone feels like arguing with me about it you can but its not a subject you can get me to change about. I also know there are a lot of people who will understand how she is my best friend. Its easy for you if you feel the same way about your dog, cat, horse, bird, lizard, fish and any other animal you have. The connection between a dog and its owner can be as strong as between two people. It can even be stronger.
The sun was shining high in the sky for the rebirth of Jesus. Okay, that sounds really religious but I do not usually bring up religion. Its like politics. Just one of those subjects that will cause drama because everyone has their own view and tries to convince people to agree with them. Plus, we all know how I feel about drama. Yuck! But, I am going to explain my views a little bit.
Let me share something. I am not a real religious person. I do not go to church and I am not a person who will tell you God will save you. That does not mean I do not believe in God and Jesus. I am a believer and a proud Catholic but I am not one to hate if you are not. Dislike someone because of their religion? To me that is wrong. So what if they have different religious views. Everyone has differences and that is what makes people unique and special.
You know how most people like one person in their faith the most? Like, a lot of people will pray to one person? I am a Jesus lover. Woot. Go Jesus Go! I dont know why. Maybe its because my favorite musical is Jesus Christ Superstar. I know that whole movie. Hehe. I use to act it out. You must see it if you havent! Oh, also Ted Neeley is Jesus. My Jesus! I mean that is what Jesus looks like in my eyes and he played Jesus in the musical. Surprisingly, if I do pray I do not pray to Jesus. I pray to God. God is who I go to but Jesus symbolizes my faith. By the way, no one can convince me to change my views. So, if you have a desire to try go ahead. Its not going to work on me. I mean I will do another post down the road more into my views and what I believe and what I dont. So, we can discuss it then.
Easter was lovely. My mom and I brought Grandma over for the day. She is doing well which is a blessing. She has her interesting stories but at least she is not hitting people with her walker or trying to escape. We had fresh ravioli for dunch or linner whichever you want to call it. They were yummy and filling. You know what was sweet? Grandma asked to clean the dishes after we ate. Well, she always does but we always say no. I dont think its the best thing for her to stand that long. Plus, the dishes are china and she might drop one accidently. Its moms job to clean the china dishes because if I chipped or dropped one she would kick me out. Hehe. She would not but she might have steam coming out of her ears.
After we dropped off grandma back at the assistant living I took the drivers seat in the car and took mom for a spin. Not literally! But, it was a perfect day to practice driving. Easter Sunday. No stores are open and the streets were pretty empty. The way I like them but hard to get in a busy suburb like this. I was calm and did well. I even passed a bicycler without freaking out. Yay!
So, my Easter Sunday was great. Had great bonding time with family, yummy food and a good driving experience. Three things to make a perfect day. Tomorrow is Monday but I am not complaining. Why? Because I have Spring break tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday so I am happy. Woot! I hope you all had a lovely Easter if you celebrate it. If not I hope you had a great fun filled Sunday.
Ever feel like your left out during Valentines Day because you do not have a boyfriend or girlfriend? No husband? Let me tell you something. You do not need one to celebrate. That whole look on this day is not right. It can cause a lot of sadness on a day that you should be happy and feel loved. You have other family members and friends to celebrate with. You are loved.
I had a lovely valentines day. You know who I spent mine with? A lady I love so much. She has my heart. I spent my day with my mom. We went driving around the country together listening to music. Taking photos and having laughs together. That to me was a great Valentines Day. So, I hope everyone had a lovely day and you are loved. Believe it! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Walking into my school you enter a community of teenagers that all push to go to the best colleges out there. To impress and fit in. To discover who they are or to make their parents proud. It seems like when you are a senior, college is all you talk about. None stop. Personally, I hate the subject.
Do I plan on going to college? No, I dont. I know you all have something to say about that. Maybe how I should go. I might like it. Bla bla bla. I appreciate all your opinions and enjoy reading them but college is not my place. Why? I know what I want to do in life. Many teenagers my age dont but I have my passions. Plus, college would just be torturous for me. I want to get out in the world and experience it. That is how I will accomplish my dreams.
I would rather just get a job when I graduate. Pet sitting or something with dogs. Plus, I can always take a class to learn more about photography or dog training. I have always preferred working instead of school anyways. Its a known fact that a lot of kids just go to college to grow up. I can grow up in a job just as well. Also, a lot of teenagers are pressured into it by friends and family. I know how it is. Really, the only reason I was leaning towards college was because right now that is what makes you “cool” at this age. Saying your not going to college can make you feel like people do not think you are smart or will get far in life. Thats wrong though. I can get just as far or even farther as long as I push myself.
College is not for me. It is not my cup of tea. I visited a few of them and they just did not click. It is okay though. I have my mom’s support and her guidance. She is a mother who will help me if I dont go or if I do. My mom just wants me to be happy and succeed the best I can. So, right now there is no college in my plans. I prefer not to right now. It makes me stress if I feel like it is something I must do. I will show you that I can succeed with out it.
My Grandma is one tough lady! So, we have known a long time ago that she suffered from dementia but just recently has it taken a big effect on her life. Beware if my grandma is in her demented upset mood do not get in her way because she might just hit you with her walker. Since her dementia has gotten to the red zone, where she doesnt know there is something wrong with her and she is being violent, we decided that the best choice for her was to send her to a hospital to help get her on some medication. It will help calm her anxiety and hopefully decrease her dementia without taking her spirit away. So, the next few weeks we will see how it all goes. Luckily, she still knows me and my mom but thinks her husband is alive. Let me just say with a disease like dementia you cant just be upset about it and let it bring you down. Yeah, it is sad to watch but it is something you just got to laugh at the stories she tells you because it is one of the best ways to cope with the situation.
Its time to say goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010. Even though 2009 is coming to a close there are events that will never be forgotten. Every year has its ups and downs but its the up parts that are worth remembering. I thought I would share and refresh your memory of some of the grand events of the year of 2009.
One memory of 2009 is turning 18 years old. The one age all teenagers seem to be so excited for. Why? I have a few ideas. It is considered the age of maturity and being a grown up. Except one thing. Age is just a number and it is not who you are. Another reason is because it is the legal age that we teens can move out from our parents and be free. I told myself I would end up doing that when I am 18 but did not happen and I have no regrets. Living on your own at such a young age is way too hard so I am thankful to be with my mom.
Another memory which was very exciting was becoming a senior in high school. The last year of school I have to do. Unless I decide to go to college or something but its the last I got to be stuck in torture. That leads to the main reason why I am excited for 2010. Graduation!!!
There is one memory that is my all time favorite of 2009. Do you think you know what it is? If you have read my blog for a long time you should know or maybe know. It has to be Callie. Having her part of the family is the greatest memory of the year. She is full of life and just a joy to have. I am glad I fell in love with her and scooped her up into my arms.
I hope you all have a lovely and fun new year and make a lot of great memories in 2010. Celebrate and shoot those fireworks high in the sky. Bye bye 2009 and hello 2010!
