First REAL Job

Hey hey hey!!! It is now the third week in Summer, and I still like my job! My past money sources were either mowing my grandparents' lawn for a generous $20, or just asking Dad:). But this summer I'm working as a lifeguard at the community pool. It's probably the easiest job you could have. I show up half an hour early and swim eight laps. Then I just sit in a chair and watch the kids swim. If you know me, though, you'll know that I don't have the best patience with kids. I very often have to stop myself from kicking kids out just for annoying me. So I see this job as a way to make money, and improve my patience. This was a short entry, but whatev:)

Sadie Hawkins

Hey everyone! I haven't blogged in FOREVER! I guess I still haven't caught the addiction. A few weeks ago I went to the Sadie Hawkins dance. I went with my friend Bryson. He's a goofy kid (no offense) so he decided that in our picture we should act like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on our shirts. It was really fun going with a friend instead of a "boyfriend" or a kid who you don't really know. This was definitely the best dance of the year. For the record, while everyone else is "grinding", I dance with my friend Kaytlin in the strobe light. And we keep it clean!:) Just an update on my life... I'm running for ASB treasurer. I'm pretty sure I'll get nominated because I'm running against a weirdo, but I don't want to jinx it! I also got hired to lifeguard at the pool this summer. I have to take some training classes which I am dreading because it will be cold swimming in May. I'm currently playing softball. My team is owning this year! I don't know our exact record but we only have two teams left to play and we've only lost one game. We're first in the league right now. We have a game against Davenport tomorrow. They're the most arrogant team in the league, and our coach made it perfectly clear that he really wants us to beat them. We'll have to wait and see I guess! Well I'll try to keep this thing more updated, but I'm not making any promises. By the way....

FIVE MORE WEEKS TO SUMMER BREAK!!

Sleepover!

This weekend I went to a softball sleepover at Coach Andraya's house.  She isn't really coaching this year because she's pregnant. But she wanted to have a sleepover with us to get us more together.  She's really big on the team building things, and last year they really helped us. 

So fourteen of the softball girls went to her house yesterday after practice.  When we got there the entire dining room table was covered in chips, candy, veggies, and drinks.  We actually ate almost all of it:)  Andraya is a social worker, so she has all these games that she plays with the kids she works with.  A lot of them help us work on our communication as a team.   One of the games is called team juggling.  We all stand in a circle and throw objects to eachother in the same order.  It sounds easy but it gets pretty confusing.  

After we played a bunch of those games we just started chatting.  It's amazing the stuff girls talk about! I wasn't really used to it because most of my friends are guys.  But it was entertaining listening to them.  We also had a "dance off".  I almost won! 

We finally went to sleep around 2:00 after watching The Sandlot (best movie ever) and chatting a little more.  I'm pretty tired today.  Oh yeah and we didn't shower after practice or at Andraya's because we didn't want to waste her water.  That was pretty hard for me because I can't stand skipping a shower.  Atleast we got to sleep in this morning.  I wish I remembered my camera so this could be a little more interesting!  Well that's all I have to say about that:)

First blog EVER

I'm not really sure why I'm even starting a blog. I guess I'll just use it to keep family and friends posted on my life (as if i don't do that enough when I see anyone). Since I haven't seen relatives for quite a while, I'll give a little update. I'm in tenth grade and I currently have my driver's permit. Driver's ed was last October. All I have to say is watch out when I'm driving:) I played volleyball last fall and I'm already excited for next year. I wish there was more I could impress you guys with, but sadly there aren't many extra activities to get involved in around here. Except softball just started last Monday. If you don't know, I absolutely LOVE softball. We've only had four practices because State Basketball was during most of last week. I had practice today, though. In fact I just got back about an hour ago. Half of the practice it was snowing like crazy! It was pretty disappointing. I though winter weather was gone:(. Last year I played right field. I'm hoping I get that spot back, or I even get promoted to center or left:)

I'm writing like my train of thought, just bouncing from one thing to another. My grandparents just got here today. They're staying for a month because Grandpa is fixing up both our bathrooms and the kitchen. It's going to be really nice spending this time with them. I just hope they don't get bored in this tiny town! Sorry this is so lame, but I'm new to this blogging business. I'll try to do something awesome just so I can blog about it:)
