"Oh, what a to do", as Pooh Bear would say, besides "Oh, bother." The last week and a half have been so crazy!! Here's a compilation:
1) My Papa and Grnadma Keegan came up and over.
2) I was majorly sick for no apparent reason, I threw up every time I moved. Had to stay home twice and, and so I missed a day of my Pre-Algebra CRT's.
3) . . . . Guess I wasn't as busy as I thought, since I only had two things going on. Well, rest assured that it was very hectic for us!!!
Anyways,
About the Keegans; Elle had a dance performance, so My Papa and Grandma Keegan majorly surprised us, and call to say that they were going to came down to see her dance. The night they called, everyone(Mom, Dad, and I) was in major shock.
No clue what was up with my sickness, it really pissed me off, since i missed two chamces to see Ross, and I had to resort to telling him through my best friend, which tottaly sucked.
So, I found out today that my Scienc teacher is going to take us on a 3 mile round trip, but only if we have enough volunteers.
I have a solo in my concert, but the bad thing is that I go off pitch, or too high, for you non-musicians.
We're haveing trouble getting me more contacts, so i've had the same ones in for two weeks, even though it's not recomended. And they're tough to get out, anymore than a day,a dn they practically glue themselves in. Which, it's a good thing; but it makes it super annoying to get out.
Till my next crazy day!!! (and I promisde to have more Pooh Bear sayings. Maybe. :))

In search of the cutest bag ever!!!
One weekend, My Papa and My Grandma Linda invited me over to stay at their house so that I could help Linda pick out clothes to go to a wedding the following weekend.We(Linda and I) went to ten stores. Ten Stores! She was given a hundred dollar bill to go spend. She used it on ONE SHIRT. Maybe I've been around my mother too long, but J.H.C!!! One shirt, for one hundred dollars. I still cant get over it. At the end of our day, we decided to hit Sears Grand in search of whatever else she could blow her money on. We wandered over to the Formal Attire section, and while she was looking at dresses, I was looking at sunglasses and umbrellas. (I know, sunglasses and umbrellas next to the Formal Attire? I was just as baffled as you) Lo and Behold, right next to the sunglasses were the little prom clutch bags. Normally, I hate and despise those itsy bitsy teensy weensy, beyond annoying cute little clutch bags, but I've gotten to the point that I am desperate for a little something to hold my stuff.
So, after telling Linda that I would be right there if she needed me, I proceeded to try on every pair of sunglasses and try out all of the purses. In the middle of my umbrella swirling spree, my phone rings.
It was my sister, telling me every thing about her day with Grandma Debby. She got Heelies, and they watched New Moon, and they ate at
Rumbi Grill. . .the list goes on and on.
Back to the story
So, I wandered over to the dressing rooms,still talking to Elle. I waited for a good 30 minuets. No Linda. Then, my phone beeps. No ID, so I ignore it. Elle says goodbye, and then my phone rings again. So I answer, and it's Linda! She tells me to go up front, so I do, we check out, and we leave to go have lasagna. (yummmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite food in the world.)
This weekend, Me and Mom went to the fabric store to pick out fabric for my window treatments. On our way back form the cutting table to pick out even more fabric, we run across little sewing packets, I immediately spot the cutest bag that I have ever seen. I asked mom for it, and she said that she had found a pattern for a purse like that online,and that it would be cheaper to do it that way. So ensued the hunt for just the right fabric pieces. I agonized over colors("Which color, blue, purple, orange, red, pink, brown, green. . .?) and then patterns. (Stripes, emblems, polka dots, random dots, plain, Fleur De Les. . .?)
I eventually decided to go with Brown, Pink, Stripes and Emblems. Once we got home, we looked all over for a pattern that I liked. Once we found that, we dealt with sizes. In the middle of that, my Grandma and Madi came over. Madi had gotten a pair of Heelies, and Dad, Elle and I helped her to use them somewhat better than what she had beforehand. After they left, Mom and I got down to business while Dad watched Amazing Race 16 and Bullrun. (1)The cowboys were the first time to arrive, 2)Team Lambo is still in.) After a few mishaps,we finally got the cutest bag ever made finished, I already holds my earrings, a pen, a book, my Zune and lipstick. Its a good little bag, it fits most of my books, is reversible, and pretty sturdy. I look forward to using it.
Until my next crazily exhausting crafty day!!!

Kingdom Hearts II
So, even though it took me almost four years, I finally finished Kingdom Hearts II!!!!
Wooohooo!!! It also happens to be the first and only game that I have completed that wasn't a puzzle game. Because I have completed more than my fair share of puzzle games, so I am extra proud of myself for finishing a role playing game all by myself with only help from the walkthrough that I printed out.
How lame am I, to take four years to finish a game? Wait, I guess that it proves that I actually have a life; that I didn't finish the game in one week. Now, the only reason why I even decided to finish the game (I do admit that I wanted to delay the ending) was because I finally was able to finish the Kingdom Hearts I volume 4 manga. If I hadn't read that, the game would probably still be sitting in my cupboard, gathering dust.
A few months ago, the new Kingdom Hearts game, 365/2 Days, (three sixty-five over two days) had come out, so I badgered my Mom into getting it for me. Generally, I'm not very savvy with games, but in the time it had taken us to get from the Walmart to our house, I was already on level 4, and had found the answers to some of my questions, due to cryptic words and no explanations in the little movies. I had even purchased a guide, so that really helped my progress.
Did I mention that I got addicted to the theme song, Sanctuary, by Utada Hikaru? Yeah, I like it so much, it's practically the only song I can stand to listen to at the moment. Some of it is in unpronounceable Japanese, but that just adds to the appeal.
I wonder how long it will take me to finish Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts 365/2 Days? I guess that I will just have to play them to figure that out!!!
See You in four years again when i finally fininsh them!!!!

Easter Weekend
Well, for Easter, my family, Me, Mom, Elle, Declan, Stacy, Ashleigh, Madi, Grandma, Aubrey, Tasia with her boyfriend, Taylor, Jerel, and even Bindi, all went to stay 7 miles above Heber in my Aunt Stacy's house for the weekend. We got there pretty late,after nine o'clock, but in about three hours, we had a disaster of cupcakes, all the greens washed, with the places set and all the candy arranged.
When Ashliegh came in to tell everyone to go to sleep, I told Asliegh to make sure she txted the Easter Bunny and tell him not to make the gifts obvious.
Smart one, Josie, smart one.
So, because of me opening my mouth, my smart-Alec grandmother decided to hide my gift. Of course, I find everyone else's, but not mine. My Mom told me to look high, so I'm all looking in the alcoves, and in the rafters, nothing. After some fruitless searching, I finally ask for a bit of help.
And, lo and behold, I see this itty bitty glimmer of pink behind this huge plant on top of a really tall cupboard.
After berating my Grandmother for a while, I settle down to open my present. Now, I have a thing with presents, if it's something that I had really really wanted beforehand, and I get it, I. freak. out. High pitched, barely audible, screaming, jumping up and down, not breathing, the whole nine yards. I had gotten a chocolate bunny, lots of chocolate eggs, and the computer game I had wanted for my laptop, FATE: the Traitor Soul (expansion pack, no less). I promptly installed it on my laptop, and played with it for a bit before getting ready.
As we sat down to eat, I was relegated to the little kids table. I had issues with that.
At the Big table, the talk turned to, of all things, the different things the Three Amigos had seen, and the majority of it was boobs.
But really, when you sit down with Tasia, Aubrey, and Ashliegh, you learn to expect the unexpected. You never know what they're going to say next, but you know you're going to be rolling around on the floor, laughing so hard tears flow like rivers, and you split at the seams.
After devouring as much food as we could possibly cram down our throats, we waddled out the door, and back into the valley, each of us going our separate ways, off into the sunset, one going East, one going West, one going- not even. We just drove down the retarded driveway, and off to our respective destinations.

Spring Break Day 1
WooooHoooo!!!! Spring Break!!!!
Or not.
It's snowing! In what's supposed to be the middle of Spring! I mean, come on, Lady Winter, get with the program already! Maybe she just didn't check her newsletter as to when winter-and all that comes with it(Snow, hail, sleet, ice, etc.)-is supposed to be gone.
I hope she gets a late fee.
I mean really. Spring Break is supposed to be all green leaves and baby birds, and pretty flowers, traveling to other states to visit family, (as long as you're not in College) and all that fun stuff. At least here in Utah it is.
I really hope that the snow disappears fast, so that I can go do something fun this week.
Or not.

Sunday Morning
Again I woke up at 8:00, this time by the phone, since i had the bright idea of keeping it right next to my bed, and directly above my
ear. Smart one, Josie, smart one. After the oh so disappointing news that we were not going to Papa's house, i promptly proceeded to fall asleep again.
For three minuets.
Then my huge noise-oops, sorry, my little brother-comes clomping down the stairs like a fridgein' elephant parade, and wakes me up again to tell me that his Sally car had capsized. A Tragedy, I told him.
After attempting to go back to sleep again, I gave up as my family decided to shake the ceiling so hard that I was certain that it would fall down; and trooped outside to deal with the messy business of Spring Clean-Up.
After procrastinating for as long as possible, I grudgingly went outside to pull weeds. I was so bored that I started to talk to the worms and the potato bugs. Here is a conversation as follows:
ME: Hello, Mr. Worm. Having a nice dig? I hope that the dirt is nice, since i just loosened it up for you, and got rid of quite a few neighborhood plants.
WORM: wiggle wiggle squirm squirm coil dig dig coil
ME: Well, gotta go and pull some more weeds. See ya around
WORM:Dig dig coil squirm wiggle wiggle
Yes, yes, I know, you're probably thinking, "Why isn't this girl in an Insane Asylum?"
Well, I have no clue myself, so I'm with all of you who are wondering.
So, after all of that drama with the worm, I came inside and personalized my computer.
Now, it's dinnertime and then bedtime.
Until my next crazy day!!!

Whirlwind of Fun
So, today, I woke up at 8:00, a world record for me, went upstairs and said hi to my Dad, then dinked around with Elle and Declan, trying to figure out breakfast. Mom and Dad called me in to their bedroom, and as I was posing for pictures, Mom pulls out this heavy, long black flat thing and puts it in my hand. I knew instantly what it was, and promptly proceeded to scream and not breathe over my brand fridgein' new laptop!!! I then had the bright idea of going to IHOP, and my day is as follows:
1)IHOP-Breakfast
2)OfficeMax-programs
3)Costco-FableHaven #5
4)Imax Theatre-How to Train Your Dragon
5)Chucky Cheeses-331 tickets
And now it's off to bed!
