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.
