one lovely blog award

K, so I got this blog award from Alisha (Mercy's Miracle)

For some reason, this doesn't strike me as a blog award suited to my blog... My blog isn't the lovely, emotional or even serious type.  The only reason people would ever cry from reading my blog is because they were laughing so hard.

Anyway, Alisha. Since you are my best friend, I will do this anyway ;)
So, I tell you 7 random facts, and then pass it on, and you do the same. Here we go:

1. Every morning when I wake up, I am freeeeezing cold, so I put on long sleeves and a sweater. Once I start school, I cannot stand wearing sleeves. Its the weirdest thing! I can't concentrate (And math needs a lot of concentration, just so you know) when I have sleeves touching my arms!

2. My favourite colour is orange. Sometimes, I'll think my favourite colour has changed to lime green, or yellow, pink or light blue... but nope, it always comes back to orange...

3. My main form of communication with my best friend is facebook... Yeah, sad, right? Its her fault for not moving with me... :P

4. Music is my life... I have an average of 4 or 5 hours of music lessons and practices in a week... I play violin and guitar.

5. My birthday is in 5 days... My first math test is also in 5 days... Happy birthday to me! And thank you for your awesome gift, Alberta school board!

6. I have never been as excited as I am this week for youth group. Seriously. It's not even something special or anything... Maybe just cause there hasn't been youth almost all summer!
I am also excited to have subway tomorrow... I know, right? HOW EXCITING! Between youth band practice and youth group, I don't have time to come home for supper, so me and Sloan are having subs. Am I an easily excitable person if having subway for supper makes me excited?

In case you were wondering, I get a six inch on honey oat bread with white cheese and green peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, banana peppers, pickles... For some reason I think I'm missing something... I actually just get every veggie they have except olives. Olives are gross.

7. I am writing this while listening to my daily announcements for school. Yes, the beauty of homeschooling you can blog AND know whats going on in the school!
Oh, I just remembered! (Actually, Mr. Macdonald reminded me) There is a school picnic tomorrow afternoon! Guess what? I'm not going.

AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNND: Since most blogs I read don't read mine (I mean, the authors don't read mine. Of course the blogs them selves don't read anything!)

If you read this, consider yourself tagged. And please post a link to your blog in my comments section so I can read seven things about you.

Mollen rushes in from outside into the bathroom... We hear water running... Minutes later, she emerges, proudly displaying something in the palm of her hand.

"Mom!! Look what I found on the side of the road!!!! Its an earplug!!!"

We look at the object... It is, in fact, and earplug. A used, dirty, 'found on the side of the road' earplug.

Me, Mom and Sloan: EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO THROW THAT IN THE GARBAGE!!!!! AND WASH YOUR HANDS WITH LOTS OF SOAP!!!!!

Mollen goes back into the bathroom, and when she comes out this time, her face is downcast...
"It was my best friend..."

Dreamin'

Peyton: Uh, Soo... Do I get to go babysitting today? (With the most hopeful look on her face)
Me: What?!

Peyton: do I get to go babysitting with you today?

Me: Um, I'm not babysitting today!

Peyton: Really? Is Sloan going?

Me: No... No one is going, none of us are babysitting anyone today!

Peyton: Really?!?

Me: Yes, really. You can go check my calendar if you want, but I'm pretty sure we're not babysitting today...

Peyton: ...

Was that a dream?!

While at our grandparents, a certain bedtime occurred that changed Gagey's life. He was being put to bed by my mom, when he decided he wanted to ask Jesus into his heart.
"Cause then when I pray, God will  say 'HEY! That's my friend GAGE!'" he explained.

We were all summoned to the bedroom to witness this, and sat quietly while Gagey prayed a short prayer.

As we're all getting up to leave to go get ready for bed, Charter tells Gage:

"And guess what? God loves you so much, he sent Jesus to DIE for you!"

The world came crashing down.

Through wracking sobs and torrents of tears, Gage manages to get out, " JESUS DIED?!?! HE'S DEAD??!"

Smooth, Charter. Smooooth.

You know what would be stupid?

Mom: No Charter, what would be stupid?

Charter: If they made non water proof cups...

You know what I would hate?

Mom: No, Mollen. What would you hate?

Mollen: I would hate it if I had a baby, and he grew up and learned to talk, but he spoke chinese!

Thought process of a teenager

Reading social studies text book on globalization:

" 'Globalization' is now a common word. But if you had lived in the first half of the 20th century, It would not have been part of your vocabulary. No one is sure when this word was coined or who coined it, but language experts agree that it did not appear until the 1940s or 1950s. And even then, it was rarely used. It did not come into widespread until the 1980s, when American economist Theodore Levitt made it popular by using it to describe changes in technology and social behaviour that allow huge corporations such as Coca-Cola and McDonald's to sell the same products around the world..."

Wait... What was I reading about? I could really go for a bigmac right now....
