Hey everyone! I realized it has been forever since I blogged. And for that, I am truely sorry. -Truely. lol Not a whole lot has happened since I wrote. Well, Avery was in the hospital. It was just an out patient thing but we had to go out of town to a special children's hospital. The whole process took FOR-EV-ER! I just sat in the waiting room and txted all day. (what would we do without cellphones?!) Lol Anyway, that was last week. He's good now. Mom and dad have been babying him all week. Honestly, our entire existance revolves around a 12yr old now!! lol (no resentment there at ALL) haha.. But yeah, thats about all. Just about an hour ago, something slightly horrifying happened! Remember the old crazy lady with the orange hair?? Well, I just had the weirdest flash back EVER!!! My brother needed some film picked up from Wal-Mart and me, being the caring sister that I am, when there after I got off work to pick it up for him. I went it and, yet again, it took eons for them to get ready. (didnt I say I wasnt going back there?!?) Anyway... I did. And then mama called so I had to buy groceries there too. When I finally finished, I bagged all my stuff and headed out towards my car. Ok... you know that face you make when an animal runs in front of your car? The face of utter shock.... well, I made that face, stopped walking, and simotaniously gasped in the crosswalk. The orange haired crazy lady was at Walmart!!!! I couldnt believe it! I thought she would be back in "Sunnysprings Florida" or wherever?! And of all places, why would she be at the Wal-Mart she wanted to sue??? Apparently she was still visiting her son, the glamor shot model. LOL. I made a mad dash towards my car (I was wearing my uniform and I had a feeling she would be able to recognize me. -Especially with my pictures in my hand!) The funny part was, she parked beside me. So I had to keep my head down the entire time I was putting the groceries into the trunk!! lol |

Hi everybody! I have -sadly- done something stupid yet again and decided I might as well share with you guys. : ) Where should I begin??? Well; for starters, I hurt my wrist by jumping in a kiddy pool (dont ask) and so I was wearing an arm brace thingy. -It wasn't THAT serious, it just felt better when I wasn't moving it and... i liked looking like it was a big deal - lol! Anyway.. I was wearing my armbrace the other night and just chilling in my room, when I noticed an old candle laying behind my dresser. "Hmm." I thought, "I should light that. Its almost empty. It'll die out after an hour or so." I went to the kitchen, got a lighter and lit the candle. I then sat the candle on my FLOOR (which is made up of flamable carpet, btw) and sat on my bed. Having one candle in my floor didn't make alot of sense so.. I lit 4 more. Now, my entire room was lit up by the 5 candles and I was pretty happy with myself. It gave my room a very calm feeling and I was like, "I sure am glad I found that candle! This is so nice." I turned the radio on and just sat on my bed to watch the fire. Everyone just left me alone and let me chill-ax. (although my mom came in once to see if I was trying to communicate with dead people) lol! Well... time went on and around midnight, my dad came in and told me to go to bed and blow the candles out. (The first one never did die down. ?!?) I said that I would and he left. Now, in case you haven't noticed, i am NOT a very graceful person. When you try to picture what happens next, just imagine me being highly uncordinated like Big Bird, the Jolly Green Giant or Gumby. >hahaha< Alright, I stumbled out off bed. -my glasses were off- and I went over to the part of my room that was glowing. I bent over the candles and with one big breath, I managed to take out 4 of the candles. Now, when I did this, sparks came from the first, almost empy, candle. And those sparks got in my hair. And i jumped around and hollored. Because I thought my hair was on fire. But... it wasn't!!! =D Once I realized that I still had a full head of hair, I bent down again to blow out the last candle. -again, that stupid first one!- For some reason, it didnt occure to me that a candle that had been burning for 2 1/2 hours was hot (go figure) so when I reached out to pick it up -with the brace on my hand- I got burned. I flung my hand back away from the candle but... my arm brace hit the candle and knocked it over into my FLOOR!!!! I was screaming as wax slid out of the candle and onto my carpet. :P Amazingly, the candle STAYED LIT!?! So now the burning wick was sliding onto the carpet! I had a visual of my room bursting into flames. What was I gonna do?? I tried to pick the candle up again but I couldn't because of the cast thing! So, did i simply use my other arm? Of course not! Thats way too simple. What did I -Big Bird- do? I started spiting into the candle to put the fire out! LOL I was lying on my floor facing the candle, spitting and screaming, for about 3minutes. Then, somehow, it finally went out. *whew!* And then I started getting the wax out of my carpet. (its still there) The wax burned my fingers yet again and then, I finally scooted all the candles away from the waxy carpet. The area where they had been was SO HOT! Seriously, if I fell asleep with them burning, my room would be GONE right now! =0 Thankfully, however, I still have a room.... and my hair. |

Alright, so if that title didn't get your attention, there's just no hope for you. : ) lol Before we get started here: I just wanted to clear up the fact that I did not MEAN to commit a crime. I was just trying to help an old lady!! (See? This is what happens when I try to be a good citizen!) haha... Ok, enough waiting, this is what really happened: Ok.... remember the cameras I had at my party?? Well, a couple of days ago I dropped all 4 of them off at the Wal-Mart photo center. (which, btw, i do not suggest) For some reason, I was able to pick up 3 of the camera Wenesday but the 4th wasn't finished till yesterday. -???- Weird, right. Anyways.. So i got my pictures Wednesday, I did the whole little 'crop and edit' machine to fix up all the bad pics. Now, I am not good at working technical things, at ALL. But, I do know how to work the photo finishing machine at Wal-Mart. (some call it a gift) lol! Anywayyyyyy... back to the story, yesterday I went to pick up my last set of pictures. When I got there, there was a line and the old man who runs the photocenter was busy filing so I just kinda stood there and did some people watching. -one of my favorite hobbies- jk! ; ) As I was looking around at all the other shoppers getting their "Always Low Prices," I noticed a lady standing by the edit machine. Now, please dont think bad of me for this discription. But to understand the whole story, you have to be able to picture what I was dealing with here. 0: ) She was probably about 60yrs old, she had on a BRIGHT shirt, dyed orange hair, and thrdr thick glasses that match my grandpa's. Now, thats all I will say, because I think that gets my point across. -she didnt match her surroundings well. I made eye contact for a split second and BAM, she had me. "Maam! Do you know how to work this thing?!" (btw; she was also quite loud) Now, I consider myself, a pretty nice girl. I try to be kind to the elderly and always be polite. So, even though I was in a really bad hurry. -i was going to meet my aunt and was already running baaad late- "Yes maam. How can I help you?" (my mom would've been proud) lol She handed me a small wallet sized glamor-shot picture, of a MAN!!!!! I am not joking. I am not exaggerating. I was being serious. It was a really cheap looking shot of a man back in the 80's, wearing MAKEUP, and with these little sparkly things in his gigantic curly hair. LOL!!! I couldn't say anything at first when she handed me the picture. I was waiting on her to say, "Oh, that was just a joke picture" or "look what happens when boys dare each other to do stupid stuff." But, nope. She just said it was for her son and that she was from Florida. So... I made her some wallet sized pictures and two 4x6. She thanked me over and over. I felt really good about helping an elderly person. I thought, "You go Puritan! I just made that lady's day"... even if it was an incredibly odd picture. = / Well; let's wrap this thing up, shall we? I got my pictures and walked over to the other editing machine and started to make copies. I was trying to hurry because I was running horribly late and should have left Wal-Mart 20min earlier. I was really absorbed into cropping and coloring my pictures so it really caught me off guard when I heard people fighting behind me. 'What on earth?' I turned around to see the elderly lady in the bright shirt standing there with here sheet of horrible pictures, yelling at a Wal-Mart employee!! "YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY PICTURE!" She yelled. "Listen lady," said the worker. "You will not leave my store with those pictures! Dont make me call security." (What was going through my mind?: something like, "AHHHHH!!!!") "THIS IS MY PICTUE!!! I JUST DROVE 10 HOURS TO SEE MY SON AND GIVE HIM THESE PICTURES! I PAID FOR THESE TO BE MADE 20YRS AGO. YOU JUST TRY TO STOP ME, MISSY!" But the Wal-Mart employee held her ground. "Listen lady. There are copyright laws. It is a crime to print those pictures. It's illegal." (this is where me breaking the law comes in) "IF YOU DONT GIVE ME MY PICTURES, I WILL FILE A SUIT AGAINST WAL-MART! DONT YOU THINK I WONT!" I was very surprised at how well the employee handled all of this. "Security." And the Walmart man came to the photocenter to "talk" to the crazy lady. I, meanwhile, avoided eyecontact and ran away as fast as I could. I was so afraid she's say, "WELL, THAT GIRL OVER THERE HIDING BEHIND THE PHOTO MACHINE DID IT FOR ME!" |

I had my party! And, guess what;... it went great!!! Since we watched Pirates of the Caribbean, we decided on a pirate theme. My mom went all out and bought all sorts of pirate decorations. -even my CAKE was decorated like a treasure chest!! (I felt like a 6yr old little boy! lol) But it all made sense once everything was set up. Around 20 teenagers came. It was really great! We all ate pizza and played the corny pirate games my parents came up with. lol JK I put disposable cameras on the table so all the guests got to take the pictures. I can't wait to see what everyone took pictures of! I promised to mail the pictures along with the 'thank you' notes so all the guests can have a memory from the party. (i think i saw that in a magizine) Once it got dark, we all watched the movie outside on a big projector in my yard. My dad is really good at electrical stuff, so we were able to set up speakers all over the yard. Making our movie, AROUND SOUND. (lol) The neighbors could hear it! My mom set up a concession stand and we had movie popcorn and candy. I made a poster and decorated everything. It turned out great! I was sooo happy with it! That was definately my favorite birhtday party yet. : ) |

Sorry it has been FOREVER since I've written! Things here have been crazy with birthday party plans. Oh, btw, I am now 17. : ) This is a very big birthday for me. No because of the actual "age" but because... *drumroll* I get to have a party!!!! This is my first offical 'grown-up' party. : D The last few years we've just done the family dinner... go shopping... take cheesy pictures with my cousins... yada-yada. lol But this year; this birthday is going to be amazing! I've invited 30+ guests over to my house. The very essence of my teenage being is now hanging by a thread here. (yes it's THAT important) Lol This one night makes the difference between "Amazing party haver" and "Who let her have a party?" Hahaha... Anyway, Just thought I'd let you guys in on this important milestone in my life. ; ) |

Now that you've all had a crash course in "everything about Ashley", I think it's time for another story. ;) When I had first got my drivers perment, like everyone else I was sooooo excited. (remember the stick-shift incedent? lol) Well.. this was before that and I had just recieved my perment. I had driven up and down my road and to town a couple of times but nothing big yet. I was too scared to go all the way out there and drive on busy roads, the main hwy, ect... Now, my dad is obviously not a very bright man. -lol- and one night he had the brilliant idea to teach me how to drive under the very WORST of conditions possible. My family had been out to eat with my dad's boss in a city about 45min away from mine. It was around 10pm and I decided I would sleep on the way home. I snuggled up in the backseat and right when I started to drift off, my dad pulls the car over on the side of the exit ramp. He flipped on the light and said, "Wake up sleepy head. You are about ot learn how to drive in bad conditions. This way you'll be prepared!" My mom, ofcourse, protested but... I wanted to learn -stupid me- and he insited, so, the next thing I know, I'm adjusting my mirrors. "Here's what you do," he said, buckling up in the passanger seat. "You want to get back on the main raod here and then turn onto to ramp. Your gonna speed up as to get going. Then put your blicker on and whip on in there!" Huh?? =0 I had never even driven 50mph! It stared to rain as I headed onto the interstate. My mom and brothers sat in the backseat, panic written all over their faces. (which did not help AT ALL!) Amazingly, I managed to get onto the interstate without trouble. I was so scared, I sat ith my back straight as a bored and my hands were shaking. I was not ready for this! "You need to just clam down, and relax. Lets listen to some music." HE TURNED ON THE RADIO! "I can't pay attention with that on!" I said. But, apparently no one heard me over the loud music, hard rain, and the tv my brothers were watching in the backseat! -AHHHH!!!- So, we continued on. At one point, I was in the middle lane and two transfer trucks were on either side of me. If you drive, you know how that causes your car to rock back ond forth. Well, I thought it was going to rock my into one of the massive trucks! I started crying and I remember thinking, "We're all going to die. Can they bury 5 people at one funeral? Or will we all have our own seperate ones??" It was terrifying. Dad finally cut the radio off. But that didnt stop the tears that now added to my touble seeing in the rain. The trucks finally passed me and I was still crying. (only way harder now. By this time, you could clasify it as "Sobbing." lol!) We pulled over and I got back into the backseat. My dad drove us all home. And we decided that had been the worse idea in the history of the world, ever. Needless to say, I didn't drive on the interstate again till I had my license, it was daylight, in my town, and the car was silent. LOL |

Hola! I just got home from my Creative writing class; where, we not only WRITE but also study grammer and give speeches. -oh joy!- Well, tonight I had to give a speech to persuade the class into doing something. (TONS of choices there) Well... I decided, "Naw. Picking a good topic and preparing all week is too easy." So, I waited till this afternoon to pick a topic and decide how to present it. (brilliant idea) I picked "Choose off-brand products over name-brand stuff" (catchy, I know.) lol So... I went to Wal-mart and bought a Fanta and an Orangette. -their brand. and some teeny, tiny, plastic cups shaped like animals. -they were adorable! lol- Anyways, I decide to have a taste test to see if my class could tell the difference between the expensive kind and good 'ol cheap soda. This was suppose to prove that they are the EXACT same. {They are apparentkly not because everyone could tell.} Woops! :*( And... while i was looking at the adorable animal cups, I didn't think about me needing 20 cups and that the pack only had 14. -People had to SHARE their cokes! haha- But thats not the best part, check this out: The guy before me did "How soft drinks kill people" !!! Ironic, huh? SOOOO... I guessed my presentation totalyl bombed this time. But, atleast I did prove that by switching to the cheap-o drinks, you can save $120 a year! (and you didnt even have to go to Gieco!) LOL |
