Friv

First, I'm just going to start this post with a disclaimer: I am not sponsored by Friv in any way, but I just wanted to talk about this cool gaming site. 

Friv is a free gaming website for pretty much all ages to enjoy. There are so many different games to choose from and the games are constantly being updated. Something I like about Friv is that it's something that people can like whether they are toddlers, teenagers, or grandparents, boys or girls. I think it's nice because my cousins and I always like watching each other play the games and we can even work together on some of them. Friv gives people a chance to kind of try out new things. There are little "game square choices" so you don't know what you're picking, really. That can have its bad sides, but is mostly a good thing because I have started this obsession with car games because I saw a car game but I thought it was an adventure game with little pets. It's awesome because Friv lead me to try out different games, and I actually ended up loving them! 

So I'd definitely recommend you guys check out Friv.com, because it is just so much fun to play games. Make sure you don't spend too long on there, though, and I'm warning you, it's extremely addicting! (: 

I also like Bored.com and Addicting Games, and the Apple Devices have great and fun games like Temple Run, Doodle Snake, and Angry Birds. 

In Cape Cod!

Sorry I haven't made a post in a week. My excuse: I've been busy. I have been studying for finals, preparing for my Regionals Synchro meet next week, and was with my cousins all day yesterday. 

I'm in Cape Cod for Memorial Day weekend, and I've been having a great time so far. We came up here Friday night, leaving right after school, and arrived at around 9. The next day (Saturday) my three cousins, Alton (9), Ian (7), and Logan (2), came up from their house an hour away and we celebrated Logan's 3rd birthday on the 31st. We went to the beach, played games, and just had a great time. Alton's friend Rashon came too and he was very well-behaved. 

I went to the candy store and bought a half pound of delicious fudge (half Marshmallow, half Peanut Butter). We had SO MUCH dessert and snacks in the house, it's sort of unbelievable actually... I will make a list: 

1) Mini Brownie Cakes

2) 1/2 LB Fudge

3) Potato Chip Huge Bag

4) Big Tub of Ice Cream

5) 2 Graham Cracker Boxes (Filled) 

6) Peanut Butter Cookies Dipped in Chocolate

Yeah. My aunt is like 100% against chocolate and any types of dessert so of course she refused to give her children any kind of desserts. But whatever, I love her anyways! So now we're kinda stuck with all these desserts in the house, but... we can live with it. 

And I don't even think I mentioned my grandparents. This used to be their house which they rented out to people, but now they stopped renting it out to people so now my grandparents, my family, and everyone on my mom's side of the family uses it. It's really fun and right by the beach and Main Street, so we constantly are having a great time there. 

Today, we're going to do some shopping in town and maybe go bowling. We definitely are going to go back to the beach since the weather is supposed to be pretty nice. Then we will leave tomorrow morning (maybe back in time for the parade at our house) and go shopping at the mall and hang out with friends because we want to catch all the Memorial Day weekend sales! :) 

Rainy Weather

Today, I just decided to have fun. It was pouring so hard, and I love the rain. Ever since third grade, I have enjoyed the wet weather. So I decided to go on a little adventure: I got into my swimsuit and raced outside. 


My cousin joined me after she got off the bus. It was awesome, because the rain would constantly go on and off. We'd be like, "Whew, now it's warmer again," and then it would surprise us and start pouring! 


Then my cousin Sarah pushed me into the mud and my stomach turned brown. So we rolled in wet mud for 5 minutes until our skin was the color of chocolate. After that, we had huge blue buckets on the driveway which were from the day before. They had all overflowed from the pouring rain. We sat in them and had a contest for who could stay in the freezing cold water the longest. I won, of course, because my cousin can't stand the cold! 


So basically I wrote this post because it's fun to enjoy weather, whatever it is. I don't know why everyone hates the rain; I find it so much fun to slosh around in the mud and get dirty and soaking wet. So enjoy spring's rain, and savor it, because pretty soon you'll be wishing for warm rain. Bye guys!

Typical Mornings

Typical mornings on school days used to be impossible. I had to set my alarm for 5:30 because it took me like 30 minutes just to get out of bed, 15 minutes to find out what to wear, and 5 minutes to dress and put on Bath & Body Works (that's a very important part of my daily morning routine). Then I'd eat breakfast, wash my face, brush my teeth, and drive in to school late when I was hoping for some extra help. Well, depressingly enough, that's my typical morning routine. Luckily, it WAS my old morning routine before school. This year, though, I think I really stepped it up. Being so busy got me used to conserving my time and not just sitting in bed. Now, I have gotten into the great habit of just getting out of bed. I use a great facial routine (Bath & Body Works True Blue Peppermint with Clean & Clear Morning Burst) and it really wakes me up when I start feeling drowsy. Also, I eat a healthier breakfast (a Greek Yogurt parfait with honey and berries) and it truly helps me to stay awake during the day time. So if you guys are looking for a good morning routine, get into these healthy habits, and I promise you'll be happy with the results. I have noticed my grades going up this semester when I started really getting into this routine. If you guys liked (or didn't like) these in-depth descriptions, please let me know in the Comments section below. Thanks!

Favorite Snacks

This is just a list of my favorite junk foods:

Smart Puffs/Pirates Booty
Popcorn (I love the Boy Scouts Butter kind)
Late July Mini White Cheddar Crackers
Goldfish (I love the hint of butter in the Original, and the blast of flavor in the Pizza)
Pop Chips
Body Armor Energy Drinks

Then I just love things a bit more healthy:

Pita Pizzas
Pita Chips (Stacy's Simply Naked rocks!)
Veggie Booty
Veggie Chips

And overall, I just love to eat. Luckily, I get a lot of exercise so I don't make myself too fat or anything and keep myself busy, but when I get the chance, I just enjoy sitting on the couch watching TV (while stretching, of course), and eating potato chips. Oh, I'm such a multi-tasker...

The Long, Winding Road

The long, winding road. I WALKED ON IT MYSELF! :P 

Goals

Hey guys, look at that: the new and improved seal stretch. Getting a seal stretch right (touching my toes to my head) has been my goal ever since 2006 when I did gymnastics as a six-year-old. 6 years later, I have reached my goal. 

Many other goals have been reached. In 2011, I had always wanted to get a 103 in Math. That goal was reached, now twice! 

Then, there are some goals I'm still working on, like getting straight A's in Middle School, and convincing my parents for a pool (if that's even a goal). 

But overall, I just want to make it clear that I will continue to work at reaching my goals, no matter how long it may take.
