I have a habit

of spilling things on myself. In seventh grade it was yogurt, a pretty gloopy kind too, right on the front of my pants. Last night we had a fund raiser at church. It was a cruise theme, so we had lots of little goldfish to put in individual jars. I was holding the bag while Miss Artist was trying to scoop the fish out with a shovel (we didn't have anything better to use at the time) when I got distracted for a moment and the top of the bag spilled over onto my lap! No fish were hurt, but unfortunately it looked like I had had an accident! Well the dinner was going to start in about 15 minutes so I decided I would run home to change quick. On my way to the car (about 2o feet away) who should be coming in but the 2nd counselor in the bishopric who is also my math teacher! I quickly explained that I was attacked by fish and ran home to change. Of course, the incident was brought up all night, and is not likely to be forgotten soon!

Reasons I like Wearing Tights

1. They keep my legs warm.

2. Since my legs are warm, they don't get ugly goosebumps!


3. No shaving!


4. Don't have to worry about showing too much skin. (within reason!)


5. They make me feel like a kid!

Not too bad, all things considered. A bunch of these I will someday read, I just haven't gotten around to. And a bunch I almost had to read for school but didn't.

Photography

Pictures are so much fun. I really love to just grab a camera and point and shoot over and over. Sometimes I get lucky and will get some awesome shots. I've even started looking at the different cameras (even though I love my little HP). I think it would be super fun to learn more about cameras and in the future I will definately take a photography class. Look at professional photographer's pictures is really fun too! It makes me want to pay them lots of money to take my pictures. ;) This is one I just discovered on the Board today. There used to be more that I liked but I can't remember them anymore! Maybe I should be a professional photographer when I grow up! ;)

Cleaning

Since Kim called me on not posting on my blog so I decided to appease the masses and update! A couple weeks ago I decided to my piano keys were looking gross and needed cleaning. Since it made a big difference, I took some pictures to show you all! :)

This is the before, pretty yucky huh?

And the after, nice and clean!

Here's what the cloth looked like when I was all done. Gross!
