Hello, Monday!

This Monday, I'm thinking about someone I like a lot. He's really sweet and I kind of maybe sort of definitely have a tiny little minuscule gigantic crush on him. We're around the same age and we've got quite a lot in common. 

The big problem is that whenever I see him, my mind goes completely blank. There's like NOTHING there! The night before I normally see him, I try to think of things to say to him that don't make me sound (choose any of the following) crazy/stupid/silly/uneducated/completely in love, but they all vanish! 

My mom says whenever I see him, I look very standoffish. I don't want to look standoffish. I just don't want to blush! So I think super hard, "Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush." And then I end up looking like this.

Sigh.

I'm not really sure what to do about this. I keep trying to email/talk to him whenever I can though. Who knows, maybe he'll be a future "Saturday Sweetheart" in like 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 years. Look out for a cute guy on my blog... Other than my family members of course. *Wink.*

Short Story Sunday

Dax stared at the steps. The kids would get out any minute and then he could leap and lick and wriggle around them and then they’d walk home with him and they’d never have to go back to the big brick building all summer and— Phew. He was getting ahead of himself.

 He stared at the stairs again, trying not to think about summer but he was so excited and the kids would be too and they could run and play and he could lick their hands when they ate those drippy things on sticks that Christopher said were so tasty and—Dax! He said to himself. If you keep thinking like this you won’t be able to wait for them!

His eyes followed a lone ant that was wandering along the bottom step, looking for crumbs from the last lunches to be eaten on the steps until fall. Dax wanted to chase the ant, to forget about waiting the ages it took for the kids to get out of school, but he didn’t.

He thought he heard feet and he leapt up, barking joyfully, but it was only the mailman across the street. Dax wanted it to be little Jenny or Ron but they weren’t out yet. He put his head between his paws and howled softly. He wanted Jenny’s sticky hands to pet him over and over and say “Oh, Dax! Did you wait for us? Yes, you did! Yes, you did!” and then all the little Mary-Jane clad feet would crowd around and pet him and he’d wag his tail so hard! Or Ron’s freckled face to be thrust into his and kiss him on the nose and tell him how he loved him and he couldn’t wait to play fetch as soon as they got home!

Then the bell rang and Dax sat up as hundreds of feet pounded towards the door. His first summer was going to be absolutely amazing.

Saturday Sweetheart

Happy 10th birthday to our Adorable Doggie, Buster Brown!! 

Friday Funnies

I don't really like Justin Bieber. (Gasps from every "Belieber" who is reading this!) I just think he's a bit too popular for his own good. But I don't really want people to like injure him or something (he's a person too, ya know?) That being said, the video Edward found on YouTube the other day was pretty funny. Soo... WITHOUT FURTHER ADO....

{I don't own this video, I don't think it's right to hurt people/throw things at people, I just think the remix is hilarious. ;) }

Thoughtful Thursday

I've been thinking about growing up more and more lately. My parents and I were even having a discussion about what will happen to my room when I move out.

Me: You're going to keep my room when I move out, right?

Dad: Nope. We're knocking down the wall between your bedroom and our bedroom and making a huge master bedroom. 

Me: (getting a bit worried) Uh.. What about when Edward moves out?

Mom: Oh, we'll knock down the wall between the bathroom and his room and make a gigantic bathroom. 

Yikes!!

Now, that was a joke of course (I hope?!) but it does kind of inspire me to think about the future. My future (according to me and my big dreams) changes a lot. Here are the top three ideas:

1. CEO/Fashion Designer of Leaton Design: A successful business woman with a world-wide chain based in New York, NY. Married to (?) an awesome, supportive husband that works either Leaton or something of his own. 3 children, all cyberschooled with a nanny.
2. Lawyer: Woman lawyer that is fiery in the courtroom but sharp at getting her client's wishes. Married to another lawyer. 3 children, all cyberschooled.
3. Dolphin Trainer at Sea World: Friend to all her dolphins. Trains and presents in shows and spends all day, every day with them. Not married, no kids.

Okay, so they sound a little silly. I'm going to try to start Leaton this summer though. We even have our own Facebook page! And I'm hoping to get a website up where you can actually buy things! 

Oh well. All in God's hands, right? That's how I look at it. Just can't wait to see what He wants me to become!
