She wouldn't hurt a fly... or a spider.

Ok. So I'm minding my own business writing my girl's camp blog when along comes this little (or not so little) creature climbing around on my wall! I really don't appreciate spiders as much as God does, so I freaked a little. Of course it's my kind of silent freaking where I go into the kitchen to find something to put him in and my grandma thinks I'm hungry, and I tell her I'm not, I'm looking for a spider cage... but I digress. So I find a couple cups and stick him in so he can't get out. Of course then I decide that I want to take pictures of him. I get my camera and take a few pictures *cough twenty. lol. Let me explain. He was in a white cup first and you can't take pictures of something in a white cup because the flash makes it look like I'm in heaven or something. Big white light... not very fascinating... Plus my camera is dying. So I had to somehow get him in the green cup so I could use flash because without flash I could post a picture up here and say it's an octopus and you would have never known the difference. But again I digress. So I got him in the green cup took about four satisfactory pictures... but then what? Should he live or die?  ... it's me so... he lived of course... maybe. I threw him outside. It was raining so he might not have made it, but oh well. I don't know if I can go to sleep now though because I'm afraid his little spider family and friends are going to kill me in my sleep. Oh well, if I die remember I love you all. And Kathryn... I'm saving you and Brad a seat... don't worry. 

Sorry but I just felt like telling a long pointless story... just for kicks. 

Daughter of a King

So last year at girl's camp the theme was "Daughter of a King". I remember as a JC we had to put on a skit for the other girl's that had to do with this theme. I was so upset because I could only remember what we threw and not what we said. Well I was going through a drawer, and guess what I found! The skit! So now I'm going to post it here so I will never lose it again! :)

Once upon a bad hair day, a prince rode up Rapunzel's way.

From up above he heard her whine, upset her hair had lost it's shine.

Rapunzel to her maid did say, "I am a princess, born that way,

You are just a lowly maid, so hop to it girl, and fix my braid."

The prince thought her nagging was a plea and sallied forth to set her free.

Alas, she was too far away to quite make out what he would say:

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, throw down your hair!" She thought he said, "your underwear."

"No Rapunzel. Your curly locks." Rapunzel threw down dirty socks.

"Please, love, just your silky tresses!" She thought he said silky dresses.

In lace and frills up to his head, the prince's cheeks were blushing red.

"Rapunzel, do you have a rope?" Rapunzel dropped a cantaloupe

It burst in pieces on his head. "Oh bad catch!" Rapunzel said.

"Perhaps," he sighed, "this is a test." And bound by love he did not rest.

"OK, Rapunzel, how 'bout twine?" She heaved out her blue-ribbon swine.

By now the prince was feeling hammered, not to mention less enamored.

He growled up, "Do you have a ladder?" Rapunzel tossed out pancake batter.

It covered him from head to toe. She yelled, "It's better cooked you know."

At this the poor prince had to cry, then cupped his hands for one last try.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your braid!" Confused, Rapunzel pushed out her maid.

The maid fell squarely on the prince, quite pleased with the coincidence.

She nimbly jumped up off his lap and soon revived the flattened chap.

Turns out, the prince found something of worth; The maid was also royal by birth.

"Hello, my dear. Who might you be?" "The daughter of a king," said she.

Then smiling said, "For what it's worth, you'll find I'm really down to earth."

His young heart thrilled, he gave a hoot, for what was more, the maid was cute!

She set the prince upon his steed, then leapt behind with graceful speed.

Rapunzel watched them ride from sight. "I'm glad I finally heard him right!

I hope if they come back for more, they'll think to knock on my back door."

The horse rode off into the blue. The prince had discovered something true:

The most beautiful thing there will ever be, is a girl who knows her true identity.

The End.

Ok. To clear up some things... it wasn't a cantaloupe; it was a foam ball; it wasn't an actual pig; it was a tiny stuffed one; and as for the pancake batter... yeah that was real. Poor Bri. She knew it was coming and she signed up to be the prince anyway, so I figure just let her be covered in pancake batter. It was really fun. Hannah and I were the ones handing everything to Rapunzel. Yeah that was a good year :)

I WANT ONE!!!! :]

It's a chinchilla! Most look like mice with furrier tails though. But mice are cute too!

Mort!

Gloria: Did that big mean lion scare you?  Mort: Mmmmmhmmmmm! 

ADORABLE! 

This is Gizmo from Gremlins... I've talked about him, but I don't think I've shown pictures. Who wouldn't want a Gizmo!

Everyone wants a kitten... except maybe Tikla and people like Tikla.

I want a baby penguin that will never grow up!

BUNNIES! (Emphasis on the B lol)

Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy now? You know you do!

HAPPY!

I couldn't just let that be my last post. Doesn't this just make you happy! My next post will be a kitten or something. I have a lot of happy posts to make up for the last one! :)

Another Cool Quote

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around and shouting that he has been robbed. The fact of the matter is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

-qtd. Gordon B. Hinckley (originally said by Jenkin Lloyd Jones)

Cool Quote

It's going to sound depressing like most of the things I've said or thought about, but it changed the way I look at things in a positive way, so I don't think it's depressing.

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin."
