Some things that happened this week

Some things that happened this week.

So I painted my nails with an LA colors Color Craze nail polish in Mega Wat, a very light pearlescent pinkish nude. It was a very cheap nailpolish, and while the first coat doesn't look that opaque, you can build the color well. To top that, I poured glitter onto my nails and then rolled the tips in any excess glitter, creating glittery tips (but not uniform, I will try that another time). Last I put a few coats of clear nailpolish over it all to seal the glitter and the polish itself. It's a very pretty and girly nail design, and very easy.

Don't mind my no makeup face (like literally I had just woken up but my mom said my hair looked good), but I went out Friday night to see the rowing movie Backwards with a large amount of my citie's rowing community. They gave out prizes in a raffle, but sadly I didn't win (actually a girl that used to be on our team won, but I won't get into that). It was really fun and it was a cute movie, though I admit it was heavy on the cliches.

Well that really wasn't that long of a post, but thank you for reading!

Brick House

Hello yet again! Today has been somewhat hectic. I had to take 3 tests in a row. Math is really not my strong point though so I don't think I got a good grade on my chapter test because I didn't do 3 questions because class had ended. I did well on the quiz I guess (noo results from that yet). I did get a 93 on my English test because I missed one question.

So today when I got picked up from school my mom and grandmother had this massive (and very heavy!) sample of these bricks for our floor in the kitchen. They aren't going to be in this pattern (more diagonal I think?) and maybe not this color, but it's progress.

However, we are getting our garage doors put in very soon and I'm so excited!

You see those? Those, unfortunately, happen to be the shameful (and also very painful to look at) garage doors that we currently have (we have 2 sides). But our new doors are really pretty, and unlike these, they don't look like they're made from an old RV.

The clouds were so pretty today and it also sun showered this morning. The weather has been so nice unlike my first day of school when we got flooded (no exaggeration) ( But, because I'm classy I didn't take off my shoes).

I rocked my Sperrys today like I do most days (AKA I don't own enough shoes). Well, thanks for reading this and have a nice day!

9-24-12

Today was a nice day, despite a quarrel between a family member and missing breakfast so I wouldn't miss the bus. This morning at school there was a massive spider web. I wanted to get a decent picture of it, but alas the web was out of the sun's way and it was difficult attempting to take a picture.

As you might be able to tell (if you squint) it was a rather large spider web. People kept joking about tearing it down and shoving each other into it, and I disapprove.

I got a lot of nature shots with my camera (I use a Fujifilm Finepix JX) and some turned out better than others.

When I got home from the bus stop I was greeted by some gorgeous butterflies. I'm not sure what type they are, but they remind me of the Painted Ladies I hatched in 1st grade. I think you should prepare for the spam.

I think this is one my sister took. One of my favorites, if not my favorite.

I could only get one picture of one of the butterflies flying and it turned out blurry.

What's going on with home renovations?
Most of what we have gotten done is the kitchen which is still completely bare, but we are making major changes!
We are:
-Remodeling the kitchen
-Remodeling the bathrooms
-Installing new garage doors
-Etc.

This is the progress so far on kitchen/living room. As you can see there was some hideous wallpaper in the kitchen. And we have a new TV cabinet my aunt gave us because her's is too small.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this! Have a wonderful day!
