Thursday and today I have had 2 unexpected days off of school due to the extreme cold weather we've been having up here in Wisconsin. Its really nice, although I'm more worried now for finals next week -I've missed out on two days I could have been preparing for them. I mean, sure, I've looked over my stuff and done some homework, but I'm sure the teachers had more things for us to learn that are probably going to be on the finals, so now we only have 5 days before the semester finals instead of 7.


Also, I'm still (well, always..) looking for feature requests, just let me know if you want a feature or know someone who deserves one!

And if anyone's been wondering, I did not go to the doctor. I found out that what I had was (strangely enough) ringworm. My mom had some ringworm medication, I do'nt even know from where, and she told me to use it, and if it doesn't help then she'll take me in. It's been working so horray! I have no clue where in the world I would have contracted ringworm, but whatever, its better now.


Last night I watched the movie The Sensation of Sight. It was amazing. It's an Indie film, which makes me love it more for some reason.. but anyway, it was great. Not a single person I've talked to about it have ever heard of it, so I'm letting all of you know about it. lol.


My mom came up to me last night, and told me that, if I don't get a job, "tomorrow" I'm not going to be able to go to college- my parents have no money anymore, even for day to day things, we still have to pay back money from my older sister going to college, lately we've been forced to remodel a bit, due to things going completely wrong. Our furnace and stove broke in the same week, we switched to a wood furnace in hopes to save money over the next year, we got new siding because the old was rotting and falling apart. I don't even have a car yet.
I have 800 dollars in the bank.
That's not even enough to solve my car problem.


Thoughtful quotes that have been on my mind lately.

"For we have brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." -1 Timothy 6:7

"I'll die the same way I came into this world- all alone and with nothing." -Daisy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button



I'm going to try to lose weight this year. I know I say this a lot, but I really am motivated this time. Since Jared has been my gym partner I've been really good at going to the gym.
Also, I am doing this for my own personal reasons, not because I want to look good. I want to be healthier, I want to be able to fit into my favorite clothing line again.


As many of you may know, I'm holding a contest for the next couple months! Read on to see if you're interested!

The Theme: "100 Challenges Theme"

Feel free to pick any one of them- there's obviously 100 to pick from!) You may enter 3 photos per theme, and you are allowed to enter as many themes as you want!
