Life's so sweet

It's been a looooooong time... haha

2006-02-13T10:05:00.000-08:00

Hey all you bloggers,
Well, I know it's been a long time since I posted, and a lot has changed. First off, I have a new puppy... I named her Princess, she's white and is a Chiweiner (dachuahua). She's about 4 months old now, but I got her when she was only about a month and a half. I spoil her rotten. She can be a little demented sometimes, but that's normal. She's a small dog, like a dachund and chihuahua size.

Anthony and I have parted ways... Enough said about that... Tim and I are friends again.... That makes me happy, but we're not back together like we were...

My overall grade for my English class was a B... I'm registered for Speech 106 (interpersonal communications) and a PE class (weight training)... In the weight training, it's an open lab, I have to do 54 hours this semester, the semester is 16 weeks long. I hope it's fun.

I decided to switch my bedrooms again... I went from my sponged yellow walls, to solid yellow walls... The room that was mine is now that office, but don't worry, it's not sponged anymore. It took me three days, but I painted it all. Well, I didn't do all of one wall the second night, because my dad snuck in there when I was taking a break and he finished that wall... I finished it on Saturday morning.. All the walls are Antique White, except one, which is Linen (like a dark beige)... We got a new desk, it's really cool and there's lots and lots of space, unlike the previous one. We left the armoire, because 1. we couldn't get it out of the room even if we wanted to, and 2. because I don't need it naymore, with the big closet in my new room. My new room has solid yellow walls, and book selves... I actually has a closet, in which I'm so happy for. I'm going to still have my star curtains, but we're going to make a little valance for it... I'll post a picture when it's all done and put together (oh and clean)...

Well, tomorrow's Valentines day. Yum, we're having ribs, potatos, green salad, jello salad, and dessert (mmmm, angel food cake, mmmm)... I'm not at liberty to say what mom and I are going to do for our Valentines, because mine will be reading this later, hehehehehe... Princess was originally going to be my Valentine, but now Tim is... He's not much one for holiday's, so he doesn't seem too enthusiastic, but I have enough enthusiasm for us both, HAHA... I know, you probably think it's weird that my ex is my Valentine, but we're friends, so I think we can be...

I joined a group called One 2 One... It's a peer mentoring group... I have to take this class called S.T.A.R which stands for Supporting Teens at Risk... I like the class... I'm also going to go to a camp in August with them... It's going to be soo cool. The camp is at Sacramento State University. It's only 3 days long, but there's a lot that's going on in those days...

Well, I guess this is all for now, I think I sufficently (sp?) talked yalls legs off... LOL... I'll post sometime soon...

Hello All,

I know it's been a while, so I thought I would post something... YaY!!! My Parents and I are going to go up north and visit Anthony for his Birthday, I'm so happy.... Can't wait. We're going to be there for 4 days... The day we leave to go up there is the last day of my English Class at the college, I'll be so happy that class is over, for more reasons than one. My grade is getting better I think... I don't know how I did on my last test, but I got a 48/50 on my Comic strip paper. (FYI, that's a 96%).

Thanksgiving at my house was better than at my Aun't house... We had a lot of people here and it was good to see everyone... My sister and brother in law were here with my nephew... Staci kind of had and attitude, but that's her personality. I cooked the Turkey and it tasted good, if I do say so myself, although, I think it would have been better if it would have came out of the oven that day of, but whatever.. LOL... WE cooked the Ham the same day. Our turkey was 24.95 pounds and the ham was 8 pounds... We still have some turkey left over, it's in the freezer though. We got sick of eating all that turkey stuff, LOL.

I was at Target yesterday to get some jeans, and I saw a sweater that was really pretty, I was going to get my mom to get it, but then I noticed the price!!! It was $99.99, I was like OH MY GOD!!

I think that sometime next week, my mom and I are going to get our nails done... Yup, that's right acrylics... YaY! My nails haven't been growing very long and then they break when they gett a little long. So my mom and I figured, if they are going to do that, we might as well get some nails put on. I'm going to get a french manicure, with glitter in the dust... I like having nails... When I was younger I wasn't too fond of them, but I like them now.

So, we got a new computer, because our old one just like died... We got an HP comp with a flat screen moniter, and a new HP printer that scans, copies, and prints... It's really cool. Next on my list of gadgets to get for the computer is a new webcam, mine is crap.

I can't belive that it is almost Christmas... It feels like just yesterday, it was Fourth of July! LOL... I've got some of my Christmas shopping done, but I still have more...

Well, I guess that this is long enough for now... I'll post again someday....

2005-11-19T21:48:00.000-08:00

Hello all,
Well, it's Saturday night and I'm tired and bored! We went to my Aunt Berta's house for Thanksgiving dinner and we jsut got back about 9:00. We had a good time, I petted the bunny rabbit's they have and hung out with my cousins. Earlier today I had an eye appointment, I will be getting new glasses. I'll keep my frames, since they're still in style. Oh, we also went to the grocery store today.... Then I made some fudge when I came back from there to take to Aunt Berta's. hmm, well, I guess that was all for today. lol....

Tomorrow, we have to finish cleaning the house and buying groceries... On Monday, daddy is off, but we have stuff to do down the hill all morning. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cooking and then my sister, bro in law, and nephew will be here late from AZ, YaY!... On Thursday, of course, is the finishing cooking of the turkey and stuff. I think my friend Jessie and her family are going to be coming over on Friday somtime. Saturday, Mark and Staci are going to leave to go back home... Then things will calm down, be more boring then they are now.

Well, I didn't do the best on my english tests. I got a 72% on the first one, and a 68% on the second... On the second one I thought I was going to get worse than I did, but I did better this time than the last test we took. I turned in my writing assignment, so I'll have to wait for 2 weeks to see how I did... I hope I did good, so my overall grade for this class will go up. It's passing, but not as good as I want. My overall grade is a 74.57, which is a C.... I hope to get at least a B. I'm trying really really hard.

Well, I guess this is all I can think of now... I'll post again sometime when I have more to say, Ha.

A Week Later....

2005-11-13T20:01:00.000-08:00

Hello all,
Well, it's been a week since Anthony went home... I still miss him a lot, but he'll be back sometime... Soon I hope... I really wish he could move down here, but I don't think that'll happen any time soon :-(... In other news... I got a 37 out of 50 on my writing assignment ^~^... I'm still getting a C, so I'm working harder on the next one. I hope to do better with it... I don't know how I did on the last test, I don't think I did too good on the second half, but I think I did pretty good on the first part. I hope I did better than I think I did.

Well, I have a new CD... It's Green Day "American Idiot"... I like it. It's funny, on the back, it says Explicit Content or something like that... It's not too bad. It says the F word a time or two or three... I haven't been able to hear anything else, lol...

Well, one of my friends told me about this mentoring program.. It's called NTLP (National Teen Leadership Program)... I'm going to go to an informational meeting soon about it... It sounds really cool. I'll post more later when I get more infor about it.

On Friday night, my friend Jessie came over and spent the night... We stayed up until like 3:30... She had brought the lap top they have their game "Sims 2" on and I was playing with that while she talk to one of her friends... Then we went and watched some tv, and before we knew it, it was 3:30... Then I got up at 7:40... Jessie's sister came over and then we all went to the mall for a while. We were mainly in Payless trying on shoes... That was fun.
Since I had only gotten 4 hours of sleep I was sleep deprived by the end of yesterday... I don't think I was making sense to anyone, let alone myself.. haha

Well, I have an eye appointment down in Fontana on Saturday... so maybe I'll be able to see better. YaY! I have to go to the dentist on Tuesday also... It's to get a cleaning... And this time, it's not going to hurt me, since it's a regular one... not root scaling.

Well, I think this is long enough for now... I'll post sometime...

All Hallow's Eve

These are the halloween pictures I said I'd post... Don't Anthony and I look scary???? LOL Jessie looks Cute....

TaTa,
Candi ^_^

Anthony's gone home now :(

2005-11-04T17:55:00.000-08:00

Hello all,

Well, Anthony is home now :( ... Mom and I put him on the plane a couple hours ago. We had our pictures done yesterday ^_^ (That's that picture over there -->)... We had a great time when he was here... We did a lot of things, such as... Watching movies, had a yard sale, did halloween decorating (including a pumpkin), we even made caramel apple popcorn balls... We did LOTS of school work, we went bowling (my dad beat both Anthony and I ^~^)... We went to our local zoo, but it was LAME!!!!! It was like barn yard animals... There was a kangaroo and a reindeer though... We had lots of fun on Halloween... I was the "Corpse Bride" (I'll post those pic's above this...). I looked really creepy, but cool at the same time. Anthony looked scary with all the blood on him. My friend Jessie came over, she was a cat, and then her sister got there (with their parents) and she was Marilyn Monroe... We went trick or treating and got some candy (mmmm Candy)... Anthony helped me eat some, but I still ate so much that I got sick LOL...

Other than that, Anthony and I just spent time getting to know each other better ^_^... I'm really going to miss him, but he said he'll come visit again soon.... Well, sorry to make this so short, but I'll post this now.

TaTa,
Candi ^_^

Stuff, Stuff, and More Stuff ^_^

2005-10-29T21:19:00.000-07:00

Hello All,
Well, today we had our yard sale. We had to get up at 5:30ish ^~^... When we got out there to get all the stuff out, there was a guy waiting across the street already... We were like wow!... I had fun, but it got kind of boring at the end. Anthony and I cleaned out sooooo many of my storage boxes, and I got it down to two boxes... My dad has a box that is big and he told me that I could put all that's in the two smaller boxes in that. So I'll do that like tomorrow or sometime.... I made $11 today, but I didn't really sell much. The rest of the yard sale stuff is going to go to the salvation army.

Tomorrow we're going to go bowling, and then to the zoo... I don't know what time, but sometimes tomorrow... I just know that I'm going to sleep in, seeing how I have gotten up at 5:30 the last two days.

On Friday, class passed by really quickly. Mrs. French told some people to shut up, it was so funny. We spent like an hour and a half on one sentence. Mine was correct ^_^... We have a test next week that I need to study for. After class I asked Mrs. French if she had read my revision of "The Rebel", but she hadn't yet, so I'll probably get it next week. I also asked Mrs. French if she remembered a girl named Kristyn Rhodes, and she did, so she knows that she's my sister. She said that when she saw my face and my name, that a little bell was going off, but she couldn't figure it out. Then when I asked her about knowing Kristyn, it all came to her. So, I was like yay, she remembers my sister! I told her that Kristyn's an English Major, but I forgot to tell her that Kristyn wrote a book. I'll tell her that next class.

Well, I think this is all for now... I'll post again sometime...

LIFE!!!! Crazzzzy!!!!

2005-10-24T22:16:00.000-07:00

Hello All,
Well, I've have had a crazy month... Well, first of all, what I said, about single life and all... I've been busy with my high school work and College English class (^~^) I'm not sure if I'm doing better in my class, but I did fine with most of the workbook pages, I still need to work on some of the subjects though. I gave my revision of "The Rebel" to my teacher and asked her if she would like look at it and tell me if that's more what she wanted. She said she would look at it and I guess give it back to me next week. It's not going to help me for this coming up summary I have to do, but it'll help me with all the other ones.

Well, Anthony is here, you can refer to his blog for more info on him ( www.antsadventures.blogspot.com ) I will post a picture of my hair, seeing how I got it cut this morning (YAY)... My hair was like 30 inches long before I got it cut. It's a really good hair cut, my hair stylist ROCKS!! It says some other things about my hair on Anthony's blog, so go look if you want to know. LOL...

I bought a new CD on Saturday... It's Lifehouse, my favorite group, they ROCK!! My parents and I were at the mall because my dad needed glasses... We had a wait, so why not go buy the CD that you want, right?

Well, I guess this is long enough for now, HAHA... I'll post my picture soon then, maybe right after I put this...

2005-10-12T20:21:00.000-07:00

Hello All,
Well, first off, my mouth doesn't hurt at all from my root scaling, and my teeth and gums are looking and feeling better. I'm caught up on my school work, and even a little ahead. I still need to work on my English for Friday. I hope that I did a good job on my test... I'll find out Friday. I didn't hear what she said to do with the writting assignment, so I think I'll revise it just in case that's what I was supposed to do. I'm going to look more into chapter two to try and prepare.

Other than schoolwork, I've been trying to get my bedroom cleaned and organized, I'm almost done. YAY!! Yesterday, Jessica and her sister Melissa came over for a couple of hours to hang out... That was fun. Then today, Melissa was trying out for a play that VVC is putting out, and they invited me to go watch, that was fun. Melissa did a good job. Jessie gave me a poster of Rurouni Kenshin (An anime show I watch), that was nice of her to do that and the poster is really cool. I've also talked to them and Randy online... Anthony's been away this week. I will talk to him later I guess, lol.

We got our new Modem today, and it's working.. Panda's not on though, so I'll try and see if it'll run with that on. I worked on it for like and hour when we first got it, but it wasn't working. After mom got back from taking me to VVC, it was working! So, hopefully, it'll continue to work.

I also got my new bedspread and sheets today!! yay! I washed my sheets, but I think I'll make up my bed with the new stuff tomorrow, because I want to vacum my bed and then dust my room. I'm going to rearrange my room after Anthony gets here, he said he would help me move stuff.

Well, that's about all for me right now. Looking forward to Halloween as usual LOL.

TaTa,
Candi ^_^

Yesterday and Some Other Things

2005-10-09T12:35:00.000-07:00

Hello All,
I know I just posted like two days ago, but I had to post and tell about my day yesterday... Well, I slept in for one thing yesterday, but that has nothing to do with anything, lol... Mom, Dad, and I went to the Mall to go to Ozels about getting mom's ring fixed, that took about 15 minutes there... After that, we all went to the Verizon Wireless booth in the mall and mom and dad got me a new cell phone :D... Now, when I'm at the college, I can call for a ride home... Mom still has the other cell phone though, but she said she'll only use that for emergencies and stuff. My phone is a Samsung Camera phone... I like it and I'm grateful for my parents spending money to get it for me :)... Well, then we went and had lunch and Panda Express, yummm! We saw Roger Beam and his son Daniel, we didn't talk long, since they were just getting ready to eat. After that, Mom, Dad and I went to Payless (Dad stayed outside though) and got mom some new tennis shoes, I saw some cool boots that I liked also, but I didn't try anything on, only mom did. Then, when we came home from the mall, we were looking for the mail in rebate for my phone, but we couldn't find it, so I called the girl who sold us the phone and she had forgotten to print it out, so dad went and got it. He brought it back for me to fill out and then he had to mail it yestersday, so it would be post marked, since it ends the 10th, which of course is tomorrow...

We all went to get some mexican food for dinner, mmmm. After that, I went and I cleaned in my room, I got one drawer in my dresser organized and I cleaned off my piano... I still need to clean out from under my bed and then I need to finish the dresser. I'm trying to minimize my stuff, seeing how I have so much of it, LOL. I'm going to rearange my room soon also, because the way it is now, there's not a lot of room elsewhere... Today though, I have to do a bunch of math, so I'll have time during the week to clean the house with mom.

In about two weeks, my friend Anthony will be here. His mom might come down for a weekend also. She's really nice, I hope she can. **Hi Anthony****Hi Lori****Hi Aleasha** ^_^

Single Life is fine so far, I've been staying busy. Tim has called and messaged mom a few times yesterday. While mom understands why Tim and I don't make a good couple and that being apart is going to be better for us in the long run, it still upsets her to hear all about it. She doesn't handle stress well... But I think she'll be ok. Tim, if your reading this, I really hope that you could get on with your life, I don't wish you anything bad. There's someone out there that will be a better girlfriend for you that I ever could. I guess it's good that you're the one who got the guts to end it.

Well, I have to go listen to my evil math dude cd. Then I have to do four math lessons and a test, sometime between today and tomorrow. I also am going to work on some of my English homework, either today or tomorrow... That way I'll have the rest of the week free other than going to Class on Friday and meeting Debra Friday afternoon... Althouhg, on Tuesday I have to go back for the second half of my root scaling, it shouldn't hurt afterwards, seeing how the other side wasn't sore afterwards. I think that I might be having an allergic reaction the the Oriquix stuff, because ever since then, my bottom lip has been really chapped. I think that it's about over because it's soft today.

Well, I'll stop yacking now, LOL

TaTa,
Candi ^_^

Tough Day

2005-10-07T17:47:00.000-07:00

Hello all...
Well, I'm now offically single... Tim and I got into a fight at school, and he dumped me :S. We had decided before that to take a two-week break where we don't talk at all, but I guess he didn't like that idea. Well, anyways.....

School is going ok I guess... I have no clue how I did on my test that we had today... I was SOOOO nervous, and I'm not sure I remembered everything. I got my "The Rebel" Summary back... I didn't do too good on it, Mrs French was grading it like this:
50-45 = A
44-40 = B
39-35 = C
34-30 = D
I got 35/50.... I suck, but I should do better next time... She told me in the little note she wrote that I don't go into depth and my comments are superficial. :'(... Hopefully, I did good on my Test and not as equally bad. It was a tough day.... Although, the bright side of the day ealier was that I got out two hours earlier.

Mom took me to the Halloween Discount Store to get some stuff for my Corpse Bride costume... I got a black silk rose bouquet entitled "Dead Roses", We got some costume jewelry with a necklace, clip-on earings, and a wedding ring looking thing. We also got some fishnet panty hose, I'm going to wear some regular panty hose so I don't get little marks on my legs. We're going to go to the Salvation Army and try and find some shoes that would go good with them.

My friend Anthony is going to come down and visit Mom, Dad, and I. He's going to be here for Halloween, but his Dad is taking him and his sister to Disneyland, and then Mom, Dad, and I will go and pick him up. Then, on the 24th, Mom, Anthony, and I are going to go to Head to Toez [my hair salon] to get my hair cut and highlighted. Anthony wants to cut the bulk of my hair off, which I asked Barbara [hair stylist] if he could, and she said that it was fine. I'm going to cut off about ummm, 11 or 12 inches off my hair, I'll still have a bunch of hair though, because I have like 27 or 28 inches of hair, lol... It's going to be a little expensive, but I'm getting a new look, so, it's worth it...

Oh, yea, after my root scaling, I didn't feel any pain... They didn't have to numb me with a needle, because of this new numbing stuff called Oriquix. It's a liquid that they go along the gum line and release it... That stuff tastes NASTY! When she was numbing the top of my mouth, the Oriquix was going down my throat... EWW! Every now and then, it would start to thaw, and I'd make a noise, so Marina [Hygynist] would numb me some more... It was painless... Kind of bloody, but whatever, lol... It was kind of sore every now and then after we got home and I thawed out, but it wasn't bad... So I doubt that I'll be nervous on Tuesday, or at least not as much. My appointment was supposed to be at 11:00 AM this coming Tuesday, (like the last appt.), but someone either deleted it or didn't schedule it, so now it's going to be at 2:00 PM on this coming Tuesday... Well, Wish me luck, and pray it doesn't hurt afterwards, (it shouldn't though).

Well, this should be long enough for now... Yall are probably thinking, SHUT UP already girl, LOL! Post again soon (maybe, LOL)

TaTa,
Candi ^_^

Bloggie for Candi

2005-10-07T10:50:00.000-07:00

Hi Candi,

I did this bloggie for you, let me know what you think!

Love ya,
Kristyn

2005-10-03T20:29:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
It's been a while. Well, what's gone one with me? hmmmm... Schoolwork, schoolwork, and more schoolwork! lol... Hmmm, my Mom's birthday and then the next day I went to Disneyland... Then the schoolwork :S. Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist and get root scaling at 11:00 which is a deep cleaning, where they have to numb you :'(. I hope it doesn't hurt as bad as I've heard. They are only going to do half my mouth tomorrow, the other half, next Tuesday :'(. Mom has to have oral surgery to remove one of her teeth on Thursday at 8:30... Dentists are EVIL!!! We'll both be glad when it's over.

Well, my college English class is going good I think. I feel like I'm learning things. I guess I'll see... We have a test on Friday. We got to take like a little preposition's test last Friday, which I know I got over 90% on, because she called my name on the list of people who don't have to retake the test next week. We had to write a summary on the story she had us read called "The Rebel" (Written by Jack London), that she'll give back to us on Friday. I really like my class... Mrs. French is funny. Last friday, she let us out an hour early, because the AC wasn't working, and it was really hot inside and out. It's a long class, but that's ok... Four hours isn't too bad.

So... For Halloween I'm going to be "The Corpse Bride", that is going to be soo cool. I love halloween. I've got almost everything I need... I just need a wig, a veil, a bouquet and some fishnet stockings. My Mom and I were thinking that the veil should be made out of Dark Blue Tule to match my dress. I've got some black nail polish also, I bought it for $1 at the Dollar mart. I have blue eye shadow that I can use, and then I will use red lipstick with a white cast over it... Well, I'll get a picture of myself to post when the time comes...

I'm thinking of getting my hair cut soon... Not too short, but just short enough where it doesn't get stuck under everything all the time, LOL... Comes to my waist now, almost to my butt. When I do get it cut, I'm going to get it highlighted. Hope it turns out good. I'm going to donate the hair I get cut off to Locks of Love, if they'll take it. I'll have to talk to my hair dresser about it.

Well, Kristyn, I'm thinking about you tonight, I know you went to the WWE Monday Night Raw Homecoming... You should send me pictures ^_^...

Hope you didn't work too hard today Anthony... But I hope you had fun... Did you find a costume? ***Hi Aleasha***

Well, I think this is long enough for now... I'll post later....

TaTa,
Candi :)

Hello All,
Well, I got my fillings the other day (Thursday) and my cleaning... Which came with bad news... I have to get root scaling (waaa) but I guess it'll help me, so I'll do that... They're going to do one side of my mouth at a time. Then after my gums heal, I have to get a cleaning every like three months for a while :S... Luckily it's a normal cleaning... Hopefully my teeth will be whiter also :). Oh yea, my dentist office also gave me a thing that tells about the bacteria that's growing under my gums :S

I've been a bit overwhelmed with my school work. I have a lot of hard classes. Luckily I'm almost done with most of them for this month. I just have to catch up my advanced math :S. I got behind because I didn't have my lecture CD. That CD helps me a lot. There is some things that it doesn't cover that I have forgotten, but I try to look whatever I need to figure out on the internet... I also have a solutions manual... That's my hardest class, but I'll live. I think that my easiest class would have to be my Geometry. There's some little parts that are hard, but I work through them... Other than that, I have World History, Government, Literature, and my college English 50 class. The college class is pretty tough also... Kristyn had this same teacher 10 years ago... Kristyn said that she's a really tough teacher, but you learn something... I don't have any class this coming friday though because of a Teachers Inservice Day or something. So I have two weeks to get all ahead in my English 50 book... Plus I can get ahead in my high school school work, so I don't have to do any on the weekends... Although tommarow I have to do some so I can get done by this coming Friday... That's when Debra comes and I like to get all and more of my stuff done...

So, Tim came over today... Before he came though he had some errands to run for school. Tim's been really busy, with working 40 hours a week at his work and going to school on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday... He's probably really tired... :(

I've been working on my profile and I even made a wish list like Kristyn has... It's got a bunch of stuff on it, so if any of yall want to see it, just go to my complete profile and click Wishlist... I'm also thinking of changing my blog background... I found this really cute one that I want, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Kristyn's going to help me with it so I don't screw anything up or anything. I want to keep all my side links, but I'm confused on how I'd do that, lol... I'm not very smart on the blog templates. I know how to add links, but I don't know where they would go on the template, so that's why I need Kristyn... Yall see my circling purple hearts? Tim put those on for me... Since the hearts are purple, they should match the back ground that I want very well. If not I might have Tim show me how to change them to like a softer purple if there is one... If Tim wouldn't mind.

So, my mom and dad are wanting to paint their bathrrom another color... They're leaning towards like burgandy's, light or dark... But whatever they get they want it to blend good with the tile flooring in their bathroom... I like the color chips they brought home from home depot earlier (I'll tell why they went to Home Depot in a minute)...

Ok, now to tell why mom and dad went to Home Depot... It all starts with our sliding glass door blinds are kind of crappy and need to be replaced soon, but it cost like $50-$60 for new ones... Well, we were putting up our fall decor and we were trying to put a garland up on our sliding glass door blinds and the clips for the valance part of the blinds broke (that had happened before, also the same way, and we had to buy a new blind set)... Mom and dad were going to Home Depot to get new blinds when they find replacement clips for the valance. Those only costed $5... Good price... Since they were at Home Depot they picked up some color chips... Maybe they'll let me help pick they colors ^__^. That would be cool. Oh, yea, while I decorated Mom had this stew in the oven that she calls Company Stew (it's sooooo good)... I asked her if she would make it whenever we put up fall decor, because it reminds me of Fall ^__^. I thought that if we're going to put the fall decor up, might as well smell like it, don't you think?

Well, I better be getting to bed now (and stop talking your legs off, not to mention arms!, lol)... Plus I think this is enough for now... I have to do some math tomorrow and I think if I have time I might clean my room some, or like do some Government or that History Test that I need to start and finish, lol... So I'll post soon
**Everyone thinks to themselves "Hmmm, hopefully!"** LOL

Should I feel this way?

2005-09-04T22:29:00.000-07:00

Hello,
Tonight Tim and I were invited to a Keg Party... Mom and dad said that I couldn't go... Tim went anyways... I feel sad. He asked me if he could go and I told him that he could, since mom and dad wouldn't let me go, I didn't think it was fair to tell him no. But still, I'm feeling sad and bored. I'm worried he might drink and drive and get hurt.... He says he wouldn't though, but there's going to be peer pressure. There's also girls there, if he drinks what might he do? I trust him under normal circumstances. People who read this please help me... Am I just being paranoid? I wonder how he would feel if I had gone to a party like that without him? I know he loves me, but even so, I wonder sometimes if he would rather be single so he could do what he wants... This isn't a pity party for me, I just feel sad and wonder if I should feel this way or not.

Hello,
Well, it's only been 9 whole days since I posted, so I'm getting better lol... Lets see, what happened in the past 9 days.... I guess I've done a lot of schoolwork, kind of overwheling at times, but it'll get better (hopefully).. Well, Mom was on the computer and she was just checking to see if any of the college classes were opened up. There were two seats in the class I wanted!!!! So we jumped into the car and went over there... I got the class, but before that when I was standing in line, the lady who kicked me out of the line the last time tried to kick me out again because I didn't have my assesment test with me (I was thinking lady, leave me alone 'FREAK'). I stayed in line and got the class (they didn't need my test, the old lady just doesn't like me!). On Friday, I had my first class, but I need to get a book SOON because I have homework in it and well, Mrs. French (teacher) said that no one can come back with out a book. My school is supposed to pay for it, but who knows if they will... They are slow about stuff... Mom said that if they don't pay for my book by Tuesday afternoon, that she's going to buy it for me.

Well, onto another subject... Tim made a blog YAY!!! He didn't think he'd like it before, but I guess he changed his mind, I'm glad. I love you Tim.

So, last night Tim and I were on the computer and he was looking at new templates for his blog, he found one, but it didn't show the comments, so he was sad that he couldn't have it. Kristyn, if you know anything about how to fix that, let me know so he could have that. We saw some that I liked also, but one was on that same site. I think it'd be cool to change the template on my blog :).

Well, I have to do math today to get caught up... Oh speaking of math........ Yesterday I was doing math also, but I had to listen to the DIVE CD mom bought me (costed a lot) to help me and it was SOOOO long... it was 55:59 minutes long. Then when I start to listen to the dude, he says I'm going to need a graphing calculator... Those aren't cheap either, but mom got me one since I need it to do good (she got it at Target)... He had said the one he had was a TI-83 Plus (that's a Texas Instrument) and so I got that one... Kristyn has the same calculator as me, she told me :)...

Well, I better go and finish the lesson I started yesterday, I have like 4 questions left... then I have to do two more today so I can be a little ahead...

So I'll talk to you all later...

TaTa,
Candi :)

Hello All,
Well, I haven't posted for like two weeks, but they've been two really busy weeks! The first week mom had to get blood work done, then later that day we went to a home and garden party that Tim's mom and Grandma was having... Mom bought some stuff... Mostly candles... She bought me a plaque that says "Girls Love to be Spoiled" it's sooo cute. Then the next day we had to go to the dentist... I have two cavities that need filling and I need a cleaning... My dentist wanted us to go over to the Orthodontics part and see if I need braces because my top teeth have moved (the Orthodontist said I don't need any, so that's all good). The next day, Debra came and brought me most of my school materials... The next day was calm... I did school work to get a jump on things and it was grandma's birthday... the next day I did more school work and watched soaps. Another day, my dad took me to Office Max to get some school supplies, but before that we had to get our brakes on the truck fixed.... That took like 4 hours.... I was going to wear my skirt I have, but, dad told me I couldn't, but I understand why... There was too many men there and my skirt is short, even though I was wearing bike shorts under. Then later Tim came over and we just hung out and watched TV. The next day we didn't do anything.... I was supposed to go to my friend's sister's birthday party, but I got sick...

This past week wasn't as busy, but it was still pretty busy... Monday was my first day of school, we also had to go to the college, but my class was full, so I will have to go to the first day of class and see it the teacher will accept me to her class. The next day mom and I went down to Kaiser, because she had an appointment with Dr. Chen (her internal medicine docter)... Then later that day was when we had to go over to the Orthodontics... Well, you all know about already... the next day, Tim was off and he came over... We went and saw The Dukes of Hazzard... That movie is Hilarious.... Anyone who hasn't seen it, should see it.... Tim didn't think he'd like it, but he ended up liking it... Then yesterday all I did was school work all day, then I watched TV... I did some more Government after that... Tim called and he went over to his friends house to hang out... So I didn't have him to talk to, won't tonight either, because he's going to hang out with them again, just at a dif house... Mom and I were being nosy and seeing how much houses cost up in OR and Idaho, where the potatoes grow! lol... They are CHEAP and there's some nice houses there. Well, anyways... Today I did school work, then Mom and I went to the bank, then to get something to eat, and then the grocery store... We bought a lot of healthy foods. Mom and I both need to loose weight. Mom esp for her health, me because I fat.

So here I am wondering when Tim's coming over tomorrow... I guess it depends on how late he stays out tonight. I'll ask him when he calls I guess. Then tommorow while Tim goes to the college to get his books for school Aunt Pam and I are going to go to Michael's for Scrapbook Discovery Day... That should be fun. Then Tim's coming back after, and we'll probably go swimming...

Well, I guess this is long enough for now... I'll post again in the future :)

This is the photo of the helicoptor at Mountain Lakes :) TaTa.........

Rambling on again!!!! :D

2005-08-13T19:34:00.000-07:00

Hello All,
Well, I thought I would post since the last time I posted was the day before we went to Mountain lakes... We had a good time there. I did some crafts on Saturday, it was fun. Before that though, it was kind of boring because there was nothing to do in the week. Tim and I went for a walk, we played mini golf, basket ball, and went peddle boating and swimming. All that was fun. Tim took me to Ontario Mills Mall and we spent one whole afternoon there... That was fun. We did laundry one night, it SUCKED. We were there for like more than 3 hours and it was hotter than heck in there. Then Saturday, we went to dinner at the restraunt... Then we were going to listen to the music that was at the dance outside... The security people were making people move away from the lake, because they said there was a fire somewhere and there was going to be a CDF helicoptor dipping water out of our lake... It was cool at first (except when it went over us it dripped on us :S). Then there was a BIG problem, we thought it was going to crash on us, so we ran into the bathroom that connects to the restraunt... What actually happened was he got to close to the bottom of the lake and he only got sluge... So he was making another pass at the lake, but he didn't go up high enough... As a result of him not going high enough, he sheered the top of a tree, trash cans blew over and trash went everywhere, an old lady was trying to run for cover (she was running the wrong way!) and she fell over and hit her leg on the concrete and got a huge gash in her leg. There was a guy there who works for the CDF, but is a member like us, he was just there camping... He helped the lady into the restraunt so she wouldn't get hurt again. My Dad started shmoozing with him and we found out that his wife was taking pictures with her digi cam. She sent us one which was nice. I'll post it after I finish here.

Since then, Mom and I helped Tim register for school. All the automated services were down so Tim and I had to go to the college. It was hot and line was REALLY long, but he got registered... Although, we didn't have to stand in line the whole time because a woman came up and asked for 5 students that are just registering and nothing else. A lot of people raised their hands and Tim was one of the ones to be picked. Thank goodness!! I'm happy he got his classes though.

I can't register for my college class until the 22nd... I want one of the same ones Tim got, I hope I get it, if not I'll be taking it online. The 22nd is also that day I start school, so it'll be a busy day. I think though that I'm anxious for school to start... I want to go school supply shopping... I wanted to go today, but we were too busy. So maybe like Friday.

Tim's gone back packing this weekend and I don't know when he's coming back :S. Sometime tomorrow I guess. I miss him :(, I haven't seen him in like 2 days :(. He did call me though today, twice!! First this morning before they left and then at 4:52 this afternoon. He said that if he could he'd call me again, but I haven't heard from him yet, but maybe before he goes to bed. Maybe he'll get to come over tomorrow afternoon if he isn't too tired and has taken a shower :D. I loooooooove you Timmy. HEHEHEHEHE

Well, I guess this is enough talk for now. I'll post that photo next. Post sometime soon ;).

TaTa,
Candi

Heat and Mountain Lakes!!

2005-07-30T11:47:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
I thought I would post to tell yall that I will be at Mountain lakes, with Mom, Dad and Tim, from the thirty-first of this month until the eighth of August. So I won't be posting until probably the ninth. Hopefull it's not too hot up there, because sometimes our little air conditioner isn't the best of the best. But hopefull it'll be cooler down there than up here, but it's doubtful. Right now weather bug says it's 92*. Today high is supposed to be 104, with isolated thunderstorms and scattered showers. Tomorrow will be the same it says. That's for up here thought, so it might be different down there.

We were going to go to Mountain Lakes tonight, but my dad said that there wouldn't be any spaces left, and that we should go tomorrow, when some of the people are leaving. So maybe we'll get lucky and find a really good spot with lots of grass and shade.

Mom and I are like half way done with the packing, we got I think almost all the food in the trailer (I need to put some otter pops in the freezer though). Mom just went out there with some clothes and then I'll need to get my clothes ready. Dad had to work, so when he gets home in a little bit he'll pack his stuff, then Tim will bring his stuff over tomorrow. I'm going to bring a few things to do, so I don't get bored in the trailer. There's some games in there, I'm going to get the playing cards also for there. Oh yea, there's a TV and DVD in the Trailer, and we can get cable there.

Yesterday Tim and I went to The Mall again (this was like the third time in like four days), I only bought Tim and I a candy bar that I love called a Charleston Chew (I don't know if Tim had eaten one before, but it was good). Tim bought a CD called System of a Down. While he did that, I went over to the mystery section and sat on the floor and read a little of Sir Arthur Canan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. I decided I liked that, so I asked Tim if he wouldn't mind taking me to the Library, he didn't mind :D. I checked out Sir Arthur Canan Doyle's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I'm going to bring that with us to Mountain Lakes to read. Mom had said that I should check out a Sherlock Holmes book at the Library before I buy one, to see if I like it or if I could understand it. I was reading some of it last night and I liked it. So I'll probably get another one after this one.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about my fish though. I think he's going to have to come along, because there will be no one to feed him. He gets fed three times a day, his lunch is Betta Bites. Breakfast and Dinner are regular Betta fish food. I'll clean his bowl before we go (probably later today) Then I'll bring all my stuff to clean it up there for when it gets all stinky.

Well, I have to go and wash, peel and cook potatoes and boil some eggs for the potato salad. So I'll post after I come back to tell you all what I did.

TaTa,
Candi :)

P.S. Shout out to my friends and family!!! Talk to ya in a week! :)

Week of Fun and Enjoyment

2005-07-28T10:08:00.000-07:00

Hello all...
I know that I haven't posted in a long time, so I thought I would post now. This week, was fun and relaxing. My friend Anthony came down to visit. This week, we wanted to mend ties and things, because we hadn't talked in like a year. We're friends again.

This week, we mainly relaxed, but on Sunday my dad decided that we all were going to go to the beach. We spent a lot of time driving around because there was a billion people there. Before that, on Wednesday Tim, Anthony, and I went to the drive in movies and saw The Fantastic Four, and then War of the Worlds.

On Thursday we went to the flea market and looked around, I saw some cool sunglasses, but I didn't buy those. On Friday Tim, Anthony, Mom, and I went garage saling, I got some good deals... I got two tea set things, (not mini ones though), the first one is like a Oriental Tea pot and cups, that was $2. The other one is one that someone in Mexico hand made, that was $5. Then I got a little thing that says grandma's kitchen, for .25 cents, I'm going to paint that for my Grandma Walker.

On Saturday, my dad took Anthony and me to visit Tim at his work, I think he liked seeing us. Then on Monday we just mainly swam, then later on that night we were watching some old movies that my Mom's Dad recorded when she was a baby. On Tuesday Anthony and I went to the mall to look in the shops, I bought a pair of real cool sunglasses there at American Eagle Outfiters. They weren't very cheap, but they are 100% UV protected, so that al good.

Then Yesterday, my mom took Tim, Anthony, and I to the the mall again, so we could get our picture taken. Then Mom got us all lunch as we waited. After Tim and I finished eating I wanted to show him some books. Then we went to anchor blue and I bought two things that were like on clearence. :). Then last night we took Anthony back to the air port.

Well, I guess this is all for now... I'll post again sometime, maybe soon. ;)

RE: Relationships....

2005-06-26T18:18:00.000-07:00

I'm thinking that some people may think that there is some deep dark reason behind my last post. There isn't. It was just my thoughts at the time.... It is what I think an IDEAL relationship should be. I expect as much from myself as I would from others. I am not perfect and I am not saying that I always act in the ways that I said a good relationship should be, but, that I try and I think it is how things should be.... Thanks for your input, I appreciate the thoughts.... All is good

Relationships

2005-06-24T15:00:00.000-07:00

Relationships can be difficult at best, but should they be difficult all the time? I think relationships, to be good should have Respect, Understanding and Caring, and Trust.

Respect: To me Respect is 100% consideration of another persons feelings. That means never saying mean things to make the other person feel bad. It is total acceptance of the other persons personality whether you always agree with them or not. It doesn't mean compromising yourself, but just accepting the other person for who they are. No relationship will last without this.

Understanding and Caring: Understanding means you take things into consideration before judging another person. For instance, if they are in a bad mood, are they tired, or stressed? If they are in a particularly happy mood, they should be supported in what ever made them happy. Caring is taking the time to talk out situations, good or bad and trying to help. Understanding and caring is never putting the other person down, but trying to build them up.

Trust: Trust is believing what another person says 100% of the time. It is knowing the other persons character enough to not question them about anything. Trust is necessary in all kinds of relationships. Without trust, relationships fail.

Thanks for reading, if there's anything to add to this or if you think anything I said is incorrect, please comment.

Candi

Yic Yac - Tic Tac - And Other Ramblings

2005-06-21T20:50:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
I'm finally updating, after a little over a month. I'm bad I know! I was sick for like two weeks after we came back from Tucson, I'm finally almost completely over it [I cough sometimes]. Before that, like I said in my last post, I was getting finished with school. Speaking of school, my IST came last Wednesday and she told me that I passed the CA exit exam for high school YAY!!! I went and took the College assesment test the same day. I did pretty good on that. I'm going to take English 50 this fall for both high school and college credit, but I'll have to take an English class with my school also, because the college one is only half of what I need. But I'm glad that I'm off for the summer now. I thought I was going to have to take a summer class :S, but I don't. Now I can sleep in :D.

Oh I just found out this morning that my friend Amanda quit at Daisy Cake also. Cruz wasn't paying her right either. She was sick of Cruz's Crap anyways. She might buy a little tea house that Mom and I have wanted to go to. It's called The Secret Tea Garden. They do tea parties and have sandwhiches and salads. She said that when she can afford help, I'm hired. I think that would be so cool, I love tea parties. I'm not going to get a job though until after first semester when my schedule settles down.

Our Vacation was fun, Tim went with us, so I really had a good time. Tyler is getting bigger and wanted me to carry him all the time. I think my arms were about to die sometimes though, because he's a heavy little boy. We got to eat at Cracker Barrel twice and it was soo good. It was sad to leave them and go home. In Febuary, they are going to come out for a few days.

The heat is still hot, but not as bad a usual. Dad and I put a new solar cover on the pool last ngiht and it was nice and warm today. We've had some earth quakes but nothing real bad. We've felt like three of them. Hopefully there won't be anymore or at least not any bad ones.

The outlook for Summer is fairly boring... Watch TV, swim, maybe perhaps sometime go to the mall, and some Mountain Lakes. Nothing huge like Sea World or Disneyland or anything. Tim did take me out to eat a few times lately. Claim Jumpers (YUM) (once) and Outback (YUM) (twice). That was really nice of him, I really enjoyed that. We went to Bed bath and beyond after we went to Outback last week. That was fun. I love you Tim.

Well, I guess this is all for now. I'll post sometimes in near future if I have something to say.

TaTa,
Candi :)

Heat, School, Bedroom Arangment, and Vaction!!! :)

2005-05-19T13:53:00.000-07:00

Hello to all who reads,

I know I haven't posted in almost a month, but it could be worse, lol. So hmm, what has been going on here. It's hotter the heck, and going to get hotter. Todays high is going to 95, then tomorrow 99, then Saturday 106, then Sunday 107. Yikes! I've went swimming three times already, although two were in the same day, lol.

I'm almost done with my school for this year, just my Math left, but there's like 16 lessons :S. But at least it's the only thing left. Lukily, I didn't have to do a writing prompt this month, that would have stunk. My last writing prompt was my Research paper, I did it on WWI: How it affected Enlgand and Germany. Next year I'm going to have a lot the first semester, but then in the second semester I think I'm going to have like 4 classes totally, but one's going to be what we call a soup class [super easy, can get done in like 6 weeks :)]. But my school won't call me a Sr. for who knows what reason. I have right now 185 credits and you only need 180 to be a Sr. so who knows what their problem is. So today was Tim's last day of high school ever! [I love you]

Okay, on to the next subject. I rearanged my room the other day, I like how it is now, it's nice. I changed it because I got to cold when the swamp cooler would come on at night, I had to get up and turn it off up becasue I have goose bumps on goose bumps = . But I think I need to move it over like 6 inches, because the air can still get me in the face. But overall it's a good arangment. once I get my room cleaned, I'll take a picture of it, then get the pictures developed and then I'll post it on here. I still need to organize my one clothes drawer and then my closet. Then I have to wash my bedding and my stary sheers that I have. But hopefully soon I'll be done with the cleaning of my room.

So on June 4th-7th Mom, Dad, Tim, and I are going to visit Tyler, Staci, and Mark in Tuscon AZ. It'll be good to see Tyler and Staci.. Mark? hmmm, well, not as much. I've made a long little list of what to bring when we go, I'm not sure that It'll all fit, but I'm hoping that it all will. I'm going to bring two swim suits, one is my tankini and then the other is my denim bikini then other than that, just needed accessories and things to do on the way there.

Hmm, well, I guess this will be all for now. My friends Jessie and Melissa are coming over probably in the next 10 to 20 minutes to go swimming with me for a while. Well, I'll post sometime soon.

TaTa,
Candi :)

Life's getting better lately

2005-04-29T21:33:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
Well, I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I've been really busy and I have a lot to tell about. First off I quit working at Daisey Cakes, because I was sick of all that Cruz was doing. I had to stay over like almost an hour [45 minutes ish] every time I worked, and I didn't get paid for it. My Dad was getting sick of it because I would have to be doing school work on the Sundays and he wanted to go places. My last day there was last Friday and boy was it crazy that day. Cruz did what she normally does and didn't help. Christie, Amanda, and I had to do it all. I feel sorry for Christie and Amanda now though. I'm glad I'm not working anymore, because I was slidding in my school work and I was just getting tired. I'll also get to see Tim more often now. It'll be like when he's off and wants to come over, I won't have to go into work if they call. :)

The next thing on my list is that I had STAR testing. Three days of "Grueling Torture". The first day I had Literature and some Science. The second day we had to do Math [Evil!]. And then the last day I had to do History. My Science wasn't being tested on so I didn't have to do the other Science Standards test. I'm just glad it's over. But I did win a game called Sim City 3000 Unlimited, in a raffle.

Now the last thing I have to say for right now is that I finished my Anatomy and Phisiology for the year. I know that's only like one month away, but it's still done. So that's one more less thing on my school work list. First it was Work Experience, now it's Science, and the next thing to go is Piano. That is unless I finish another class in the mean time. lol...

Hm, well, I think this is just about it for now. Would like to hear from some of you. I love you Tim.................

Ta Ta all,

Howdy Yall,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've still been really busy. This past week has been really busy esp. I've had to work all day long because Christie [new boss] told Cruz to take a week off and if Christie had to go somewhere I would be there to keep the shop open. First of all I went to piano and did school on Monday (Daisy Cakes isn't open then), on Tuesday I had to go to the Cahssee from 8:45-12:30, then I went to work from 1:00 to 5:00. I got there and there was no Cruz and I was like maybe she actually took her vacation off, so I went in the restroom and when I came out there she was!! I was like she's baaaack, But then Christie kicked her out, lol. After Cuz left, Christie and I were doing whatever we could find to do, I was stocking some sucker bags and some disposable bags. Then while I was making little tags for the sprinkle packets I was making, Christie was doing the dishes. Wednesday I had to go to the Cahssee again and I got done with that an hour earlier than I thought I would. I then had to go to work and when I got there at 1:00 I started getting things ready to bake. I bakes soo much and I didn't get all the cakes done, I baked equivelent to 18 cakes that day... I also did chocolate bags (I snuck and moved the chocolate to a spot that people can see it better). On Thursday, I had yet more baking to do, I did like an 8 mix of the secret mix (If I tell you, I have to kill you!, lol). Then while those were baking I had to make 12 pounds of butter cream which is 12 pounds of sugar and 5.5 pounds of shortening (LARD!!!! ahhhh). I then took out the cakes and found places in the freezer for them. I had to take out some cakes though and fill them because there was no room for them, lol. Since yesterday was also St. Patty's Day, I bought myself a 3 leaf clover ring and I was wearing green eye shadow, socks, a fake green carnation, and then I had drawn on my had a clover in green. That was the end of that day at work. Tim picked me up and then we spent the rest of the day hanging out. Then today, I had school work to do in the monring and then I had to work again, but it took like 45 mins to get to work because there was a bad accident on Main St. and there was bumper to bumper traffic. After I got to work, I finished silling a cake Christie was doing so that she could eat her lunch, I iced, smoothed and put a bottom border on it. I put a cake on top of another cake because it was supposed to be stacked and it needs to be delivered tomorrow (by my Mom, Dad and I). I then helped customers, swept the floor, took out the trash, helped more customers, and then before I left there today I bleach mopped the floor in the back, that water was nasty, it was like a black color. When I came homeMom and I watched TV, I did a laundry load and then I was looking at cross stiching things of mine. I then helped with dinner and ate it too. Tomorrow I have to deliver that wedding cake, which is not going to be fun because it's stacked and it's most likely heavy. It also has a half sheet cake that goes with it (Christie I think decorated it). I get to take pictures of all the cakes that we did today. Hmm, well I think this is loooong enough for now. I'll post tomorrow or the next day or something :).

Hello all who read upon my blog! :)
Sorry I haven't posted in a loooong time. I have been sooooooo BuSy with work and school. Esp this past week, well, first on Monday, I had a schoolwork marathon, then Tim came over :), and that was my least busy day... Then on Tuesday I had to do school work and then go to work at 1 and when I went to work we had a "Staff Meeting"... HA... I'm the only staff, the other two people are owners... it was stressful to say the least. Then on Wednesday I had to do more school work and then work again from 10 to 5 with the exception of my 1 hour lunch break which I had my piano lessons. Then when I got home, it was dinner time, so I ate and then went to bed lol... On Thursday Mom, Tim and I went down to Pasadena to visit a Culinary Arts School. It was a cool school, but when they found out that I was graduating next year and not this year, they kind of rushed us through. That was unimpressive, but the school was very cool. Then on Friday I did school work [again!!!!!] and then I had to go to work [again] from 1 (but I got there at like 12:30) until 5. After work, Mom and I went to the bread store that just happens to be next to where Tim works :)... so I couldn't help but visit him :)... He got to take his dinner break, but didn't eat dinner, so he came over after he got off and ate french toast with us. Then on Saturday I did yet more school work and had to go to work yet again at 11-3. We were busy, so the day went fast. After work, I came home and did yet more school work, then Tim came over for a little while. THEN today I did yet MORE school work and Dad and I went to buy something from where Tim worked, so I got to see him again today :). Well, I actually got to see him twice, because he got a flat tire and my Dad helped him. This week shouldn't be as bad. Mom and I changed my piano lessons to Monday's at 11:30, so I do't have to take it on my lunch break on Wednesday's... Well, I think this is all for me for tonight.... I love you Tim, hope you feel better...

TaTa to everyone,
Candi :) :) :)

Hello all,
Well today is my birthday.... I'm finally 16, lol... I get to go shopping and then I have a piano lesson, then I have to go to work for two hours, because my boss needs to be somewhere and alas I am her only employee, for now... But, I get to leave at 3, because I have a hair appointment at 4. Tim's going to pick me up, as long as I leave at 3, becuase he has to be at work at 4. It'll be good to see him as usual, even though it's a short time. Then I'm going to his work after I get my hair done to show him.

Well, I've been doing school work, it's a good load this month. Last week I worked Friday and Saturday and I delivered yet another wedding cake (and I might have to deliver yet another one on Friday). I also got paid for my first week of work, hopefully I'll get paid Friday for a couple more weeks. She's going to have a regular system of pay checks when we get to the new shop in like a week or so. I wish I didn't have to work today, because the time I have to go in is the time I would have spent with Tim. Well, I'll get to spend some time with him tomorrow too, but not until after 5 when I get off. and then on Saturday and Sunday, we get to spend the whole weekend together, because we're going to Stateline and Las Vegas :D that's going to be soooo much fun.

So, tonight, for dinner, we get to eat Steak, MMMMMMMM... I don't know about dessert, but that's ok. Mom's going to order me a cake from Freed's Bakery in Las Vegas (I saw them on Food Network, this one dude was making his boss ladies (owner) wedding cake)... It'll be soo cool.

Well, I have to get going, and get ready to go shopping :) I'll post more later.

TaTa,

Hello to all who reads this... :)
Well it's back to work for me today and tomorrow... My sweetie came over yesterday, that was fun and I made him home-made noodles, which he really liked... I thought they were pretty good too, if I do say so myself. I'm going to make home-made noodles in Febuary when Staci comes to visit with Tyler. Oh yes, yesterday, I went for my third and final driving lesson... I drove on the freeway, in the truck lane though lol... I did fine, but the speed was a little strange, guess I have a lot more practicing to do before I can get my license :) . I also got to back up by the curb... lol...

So, I decorated my styrofoam cake (hehehehe) I hope Cruz likes it... If not, she'll tell me to scrape off the frosting and do it again, lol... I have a 12" styrofoam cake to do also, but I only did the 6" one for now...

Well, this will be all for now, I'll post after I get home from work, if I can think of anything to say lol...

TaTa,

Hello All,
I just thought I'd post. It's 9:30PM about. I went to work today, I worked from 12:45-5:00PM. I only did one cake again. but I did some other stuff, like make buttercream that had 6LBS of powdered sugar in it, so there was a lot. The butter cream will be used for like one cake, lol. It's a white cake that's got cream cheese filling in the middle, and then a strawberry glaze on one half. It's for a baby shower. Other than that, Cruz and I sorted through some of the little plastic cake deco things and put them in their rightful boxes. Tomorrow Maria [co- worker] is going to be there, she's going to frost them [3 round cakes that are dbl layered and are for a wedding cake], after I fill them. Then Cruz will probably decorate them. Other than that, I have no clue what else to do, because that's the only cake order on the fridge. There aren't many cake orders right now, because she's getting ready to move the shop to Victorville. So, I get to open Daisy Cake again on Saturday, Cruz goes to bible study on Saturdays and it doesn't get out until 11:00 and that's when the shop opens, so I get to open :) .

Hmmm, I'm finished with all my work for the Month. Debra's coming on Monday at 10AM. Tim is coming then too, because it's a school holiday for us both. :) I want to sleep in some day lol. maybe a little bit tomorrow, but not too much, maybe 7:37AM or 7:42 AM. lol. Somewhere around there. But then I shall get up and practice piano and get ready for work. Oh yes, Tim, I won't forget to e-mail you, I wouldn't do that. I love you.

Last time I checked Kristyn you hadn't posted for a while, hmmmm, you still alive? Poor Chummer!!!!! He must have been thinking, "Mean Mommy! Taking my pictue, grrr!" Well, you should post sometime, or I'm going to call you, lol. I don't know when, but I'll find the time. :)

I want to find some time, to get together with my friend Jessie. So she can see my drivers test, so she's not nervous. Maybe go shopping sometime too :) .

So, I won't get to see Tim until either Saturday night or Sunday :( . I saw him for a couple hours on Wednesday, and that was it. The most I've gotten to see him this week was on Monday. I guess our work schedules are why. But that's ok, we still get to see each other and we get along great, and have lots of fun. Oh yea, I'm supposed to get my ring back from the jewler, either Saturday or Sunday :D.

Well, my diet's going pretty good, I think I'll be able to get those jeans I want before we go to the Leanne Rimes concert on the 29th :) , yay. I'm thinking black, but I'll figure that out when I go. I have a new teal top that I can wear a black tank under. So, black jeans I think would look the best.

Well, I guess that's my life for now.... I love you Tim.

Ta Ta all,
Candi :)

Hello all,
Well, I've finished completely two days of my new job. I got to open on Saturday, and I was going to give her [Cruz] the key back, but she was sick, so she had to go home early, so I got to close the shop also. I would have been out of there by 1:00, becasue I was waiting for some people to come and pick up a wedding cake, but they didn't get there until about 2:00. Afterwards, Mom, Dad, and I went to Submarine Express and ate lunch (mmmm). We then went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of food.

Shortly after I got home, Tim came over for a little while =) . It was nice, we hung out and my parents got us all Chinese food (mmmmmmmmmmm). I'm on my diet, but I had like a splurge weekend :) , it's back to it tomorrow. Today I got to see Tim again :) . We just hung out and watch TV.

So, tomorrow I have a lot of school work I have to do. Then I get to see Tim again :) . But then I don't know when I get to see him again, except Sunday, he's switching schedules with someone so he can be off the whole day. That'll be nice. He had Saturday off, but I have to work that day. I have to go in on Thursday at 1:00 to 5:00 to work; and then on Friday at 10:00 to 5:00. Then on Saturday from 11:00 to 3:00.

I looked for a post in Kristyns blog today, but there is none. Guess she's enjoying that new Tivo :) lol. Well, I guess this is all I can think of for now, I'm tired... I love you Tim. :) .

TaTa,
Candi :)

Hello All,
Well, today, I had my second driving lesson, I was a little nervous, but I did fine. I finished all my Grammar for the Month today, so that's cool. Yesterday I finished all of my Lit for the month, so that's cool also. I got my clothes from Old Navy yesterday afternoon, :) ... I was wearing some of them when I went for my lesson. Yesterday was also my Dad's birthday, so we went out to lunch and then my Dad got to get a new cell phone, it rings very loudly. lol... I made him a white cake with buttercream frosting. I also bought him the Director's Cut of Dare Devil.

Tim was here yesterday also, and him and I went to the Mall so I could send my ring off to be sized down, seeing how it was too big. I'll be getting that back on the 15th. yay! I really love it. Last Sunday, I went to my friend Jessica's house for a few hours, I had fun, we just mainly hung out.

This week is going to be crazy... Today I had the driving lesson, then Mom and I have to go to this music store called Roll Over Beethoven so we can get my piano books, seeing how tomorrow I start my piano lessons, then on Friday, I'm going to start a job at Daisy Cake... I may have to work Thursday, but that's only if my boss [Cruz] gets a lot of Cake orders. Then I'll probably have to work Saturday, so she can teach me how to do like the cash register and stuff like that.
Well, more to come in a day or something like that...

Ta Ta,
Candi :)

This is my friend Jessica and I at her house on Sunday. :)

First Hello

2004-12-28T18:28:00.000-08:00

Well, this is my first post on my new blog. My sister, Kristyn, helped me sign it up this morning. She still has a few things that she wants to put on here for me. We've got to do it either tonight, or tomorrow sometime; because she and Matt (her husband) are leaving tomorrow night to head home. I'm amazed that it's been two and a half weeks already! I'm going to be sad tomorrow when they leave, but things here will probably get back to normal pretty quickly. I'll also be worried about them; since we were watching the weather channel earlier today and they said it'll be bad weather. Where it's going to be bad is all along where they will be the whole time.

Well, I think I got pretty good gifts this Christmas. Tim gave me a really pretty purple tanzanite ring with a little bagette diamonds on each side. It's soo pretty. My parents got me an electronic keyboard (which Tim taught me how to play two songs "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" & "Heart and Soul"... That was soooo nice of him and a lot of fun too), then I got three puzzles, some new Eeyore p.j's, some slipper socks, $50 gift card to Old Navy (I spent that on Sunday online ;), I got lots of good bargins). Then Matt and Kristyn gave me a poster of Tom Welling. Mark and Staci gave me mini tea sets and some Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Mike and Angie gave me a bucket of beauty supplies. Aunt Pam gave me a porcelain cat doll and Hilary Duff's newest CD. Then from my Grandma Rhodes I got a nativity set and a $50 bill, she said she did that so I could buy what I wanted. THEN, I got a really cute doll that has a velvet dress on, and $40 from Aunt Sandy. So like I said, I think I did pretty good this Christmas... I'm soo spoiled.

So, on New Years eve, we're going to have a kind of party, just Mom, Dad, Tim, and me. I don't know what we're going to make though. I was thinking of these pretzel rods dipped in chocolate and rolled in whatever we want, like nuts, sprinkles, etc. Mom and I were also thinking about making these chicken wings that my Cousin Josh (he's in culinary arts school) made at my Aunt's house on Christmas, they were fab. But other than that, we're not sure what else we're going to make, but we're just going to enjoy each others company.

So, my Birthday is coming up also, but I know what I'm getting! I'm getting to go to a Leanne Rimes Concert that's at Primm Nevada, on the 29th. Tim gets to go also, YAY!!!!!! My Mom's going to try to get floor seating, it would be soo cool if I got to sit front row. We'll get to eat out too, if we get there early enough, lol. Otherwise, I guess it's McDonalds. That's ok though, I like McDonalds. It'll be a lot of fun either way.

So my next driving lesson is on the 4th of January. I've only been driving three time though since my first one, so, I hope I can get at least a couple more in before then. Matt was going to take me, but the weather got bad, and neither I nor my Mom wants me to drive in this weather, until I learn better. Mom and I went out today and it was soo flooded, I think we might have been floating a few times.

So, I'll tell details on later blogs. About the stuff I've already told about on here, and new things that may come up.

Later,
Candi
