I'm feeling creative

Yeah. I'm in a creative mood. It's bright and sunny outside my bedroom window, and I've been stuck doing math homework for the past couple of hours, not to mention getting all my outlines and resources ready for a tutoring session tonight. I don't want to sit down any more. So that's why 20 minutes ago I got up and made a bottle cap. You know, where you put a picture or bauble and stuff and use glaze glue to seal it all in? Yeah, so I basically found a bunch of cool beads that I wasn't using for earrings and dumped them into a cap with glaze to get a rainbow charm type deal. I'm going to attach a clip and hang it on my backpack. Here's a picture of it taken from my phone:




Kinda cute, huh?


So I'm kinda miffed that they haven't posted the school supply list yet. Normally it's out by now. And I need to go shopping for stuff like, this weekend. Because then I'm gone afterwards to Oregon and California, and then school starts. And there will be no cute supplies left once school starts. This is a tragedy. :(

Oh! You know what, Glee the 3-D Concert came out today! I really want to go see it. I heard from people that it's quite good. I'm looking forward to going in the next week or so.

I just saw the UPS guy drive by my house outside my window. I got another Sephora package yesterday, with another eyeliner and lipgloss. Yes I know, how could I possibly want more. I needed to spend those giftcards though. Anyways, my eyeliner is coppery pink, by Tokidoki. And the lip gloss is clear, by Philosohpy. It smells like coconut and vanilla. Yum :) perfect for summer.

Anyways, Photoshop picture of the week. Not much done to this pic, taken in Hawaii. Just minor touch ups. It's a sign you see as you go to the Black Sand beach on the Big Island. We stopped by on the way to the Volcano National Park.




Enjoy your weekend!

Bubbles

Hahahahah so the title ^ I just typed a random letter into the the "Title:" box and on a drop-down menu, "Bubbles" came up. It made me laugh so I made it my title today.
Do you think bubbles would freeze if it was cold enough out? I wanna try it... that'd be legit.
I need to write three essays tonight. I NEED MOTIVATION. So I just bought myself this "Livestrong" bracelet. I am going to wear it now for motivation. THOSE ESSAYS ARE GOING DOWN. I mean it. For sure. I swear, you contact me any time tonight and I will be working on them. Unless I'm done with them. Anybody want to have an essay contest? Kylie and I did that once and it worked pretty well. I have my last summer lax practice tomorrow... next sport, soccer! Yikes we might have enough for two teams this year... eep! Wish me luck! I want to make varsity, but I'll convince myself to have a good time on JV too. Plus people tend to drop out of soccer eventually anyway.
Alllrighty. Joke of the week: Following Kelly. Yikes. Hahahah quite the adventure.
Anywayyyy.
Love y'all! I'll be in Maine next week - no computer, no phone, no Facebook, no electricity, LIFE WILL BE GOOD. I cannot wait.
Ciao,
Ellen :)

Long time no blog

Hey, sorry I haven't posted since the beginning of the summer. My computer was in the matrix (my B, 1, AND A keys work now, as well as the left half of my space bar. happy day.).

I really don't know what to blog about right now.

My life is sort of on an emotional roller coaster.
My family is in a rough place right now, mostly caused by uncertainty of Grandpa's health conditions. We're getting some good news, lots of bad news. I'm at the hospital with him right now. It's weird being with someone who you know is not going to be getting any better. They look so helpless and it sucks because I can't do anything. All we can do is be here for him and grandma right now. It's also hard because even though he's my grandpa, he's moms father. So its super extra hard for her to see the man she grew up with in such a state of solitude and stagnancy.
Right now he's trying to explain how to play angry birds to grandma.
"Get him off of there! GET HIM OFF! level failed. tell me about it!" i love my grandma.
But anyways, it's just hard because I want to be of help you know, but i think the best I can so right now is just be here and available to talk to whoever needs to.

Moving on.

Yesterday I found a four-leaf clover. It was a good day.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Cailyn and I are going shopping, then we're seeing the early premier of Glee 3D with Catherine and Ariel. I haven't seen Ariel in forever so that'll be lots of fun. I miss my junior.

I have a pretty fun rest of the summer. Jane and I are going to Leavenworth with mom for a few days, and then Maddy and I are going to Portland. That's going to be great. I love spontaneous trips.
Speaking of spontaneous, I haven't seen Mamma Mia in a while.
Maybe I'll watch that tonight. Lift my spirits up. That, and the Sound of Music.

I slept over at Jane's house last night and we had a mini iCarly marathon. I love that show. It's actually really funny.

I should go, I'll post more later.

Love you all, Kylie.
