Diaseason

This is my FAVORITE season of the year. It's the season of GIVING and FAMILY and being TOGETHER!(: It just gives me so much joy. And all the decorating is so much fun! I can't even explain how much my heart swells at this time of year! We got our Christmas tree this weekend(: It took a while to pick it out, because I wanted the absolute perfect one. And then we decorated it, of course. The girls could only decorate what they could reach, so there was one strip on the tree that was loaded with ornaments! And let's not forget that my Nanna and Poppy are visiting this week(: They're from Connecticut. I love having them here. I miss everyone on the east coast so much... My mama and Nanna and I went black Friday shopping(: It is so worth getting up at 5:30 to get those deals. Seriously. I got 3 people's Christmas gifts for $26! I'm so excited that this year I get to buy everyone's presents, since I have a job. I'm a nanny for a little girl(: She's so sweet!

I know this is a stream of consciousness kind of post...but I'm a little giddy today. Hopefully I still am after my Nanna and Poppy leave! I just need to start doing more family oriented things maybe. I forgot how important family is to me.

Oh, and by the way, I tried eggnog. It's VERY sweet. But I can drink it in small portions(: Ohmygoodness, I haven't even mentioned Thanksgiving...This was my first Thanksgiving as a diagnosed diabetic. I was so afraid of high blood sugar that I actually gave too much insulin and went low three or four times...but it was still tasty. We already finished off the leftover turkey, and tonight we're having turkey soup as the final goodbye to our turkey!(:

Life is the only word I can think of to describe why I haven't written in so long! I've always been a bit of a closed off person... so lately, a lot of personal problems have been happening, mainly with my family. I haven't known what I want to share and what I want to keep quiet, so I just haven't said anything. But I found the urge to blog again today.

I guess I'll just skip over the diabetes walk, Homecoming, Halloween, and any other big events that went on.

What I did today was decorate Trevor's room to ask him to Snoball(: I got glow in the dark stars, streamers, balloons, and silly string! The silly string was mainly to get back at Trevor, because he silly stringed my car for homecoming. Well, he was supposed to be gone all day today airsofting...buuuuut it turned out after wrestling that he had to come by to get his gun. Luckily, all I had left to do was the silly string....so instead of ruining his room like I had hoped to, I just ruined him and his sweatshirt(: He saw his room a little early, but at least I got my answer early, right?

Tomorrow he's coming over to meet my Poppy(: Poppy and Nanna are visiting from Connecticut! Ahhh... I miss the east coast so much.

By the way, Trevor said yes to Snoball(:

Diatattoo

And by the way, on a different note, I want to get a tattoo. My parents are saying no, until I'm eighteen . . . so I've got alot of time to think about it. But this is what I'm thinking...

What I love most about it is the symbolism of it. I want to get it on my right shoulder, so it will face the other way. And it won't be very big. But after a year or so of consideration, I think this is the best option for me(:

My life has been extremely hectic lately . . . which is why I haven't been posting on my blog. I've had to prioritize a lot of things, and blogging just hasn't been top on the list...

For those of you that know and love the Lord, me and my family could really use your prayer. Things are getting really difficult.

I need to get a job, FAST. I need to start pitching in to pay for things. I'm more than willing to help, but getting a job in this economy is harder than it sounds . . . Until I get a job, God provides, right? This - of all the times in my life, including when I got diabetes - is the week that I should be or so easily could be angry at God and telling you all that He does not provide. But instead, He's been reminding me every day that a little bit of faith goes a very long way. So remember that if you have a bad day this week, or you're stressed, or you feel like giving up.

A little bit of faith goes a long way.

Sorry this post is so vague . . . it's the best I can do right now.

Diaregistered

I am officially registered this year for school...that's a good thing, right? Melissa and I were very excited to open our locker and measure it and everything! Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to decorate it :P Everyone wanted to leave, so we had to stay with the crowd. But I got everything sized to fit! So once I get my license (cough, tomorrow) maybe I can just drive down there and set it up. My school picture didn't turn out tooo bad...but I did have a fly way hair. Too bad I can't scan it onto the computer to show you, but oh well. Just imagine my face with a grey background. Then, today, I got some lovely blood work done. GROSS! I hate having needles put into my veins. It's okay for insulin, because that doesn't go into my veins. It goes into fatty tissue areas. And now with a pump, I barely even put the needle in myself. The inserter does that job for me. But anywho, it was only two viles that they had to fill for my blood work so I guess it wasn't disastrous. The lady doing it kept trying to set me up with her son. "You're so cute! And you're a junior? Well, my son's a junior and he's pretty cute, too...he can't drive yet, but if you can drive soon then it'd be perfect! He could pay for everything and you'd drive..." etc. etc. etc. She really wanted me to date her son! Haha! She even started talking to my mom about it. But don't worry, I didn't give her any personal information besides what she had in my file so I don't think I'll be getting calls from her son(:

You may be wondering what I'm happy with...and it's my hair!! It's finally not damaged! So now I can straighten it and it doesn't look frizzy; it looks good. I haven't been able to straighten my hair since the end of January, so I'm very excited about this. Now I'm not stuck with just curly hair, I can just jump back and forth.

This is how my hair looked. I took pictures with my Peanut yesterday because I realized I haven't done that yet. I've had him for four months, how could I have not taken pictures with him??(: I also made Peanut sleep in my room last night because I'm still a little scared, ever since I saw Paranormal Activity...sad, huh? Even when I wasn't sleeping in my room on Sunday night, I didn't sleep well. But that's because I was camping overnight in a one person tent with two other people. It was fun, even though we didn't camp for a long time. I went with my friend Jessica, who I haven't seen all summer!

We hung out in the tent a lot of the time past 9 pm, because it got cold outside. Before that we were walking around with the dog. It was fun to just catch up and such. Well, I've got to run! That was just my little catch up time(: Now I've got to get ready for today's school registration. I refuse to believe the summer is coming to an end though!

DiaParanormal Activity

Okay, so I know I've been talking about movies alot...but that's been a lot of where my entertainment has come from lately! Don't worry, I've been doing other stuff besides gluing my eyes to tv screens. But nothing worth writing about ;). So, the latest movie worth writing about was PARANORMAL ACTIVITY! Such a good movie, no joke. I love the creativity the director had in making it look like some sort of documentary. That really did make it look more lifelike. Maybe that's why the movie was so scary. But it's the first scary movie that has ever kept me up at night. I woke up once every hour through the night (it didn't help that Sydney was sleeping next to me and muttering in her sleep). I can't remember what I was dreaming about, but I know it had something to do with the movie. The creepiest part of the movie was that it had no commercials and no credits...And even the main menu was just words, no pictures or moving designs. That also made it kind of lifelike I suppose. But other than that movie, I can give you a little update of what I've been up to. David got surgery on his ACL, so he needs prayer! Unfortunatly, I haven't gotten a chance to go see him yet :( But he's on painkillers and all that. I've just been hanging out with friends, pretty much. Last night Sydney and I watched Paranormal Activity. We wanted to go to Sugarfest, which was a concert that benefits diabetes. But we couldn't get a ride! I felt like I was betraying my diabuddies. Sigghh. On Thursday I hung out with Trevor. Most of the time we were shopping for his school clothes with his mom. That was a lot of fun! Even though he complained most of the time, he and his moms are great shopping buddies. That's just a brief update of my life and why I haven't been blogging as much. Oh! I applied to work at Borders today, so I could really use some prayer because I would LOVE a job there. Especially since I'll be spending 4 years of college studying English, and Borders is a book store.

DiaBACK

Ohmygoodness! A week ago, my computer mysteriously broke....and we've finally got it fixed, thanks to the very generous Jim(: So that's why I haven't been on my blog for a while. Don't worry, I didn't mysteriously disappear off the face of the earth...just the face of the internet. I can't even think of what's happened since I last posted! But I can tell you that last night I went and saw "Despicable Me" in theaters with my friend, Melissa. That movie is so funny and so cute! I highly recommend it. I want to get one of those minions as a stuffed animal...they look like they'd be fun to cuddle with(: I also went and saw Step Up 3D in theaters a few days ago, but I don't recommend it as much. Especially since this is the third time they've tried to do a movie with the same old plot... Sometimes people just need to know when to call it good. But the dancing is still always fun to watch. Oh, and I'd like to point out the elephant in the room....My blog got a makeover(: Special thanks to Cristin for this! Well, now that my computer is working I'll have loads more updates later(: But just one more thing before I go.... I got my nose pierced!
