Running :)

I love running. I just can’t tell you how much I love to run. I am currently on the Fairfield Track Team and I am also currently training for a half marathon. I have been on the Fairfield Track Team for 3 years; this is my third year. When I was in 7th grade I ran the 4 by 4, the 100m, and the 200m dash. The 4 by 4 is when you have four people on a relay team and each person runs a four hundred. The 200m and the 100m are exactly what it sounds like. Then when I was in 8th grade I hurt my knee so I was only able to do the long jump. I probably should have just have been out for the season but I was too stubborn. So I think I made it worse that year. Now that I am in 9th grade I am only running the 100m and jumping the long jump. I am one of the fastest in the 100m and I am the 2nd longest jumper in the long jump. My knee is still hurting but I have a brace now so it is not bugging me as much.

So one day Cambree Dotson came to me and asked if I wanted to run a half marathon with her. I was hesitant at first because I am not a distance runner. However, she convinced me to run it with her so now I am training for it. I started training on March 30, 2012 with a 3 mile run. We were only supposed to run 2 miles but we wanted to get a courtesy cone from Artic Circle. So we ended up running an extra mile to get our ice cream cone.

Since I have been running at track and training for the half marathon I have been really tired. I have been trying to eat better, but it has not been going well. I am a really picky eater so it is hard for me to eat healthy foods. I had an earlier post about how much I just hate almost all meat… I think you know where this is going. When you are exercising you want to eat protein to help your body to keep up with exercising. So I don’t know how this is going to go with eating meat. So on my way to school this morning my dad was talking to me about how much I need to eat healthy. I don’t know how I am going to survive this summer… oh well I guess. At least I get to have fun running. :)

weekend madness!

Ok so I know that this post is really late, and I’m sorry about that. I have had a crazy weekend. However, it was a very fun one. So on Friday I had some friends over to have a party and to show my house to them. I have wanted to have them over for some time but my brother had friends over whenever I wanted to have my friends over. So I had to keep waiting for a weekend when they could come over. Then when I had a weekend planned, no one could come so I had to put it off till the next week. Then finally on Friday I had them over.  It was a BLAST! I had about 6 friends come over so it was a full house. I had baked a pan full of brownies for that night, my mom had bought a 6 lb. bag of gummy bears, and she had bought 3 lts. of pop. The snacks where yummy and they were almost gone by the end of the night. Then Mallory Lunsford brought Despicable Me to watch. That was a funny movie, I love it. Then after the movie we played sardines. We turned off all of the lights and we picked two people to hid them we counted. We played this several rounds till we decided to play just hid and go seek. We played that for ages until everyone had to go back home. They came over for 4 hours of fun.

Then on Saturday I went dress shopping. I was invited to a quinsenyetta so I had to have a fancier dress than I had to wear. So we went everywhere and we couldn’t find one. So we went back home empty handed. Then later that night we had a family friend, who is an electrician, come over and put in the intercom system.  When they came over they finished the intercom system except for the main one. We still had the order in the mail and it hadn’t come yet. So they started on the security system. That took up the rest of the night and still has more to do.

Then on Sunday we went to church, came home, cleaned the house, and made dinner. We were having some family friends coming over to have dinner with us. So we worked and worked. They arrived and had dinner. My parents had to go to a meeting so we entertained them until they got back home. Then we played Just Dance 2 on the wii. That was really, really, really fun. I was on a roll and winning until I got tired and started losing everyone.  But oh well, it was really fun.

Then on Monday I got really desperate for a dress. So my sister took me to some more stores to find a dress. But every dress I tried on it was too short. Until I finially found one a Ross. I bought it and now I have a dress.

Fun ideas :)

Are you ever bored and you do not know what to do or you just want to make an experience more interesting? Well I am going to help you do just that. I am going to give you some ideas on how to make something better for simple things.

1.       Bring a rope and a Cowboy hat to a local park, find some geese and have yourself a fun time trying to roping some geese.

2.       Write down deep questions on the toilet paper in the public bathroom

3.        Do a few laps in the next revolving door you encounter

4.        Walk down a busy street and then freeze for no reason

5.       Sniff random people on the streets.

6.       Pretend to make a very personal and odd conversation in an elevator with a lot of people.

7.       Greet everyone that comes onto the elevator.

8.       When the money comes out of the ATM, scream, “I Won! I Won! Third time this week!"

9.       Walk behind someone and have an argument with yourself. (It's even better if you talk in two different voices.)

10.   Buy something entirely with pennies.

11.   Walk through a drive through pretending your driving.

12.   5.  Ask to see the manager, and then complain to him about all of life’s problems. If they don’t let you talk to the manager, walk out muttering, “You're gonna be reading about this in the papers.” 

13.   Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.  

14.   When the doors close, announce to the others, “It’s okay. Don't panic, they open up again."

15.   Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap.

16.   Sing your questions.

17.   Leave permanent markers by the dry-erase board.

18.   When the professor calls roll, after each name scream “THAT’S MEEEEE! Oh, no, sorry.”

19.   Hold up a piece of paper that says in large letters “CHECK YOUR FLY.”

20.   Wear your pajamas. Pretend not to notice that you’ve done so.

21.   Ask whether you have to come to class.

22.   Start a “wave” in a large lecture hall.

23.   Ask to introduce your “invisible friend” in the empty seat beside you, and ask for one extra copy of each handout.

24.   Watch the professor through binoculars.

25.   Claim that you wrote the class text book.

26.   In the middle of the lecture, ask your professor whether he believes in ghosts.

27.   Laugh heartily at everything the teacher says. Snort when you laugh.

28.   Bring a typewriter. Use it to take notes.

29.   Bring a fishing rod. Try to catch things on the professor's desk.

30.   Randomly get out of your seat and sit on the floor.

31.   Cry out randomly that everyone is against you.

32.   Tell your teacher you don’t need to do your homework because you’re
skipping school tomorrow.

33.   Randomly laugh hysterically

34.   Raise your hand and wave it around like you know the answer. Then ask
the teacher why they called on you.

Family Fun

I had another fun weekend. My parents planed a trip to Las Vegas to visit my uncle for his birthday, but he got sick and his wife, my aunt, asked us not to come because of how bad he was feeling. So instead of going to Las Vegas my parents took my brothers and I to Lehi and stayed there overnight. Since my sister was away at college working, she wasn’t able to get the time off and come with us, so I got the bed to myself while my bothers had to share one. I have never had a bed to myself so that just made my day.

So we got to Lehi around 7 o’clock. We checked into our hotel room and went to go eat dinner. It took us a while to decide where to go because I didn’t like Chinese food and everyone wanted to go to Panda Express. Finally we decided to go eat at Denny’s. Denny’s had pretty good food, and got us filled. So after we ate we went back to the hotel room and went to the pool. Everyone sat in the hot tub except for my little brother Parker; he went for a swim in the regular pool. We swam for a while then went back to our room watched TV and ate popcorn.

We had season passes to Trafalga, so we went there in the morning. At Trafalga we played black light laser tag and black light mini golfing.  Both were really fun. For black light laser tag you were “in New York” and had to save it from a bad guy. My family and I were always put in a group with a whole bunch of little kids. It drove me nuts! They were talking a whole bunch of trash. They kept saying that they would win because they have done this before and that they were the best. I was about to strangle them. It bugs me when people talk like that and brag. So to teach them a lesson my family and I set out to cream them. In the end we beat them big time. There was at least a 2,000 point difference between our two scores. When they realized that they didn’t win the little kids were saying that they felt bad for us and let us win and that they didn’t try their hardest. Oh man I sure wanted to strangle them…  Anyways we always won, we didn’t lose this time. As for black light mini golfing… well that’s a whole different story. I am a horrible golfer, and when I say horrible I mean horrible. It took me on average 7 tries before I could get it in the hole. My rest of my family though… they were amazing! My brother Garry shot the ball off the wall and made a hole in one. It was amazing! The rest of my family was making shots like that also.

My weekend as you have seen was very fun. I went to Lehi instead of Las Vegas but it turned out to be really fun. :)

Future

My goal in life is to be rich and very famous. I don’t know what I would be famous for though, I just have to be famous. I would have so much money that I could do anything and go anywhere. I would have my own bank to put all of my money.

I would have a great deal of houses. I would have a house in every tropical place in the world. There would also be houses in Italy, France, Germany, Rome and so many more places that I just don’t have time to tell you about them right now. I have to tell you what my favorite house would look like and where it would be. My dream house would have to be in the Bahamas. The Bahamas is a nice tropical place that has the beach and the ocean. My house would be on the beach.

It would be 9,000 sq feet. I know you are probably saying that is a huge house. Nevertheless, who doesn’t want a big house? Inside the house it would have a swimming pool, game room, exercise room, and an indoor basketball court. Last but certainly not least I will have a room that is filled with pillows, yes you heard me right a pillow room. In that pillow room there is a diving bored. You can jump off the diving bored and fall onto the pillows. It’s impossible to get hurt because they are just pillows. The walls will have pillows on them, so that the walls won’t hurt you.

Now that’s just my houses that I would spend my wealth on. I’m not selfish so I would help out my dear family. I would give my parents their dream house, (what ever that is). My dad has always wanted a Doge Charger. So I would buy one for him and any other car that he wanted.

My sister wants to meat Taylor Swift so I would get her back stage passes and meet and greet passes to a Taylor Swift concert. She would be so happy. Yes if I ever do get rich and famous then I would do that for her.

See I’m not selfish I just want to be rich and famous. Of course I would give some to charity and stuff. There is nothing wrong with having a dream/goal. Even if it never does come true I still have something to work for. What’s life with out something to look forward to? I will tell you, life would be nothing. Life would be boring. You have to have something to look forward to or work for. If you don’t then you will just be a lazy couch potato. Who would want that? I surely wouldn’t want that to occur to me. So have a dream, pursue it. Don’t end up as a bum on the street. Because then you wouldn’t have your dream house or help out your family.

I have a dream and I’m going to go with it.
