I Got Color part 2

My room is mostly finished now! I have a picture, it's not very good because I took it with my phone. It's only a small corner of my room, but you get the idea.

I Got Color!

Now that I have Jason's mess all sorted out, I can tell yall what I got on here to tell you. I've been working on painting my room with my mom. A few months ago I decided that the dark purple covering my walls was just a little too dark and decided I wanted to paint. Later when we were at the Target, we found a bed set that was really cool. The comforter is white with lime green, chocolate brown, and about three shades of teal, giant circles. I love it. So i'm in the process of painting the walls- the top part light teal and the bottom darker teal with a brown stripe between them. I love it. The colors are incredible. It is certainly much more soothing than bright purple. It was rather interesting- I got a paper that talks about colors and the meanings and feelings connected with them in my English class last semester. Dark Purple can sometimes cause depression and frustration. Aqua/Teal is a soothing color associated with physical and emotional healing. (who doesn't need some of that sometimes?) Green is the color of growth and prosperity, overall a positive color. Brown denotes a masculine influence. It's all rather interesting that those are the colors I chose and, in a way they are the things I want/need. And its kind of interesting that I was more likely to get frustrated doing homework in my purple room than I was doing it in any other part of the house. It's just fascinating to me that color can mean so much more than you think.

And i just realized he changed the heading too! I never put the "and boys" part. Loser! I am not exactly happy.

Jason is dead!

Hello everyone. I would like to explain to you all that i did not make the last few posts were not made by me but my friend Jason. If he wanted me to post pictures of him on my blog he should have asked. He also changed the background of my blog without my knowledge. My bad for not going on the computer for a week. Hey at least I like the change, but Jason seriously ask next time! Huff! (with exasperation and amusement). At least he didn't change my playlist.

This picture is from My accident last month, I dont remember how it happened, what type of vehicle it was, or what it looked like.

Early morning service activity

This morning I went with my dad to help at the church welfare farm in Coolidge. I was quite a neat experience. I was glad that I had him sign us up. But it was EARLY! We were supposed to start work at 5:30 am, but it took an hour to drive out there, so we had to meet at the church at 4:15 (it was still dark outside!) Then I had to have a few minutes to get ready to go, so I had to get up at 3:45 am! (pretty sure that's a first for me.) We were finished working by 7:30 (usually I don't even get up that early). It was great though. I've been dozing on and off most of the past few hours, but I think I'm caught up on sleep now. In a little while I'm going to go over to Nan's house to watch more Dawson's Creek (she got season 2)! I miss my friends. I hope I can get them to come over for a water fight and weenie roast. That would be so much fun.

A Step into the Real World

Today I am going to apply for a job. (Aaah! I don't wanna grow up that much!) Actually I do. I need the money. I'm in debt (don't worry it's only about $30-and I only owe my mom) and there are a lot of things I need, and want, to buy. I've applied at this place before, but they weren't hiring at all and the application expired, so I will have to apply again. I'm excited-it's a pretty easy job with few hours and only a few days a week. My three older sisters all worked at the same place when they were in high school- It's called The Springs, it's a retirement home and I can apply for a job on the wait staff for dinner. Fun, huh? I'm glad though, that I may actually have a chance at getting a job.

Go D-Backs!

Tonight for mutual we are going to the Diamondbacks' Game! I like baseball. It is one of the few sports that I actually understand. I'm not a very competitive person, and have never been very good at sports, but I do enjoy watching them every once in a while. Mesa High football games are probably the most exciting to watch (but that's just because we have the most school spirit out of everyone!) Go Jackrabbits! Purple and Gold! (Even though there won't be another game for a few months!) . That's part of why I'm sad that school's out, I love going to games and other activities. I am glad for the break, though. It was getting kind of hard to keep up. The last few weeks were the worst in terms of work, but the best in terms of friends and socializing. I am glad for the break, but am looking forward to when it starts again.

Brief (but maybe rather long) Update

What a week! By summer standards, it was pretty packed (but incredibly fun). I thought that this would probably be the boringest week of the whole summer, but it actually turned out great. As I already said, I had a guy on my doorstep on Monday. I got to babysit Reed all day Tuesday (with Ella's help of course!). My mom came home from her trip to Alabama on Wednesday, and we're all glad she's home. I can't remember Thursday, but I know I did something. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my older sister Amanda shopping for books for her library. We went to Bookman's and along with her books she bought the first season of Dawson's Creek (It was her favorite show when she was my age). So I stayed over at her house last night to watch it. It was pretty good-I was too young to watch it when it was on TV. Then this morning we stripped the stain off of her new bookshelves for her library. That was a first for me, but incredibly fun because we were laughing and joking the entire time. Tomorrow is Sunday, so it should be a lot less busy. Next week I'm going to clean up my room so that we can paint it! Yeah! I'll tell ya more about it as soon as it happens. Who knows? Maybe this summer will turn out to be exciting!

A guy on my doorstep

Summer vacation started less than two weeks ago, and I'm already missing all of my friends. And, since I was at Girls' Camp most of last week, it's been quite a while since I've talked to any of my guy friends. Today, though, I had the surprise of the day when one of them was on my front doorstep. I was on the computer and the doorbell rang. My little sister answered it, and I heard a guy's voice ask "Is Millie here?". My mind raced wondering who it was and what they would possibly be here for. When I got to the door (a whole six steps from the computer) I saw Logan Carroll! I was so glad to see him, but still had no idea what he was here for. And he smelled good. Then he proceeded to tell me that i had left my scripture mastery flash cards from Seminary on the bus, and that he had come to deliver them. We talked a minute more, and he mentioned Boot Camp last week. It really wasn't a huge event today, but it meant a lot to me. So I made him brownies. (its something i do frequently for people I want to thank.)

Girls' Camp Last Week

Girls' Camp last week was fantastic, a little hard, but always great. Those of you that know, know. I learned so much this year, interesting because being a ycl (youth camp leader) I was one to the ones teaching! I think this year I learned a little bit about what the leaders (always fantastic, always caring) go through. Trying to herd and help thirty silly teenage girls for four days has got to be a challenge! Not to mention that sometimes those girls don't have the best attitude about things, due to unpleasant wilderness conditions and lack of sleep. You really have to give the leaders credit for all of that! My only complaint was that i had to do quite a bit of "tent hopping" to accomodate the other girls' wants, so i never really had a "home tent". That and my feet were cold at night. But all that is to be expected and overlooked. Otherwise, I had a great experience.
