Garage sale!

I haven't done a good post with pictures in quite a long time, so here it goes:

Brenda and I are awesome. Here is why: we don't have boyfriends! YAY! and everyone else does, so naturally we only do things with each other (it is one of our summer goals to get boyfriends, this means we will actually have to go to single activities). We do lots of random things, like crochet, speed walk, make fudge, and.... go Garage sale shopping!!! Seriously it's the best thing ever. I don't know why I didn't do it before. But here are some pictures from our first outing of garage saling and it was indeed a success.

We also went to Goodwill, but didn't buy anything. That is where most of these pictures come from.

A cool organ that both Brenda and I sat down and played with for a while because it's an organ.



I found a unicorn. It had a bow on it's butt and I found that funny.

Brenda aspires to be a flying squirrel one day. Especially a shiny one.

And then to top it off here are our finds for the day! I will also list them and the prices.

• Brenda's red suitcase for only $1 I believe.
• Rachel's grey suitcase for only $2.
• Brenda's picnic basket that looks kinda like a briefcase for only $2.
• Rachel's bigger basket for only $3.
• Brenda got a whole lot of yarn and ribbon for 25 cents each.
• Rachel got one thing of yarn that looks like autumn colors for 25 cents.
• Brenda got a roll of fabric for only $5.
• Rachel got a set of dishes for only $5.
• Brenda got a picture frame for 50 cents.
• Rachel got a purse for $2.
 

 

And that is why everyone should go garage sale shopping all the time. It is awesome.

Greasy pig

One of my little fourth graders said, "Let's get this greasy pig out of the oven" in referring to the class getting ready and leaving to go to Music. I have decided that I am going to start saying this phrase always.

Sparkly Parseltongue

Brenda and I have invented a new word. One day it will be in the dictionary and you will all feel so blessed that you got to read this blog post about it (that is of course if anyone reads this post). The word is.... drum roll please.... da-dda-dadum (that is my drum roll): sparkletongue. Similar to parseltongue, except for having the ability to speak to and understand snakes, Sparkletongue grants you the ability to speak to and understand ridiculous girls. You know the "sparkly" girls that say like every two seconds and OMG and BFF on a regular basis. You know who I am talking about. It is indeed a true gift if you poses the ability to speak sparkletongue. I salute you.

The Master of Awkward Situations

The other night, my friend Connor told me that I am the "Master of Awkward Situations." I am not sure if this is an insult or a compliment. He told me it's a compliment, but I am not sure if I believe him. According to Connor I understand awkward situations and how people will react to them or something. Oh Connor. Every time I see you, it is always memorable.

Hunger Games Midnight Showing!

I LOVE Midnight showings! They are so much fun! And luckily I was able to go to the Hunger Games Midnight showing! It was awesome. Before hand, we borrowed a stencil that one of my wonderful friends from high school made and was kind enough to let us use it and then we spray painted our shirts! it was awesome!

These are some pictures from the night and our super awesome shirts!

Sometimes Brenda and Zach get bored and put colored pencils behind their ears.

Long Hair.

People are always asking me what the secret is to my long hair.

Here is a picture of my hair. Haha, I felt like this picture was appropriate for this post.

Yes, It is long, I am aware.



My Secrets (Please read "secrets" with a whisper and a hiss):
1. It has taken me years to get my hair this long. It didn't happen over night. The last time I cut my hair short-ish was probably in 9th grade.
2. I rarely straighten, curl, blow dry, or use heat on my hair. in fact, my hair is usually in a ponytail, bun, or braid.
3. I don't use very many products in my hair.
4. My hair is greasy, and guess what: I let it get greasy. I think that the natural oils keep my hair strong and healthy, and therefore longer.

*Some of these are just theries, but they have been working for me.

Oh, Well Crap

The other day I was at church (I am now attending the Single's Ward, in case you were wondering) and I was sitting next to one of my old young women's leaders, whose husband is now in the bishopric for the Single's Ward. Well she told me that she is going to tell me who all the cool boys are in the ward, just so I know. haha. Sacrement comes around, and we get the bread and the water, and then a boy in the ward, isn't sure if we got the water so he gestures to us (this caused some confusion, he was thinking "have you gotten the water yet?" and I was thinking "No, we don't need the water." Obviously, we weren't in sink telepathically). Well he walks away, and Sister A leans over to me and says, "He's cute and tall." And then I lean over to her and say "He's dating my best friend." And then she says, "Oh, well crap." And then I laugh. There is a little pause and then she asks, "Is your friend tall?" haha just making sure that this boy is dating a tall girl, because he is tall. Folks, Miya is tall. And then after Sacrement Meeting I go and find Dev Dev and inform him of the funny story that just occured involving me and him.
