Hey everyone! Well it's been a couple days and I've been really busy, but I've had a lot of fun.
Yesterday I went quadding with my dad and his friends up around Orting. It was really fun! I'm not exactly amazing at quadding because I'm still not very experienced, but every time I go, I get better and I feel more comfortable riding my dad's quad. My dad always goes quadding with his friend Billy, who has a couple quads, so we have quite a few people come. Unfortunately, there aren't enough quads for everyone, so there are always a couple people who double. I always ride with my dad until we get a big open area, where we stop and take a break. The adults get off the quads and let us kids ride around for a while. We went to this one place yesterday that was on private property, so we had to be kind of careful not to go too close to the road because we weren't really supposed to be back there riding...but everyone does it anyway :P
Today I had kind of a bad day at school. I mean, it was as good as any to start off with, but during P.E. (we are doing a basketball unit right now) we were doing free shooting, so there was a lot of people shooting at the same hoop. I looked down for a second, and I'm not sure who, but someone threw a basketball really hard and it hit me square on the side of the face! I know they didn't mean to and I'm not sure if the guys who were playing with the basketball even knew who threw it because a bunch of guys came over to me and apologized. I was so embarrassed because I started crying...I hate crying when I'm around other people because my face gets all red and my eyes swell up. People tell me that I really don't look that bad when I cry, but I think they're just being nice...haha. Anyway, the weird part was that it didn't even hurt very bad, or else for some reason I didn't really feel it. I think it was more the shock of the hard impact on my face that made me start crying. I hadn't really been feeling all that great this morning (and several people in my family are sick right now) and when I cry I tend to gag...blehblehbleh! Well of course it just had to get worse and I started retching, and I had to run out of the gym trying not to throw up on the floor. Luckily I made it to the garbage can before I got sick. Because I got hit in the head and threw up after that, of course the P.E. teacher and nurse would think that I got a concussion so I had to go up to the nurses office riding in this stupid wheelchair thing. I really just wanted to walk, but they wouldn't let me...ugh, it was so embarrassing! :(
I turned out to be alright, with no concussion, so it's all good.
So I have these two projects going right now. One of them is for me, and one is for a Christmas present for my mom (I hope you don't read this before Christmas, mom). First, I have made a commitment to myself to get up and work out before school every morning. After volleyball ended, I got so lazy, and I need to stay in shape for when tennis starts :) So I'm going to get up at five every morning and do this workout called "thirty-day shred." Jillian Michaels - ever heard of her? She's this kick-butt trainer who is in amazing shape and does all these different workout videos and she's also on TV. Well her workouts are really good. Today I got up and did my first workout at 5am, and oh my was that fun...but it'll be worth it. I just hope that by posting this that I'll actually have the motivation to get up every morning. Wish me luck!
The second project that I have going is that I am hand making a pair of knit socks for my mom! I'm so excited and I hope they turn out well. I'm not exactly a really artsy-craftsy person, but I really like making things and using my hands. Let's just hope I get the socks done before Christmas!
Thanks for reading! I appreciate comments to let me know you've read! Bye for now :)
