My Birthday

Well... Yesterday was my birthday. It was unlike any birthday I ever had. I woke up and opened Frozen. I AM SO HAPPY... about that anyways...

At school, my friend, Anne got me the best card EVER!!! I am not gonna say what was in it but it was the best one ever. :)

She also brought be a cake, and that is my birthday before 8:00 AM. I went to my locker and Lauren had decorated it. There was also a gift in it when I opened it. I got five throughout the day. They were awesome!!!

I would have gone to practice, but I didn't empty my gear from my locker and we moved to another pool while ours gets repaired. Instead, we went out to dinner. We went to Chili's.

At dinner, I found out my grandmother died that morning ;(

From now on, I will probably be sad on my birthday ;(

When we got home, we watched Frozen.

My dad liked it. We had a conversation about how Disney kills the parents or they are kidnapped or something...

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... :(

 

The Theater Showcase

It was a great show!!! All of the actors knew just what to do, they knew all their lines, it was funny, it was great.

Lauren was in it and her mom was my ride. After the show, Lauren had to clean up a little backstage. So, my sister, Tyler, goes and sits on the stage. She knows she isn't supposed to, and I told her... repeatedly that she shouldn't be up there. Danielle, Lauren's little sister, decides she wants to sit up on the stage with her. I keep her down for a while, but she did get up there so Tyler and I pulled her down.

She started to complain. "Why can't I sit up there if she can?" and I said "She is a junior. You wanna pull her down, go for it."

Keeping in mind Danielle is only 11ish, I know she couldn't pull her down. What I didn't count on was two people from the play offer to help the little girl.

I tried to keep Tyler up/make sure she came down smoothly, but the two people and Danielle were stronger than me and plowed her off the stage. Tyler hit the ground hard and re-hurt her knees and her shoulder. She blames me and the first thing she does when we get home is tell mom.

She comes in crying "Ashlynn pushed me off the stage."

In my defense it was a meaningless comment I made to Danielle. It was a joke. Danielle COULD NOT EVER EVER EVER pull her down. So I thought I would humor her.

Tyler blames me for making the joke, but she would have done the same thing if she were in my shoes.

If you ask me, it is her fault for sitting on the stage. She got multiple warnings and she even helped me pry Danielle from them once or twice. Tyler should have known better than to sit on the stairs, and frankly, those other two people should have minded their own business.

After she told mom, and I started to say my side of the story, she yells a screech that sounds like something in a horror movie would scream that sounded like 'get out'. So I did.

Mom talked to her for a minute or two then came up to where I was. She accused me of not being a good sister, and that I don't get to pick when I am a good sister, I should just always be one.

The worst part of the whole thing, was that my mom said it in her quiet voice that is even more scary than when she is yelling. When she yells it is bad, but when she is quiet, it means that she is so mad her voice cannot show just how mad she is.

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... (no heart this time)  ;(

Spring Break

So, for spring break, I went to Punta Cana in the Dominican republic. If you don't know where that is, that is ok. Just know it is an island below Mexico/USA.

It was fun, except the fact that I was eaten alive by mosquitos. I also got bad sunburn the first day, but it is a cute tan now. :)

One of the waiter guys at the pool always called me baby. It was weird. When I said I wasn't thirsty, he brought me drinks anyways.

The plane ride there was boring, and the one back my nose was stuck in my book. Don't even get me started on what happened then. X(

Before I left for my trip, I was leaving after the last bell, chatting with my friend, Lexi. She told me to have fun and, of course that I have to bring her a souvenir. The weird part is, she told me to bring her back a hot guy. This is what I get for telling her I was gonna flirt all break. Then Lauren chimes in that she wanted one too. They ended up getting little doll like things wearing dresses. Lexi insisted it was a boy and named it Satin (I hope she was jk).

If you wanna hear more about it, just post a comment and I can write more or I can chat with you about it.

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... <3

Swimming Banquet

So... We went to the swimming banquet tonight. I thought it was just for regional swimmers, but I was wrong. It was the end of the season banquet.

We bring food, appetizers or deserts. First, we eat, then we do awards, then we did the raffle things.

We go down the line of food and pick whatever, like a buffet. We sit down and eat for a while.

After a while, they call the attention to the small table with the awards. First, they give participation awards, or as me and Lauren like to call them: Reminders of Failure and Certificates of Suckiness.

After the awards they had an announcement about next season (the roof collapsed and they kinda have to fix it because they closed down two lanes and we are all crammed into four lanes). I am going to skip over that because it was long and boring.

When they went to the raffles, I didn't really expect to win anything... Like last year. I actually expected Lauren to win and me to not.

What happened was, I put one card in one, two in another, and three in the third basket I wanted (there were a lot of baskets, like thirty). I was so excited about the one I put three in. Lauren had a ton of cards, like three times the amount of me. She put like, one in the basket with the nook (not one of my options. I have a kindle). She put about five in a different basket and the rest in the one with the $100 gift card to Dicks Sporting Goods.
 I ended up winning the raffle I only put one ticket into. In the basket was a Reeses, a swim lesson with my least favorite coach, and a coach bag. A small one. I looked it over and it is worth almost $60. I got it for free with luck.

Life is good

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... <3

This Weekend

This is the first weekend that I have absolutely nothing to do... I am so happy!!!

For the past few weekends I have had swim practice, or a meet, or in last weeks case, TP night Friday night, watching the guys Sectionals, and my last swim meet if the season Sunday.

All I have planned is stay at home and watch movies. I just watched Percy Jackson, the first one, and I have a few more in mind for later this weekend. Maybe some Narnia, or Pirates of the Caribbean. I might also just look up some on Youtube and pull it up on the big screen.

This weekend will also consist of, hopefully, writing more of my book, and sleeping in (during the school year, the latest I "sleep in" is nine or ten o'clock).

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... <3
