Strawberry Fields Forever....NOT!!

Well, Beth and I went picking this morning. All psyched to spend an hour of "hard work" and then home to make jam and shortcake. All we had were slim pickins though. The farm was hit with a frost last month and I think they also didn't do a lot of upkeep on some of their fields. We were able to eek out almost a quart of berries. But as you can see, we did manage to have some tasty strawberry shortcake.

Simple Woman Summer Swap


I'm entering the world of "Swaps"!! I found this blog...swapdex.blogspot.com...that lists different swaps you can join. Many are for handcrafted items and I'm not very crafty anymore. The "Simple Woman" blog is offering the summer swap. With summer being the theme, I will send my swap partner a new item, a gently used item from home and an item from a yard sale, goodwill etc. All these items have to say "summer". Sounds like fun. Hmmm, what can I find around here? I'll be on the search tomorrow. If you want to join in, here is the link http://thesimplewoman.blogspot.com/2008/06/simple-woman-summer-swap.html

last few hours


I only have a few more hours left of being a teenager and I'm glad it's over.




tomorrow is my birthday, and I plan on just enjoying it and probablly doing nothing. Were going out for dessert instead of dinner. you know how it is sometimes when you go out to eat and you want dessert but your too full. thats why I decided on that. I think I'm gonna chooseto go to Uno's. they have this giant reeses peanut butter cup dessert that s DELICIOUS!!!!

YUM YUM!!

I'm hoping that I get some money from mom and dad to put toward the purchase of a new guitar. I really need a new oney mine has so many problems with it.

well anyways. YAY!! 3 hours left!!

My "wild and crazy" guy


When I came home Thursday from work, Dad called out to me that he had a crazy idea. He suggested that we go out to eat....dessert. He said when we do eat out we don't have room for dessert so...we went and had dessert. We went up to the Double O Grill(formerly, for those who remember, the Rolling Rock Cafe). I checked their menu on line and saw that they had an impressive dessert menu. http://www.doubleogrill.com/DessertsWapp.pdf
Dad had the Death by Chocolate Cake and I had the Giant Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich. My eyes bugged out when the waitress was bringing it to the table! Imagine a brownie approx. 5 inches square with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge somewhere in there and another brownie on top of the ice cream and a big glob of fresh whipped cream!!!! What a sin. I couldn't eat the whole thing. I don't know how people would be able to eat a meal and then have some dessert. Impossible!!

Nightwish pics

Ok so I had a hard time choosing but hey it's not all 200. It's not like you really care about the pics but whats a blog with out pics and I wanted to share my fun.
















Nightwish Concert

So last night was amazing. I literally can't explain it. mom will probably freak when she reads this next comment... I guess the closest thing I can describe it as is being like a really amazing religious experience like being touched from God. something to that effect that you get in your stomach. I get that alot when I'm at concerts, but this was the most amazing one. I have been waiting a long time to see them and never thought I ever would in the United States. Let alone did I ever think they would come as close as they did.







Here's a little story from last night while I was waiting in line. I got there at about 6:30 thinking I would only have a half hour to wait before the doors opened cause they said they were supposed to open at 7. well no. they didn't open til 8. while waiting in line they came around and said that camera's weren't allowed and if you had a camera you had to go put it back in your car. I originally was just gonna hide my camera and if they saw it when they checked bags I was gonna hand them my batteries. but then I decided I would put my camera away. so I asked some one to hold my place while I ran back to my car. and put it in. literally 10 minutes after I got back in line the security guards came around and said cameras were ok now. once they said that a ton of people yelled at the same time and voiced their opinion in so many words. so I ran all the way back to my car again and retrieved my camera. I was a little annoyed. I thought I wasn't going to have any pics to blog. but thank goodness they were allowed. now I have almost 200 to blog............. NOT!! I'm not gonna subject you to all of them. I'll just post a few of the best shots. thats going to be hard since I took so many amazing pics.
