Ok.... so I've done a horrible job at blogging the last couple of months!! I'll try to do better now that school is out for awhile!! A lot of time has went by since my last post... a lot of great things and not so great things have happened!! I of course don't remember most of them so I will try not to be too boring with my little bit of Mandy's Life knowledge!! Sad when Mandy has no facts on her own life!! Yeah it was just that hectic!! And btw... there won't be a book review this blog!! Not because I haven't read a bazillion of them but because I just don't feel like doing it. I'll have one next week though... I read the next book of those Lucky Harbor books I've been telling you guys about and I wanna share. Just not today! And yes I am aware my blog is full of grammatical errors... I'm just not in the mood for grammar today either!!
April:
Boy was that an interesting month... Me my mom and Candie tried something new!! Didn't know the results would be so good!! I so enjoyed our adventure together that Candie and I are doing it again. If you can't tell what our adventure was then I'm not telling you!! You are now on my I don't like you list. In April I learned that I now hate apples... yup hatem!! I learned you can live without sweet tea but it's extremely painful annnnnd melba toast is not toast its a freaking hard as a rock crouton!! A yucky crouton at that!! I know I saw several movies with L-nel but I swear I can't name them. My stepdad fixed the a/c in my car thank goodness since it was about to get hot! Goodness... you say April and I immediately draw a huge blank!! What I do remember about April was that I was sick!!
May:
This month is a little fresher in my mind lol. Let's see... Lionela and I went to the midnight premiere of the Avengers. Awesome movie and we had a great time. Even though I had a drunk man dressed like Thor on one side and Lionela had a crazy lady on her other side. And since the movie tavern had just fired their entire staff and gotten all new employees... well let's just say the service really really sucked. Hmmm... then I took Riah and my dad's gf's daughter Taylor to Casa Manana to see Annie. It was really amazing. I loved it and so did the girls. The young girl that played Annie did a very good job. I can't wait to go back to another show and see something else. I had forgotten how much I love live theater. Then there was Mother's day that I spent with my mom seeing Think Like A Man... If you haven't seen this movie welllllll you should. It was hilarious and soooo true on so many levels. Everyone in the theater was laughing the whole time. I also scored some new clothes that day... that my mom paid for... free stuff is the best stuff!! Ohhh and my brother asked Lerin to marry him although I wasn't there for that I knew it was happening. And I saw the pictures so I feel like I was there. Thennnn Lionela and I went and saw Dark Shadows with our man Johnny Depp. At first I was scared cuz I have this theater phobia where I can't be alone in the theater without other people but a young guy and an old guy came. The old guy turned out to be a weirdo but since he was a funny weirdo we didn't mind too much. He would laugh loud and long like a whole minute after whatever was funny had passed. The next day my brother left for Afghanistan so I didn't really do anything fun :(!! And of course there was Manduh's birthday celebration at Abuelos. OMG.... my food was horrible. I got sour cream enchiladas. Maybe if I had gotten something else it would have been ok but Lerin, My dad and my mom all said their food was a no go. Buuuut it was Manduh's birthday and she loved her food so that was the important thing. Plus.... Dad bought a cake from sweet imaginations and I just love them.... I really really do. No really I do. They also have amazing cookies. Even though I didn't like my food... It was a really great and fun night. I do so love our family get togethers... only 10 of that was sarcasm I really do like em... don't tell anyone though!! Then on Sunday I went to a MaryKay party at Sister Williams and got to see Janna and Bethany and Charity (too bad Lauren wasn't there). Hadn't seen them in forever and I got a facial. Facials are GREAT! I really liked my lip gloss... Fancy Nancy! When I run out of what I already have I know what I will be getting. I also want that travel bag... I like cool things even if I will never use them. All this would have been soooo much more fun.... if I weren't sick! yeah yeah I'm on it!!
