And another day is gone in the life of chives..

Chives. That's my nickname around the house. I got it back when Drake and Josh was still on air.. long.. time.. agoooo.
First-- I'm so in love with "Somebody That I Used To Know" and Lindsey Stirling.. I'm pretty much obsessed. Please listen, listen again and again and again..

Funny short story. My little sisters were playing spies and they were all chewing gum, so, being the normal person that I am, I asked "Where'd ya get the gum?"

And the youngest answered,  "I don't know. Some ladies' purse."

That lady was definitely our mother, but she still got me good haha.

Skye and I. We've grown a lot closer this summer! Just yesterday she picked me up at 7:30 am, we went and played some tennis, went to walmart, then to her house to bleach some shorts.. we're gonnna add lace and finish them sometime this week. I'll be sure to post on that some other time.

lol.. I haaad to do it.

Skye made this loovely flower!

The shoes I bought for a bargain! Eight dollars! They should be here today. 

(I had to order them in my size..5.. lol)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday was such a great day off (except for the fact that the whole day I thought it was Tuesday, which means Pretty Little Liars is on, but it was Monday.. all. day. Grrrr.)! I redid my nails, cleaned my room, helped wash all the carpet, helped pull out all the weeds in the garden, listened to some great Pandora, bleached some shorts, went to breakfast with Skye (at McDonald's :) ), and went to Skye's house and watched music videos and read magazines.. it was just a nice break from everything! Oh, and I played tennis tooo.
I just wish that I could recharge myself simply by plugging myself into the wall. Have I ever told ya'll that I hate sleeping? I feel like we could be doing something much more productive and fun during those eight hours each day! We spend half our lives sleeping!!
Have an effervescent day!

Shakespeare, men drooling,. And much more..

First. Did I tell y'all I now work on Tuesdays.. During Pretty Little Liars?? GAH. 

Second. I now have a black eye. I got in a fight with a girl. Jkjk. None of you believed me, did you guys? So last Friday I got multiple fwds inviting me to go play glow in the dark ultimate frisbee. I Stopped by after work.. Said hello to some friends I hadn't seen all summer and ran a tonnn. We all got way into it.so basically I head butted with b-wags, except I'm the only one that came out with any injuries. Grrrr. I'm now called Abbey Balboa at work hahaah. Does it make me look tougher? 

That's a bit controversial. The tourists wont stop staring though, thats for sure. One asked me if I was in the rodeo and rode the bulls.. No sorry honey, I don't ride bulls. But most people just joke and ask me if I won the fight..I like to play along :) 

Third. Yesterday a guy came in, right? Yes I know lots of guys come in to the store, but this guy is one of those people that just can't stop talking. They never run out of subjects or stories! But this guy... 

He. Was. Drooling. All. Over. The. Counter. 

I'm not kidding. And guess who had to help him?? Germaphobe Tracy, my manager hahah! 

Fourth. I went and watched Shakespeare in the park today! It was sooo good! They performed 'Hamlet.'

 Fifth. Remember when I told you guys that my friend had eye surgery again? Sky and I went to visit her the other day! She said she and her mom drove all the way to Salt Lake, but on the way back they had to take a different route home! They said that they had to go a different route because of the elevation! 

Oh my deary..

That's been my saying lately. "Oh my deary.."
I apologize for not blogging more often! I'm now working 6 days a week and redecorating my room,
(It looks so nice!) so I don't have much free time.
But let's get right to the update.
1. One of my best friends, Taylor, just had her 3rd eye surgery and she's only fifteen. Please pray for her.
2. The other day my friend and I were discussing our dream home. And we both thought, "Hey, we're going to need to be rich.. or just marry someone rich.. or just marry someone who can build our house :)
That's a new addition to my future goals. "Marry someone who can build my dream home" lol.
Then we started talking about what characteristics we want our dream husband to have haha. What to you want?
3. At first, I was just going to paint my old TV stand... but then it turned into a three day project of renovating my bedroom haha. I'm sure you've seen things on Pinterest where the dressers are totally redone using paint and a few stencils. That's what I want to do! Everything in my room matches.. except this old piece. I have a pink, blue and white flower theme with some orange in there.. How can I incorporate that into this piece?? I think I'm going to paint it all white and then stencil the top part...?

This is the blue that is all over my room.. too bad the piece that I want to remake doesn't

have any drawers. It's just wide open with one shelf.

I want to make this!! But replace "Build" with "Pray"

Speaking of praying!! Every night my family and I get together in the family room

and pray the rosary, right? Never in my life have I fallen asleep during it. Sure, it's right before we go 

to bed and sometimes we pray it late around 10pm or so.. If anyone falls asleep it's usually my younger sister s or my parents.. so anyone but me haha. But last night....

I. FELL. ASLEEP.

I still can't believe it. That just proves how drained I am from this job!

What I like to tell myself is.. If I want to get paid a lot I have to work a lot.

 Isn't this cool? I would never do it in the kitchen though.

My friend has something like this in her room!

Oh my view...

 Ok. I'm a Junior in high school and I still don't know how to put on make up.

Makeup is given to me as birthday presents and Christmas presents.. but..

I don't  wear it haha. I don't even know what the little brushes are for!

So I'm keeping an eye out on Pinterest for how to things like these..

 Hopefully I nail this one today for work. It looks pretty.

All I wear is the basics: mascara, eye liner, blush and foundation.

 How to get wavy hair? Realllyyy? Trying it!

 This was soo simple!! Try it yourself!

Hopefully this is as easy as it looks haha..

yes..

Another thing on my to-do list haha!

:)

Ok. Let's talk concerts. 

I'm addicted. 

There, I said it.

I'm addicted to going to concerts.

I might be going to one this weekend as a matter of fact haha!

Concerts that I have yet to attend (and would probably kill to attend)

Luke Bryan

Brothers of the Sun tour with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney

What concerts have you attended? Your favorite? I know mine - Blake Shelton for sure..

 

Summer Vacation is Halfway Over. OME.

Are you wondering why I put OME instead of OMG? No, it's not a spelling error. I did it on purpose. For those of you that do not know.. OME stands for Oh My Edward (as in Edward Cullen hehe). Let's have a little update session..

Happy Fourth! Yesterday was my first day off in (literally) almost two weeks. 

The fourth of July is crazaay busy.

 I'm so blessed to be able to live here.

 My mom is in the middle in this one.

 And now my dad is in the middle!

 I put this picture in Facebook and said, "This is why I wake up early. To get the last piece of pie."

And it's nothing but the truth! This raspberry custard pie is a-fricken-mazingggg!!

Our priest gave us this pie. There were only a few pieces left when I got home.. I tried it and fell in love!

So before I went to bed I  checked how many pieces were left. One. ONE.

So the next morning.. and I swear this is the truth.. I woke up at 7am and ate the last piece :)

So worth it.

HAHAH I put this on my friend's wall. I def LOL'd at this when I saw it.
