Excuses, Pasta, Updates, and TobyMac

Wow guys, it's been almost a month since I've blogged. I have an excuse though: I've been busy! Between birthday parties and working and Jesus Camp, I've been very MIA. But, I am excited to announce that I started my YouTube channel up again (egirl371) and I'm a beauty guru sort of person, along with a vlogger, so please go check it out!!! I'll be starting my Back To School series soon, so be prepared. Oh well...what can I say? Oh yeah, my Tumblr and Twitter are reopened again, so go check those out. So, I'm sorry this is a short post, but I'll write more later! Onto the usuals...

OBSESSION: 

Pasta-So my last three obsessions have been food items, but I've eaten some sort of pasta basically everyday this summer (well, that and PB&J)

AP Literature, Scholarship Competitions, Plans, and Reeses

Hallo my beautiful blog readers. As you may know, I just competed in the Miss Vermont Outstanding Teen scholarship competition, that was basically like a beauty pageant, but with more purpose. It was a lot of fun, and it left me with a lot of new friends and memories. Some of the most memorable ones were waking up at 5:30AM with my friends Emily and Julie to get ready for interview, a disaster known as opening number, dinner at Caroline's (Miss Vermont's Outstanding Teen 2012), and all of the crazy and amazing friends on this journey. I want to do it again, but my parents are against it, and I didn't place so I was kind of bitter towards it. Who knows what this year will bring? Oh, and I also met Ericka Dunlap, Miss America 2004, and there was too much sass between ErickaSquared during the Ericka takeover. And while I was gone, I got my letter with my list of AP books I need to read, which means I'm officially in for it. Other than that, this summer is mine, and I'm taking dance classes, going to concerts, and going to Camp Sonlight as well. Alrighty, onto the usuals.

OBSESSION: 

Reeses-Holy cow, it's almost as bad as the Oreos, but peanut butter and chocolate is so good!

Bucket Lists, Kittens, Oreos, and "The Casual Vacancy"

Heyo!!! It's summertime!!! Which means that it's time to start crossing things off my bucket list. I have between 50-60 things I want to do before the leaves change colors and school comes to haunt me once again. It's so invigorating to think that for once, my summer will be fun and eventful. If only it were July 11th so I could get my license...in other news, I started reading The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, and I LOVE it! I've barely dented it, but it's very intriguing thus far. Also, we got a kitten!!! Her name is Ginevra Marlo, Ginny for short. We named her after Ginny Weasley, because me and my sister both have a BAD obsession with Harry Potter, and Marlo, because Hilary really wanted to name her Marlo, but I wasn't letting that happen. She's an adorable tabby tiger cat and I love her (although, I have a slight fear cats and claws near my legs and feet because of something that happened as a child).
Alrighty then, onto the usuals!

OBSESSION:

Oreos-I know, it's a sad obsession, but I can't help it!!! They're just sooooooo good!

SONGS: 

My Kind Of Crazy-Beyond The Sun

Serendipity-Honor Society

A Million Lives-Jake Miller

Fun fact about those artists: I get to see them in concert on July 3rd and I'm so pumped!!!

I love you all so much!-E

A Year In Review, Dyscalculia, Mariana and The Diamonds, and More Green Eyed Chaos

Well...it's been a while since we've had a chat, haven't we? We left off right before my 15th birthday, respectively. Well, I'm going to fill you in on what you've missed:

• I went to NYC and saw Spiderman: Turn Out The Dark with my HS music department
• I turned 15
• I was in marching band holding the banner
• My Freshman year ended
• I went to the Dominican Republic on a missions trip
• I sat around the house or went to the pool or hung out with my friends all summer
• I went to Camp Sonlight and hung out with my girls who I only get to see 1-2 a year
• I started Sophomore year off on the right foot
• I was a sassy Seamstress in White Christmas at my school
• I started cheerleading again
• I was diagnosed with Dyscalculia (math dyslexia, a learning disorder)
• My year started going downhill and only got worse
• I joined the lacrosse team as defense/goalie
• I went to Williamsburg with my HS music department and we all got gold!
• I marched in band again...but instead, I was twirling a flag as Flag Squad Captain
• I made a very unexpected discovery
• I got my first job...then had a mutual agreement to end it because it REALLY wasn't working out
• I had a dance recital
• My hell finally finished as school got out yesterday...thank goodness

So you haven't missed too much I don't think...just an entire year :)

Alright, back into usuals!
