Previous meet score

89th Lex Mangan Browns River Middle School 15:15.6 5:05/K That was pretty good. I was 2 away from half, but that is OK. I will do better and push myself next time. I have had so many tests this week, and I am so ready for a break! I am having a friend over tomorrow, and I am excited about that because I barely ever get to have that chance. I have been awfully hungry lately. Yes, I know growth spurt but it is like crazy! I will have an apple at like 10:15 and by 10:55 I am starved and ready for lunch. Then I am hungry before I get home, so I eat some and am ready for dinner 1-1 1/2 hours later. I am hungry before bed. I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY! Oh, and when I'm not hungry I am thirsty? Why can't I stay content? The harvest market is this weekend.. it is just a big market where you can get everything. There are lots of good foods and fun little toys. There is a parade and you get to hang out with your friends! I have made a new goal. I want to bog at least once every week, and If I don't, i will write an extra long one the next time! Well, I guess I should probably work on my LA story. Have a good weekend, Lex

Activities

To start off with, I had my first real Cross Country meet. I cam in 49th out of 88 girls. I was pretty happy with myself and look forward to doing better (i hope) I am really liking it so far and kind of wish I had done it the years before. I am back in the swing of dance and am learning new steps. I hope I can get to some feis' again. As for Tai Kwon Do, as of tonight I am officially a yellow belt. No more easy white belt! There are some pictures of me running, me and my best friend, and me testing

Before

That was before the redo. Finally I got my room done and it looks awesome! My mom thinks the walls are too pink-but i like it! I painted it myself but my mom did the high spots and touch ups. I went shopping and didnt really see/get anything special. waahoo! The final outcome.............

After

And I love it!

Spitpapers, iHomes, Rice Salad, Leaves and More

School started! I was not excited about it starting, but since I've been, I look forward to going to school. Well, I pretty much only look forward to seeing what my teacher (One of them) has in mind. Mr. Bumpas is a great teacher, and he is HILARIOUS! If you use a pen in class, he takes your paper, stuffs it in his mouth, gets water in his mouth, swishes and gurgles it, spits the water out, takes it out of his mouth and throws it on the wall. And it sticks. He also stands on his head in the middle of class, on a couch. Randomly he makes farting noises in the middle of a quiz. Or he says, "No, I just want to eat chalk." Then (obvously) spits it out. He said he thought it would be minty. He makes it fun math, which not many people hear of. He is also my Cross Country coach. That to is also fun. I got a new iHome recently, that I am just loving. I got one with the radio. It was 60 $ but it is almost starting to be worth. I also got it 20 bucks cheaper than usual. My new favorite food to take to school for lunch is Rice salad. (That's what I call it.) It is wild rice with a dressing and i put chicken, carrots, red oions in it! YUMMY! I just cannot believe that leaves are falling already! Summer felt like it was 3 weeks long.I do kind of look forward to it being cooler because i am tired of all this hot weather, but sadly i still have the fan going and can only put one sheet over me. I am going to become a yellow belt on September 17th. I need to practice my stances and vocab. That, I Pretty much have done, but i can always make time to study. I know i will pass, because he oly lets you test when you ready and i was supposed to test at the end of july. Wish me luck! Well, I am going to go get some ice cream! Love you for reading.

Sweaters for Coll

The top one is my favorite! Isn't the mushroom one cute? Comment so I know you saw them!

My past 3 weeks

I was in Buffalo the past 3 weeks. I had so much fun. It was so nice to see all my cousins. I hadn't seen them in over a year. We spent our days biking and going to the corner store, we went to the fair and saw the hypnotist and walked around, i won a fish, took care of Chimmy, we went to the mall, went to the movies, played with Carolyns friends, watched TV, and hung around with Grammy. My family got there on the 19th and it was nice to see them because i missed them so much. On Monday the 23 we headed to Ohio. We went and saw Coll. That was a great trip. It was really nice to see Coll and meet the babies. They are so adorable. They are so smiley and talkative. I love to listen to them babble. I wish you all lived closer. School starts in 4 days and I do not want to go back. I miss my friends but do not want to learn anymore. If you know what I mean

Home, or am I?

I have been home. We got home like 10 and i put away some things. I have been home for a 17 hours. I will tell you what i am doing later. I am bored so i am writing, but i have nothing to write about. BYE

More stuff

Home tomorrow. I am ready to go home, but enjoyed my vacation in Florida. I dont look forward to tomorrows travel. God how i miss Cliffy. He is at a friends house enjoying being brushed. Do you like my new background? Coll, you should check them out, there are a few cute ones that would match baby theme. It is the bacround under design. Today we went to the beach and it was really deep. You would go 5 feet and all of the sudden you would be up to your neck in pretty blue salt water. It was nice. Write later

A bunch of Fairmont pictures

trying things

I love going on vacation and getting to try new things. Like for the first time EVER today I tried Cinnabon( I have had a cinnimon roll, but not from cinnabon) and Godiva chocolate. That chocolate is amazing. I ate at the Cheese Cake Factory for the first time in my life. I tried a cuban sandwhich. I wore a flat cap. I also went to a bunch of stores I have never been too. Pad went on a lazy river for the first time in his life. I always love when people are like, "I went to Blahblahblah today." and I can be like, "I've already been there." I know it sounds like bragging but everyone likes that, right?

The other night we ate at a place called GrillFish. It was AMAZING!! I had macaroni and cheese, and it was the BEST! The bread they served was AWESOME! If you ever come here, you have to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday night we ate at a place called Hostaria Romana. It was expensive and not that good. The picture with us at the red and white table is that place. The waiters were very friendly though. Tonight we are eating at Five Guys. The best burger place EVER!!!! The beach is right out the door. It is really nice, but the water is salty. the ocean water is like bath water, ~86 degrees. I have never been in an ocean that warm. well My hands hurt. Ill write later!
