4 Months

I know, I know.. I haven't posted in FOREVER! Sorry. Life has kinda, sorta gotten in my way. Okay, wait.. no, school has gotten in the way. But I promise an update soon for anyone who cares to read! In the meantime, all of you hate Sarah Palin? Ha, I see that I didn't get any comments on my last post.. I had an amazing time meeting her! (Question to self: Has it really already been four months since I met her?) Anyway, have an amazing weekend! :)

11/29 = A-m-a-z-i-n-g!

Amazing pretty much sums up November 29th, 2010. I'm sure you know that I already mentioned in a previous post that I was planning to go to Sarah Palin's book signing in LA. And obviously, I got my wish!!! Ha, I couldn't believe it ... Honestly. My luck actually went really well!! Oh, and may I add that I got to stay home from school that day? Yeah, so I guess that was pretty cool, too. :)

I was SO excited the whole day leading up to meeting her! The signing was THE only thing on my mind all freaking day. My dad was so sweet to actually get the wristband to the signing earlier that morning, so I could get to meet her! This is isn't fair to everyone else that waited forever to get a band that morning, but hey - I've known her since 2007, so I guess I shouldn't HAVE to wait. Okay, that's mean. Ha, nevermind. But if makes anyone feel better, I DID have to wait 2 1/2 hours before the signing started. I thought the line would be SO long when I got there, but it wasn't. My mom, her friend, and I were actually like # 45-47 in line.

Oh, Did you want to know how it went when I actually met her? Of course you did. ;) Well, it was great. Here's how it went (if I remember correctly):

Me: Hiiii!

(Shakes my hand)

Sarah: Hey! What's your name?

Me: I'm Demi.

Sarah: Demi, it's so nice to meet you!

Me: Can I give you a hug?

Sarah: Oh yeah, of course.

(Stands up, reaches across table, hugs me)

Sarah: Thanks so much for the support! Appreciate it!
Me: You're welcome. Thanks!

Sarah: You're so beautiful and so sweet! Have a great night!

Soooo, um, need I say more? Ha, I seriously had it ALL planned out what I was going to say, but when I actually went up to her, it just went out of my mind. Grrr! Asking for the hug was going to be the last thing. I wasn't intending to ask right away. After I left the table, she met my mom and I walked away (Not sure why?). Sarah said something about me, but I didn't catch it. Oh well. Yeah, it also doesn't help that my mom doesn't remember. Ahah.

I just wanted to share this amazing experience with you guys! :) And update my blog, it seems I've abandoned it. Ha!

What's been up?

I'm sure that is the question that all 34 of you have, right? Okay ... Maybe you do, maybe you don't. In fact, I'm like 100% positive that you don't care how long it's been since I updated the blog here. That's okay, though. I still think all of you are awesome for following my lame blog. :) Ha.

In all seriousness, though, this school year has been SO freaking exhausting!!!! I swear, I have NEVER studied/focused so much on school than I have this year. It's been crazy! But I'm so thankful that it's been paying off - The first 2 quarters I made Honor Roll. I just missed the last one by a point. A freaking point!!! Ugh. But it's all good - I'll get it again for this last quarter in this semester. Or so I hope. Ha, Spanish is holding me back. It's honestly been the ONLY subject I'm worried about: 99, 97, and 89 in all my other classes. That one 85 held me back. If you need to take a foreign language class, don't take Spanish. Too time confusing.. I spend all my time studying. But that may be because I'm slow in that area. But whatever! Even though it's been rough, it's been a great year so far. Thankfully!!!

I'm SOOOOOO excited!!!!!!! I don't know about any of you guys here, but I'm totally a huge supporter of this lady pictured above! Ha, I get that I'm only sixteen (call me a nerd) but I find her so inspiring! I hate that everyone is always on her - making negative comments and what not. I feel bad for her and her family. Okay, off track: This coming Monday (the 29th that is) I'm hoping to get the chance of a lifetime! I'll seriously hoping I get to meet her and get her to sign her new book. Ahhhh, I seriously can't wait. Last year she didn't come to Louisiana, but I'm so happy she's making a stop in New Orleans this year. You guys - wish me luck. Ha, my luck is always bad so I'm kinda not sure if I'll get the chance to meet her.

Anyway, I told you guys I would update you. And here it is. I hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving! Be thankful! :)

A little late.

Okay, more like a month and a half late!!! Ha, Gosh, I'm not a good blogger at all. I'm still alive, FYI. I can't write a long post now, but I'll update the blog for anyone who cares soon. :)

MIA/Homecoming

Before you ask, yeah, I know it's been 21 days since I last posted. Yiiiikkkkeeees! Ha, okay, wait ... That isn't TOO long. ;) Seriously though, I have been studying so freaking much. It sucks. Well, I'm passing with all A's, and a B so I guess it's paying off. It's taken soooo much of time, and by like 7:00 I'm passed OUT. Not normal for a 16 year old. Well, not for me anyway. I really wanna getting back to blogging, tho. I'll try. TRY!

Guess what? Well, don;t guess. The title gave it away! Haha. It's homecoming weekend. Yay? Eh. I'm going to the dance tomorrow, but I'm not too thrilled. I didn't go last year, so I promised myself I was going to go this year. And well, I don't really want to go. I have my dress, shoes, jewerly, ticket ... So not going is NOT an option. UGH! Actually, I'm more nervous than anything. It's my first dance, and well, my biggest fear? Some girl having the same dress as me. How freaking retarted do I sound? I know that's a crazy reason, but still. Another fear: I'll look stupid, and nothing will match with my dress. I just worry soo much, so I doubt I'll enjoy the night. NO WAY I'll stay the whole three hours. Maybe 2 hours. No more. Yeah, call me weird. Whatever. ;) This week was HC week @ school. So, of course we had all those crazy "theme" days. Like nerd day, PJ day, and what not. I'm proud to say ... I did NOT participate in any of them. Okay, wait, I did PJ day, but that was it. Pretty pathetic, right? I know, I know. I'll get into the spirit ... Senior year, maybe.

Anyway, I just wanted to update the blog. :) If I get pictures tomorrow, I'll see about posting them for ya. Wish me luck, guys! Have a fab weekend!

Baby Pictures

I was randomly going thru my closet today ... Okay, well actually, I was cleaning it. Yeah, huge shocker!!!! I'm always too lazy to get to it, but thankfully I got it done today! :) Not a cool way to spend a Friday night when I could be getting ready for a football game at school but hey .. At least it's done. And as I was cleaning it, I found a shoebox filled with baby pictures!!! Cute little surprise, right? Yeah, totally. And I thought it would be cool to post some pictures of them. I mean, since it is my blog and all. ;) I'm pretty sure that ALL of the pictures will end up showing up at the top of the post. UGH! I need to figure out how to post them correctly. Any takers on helping me out here? Any day would be cool. Most of them are just me, but the one with me in the little car, it's my little sister. It's hard to believe we actually played together when we were younger. SO not like that today. Haha. Anyway, enjoy!

OH, and three day weekend! THANK GOD! :)

I'm back!

Well, for now that is. Haha. I can't believe it's been two weeks since I posted!!! Two loooong weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah ... You don't care!! But I'd just thought I'd write a new one. My blog seems kinda lonely/sad, so what's Demi to do? Update, duh! :)

School is still annoying. Eh. But on the bright side, it's gotten better. I've been studying FAR more (first for me, ha) and it's been pretty easy. Still Spanish is my weak spot. I think it'll always be. But I'm passing, tho. Can't complain.

This past weekend was kinda cool ... Okay, I said kinda. Hah, you may think otherwise and that's cool. I went to the New Orleans Arena with my older cousin, her two kids, and my aunt's grandkids. My 2nd cousin was trying out for the Stingers, a junior dance team (8-12) for the Honeybees (Hornet's). They got to learn some dances, play games, and basically have a fun time. It was cool, for me, because I got to watch some of the Honeybee's that were present perform dances, and they're REALLY good!!!! I don't go to basketball games, so I never see them perform. But they were great. It was a cool experience. God, now I sound lame, eh?

This weekend is my mom's birthday. And let me just say: I know everyone thinks their mom is THE best, but my mom is truly an amazing person. I don't tell her that much, and I really need to start. She works SIX jobs to support my younger sister and I, and she's not a young mom. Ha, I have two older sisters (35 and 29). I don't think she would want me to share her age on here, but she's somewhere in the 50's. ;) I have NO idea what to get her yet, but I know I need to get on it. Her birthday is Saturday. Ahhhh!!!!!

Well, I don't have much to share. But I need to sign off about now, and start homework. Joy, right? I'll try to keep up with my blog more often, but hey, I said that before, huh? I'll see if I try any harder. Ha.

Have a good week!!! :)
