Day 11 - Something Unusual

Mrs. Tammie. I mean whats not unusual about a lady with lemon hair, who is a coupon aholic,and spends most of her time hanging out with teenagers!?( She doesn't really have lemon hair we just say that to make her mad!)

Yes Mrs. Tammie is unusual... But In the Best Way Ever! Not only because she goes to CVS with her coupons and comes back with tons of free make-up and shampoo and then lets me have what ever I like from her pile of treasures. And not just because it's my goal to make it to all 50 states and she has taken me to lot of states I have never been to before.

And notjust because she hangs out with a bunch of teenagers all the time taking them to do really fun things like Ice skating.

And zip lining

And 24 hours of Black Friday shopping

And tubing down a river.

But also because she prays for me. Encourages me. Motivates me to memorize scripture. She is always giving. Whether it's her time, or advice or furniture or cookies and pie or stuff she got couponing or sparkling things. She loves me and And I love her! And she gave birth to one of my best friends!!!

And these are some of the reasons why Mrs. Tammie is unusual... In The Best Way Ever!!!

Day 10 - The Weather

The Weather Currently Is Per-fect!!! Go watch this video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_v9MY_FMcw (You are going to have to copy and paste that link because I have not figured out how to make it fancy where you can just click on it and get there.) You can just start at 1:30 and watch it till 1:54 if you don't want to watch the whole thing. That's how you need to say Per-fect.

Health ( Disclaimer- I have nothing to prove I know anything about health. This is just tid-bits I have picked up from people, books and internet here and there.)

The more Alkaline your body is the healthier you are. The more acidic your body the more un-healthy you are. So the more Alkaline foods you eat the more alkaline your body will be. Here is a list of Alkaline foods. Eat these and live! And a list of Acidic foods. Eat them and slowly but surely destroy your body.

Day 9- Your Favorite Thing To Do Right Now

(Racks Brain) What have I been doing lately?! Well every time I get home from work or any where else I immediately open my computer, go to Pandora and put it on "Put Your Records On" Radio Which might be the best station EVER! It plays other artists like Ingrid Michaelson, Maroon 5, Colby Caillat, Jason Mraz,John Mayer, Plain White T's and Corrine Bailey Rae(Who actually sings Put Your Records On) Also I have been making jewelry a lot lately in preparation for some Christmas Laura Kaye Collection's jewelry shows. Speaking of which if you are interested in having a jewelry party just let me know! (There is free jewelry in it for you!) Here is a little sneak peek of a few things I have made.

Being spontaneous and doing fun things I have done a lot lately with my besties Rebeca and Mary.

Like Friday night we were at Mary's house and she said "Yall lets get dressed up and go downtown Columbia!" So we did... We thought we were all cool walking down town on a Friday night... till we found our selves giggling in the back corner of a yogurt shop. Then we were like "Oh yeah we are so cool and grown up siting here in the back corner eating our yogurt!" Whatever, we had fun! =D

Day 8 - 5 Things from your bucket list

I have a good many things on my bucket list. Here are 5 things that I have actually completed on my bucket list. 1. See an African Sunset.

All the Sistas

Day 7 - Siblings

I have 6 Siblings which makes us a total of 7.(Funny that this Days post is number 7) So It has taken me a long time to sit down and write this post because Its about my siblings and there is just so much to say about your siblings so many paths you could take.I mean they are the only people that really truly know who you are. The only people who can understand where you are coming from, because they come from there too. They are the ones who know all your crap and know how mean you can be and still love you to death any way. They are the only ones you can talk about your parents with whether its good/bad/funny, because they are the only ones who will get it. The most critical of you and your rivals but also your closest confidants and best friends. These are my siblings let me tell you a little about each one. John David Is my oldest sibling. My big brother. He is 21. And the easiest of all my siblings to get along with. Probably because he is laid back. Doesn't pick a fight and in general just does his own thing. (and probably because he is the only sibling who has been out of the home for 4 years at college. Funny how easy it is to get along with someone whom you don't have to deal with every day.) John David has always been really smart. We were all homeschooled. And some how all school just came easily to him. Like Algebra. He didn't even need mom to explain it to him. He just got it. Im not at all bitter about that... I must say though, it is nice to have some one who can do what ever I need done on the computer for me. Because Im not very tech savvy. This is a picture of John David with his girl friend Liz. Some day hopefully in the near future he is going to propose and they are going to get married. Im excited to have this 7th sibling added to the family! =D

Im next in the line up. Im 19. but since Im not my sibling we are skipping me. Chapman is next. He is my little, big brother. He will be turning 18 in 21 days on November 8th. (My little boy is all grown up.) ;) Chapman has the ability to make me laugh really hard and get angrier than ever all at once. Unlike John David. Chapman can be very hard to get along with. He likes to pick a fight. Yet I love hanging out with him because he is hilarious. Chapman is a welder and a hard worker and the comedian of the family. He loves to eat and he's a jerk(I say that laughing because he isn't really a jerk he just isn't gentle. But really he is a super nice guy!) And he loves Jesus so he's on the right track. He will go far in life. He likes to meet as many people as he can all around this town we have lived in our whole lives, because he believes connections are important. Here he is with his girl friend Bailey.

Hannah is 16. Shes pretty hot. Shes super smart.(Like John David) She is the sweetest, kindest person you could ever meet. She loves kids, life guarding and teaching kids to swim or play piano or whatever. She is really one of my best friends. She is the first to tell me I look good. I love her for that! I tell her how I feel and she is sympathetic or rolls her eyes and tells me Im being ridiculous. She looks better in all my clothes than I do. And I hate her for it. She has great legs! And cool mermaid hair! And sometimes all the time has blonde moments.

Sarah Jane is 14. Sassy, opinionated, photogenic, an artist who creates beautiful paintings and drawings! I can come home with THIS GREAT IDEA of a painting that I want her to make for me and I will try to explain it to her and she looks at me like I have 3 heads but then kindly attempts to paint or draw whatever I just tried to describe to her! She enjoys ballet and classical music and giving art lessons to a little girl down the street. She is fun to laugh about things with!

Abby is 11. She is the sister that I share a room with. We are as different from each other as turquoise is from magenta! She likes to act like she is annoyed with me and doesn't like to share a room with me. But really she loves me and hates it when Im not home at night to go to bed. She is not a girly-girl. I am. So when I decorate our room with pink and sparkles, she says, "When you move out Im making it a horse room." She loves riding horses. She takes lessons.She says that one day she wants to be in the Olympics! Im all for it! She refuses to wear anything girly. Like pink or sparkles (I don't get that) Or frilly things or dresses or skirts. She likes comfort over cute!(I don't get that either) Oh well. She is funny and makes funny faces and doesn't like to go away from home too much unless it has to do with horses. And she is forever begging me to braid her hair and clean our room(since it's usually my mess.) And she always tries to tickle me because she knows it's torture! Im very ticklish!

And finally Mary Alice. She is 9. Full of personality. She also seems to have the smarty pants genes that John David and Hannah have. Mary Alice likes to do anything and everything her sisters are doing! She plays piano and rides horses and writes stories and likes crafts and reading and puting together big puzzles and if any of us are knitting or making jewelry or working out or whatever she has to do it too! She also wants to be like her big sisters who wear makeup and bras and shave and do our hair and my favorite wear pink and sparkles!!! She's really pretty cute! =)
