I love God, and we cant praise him enough for what we have. We act materialistic sometimes, because we have so much money (courtesy of God), but he didnt want to make it a bad thing. Thats why sometimes we have to praise him for the little things in life :)

What's in Your Purse?

Check out a video my friends and I made! Enjoy!

Duct Tape and its Amazing Abilities

Who knew that duct tape could be used for so many different things. I just learned how to make bow hairclips out of colored duct tape. Then theres the usual: wallets, bags, etc... But who knew you could make a prom dress out of it? Stuck at Prom is where you and your date make your tux and dress completely out of duct tape! Amazing, huh? The 2008 winners are pictured below. I think when I'm in High School I'M going to make my dress out of duct tape. I would definitley stand out, but not in a good way.....

Kenny

Hello friends. I took a trip to Yosemite over Spring break, and my close ally, Rachel, and I made nightly trips to the gift shop around 8:00. Every night the same guy was working there, and his name happened to be Kenny. Every time we went there we would pester him with stupid questions. The first night, my Dad gave me a card to pay with which charged his room bill. When I went to buy a cards and I signed the reciept I asked, "Do I keep this or give it back to you?", and he said, "Uhhhh I need that back." Rachel cracked up, but me being me, I had no idea what was going on, because truly, I didnt know what to do with the reciept. The next night, my friend and I bought cute backpacks that were really bears!! We went up to the checkout counter to buy the backpacks and whaddya know, Kenny was there. His greeting: OH, its you girls again. and we saw Kenny had a coloring picture next to him. We asked "Oh, Kenny, is that yours?" He said it was and that he had trouble coloring inside the lines. We both agreed. Rachel and I both agreed. That was the last we saw Kenny, and in honor of him, I named my bear backpack after him :)

It Breaks My Heart

In Tracy, CA a girl named Sandra Cantu (pictured left) was reported missing on MArch 26th from a friends house. She had been talking about running away on the phone earlier, so they searched a local river near her house for a few weeks. Just a few days ago, a farmer was draining his irrigation system and saw a black suitcase come up as he drained it. He called the police. When they opened the suitcase, Sandra Cantu was found inside. Dead. And, she was only eight years old. They arent sure if she was dead and THEN put into the suitcase, or if they put her in alive. Either way, it breaks my heart to hear this, and keep her in your prayers.

Fitness in Science: Deathly or Demanding

A few days ago a close friend of mine was almost killed in the midst of fitness testing in health class. Better yet, we had a horrible substitute. Lets go into detail: At the beginning of class we first write down our homework, and we checked to see if we had any over spring break. Our sub, Mrs. Hinkie, says "You do! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" OMG it was the scariest laugh ive ever heard!!! Then, we started to do our fitness testing stations. I, leaving my lab at home, decided to help my close comrade, Shelby, during this lab. We first went to a station where you have to step up and down on a plastic step for two minutes and then record your pulse. There is one hard grippy side down the middle and on the two edges there are smooth plastic pieces. There were two people on the step, one my friend Shelby, and another girl named Megan. Shelby was moving around the side of the step and all of a sudden she slid backwards on the plastic part and twisted her ankle. the sub said in a non-caring voice, "I'll get you a wheelchair." MY friend quickly said no and that she could walk to the nurse because it was nearby. MY sub refused and really didnt even care that she was hurt. How mean!

RUMOR!

Oh my gosh breaking news! Again, for all you die-hard Jon and Kate Plus 8 fans like me, you will be very happy to know that JON DID NOT CHEAT ON KATE. It was all a big rumor. If you watched the finale monday night, he explained that he was at his mothers house helping her because she had a broken foot. Wow. All that stupid commotion for nothing? I wont read STAR magazine again, because it had a full article on this! How can you make up 3 pages worth of lies? Beats me. Anyways, sorry for the scare, and I hope nothing like this happens again!

How Ellen put the "Star" in Starbucks

Who doesnt love Ellen? Freaks! Anyways, Ellen never fails to get a laugh out of every person who watches her show, and I swear, this clip cracked me up! I mean, whose sister gives birth in their head? Anywho, this video is hilariously funny, and you have to watch it because laughing is good for your health!

TRAGIC, TRAGIC STORY!

For all of you die-hard Jon and Kate Plus 8 fans, you will be heartbroken after you hear this story. I almost cried! :( Anyways, I was having a fine conversation with my friend, Victoria, and she asked me: You watch Jon and Kate Plus 8, right? My reply: Of course! Then she spills the beans: Jon, was, yes, CHEATING, on Kate! Supposedly, he has been living with his mother since february, and was seen at a frat party and a bar with college aged girls! It disgusts me! There is also a clip of them from the season finale saying theyre going through some "odd times" and its "very difficult" The clip is attached, and please, I pray to God, dont let them get divorced!!!!

Salt (call it sodium if you want to sound smart!)

A few days ago, my science teacher asked a simple question: Whenever you eat out a lot on vacation, do your fingers ever start to swell because of all the salt they put on their food? My response: But wait, dont you eat food with a fork? I was flabbergasted, because everyone started to laugh, including my teacher! Fighting over another laugh, my teacher says: After you DIGEST the food, then it goes to your fingers! She kindly told me later that she had shared my comment with other teachers at lunch. How embarrasing! Now you know: Never trust you're science teacher! (and never answer a question if you dont know what it means!)

I Heart Spongebob

I'm guessing all of you have heard of the superbowl (at least I hope so!), but anyways, this video of spongebob is of him singing at the "bubble bowl" which I am guessing is like an underwater superbowl. But anyways its really funny, so check it out!!

Hot Dogs: How Did They Get Their Name?

Some people argue on the subject of the naming of hot dogs, and I havent even found a straightforward story about this topic either. Some say the name "hot dogs" was to make fun of the Germans. Germans supposedly brought hot dogs over from Germany, and they also brought the dachsund to America as well. People called this food a "hot dog" because it looked like the long body of a dachsund, and it was served hot. I personally think the name of this food is an insult to all dogs around the world, because none of them would ever want to be eaten! Imagine, sitting in front of you at dinner, a poor little maltese dog! How sad! Should the name be changed to hot meat? Or even, hot cat, for those who dont like cats? Why couldn't a hot dog look like a cat's tail? Nonetheless, even if these delicacies we call hot dogs arent even dogs, did you know Koreans eat actual dogs? Now that is just horrible! I vote on a name change of the hot dog!

Pink Sand Dollars

Could anyone ever really find a pink sand dollar? Well in Pulau Sekudu (wherever that is) there were two of them seen in the same visit! How could this really have happened? Could someone have taken the sand dollar and put back into the ocean after making color changes to it? Whatever happened, pink sand dollars are still totally awesome! I mean, I personally love the color hot pink, and I also love looking for sand dollars on the beach. What a great combonation of the two. These sand dollars are super uncommon, so I can't believe someone actually found them. I actually didnt even name my blog purplosly after these sand dollars. I just typed them into Google and I found the article. How weird! anyways, keep checking back for more awesome facts, haha :)
