The End is Near....

Well....looks like Summer is almost over. It's hard to believe, but I AM starting to feel ready for Autumn...pretty leaves and delicious smelling candles :)
This year was good to me. I did and learned a lot. Here's my "STL" (Summer "things" list):

1.) I turned 16 ;)
2.) I went to the pool 4 times total (which is a record for me)
3.) I discovered the 2007-2008 Robin Hood series (which by the way, Charlee...I DID finish! The last ones popped up on instant Netflix again!!!)
4.) I watched seasons 1 and 2 of the 2009 Merlin (I'm working on season 3)
5.) I applied for a job
6.) I received my first nephew!!!
7.) My Pap died... :(
8.) I met my "cousin-in-law"...(if that's such a thing...but you get my meaning)
9.) I saw "Cars" 2 (which was AWESOME)
10.) I finished 2 and 1/2 thirds of my book that I'm writing (its going to be a series and book 1 is almost done!)
11.) I wore eyeliner for the first time (and discovered that I love it :)
12.) I hiphop danced with Jacob (we tore up the floor! lol!)

17.) I walked 1 mile every day
18.) I painted my first "Impressionist", "Cubist", and "Pointillist" paintings
19.) I stayed up till 2 or 3 Am one night watching TV (and eating crabs...which was totally awesome!)

23.) I found 5 girl movie characters that I actually favor
24.) I learned that drinking coffee at 11pm isn't so smart
23.) I only received 7 ticks total (which isn't that much at all, and only 1 of the 7 was actually embedded in my skin. Still sick though, I know)
24.) I got new bedroom carpets
25.) I learned to Rip-Stick
26.) I learned that if you push someone into a swimming-pool...they will get back OUT and seek their revenge
27.) I tried on my first ball gown! (I'm sure most of you saw the pics in that one post a did a while back)
28.) I grew my hair 4-5 inches past my shoulders....and then cut it again because I couldn't stand it


I did SOOOO much more but that would take forever to write down.
Now all I have to do is get my drivers licence and I'll be good....right, Mom? "Hint-Hint"...LOL ~ xo
