Burning Barbie OR Sweet 16 Part 2

Before we begin, I want you to know, I never meant to harm Barbie, It was just a misfortune...
The day began well, I got up and we had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast! I had dressed up since I was supposed to go to lunch with my grandmother and wore a cute new shirt with capri's and new shoes. After breakfast we noted a purple spot on the carpet from where I had spilled my shampoo (accidentally) and spent over an hour trying to scub it out of the carpet... when my grandma came,We went to Super Salad and Barns and Noble.
That night, I had a party with my cousins, aunts and my lovely(but anoying) sister and mother. We had a Barbie cake that caused lots of problems...
A) it was naked. B) the candles were too close to her and we burnt her arms and hair... but I don't feel too bad for Barbie. She is too perfect!

And then we watched the Little Mermaid two. The end.

Gone "Camping"

The family trip took us to Idaho for a week... The first day was spent driving (5 hours) and then setting up camp. My grandma had gotten the family several cabins so me and my other (girl) cousins all stayed in one cabin with one of my Aunts and Uncles. There where 4 of us(including me)in the loft area, two on a pull-out bed downstairs and my Aunt and Uncle in a private room. It was nice, I shared a bed with one of my favorite cousins and the other two cousins were family I had (sadly)never met. As I travel and move quite a bit during the years of my life, sometimes I miss out on seeing family and meeting new members. It comes with being me. A Gypsy. More specifically, a shy-LDS Gypsy. Sometimes I don't know where to call home!

Anyway-back to my post...
The second day, we went rafting and tubing down the river in the morning and I spent the afternoon taking a 4 hour nap and a shower. I should probably mention that I fell off of the raft... and my brother steped into a giant whole, and my sister nearly drowned, my unlce lost s paddle, and going back to get it lost a shoe and We had to help quite a few of my cousins (and brother) get out of tangles while they were tubing. It was quite an adventure! It took us a grand total of 4 hours to go down the river.
That night, we went and saw "Home School Musical" it was a good show, it made fun of High School Musical, Napolian Dynamite, Homeschooling, Mormons, BYU (Cougars) and Twilite. It included characters such as
"Lanolium Dynamite"
"Amanda Hugandkiss"
"Zac Tefelon"
It was an amazing show! They did such a great job! At one point they chose my Uncle to be part of the show and we will never let him forget it!
At halftime, they asked people if there were any upcoming birthdays and my family singled me out since I was turing 16 and the man/lady asked me my name and I told her, and she said"Darcie, spelled D-A-R-C-Y?"
I respnded saying: "No, I-E"
She/he sayed: "Don't you correct me young lady!"
It was really funny, I was sang to along with 6 or 7 others and was given a clown nose. My cousin recieved a make-up brush, and one kid got a lysol can lid! It was my favorite night there!

The next few days were spent in Yellowstone and seeing wildlife, It too was fun!

All in all, although not really camping, it was fun... except the bed, because I think mine had bed-bugs in it!

Special

I feel really uncomfortable with myself because of the way I look... I am overweight and don't feel very pretty, but a few things have happened in the last few days that have made me feel special. The first was when I was babysitting A and E and I asked E if his sister A was pretty and he replied saying:ya..... YOUR PRETTY! It made me smile all day. Then,today I received highlights for our family photos and it made me feel better about it then I had felt shopping for clothing. We saw my uncle and the way he treats me makes me feel just amazing...
I don't usually get that feeling so I was extremely happy about it.

Today we spent the day at the mall, on impulse I decided I wanted highlights and they turned, out really well. We ate lunch there and then I did some shoe shopping and got a new pair of shoes. A girl can never have too many shoes. The family Picts were really fun, we met up with my aunt and uncle and cousins after for dinner at the olive garden... Best place on earth ( and ruby Tuesday's!)and had fun sittin by my uncle.

this section is called: Vinegar, OR Sweet 16 part 1.

I realize I have alreadytat that was because of Sunday, and if you are not aware, it is currently Monday.
My day started out normal… I got up and got dressed, pulled my hair into a messy pony tail and went down stairs to have a piece of pizza.

I smell like Vinegar and Windex...still. That is, after I took a shower and scrubbed my skin until it hurt... o.O Mom fell into the bathtub and is now slightly injured on her left side :/ I think this is a valuable lesson, Cleaning is gross and dangerous even if its for a good reason.

Around 2pm, we realized we were starved and (after showering) we went out to eat. We also did some shopping and I got a shirt for family pictures this week! We got home and I started scrubbing the blinds in the bathroom and working on the laundry room mess and packing to go to Utah(we leave on Wednesday) for the rest of July. As I was packing (trying to fit in 4-5 pairs of shoes) Sarah came and surprised me! She put on fun bead necklaces and placed a small tiara on my head. I honestly didn't know what to think! We had a lot of fun! We got to the drive in (we saw Zoo Keeper. It was really cheesy and fun and really cute!)
a bit early though, but luckily they play good music and have swings! She also baked me a cake. The bottom layer was chocolate and the top confetti! It was a Betty Crocker cake. As my friend would say:Betty Crocker is a Goddess!


I had a wonderful day, other then smelling like vinegar...

Night!

Oh, Don't eat the Onion Rings and Ketchup flavored Doritos. They are gross!
