what happens when you are grown up?

ah, this week. my, oh my.

let us see... my stomach issues continued. i went to the doctor, that was a dandy/ LoVeLy time. she gave me drugs that pretty much cleaned me up... so as of right now, i am good. it's a new feeling, not being sick all of the time. haha.

well, as some of you all might know... i got a CAR for my birthday (right before i left for mexico). my parents were looking into some different types and such, so when i got home from mexico, we could go get one. we went to a dealership on monday (i think) and the guys were so so slimy. that's the only word i can think of that properly describes these used-car salesmen. oh yes, slimy and the opposite of classy. too bad i read through their ways... well, on wednesday... i got a car (from a different dealership might i add!). it is the most amazing car ever. it's a 2007 honda crv and it's pretty much true love. haha. so i haven't really separated from it... at all. i know, i'm pretty cool like that.

what else, what else...

oh yes, so as you know friday was the fourth of july! how i love the fourth of july!!! being away in mexico made me so much more patriotic as well. we (my family and i) went to the modesto parade in the morning... 

and then i read new moon (the second book about my new love, edward) for about 3 hours. it was amazing. and then i made a movie about mexico. it's all of my video footage cut down into about 7 minutes. it was kinda hard to do, and i'm pretty proud of myself. i know that's not really a good thing to feel, but it's true. and i admit it. haha. after that, we went over to mallory's house for our traditional court bbq. i caught up with mal, that was fun! after the bbq we went to the modesto nuts baseball game. not gonna lie, didn't pay attention. i mostly just watch people making fools of themselves. it's entertaining to me. i know, also wrong... but, what can you do? people say that the game was good. so that's nice. after the game, there was the typical flag burning ceremony. i'm not really a fan because it takes so long for it to get over. but that's not the point. my point is that these CRAZY people were screaming at each other during the ceremony, even the prayer! it was ridiculous! the police took them out, and then people clapped. i thought it was the icing on the cake for my people-watching adventure. after the crazies got escorted out, the fireworks started! it was fun... typical fourth of july! after we got home, mckay came over and then we went to boomers to harass joanna. we were successful. poor dear. and then mckay showed me some funny youtube videos. i think that was pretty much my fourth of july in a nutshell.
saturday... what a day, eh? i got my hair cut and dyed. it's way short, and i really like it! i was pretty scared cutting all that hair off... and getting rid of my foolish hippie blonde hair... but i feel that i look a little bit more grown up. 

after, i cleaned my room for a bit and read. then jo and i went to target. it was fun. how i love that girl. later that night, jo, mckay, and i hung out... had some deep talk and ate some fun dip. it was... fun. =)

now i am at my grandma's house! and you know what? i drove here all by myself. i have never driven that far in my life... it wasn't as bad as people say. so this is why i do not have pictures- i am using my ima's computer. so when i get back to good ol' modesto, i'll load them up for you guys!!!

con amor,
