the new days.

my thanksgiving was snowy.
yet. stimulating.
how was yours?

and. i gave up on thirty days.
it was lame. word.

high in the sky.

thank heavens for the break. school is a drag.
today. evan and i created the chef's love web. the one in the middle. is the chef.
question #6.
Someone who has made your life worth living?
..oh. the dad. i love my dad. he makes me laugh. he can make me cry. he has the best sense of humor. not a day goes by without thanking jesus for him. he is so great. you would love him. and this is truth.

peanut butter is my best friend.

said you wouldn't leave me.

my name is miss mandi. i hate being cold. i love peanut butter. i sleep in a sleeping bag. and neil diamond's voice calms my soul.
also. i have friends.

like. jameson. he's great. he has the prettiest blue eyes. and he has the voice of an angel. he could sing me to sleep. he plays the guitar like a master. and he is really into sleeping and swimming. his hair feels best when its dirty and your fingers get tangled. his laugh makes me smile. and his family is the greatest. i will probably marry him.
there are the boys.
i love the boys. also known as the patriots. we have had some excellent times. though the boys have dwindled in the past year, we can still get together and have a riot. there is never a dull moment. as long as you have the boys and you know how to laugh.
then. i have clari. clari is a babe. we enjoy playing. and saying things like, "why don't you want me?" i make her sit in the back of the car, because she is the darkest of us all. she laughs at nearly everything. which makes others laugh also. we teach swim together, you bond over swim lessons. she is spiritual. she's on seminary council and she has a way of smashing her face up that i absolutly love. she is my dance partner. i can't dance as well, if she isn't around. boys love her. girls want to be her. she is a brilliant lady.
i also. i also have johanna.
she too has a contagious laugh. we have similar music tastes. we feed off each other. she loves fries. and she in generous. she pays for everything. she nearly kills me when we drive. she is an amazing soccer player. and she's pretty funny. we consider her a ginger. she is really loud. and she gets pretty good grades. she makes others laugh. and loves dressing up. she has a great family. she isn't picky. and she's real neat.
in a nutshell. i have great friends. and i love them lots and lots. kelsey. kelsey gave me this idea. thanks kelsey. friends are the best. i would say.

also. i went to the grocery store with the ma today. and while i was there i pretended to be sherlock holmes. i took note of all that was around me. you should have seen those aisles. packed shelf to shelf. with people shopping for the big feast. i talked to people. asking them what their holiday traditions were. people are so neat. they come up with the greatest things. i even found someone who has mexican food instead of turkey. now, that is my kind of meal. the holidays are so great. seeing those shoppers made me smile. just a little bit.

you should try orange flavored cocoa. speaking of cocoa. they make cocoa flavored ice cream. you know, "a cocoa a day keeps the chill away."

and 30 days of truth. number 5.
question. what is something you hope you never do?
answer. i never want to outlive any of the children i might have. that would be horrid. to watch a child die. and i hope to be diagnosed with depression. cause those commercials are right, depression hurts. and i am being completely serious.

don't fret. only one day of school left until the break. i reckon we can do it.
also. don't forget to thank Jesus.
xo.

later this day.

it is snowing. i was cold. i stayed in bed and skipped my church meetings. i couldn't bear the thought of leaving the warmth of the covers. but. do not fret. i attended special needs and jesus was there. he always is.
days of truth #5.
question. what is something you wish to do in your life?
answer. simply. i want to live in Jerusalem. and walk where jesus walked.

today is one of those days where you curl up by the fire. do cut art. sip cider. and watch family videos. it is one of those days where you wear a knit hat. and over sized socks. write letters to loved ones. and color in coloring books. today is one of those days to be grateful.

you know how i feel.

i have said it before, and i will surely say it again. HP and the deathly hallows. a complete success. i was quite impressed. though. i was late. and didn't have enough time to people watch. the night nearly flew. and dobby. he will forever be in my heart. he is a hero.
school the next day. was a failure. if i told you i didn't sleep through every period i would be lying. and if i told you i wasn't on edge the entire night. i would still be lying. those midnight showings can do that to you.

also.
did you catch that sunset yesterday? the most beautiful sky i have seen in awhile. i think i shed a tear or two. it was simply brilliant. the world turned pink. it was as if we were looking through bubblegum. i fell in love. with Jesus' creations. again.
also. i have some pets.
mana. it means black power. but we call her killer. she is my pooch.
and socks. it means socks. but we call her smokey. she is my kit.

thirty days #3.
question: what is something you have to forgive someone else for?
answer: let us stay nameless. but i must forgive people who drifted. those who just walked away, because of misunderstandings. those who left you hanging. by yourself. friendless. i need to let go. and move on. and forgive them. stop thinking about them. again. it is the little things.

have you ever thought about people? we are quite neat. how we interact. how we dress. how our voice sounds. how we can communicate without words. how we meet others. how we eat. people are really beautiful. Jesus did really we on that one. the leaves have been raked and hauled off. i think fall is nearly over. if the snow comes soon....

smile today. your mouth needs it's exercise.
and remember as Ferris Bueller said: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in awhile, you could miss it."

it is all you need.

well harry potter was a definite success. the cinematography was simple brilliance. i shall surely post more on this later. but. now for the truth.

#3. question. something you have to forgive yourself for.

answer. the little things. there are little things that i still beat myself up over. things from a long time ago. past things said. things that need to be let go. but. for some reason. we hold onto it. i need to stop thinking. and say, "miss mandi. no big deal. let. it. go." we'll have to wait and see when it happens.

also. snow is looking pretty good. as in the college.

den of thieves.

we dissected a sheep kidney. or a pig kidney. haven't really figured out what it truly was. but. it was truly amazing. so cool. thought. i would show you a picture. three cheers for dissection.

also. today. is the day we tell the truth. of number two.
question. what is something you love about yourself.
answer. oh. i love the word love. i reckon. i would say. my sense of style. i love how i dress. and how i have the ability to look different. you know. not insane. but not the same. that's how i would describe my style. i think.

and. the weather today was wonderful. it was so peaceful. a slight breeze. leaves. grass. great day to be alive. the sky was a happy one today. thank you sky. for being happy.
don't forget to pray.

and in who's arms.

i found this thing. it is called 30 days of truth. and i am going to do it. so. i must start today. and together we will learn a little bit more about me. here we go.

day #1.
today's question. what is something you hate about yourself?
ew. i am not a fan of the word hate. but. i reckon i would have to say this. i hate how i simply just don't understand math. it drives me nearly batty. i wish that i could look at a set of numbers and letters. and understand what it all meant. instead of being stuck in a math class four years behind. it is not a good thing. if i could understand, i think my life would be complete.

also.
robert frost is brilliant.
