Remember love, remember unity.

Hey all. Sorry it's been so long. \: So, what's happened since last time i was on here? Well, for starters, this entire site changed! Like, i cannot even find my way around. *confusion* Other than that, I went to Florida for 2 weeks in February with my awesome family. It was amazing. I totally got tan lines & made my friends jealous (; No, but in all serious-ness, it was so nice & refreshing & i highly enjoyed it. When we got back, we had about a million things to go to & it seemed like we were never home, and like i never got to see my friends, which wasn't super awesome, but going places is always fun. -- Indiana, Ohio, southern Michigan, and finally, a couple weeks ago, we got to stay home & have been home since. Haha (: I finished school for the summer exactly a week ago, and so this was my first week school-less for the summer! (: It's been SUPER lazy, and I've quite enjoyed it. But starting Monday, i have Drivers Ed at 8 AM for a few weeks. AHH!! I'm more than a little terrified. For some odd reason, i have an irrational fear of driving. But i'm working on it, cause in exactly 3 days, I AM doing it. -_- I am excited to be able to drive places, for sure. Other than that, I've been working a day a week, sometimes two days for my sister, babysitting my nieces. (: They're adorable, and most of the time easy to handle. (: Other than babysitting, freaking out about drivers ed & sleeping in, I've been doing laundry & cleaning & watching Fairly Legal. Don't say it, my life is awesome. I know. (: I'm going to Indiana next weekend for a wedding reception, so that should be fun. I'll be 16 in six months. Which is.. Just.. Kinda crazy. like. wow. :P Anyway, here's something kinda depressing i want to throw at you, by the time i have my license & pay for gas, one pay check for an entire month (based on what i'm making right now) would pay for gas for 2 weeks. See? Told you it was depressing. I think part of the reason it's been so long since I've been on here (and i know i'm skipping around with my topics, so bear with me here.) is because i signed up for Pinterest. *shame* I honestly don't know how i can possibly spend as much time as i do on that stupid site, but trust me. I do. I'm going to show you a little sneak peek of my thought process while scrolling down Pinterest's news feed. "That. Is an adorable kitten." *repin* "That looks delicious. I must try that." *repins. Never tries* "Haha, i could never be that creative." "Aww, i want to be that creative \:" *yawn* "How long have i been on here? This is ridiculous, I must get-- OREO COOKIES?! YUM. Heaven!!" *repin* "Giggle. That is so me." *type witty caption, repin* *See more pins* "Sigh." Seriously. PINTEREST IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF MY SOCIAL LIFE. Oh well, that is a burden i am willing to bear for Oreo Cookies. (; Contacts. You know how the eye Doctor tells you that after a few months, you'll have plenty of practice putting in your contacts? Liar. It still takes me like 5 tries to get that stupid thing in my eye. I'm still stabbing myself in the eye, using eye drops like they're going out of style, and taking an entire minute to get it in. And when i finally do, my eyes are all bloodshot & watery, and i'm like "Oh, people are going to think i wake up crying every morning." And then i remember that i have no life during the week & only see my family so it's all good. No, but honestly, i do love having contacts, they're so nice, it's just that some days are worse than others. Like those days when you finally get them in & it feels like there's a freakin' pebble lodged somewhere in there. \: The most exciting thing?! I get to wear sun glasses now! Yay! It's made my life so much better. (: So, now that I've wasted a couple minutes of your life, i will wrap it up & say goodbye. Till next time, which knowing me will be a couple months to a year. :P Have a great weekend, everyone. With love, i'm outa here (: xoxx** Mandi Ann
