Busy Day #7 - Messy Room Now Clean

Finally! Finally my room is CLEAN! So here are the after pictures. I actually may have gone a little over the top. I posted pictures of like every inch of my room. Some things like decorations and things I wanted to show you, and then I just kinda didn't want to leave any part out... so here it all is.

This in on my dresser. I put some new pictures in my frames, and tried to hide my bathroom stuff behind my decorations.
Same thing here. I now have a nice spot to keep my body spray and deodorant.

This is my book shelf slash TV area. I have my scrapbooks on one side and then more storage on the other. I have books, some decorations, my Francesca Battistelli CD, and some other things.

Here is the top of my other dresser. I have some pictures, a little jewelry box, and a room freshener. I thought this little section was really cute.

Here is my green shelf, I just switched the pictures out, and rearranged.

This is my little nook, with my chair, doll house, cool lamp, and the dresser.

I wanted to show you my bulletin board also. I have pictures of me and my friends, my basketball number, a picture that Sydney drew me, some bible verses, a true love waits sheet, and some bead things.

This section of my bulletin board has some pictures that Leona drew me, one of a camel, and one of my name. Then there is a no bake cookie recipe, a sewing thing, and my paper clip collection.

On this part I have a booklet of bible verses, a picture that Leona colored for me, a valentine from Bree, a picture of me, beads, a ticket from a college basketball game I went to, wrist bands from baseball tournaments, numbers of baseball players that hit home runs, and the rest of my paper clip collection.

Here is the top of my desk, I put new pictures under the glass. I tried to get all of my friends and cousins in. I have pictures from track, the super bowl party, mom's birthday, basketball 2 years ago, this fall, and three summers ago. Also here is my cool pen collection, sometime I will have to do a post and show you all of my awesome pens. I also have this cute little basket thing that holds my note pads, blank Cd's, and other things.

Here is my section of my desk that I saved and put pictures and poems, and things that my friends gave me. The one with the animals is from Leona, the Rachel acrostic is from Bree, and the 10 picture is from Bethany. The other little picture is from Leona too.

This picture frame I got for my birthday, and I was kinda upset because I didn't have any pictures to put in there. But while I was cleaning I found a few pictures that I had developed of me and Bud that were really cute. So I decided to put this one in the frame. I LOVE it. He is so cute and it sits right on my desk where I can see him all the time.

I also put together this little board that goes behind my computer. I liked it because I could put up more pictures and things. I have one of me and Bud that is SO cute, one of me and Bethany, one of Dad and Alex, a gift certificate, a picture of me and cat, and one of me and Bree.

This is my little set up. I love how small my computer is, it leaves room for all this stuff and had only 1 cord. Way more attractive.

This is the printer, my Cd's, and my calender. I have all of my practices and things written down here.

This is my desk from a distance. I moved some things from the top of my desk. I have my purple chair, and my pink butterfly trash can. I like both of them. See... with out that computer tower it is so much more open.

I couldn't get rid of my pallet on the floor. I moved it more to one side, and cleaned things up a bit. I just like the position and feeling of it. So I think I will leave it for a little longer.

This is me this after noon after a long day of cleaning and riding four wheelers.

In my closet I did a lot of work, starting with the top, I de-junked the top. I threw out all the junk that I shove up there.

Here I didn't do too much, just picked up things and hung them in their proper place.

Here I got all of my shoes under control. Now they aren't all over the room. I have then nicer ones in the top green bin, and the not so nice ones on the bottom of the pink rack. The top of the rack has tennis shoes only. Then the bottom green bin has bags, purses, and things like that. I now have all of my clothes hung up.

This is my doll house. Not much to say... just that I dusted them and re-aligned them.

Here is the top.

My night stand... I have a box of pink tissues on bottom, a couple notebooks, and a photo album on the second section along with a picture of me and Courtney McCool. She was a gymnast that was in the Olympics. I got to go and see her speak.

Here I have my purse lamp, a clock, some Mary Kay lotion, and a picture of me.

This is my bed. The real bed that I never use. I am hopefully get back in the habit of using it again soon. But for now the floor is fine. I just like it down there. I hope that you feel better knowing my room is clean.

Here is how the rest of my day went. As I was cleaning I took a lot of breaks. I guess you knew that seeings how it took me... what 4 days to finish. I have little bit of A.D.D. So I rode my four wheeler today, I got Bud out and he played quite a bit. Then I went to youth and we went to church. Then after that we came home and got ready to go to the pool. I really wanted to get in but it was so cold that I couldn't make myself. So I just sat and watched. I wish I would have now, but it's okay. So I hope you have a nice night!! I'm exhausted!! :) Rach

Busy Day #6

Today actually hasn't been busy. I got to sleep in a little later than usual, but had to get up at around 8 so I could get ready and be at basketball camp by 9. It was pretty good, we got to do a little more of actual playing. Then after camp mom picked me up and we came home. She mowed part of the yard, and I've been working on my room. It still is not done, but I'm actually getting some work done. If I would get off of the computer then I could get more done. But with my own laptop, right here, ya know it's so hard not to blog. I actually have been listening to some music, and It was getting boring so I stoppted to change it, and some how I'm now blogging. But I've gotten a lot done today... I think. I moved the old dumpy computer out of my desk and put my new stylish Red laptop in its place. I changed out the pictures on my desk, and since I don't have that huge monitor I have tons of space for more decorations and things on my desk. I've also done alot of dusting. I did all of the nooks and crannys in my room, did a little in Alex's and even did a little in the bathroom. So I'm not totally wasting time. But you know how it is... I was dusting the book shelf, and knocked over on of my little decorations and it broke. So I had to stop and got try and fix it. Then I went and helped dad wash Bud. It was actually really fun. Except for when he shook and got wet dog all over me. We took some shampoo and really got him clean. I would have taken a picture but I couldn't. He is shedding all of him winter fur and getting ready for the really hot summer days. I don't know how many ticks we saw and picked off of him today. They were everywhere, on his legs, back, side, belly, neck. Poor guy....got tons of little nasty things sucking his blood. After we finished washing him up. Which by the way he looks so much whiter and not brown. After we finsihed washing him up, we went over to Chad and Christy's to see if they would like to come over for dinner. Which they are. So I have been trying to get things looking 1/2 way decent. I at least have all of my clothes hung up, and the things that need to be put in the closet in nice piles. The desk was a really big thing though. I will need to vaccum still, and maybe clean my mirror. But just some minor things that I will be able to do tomorrow. So If I don't post again tonight.... good night!!

Basketball!

So I finally changed my blog, and I think it looks pretty good!

So today North Carolina is playing!! We are very excited, and I'm really hoping they win because I picked them to go ALL the way! They are playing LSU. Guess who has guessed the most games correct so far, GRANDMA RIE!! She has 26 right from the first round, and me and Kay both had 25, next is Mom and Alex with 23 right. The second round games might hurt me a lot though.

This morning I woke up at around 9:30 and got ready for track practice at 11:30. So I went and we warmed up, then ran a mile. It wasn't timed though, so we were able to go as fast or slow as we wanted. After that we got to get our uniforms, finding a small in the jerseys and shorts wasn't too bad, but getting a small in the hoodies was tricky. I went through all of the boxes and FINALLY found one. I heard that our team shirts were really cool, I'm excited to get them. Now I am at Kay's house again, we are watching some more BASKETBALL! Now we are watching UCLA and Villanova, and Villinova is winning. Later I'll show some of the NC game.

Shopping and More Fun Stuff

Look at us having a wonderful lunch of plastic, at our picnic table that was sitting on a platform.
We were the craziest girls in the store!

Hey! Today, Monday was wonderful, now that I have you caught up to today, I'm going to see how far I can get in this post of today before we have to leave.I'm in desperate need of a shower, and would love to just sit and read my book Princess in Love. But, No I have to blog. The bad thing is that I am going to skip today, giving you a fair warning, and just tell you about yesterday. You don't even want to know about today, it was SO boring anyway. But I did want to know if you liked how I changed my background, I'm not quite sure yet. So this morning I woke up bright and early to go shopping with Mom. I had some biscuits and gravy, left over from the banquet, and then slept all the way up to Springfield. We went several places and I had a really good time. There isn't much to say. I'll just show you the pictures. Hope you had a good presidents day whether you were out of school or not!!!!!

Demo Complete

Hey! I'm finally FINISHED! I have been working on this for an hour and thirty minutes. But finally I have got the blog to place were I love it. I like the new background, do you? Well if this doesn't work I'll fix it. I'll be changing it soon anyway, once Christmas is over I'll want something new. I also changed my pictures, put on a poll, and a little Christmas story from Luke. This morning in children's church in one of the movies we were watching they quoted that scripture, and I was thinking to myself, I should put that on my blog. So when I was working here, I decided to put it on, and I thought it turned out nicely. So enjoy looking at all of the new stuff, see ya.
