The Curse

So people... I have  decided that i have a curse. A curse that I will always be sick on the day that our school celebrates Valentines Day. 

ok, so, once upon a time in 2008 i got influenza that LPA was celebrating valentines day. Ya it really was not very fun. And THEN now, in 2009 I got sick the day LPA was celebrating valentines day. But thats not all. Its really ironic that i got sick because all week i was like ,"i'm not going to get sick, i will not get sick. I feel fine." And i did! It wasn't untill like 10:00 on wednesday night that I started feeling nauseous. Kay, so I get all sick and nasty all of thursday, and then, BAM! I feel totally fine now. They day after lpa celebrated. 

YA 

so I have a curse. 

Anyways. 

its been like what? 2 months since i've updated? Hmm. Lots has gone on in my life. 

well not really. 

basically the only new thing is Seussical!!! Party. I'm so excited. I'm Amayzing Mayzie,and its going to be so much fun!!! All most of my homies are in it so its going to be fantastic! :) woot woot. 

i'm pumped. 

but other than that... nothing new has gone on in my life. nothing exciting. And i don't have any money so I can't go see movies or cut  my hair or dye it or go shopping or other fun things that require money. 

stupid economy :) haha just kidding. 

BUt my i really do need a hair cut for all of those you are wondering. :) oh and i think i might dye my hair again! what do you guys think? should i go darker? lighter? lose the blond highlights? or just stay the same?

hmmm. 

it won't matter though, because i am not in possesion of $40 to do my hair **sigh**

well

ya

thats basically it. 

The new (and hopefully improved) brunette LAURA!

ME -- little blondie. 

Me -- as a burnette.. .except in this picture it looks kinda reddish ..but thats ok 

cmon you have to think that i look different? What do you think?

TAG (?)

SO I'm doing what Anna did on her blog.  like going to the fourth album and fourth photo.

haha. 

well. This picture tells alot about our personalities.. manly that we're crazy

But I think this was in january sometime and we got carried away with Photo Booth --- to say the least. We both thought we were being hilarious with having our mouth be really big or our teeth really big. 

so yeah. 

there ya have it. Anna Garret and Laura Boyer are completely insane

OH I'm such a good housewife:)

Yeah, so just in case you're wondering. I have been in a craftzy mood! (if thats even a word) I have become very...knowledgeable in the arts of sewing. 

I have made three GIANT stockings. oh they are adorable. Why, you may ask. Well, let me tell you. Because I decided that my sister Ashley needed some Christmas decorations so I was like, "hey, lets make her and her dogs --- yes her DOGS -- some stockings. So we go to Joanns and we buy adorable fabric and a pattern and all these cute things for her stockings. *oh they are so cute.* 

Dang, these took FOREVER to make. Because I embrodered all three stockings. So one says 'Ashley' one says "Fenyman" and another one says 'Riley.' :) They are so precious.

ANyways.

So I made those stockings and I finished them on monday and i was like, "hm.. I want to make more." SO I decided that I wanted to make Melissa -- my sister who is in Albania a stocking -- So my mom and I went to Jo-anns again, but then we decided not to make my sister Melissa a stocking , but PJ's instead - For christmas. cause its kinda tradition in our family to get PJ's every Christmas Eve. So, (i say 'so' alot) I made her pajama pants AND a t-shirt. Amazing right? 

Aren't I just getting so good at craftzy things? :) I mean, seriously. I've done so much this week. I've sewed/emboirdered 3 stockings, made a set of pajamas, knitted a scarf and hat! wow. Am such a nerd :) oh well, I love me :) haha

Anyways. 

CHRISTMAS TIME!

We decorated our tree today. Oh its so delightful! :) This is really the most wonderful time of the year! I love christmas shopping and wrapping presents and snow. Oh snow. Snow is so wonderful. I want to have a big snowball fight, go sledding or go skiing this winter with friends! oh I'm so excited :) 

you wanna know what else I'm excited for? 

December 3 

why? 

Because I'm performing a jazz dance at Festival of Trees on the third at 5:30. You guys should come :) Its gonna be pretty awesome. The dance is pretty cool too. It'll be exciting :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :) 

pazaaaz

Hello, 

So Anna left me a lovely comment that told me to "update your blog yo." So i come on my blog and, lo, and behold, its been like two months since I've posted something!

CRAZY!

Its almost Halloween! aH!! I'm going as a black car *MEOW* Beware, I'm going to be wearing fake nails -- these hurt when they come in contact with flesh at high speed levels.:) So basically my costume is just my black leotard and jazz pants and a black leather jacket (scandalous!) and I have these awesome furry black earmuffs so when we go trick-or-treating (yes, i'm going trick-or-treating) my ears won't be falling off! Genius! i know :) 

So basically....people should come to the "Fall Festival" Why? Well First: i'm going to be there, duh. :)  and second: the officers are doing an awesome booth thing called :Death by Doughnuts. Where you have to eat a doughnut off a string hanging from the ceiling, without using your hands. Holy cow! its hilarious to watch! When the officers were test-driving it, Erica and i were competing and it as HILARIOUS! I almost started choking on my and Third: with the money that you donate/ use to spend on tickets, that money will contribute to buying a new computer lab and 20% of the procceeds will go to the Ghananians. :) 

be a good person -- come to Fall Festival :)

This posting on my blog has been totally pointless.. so just remember Anna... this was all for you :) 

Bogala! woot woot

hiya everyone who is reading this! (go ahead, say "Hi Laura"...did you do it? ) 

anywho. 

so basically I don't know what to write about so I"ll write about my adventures of my first five days of school as a 9th grader! 

well. 

My day starts early at 5 am. I wake up to Seussical The Musical (woot woot) and then I force myself to get out of bed and in the shower so I'm ready to leave for Early Morning Seminary at 6:10. After I shower I get into my wonderful uniform (hmm...what should I wear today? blue or red? khaki or...khaki?) and then I 'beautify' myself :) a.k.a Do my hair and make - up. I then go and wake up my doggies and take them out to 'do their business' if you get my drift... ;) Then I make my lunch for the day. My lunch usually consists of a ham, cheese, mustard and mayo sandwich. But now I will have pretzels (isn't that a fun word?) WOOT WOOT. Anywho, after I make my tantalizing lunch I get my backpack, scripture bag and lunchbox ready. My pappa and I say pray and then we head off to Viewmont where I go to seminary - at 6:30!

I usually get at the seminary building at about 6:15 and am the only one in my class that is early. My teacher is Brother Allen. He's cool. I'm so happy I'm not the only person in a uniform in my seminary class!!! Heyden (I think I spelt it wrong) is in my class. and I know 3 other girls that are in that class: Ky (from LPA last year) Lauren Augustine (from LPA 2 years ago) and Lindsay Howell (from homeschooling 3 years ago....) and yeah. thats basically all the people I know in my seminary class. GO ME! 

Well after I listen in seminary we get dismissed around 7:15 and I get to wait around the seminary building while I wait for my mom to come pick me up. Which isn't until 7:30 ish. So, I get to stand in the lobby area and watch as all the Viewmont students come in for their 1st/5th period seminary. It's really funny cause I get to see all the students look at me and then take another look at me as they realize that I'm in a uniform..yeah, I feel a little dorky...whats really funny is when I know the kids who are looking at me - or my uniform. For instance, on B days I get to see Jo Phillips, Davis Wright, and Clarissa Stahle as I wait for my mom. On A days I get to see Shelby Thomas as she comes to seminary 1st period. Woot woot. :D

Finally when my mom does come ( I love you mommie!) we head out to LPA. We get to deal with all the morning traffic will listening to either: 'my 99.5" or "107.9 the mix" Purty Exciting! We finally get to LPA around 7:40 ish. Except i have to wait around in my mom's office until 8. :( then I proceed to my locker where I 'socialize' with Erica and I get my stuff and put it in my 1st period class: Geography. I then wait in the hallways with Erica for the buses to come so we can socialize with all the bus peeps. and then we wait even longer for the seminary kids. :) 

Well.. sooner than later we have to stop socializing and go to first period. LAME. But its all good cause Mr. Maloy is awesome! I then go to second period (omg! what an amazing concept!) which is honors english..wow that class is really quiet. 3rd period is Advanced Musical Theatre. wow, I love that class. Mr. Stokes is awesome. "ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra" 4th period is Algebra 2. wow, that class is confusing - and its only review! AH! i hate scientific notation! so confusing! I usually put my hair up in a high ponytail in that class haha. anywho by this time I'm like STARVING. but I have to go to 5th period which is Biology. I like biology. Its pretty good. I like my seat. I sit my David, infront of Erica and Blake. pretty much perfect, except Anna needs to be on the other side of me. after 5th i have lunch!!! yummy!!! except that lunch room is so empty cause we have 2 lunches now. weird. after lunch is latin!! woot woot. that class is fun - sometimes. i sit right next to Erica so thats fun :) 7th period is leadership. A.k.a OFFICERS! and now Dani Gehring is like our called 'SBO rep." cause she's amazing and is in that leadership class. She is so cute! i love her! anywho

that is my school day. 

then I get stuck in the library with 30+ kids trying to do my homework without talking. GR

and then I go home, do homework, go crazy whatever, then I eat dinner, read my scriptures, write in my journal, wash my face/teeth and then go sleep!!!

And talking of sleep... yeah, that sounds really good right now. I think I'm going to go to sleep! goodnight!

School

ok, Since I have been looking at all of my friends blogs I have noticed that they are all talking about the same thing: School and their schedules.

So, let me start with my schedule:

1. Geography for Life  - I am way excited for this class! Even though Anna isn't in it ( :( ) Erica and David are so it should be a blast!

2. Honors 9th English - this class only has like 4 people....lets hope the discuss..

3. Advanced Musical Theatre: this class is taught by mr. stokes. I"m SO stoked (haha, aren't i witty? ) to take this class.it'll be lots of fun. Even though I wanted to take advanced theatre.. but I couldn't cause of my math :( 

4. Algebra 2: There are only 4 other people in the class with me: Blake, Crista Killpack, Alex Tufts, and Ben Horsley. I"m nervous to take this class! What if its really hard??!!! AH!

LUNCH: I have the second lunch....who, the only person I know who has this with me is Erica . But I do now that (according to Ms. Kelly and Mrs. Fabick) that if you are in Kelly's or Maloys  or Wards fifth period class (there was one other teacher but i can't remember who) you have the first lunch. Which is totally lame, cause  I already know that Anna,Krista, and Taylor won't be in my lunch. LAME! 

5. Biology: hm... I'm excited for science this year.  I've been helping my mom at the school and I"ve talked to Mrs. Fabick while I"m working and she seems pretty cool. PLUS, she was listening to good movies (go musicals!) and so thats a good sign :) Except..Ms. Kelly has already told her [ Mrs. Fabick ] who all my friends are...and so I probably won't be sitting by any of my friends :( 

6.Latin 3: This class isn't very big. Probably 18 people I think. That is what Ms. Kelly said, BUT, she said she's going to put Erica and I in the back of the room so we can talk and she won't have to hear us :) hehe.. YES!

7. Leadership: So basically there are pretty much only officers in the class. I really hope its actually a class and not just an extension of our officer meetings...

Well yeah, Thats my schedule! yay! I'm pretty excited for school to start. I don't know how to do my hair of if I should wear shorts or pants.. hm.. big decision ;) But apart from being excited for Wednesday I'm super stoked for the Musical this year! even though  I don't know what it is...(mr. stokes won't tell me! rude!) I am still uber-excited cause yeah, I just am :) I miss performing! I can't wait untill he tells us what musical he  wants to do!!!

Anywho.. 

I'm running out of things to say. sO GoodnighT!
