BIKE

I used to ride my bike all the time, I went everywhere on my bike. We lived on fort Bragg and so I would ride my bike all down the running trails and in the woods behind our subdivision, those where some of the funniest times that I can remember as a kid. There was a gas station that was just over the fence of the base called Scotchman's and we would go there to get candy then go home. Then when we moved to South Carolina I would ride my bike with my friends all over the neighborhoods. Most of the time I had no idea where we were at, I just followed them around. Once we found a turtle shell under a bridge and I put it in my pouch that I had on the front of my bike. I kept that thing in there for almost a year..... until it started to smell. When we moved to Germany I would ride my bike all over Buffalo park. It was full of bike trails. That was one of my favorite parts about living there in Mannheim was Buffalo park. Then when we moved to Heidelberg Germany I would walk more than I rode my bike. There were not any trails for parks. But I walked every where, mostly to the shoppette or the movie theater or the library. Then when we moved back to North Carolina I didn't ride my bike because there wasn't anywhere to ride my bike, that I thought. There were no trails, there were no places that were in walking distance. We were in a bigger city, where I was afraid that I would get run over or shot if I rode my bike anywhere. So I sold it. I didn't think much of it. Then we moved here to Jasper, Indiana and I had a car and a job. So I really didn't have the need or time to ride my bike. The riverwalk is one of my favorite places here is Jasper. So I was excited when Stephen said that we should get me a bike so that we could ride them on the riverwalk. Then last night at Wal-Mart we got me a bike. It is a pretty blue and it is totally old school. I like it a lot. I can't wait until tomorrow because it will be warm and Stephen doesn't have to work, so we are going to go ride our bikes on the river walk!

HAIR

I did get my hair cut last night. It is now at my shoulders. At first I was sad, it had taken me a long time to grow it out that long. I don't think my hair has been that long since I was in first grade. But then I fixed it all nice this morning and I like it. It looks good. I used to beg my mom to cut my hair when I was little. She has always liked me with long hair. Last night was no different, she was huffing and puffing about cutting my hair. I don't think it will ever change. This probably was the last time that she will cut my hair through. The next time I get a hair cut we might not be here, then I will have to pay someone cut it :( I have also decided that I am going to let my hair it grow out its natural color, since my mom won't help me color my hair any other color than blonde and I don't want to pay for it. When I was born it was black, then it changed to blonde, and now it has faded to brown. So I can going to keep it brown.

MOVIES

We got our taxes back today! We are putting some in savings and then some we allotted to spend on ourselves. I chose to spend my half on movies. There are so many movies that I love, but because they are BBC movies it is harder to get them. BBC movies are always at least 20 dollars and there price never goes down. So I am very excited to get all of the movies that I can't normally get because they are not on the 5 dollar shelf at Wal-Mart. My mom is going to be so jealous! She was always the one with the good romance movies.... now it will be me!! Haha she will be the one asking me to borrow my movies!

TIME

I have been sitting here for two hours with nothing to do, because once again the guys are here working on the waterline and Karen is not here. I can't watch a movie on netflix because they would see me and then, I am sure, tell Karen. So I sit here pretending to be typing something important, but really I am only typing something that no one wants to read.............. I don't know if I can keep this up much longer. I am running out of things to type.
