Another day of...

... WORK! Oh, my gosh! Okay, so let me break it down for you! I woke up at 6:45am. Laid in bed for about 15 minutes. Got up and ate a bowl of cereal, and that took up 5-10 minutes. Brushed my teeth and washed my face... That took about 10 minutes. Got dressed for work and I was ready to go! So... By 7:30, I was out of the house and ready to sweat and show off my muscles! hahaha... Yeah, I was ready. Well, got to the work site and really just didn't wanna do anything. But I sucked it up and helped my dad build two decks. Hahaha. It was a lot of fun actually. :) I learned out to use the miter saw and I cut the wood and measured everything just right... I even used the staple gun to nail everything together. It was so fun! :) I felt powerful... The only thing I disliked about the saw was the fact that the wind kept blowing all the sawdust into my face, hair, and eyes! I hated it. haha. But other than that, I was amazing! :) Here's a picture of the beast: Basically, today was a good day! :) I worked hard and it paid off! But my poor dad! Oh, my goodness! He was putting the deck railing together and there was a knot in the wood... He wasn't thinking, or something and ended up shooting a nail through a piece of wood that connected to the wood with the knot. His thumb was resting on the knot... Guess what happened? The nail bent and went up through his thumb and hit his thumb nail! :/ It was sad and disgusting at the same time! :( Poor dad... He's fine now though. haha. He was fine five minutes after it happened... He just kept working and everything. If it were me, I'd be crying like, hardcore! Haha... Well, Victoria's making dinner: burritos! haha... I'm just wanting to crash into my bed and have good dreams. :) haha. Oh! Last night, I dyed my hair from red, back to my natural black/brown hair color. :) I don't have any pictures... yet, but I will get some up tomorrow maybe. Haha... Okay, dinner time! :) *stretch* Ow, my arms... :/ haha.

I am terrible...

with this blogging thing. I honestly haven't made time for it. :/ Jeez, I'm going to try to get better though. I actually was just talking with a friend yesterday or two days ago about vlogging. It's kinda like blogging, but with video. I think I'm much better with that because it's a lot quicker. haha... Lately, I've been working with my dad. What he does is a bunch of different types of construction. Brick work, tile work, anything to do with houses. He raises and builds and puts foundation underneath houses, especially in the flooded areas. It's hard work, takes time, and I'm so sore because of it... It kinda sounds like I'm complaining, but truthfully, I enjoy it! :) Sure, it's hard work, but it's teaching my mind to stay strong and it's teaching my body to stay strong... It's weird, but that's how I feel about it. It does take a lot of time! Oh, my gosh! But the feeling you get after accomplishing and overcoming the hard and time-consuming work, is amazing! :) It really is rewarding. And of course, while doing all this tough work, you become physically fit. :) Haha. It's nice... Hard work, but nice. I've only been working with my dad for two weeks now and I've learned quite a bit from working with him. My mind has become more aware and stronger. My body has also become harder and stronger. The way I think and go about things is smarter and wiser. It's really paying off... And speaking of "pay," I get paid. haha. It's nice... I only decided a few weeks ago to work with my dad, mainly because I'm going to college in December and I'm kinda needing MULAH! Hahaha... I'm planning on leaving December 12th! I can't believe it's before Christmas, but you gotta do what you gotta do. This will be my first Christmas away from home. :( But that's okay. :) Haha. Thank goodness for Skype! Skype is pretty amazing! You can chat, talk (like on phone), and video chat (face-to-face through computer screen) with whoever. It's pretty awesome! :) I'm gonna try to get my parents a Skype account so it won't feel like I'm too far from home. :) It should be fine... My first Christmas alone won't be LONELY, I'll have my best friend there with me! :) Leticia and I are rooming together. :) And we're definitely excited! haha. We've only known each other for a year, but it seems like we've always known each other. We just "click!" So... Leticia and I are driving down to Utah in December and I'm not sure how the weather is going to be, but I'm sure things will work out. :) Snow College, here we come! haha. I'm going to try my hardest to keep up with this blogging thing... And hopefully I stick with it. I might slack off when December comes because I think I'll switch to vlogging instead. Or... maybe I can just do both! :) Vlog, post to YouTube, embed it onto here and you know, blog also... Hmmm... Sounds like a plan to me! :) Haha. I just have to get into the hang of putting pictures up of events and whatnot... We'll see how things go. haha. GAH! I'm starving... I haven't had breakfast yet. haha... Well, I hope whoever is reading this, is having a fabulous day! :) Washington's weather is looking pretty nice for Washington. haha. :)
