Phew, it hurts. <:o

How can I possibly put all these last few days into one entry? I don't know if I can. But I'll try. :D So about 2 days ago, I went to a birthday party for one of my bestest friends ever, Taylor. [: We went to Sedona and stayed at this uber fancy hotel called the King...[I forgot the Second part]. But before I get ahead of myself, all 8 of us crammed into her mom's black SUV and rode down to Old Jerome. It was pretty cool looking at all of the old shops, and the little cliff-side town. All I bought while I was there though, was a 3 dollar ice cream cone. It was mocha almost chocolate. It was delicious. :D Meanwhile, I was ignoring one of my ex friends. And all of a sudden she just comes up and hugs me. End of that grudge. All in all, it was a great trip. We headed down from Jerome down to Sedona, and took a 15 minute hike [which ended up being a total waste of money], and then Headed down to our hotel. All 8 of us slipped right into our bikinis and hopped into the giant L-shaped pool they had there. I think it was about 8 feet total. Anyways, we went swimming about twice, and we opened gifts and had cake and everything. I got Taylor a yellow purse, and some make-up. I didn't have all that much money, but I made do with what I had. So now, here I am back at my grandparents house, typing and bored to death. But the summer's passed right by, and on July 30th, I have 8th grade registration! Yay! [Not really]. And in 4 days, I'm going on a 3 day shopping trip to Phoenix with my Grandma and best friend Ashley for school clothes! It's going to be the best year ever so far. Good wardrobe, and guess what else? My grandma said whatever amount of money I earned from babysitting my cousin, she would double!
So far, I think I have 120 bucks. So maybe about 240 when we actually go on the trip! I can't wait! Well tata for now, readers! :D --Kiana--

Give a little, blog a little.

Whoohooo! So how long has it been since the last time I've blogged? About 1, 2, 3, >6< MONTHS?! Wow. Well, I'm here to catch you up! It's your lucky day! :O So here I am in gorgeous Sierra Vista, Arizona. Wifi has been scarce as I've been staying with my great grandmother in Tucson for the past 5 days. I'm glad to be out of there! The musty smell, the look of wrinkles everywhere you look, is not overwhelming, rather underwhelming [the idea of old age doesn't exactly attract me, although I love my family very much]. We also went to an old theme park in Tucson, just the other day. Old Tucson to be exact! [Nice name huh?] Well I've got a couple pictures to put up, and I think I'll make a slide show, so I don't have to take up a bunch of room. You'll find 2 or 3 different slideshows on the sidebar to your right with pictures from Old Tucson, and Queen Mine, which we went to today in Bisbee. We had to wear thick, raincoat-like jacket, along with a belt that held a heavy flashlight battery that draped over your right shoulder. You also had to wear a hardhat. It was amazing how cold it was in the mine. A toasty 47* F! Well, we rode a minature train into the mine, and we went up a staircase into a room where at least 30x60 feet of rock had been blasted out in the 1900s by old time miners. While we were being told the story of everything, I took a lot of pictures. Did I forget to mention that the town's main production was copper? They name all their stores/lodges after that fact as well. They've got the Copper Queen Hotel. Their lights in the mini-mall are made of copper. Most of the souvenirs in the gift shop were copper. :O It's like find some gold or something! Lol. We also scoped out the local shops, and art galleries. If you ever go there, be sure to check out the Bizz Art Gallery. It's pretty cool. And they had memorbilia of my favorite thing in the world: Twilight! :D I was shocked when we got in there. I thought it was just going to be another boring day, of typical tour-ism-ing. But nope. Unfortunately, the store owner decided to tell us the truth of the shirts, that they was seconders, but who cares? That made my day.
After that, we decided to head to the hotel and relax. We had a few issues with the manager, with wifi and all. But if it weren't for my grandma, I wouldn't be writing right now! So we went swimming, took showers, etc. And tomorrow, we're going to go to Katchner Caverns! :D Some kind of caves. We studied them in science class, back in December-January? Anyway, I'm going to post the pictures and I'm off to bed, for an early morning to Karchner tomorrow morning. Well, tata for now! -Kiana

half sick day..?

today, i got up extra early just to go to school and stuff. well a while after my mom left, my stomach started rumbling like i was starved or something. then in p.e. and science i got this extruciating pain going throughout my entire stomach and it hurt REALLY bad. i couldnt help but text my mom in the middle of class and have grandfather come and get me. i went to the nurse before he came and got me, and she said it was just because i hadnt eaten that morning and the hydrochloric acid was just gnawing at my stomach and that it was not going to stop until i gave it something to eat like food to digest and it would rest for awhile until i ate the nect meal. well my granpa still came to get me but im kind of glad that i went home because it continued for awhile after i got home to his house. well right now the snow is unbearable and u cant even see the road below. here's a picture this is amazing!! we havent had snow like this in northern aarizona in ages! (im talking like an old lady hahahahaha) oh well anyways heres the picture. thats pretty good fore nothern arizona huh?? i had to take the trash out just a little while ago. and it took me 10 minutes just to get down to the dumpster and throw the thing in. im not sure how many inches we have right now but im pretty sure its almost a foot and a half, and its still snowing too!! well i better go right now, dinners almost ready and i still have to get ready for bed and clean my bathroom!! ttyl, -kiana-

little here, little there, little everywhere

ok so the word round the street is that im starting to blog again! well its true! i never told u about how my bday went but im going to leave that for later.. ive got bigger news that has just risen and fallen and gone over the place like a rollercoaster off of its tracks! ok so first things first: my parents got back together a couple weeks after my dad came back from phoenix! then after several fights and nights out to the bar, they decided to take marriagee counseling.... now everythings screwed up again, my dads back in phoenix, and my moms beginning to hang out with her hevy drinking friends again!! well since everythings back to normal now, you would think, that i would be heartbroken after having to deal with all this dramam and junk. well ur kinda wrong. im not that heartbroken anymore cuz my parents have had so many good times together it just kinda sits there unremembered and all the bad times seem to rules out the good ones, but even with all my parents the way they are, i forgave both of them, because i guess its just not meant to be! i was very sad at first but now i realize that maybe theres another time, another place, anotehr chance. so for now, im going to stay happy with the way things are in my life.
ok but to get things started from now. there was a huge fight going on between a couple of my friends earlier and i got myself involved. too involved. everythings fine now, but everything was a huge trainwreck a couple days earlier. two best friends gone against each other, an enemy actually becoming a best friend. and everything just seemed to fall apart. howd we fix everything you ask? well i dont know. it just all seemed to fall into place and thats where we are today.

ok so my grades havent been all that they used to be but im working extremely hard to get them back up in taht range. i remember that my math teacher said that theres a wall that the students sometimes hit when they dont understand something. well it seems that my entire class except for maybe a few people have hit that wall. a big red brick wall surrounding from side to side extending to the sky. u cant go over it or go around it or under it, you have to break the hole and get through by useing the power of math!! LOL. well anyway im beginning to get the early stages of carpel tunnel by typing so much, so im gonna say im gona have to go for now cuz i also have a friend over and dont want to keep her waiting so for now: TATA! MWAH! :)
