Auburn Rainbows

I'm ready for the fall.
The beautiful 70 degrees weather.
Nice breezy days.
The smell of dying leaves and coming winter.
The rainbow that appears in every nook and cranny.
Red.
Orange.
Yellow.



Probably my most favorite thing to do is to walk in the crunchy leaves.
To feel them bend and break under my steady tread.
Hear the pleasant crunch with every single step.
Smell the pleasant aroma of a new season.

I decided something very important about this season.
I have decided that it is now my favourite season.
I have also decided that the most important day of my life is going to take place during this season.
I am going to get married during the fall.
Now mind you I don't plan on getting married for at least a few more years, just thought I'd throw that out there.
But that special day is going to take place during this mystical wonderland we call Autumn.




One of my favourite memories as a child took place during the Fall.
We have a lot of trees in our backyard and all around it too.
About once a week during September, October, and November, me and my little sister would have a chore.
A special chore that you can only do during these crucial months.
Raking leaves.
The actual raking part wasn't that much fun. In fact, I strongly remember complaining about it and  getting back pain from doing it so vigorously.
I did it so fast. For one reason and one reason only.
Jumping in the piles!




So much fun!
Me and my little sister would jump and then re-rake. And then jump and then re-rake. We would do it for such a long time.
Our favourite thing to do was to pile the leaves all in one big pile at the bottom of our slide of our playhouse.
Yeah. I know what your thinking.
It was a BLAST!
Huge piles of leaves.
Two little kids with nothing else to think about but the next rush down the slide.
Pure bliss.
And for a moment....everything was perfect.
A great memory.

All of the seasons each bring something important and special.
Autumn brings cooler weather and rainbows.
Auburn rainbows.
Everything always seems a little hazy.
It's a good kind of hazy though.
I never want to get out of the fog that shrouds over this season.

Hazily,
Your very own Acorn counter

Green Tea and Peppermints

Time for a color change!
If you read the last post than you know exactly.
The color orange just rubs me the wrong way.
Sorry y'all!
While you read this post I want you to listen to this music. So peaceful. Just like the color green. FYI I can actually play this on the piano. :)

Green

The color Green.
So much better than the color orange.
Green was my favorite color for years! And my aunt Liz is obsessed with that color. I can't even imagine a time in the past when her favorite color hasn't been green. It's just never happened!

Green- the color of growing foliage; between yellow and blue in the spectrum
Literal meaning. But we all know that the literal isn't always the most fun!

Green occupies the most space in the spectrum visible to the human eye. It is the second most favorite color next to blue.
It is a pervasive color in the natural world.
It is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we see it EVERYWHERE!

It's true too!
Just try thinking of a building, a room, a place in the city, where you haven't seen the color green somewhere. It's pretty hard. And when you're outside? You can't escape it! The grass. The leaves. Lawn mowers. Hoses. Birds. Trees.

Green is a soothing color.
Refreshing.
Tranquil.
Peaceful.
Natural.

When you go outside a person normally seems to be more in touch with their inner self. More relaxed and normal.
Green is the color of peace and ecology.
Green soothes.
Think of your parents.
When your super stressed or just having a really bad day. Their voices calm you. Their soft caresses, lilting voices, it's soothing.

That's what the color green does.
A natural soother.
Think of it this way, when your having a bad time go outside. Breathe in the fresh air. Sit down next something green. Climb a tree or something.

The color green helps to alleviate depression. Anxiety. Nervousness.
If your feeling nervous, wear green.
I tried it! And it works! If you deck yourself in the color green you will feel less sad and less nervous.

One of the main reasons why this works is because the color green is known worldwide as the color of safety.
It represents mutual trust and stability.
Green is the color of balance, harmony, and growth.
It represents the world.

I bet that you never thought that a color could mean so much. But colors are so much more than just something you see on a piece of paper.
Pink embodies the woman.
Orange means energy and vigor.
Green represents stability.

Each color is alive and beating. (Some more than others >>>orange)
Now that I've educated you in the color green, I'm going to energize and relax you. With a nice recipe for some iced green tea.
Your welcome!

Iced Green Tea

Just click this link and it will lead you to the recipe. Have fun with that!
Hope that you guys have a stupendous week, or days, until I have blog again!
Naturally,
Yours Truly

Orange Peels with polkadots!

Color numero dos! (color number two)
It took me a while to decide what color to talk about next. So I decided on my least favorite color.
Orange.
Don't ask me why I don't like this color but it just drives me crazy! This post should be a little different since I don't like the color...like at all!

Orange

The color Orange is a very transverse color. You can't really connect it with a feeling. Like when you're feeling down or sad, blue. Happy and cheerful, yellow. Hyper, red. Love and passion, pink and purple.

But the color orange? What feelings does that invoke in you?

Absolutely nothing for me.

Orange- A color between red and yellow in the spectrum, an effect of light with a wavelength of 590  to 610 nm; reddish yellow

This is what the color orange means.

Technically.

So lets just move on from the technicalities and get to the fun stuff!

Usually the color orange is associated with strong negative or positive feelings. Like for me, I strongly dislike this color!

The true color of orange elicits either an "I love it" or an "I hate it" response, stronger than other colors.

Orange radiates warmth and energy.

How the color orange affects us physically:

• Stimulates Activity
• Stimulates appetite
• Encourages Socialization

It's true! As weird as that may seem think about it?

Thanksgiving.

The day of feasting. It's traditional main color is orange.

What do you do on Thanksgiving, eat like a pregnant rhino, go to a bazillion people's houses for meal after meal after meal, and have so much fun with family and friends that the day goes by like *that*!

ORANGE!

Interesting fact for you. The color orange symbolizes gluttony to most Christians.

Bahaha! That's random!

"Orange, it seems, may be the best color choice for the competitive player. Though rare in golf apparel and only the seventh most popular color among American consumers, orange is jovial, warm, energetic, forceful, and has a subjective impression of exuberance. It is associated with fruitfulness, adventure, vigor and wholesomeness, plenty of which exists in golf and on the PGA TOUR." -- Michael Patrick Shiels

Orange.

An person with an orange attitude is warm. Energetic. Forceful. They love adventure! They are a prosperous person, full  of vigor and energy! Youthful you may say.

Sounds like a pretty cool person if you ask me.

An orange person is usually talkative. They are joyful!

Well, orange people sure are a bundle of joy.

I know that I don't want to be an orange person for only one reason, I hate the color orange.

Sorry! I know that I've already said that about ten times but I do! And I just have to tell you one more time, I HATE ORANGE! I made a vow never to wear orange. And I have strictly kept to that rule. It has saved my life.

I sincerely apologize to anyone who's favorite color is orange. This has probably been a very offensive and painful post for you to read. Sorry! I had to speak my mind.

You have a great day, you orange lovers!

:)

Joyfully,

Orange hater



Pink Umbrellas and Pink Fish

Today I'm going to start a series of posts titled: "See the Rainbow, Taste the Rainbow!
A post about each of the main colors! Ending with purple because it's the BEST color ever! (Mainly just because it's my favorite color.) :)

PINK

First things first. Pink is not just a color. It is so much more then just a color. It has a meaning, a look, a statement to make.

Now you may be thinking, why the heck is she going to waste a whole post on a stupid color?

I'm about to tell you!

I have a purpose for this, I promise!

PINK- A color varying from light crimson to pale reddish purple.

Now you know what pink is if you already didn't know that.

But pink is so much more than a color, it's an attitude.

When you think of the color pink what comes to mind?

When I think of the color pink I think of flowers, little girls, silly frills, and pure innocence.

What is the color pink?

Do you love it?

Hate it?

Or are you one of 'those' people who look at the glass half empty?

You see a color and no feelings are invoked at all. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I am truly and sincerely sorry if you are of one of 'those.' Life is full of rainbows. Learn to appreciate them.

Pink embodies the woman.

(So if you are a guy and reading this, you may just want to stop right here. You can keep reading, but this next part sf just for the ladies. Come back to my next post.)

Pink means beauty. Romance. Passion. Sensitivity. Love. Softness. Kindness. Sweetness. Servitude. Fun. Nurtuting. Inspiring. Affection. Compassion.

And the list goes on.

To be clothed in pink means to be beaty. Be kindness. Be love. Be inspiring.

I don't know about you but when I think about my mom, and most women in general, this is what I think about.

And I want to be pink. Not the actual color. But the attitude. The meaning of a pink woman. I want my future children and husband, when they think of me, to think of this.

That I am Servitude. I am Fun. I am Nurturing.

I don't know about you but I'm going to try to be this person every day of my life until I die. It's a great goal. One very high. But not unattainable.

So here's the challenge.

Be a pink woman. Because we are not children. We are not teenagers. We are not old and useless. We are strong. We are desirable. We are love. We ARE PINK!

 

 

Pink is my colour

Pink pants and rosy plants
Pink blouses, never failing to arouse spouses

Pink hot feverish lips
Passionate pants of pink
Love letters dipped in pink ink

You see! You see!

Pink is my colour
Pink is the sweet side of wild
Quite mild
Like a little lost baby child
Of all the colours compiled
Pink is romantic and disarming
All pink roses are ever so charming

Pink is my colour
The fruit juices I drink
Are always colour pink
With favourable odours
Igniting my fire making me desire more and more
Think! Think! Pink always links
With erotic pleasant stinks
Those flirty winks
Combining with pink
Creating an effect of kink, kink, kinky!

Pink is my colour
Refined or raw
Pink is my colour
And the colour of my door
Pink is my colour
And the only colour I adore

Colors!

Today was the first day of school of my Senior year in high school.
As you can tell. I'm excited. (totally being sarcastic here)
Yeah it is not good. Summer should definitely NOT be over already!
But I must say, it was not a bad day of school. It was school, so it wasn't fun. But not boring.

Here's the list of my school subjects this year:
Advanced Math part A
Physics
Latin year 3
Theology
Ancient Literature
Theogony
World History
Bible

Yup. You read that list right! Latin! This is my fourth year of it too. And ya know what? I failed the last two years. Technically. But since I'm homeschooling my mom passed me because of all the blood, sweat, and tears, and hours, that I poured into it.
At this point if it doesn't stick in my brain it's never going to.
Theogony. That's not a typo. It's a study of the ancient gods. The Greek and Roman gods. The fake gods. LOL It's going to be a very interesting year.

Guess what I'm about to get?!?!?!?! MY LICENSE! Uh huh!
I could have got it back in July except for one little micro detail.
Parallel Parking.

Yeah. My greatest enemy in the driving world. And my mom is so crazy busy that she doesn't have any time to teach me. I will get my license before October 1! That is the goal that I am setting for myself. I will teach myself if I have to! But that could be a disaster.

I realized that I haven't put up anything else from my Bucket List on here. I sincerely apologize for that. I absolutely cannot stand inconstinency! So here are a few more items on my Bucket List.

#11 Go on a cruise.
Believe it or not I have never been on a cruise before. My goal is to go on one before I get married. So I've still got a few more years left.

#12 Fly a plane
Even though my worst fear, besides spiders, is heights, I desperately want to learn to pilot a plane. I don't know why but it's always been one of my dreams to fly a plane.

#13 Pet a jellyfish
I have already accomplished this one. Over my vacation to Corpus Christi, Texas I got stung like a gazillion times! And then I touched one. They feel like jello. So gross!

#14 Explode a car
This is my DREAM! All of my guy friends think I'm absolutely crazy because of this. But what do they know about my brain? (Probably more than me actually)


Well I think that's all folks! How did you like the different colored font?
I find it pretty! Makes it more exciting.
I hope that you guys have a great couple more days, or however long it takes me to blog again.
And remember to work on your bucket lists. They are an important aspect of your life that can't be taken for granted.
I totally just made that up but stick with me. I'm super tired today.

Colorfully,
Never give up

Senior Vows 1

So this year is really important to me. This year is my Senior year. I can't believe that the past eleven years of my education have all been leading up to this one year. A lot of pressure!
I'm applying for ORU this week. Whoo. A lot of hopes.
Since this is the last year of school for me, and the last year of me being a child. I've looked back at the last three years of my life.
Freshman year- an excited, acne faced, hyper, person.
Sophomore year- a girl who tried to be emo, sad, less hyper person
Junior year- less drama, super strong-willed person
Senior year- .............

I'm excited to see the change in myself in the past couple years. And I'm stoked to see who I'm turning into as a person. Just 8 more months and then I'm 18. A legal adult. I can't believe it at all!
So today I want to write out my senior vows. For myself. And for you.


Senior Vows:

1. Have fun. I say this every year, but this year I mean it. I'm gonna be a little crazy, push some buttons, make some new friends, and old ones, and just be totally and completely me!
2. Study super hard! I have to do really good this year in school. Stay on time with all my assignments, study like crazy, and do good at everything. Just a little pressure to keep me on my toes.
3. Buy a car. I just landed this really sweet nannying job for the two most precious kids ever! The goal of this job: a car. And not just any car. An F-150 4x4 dual cab. YES!
4. Grow closer to God. I need to strengthen my relationship with Christ. And I'm not just saying that. I really mean it. When I leave my mom's house and step into this crazy world on my own, I want to be prepared.
5. Be a better friend. I wanna be the best me that I can be! For my friends. I love them all so much!
6. Get accepted into college. This one's a doosie. I'm going to try out for the whole person scholarship at Oral Roberts University. Both of my parents went there. And that's where I am planning to go too. Super excited and scared.
7. Do something super crazy! My dream is to blow up a car...I don't think that I'm going to go that extreme though. Something super duper amazing.



So these are my vows. Or at least part of them...I may come back later and tell you when I have fulfilled them and I may add some more later on. But for now, here it is!
What are your vows? Comment and tell me. Or even better yet, just go out and do them. Have fun!
