The Semester is OVER!...For REAL!

So I just finished my last final, which means I'm officially done with my first semester of nursing school, which is very exciting. Here are some things I've learned this semester:

1. D7 is the coolest. Ever. You know who you are.
2. Disneyland is awesome, but it might be a bad idea to go before your final :) Totally worth it though.
3. It's a good idea to read the book, but apparently it doesn't help improve your test scores.
4. It's okay to get a B. Sorta.... :)
5. Sometimes waking up at 5 in the morning requires a minimum of 3 separate alarms.
6. Pharmacology fascinates me, but I'm sooooooo glad that class is over.
7. I can do clinicals. I didn't think I could, but so far so good :)
8. Nursing lab is super awesome, and you should be jealous of all the cool stuff we learn.
9. I know how to give shots. It's cool. Be jealous.
10. Peppermint Hot Chocolate is sooooooooooooo good, especially at Disneyland.
11. Dr. Who is AWESOME.
12. Pocahontas should have picked Kocoum. He's way hotter than John Smith and that other dude from the second movie combined. You know, as far as cartoon characters go...
13. The Help is awesome. Both as a book and as a movie. Soooooo good. Go read it right now. For serious.
14. Boiled eggs are a great snack and are available at the cafe at my school for around 50cents. It's pretty great.
15. My brain is officially fried from school, so I can't think of anything else.

So yeah most of that had nothing to do with school, but it's all important stuff. Sorta. :)
Have a lovely Christmas break!

The Semester is OVER!...Almost.



So besides one more final a week from now, I'm done with my first semester of nursing school. It's very exciting stuff. To celebrate being almost finished, three of my fellow nursing students and I went to Disneyland. It was awesome. (See above photo, this was in front of Small World. For more photos, see facebook). We went up Friday after our nursing concepts final, went to the park on Saturday, ran around the park getting into all sorts of shenanigans for 17 hours, then came back Sunday afternoon. It was pretty much epic sauce. Even though we only had one day at the park, one of our buddies knows everything about Disneyland, so she planned it out so we could hit all the best rides and shows, so we got everything important in, sometimes twice :) And it was especially cool because everything was all decked out for the holidays.
The only problem is that after spending a weekend in the most magical place on earth, it's a little hard to come back to reality and make myself study for my last final :P But luckily I only have to make my brain work for one more week, and then I will have three weeks to be lazy and make it nice and empty again before the next semester starts up!

Tests


So I am in my last few weeks of the semester and I feel like I am being bombarded with tests. This is always a part of the end of school, but I feel like this semester has some extra ones thrown in there, which is silly. And it's kind of bad timing because my brain has decided that it's pretty much done with this whole school thing and it doesn't really want to work anymore, it just wants some sleep and quality TV time. So it's a little hard to get it to buckle down and study and all that jazz. Which is a little frustrating for my gut, which is the part that suffers if I get a bad test grade, but whatevs. But in a few weeks, it'll all be over for a few weeks. Then it will start all over again :P. But in about 18 months I will be done with college! This freaks me out a little, but I'm excited.

In other news, I just finished the Count of Monte Cristo about two weeks ago, and it was pretty great. Soooooo much better than the movie.

So basically this post was pointless, I just thought I'd throw it out there. Now I'm gonna go watch Enchanted :)
Peace!

Procrastination


So I am supposed to be studying right now. So of course I am on my computer blog stalking and looking at facebook. So I figured, as long as I am procrastinating, why not blog about it? So here I am :)
Ummmm since last I posted I haven't done much other than school, school, and ....school :) (See facebook for pictures). And when I'm not in school I am studying or watching TV, so as you can see, my life is super duper exciting :) But I'll try to think of things I've been doing for you, let's see:
1. Watching Psych season 6!! Woooo!
2. Buying books, namely: Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell, The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling, the entire collected works of Edgar Allen Poe, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories by Washington Irving, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickins, and The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett. (Thanks Bethany!!). And now I will read them, so that will be fun.
3. Watching movies with my nursing homies while we study, make T-shirts, and just chillax and recover from school, namely Cars 2, Toy Story 3, and Finding Neverland, cause we are 12 :)
4. Reading the Old Testament, and taking an OT institute class with my Dad, which is pretty awesome sauce :)
5. Playing through all of the hymns in the LDS hymnbook. (I broke number 100 yesterday, woot!) Just for fun, I feel bad for my family's ears though, I'm not real great at the piano, but I'm getting a little better :)
6. Watching waaaaaay too much Hulu and Netflix, definitely gonna cut back on that this week.
7. Trying to exercise, I decided I want to get to where I can run 6 miles without stopping, so far I can do half a mile....so we'll see how that goes :)
8. Having the song Party Rock stuck in my head all the time for no apparent reason....
So yeah, that's about it I think, I should probably go study now, peace out homies!

I'm a nurse...almost

So as many or all of you know I started nursing school this semester! This picture is of my learning community (a group of 10 girls that I spend all day every day with, and all of them are absolutely amaazing), and my FOR (Faculty of Record, Martha, basically our boss, who is awesome). This picture was from our last day of doing our health education project at a preschool, which was way fun. I'm seriously way lucky to be in this group, it's definitely the best one :)
So yeah, nursing school is pretty great, it's also totally overwhelming at first, but we get used to it, until we get weeks like next week get thrown at us where we have an exam and two competencies (practical exams). Woot! But it's all good, because one of the competencies is on injections, so now we are all official needle wielders, which makes us official nurses! We did our first injections last Tuesday and totally rocked them. I lucked out and got an awesome partner so when she stuck me it didn't hurt, and she was not a wimp so sticking her was no big deal :) (She's the one in the middle of the front row of the picture). So after all our competencies and stuff, we will be allowed to do some of our skills on actual patients in a long term care facility! Woohoo! It will be legit, and a little nerve racking, but it's all good.
School isn't all fun and games and sticking each other with needles though, it's also a lot of studying and not a lot of sleep and being at school for a long time every day and feeling stressed and behind on studying all the time. But luckily we have our learning groups to lean on for support, so at least we don't have to go it alone :)
So yeah, that's pretty much been my life for the last seven weeks, and it'll be my life for the next two years, so that's kind of exciting. And then I'll be a nurse for real!! And I'll get to clean up poop and puke and blood for the rest of my life, which will be gross, but probably worth it. :)

Trekkie


So my inner nerd has been especially prevalent lately. I don't know if it's because I'm in school all the time, or because they put all the Star Trek episodes on netflix, or if I just am letting me be me a little more often, but either way it's fun to be a nerd. For instance, I recently got way too excited about Klingon instructional videos on youtube. I also bought a set of Star Trek cups at Bookmans, and was tempted to buy the Star Wars set also. I also found Star Wars: Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, the PC game, which I have conquered twice a few years ago, and decided to play it again. I was also recently heartbroken when I discovered that Atomic Comics closed. It was a blow. I also just read Jane Slayre, and I like Zombies. I also just found a list of 50 nerdy things to do before you die, hello new bucket list! Also, I currently spend all of my time studying pharmacology or nursing theory. Woot. So yeah, that's the nerdy stuff I've been up to lately, I feel like there's more but I can't think of anything, cause I'm sleepy. That is all. Peace.
P.S. Go listen to White and Nerdy by Weird Al, it speaks the words of my soul :)
P.P.S. Also I just took a quiz to see how nerdy I am, and I got: Supreme Nerd. Yessssss! I scored higher on the nerd scale than 93% of the people who took the test. Find out how nerdy you are! http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php

The Last Week

So sometime yesterday whilst pondering on my current state, I realized that this is my last week before starting nursing school, and it is also my last week of being a teenager. This is a little bit crazy sauce. It's funny because when I was a kid, I figured that I'd be all grown up at 20. I'd have everything figured out, and I wouldn't be scared of anything. Now that I'm actually here I don't feel grown up at all. I'm still just me. I'm still scared of spiders and snakes, and a whole lot of other things, and I have a whole lot less figured out than I did when I was little. Mostly I'm just a taller version of kidly me. :) But it is exciting to finally be in the nursing program, and it's a little weird to be turning 20. I decided I should probably start growing up when those things happen, so I've done as much as I can for the last few days to revert to my childhood as much as possible. Though that's proven a little difficult since I've been spending a lot of my time at work. But I did read the whole Fablehaven series (5 books) in a week, which was pretty awesome and reminded me of the fascination I had as a little girl with fairy stories. I also read The Outsiders, which have read about a bagillion times since I was about 10 and it's one of my favorite books ever. And I've been sleeping in, which I won't get to do much of for the next couple years :)
So that is my not-so-exciting conclusion to my Summer, and to my teen years. Hello homework and twenties!

Libros


So I was looking at a Summer reading list that I made, and of the 25 books that I listed I only read two of them. Which kind of felt like a failure, but on the other hand, I read lots of other books, so I don't feel that bad about it :) So these are the books I've read this summer:
1. Villette by Charlotte Bronte- AWESOME! Totally loved this book, though it hasn't quite beat out Jane Eyre as my favorite :)
2. Elantris by Branden Sanderson- I read this at my brother's house, it was totally amazing
3. Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones- I loved the movie, but the book is even better :)
4. Castle in the Air- sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, basically awesome, but I liked the first one better.
5. Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen- I liked this book, it was cute, and it kept me occupied whilst traveling to Idaho :)
6. The Nazi Officer's Wife- This is a true story about a Jewish woman who married a Nazi officer during WWII, it's pretty sad and intense, but it's good
7. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke- this is one of my new favorite books ever. It was crazy long and took me a while, but I loved it :)
8. Jane Eyre, again :)
9. Daddy Long-Legs, again :)
10. Dear Enemy, sequel to Daddy Long Leg (both by Jean Webster), basically awesome :)
uhmmm, I've read a couple more, but I can't recall what they were :) Right now I'm in the middle of Mistborn, by Branden Sanderson, so far so good :)

Summertime

So as I am approaching the end of Summer in a few weeks I've been thinking about whether I am excited for school to start up again. And the answer is YES!!!!!! For one thing, it means my dear friend over at Elferingewort will be coming home soon, which is probably sad for her to leave her friends and family she is with, but I will be pretty thrilled to have her back here :) For another thing, I am finally, after years and years of waiting and preparing, going to start nursing school! This is totally weirding me out because I have known I was going to be a nurse ever since I was giving shots to my teddy bears at age 6, but it's always been that distant future type of thing, where it felt like it was never actually going to happen. But guess what, it's happening, in less than 4 weeks!!! Crazy sauce. So yeah, this year is going to be crazy tough, but it will also rock :)

In other news, this Summer has been pretty great. As aforementioned, my sister and her kids came to stay with us for a few weeks before moving across the states. I've always loved hanging out with all of them, and I'm pretty bummed that they're going to be so far away, so it was good to be able to spend some time with them. I don't think it had occurred to me how much I will miss them until Strawberry (my sister's oldest daughter) woke up the morning I was leaving for Idaho and came to give me a big hug and I didn't want to let go :( But I'm really happy that they all finally got to go be with their Daddy who moved a few weeks ahead of them to start working while they finished up school.

In other other news I spent the last few weeks at my eldest brother's house up in northern Idaho. I had a lot of fun and it was cool to get to spend time with him and his family because I don't get to see them very often since they always live so far away. His kids are so cute and fun, and I got to play with them a lot. As soon as I got there his daughter took me outside and handed me a chicken to hold, which was pretty cool cause I've never held a chicken before, and we spent a lot of time playing chickens after that:) The older boys took me on lots of adventures in their yard which mostly consisted of getting lost in the tall timothy grass behind their house, and they taught me a lot of songs from Mario :) And they also have a little toddler who is crazy adorable and he would just run up to me yell "Hey Bon-nie!" with a big grin on his face. It was pretty heart melting. And it was also way fun to spend time with my brother and his wife. It's been a while since I had gotten to spend much time with either of them and they are pretty stellar people to be around :) It was also a bonus that the weather was absolutely beautiful :)

So basically that is what I have been up to this summer. The only sibling I didn't see was my second oldest brother, cause he was up staying with his wife's family, so hopefully I will get to see him sometime soon :) Other than that I have been reading lots of books. So far all of them have been good, someday I'll do a book review for them, but this post is getting a little too long :) But my favorites have been Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel, Villette, and Elantris. I highly recommend all of them :)

Update

So, I haven't blogged in a while. And I am kinda bored. :) So here are some things that have happened to me lately:

1. My sister and her family are staying with us for a while before they move to the other side of the country. They are all super awesome and I'm going to miss them a ton when they live a bazillion miles away. :S
2. My oldest brother came to stay with us for a few days and next week I get to go spend a couple weeks with him and his family in Idaho :)
3. I have read 2/3 of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel, which is a pretty excellent book, I highly recommend it so far :)
4. I went to Bookman's, which is always a mistake because I go in there looking for one thing and I come out with a stack of books, but that's okay, I'm building up my library :)
5. I ate way too many Cheetos and Skittles whilst watching The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules, with my nieces. I think I'm gonna cut out junk food for a few days to recover :)
6. I watched TV, kind of a lot. Mostly Gilmore Girls, season 2.
7. Uhmmmmm that's pretty much it I guess.
8. Oh yeah, I got into the NURSING PROGRAM!!! In 2 short years I will be a nurse!!! Woot woot! :)

So yeah, that's all, sorry my life is a little boring to read about at the moment, but it's nice just taking it easy with my family for a while :)

Bram Stoker is rolling over in his grave.

Does anyone else think it's kinda funny that vampires have gone from super evil man eating monsters:
To super attractive semi-good guy "vegetarian" teenagers with emotional complexes that everyone wants to date?



It just kinda cracks me up :)

Summertime

Well, I've been on my summer vacation for nearly a month now, and so far I spend most of my days doing pretty much nothing. I was going to just sit around and be lazy until I started CNA school this week, but I decided to put CNA school off for a while, possibly forever, so I guess I'd better start doing something productive :) My plans for the summer included cleaning my house (with extra emphasis on my room :P, completing my summer reading list which so far is about 30 books long, and getting ready for the nursing program by going through my textbooks and reviewing my pathophysiology notes). So far, I've mostly cleaned my room, done my laundry a couple times, read 2 books, and hung out with my friends, so I have some work to do :) But as far as the going over my nursing textbooks, I can't do that till I get my books, and as while I haven't been reviewing pathophysiology as much as I'd like, I'm kind of surprised at how much I still remember after a month. For instance, the other day my dad said something about ear infections and I totally spent 10 minutes telling him about otitis media (fancy word for ear infection) and why it's more common in children and what the different kinds are and how you can treat them. I was pretty stoked.
As for my summer reading list, I have kind of been rereading my favorite books lately instead of working on my list, but I did start "The Life of Joseph Smith the Prophet" by George Q. Cannon this week, I'm only about 50 pages in, but it's pretty fantastic. I also read "The Fourth Nephite" the other day which is kind of like Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites but shorter and it's in Joseph Smith's time instead of Book of Mormon times. It was a little silly but it was pretty good.
I'm planning on starting Moby Dick this week, hopefully that will happen, I'll keep you posted. I also need to finish the last chapters of Foundation by Isaac Asimov which is pretty much awesome. I've been reading a lot of his short stories lately too.
Just in case you haven't decided I'm a total nerd by now, I have also been watching a lot of Star Trek, I totally stay up till 11 to watch it on TV all the time. I've also been having a Gilmore Girl's marathon, but that's slightly less nerdy :)
So when I get sick of my solitary learning Summer activities, I go hang out with my awesome sauce friends. For instance, this week I had an X-men marathon with my super cool friend Elferingewort, and then on Saturday she and I kidnapped Celery and we all went to the zoo and saw super cool animals. My favorite was the elephant :) And Celery and I brought quarters and pennies to make squished pennies out of, and we each made 5 of them, we're starting a collection. And we totally ran into the same guy and his wife at both squishing machines, he had a whole bag of quarters and pennies, he offered to give us some to help out with our collection but we had plenty :)
Well this was probably my most verbose blog post ever so I should probably stop writing before I bore you to tears :) Here's some pictures of us having an awesome time at the zoo :


They had a hollow tree there so we could know what it's like to live inside a tree, just like a hornbill bird. We totally know what it's like to be birds now :)

This is us standing under the creepy masks up front. Cause we're cool like that.

And this is me sitting on a statue of an Orangutan. Because hey, why not?
We took about a bazillion and one pictures, but I'm not going to put them up, cause that would take forever. And they are already on facebook, so you can see them there if you so desire.
Anywho, hope everyone is having a great summer! :)
That's about it. Peace. :)

MI-5

So I was watching PBS. And MI-5 was on. Which was awesome.



And I realized that all of the male leads in that show have been my favorite male leads from Jane Austen and/or Elizabeth Gaskell movies.



And I'm okay with that :)
That is all.

Finals are OVER!!!!!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy/relieved/stress-free/tiggerific right now. My tests are over and I have a few weeks before I need to worry about school again, so I can just relax for a bit :)

To start, I went visiting teaching and watched a Walk to Remember with Celery, it was pretty much awesome sauce :)

Then tonight I did all manner of epic things with Elferingewort and her family and her friend Sidney. We went to SouperSalad and I got to drive behind Elferingwort's family who were on motorcycles. Yup, it was epic. I felt super cool :). Then we went and saw Thor and I got to stare at Chris Hemsworth for two hours. Mmmmm tasty. Then Sidney called dibs on him. Then we spent then next two or three calling dibs. I called dibs on tons of people, including but not limited to Carl Urban, Mark Wahlberg, John Krasinski (JIM!), Zachary Levi, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Jet Li, Jakie Chan, half the male cast of Lord of The Rings, and many more :) It was a pretty excellent way to start the summer :)

Day 26: Your Dream Wedding

I don't really have a "dream" wedding. I just want one that's simple and cheap. But there are a couple definite requirements:
1. It will happen in the TEMPLE!!! Probably this one:
2. I will be wearing orange converse shoes. Why? Cause I'm just that cool :) Granted, this one is slightly less important that #1 :)
3. My dress hast to be modest, especially to comply with number 1. It also will be pretty simple. It would probably be something like this: (But possibly with shorter sleeves)

That's pretty much it, my reception will probably be in a backyard, or it'll be a bonfire in the desert, and everyone can just wear jeans, including me!

Day 25: Put your iPod on shuffle, first 10 songs

1. Lover I Don't Have to Love- Bright Eyes
2. Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of-U2
3. A Little Too Not Over You-David Archuleta
4. Divide Me-Kalai
5. Dear Old Shiz-Wicked: Original Broadway Cast
6. Lothlorien: The Lord of the Rings
7. Liebestraum No. 3 in A Flat Major: Perfrmed by Yundi Li written by Liszt
8. A Lack of Color- Death Cab for Cutie :)
9. Just Lie Heaven-The Cure
10. On My Mind-Kalai <3
Just for fun I flipped through the next ten, which had some Muse and Smashing Pumkins :)

Day 24: Something you've learned

Don't eat yellow snow. Or brown snow. Or black snow. Or blue snow. Actually it's probably better not to eat snow. :)

Friday, April 22, 2011

Day 23: Favorite movie

Didn't they already ask this question? If you're curious, see day 7 of this challenge. :) Instead of reposting that I'll copy my good friend Hillso and tell you my favorite book: Jane Eyre.
Soooooo good. My copy is becoming thoroughly worn out from being opened so often :) Jane is my favorite literary character ever. I love how she stands for what she believes in no matter what and is just incredibly good, and doesn't give in to temptation even when it leaves her alone and heartbroken. It's fairly dark and pretty sad, but it's beautiful :)

Day 22: What's in your purse?

So I don't use one purse consistently. I switch around, and really I prefer to use my old ratty backpack, but sometimes that's not socially appropriate, so I have a couple back up purses just in case. So when I head out I always toss in my wallet, phone, chap stick, keys, pepper spray, and lately, a book. I was watching Gilmore girls in which Rorie always carries a book with her, and I thought it was an excellent practice, so I've started copying her. Okay, I usually have one with me anyways because there's always like five in my backpack, but I've started tossing one or two in my purse as well. Right now I'm toting around a copy of the Book of Mormon, which I try to always keep with me in case of emergencies, and Isaac Asimov's foundation, which I am in the middle of reading. :)

Exhaustion

I'm at the point in my life right now where there's just over 3 weeks left of school and I'm just done. I just feel drained and I'm having some major senioritis issues, which is kind of bad because I'm not even a junior yet. I just have to keep pushing for a couple more weeks. I have 4 finals, 1 essay, and 1 nursing application left to do and then I'm done!!! The problem is just going to be finding the motivation to keep going strong this last couple weeks. Sadly I have to, cause I have an 89.5 in most of my classes. It's killing me!! So yeah, that is pretty much my life right now, sorry if I have been neglecting you, it's not because I don't love you, it's because nursing school is a social-life-sucker. :)
Almost there!

Saturday, April 16, 2011

Day 21: Favorite Picture of yourself ALL TIME and why?

I'm not really a fan of pictures of myself, but this one's pretty good I guess, mostly cause it has Charlie the Viola in it, he's the best. Even though he's been semi-replaced, he's still the viola I practiced the most!

Day 20: Nicknames

1&2. Bon, Bonbon-pretty much everyone calls me one of these. My niece calls me Bonbon when she's happy with me and Bon when she's exasperated with me. So cute!
3. Bonster-my halo name (which my brother made up), what two of my brothers call me, and my blog name.
4. Bombie- some guys in my seminary class had this conversation: "Bonnie is bomb, Bonnie's the bomb, Bonnie bomb.... Bombie!!!" And they were really excited at their cleverness and called me that for the rest of the semester"
5. Bonniebommiebon: my friend heard the above and started calling me this every time she saw me
6. Waffles- When I moved here the girls I started hanging out with had food names as nicknames, so this was mine
7. Cherry- I happened to be wearing a Cherry shirt at the time...
8. Big Mac- I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you
9. Betty- this guy in my government class told me I look more like a Betty, so that is what he calls me
10. Bonnielass- Becca and Jecca :)
I think that's about it, that's all I can think of anyways :) Funny story one time I found a horse online whose name was Bonnie, and it's nicknames were Bonbon and Bonster. Then when I was trying to find that horse just now to show you I found this dog, whose name is Bonnie and whose nicknames are Bonbon and Bonster. Awesome. :D http://www.dogster.com/dogs/28123
Here's the horse too, it's the 9th one down: http://paradigmfarms.blogspot.com/2010/05/nicknames.html
Makes me laugh :)

Day 18 and 19


So I'm going to combine Day 18 (Favorite place to eat) and Day 19 (Something you miss) because they are both the same thing:
Plum Loco!!! (Formerly known as Mi Casa)
Best. Mexican food. Ever. And it's in Idaho Falls, so I haven't had it in about 6 years, but if I had the money, I would fly up there for a chimi. No lie, some of my family members have done it :) My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Also their salsa is to die for :)
Sooooooooo good :)

Day 16: Dream house

For me, it's all about location:

That's right, Bag End baby!!!! (P.S. if you don't know what I'm talking about, go read Lord of the Rings, and then watch the movie :)
But just think, it's perfect, it comes with beautiful landscaping:


amazing housey-innards:


And HOBBITS!!! Who are pretty much the coolest. EVER. (Sam's my fav, closely followed by Pippin, fyi, but they all rock :)

And who doesn't love round green doors right?

Overall it's pretty much amazing. However, it does have one very small setback:



It's a little too small. You really only fit if you are about four feet high.
Also, it is in a slightly not real location...:(
Sighhhhh, if only I were four feet high and fictional.
Oh well, a girl can dream right? :)
P.S. Check it out, they made Bag End into a doll-house. AWESOME.

Day 15: Bible verse



2 Timothy 4: 6-7
"For I a now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

I have always absolutely loved this verse. Every time I read it it inspires me, and makes me want to try harder to keep the commandments and follow the Savior, so that one day when this life is over, I can know that I've fought as hard as I can to keep the faith.

P.S. The picture above is of Paul writing a letter to Timothy from prison. The picture below is of the Stripling Warriors in the Book of Mormon, which kind of relates, because they fought hard (literally) and kept their faith :)

Makeover Time!


So this one time, my lovely nieces (Strawberry, Apple, and Mango) came over to visit. And we were bored. So then Apple said, lets have a makeover party! I guess it's cause I'm just that good at makeovers!! haha....yeah. Anyways, despite my lack of photography skills, hair-doing-make-up doing-fingernail-painting skills, my models still manage to look beautiful :) So here they are:

Here's Strawberry after her eyes and nails: (She liked my green monster rug :)

Here's Apple after hers:
