Spring has sprung!

property of weheartit.com with minor editing by yours truly




I know a lot of you are seeing this from your dashboard and thinking "woah... she's posting?"  And yes, I am!  I think I just needed a (long) break.  But now... I'm back baby and better than ever!  I've really been missing this old blog lately, ya know?  And I've especially been missing some special bloggers that I like to think are my friends even though we've never met... you know who you are.  But I was worried you all wouldnt want me back... but I decided, what the heck?  If they don't like it, they don't have to follow!  But anyways, it's finally warming up here in Kentucky!  I'm so happy it's spring!  The birds are singing, squirrels are scurrying, the weather is warm, and people are happy!  Goodness, I've got to get on top of things!  I'll need to make myself a new blog design right away!  So for now, ta ta!

of chaos and blog design

Yes, I am redoing my blog design because the poll said "no"! Anyways, this means that you may visit my blog and when you do, you will most likely find chaos in design form.  I am trying out some new things and their not working quite right.  So, excuse the clashing headers and hideous backgrounds as I find a design that suits me.  :) Thanks!!!  And by the way, I know I'm not posting much right now, but I've been really busy lately with dance and my friend's play...  I promise once this ends, you will hear more from me (whether that's a good thing or not is up to you :p)  But, I still love you all!!!

XOXOXOXOJSIOHSGOSDIHG, Courtney

Update and Zeke

Hey guys!  Long time, no see huh?  I'm back from my unannounced blogger break!  :)  So here's an update on my life!  I got a new blog design, courtesy of Anna Katherine!  *Applause*!  And, drumroll please!!!  I got a new puppy!!!  :DDDD  His name is Zeke and we rescued him from the humane society after being abandoned by two owners.  It was a complete surprise for my sister and I because my parents went, picked him out, and came to pick us up from  school.  When we came out, we saw a strange (but extremely fluffy) puppy in our car!  We had no clue they were even considering another dog!  He was already named Zeke when we got him and he is one and a half years old.  So, that's about it for nowww!

Love, Courtney

New design!

*Sigh*... Yes, I've changed my blog design again.  And the worst part?  It will only be up for less than a week.  See, I wanted to change my background back to something non-Christmasy and I saw this, and thought "New Years"!  So, I changed it to this!  It won't be up long, because I spent about two minutes on the header, and I just don't like it that much.  It will probably be up for about three days.      ()  ()
                                                                                                                                       *   o   *
                                                                                                                                           O

But, for now it will stay... unless I can find one I like better...

Where, oh where, has Courtney gone???

Well, yes, I am on vacation.  I'm currently in Indiana, going to Michigan today.  I barely got a computer break.  I am staying at my aunt and uncle's house.  Many thanks to them!  Anyways, this post is just to explain why I won't be posting or commenting.  So, farewell!!!  :)

Shelby

Hey everyone!!!  I am writing this post for my bestie, Shelby.  She is going to check the blog later.  She is fun, cooky, and, well, hilarious.  She taught me how to play QWOP. She invented the word "Yayness!".  She is amazing.  I absolutely love her, and people that haven't met her are missing out.  She is a gorgeous, perfect pick for a best friend.  This is for her.  She will be reading this soon, so this is for you Shelby!

I love you girl,
Courtney

A look into blogging past!

My writing style has changed SO much since I started this!  This was me before:


"Hi!  RANDOMNESS IS THE AWESOMEST THING EVA!

1.  Hi, my name's Courtney... why are you still looking at this line???   Stop it!   I don't like you.  Please read something else.  This is uncomfortable.  You're gonna make me cry!  WAHHHHHHHHH!!!
2.  Courtney likes talking about herself in third person... she really does.
3.  OMG!  LOOK OUT UR WINDOW RIGHT NOW, THERE IS A COW STARING AT YOU...  so tell me, how many of you actually looked out your window?
4.  Courtney likes the fact that she CANNOT say "Irish wristwatch" in plain english, but she can say it in like ten weirdo accents.
5.  Courtney does not trip down the stairs, she trips UP the stairs.
6.  It takes skill to trip over flat surfaces.
7.  Courtney jumps out of bed like a ninja when she realizes she overslept.  It's pretty epic really.
8.  Courtney started this sentence with her name... YAY!!!!!!!
9.  Courtney is: hyper+bored+found a laptop= random list!
10.  Courtney thinks that if Chuck Norris were a polar bear, global warming would not have even DARED to exist.

Haha, please comment!!!!!  (And I really wanna know who fell for number 3.)  Hehe..."

And, well, look at my writing style now!  It feels kinda good to look back to my first few posts and see how much I've changed.  And yes, the above is a post I posted early on in my blogging time.

This is sad...

These girls are WAY too young for this!  It's ridiculous!  They are seven years old, and dancing to Single Ladies, with some age-inaproppriate moves!  This makes me mad because they are so young and are being taught it's okay to do dance moves like this!  Watch it if you dare, the end is the worst part!


New design!

Hellooo faithful followers!  Yes, I am late getting my Christmas design, but I have it now!  Do you like it?  I love it!  It was done by the ever-popular miss Olivia (formerly known as Olive Tree).  I absolutely j'adore this look!  It is too cute!  Thanks Olivia!  Anyone else like it?:)

Monday, December 13, 2010

Thanks guys!

Awww, thanks you guys!  I've gotten lots of "I'm sorry's".  I just want to say thanks for being so supportive.  Anyways, I love you guys!  And, who's excited for Christmas???  I know I am!  Only 12 more days!  I am so glad, but this Christmas, try to keep the real meaning in mind.  Also, I absolutely love the snow outside!  (And the snow days!!!)  Hahaha, anyways, that's all for now!

Dear anonymous,
You strike again!  Why is it that you love to leave me rude comments?  Do I really deserve them?

So, yes, I got another anonymous comment.  I did not publish it but here are a few snippets from it:

"I know this won't be published"  Then, why are you writing it?
"Your writing is fine, you should put more, but... why do you have to put pictures of you?  I'm sorry but you have nothing pretty to offer and I must say, you are actually quite ugly!  Why don't you just stick to writing, you ugly *****"  I had to take out the cuss word that they actually did type!  Also, this is very rude and if you don't like me, why don't you just leave?

Quite a little author!

Today, I was going through some stuff from when I was younger.  I found these poems.  I still think they are better than some I write today!  I must have been quite the little author when I was little!

Second grade:

"When the Stingrays Skate"
Flitting the sea bed, wide and flat
I am a fish to wonder at!
A kind-of sort-of soft, thick square
like a slow plane in watery air!
With a tough white spine from tail to lips,
and straight bones out my side wing tips!
No other interests interest me,
being this is my whole activity!

Third grade:
"Flower Song"
The red rose says 'be sweet',
and the lily bids 'be pure',
the hardy, brave chrysanthemum, 'be patient and endure',
the violet whispers 'give, don't grudge or count the cost',
the woodbine 'keep on blossoming in spite of chill and frost'.

Wow, I'm still impressed!  Anyways, I found another paper that said, "When I grow up, I will be a:" I wrote "ninja".  Nice to know I set my priorities straight!  I miss the good old days!
