Dreams & Nightmares...

Hello readers!:)
I am at my friends' house.I will call them Blue Seal & Pink Fuzz.(They are sisters and Pink Fuzz is the younger) I promised a blog about my dreams.If you know me in person, you might know that I have crazy dreams. I have been keeping a journal of them for about a year now an I plan to share my most recent dream with you now;
It all started with a gerbil dying.A friend I have never known with short brown hair & glasses found him on the street. We found a hospital for him and a family friend took us in until he was better. I was at this huge house and it was groovy/70ish colors.We were exploring the house and the lady said the whole top floor was ours.There was a dining room that was simply stuffed with all kinds of perfumes which is odd because you don't eat or drink perfume unless you are odd like that :/
Anyways...soooo there was then a long, dark stairway that went to the basement.

There was a party going my cousin Guitar Hero Guy was there and he was arguing about water.
Then the house shook.
We were in near the ocean and a hurricane had come.
We were on the coast line
...Everyone walked up to the main hall which was all glass windows as walls
Well, not anymore...
Then i woke up:)
Before that I had a horrid nightmare about twilight, shudder.
I will divulge into that dream another time.
Now I must away to church with my friends Pink Fuzz/Guitar Girl &Blue Seal & their family.:)

Home/Garage Sale

Hello friends.:)
Tis' to you I truly apologize.I have been home since Tuesday and I have had 3 days that I could have written a blog, but I didn't. Why, you might ask?I am a lazy bum.I'm being honest, no excuses; pure laziness stopped me from keeping up with this blog. I am not going to write about my vacation today, today I am writing about, well, today.:) I was very lazy until about lunchtime (which for me is around noon). Then I got out of my pjs and rode over to my friend's house.
We had made plans the previous day to go to a garage sale near our neighborhood. We filled up our water-bottles, packed our bags, and rode off to the garage sale. We had never gone to this area before but we had very little trouble finding the sale. The garage had fans going and and we were all sweaty from biking, so it was heaven. No garage sale I'd ever been to has had fans going on for the customers. It was a lovely thing, I will remember that for when I hold my own garage sales.:) Anyways, my friend and I hit the jackpot. I brought $20 and we spent less than $8, with our purchases combined! I am going to play the part of a fashion blogger and show you what I got. If you want you can scroll down past this.:)

My first purchase was this beautiful basic turquoise tank top. It is a hot summer and this is a color I don't have.
The Price:$0.25 :D (Normally $18.00)



My next thing I bought was this yellow scoop-neck top. I didn't have any scoop-neck shirts and I really love yellow, so... yeah!:)
The Price:$2.00 :/ (A little high, but it was worth it.)




Next we have a GORGEOUS cream V-neck sweater. I have been thinking ahead about my winter wardrobe and this could be a must-have piece for me, so versatile... plus I love the little whale in the top right corner.:)
The Price:$1.00 :D




The last clothing item I got was this amazing grey, 3-quarter length, off the shoulder, shirt. There are ragged kinds of ruffles around the neck and at the ends of the sleeves. I am not a bows and ruffles girl, but this is perfect for me. You can wear this as a swim-suit coverup in the summer, with a tank underneath for fall & spring, and with layers in the winter! I am so excited to mesh this with my regular wardrobe.:)
The Price: $1.25 :)

  

This steal right here made my day.:) I love this scent; it's very modern and has a hint of fruit but that's all my nose could pick up. Very strong, DO NOT OVERUSE!:) Plus, it's brand new, never ever used! And I never shop by brand, but I knew that Ed Hardy stuff is EXPENSIVE. When I got home, I looked up how much this would normally cost at the mall and it was $25!!!I'd never pay that much for this size of a lotion, no matter how amazingly fantastic it smells...
The Price:$0.50 :D :D :D I saved $24.50.
I also saved gas $$$ by not driving all the way to the mall and riding my bike for less than 1 mile. And that saved the Earth.:) And I got exercise.:) And I smell awesome.:D
I love being thrifty.:)
Much love,

Bon Voyage!

Hey hey hey!:)
I will be gone for about 4 days. I'm going to visit my relatives with my aunt and uncle!I'm been excited about this for a few weeks now.I can't believe my parents are letting me go! My aunt & uncle (the ones I am visiting) live about 4 miles away from the coast of *drumroll*.....THE OCEAN!!! I've never seen the ocean, so I'm super pumped!I will take may pictures and maybe some video too.I will be flying there this afternoon. Only 3 hours, so not bad.:)I've never ridden in a plane before, except when I was too small to remember it. This is just a post saying I might not be able to post there. And if I can, it won't be a lot.
Bye-bye!

Bikes & Graves

You probably didn't know this, but my good friend and I, we like to ride our bikes. Literally, everyday we ride around our neighborhood. We know our part of suburbia quite well, seeing as we've been at it for two months.We still each carry a map with us, in case we ever got separated or needed to use one of our handy-dandy shortcuts. Well, yesterday her mom suggested that we find 2 hidden bike trails that weren't on out map.  We looked and found one, but there was a private property sign. :( The other one said no trespassing.:(
We went to one of our favorite places after that to take a break.We went to a cemetery. Now you might be thinking "That's disrespectful Rebecca" or "Rebecca is an odd one, isn't she?" But let me explain. The people under the ground are dead. Why be scared of a dead body? It's okay be among the graves, they don't mind, their spirits aren't there to mind. No one usually voluntarily spends time in a graveyard, seeing as when living people are there, they are mourning. And that's perfectly understandable, I've been in a graveyard mourning the loss of a loved one before. But on a mission trip with my youth group we had devotions in a graveyard and talked about how we should be happy for our loved ones who have died and gone to heaven. Heaven is going to be so much better than Earth is and I love this planet;I can't wait to get to heaven, wait... well.. maybe I can, hahaha.:D 
So me and my friend went to the cemetery and we were taking pictures of birds, insects, graves,trees, the sky, ect. And she told me that I was right, that graveyards are very peaceful and now she knows that there's nothing to be afraid of. And I'm very glad about that.:) It isn't a huge cemetery, just about 20 graves or so, with a giant field surrounding it. I might post some of my favorite pictures I've taken there sometime. They will definitely be on my flickr.It is a truly beautiful place.:)
More posts coming soon,

Hello. = )

Hi there, whoever is reading this. Welcome to my blog.: ) I don't know why you are reading this, my life isn't a comic book adventure. What I will write about is anything amazing that deserves documentation.


First, I want to introduce myself.My name is Rebecca.I live in the U.S.A., but my heart longs for London, which explains the background of this blog. I've never traveled out of the country, but I have had to glorious opportunity to go to many lovely places in the States. That traveling has been mainly with my youth group, who are my best friends in the world;I love them so much.( : 


My other friends from school are not huge in numbers, but are huge in humor and heart; and I love them as well.:) Speaking of humor, my sense of humor is partly sarcasm. Now please don't take me to seriously because I may be using sarcasm, but I may not.I will tell you if I'm seriously being serious, seriously.

Umm, I'm 15 and I will be going into my sophomore year of high school this fall, thank the Lord, being a freshman sucked.: ) I have an autistic brother and he is so funny and clever and sweet. It can be hard living with autism, but at least he's talking now.: ) 


My dream is to be a photographer, mainly candid/nature.I love candid pictures, posed pictures aren't as exhilarating for me to capture.I'm currently saving up for a D5000, woot woot!: D Seeing as I don't have a job, I will have to wait until I have enough Christmas and birthday $$$ saved up. Economic times have hit my family hard but we're hanging on alright.: )


Enough about me , how about you?Who is awesome enough to have endured that long introduction?No one yet, seeing as I'm still typing and haven't published this yet...
