Me and my dad liked to do puzzles together. We would stay up really late on weekends trying to get them done! We modge podged one of the New York City sky line and it was so much fun. That is so special to me!
My dad always took me out on daddy daughter dates. One morning he took me to Mimi's Cafe and we got some Crousaints and eggs and ham. We always had nice talks about school and church. I am so happy that my dad took the time out of his busy day to dine with me.
Before church when I was about 8 or 9 my dad would paint my nails on the kitchen counter. It was so much fun because would always do it perfectly.
When my dad went to school for esthetician school, he gave me facials and pedicures and manicures and he even waxed my legs!
My dad cross-stitched beautifully. He taught me how to and we would sit as a family and watch movies and cross-stitch together.
I am sooooo thankful for the special moments I had with my dad. There are so many. Too much to count. I am happy that my parents are awesome and together forever.
One time we were going to try to make home made tempura vegetables, my dad bought the batter and started to make it and they were not turning out right. The batter is supposed to be used for deep fryers. We just used a pot of really hot oil. I am so lucky that my dad was a chef. When my mom worked and he was home, he would make us lunch or dinner and it was so delicious. We had Pasta with broccoli and it was in a butter sauce. For homecoming one year, he cooked dinner for me and my date and he made chicken kabobs with rice. And we cannot forget the home made breaded chicken with rice or pasta.
One time I was at a Cobra Starship concert with my family. My dad said that I should go and have fun in the mosh pit, so I went in with my friend. I had a really bad anxiety attack and started to cry. My dad took my hands and started to dance with me and made me feel better. After having fun and dancing and singing along to the music with my mom and dad, I had another anxiety attack and we had to leave the concert early. As we got into the car, my dad went in the back seat with me and had me lay on his lap. He also got me a sprite and comforted me. I love this story because it makes me feel happy and it shows what a wonderful father my dad is.
My dad tried on dress for me because I was crying. It was purple and puffy. Me and my dad liked to do puzzles together. We would stay up really late on weekends trying to get them done! We modge podged one of the New York City sky line and it was so much fun. That is so special to me!

Soap and Bacteria
A study was done that antibacterial soap is not anymore special than normal soap. If you scrub enough with normal soap, you will be fine. So if you are worrying about your soap, don't. You will be fine if you wash for at least 20 seconds.
Another thing about antibacterial soap is that it gets rid of all the bacteria. Some bacteria, we need. Believe it or not, bacteria is not always bad for you. Good bacteria is called, Normal Flora. They help your immune system so you can fight of bad diseases. If you use an antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer, you are getting rid of not only pathogens, but normal flora. Now, normal flora is not only found on the skin, but it is found in the intestines to aid in the normal functions of the digestive system. Bacteria is important!
I am not saying that being clean is bad. I love being clean. I wash my hair everyday, I brush my teeth after every single meal, I am a clean person. BUT don't go so clean that you rid your body of it's normal flora. A good thing to remember is balance.

Traveling
I really want to go on a trip this summer. Last summer we went to Seattle. It was so much fun. My favorite times were with my mom and brother in the car on the way to Baker City or in the hotel, people watching from above. I also liked going on the pier and eating ice cream and shopping. The alki beach was fun as well.
We also went to Las Vegas this summer and it was enjoyable. My grandpa lives in Mesquite and we went there to visit. We went to the rainforest cafe in the MGM hotel. We saw lions from the ceiling. Their paws were so cute. It was so cool. Then we went to the M&M world and Coke factory. We had a lot of fun shopping there.
We went to Denver last month and it was alright. The drive was really scenic. My cousin had a MET competition and she didn't win, but we were still proud. The funnest thing about the Denver trip was being able to walk to the candy store with mom and andy. The weather was so nice and perfect. We also went to a really good pizza place and had a melt down about how we wanted to go home because of the stress of the dogs. We almost got kicked out of the hotel because the dogs were barking all night. We tried to take them to a doggie hotel, but their shots weren't updated.
Since gas is so high, my mom doesn't think we will be able to go on a trip this year. But I don't think so. I think that we will be able to go somewhere close like the Grand Canyon or the Oregon Coast.
There is a Switchfoot concert in Denver, my mom really, really wants to go, but is worried about the gas situation. I just hope that the gas goes down so that we can go. She is also stressed about Andy and the dogs. I hope that we can go soon.
If you want to know about some really awesome songs, check out Switchfoot. They are one of the greatest bands known to man. My favorite song at the moment is Yesterdays. It talks about funerals and death.
So if you read this blog I would really like to know what your favorite state is and what your best experience was in that state. My favorite state is Virginia, because I was born there. Coming in 2nd would have to be New York because my parents are from there. :)

The iPods at school
We got these new ipod touches at school in November. November 5th to be exact. And I guess they are really cool but there are a lot of problems. Like;
-They do not hold a charge. We use them all the time and they run out of power fast.
-The halls at school are so horrible. People are always looking down now and bumping into others. It gets really annoying.
-I think there is going to be a drop in test scores because instead of listening in class, people are playing the word game with each other.
There are good things about them though. They have an awesome calculator, they are good for researching at the tip of your fingers, and the word games are pretty fun.

A big long post
One thing about being a teacher is being able to discuss things that you want to talk about or find interesting. I want to start out being a 5th or 6th grade teacher, but I would eventually want to become a high school math or anatomy and physiology teacher. I think that it would be fun to explain and teach all day about science, math and the human body. I guess that makes me a nerd. But I don't care. I am proud of being smart.
The reason I chose to go into education was because I wanted to do everything. It seems like when you are a teacher, you can teach everything to your class. I also wanted to make an impact on people's lives in a positive way. It will also allow me to have benefits with a substantial paycheck to live comfortably. Last of all, the vacation is amazing.
On Saturday I went to the vet clinic and this little chihuahua came in with a broken leg. It was coming in for a re-check. So we did a radiograph on it's paw and it looked worse. We did the radiograph through the cast. It was horrible. This dog's arm was totally decayed when we took the cast off. It was black and just disgusting and sad. I guess the broken bone blocked the blood supply to the rest of the arm, so It had to have it's arm amputated. I felt so bad for this dog. His name was Rudy and he was crying. It was such a hectic day and the doctors were so rude. I watched the amputation. It was so fascinating.
Then on Sunday I was asked to help with the primary class and it was so fulfilling. The little 5 and 6 year olds are so cute, but they are at the age where they don't like to sit and listen. They are smart, but they are a handful. This is why I want to teach older grades. I don't think I would be able to handle little little kids. 4-6 grade is a good age. I am going to be doing service learning at the elementary school by my house. I will be helping kids read and do math. This is going to give me a look into the world of teaching.
I just want to say that I love my family and I especially love my parents. They are everything to me. They have always been encouraging and good people. I get emotional when I talk about them. When my dad died, it changed my life forever. I will always miss him more than anything. We had a special bond. We still have a special bond, nothing will ever take it away. I still feel my dad at times when I need him. I talk to him when I need to and even though he cannot talk back to me, I know that he wants to hear from me. There are a lot of special events coming up like graduation and college orientation. I know that he will be there when I walk across the stage.
One quick story I wanted to say about my dad was that one time we were just sitting and my dad went to the store earlier in the week. He said that he had seen this device that takes away fur from couches and he described it "as having wheels and a little compartment for the fur." So we looked and looked for it at different walmarts but we could not find it anywhere. Finally, he just summed it up that he had dreamt it up and he wished it was real. Well the following month, my dad and I were at walmart and we found it! We couldn't believe it. He said "I knew it was real! I can't wait to tell your mother!" It was so funny and It will always be a moment that I will remember.
That is why I love my parents. We are so close. We do everything together. We have had tons of moments of fun. We understand each other. We know each other like the back of our hands.

Work
The doctor is so rude. He slams doors in my face and he is arrogant. Ugh.
The other day, a dog came in with a ripped off toe nail and there was blood everywhere! We put him in the exam room and gave him pain medication and after he was put in the surgery room, the exam room was covered in blood. It was very gross. You know what really got to me though? I was helping with the surgery and no one else was mopping up the blood. There were people just standing around. I get so annoyed when people just stand there and do nothing. I am just a pee on in this place.
I don't want to have a job where I get messy all the time. I think I would make a great teacher. Other people have told me that too. I want to teach elementary school.
Anyways I will talk more tomorrow or the next day.
I am going to go baptize for the dead tomorrow at the Jordan River Temple and I am very excited.
-Peace.

I love you daddy
One time I was at a Cobra Starship concert with my family. My dad said that I should go and have fun in the mosh pit, so I went in with my friend. I had a really bad anxiety attack and started to cry. My dad took my hands and started to dance with me and made me feel better. After having fun and dancing and singing along to the music with my mom and dad, I had another anxiety attack and we had to leave the concert early. As we got into the car, my dad went in the back seat with me and had me lay on his lap. He also got me a sprite and comforted me. I love this story because it makes me feel happy and it shows what a wonderful father my dad is.
One day, I got asked to Homecoming. It was my first dance with a boy. My dad was so excited, when ever I got asked to a dance, my parents went nuts. They had to plan everything. But this particular dance, I was not excited at all to go with this guy. We went and looked for dresses and I had a melt down in the dressing room. My dad felt bad and he told my mom to try on a purple dress to make me laugh, but she wouldn't. So he took the dress and put it on and it was really silly. I was so thankful for that moment. My parents said that I didn't have to go to the dance with that person and the guy ended up having sex with the girl and she was pregnant after wards. He was a bad influence and he was really ugly!
Me and my dad liked to do puzzles together. We would stay up really late on weekends trying to get them done! We modge podged one of the New York City sky line and it was so much fun. That is so special to me!
My dad always took me out on daddy daughter dates. One morning he took me to Mimi's Cafe and we got some Crousaints and eggs and ham. We always had nice talks about school and church. I am so happy that my dad took the time out of his busy day to dine with me.
Before church when I was about 8 or 9 my dad would paint my nails on the kitchen counter. It was so much fun because would always do it perfectly.
When my dad went to school for esthetician school, he gave me facials and pedicures and manicures and he even waxed my legs!
My dad cross-stitched beautifully. He taught me how to and we would sit as a family and watch movies and cross-stitch together.
One time we were going to try to make home made tempura vegetables, my dad bought the batter and started to make it and they were not turning out right. The batter is supposed to be used for deep fryers. We just used a pot of really hot oil. I am so lucky that my dad was a chef. When my mom worked and he was home, he would make us lunch or dinner and it was so delicious. We had Pasta with broccoli and it was in a butter sauce. For homecoming one year, he cooked dinner for me and my date and he made chicken kabobs with rice. And we cannot forget the home made breaded chicken with rice or pasta.
I am sooooo thankful for the special moments I had with my dad. There are so many. Too much to count. I am happy that my parents are awesome and together forever.

Gum!
Gum. It is a great device that we all know and love. Give it to someone who has putrid breath, and it will become more bearable. It freshens breath and controls your appetite. Some types of gum also clean your teeth. Some change colors. Others change flavors.
What will happen next in the gum world? I have no idea. They come up with some pretty unique flavors. The worst flavor I have ever tasted is strawberry shortcake. Yuck. The best flavor is "Mint with herbal extract" from Dentyne. Yum.
I usually give gum to people with stinky breath that I have to talk to for a substantial amount of time. I don't want to be rude but seriously brush your teeth!!!!!!! It is great!
Gum keeps my mind off of food so it is more bearable to starve during the day when I am at school. Hah gum is great!

One more thing...
I know the church is true and I love the gospel! It is such a great blessing to know that there is a spirit world and that my dad is doing work on the other side! I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet and he died for truth. I know that Jesus is the christ and I am so thankful that he died for each and every one of us. I am thankful to know that my sins are forgiven when I take the sacrament.
I know my family is together forever.

How People Change
So this post is going to be about myself and how I have changed through a year. So I was reading and I found this post called “Death and what not” and it talks about how there are good and bad things about death and how I am scared of dying and just stuff like that… It was written on September 9, 2009, before my dad died. I just can’t believe that I wrote this stuff. I know that there are good and bad things about dying, but I can’t believe that I was afraid to die. I am not afraid to die. I would rather die than live sometimes. I think what bothers me about dying is not the dying part, but having the person gone physically and grieving.
Here is the post that I was talking about:
Death and What Not
Well I was on Facebook and I saw a stupid little quiz about how and when I will die and It just got me thinking about how wonderful and terrible death is. I want to point out some things about death and how it can be good and bad. I think that death is very scary. I have been trying to get my mind off of it, but ever since my Grandpa died, I always will think about it. It is very terrifying to me. So I have tried to think of some good things about death; One of the good things about death is that you don’t have to worry about anything ever again. Everything will go well when you die. You won’t have to yell at stupid people on the road, or worry about your dog getting out. You don’t have to worry about wars. You don’t have to even worry about dying because you have already died. But another good thing about death is that you get to be with your family that has already passed on. I think this is a wonderful thing.
There are a lot of bad things about death. Like not being able to taste your favorite food or listen to your favorite song. You won’t be with the people that you left until they die. I think that my family that have died miss us very much. I think there is just as much sorrow on the other side as there is on Earth. I do know that I will be able to live with my family forever because my mother and father were sealed in the temple for time and all eternity. I think that is a very stress relieving saying. I know that I will be able to see my grandparents and my cat and my fishes and even my aunt that I never even met! I am so happy for this, and that is just another reason on why death is good.
I sometimes never want to die. I don’t think I will ever fully get over my fear, but each day I am trying.
I like all the things we don’t have to worry about after we die. It is really true, we only really worry about our family members and their welfare. But when we die, we won’t have to worry about paying the bills, waking up on time, cleaning the floors, dying your hair, doing your makeup, ETC. The list is endless. And don’t get me started on the laundry and dishes… So excited to have that chore go away.
I don’t like how I said I didn’t want to die. Wow, was I naive or what? I guess that is what I mean about people changing. Events change people. My dad died, and I’m not scared to go.
But you know what? The good things about death, out weigh the bad. It is the grieving that sucks. Ugh. And don’t even get me started about the last part of that post. I want to die everyday. Or get hurt super badly so I can have a near-death experience. I am really trying to like my life. I like to breathe. That is good. But I don’t like waking up in the morning and realizing that I have to go on another day with out my dad. I am a daddy’s girl. Well, I am sorry to depress you with that post. I had to get it out there.

And don’t get me started on the laundry and dishes… So excited to have that chore go away.
I don’t like how I said I didn’t want to die. Wow, was I naive or what? I guess that is what I mean about people changing. Events change people. My dad died, and I’m not scared to go.
But you know what? The good things about death, out weigh the bad. It is the grieving that sucks. Ugh. And don’t even get me started about the last part of that post. I want to die everyday. Or get hurt super badly so I can have a near-death experience. I am really trying to like my life. I like to breathe. That is good. But I don’t like waking up in the morning and realizing that I have to go on another day with out my dad. I am a daddy’s girl. Well, I am sorry to depress you with that post. I had to get it out there.
Death and my feelings.
I told my mother that I liked being around dead people today. I don't mind it. They can't hurt you. I like going to funerals because it reminds me of my own mortality. It makes me wonder about life. I like going to cemeteries because they are so peaceful. There is something about walking through a cemetery that is so wonderful. I like to view the names and dates and think about my life.
I don't care about what you do in your spare time, talk about something cool.
Well today is a boring day because I am just so tired. I am so excited that this weekend is long. I am not going to bore everyone and say everything that I am going to do. I don’t think anyone cares what I do unless it applies to them directly. Isn’t that true? I guess it is. Because I don’t really care what anyone else does. It is a huge waste of time writing about everything you did, why don’t you do some more stuff instead of writing about it. Now, I am not by any means telling you not to write down things that you do. It is important to write down things that you have done so you can remember it when you look back. BUT, don’t write every aspect of your life.
Here is an example: Today I woke up and I looked like a mess! I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I then did the mouth wash rinse. It felt soo good! Then I got dressed and did my hair. My mom drove me to school and I went to first period, then I went to seminary, and then I went to english and wrote about colors. And then I went to math and went home after that.
HOW BORING IS THAT!? That is why I don’t like facebook sometimes. I don’t care what you do, write something interesting! Today in english we did talk about color. It is very interesting to see what all the colors meant. There is a website called www.mariaclaudiacortes.com It explains colors and their meanings. It also has the meanings in different cultures and countries around the world. I really think that everyone should go on this website and learn more.
I guess I am not a very good blogger because I like to talk about different things other than myself. Blogging is like a journal, not a informational website. But I really like to talk about this stuff! So I guess it also makes me a good blogger because it keeps it interesting and cool. I am sorry that I write so much. I am just so curious about things and when I look stuff up on the internet, I like to talk about my feelings on the subject! Oh and sorry about my rant above. I just get so irritated with some people who only talk about themselves and complain a lot. I think I should probably rant more often to get my feelings out.

Getting Gross at Work.
So I have been watching House lately and it is my favorite show and he is one of my tv heroes. I wish I could say things to people like he does. He says what’s on his mind.
Enough of that, I am doing an internship at a vet clinic by my school. Yesterday was my third day there. I go every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. I do a lot of cleaning. I clean every room after an animal comes in and I clean tools after they are used. I sweep and mop, I hep with holding the animals and bringing them to their owners after the procedure is done. Last Saturday,I assisted in getting a radiograph of a dog. A radiograph is an x-ray. I put on a lead apron because of the radiation that can harm you. Then I had to help them position the dog. The dog was so cute and soo good! (she was sedated) I had to sit with the dog in the dark when they were processing the film. It turned out that the dog’s leg was sprained. It was a very good experience to help that dog. I felt as if I was worthwhile. Yesterday was really, really fun. I started off cleaning dental supplies. This was very tedious work. But then I got to wipe dye off of a cute little schnauzer’s fur. Her name was Dora. She was in an incubator and she peed all over, so I had to grab her, put her in her cage, and wipe her off and spray her good. Because of her weight, I had to put her against me, and I got pee all over my scrubs. But I was glad to help her. She couldn’t help it, she had a tooth extraction!
There was another dog that had all of his teeth, but 4 pulled out. Ouch. I had to help him too. It was my first time giving the animals to their parents. It was cool to see their faces when I came out with their babies. Very rewarding. So after that, a tiny, brown Chihuahua came in. It was in for a vaccination and a check up. Now, a thermometer goes in the butt of an animal. This is not a comfortable thing. It was my first time sticking it up there! I put lubricant on the thermometer and stuck it in her bum, and the dog was so good! I was so impressed. Then we had to sand down her nails and I had to hold her. The dust of her nails smelled like belly button juice. Yuck. And that was all. I get dirty a lot at my internship. I like it. It’s rewarding and it gives me something to talk about!

Why Do People Blog?
I came upon this question today and I am going to attempt to answer it. Why do people blog? Some responses to this question on the internet were:
1. To have a voice.
2. Some people use it as a journal.
3. To create popularity.
Okay so there are 3 valid answers to my question. But why do people do it? Nobody is going to care about my old cat and my cute dogs. Nobody cares if I am having a bad day or what my favorite color is.
I guess what I’m trying to say is I blog for myself. For my feelings. Sure, some people may read it and think “wow, this girl is strange” or “she has no life” But I am going to use this blog to document the events in my life. So my future children will have something of mine to look at. Because to tell you the truth… I really hate writing in my journal. It is torture to me. That is why I blog.
Why do you blog?
Is it to gain popularity? Because this really shouldn’t be a stupid popularity game. Blogging isn’t High School.

TODAY WAS BAD.
So today was just great... not. Our water was out all day due to a frozen pipe. I haven't brushed my teeth, taken a shower, or drank water in about 10 hours. I hate this. And to top it off... my dad died a year ago today. This is horrible.
I miss him so much, I would do anything to see him again. No one understands how bad I hurt. Everyday. It won't ever end!
I guess if it breaks your heart, it is good, because you are actually feeling something. I would rather feel this way then feel nothing.
I love my parents so much!
-Peace.
