March Wrap Up

It's April already...................?
 My, how time flies.
It has been a busy month for me. (Ugh, LaKaysha you say that in every update)
 Sorry, guys, if I sound like a broken record.
I have an official job now. *YAYYYYYYYYYYY*
  I clean house, fold clothes, and homeschool my boss's kids, and so far it's been once a week, but hoping for more later on. (because I NEED some income. cough)
 So besides that, I also did a lot of yard work for my Grandpa (with Chancy and Daminika), pruning the fruit trees, hauling and stacking wood, gathering branches, ect.
 It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed helping my Grandpa out.
Plus, he makes delicious lunches. *wink*

I've been writing again, which feel wonderful! <3
 My characters are becoming so real again, like good old friends, and I didn't realize how much I missed them. *hugs them all to my heart*
 My family hates it when I'm writing, but they don't understand the long process, AND they don't understand how utterly frustrating it is to be constantly interrupted during a very important moment in the story, when your really feeling the inspiration.
 "Get off the computer. I haven't seen you all day. I hate it when you're writing. You get so grumpy."
They begin to lean over my shoulder and read out loud, in dramatic voices.
I am ready to throw them all out single-handily.
 "GO AWAY!"

AHEM. 

 But I really have loved throwing myself back into Katie's world, rediscovering the power and magic of words, AND being able to shape Nolan's character more. 

 He's not the main hero, but I love him so much. He's like... a dash of awesomeness. 

I have been working out more, which has always been something I've loved doing. 

 Yes, there are nuts like me who LIKE to exercise. 

One of my goals is to be as fit and flexible as possible, because I have never been 'stretchy', unlike some people I know, who can stretch and fold like a taco. 

 I've also tried avoiding sugar, just because I feel better about myself when I do. 

BUT I have not given up an occasional milkshake. Yet. 

 I have actually skipped the fancy coffee's I love, and chose a delicious smoothie instead. 

MANGO....... *dies*

 So I think that 'mostly' wraps up what I've been doing. 

Same old hum-drum of daily life. 

 Now a rather large photo dump:

I just love small towns

me and some of the other gals 

took a hike in early March. 

It was exhilarating <3

someday we're going all the way to 

Silver Star. Think we can do it?

there was still plenty of snow up top. 

 

One of my favorite drinks of all time <3333

pruning trees works up quite an appetite.

I had two of these *covers face*

my battle wounds from the fruit trees

we took a walk another morning, but didn't take the 

hard trails this time

Emily wasn't here for my 20th birthday, so she 

wanted to take me out. 

Naturally sugar-free frozen yogurt. <33333

Mango smoothie from Arrowhead 

*cries for more*

working hard

my last three dollars of the month....

on a pretzel. What can I say?

late night character sketching

This is Nolan, who I mentioned a moment ago. 

I fell in love with this quick sketch of him *laughs*

 He's so utterly adorable

I have also been reading again, which has been nice <3

This one was pretty good :) 

yes, another mango smoothie

My double second cousin, Chrissa, born on my birthday! 

AND also my double second cousin, Leah, ALSO born 

on my birthday, just hours apart from her cousin

sister texts *laughs* 

I'm so witty sometimes, I amaze myself 

Daminika finally got around to taking my 

birthday pictures, but I hated my face, so you 

are only going to see a random photo of my new shirt. 

So sorry
