Today is Tuesday, so I went to my clarinet lesson like I do every Tuesday afternoon. During my lesson my sister, my mother, my nana, and my Aunt Berta have a weight watchers meeting right under my clarinet lesson. So while I am playing the clarinet they are getting weighed and everything. They have had good results since they have been dieting. This week my mom lost 3 pounds, my sister lost 2.4 pounds, my nana lost 1 pound, and I think my Aunt Berta lost 2.2 pounds. that’s really good! I have a really BIG HUGE GIANT sweet tooth so when I go to my lesson I pick out all this candy and after I am done I meet my family and I have all this candy with me! I think it is pretty funny and ironic. I like sitting in the back of the room tempted to eat the candy but I think it would be kind of cruel to the people in weight watchers. My sister is dyeing her hair right now. She is going for dark brown. I think she should dye her hair blonde because I think she looks good as a blonde. She has had her hair so many colors in her life. My mom thinks it is a good way to express yourself without doing anything permanent, like tattoos or piercing your body. I have only really dyed my hair twice that I can remember. I had blonde chunks and last year I dyed it black. My sister has had blonde chunks, black, blonde, dirty blonde, dark brown, regular brown, light brown and red. You name a color and she has had her hair that color. Well she hasn’t had all weird colors. She likes shocking people with different colors. Only thirteen more days till school. I don’t want it to be so soon. I need to go school shopping which I am looking forward to with my mom. Well that was my day! Love,Tayler!

Any day now Duchess, the dog we have been dog sitting for the past month should go home to her owner Gary. Gary is a friend that works with my father. He went to California for a month and my dad volunteered to dog sit while he was gone. Duchess is a great dog. She doesn’t bark and she it is so cute when she cuddles with you. She has gone to the bathroom a few times in the house since she has been here but I think that has to do with the smell of other dogs, and she probably wanted to be the alpha dog. But we made sure that never happens again. She learned her lesson. Before she had come over my whole family knew our dogs would corrupt her. Our dogs bark and jump up on the bed. But that’s what Gary gets for leaving a dog at our house for a month. Just kidding, she still doesn’t bark and she is a sweetie pie. I think that when he comes to get her, she won’t want to go. She likes our dogs, I think she thinks of them as her sisters or friends. Or maybe she will be so excited to get away from them. But I think she will be lonely without them. I know my dogs will be thrilled when she is gone, because she gets attention and they don’t like that. Although I think Duchess is a nice sweet dog, I am excited for her to go! That sounds mean but I can’t have five dogs in this house anymore. It is way to much. But we could never get rid of them because we love them too much. They are like family. So hopefully soon Gary will come get Duchess and once in awhile he will bring her over so we can see her.

Today me and my mom painted my dresser and night stand black, because my room is soon to be black and white. Except for the door and the base boards in my room is going to be black and white. I tend to move my furniture a lot in my room because I haven’t figured it out where I want it yet. My dad played a terrible joke on me today while he was at work. He sent me a text message form a phone number that wasn’t his and I didn’t recognize it. The message said “go to bed little girl” it was creepy! As soon as I found the message I sent my dad a message telling him about it, and he admitted it was him. I was relieved but I was worried because I didn’t know who it was and I was nervous because how did this person get my number and how did they know I was a girl and how did they know I was awake. I thought some one was watching me! Ha-ha! It is pretty funny once you go look back and find out that it isn’t some crazy stalker! But I am going to get him back! Payback is a BEAR!!! He’s going down! But I am afraid he is going to do something to my hair, he said that is the first thing he would do to me if I did anything to him. I really don’t want to wake up bald, that would be terrible especially fourteen days till school starts. I don’t want to go back to school yet. It seems like summer has been so short. I want to see all my friends but not do any work. But maybe it will be nice to be busy and focus on something soon but I have been pretty busy all summer witch is a good thing. Usually during summer I sit around the house doing nothing. I am glad I got to go some places. I went to Albuquerque, New Mexico for two weeks to visit my family that live there, I went to San Diego, California for a week over my dad’s birthday because he loves going to Sea World, and I spent a week at my Nana’s house so I wasn’t at home just doing nothing. So that’s good. I am pretty happy about that. Maybe because I went so many places that time flew by and that’s why I don’t want to go back to school yet. But some times in life you got to do things you don’t want to. I hope it is going to be a good year. I have to work really hard this year, it really counts for my collage application. I still have to go school clothes shopping, I cant wait my mom is going to take me out and take me to lunch. I want to get lots of clothes! I should really start going to bed earlier because I have A’ hour this year and I have to get up super early! It is going to stink! But I guess I will get used to it. Well that was my day. Love,

Yesterday, my family and I went to lunch at the On The Border. My mom and I were going to paint my dresser and night stand black because my room is black and white, but we both got headaches so we didn’t. but today we are planning on painting them. I hope so because I need to get my room together. I was getting mad at lunch. I hate talking in less it was an interesting conversation or had a purpose but other than that I just don’t feel like talking. So I was getting angry with my mom and my sister. Even though they didn’t deserve it, I over reacted. But I dislike tortillas and I got some for lunch so I gave them to my sister and then she asked me if I wanted tortillas! To me that is pretty obvious that I didn’t want them if I gave them to her! Well it doesn’t matter I just don’t see the point of answering stupid questions if people already know the answer. Then I was getting mad at my mom because sometimes she doesn’t hear me or doesn’t hear exactly what I say so I find me repeating myself. But there was a lot going on so I can see why she didn’t hear me. I was over reacting and I know it. I take a lot of my anger out on my mom even if it is stupid but I always apologize because I know when I am wrong. I felt bad because I was in a bad mood and didn’t mean to be so mean. I figure it like this I have control over my attitude, actions, and feelings and I can either be a grumpy person or I can be a happy person and I choose to be happy. Well that was my day!

                                                                          Aquariums

My dad owns a fish tank and he really likes fish. He knows a lot of facts about fish. I think aquariums are really neat to look at. When my father buys things for his fish tank we go to this store that has a really really awesome fish tank that is full of all sorts of coral and fish. We have recently gone to Sea World in San Diego and they had two sections in the park, one for fresh water tanks and salt water tanks. They had many different fish in there. I hope that my dad build a interesting and colorful fish tank because that would be really cool! I like looking at them. I don’t know how people make a really big fish tank full of fish and stuff like that because it seems really hard. It seems like you would have to really pay a lot of attention to it and do research because you have to figure what fish are fresh water fish and what fish are salt water fish. You also have to make sure that you don’t put fish that eat each other in the same tank. that’s why I want my father to do it instead of me. He can do all the work and I can just look at it. I would want it to have a lot of color in it, big and little fish, crabs and snails, rocks and plants. That would be a nice tank.

My father owns a popcorn machine and sometimes makes my family popcorn for dinner. It is really good, and I am not really a popcorn person. I don’t care for movie popcorn but I like my dad’s popcorn. When me and my sister were younger he would bring the machine to our elementary school for our birthdays and make popcorn for mine and my sister’s class. He would also bring it to the school carnival and serve it to all the people at the carnival. It was really fun. Well anyway my mom isn’t much of a cook and she absolutely loves popcorn so one time she decides to make popcorn in my dad’s machine and (I never tasted it) she says it tasted like Styrofoam then my sister tastes it and she agrees. So you would think she would never make popcorn again. But last night she was craving popcorn. So she mixes in all the ingredients and gets it started. She gives me a simple task of pouring the popcorn out of the kettle but I did it to soon , so it was mostly popcorn seeds. But other than that it was good. I was surprised and shocked. But happy that I didn’t have to make my own dinner. So it was good but I think we should leave it to my dad to making it from now on so that it will be mostly popcorn instead of popcorn seeds.

Today, my dad and I ran a ton of errands. First we went to get my dad’s new glasses at the eye place even though I hate going there because the people are so rude, when you walk in they completely ignore you like you aren‘t even there. My dad’s glasses are really big. But he wanted them that way so that when he plays billiards he won’t be looking over his glasses. Then, we went to circle K and my dad got his cigarettes, than we went to the pool store and got a vacuum for our pool. After we were done at the pool store we went out to the car and my dad’s blazer wouldn’t start! Great! It was actually not that bad, it wasn’t as hot today as it usually is, we had a little breeze. I tried multiple times to call my mom to come pick us up. But she left early from work so didn’t get my messages. Finally some guy decides to be nice and he helps us by jump starting our car. Than we went to Auto zone to get a new battery so that we could finish running our errands. And just like the people at the eye place they completely ignore us. I was really mad. I hate it when a customer walks in a store about to buy something and they act like they don’t care about anyone but them selves. It makes me want to walk right out the door! But in this case we couldn’t because our car wasn’t working. So we just went and got the battery and paid, fixed it and left. After the battery was fixed we went to Walgreen’s and my dad got some things for his cancer spots, hopefully it will get rid of them and I got some coffee frap chino. After that we went to Wal-Mart to get a router for the internet in our house, my dad also got some shoes and sodas. That was the end of our errands. But two days ago I went to my clarinet lesson and found out that my old piano teacher had passed away. That is so sad because she was really nice to me. My clarinet teacher said that she wasn’t a very nice person and even wrote out her own daughter out of her will. That is sad. But I knew a good piano teacher, I hope she is happy in heaven. When I got back from my piano lesson my dad’s best friend and his kids were over. So we just sat around talking while my dad and his best friend Gordon talked. They can talk forever. every time we go over to his house, my dad says it is only going to be a few minutes it ends up being 2-3 hours. But that is good I am glad my dad has friends. Well that is all that has been going on.

Love, Tayler!

Dear diary,                                                                                               July 23, 07

Today I have just been working on my sites. I put up about 20 new pictures on my photo site. I have a lot to put up there though. My dad and I got all the pictures off my phone, so I have all 400 of those to put on that site. It is nice to be home, I slept really good last night. I also got to catch up with my shows today. My dad is off tomorrow so hopefully we can do something together, that would be fun. When I was gone there was a problem with our pool. It was leaking so they have to drain it take down the liner and I don’t know what else. But that stinks. I guess we wont be swimming as soon as I thought. But as long as we get it up eventually. I am just glad that I wasn’t here to deal with that. I would be really upset. That pool has been really difficult. I can’t wait till it is up, and hopefully that will be soon. Love,Tayler

Dear diary,                                                                    July 22, 07

I am home. Although I am happy to be home, I miss the peace and quiet. I liked being at my Nana’s house for a week. It was nice having the quiet and just being low key. It is not like that at my house. But there is no place like home. You just can’t replace the feeling of being in your own house, own bedroom, and own bed. I had fun spending time with my Nana though she is the greatest. As soon as i got home I finally got to use my itunes card so I bought a bunch of songs! I am excited because I was getting sick of the same old songs on there. Now I have about 30 new songs to listen to. That should last me awhile. Well now this week I will be at my house and my sister is going to go stay at my Nana’s house. We are going to go drop her off soon. That is going to be good to have my house to my self! haha! Can you say party!? Just kidding, I wouldn’t do that without my parents permission. Well that was my day.

love,

Tatertot

Yes, I have four dogs. And yes, that is way too many. We started out having two but at my Nana’s work they found a litter or eight puppys under a sheet of metal. Some people form her work took a puppy home to keep. And my family took in what was left. We planned to get rid of them all but after we had them for awhile we got attached. We took in five puppys and still have two of them. I love all of my dogs but it is hard having four. You have to clean up after them, give them baths, feed and water them. They bark consantly. They make you trip on the stairs. They jump on your lap. But all that and they are still really great dogs. They keep me company! They are sweet! They love to see you every day. But best of all they are always there so you can talk to them. And they dont argue or disagree. haha! They are always on your side. Thats what makes them great! They each have a different personality and attitude! I love them!
