Day 25- What is in your purse

well.......i would normally have my wallet, chap-stick, maybe school books and pens in my purse......but my wallet is missing.  i cant say it was stolen because i guess i could've lost it but it sure as hell is no where that i've looked. If you can think of a place for me to look that i possibly haven't yet please let me know. maybe its in that place.

Day 24- A Photo of something that means alot to you

See Day 21 lol

My brother gave me a necklace identical to this one when i was 16. When I was 17 I was running passes for the front office on my high school campus and the chain broke. I didn't even notice the chain broke. By the time I did notice I had no idea when the chain broke or where the pendant was at. It means alot to me because my brother got the necklace for me when he was in Ireland and it was when I was living in Arizona with mom and he was in Minnesota with dad. It just means a lot to me

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

This picture could mean absolutely nothing to you but it means so much to me. Its a picture of the place that i have lived the longest out of every where i've lived. And although its very different then i remember its one of my favorite places in the world. Its where some of my first memories are even though i moved there when i was 5. I cant really remember the 4 houses i lived in before that. I always thought about wanting to have kids there. i dont know how i feel about it now. when i grew about there i always though that it was like a drug free area and blah blah blah..... well for those of you who dont live there or have never heard of Chisholm, MN its not drug free. Its probably just as bad as any town you walk into. I guess i was the kind of kid who was never into that type of stuff. John is going into the air force and if we stay together, well lets just say there is no Air Force base in Chisholm. lol

I couldnt imagine all those little old bittys freaking out because of the air planes. Chasca came here for a visit and i remember her asking me what the noise was when a plane was flying over. At first i had no idea what she was talking about. i then had to take a second and realize "Oh its then planes flying over.....thats normal" ;)

Later Days

Day 20- The Meaning Behind Your Blog Name.

Uhmm.. Well the original blog name was "Given Thoughts" and it was just because it was my thoughts that i gave out about anything. I then changed it to "Later Days" because that is my sign off.  I remember watching the weekenders on tv as a kid and the main guy always ended the show with some short story and later days. I guess i kinda borrowed it from there. from what i know that isn't copy-written. =] hope not lol

Later Days

Day 19- Another picture of yourself

I dont know what another picture of myself has to do with my blog? but okay haha.

Later Days.

An Uncommon Encounter (Writing assignment)

I just wrote it so tell me what you think. =]



I had fallen asleep in my dads Blue Lay-z-boy recliner after watching a boring episode of CSI: Miami. The dream i had felt so real. Ding-Dong. who is at my door?  i walk down the stairs through my living room and dining room to open the door. its the secret service! My jaw dropped. "Did i do something wrong?" I asked.  "No M'am. Please come with me." the man replied back. as i stepped out side i saw Air Force One.

I walked with him the helicopter that was sitting across the street. The amount of wind was insane. i had to hold my hair down to keep it from lashing in my face. the hand that wasnt holding my hair, was across my face so i wouldnt breath in all the dust being kicked up. the step from the ground to the helicopter was too high....it must've been 2-3 feet. i thought to myself i'm going to have to crawl into this helicopter. before that thought fully crossed my mine the man from the secret service was lifting me up to another man in the helicopter.

"My name is dave" the man said. "Your brother entered you in a contest to interview with the president. He told us how much you would like it."  I stopped and thought....what year is it? which presidnt could i possibly be meeting. I assumed it would be president obama. He is the president now. I asked, "Do you have a cell phone? I'd like to call my brother and thank him" Dave laughed very deeply, the kind of laugh that seems to echo in your head forever. "What is a cell phone? I've never heard of that before." I stopped again to think....no cell phone.....it must be before my time. "I'm sorry what is the date?" I asked again. Dave Replied, " You know i'm not the person you are supposed to be asking questions to. " He Laughed "But its May 27, 1962."

1962!!!!! oh my goodness. not am i only before my time. but my parents arent even born yet... Just then we landed in front of the white house. Dave rushed me into the front of the white house. Wait here while we get the president. I'm walking in circles thinking..... who was the president in 1962......c'mon, think, you learned this in school. JFK!!! oh my goodness.....how am i supposed to ask this man questions when i know that he is going to be assassinated in roughly 18 months.

"Jerica?" a voice said. I turned to see Mr John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I opened my mouth and blurted,  "Mr President! It is so great to meet you. I cant believe i am even here. I will really have to thank my brother for this!" He chuckled "It is very nice to meet you too. Lets Walk this way i want to show you my oval office." As we walked i saw old paintings of all of the previous presidents. I just couldnt believe i was in the white house. in the white house in 1962!! We walked into the oval office and it was like nothing i had ever seen before.

Everything i have seen on tv was real. The Seal the big desk the big beautiful windows. it was all so unreal!! We Sat down. "would you like anything to drink?" he asked me. "I'll just have some water" I responded.  I could never believe that i would be sitting here with JFK. He was wearing  a firmly pressed black suit. a white long sleve shirt and a blue tie. He looked so young. i couldnt believe someone would want to harm this man sitting in front of me. My head kept circling the thought that he was going to die in roughly 18 months.

i asked my first question " How long to do you plan to stay in office" He answered "well thats really not my choice is it? its the choice of the people. they decide how long i get to stay in office. I am running again next term. How old are you?"  I answered "well i wasnt expeccting you to ask me any questions. I am 20 though. My birthday Just passed" I Thought to my self... well in 2011 my birthday had just passed but i guess in 1962 i didnt even exist. "Well I see that since you won this interview you admire me. I can expct your vote to keep me in office." he said. I said "well i will most definately vote for you" I thought...if i could.

the lady with water came in and tripped. I launched out of my chair to help her but everything was already falling to the ground. I hit the ground and i jolted awake. I was so bummed to find out that i was back in my loft in 2011 and JFK was dead. Nothing could possibly compare to the dream that i had.

Day 16- Your Celebrity Crush.

I gotta say Paul Wesley or Ian Somerhalder.

Love both of them!!

Later Days. =]

Day 15- Something you never leave your house with out.

I wouldn't say that i have a favorite. I love music. I love to sing...if i could play better or had a keyboard i would play more. I love Carrie Underwood, Jamestown Story,Ke$ha, 3oh!3.....and alot more. so i dont have just one favorite.

Day 12- A Picture of the town you live in

Well this isnt exactly following what its supposed to be. No person actually has a picture of El Mirage so...this is a picture of phoenix. =] Close enough. El Mirage is a little bit ghetto if you ask me tho....its not exactly a town you drive into and take a picture of.

Day 8- A song to match your mood

"The Lazy Song"

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up
Then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand down my pants
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't

I'll be lying on the couch,
Just chillin' in my snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man
Oh, oh

Yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
She's gonna scream out: 'This is Great'
[Hear me out: this is great]
Yeah

I might mess around, get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry paps, you'll just have to wait
Oh, oh

Yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eah

Oh
Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all 

New blog. Nothing to do with the 30 day Challenge.

Everything i've posted are about the 30 day challenge so.... my life?

mostly all i can say is school, school and more school. that is pretty much my life right about now. i'm in my first baking class and i love it =]

John is going into the Air force. i dont know when he goes to boot camp but for not he is working at Long John Silvers. On February 19th we are going to Dysarts Military ball. i got a cute dress....well i think its cute =] its well the best way i can describe it is zebra print with like a cheetah overlay. its complicated but i love it!!! john is just wearing a black shirt and a silver tie to match my dress. =]

In march on break we (me john lizzie and angel) plan to go to disney land and the beach. john has never been to either. so i'm excited i get to be the first one to take him. he has also never been on an air plane. weird right? i look like a friggin pilot compared to john with how much i fly. haha. dont trust me to fly a plane tho....i cant haha.

I'm hoping soon to get the EVO my phone is due for an upgrade so i am super excited. I'm turning 20 this year.......20! wow......lame...... you cant do anything new at 20...at least not in the us.  I do not graduate this may but next june. my school quarters arent semesters like normal schools. but my school is not normal it is a creative art school and it is awesome. i love being in school. i do miss dysart and my extracurriculars. Choir, Swim, Cheer(for the little time i was in it), Drama, and Baseball.

I think that is all for now. Any Questions?

Day 7- Your Dream Wedding

Dream wedding right?

do you want logical or fairy tale??

Fairy Tale- "Princess wedding" I always wanted the pink everywhere......diamond studded (even if they're fake)glasses. i wanted the whole shibang. Pretty much i want the wedding that you see on tv where they spent like 1-2 mil dollars but you still go "who the hell would spend that much money on a wedding". i want that wedding on a beer budget. =] haha

Logically- Vegas? lol jk. I want my family and friends and of course the people who matter. i would like to have a high class wedding but i know i cant afford "high class" so a simple wedding would still be great because the people i want to be there will be there. And that is what matters right?

Later Days

Day 6- A picture of a pet you'd like to keep.

If i could have any animal back it would be my baby Oliver. =/ I Miss him so much.

Day 5- A photo of yourself 2 years ago.

*Photo courtesy of Brian Garrett*

This is quite possibly my favorite picture Brian has ever taken of me lol. i miss so many things in this picture. My hair was soo long i wish i would've never gone to the lady who cut more then i wanted off. I mostly miss the necklace i am wearing in this picture. My brother James got it for me for my 16th birthday from Ireland. That September the chain i had on it broke when i was running passes for the office. lost it on campus, never saw it again. Dramatic I know. lol

My Favorite picture of Lizzie.

Story? We hated each other. Her brother & my best friend dated so we had to be sworn enemies right? Well we had junior year english together and she was the only person i was familiar with and vice versa. We have been friends ever since. =] College is going great too!! lol

I know the challenge was "your favorite picture of your best friend" the way it makes it sound is one picture of your one best friend. well i dont have just one best friend. That is why i chose to post my favorite picture of my two best friends. =]

Later Days

Day 3

The Perfect Date

I was always convinced, when i was younger, that the perfect date had the guy picking my up at my house with a dozen roses. taking me to a romantic candle lit dinner, that was always secluded. it ended with the awkward walk to my door with my dad right on the other side of my door and then officially ending with the weird 1st date 1st kiss.

Now, the perfect date could easily be dinner, lunch, breakfast, etc. with the person that i love. i know that sounds cheesy but what evers clever. ;]
