So I know I need to truly dig down and say my blessings.
I'm going to do it.
It will make me happy in life.
1. I'm tall. This is great. And you know? I don't even mind that people feel short around me because of it. And if they feel like they need to point out the on obvious, so be it. Yes so and so... I know I'm over 6'. Thank you for telling me. But guess what? You can obviously tell their trying to get attention. I feel beautiful in my own skin, and all they are trying to do is bring me down. I will not fall.
2. I have a family that loves me. They always support me in what I do, and I love them. I want to make them proud. And I hope I can raise my future children even near to as well as my mother is raising me. Although I don't get to see my siblings much, I love them. And although some of them are a little weird, that is what makes our family so awesome. Yes, I know my brother has long hair and lives in the 80's. Yes, I know my sister has colorful hair and isn't afraid to stand out. But I love them. They are the best.
3. I'm creative. I am a poet and ill bet you didn't know it:) and I will have to post a poem of mine sometime:) I will make sure it isn't an embarrassing one.;) I also have a cricut machine, and get good use out of it. And I love to draw and paint. It calms me. I also love writing descriptive essays as weird as it seems:) And I love putting together cute outfits. I just need some cash so I can put together even more outfits:)
4. I have beautiful eyes. As weird as this may sound, I wouldn't trade my eyes with anybody else's. They are blue and sometimes grey, and I love them. I believe my eyes don't need much eye make up to really make them dazzle.
5. I'm very athletic. I feel that I have a ton of potential in sports. Especially volleyball.
I honestly think I may make JV next year, and possibly varsity. That is my goal. Speaking of volleyball, I need to do my stair exercises for my jumping muscles... Haha.
6. I can see the good in people. Even the people I don't necessarily like allow me to see the good in them for some reason. This makes it easier for me to forgive. And
7. I am musically talented. I can sing fairly well you could say, and I'm getting very good at the piano. I don't think I could ever give up music for anything. Without it, the world would truly be flat:)
8. I'm a class clown. I know how to get my whole class laughing, and sometimes I don't even mean to do it with my blonde moments. I truly crack myself up sometimes:)
9. I live in a wonderful home. I guess you could call my home very nice, In the aspect of both size and the love inside of it.
10. I hold my head high. I know that I am a very special girl, and that I am a true daughter of god. I have friends that love me, and I honestly don't hang out with the same group of friends every day. I love my life!
I honestly could post so much more than this... I just need to practice my piano so I am running out of time:) have a nice day!
Snow day!
So this is basically my whole day:)
Chips, laptop, homework, and a box of tissues.
And you may be wondering,
Why is Alexis not at school?
Well that's because we are having a snow day!
Shelley finally decided to cancel school:)
Now I can catch up on life and actually get some homework done.
Yay!

New pictures:)

| My favorite one:) |
I've found that photography is definently one of my favorite things to do.
I got photoshop for Christmas,
But truth is,
It's a pain in the booty to work with:)
So I use an online editing site.
It's called Pickmonkey.
I tell you what,
Even my grandma could use it.
Ok, maybe not...
But it's pretty easy to use.
And it's quick too.
Photoshop takes 10 minutes just to add one effect to your picture...
So,
uh...
yeah.
There is my little testimonial about how picmonkey is great.
Anyway,
You might be wondering why I am editing images and blogging in the afternoon on a Monday...
That's because there's no school today!:)
I should be doing homework and cleaning my room...
But where's the fun in that?
I'll just cram it in an hour before my mother gets home as usual.
I am such a procrastinator:)
And I should also be working on a painting I am doing for GT.
I'll upload some pics soon of what I've done so far:)
I know...
I'm crazy for doing a Christmas painting...
I know it's not christmas anymore...
But it's going to be a Christmas painting ok?
We will save it for next year:)
Have a fabulous day!
Confidence
Confidence is a tricky subject.
Overconfidence is definently my biggest pet peeve in life,
And people who aren't confident enough make me upset.
Let's look at the picture I put at the bottom of this post.
There are a bunch of little fish.
Obviously,
One of them stands out from the crowd.
And everyone admires the fish,
But the fish isn't so colorful that it distracts the other fish.
What if some of the other fish have jealousy issues?
If I were the orange fish,
I certainly wouldn't want to act like a rainbow fish in that situation.
The other fish would be jealous of all your colors,
And you would just be swimming yourself into a big problem.
And you definently wouldn't want to be a camouflaged fish either.
The other fish most likely wouldn't be able to see you,
And you would collide with another fish and come crashing to the ocean floor...
Be a happy medium fish.
Don't be afraid to show some color,
Just not too much.
And not too little.
Now in case you didn't get this whole analogy,
The color of the fish symbolizes confidence.
Being a rainbow fish is like being overconfident.
It will convince other people not to like you because they either get jealous,
Or you just annoy them for being so bold.
Being a camouflaged fish is like not being confident enough.
People will probably not even realize you are a part of society,
And you will start to feel like nobody cares for you.
So let's be an orange fish.
People will want to be your friend,
But they won't get jealous of you.
Maybe they will want to be more like you even(:
But in a positive way.
And everyone will be sure not to pull you down,
Because you are making sure that you are a part of society.
And you will feel loved,
Because everyone wants you for a friend.
So let us be orange fish,
Or green fish,
Or purple fish.
Anything that will make us feel confident in ourselves.
See ya!

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday daddy!
I love you!
And even though you don't even know about this blog,
I am still writing a post about you.
You are so amazing.
And I know I was truly sent on earth to be your daughter.
We always have the lamest jokes together.
That's what I like about us.
We like to be different.
And we don't know what pride is,
Because we are just weird.
And I like it that way.
You are one of the hardest workers I know.
It seems like every day you are working on a new chore, or renovation.
And you never blame mom for making you do it,
Because I know you are doing it to please our family.
And out of humbleness,
You won't admit it.
So basically,
You are awesome.
And you brighten my day:)
Happy birthday!
And I hope you liked my present filled with random things!:D

Oh Walmart...
Who knew Walmart could be so hilarious?
Today we were shopping for groceries,
And the funniest things happened.
First, a big bald man looked at a can of the "big sexy hair" hairspray,
And told his wife he wanted big sexy hair.
Then later,
This guy saw my mom carrying a pack of Dr. Pepper.
"That stuff is sweet nectar sent from the gods." He said.
I couldn't quit laughing.
Now I'm not sure I'm worthy of carrying Dr. Pepper.
Who knew people at Walmart were so hilarious?
And by the way,
I just finished a jack weyland book.
It's called-
As always, Dave.
It's a good one:)
There's nothing better than a good LDS romance book.
And I'll tell you what,
Judging from that book,
I don't think too differently than guys do.
And just saying,
I'm extremely glad I'm not a drama queen.
Those people drive me bonkers:)
