 How is your daily life different now than it was five years ago? How do you imagine your life will change in another five years?

My daily life has changed so much through out the past five years its hard to think back on how I was five years ago. It amazes me how much you can grow and change as a person just with in a five year range. Five years ago I was just a little kid still basically and still had a lot of hopes and dreams ahead of me still waiting to happen. My personal freedoms were still very little and sheltered compared to where I am now at almost 16 and little did I know how much changes I was going to go through. Looking at it now I really wonder what will happen five years from now because five years going back I had little to no clue I was going to be doing what I do today with all my hobbies and new people I have met through out the years. In five years though I hope to see my self in a great nursing school working full time to try to do my very best in starting out in a brand new world of living on my own I'd imagine? I hope that my life changes always for the better and I see myself doing good things for the world and I learn to be a very mature young adult. Seeing now five years seems so far away but it really comes up in a blink of an eye and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me.

What are these people celebrating?

Whoa, this looks like a crazy time?  Seeing the wild jumping and pillow swinging I think its some kind of jungle party. The group of four friends must of got together to have an exciting get together and put their imaginations together to form this bed jumping spectacular it looks like? They all seem to be having an awesome time swinging around like monkeys on a tree. I'd love to join them in their own little pillow fight and re live the childhood book with the little monkeys getting hurt from horse playing on the bed and getting bumps on their head.

S = Screamin' Cinnamon Rolls w/Cream Cheese Frosting

1 cup of milk- Me and my little sister would race to the back of the store seeing who would find the best gallon of milk and hand off to my mom like it was a baton in a track race

1/4 cup of butter- Soupy and gooey just like a pool of sun colored ocean. You see it sink into the the bowl and over power the milk like an army of liquid. I would always dash to the microwave to pop it out and hand it to my mother and wait as she smiled to see me pour it into the giant bowl.

1/4 cup sugar- Little ice burg crystals would pile in the middle like little craters soaking up the pools of liquids. I always wanted to dive into the sugar bag and taste it all at once but my mother would laugh for the longest time when she saw me dipping my little chubby fingers into the sugar pile and take a quick taste of it all pretending I didn't see her look at me do it.

2 teaspoons yeast (one package)- Rising as a hot air balloon fills the oven around it creating little balls of yummy messy rolls I sit and watch like I was waiting for them to pop out of the oven and fly right into my watering mouth to satisfy my little tummy


1 egg- I'll always remember the day when my older brother Tony sat me down and created the craziest story on where eggs came from. Of course being 5 years old I believe everything and anything. The truth in his eyes as he told me the story swallowed me whole. He explained that when the mother hen laid her eggs a baby chick was in there, which is some part true. Ah, he began to tell me that once I crack open the eggs baby chicks were going to fly out of the eggs and try to eat me since I almost tried to cook them. I was so horrified and scared I never wanted to crack open a little egg for as long as I lived

1 teaspoon salt- I have to say I was never a huge fan of salt growing up. I always hated when people poured on the heart attack spice and never asked for it even on my french fries. Just a few years ago my taste buds had re arranged and I openly started taste testing around with the magic crystals that most Americans love and enjoy

3-1/2 cups flour- Me and my cousin Emily were always looking for something creative to get ourselves into when we were younger. My aunt Marie (her mom) makes the worlds best chocolate chip cookies in the world and one day when I came over for a sleepover she wanted to bake cookies with me and Emily. So my aunt left the room to grab something and me and my cousin started dipping out hands in the flower just testing the feeling and I made the courageous move of wiping my dirty white finger on her shirt. I believe it started the World War 3 in the creamy yellow kitchen as too it turned into a winter wonderland. We attacked each other in the battle field of cloudy fog until the shrieking of Aunt Marie busting into the room yelling " WHAT IS GOING ON?!". We all started bursting out laughing and I'll never forget the day.

Cream cheese frosting- Cream cheese has always been such a great thing in my world. I absolutely adore cream cheese frosting its actually my favorite kind. The way it oozes out of the clear package makes my whole mouth crave the whole package and just want to drink it, as crazy as that may sound!

Turn your Inkblot into a Butterfly.

 

High school is a huge change
influence and people cause you to change
people start to let go as some try to hold on

Some have a rough start and fall into
the deep depths of the wrong road
it starts with some missing homework's and
a few low tests

missing school came to be best
dropped grades came in and
your parents say "this isn't something you would do?"

Right then you need to look in the mirror and
really look and ask yourself
where do you want to be where do you want to go?
Pick your self back up and get back on track

Don't let others bring you down
and fall in the cracks
please realize this is the final
steps to the beginning of the rest of your life

In Waterford a state troopers wife Cynthia Gavitt's body was found "a half-mile north of Cohoes Falls on the east shoreline of the river." For a while the body was reported missing all the way up until Tuesday morning where they finally found her on the shoreline. Her body was missing since October 29th of last year.
"Her drowning has been ruled a suicide. Gavitt, who has been missing since Oct. 29, had experienced major medical problems since the beginning of 2011, according to state police." Clearly she had some serious medical conditions that her husband wasn't aware of... "police found her vehicle along Canal Road, just west of the Crescent Bridge and State Route 9 in Halfmoon".

Police claim that her body has no evidence that she was abducted or taken away by any means and they concluded that she did co mitt suicide in the river."There's no indication she was forcibly taken or there was any crime committed."Cynthia was a mother of two children that will be missed very much.


The theme of this article brings a really sad feeling over me because its sad that a mother of two children now are left mother-less and never saw it coming that their own mother would commit such a sad thing to end her life. The text does n;t explain much of the feeling that the family felt but you can tell just by the story that it is

a very depression and sad time for the family that they just discovered their own wife and mothers body in that state.

Growing Older


I nearly forgot to wave goodbye to
I was so excited for what lay ahead
 I was ready to take on anything
 yet you’re not fully ready to live in the adult world, either

 Despite I have yet to fully define who I want to become
this has forced me to pause my life at a time
when my peers are just beginning theirs.
I’m realizing that age is an inextricable component

 I’m not suggesting to rush adulthood
 Little did I know, about my future plans
 it’s difficult to see ahead yourself

 I don’t know what the future holds.
I just know I want to be there.
 and all the rest of the small and big
 milestones that are part of early adulthood.
