I am sitting here watching the Wizards of Waverly Place and I can't stop giggling! This show cracks me up with its one-liners and crazy nonsense. I LOVE IT!

Its Been a While

So it has been a while since I've posted anything. Since July 22nd, a few things have happened.
1. I made it back from North Carolina safe and sound. I had a great time with the Sheppards. Krysta and Steven taught me how to do the Cotton Eye Joe Line dance!

2. I went to a soccer tournament. As many of you know, I dont watch or play soccer. This picture should sum up why I went:

(For those who don't get the concept of "Window Shopping" when it comes to boys... You look but dont touch. Came up with that on my own)

3. I made new Friends at this Soccer Tournament. Amazing, I know. Veronica Ray has friends!

Patty and Scotty

Matt

4. I took some Alice in Wonderland pictures. These two are my favorites:

This one is where Alice meets the Catepillar

5. I got a job! I'm now a hostess at The Boundary House in Calabash, NC. Ken Vogel, who went around with me to apply for jobs, basically got me the job. He'd worked there for 3 years and "put in a good word." I like it alot already. Everyone is very nice, and I've already made some new friends.

6. I got my film developed! Yay for Film! Now I just need some more film to take more pictures. Here are some of my favorites from the collection:

Wittle Cowey

Theo!!

I was spinning in my dress

Nose Ring AND Headphones

Oh Ronald

THE R

That is basically what my life has been since July 22nd. The End. Of this post. Not of this blog.

North Carolina

Today I am headed to North Carolina with the Sheppard family! I still don't know exactly where in North Carolina we are going but that's ok with me. Just makes it more of an adventure!

Tan Lines

So I went to the beach yesterday with some kids. I was definitely one of the whitest when we got there. But by the end of the day I was all tan and hot! :) haha Mom don't read that part. But i have this tan line from my new bathing suit and I am going back to the beach today, but with a different bathing suit because the other one is dirty. Its going to be silly looking because its a different style bathing suit. Oh well :) I'll just get new tan lines hahaha

Driving.

So I drove Bethmom's car tonight to pick up the boys from ODPC. First of all Bethmom's Jeep is ALOT different than the VW and the Mazda I was driving in Minnesota. The gas is alot more sensitive and the steering is kinda funny. We were pulling out of the Wendy's parking lot after getting Frosties for everyone and Sweet Tea for me and I had to cross 4 lanes of traffic because I needed to be on the far left side of the road so I could turn left. At one point there was a gap and Bethmom yelled "Gun it!" but I couldnt do it! I chickened out. But the next one came and I was like Wham! made it all the way across and everyone in the car cheered. I was proud :)
Second of all, Going to ODPC was also an adventure. I think I saw 2 people I knew. One of them called me Victoria. I kinda recognized her. I don't know her name though. Heh. Muh Bad.
Don't you just hate that?! When someone knows you and then you don't know them. And then you feel bad because they took the time to know your name but you have no earthy idea what their is. I always feel bad and then I go out of my way to remember their name so it doesn't happen again.

Well.. My sweet tea is waiting for me. Adios.

Waking Up.

I do not enjoy when you plan on sleeping in really late and you wake up 2 1/2 hours early.

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Right now Facebook is being really stupid. So I decided to write a blog.

So I have had my tattoo for a week officially. Only one more week until I can actually go swimming and I cannot wait! I love swimming too too much. I probably planned the wrong time to get the tattoo but oh well :) I love it and I am willing to wait another week. I actually already have a pretty nice tan lines from the band aids we put on to keep it out of the sun. It's pretty funny to see.

That is all for tonight. I am headed off to the land of dreams. G'night.

Sincerely, Veronica Mckenzie Ray

Cube Crash

Over the past day I have been attempting to beat a Miss MEghan Hinds at Cube Crash. It's one of those games that you click on the boxes of the same colors and it gets rid of them and if you don't clear enough boxes you lose. I have only succeed in beating her score once. Then ten minutes later she comes back and blows my score out of the water! I will beat you Meghan and Cube Crash. I will make it past level 4 and I will win!

Sincerely, Veronica

The First Post

So the Post below this one says its from March or Something. Thats because thats when I started this blog and I just edditted the first post. So really Today is July 11, 2010 and I made that post at roughly 8:30 p.m.

Leaving

I am back in South Carolina. And I am extatic(?) about it. I love the sun and the ocean and the beach. It a totally different feel than Minnesota.

Just so every one knows I didn't HATE Minnesota. I just hated the stupid cold and the stupid snow. And the fact that there wasn't an ocean/body of water that wasn't fresh water. But leaving Minnesota was a lot harder than I expected. Okay, maybe not leaving the STATE of Minnesota, but leaving the people. I'm definitely missing Grace and Courtney and the movie nights in the Brown's basement.

The trip down to South Carolina was pretty uneventful. The first day we drove from Rochester, Minnesota to Frankfort, Kentucky. I say thats pretty darn good. We left at 820 ish in the morning and were in Frankfort by 830 p.m. For this trip the car was significantly bigger so my legs didn't hurt as much. The next day started out alot more exciting than the first day. We were supposed to get a wake up call from the hotel at 6 a.m. but we still aren't sure if that happened. For some miraculous reason I woke up at 7 (that never happens). I got out of bed, woke up Bethmom and we were on our way by 745. The first hour of the drive I had to sleep on a stuffed giraffe because we had only two pillows and the boys had commandeered(?) those. Thats about as interesting as it got. Oh! I also learned that big headphones are not enjoyable to sleep with. The last stretch to NMB I think I mass texted everyone I knew at the beach. Then I sent a picture to all the important people not at the beach with my feet in the ocean. Haha Suckers.

Oh my goodness I almost forgot the most important thing!! I left oily lotion marks on the seat of the car from MY NEW TATTOO. I tried to post a picture but it was being stupid so I will later. The tattoo is also kinda a hassle right now. I have a whole nother week before I can get in the ocean or pool. Or the sun. Right now I have a very nice tan line from the bandaids I put over it. It's reall classy.

For all you Minnesotans/Northerners reading this I have already been made fun of for my Northern accent. I guess I really do over pronounce my O's and A's. But I have a feeling that will soon change.

Thats all I have for today Folks.
