Ok well hehe a little tip for you all who like soft acne free skin! Baking soda and charcoal! Yes lol As you can see below I heard that baking soda helps with acne because it causes you skin to go back to the proper PH level. Charcoal now draws out toxins and such that cause acne. So ya.. I am testing it out! Its helping a little I ran out of baking soda though! Um plus im trying to chil with the dairy because of all the extra hormones and junk.. Let me tell you THAT IS HARD I LOVE ME SOME CHEESE! Oy! Any way moving on…. This may come to a shock to you all but… I NOW OWN A DRESS! lol I have not owned a dress (other then for Pride and prejudice Play) since i was like 7 or something. Unfortunately the thing is to dang short! I am not walking out of the house without wearing some leggings underneath it. I just need to get some! Wonder how green would look? Lol like the color of your green sneakers Kasie! hahahah! Maybe not with this dress but with another? hmmm! I still need to get me some of those crazy checkered knee high socks! Well now you all know what to get me for Christmas! Checkered knee highed socks or leggings! (Size 10 or 12) The some cropped and or full length leggings but I would prefer cropped. lol

So Confuzzled!
by Joy on Aug.12, 2009, under Random
I am soooo confused! There are to many sites out there for printing and selling t-shirts so on so forth….. I have been to over 10 sites in the past hour reading up on who has the best quality printing and so on.. ITS CONFUSING! I dont know who to pick! Or if I should be on several different sites… Whatever… Pray I find the right one and do well with that! In the mean time this one site seems pretty Big and bad So I submited my design there and I need you guys to help me score it and get it printed! If it is accepted I get 2000 dollars! It must not be easy to make it because thats a big chunk of change!
So you cant vote yet but soon when they accept it for submission you can vote and score it to help me out. If it scores high enough it will be printed! So dont just vote spread it around and have others you know vote too please!

PA Vacation
by Joy on Aug.03, 2009, under Photography, The Rest of my Life
FINALLY I KNOW! Yes Finally I am posting about my vacation 3 weeks ago to Pennsylvania. So it was only the weekend but it was ONE PACKED weekend! We were in the care MOST of the days driving from place to place! AT least 20 hours in a cramped car with a big honken water bottle between my legs! Not comfortable! Any way So here is what we did…
Ok so Friday afternoon we left and went down to somewhere on the Delaware River for some mild white water rafting. And I do mean VERY mild! Hardly any white water at all! but there were some parts. Any way Did take a chance of taking my camera just in case. It was unfortunate too because there were some really pretty scenes too! Like a waterfall… But as you will see later I had my fill of waterfalls that week! The funnies thing of the whole ride though….. Hilarious… You see there was this big “bubble” in the water. Now mind you I, who was in the back steering, could not see to well in front of us. Specially right in front of us. So we ended up going over this “bubble” as my aunt called it. It turns out to be a rock a VERY large honking rock! So there we are in the middle of the Delaware river not to many people around because we were late in going and we had stopped on shore for a quick dip and stuff previously to that… So were stuck on this big honking smooth rock! “Rock the boat dont tip the boat baby..” We tried that… Didnt work…. Meanwhile my aunt fell backwards off her seat and is laying on her back in the middle of the raft cant get up.. Mom is screaming “No one get out of the boar” “Everyone stay in the boat” Grandma Kelly Completely ignoring her half outa the boat trying to push us off.. Mom screaming “MOTHER!” Lol it was HILARIOUS Finally I got up and went to the front of the boat (after Nancy got up and outa my way…) Got out of the boat and stood on the rock (OH ya POWER) It actually took a few shoves! We were really stuck! So finally i pushed us off and literally dove back into the raft! Which was not necessary in the end because the current didnt take it as fast as i thought it would. But it was funny! We were laughing for about 10 minutes after that! I was like “that was so awesome!” lol Any way So that was that. Then there was the times when we went over the mild white waters and mom was screaming for no reason! Funny! lol “Dont crash into the bridge!” “watch out for those rocks!” mean while we are like 10 feet from them! Funny!
When that was over we headed south for our hotel! After stopping for dinner at a restaurant and taking the wrong exit which led to the hotel anyway we finally go there at…. THE HILTON! OH yaaaa I felt rich! Yup we stayed in a Hilton! Before bed we went in the hot tub AND the pool That was nice! I loved that hot tub! Some of the jets were so powerfull it pushed you half way accross the tub if you didnt hang on! But back to the room Unfortunately all the queens were taken so we got stuck in a room with 2 full sized beds…(But we had a large flat screen!) I couldn’t sleep that night! Trying to squeeze 2 not so small people in a full sized bed comfortably not easy! I woke up like every hour after going to bed like 1 and like 4 I woke up and COULD NOT get back to sleep! It was one hot two crowded 3 people were snoring loud so 4 i tried listening to my new CD to drown the other sounds out…. but i kept thinking the words in my head along with the song… Usually music helps me sleep or doesn’t do anything at all… just plays but it didnt work this time.. Finally after kicking the bed and disturbing mom lol I got up tossed the quilt, that had already practically been kicked off the bed, on the floor grabbed a pillow and layed down at the foot of the bed…. and cried myself to sleep! lol Then woke up again like 6 AGAIN and eventually after mom got up I got in the bed and “rested” until every one else had gotten ready or out of the shower. The next night was much better though! Probably because I was so tired from not sleeping the night before and doing all the running around plus we put the ac on low.
Any way enough of my unfortunate sleep that one night… Saturday we set out for the Padre Pio Center. If your not Catholic or dont study or know about Catholic ….stuff…. lol you probably wont know who he is… well here.. Wikipedia him! lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pio_of_Piet…
Basically he is known for his stigmata and healing and miracles! He had the wounds in his hands if your wondering… Its interesting stuff… I believe it to be true too. I just wish I had a better scene of the spiritual world and such… But any way I spent most of my time as usual taking pictures of things… Oh and this was some site there was a very large biker group that came! It was so funny to see a gang of like 30 Russian bikers with their cameras and all taking picture and hugging the priest! lol My only question… WHY was the priest wearing black! He looked like a nazgool or something! All he needed was the hood! lol And he sure liked to hug… I ran outa there before he came after me! Any way so then we had a quick lunch and set off for Lancaster!
Now Lancaster the city of Lancaster any way is not too nice looking! It just as ghetto as Po town up here! We were shocked to see this. But we finally did get to the area for tourists and we did see a few Amish Mennonites and buggies around! Unfortunately we were to late to see any gift shops but we ate in the last open restaurant/inn/buffet thing…. OMB! (Oh my bob) THAT WAS SOME GOOD FOOD! All was home cooked im sure of it! Man IT WAS GOOD! Stuffing and mashed potatoes and turkey and gravy and sweet potatoes and creamed corn and oh it was good! lol And Apple crisp YUM! The only thing that wasn’t good was the chocolate pudding.. lol but that could have been because i had to scrape the pan to get some! If you are ever in that area Remember “Bird-In-Hand Family Inn” (The restaurant part of it) Thats the place to try!
Then we left for the … about 3 hour drive back to the Hotel. I got to fiddle around with the GPS Those are nifty things indeed! I am a pro at it now! Any way… Finally got back to the Hotel like 11. Slept fine that night!
Next day we packed up to go and on our way home stopped at Crystal Cave! Yes another cave! This one i cot some decent picture in though! I also added to my collection of visors from vacation! And after that we went home! After some looking around in gift shops in Stroutsburg or whatever the place was called… The rest of the week we did various little things at home! But wednesday Mom and I drove BACK down to Bushkillfalls! A collection of waterfalls in PA Not much needs to be said about the trip sept that i drove half way there and half way back… Drove mom crazy! lol No pun intended and the hike was quite a hike! For mom any way! and I to dont like going up steps that steep and that many! But I say it was worth it! NOW FINALLY PICTURES!
They are scrambled all about sorry about that this thing does strange things to the ordering… but the photographic ones are at the end…
Oh i also forgot to mention ringing rocks we also when to this place called well… Ringing Rocks and because of like oh i dont know some scientific reason magnetics or soemthing.. THe rocks wen you bang on them have different tones! They ring like some kind of instrument! its cool! any way ya….
