today is a special day because my baby sister is 11. I cannot believe it. I'm a little bit depressed. :P But anyway, compass was today and I had great fun. <3. Tomorrow is the harvest party and I am so siked. <3 that's all I have to say.
here are pics from my oh so interesting life. http://picasaweb.google.com/becky.lindsay.mac/Today?authkey=Gv1sRgCKS4iazqs6D0Aw#
btw: just to clear up with you all that I now realize I referred to the really nice guy that helped me put my contacrts on as a hygentist. And I now realize I was not at a dentist office. So technically he was nothing of the sort. So sorry. My brained was just a bit fried at the moment.
Thanks for reading.

15
Today was a good day. I would rate it a 7 out of 10. I did school, did more school and got my contacts! YAY! I got there and they were all nice and like asking me questions and wishing me a happy b-day. And I got this really sweet nice hygentist guy which made my day. :D Once I was done all of their tests and stuff (some of them were not fun. Like the eye puff one, they shoot air in your eye and tell u not to blink, yah try it) I was ready for my fitting. So the really nice hygentist guy taught me how to put on contacts. Except I couldn't get them on. I tried for over a half hour and the poor guy is just sitting there giving me advice. He was like, "It helps if you try not to blink." Right. I didn't notice that. I must have super sensitive eyes or something. :P But after about 40 mins (yes it took that long) I finally got them in. Then I went and we got new glasses (for reading) and me and Mom walked around the mall and I tried on prom dresses at Boscov's. I wish I had a prom to go to. That would be fun. But anyway, once we got home we made dinner and my grandparents and aunt and uncle came over. Ems was like the life of the party (not that there was a party) She was cracking jokes all over the place that were hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing until she re-stated on she told a couple days ago. "Becky, I really appreciate you, I learn a lot from you. I just do everything you don't!" She is to smart-allicky for her own good. :P <3 that child. But after that me and kt took pics and now I am writing this post and after it I am going to bed cuz I have loads of school tomorrow. (yes, life still goes on ever tho u don't want it too) So hope you all enjoyed my boring post and are having a good week

fashion
Ok so I am (hopefully) going fabric shopping this weekend!!! SO siked. Anyway, I am debating what sort of fabrics to get cuz I do have sort of a tiny-meenie budget and i can't exactly get everything I would like to get! So I am looking to you readers for fashion advice. I have all these clothing ideas swirling in my head and I don't know which I should start with. I am thinking I could make a smart Christams dress, or maybe a cute Sunday dress, or should I go all our and just do an over-the-top fashionable dress I would never have occasion to wear??? I was going to draw out all my ideas and post them along with this post but I have NO time for that so I just looked at some of my favorite store websites (Ae, Anthrapologie, Target..) and found some stuff similar to what I was planning on making.. so here are some pics and my notes/ critique :D
So I like this one but I would make it not in black, and I'd most likely choose a fabric that's not stretchy, more like a cotton rather than a spandaxy-silk. Or whatever u would call this?? I really love the pleats on it ho, and the detail on the top.
I really <3 this dress. I was planning on doing something like this, a baby-doll v-neck w/ buttons. But obviously I'd have to make it modest (i'd probly make it a higher cut, or do some kind of other fabric to cover the assets)
This is the Christmas dress I was talking about. This particular one doesn't look that christamsy but if I did decided to do something like this I'd probly put some red in it somewhere and make it higher. (so i wouldn't be in cleaveland city) I'm not sure about straps tho, I might just get a sweater to go over it or something.
Ok, so this is my least favorite out of all of them. I like the idea a ton, but how they made this one just fits all wrong. Anyway, this is something I'd like wear I don't know where but I think it's cute and fashionable and be fun to make. :D
So please ppl, I need advice!!! I am torn between which dress to make!!! help??

funness
I know that that is not a word, but who said I can't make up own words? I mean, this is my blog, right? So i'm posting about my life. I probly won't be posting at all this week cuz school loves to take up all my time. :P So i'll waste the free time I have now doing a post. :P
on Friday Mom went on a prayer retreat so we sort of did ahhemm math and called it a day. We then wasted the rest of the day eating junk food and watching movies. (the junk food wasn't that junky tho) It was the best. :P Us girls (me, kt and Ems) stayed till like 1:30. On Sat, I woke up at 12. (<3 doing that) and cleaned the house and did chores and all that jazz. Then Mom came home and we went to the Haye's for pizza and then went to cc. I love God so much. :D He is so faithful. And it was lot's of fun playing find the glowsticks in the dark. Or whatever you would want to call that. Then, Emma and Martha slept over and we did toning exercises and talked. :D (<3 those girls) On Sun, they came to church w/ us and me and Martha served for like a 1/2 hour then they kicked us out cuz we weren't needed. But it worked out cuz Martha wanted to see the message anyhow. So after that we dropped the girls off home, ate lunch, and then Dad taught me how to use a nail gun and electric saw. I think I enjoy it a little to much. It is seriously very entertaining. For the rest of the afternoon I help Dad build this trailer/hay ride thing we are making for our Harvest get together. :D It is turning out to be really heavy tho (we added benches on it) so we might not be able to use it. :( Ah well. After that, me and Dad rode up to Havertown (what was supposed to be a 40 min drive turned into a 2 hr one) and bought a trampoline that someone was selling off craigslist! It is like legit big and fun and big. I can't wait to use it!!! Then we all went out to dinner at the Cheescake factory as a family with a gift card Dad got for being the function support leader. I <3 cheesecake as all of you should know so I was in my glory. They had at least 30 flavors. :D wow is right. So now I am back home and stuffed full of cheesecake. I would be jumping on the trampoline to burn the calories, but we haven't set it up yet hence there being no light outside and it being freezing. Me and the girls decided to wake up at 6 tomorrow to put it up tho. :D
So that is my life as of now.... oh yes and the Phillies are winning their game 6-0!!!! :D I usually hate baseball (football players are so much cuter) hehe jk. But I am watching because they r doing well.
p.s. Hopefully I'll be posting some sewing stuff soon... I am waiting to go fabric shopping and then I am planning on making myself a dress. :D
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. :D

My weekend (so far)
Well I thought you'd all like to hear about how interesting my weekend was. (or is so far) O know you are probly thinking, "Why the shizzle is Becky posting two posts in a day? What is her Problem?" My explanation for that is I am waiting for my laundry to get done and I have time to kill. So bear with me, I promise this will be interesting.
So it all started out on Friday, when Martha came over. lot's happened but I decided to share just one very dramatically inticing story. :) So we were having a normal time (this is like at 4:30 in the afternoon) and Mom and Kt weren't some, and Dad was at work, so Me and M's were watching Emily. We had just finished making dinner (we had pizza) and me and Martha went outside to talk for a little bit. EMily was in a really good mood and was being annoying so of course I was totally being mean and snapping at her. After talking to Martha, I called Ems out (Em's is Emily, M's is Martha) out to apoligize to her. So she comes out and then all the sudden her eyes become as big as saucers and she is like "OH NO!!!" Me and M's were like what is wrong Emily, and she's like "I locked all the doors!" Apparently she was 'playing a trick' on us and decided to lock us out of the house but it wasn't till she came outside and shut the door she realized she locked herself out too. So Everyone was panicking and I was trying to act like a normal, calm, mature babysitter. (and failing) I might mention we didn't have a phone, and we still had to put the pizzas in the oven before Mom got home. So I go around the house and start checking the windows. Wonder of wonders, they are ALL locked! Then I remember that I had opened out bedroom window to throw out a stink bug earlier. So I propose the idea of getting a ladder and climbing up through that window. Martha, being the smart person she is, said absolutely not Becky, forget it. Emily was still all panicky and was just following whatever M's said. So I decided I have a decision to make. I could either climb up through our window or wait two hours till Mom got home. If you know me, you know that I went straight to the garage and started pulling out Dad's gigantic ladder. It was like a million pounds but the girls wouldn't help me cuz they were still trying to convince me not to do it. I eventually got the ladder up and started climbing when I sort of felt it slipping (dont worry, i didn't die) So I make the girls hold it (they hadn't been before cuz they were all freaked out) then I started up again. I must admit, it was very scary especially when you get to the top and have to lean over to try and open the window. It's not a fun experience. But anyway, I ended up getting in the window and we were all happy and thrilled and I kept thinking how stupid what I just did was, and how irresponsible it was, and how it could have turned out very badly. And then dad get's home and we tell him, and he's like "good job!" I was a little dissappointed he wasn't flaber-ghasted I would do such a stupid thing (he knows me to well) But oh well. So that is my incredibly dramatic story. It was a little more dramatic when it happned, now it seems sort of boring but I wrote about it anyway.
Gosh I have already written a book and my laundry is probly done, so I should go. But before I go I just want to apoligize to Phoebe!!!!! I'm sooo sorry I killed your hand. It was totally my fault. cries. Please forgive. :P I'm so darn clumsy I like kicked her hand doing a flip on the trampoline; Not a fun experience. Anyway I really need to go get my laundry. Thanks for reading?

Friends Friday...
Well I know its Saturday but I am posting what I couldn't yesterday. I only have time for one friend right now. :( But the others will be coming asap. Prob next week. :)
Rachael Pope.
Well, most of you don't know this girl but let me tell you, she is one of the very best examples in my whole entire life. No joke. She lives for God, not herself, she strives to bless and honor others, and is always the first one to give up. I've known her since I was about 7 or 8. We were next-door neighbors at our old house. I can remember the first time I met her. Me and Kt were taking turns on the scooter and it was Kt's turn and Rach was swinging on her swingset out back. Kt told me she'd give me a turn on the swing if I went up and said hi to her. I was a very shy little girl at the time, so I did one of those 'hi's' where the person doesn't here you and then went back to scootering. Later that day (or week or something) she invited us over her house to see her birds. It was very awkward at first but then we became amazing friends and have been very close ever since. (Rach and kt, i know I probly got this story all mixed up, please don't kill me) But back to how great she is :D... there are so many things I could say, but since this paragraph is long already, I'm just gonna say I have learned alot from this girl and I continue to every day! <3 you rach! Anyway in the... hold on.. hmmm..... 7 years I've known Rachael you can imagine we've had some fun times. :) Just to pick a few... Creepy Mr. Calvy, syrup in the snow, rollerblading, walking up to old sproul, breaking my collarbone, her B-day paries, almost all-ngiht sleep-overs and many more that are to hilarious to explain in one post. :)
Thanks fore reading. :) <3

excuses excuses
Well I know my posts have been getting more and more boring. It's not my fault, as of now I lead a very boring life. Actually, not really. But anyway, I am posting right now to give an excuse. I have a bible quiz meet on Saturday (don't feel like explaining) and I have to study all day tomorrow (yipes) and Marth is sleeping over tomorrow night ( :D ) so if I don't get to do my 'friends friday' tomorrow, please forgive. Not that anyone who is reading this cares, but i thought i might as well say something. Just cuz. Then again, if I do get to do my friends post thing this would be useless. But let's not go there right now. I'm rambling. Thanks for reading, although you most likely could be using your time more wisely. Just like I (coughcough) could.
