Spring break and Baseball!

Hey Yall, sorry I haven't updated in a while, it's just that my life has been so busy (you know, TV, track, caring for my loving possi farm, the usual) that I really just tried to avoid the computer and put this off as long as possible, and I think I was pretty successful, considering this post is about a week late.......... Don't get my wrong, I love writing (or for all the logical people out there TYPING) on my blog but so much keeps happening It's hard to keep up! I mean if I told you about everything in my life I would be sitting here forever! Oh......wait.............what was this post about... OH YEAH BASEBALL!!!!!! OK so last Sunday my daddy took my lovely (but not really lovely) sister Kennedy and I to a spring training game! It took a while to get over there (because it's in the really ghetto part of the city, I saw some of my friends (like Carlos, Juan, Sergio, oh and my main man BOB!) Ha ha ha Just kidding, but seriously............ The stadium is really nice, not at all a stadium that would would expect to find down there, but alas it was, and wasn't going to be moved anytime soon! To bad for all the baseball loving rich people! When we got into the stadium the first thing that hit me was a strong yearning for KETTLE CORN! For all of the people who don't have lives and Have never seen or even tasted kettle corn before (you poor, poor people) Kettle corn is the food of the gods, which explains why I love it, me being a 5'4 beach god in all, we gotta eat the right food to maintain all of our awesomeness. So of course my daddy goes and buys my sister and I soft pretzels (which really weren't soft at all) I went and got some KETTLE CORN! By the time I brought it back to them, the bag was already half gone (sorry but a god has got to eat!) And it didn't take long for my sister and daddy to devour the bag either, I take a second for myself to blink and what do you know, IT'S GONE! After eating all that kettle corn I decided to work on my beach god tan (common, you didn't think we have natural tans did you? Stupid blockbuster creating those stereotypes!) and basically lathered myself in sunscreen! (If you've ever gone swimming with me you know that I usually come back paler than before, but nobody ever gives you an exact amount to put on so I just kinda estimate.... which would explain why I'm such a terrible baker...) But after a while in the sun, all you really want is an ice cold LEMONADE (just like grandma makes!) So Kennedy and I went and got FROZEN LEMONADE! And man is that stuff good, who needs baseball when you've got yourself a big old cup of lemonade (in frozen form) And you may be asking, When is Maddie going to talk about the game? Why is she only talking about food and Sunscreen? Why is her favorite color clear? Well, those are all some mighty fine questions! I'm so proud to have such intelligent blog readers! And since your all so smart, you probably don't want a long explanation to all those questions so I'll just skip to the pictures!

Kennedy and I behind the Field!

The pretty Field!

Me and my daddy!

(and Yes kennedy did Dye her hair, if anyone noticed)

Ok well that's pretty much It, I hpoe yall have a lovley dovely SATURDAY!

The mall, insanely amazing pizza, track, and cleaning

Yup, you heard right, it's spring break! Now for most kids that means partying, friends, and plenty of sleep! I mean kids across America aren't even waking up until 2:00 in the afternoon! All except me....... I mean you know it's spring break when you text your friends at 8 in the morning and don't get a response until 4:00! Luckily my friends are smart and wake up at around noon! So as far as spring break goes, mines been jam packed with awesomeness! The first two official days were spent at the mall, yes the mall, the only place you can see rent-a-cops on segaways, get free air conditioning, buy gum balls from a sneaker store, wave hi to the eater bunny, try on pretty dresses, see a lady fall down an escalator, have 3 people sit in a vibrating chair, fail to get free popcorn, buy gigantic bows and owl themed jewelry, follow a gurney, get free lemonade and lip gloss(with proof of ID of course), and buy 20 cookies for 5 dollars! Sounds like heaven right, well if milk and waffles had been involved it would have been! The first day at the mall was by far the best! We spent most of it just walking around looking for something two do when I spotted to men with a gurney down stairs and had a sudden urge to follow it! when it stopped we saw a an old frail lady sitting on a chair who was kinda bloody. It was pretty scary but strangely amusing. The lady turned out fine, she was able to talk and walk so that was just jolly! The second day wasn't nearly as exciting as the first but it was still pretty swell! We like the first day just aimlessly wandered around, until we went into Claire's. My buddie Abbie was buying some colorful (and very very) overpriced bobby pins, when we saw that these two girls tried to steal something! The girls looked pretty scary (the kind you would expect to steal something, however i'm not someone to judge!) So we kinda just left the store after that because i'm pretty sure they would have busted us up! So the next day my homie Alicia invited me to go to hang out with her and her parents, in which I was like OH YEAH! So once again we went to the mall (sigh) but it was pretty fun! We were there for about an hour then left for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants GRIMALDI'S! The place has the best pizza EVER! If marrying pizza were legal, I'd be walking down the isle right now! After that we went and got ice cream! AWESOME ICE CREAM! It was some pretty awesome possum ice cream! So besides roaming the mall and eating Today and yesterday I went to track practice! I know, Icky right?!!! I practiced my slightly suckish hurdling and actually improved a lot so I'm pretty happy about that.......except for today! Today I came to track with a side ache and it only goes down hill from there! During one of my practice races, my bestest buddie lelly tripped over her hurdle and because I was behind her I got scared and fell over my hurdle and basically face planted on the dirt track (because my school is lame and won't buy us a sponge track) and just about killed myself (in other words I got scraped up on my hands and knees) and so being myself, I sat up and started laughing (I laugh instead of crying, it's better for the soul) and at that point I guess the other hurdlers were pretty confused, so was I until I looked down and saw my knees and hands gushing blood (more like sprinkling ha ha) like there was no tomorrow! Heck I lost so much blood I passed out (blinked) and woke up in a bath tub with my pet panda (pita) Ha ha just kidding! Well, anyways the rest of practice pretty much sucked considering my fatal injury (they offered me a band-aid, but I was like NO MAN showing off my grill and being my gangsta self!) and my side ache! So I guess you could say my spring break has it's ups and downs, like a kick butt roller coaster with not just one, but two upside down loops! (yeah I went there!) OH M GHEE! It's time to feed the garden gnome, (otherwise he gets cocky, and we all know there's nothing worse than a cocky lawn ornament!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KELLY!

OK Kelly, this post is entirely for you, you know why??????????? BECAUSE MARCH 12 WAS THAT MAGICAL DAY WHERE YOU TURN A YEAR OLDER(for all the folks out there who don't know, it's lelly's Birthday)! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WAS ALSO MARCH 12 RIGHT?????!!!!!!!! MY HALF BIRTHDAY! So I guess this makes us birthday buddies! Yet another thing to add onto that endless Buddie list that no one seems to remember because as Alicia would say, "It takes time, caring, AND effort!" Ha ha. Well Kelly, I did everything I possibly could to make your birthday special, I made you a cake (with lots of pretty sparkles!), bought you our favorite cookies, gave you a picture of all of us, and heck I even came to your party! All I know is that was a lot of work....(and singing) But I want you to know that your worth getting covered in frosting and sprinkles, running around to printer stores, yelling at my sister and dad for eating your present and having to get a new one, and trying to figure out how to wrap it all! So with all my heart , I hope you had the awesomepossumest birthday ever and that you enjoy being 13, because your only 13 once you know! PEACE,EDWELLA,LOVE,AND SMILEYS =D =) =P =l

Friends, Videos, and everything in between, Must be a weekend!

ELLO BLOGGERS! Here is yet another indelibly exciting post! (you better hold on to your pants because they're about to be blown away it's so exciting) OK well this weekend I made TWO YouTube videos! Yes I know awfully exciting isn't it??!! I LOVE making videos so whenever I hang out with my friends that's usually what we do (that or steal things............... ha ha just kidding.......but seriously) Anyways well this past weekend I was really REALLY bored so I called up my friend Maggie and asked her to hang out, and you'll never guess what happened.........SHE SAID YES! I was so excited I jumped all the way to mars, said hello to all my amazing martain buddies, (it's strange, I didn't see my evil bus driver there......... oh wells serves her right!) But because gravity hates me and everyone else in the world It sent me hurdling down back to earth. And you may be asking, wouldn't you burn up in the atmosphere? or at the very least breathe in space? Why yes, Yes I would, if I were normal, which we all fairly know I am not. So once I hit earth and landed safely on a woolly mammoth in Africa I rode it all the way to Maggie's house where we made those lovely two videos! So enough typing a more watching. Here are the videos we made!

Here Is the "Today was a Fairytale" Music video by Taylor swift. And yes I had to be the boy in the video............ But it's still a pretty rocking video if you ask me.

Here Is our other video known as "the gerbil" It's kind of supposed to be actiony, but it is about a gerbil, and I have to admit we didn't have the story line, nor any kind of budget for super cool explosions or fake blood, oh darn!

Well I hope yall enjoyed my videos, and if you would like to see more you can stop by www.youtube.com/awesomepossumsocks or www.youtube.com/makegirls

My first track meet!!!!!!

Yay! It finally came, MY FIRST TRACK MEET! I was so excited yesterday I wanted to puke! But thankfully I refrained from doing that........ ha ha Ok, but I was still amazingly excited and I have to admit, a bit nervous. My allergies have been acting up lately and today I lost my voice a little because my throat has been hurting too over the past couple days, I'm thinking it was because I cut milk out of my diet...... I know what your thinking OMG MADDIE WITHOUT MILK????!!!!!!!! HOW DID SHE SURVIVE?????? Well I tell you it wasn't easy. It took all my self control not to ask the lunch lady for a white milk (I dislike chocolate milk) and steer clear of the fridge but I did it! So you can see I wasn't in the best conditions to run, with my allergies and throat hurting but I grabbed some cough medicine and went for it. For the meet my events were 75 meter Hurdles, The 400 (for those of you who don't know track terms, one lap around the track) and a 4x1 relay. My first event was hurdles and I was kinda scared by the altidania (or however you spell it) girls because 1. they were all taller than me, and 2. there were 130 of them!!!!(they have 270+ total, we have about 200 total) , that's almost my whole track team!!!!!!!!!! Apparently they're a really tough team to beat, so let me ask one question WHY THE HECK DID WE HAVE TO GO AGAINST THEM MY 1ST MEET???!!!!!!! They totally just crushed my self esteem!!!!!! (ha ha just kidding) So In hurdles I had to start from the starting blocks (that I've never even seen before) and so I felt like I was going to fall, what a great way to start a race????!!!!! Anyways I managed to get out of the blocks (successfully) and began my race. Now my hurdle form is no where near perfect, but being very new to them I'd say I'm pretty good. So I jumped over the first, second, and third hurdles and that's when I realized OH CRAP, I'M GOING TO LOOSE! However I did manage to come in 2nd to last! Yay?? But at least I wasn't last, right?! Ok so after that I got some cool down time and watched my friend Abbie do her 100 race and Kelly do high jump, which was really cool to see, and made me realize how talented my friends really are! Ha ha ha ha ha! But then it was time for Relays, yet another event I'm no good at. :) My team was me (I started) my friend Maddi, and two eighth graders named Emma and Jenna. Well In this race I also had to start from blocks, Ha ha I hate those things......... Ok so I started off great in the race, I had my arms pumping, my legs um.......moving.........ok I should just say I'm sprinting. Ok so I get down to the hand off place and there's someone who's NOT MADDI IN MY LANE! It was a girl named Teryn, who is from aprende but not from my relay team! So I was All confused and after about 7 seconds of standing around asking why she was there I just gave her the stick and let her run. In other words we lost. It turns out, they switched my team last second and didn't even tell me, GEE THANKS! I can't even tell you how mad I was! So my first relay race was an EPIC FAILURE! And my 400 race was no better! OK can I say one thing...... I HATE 400's! I honestly have no idea how to pace my self. Don't know if I should sprint half or run half, for all I know I should've had an ice cream sandwich in my mouth! I started from the blocks, again.....Sigh, looks like I'm going to be seeing those blocks a lot............. So I was in my blocks and feeling confident, I hear the On your mark, from my coach Cynthia, SET, and I raise my self up, and seconds go by and NO GUN! Apparently the gun wouldn't fire, and so i set my self down (because crouching like that is incredibly uncomfortable!) and what do you know THE GUN FIRES! I was kinda behind so I started sprinting and by the time I was halfway around the track, I wanted to die. I wanted to just fall over and die. But of course, I have to be smart and keep running! I started to slow down and then I heard foot steps behind me and thought OH NO! THERE'S NO WAY YOUR GONNA WIN! I was NOT going to finish last! NO WAY! So all of a sudden I found some energy and tried my hardest to finish and I did. Not First place but certainly not last! So I guess you could say I was kinda proud. Anyways I think yall have had enough of me talking so it's picture time!!!!!!! So here are the pictures from my very first track meet!
Me walking over to the hurdles with abbie!





Look at me go! I look like I'm flying.....

Ok well I'd say my first track meet was a sucess. I learned a lot and I know what to expect now which I think will really help me in my next race! (well, Hopefully) I've got miles to go, but I'm going to have fun getting there!

My Super Fabulous Day........... With Taylor Swift!

OK well this weekend I was awfully bored so I decided to contact my home girl Taylor Swift, she's been wanting to hang out with me for a while and because of my Oh-so busy schedule, we haven't got around to it. So today, with my super cool shiny phone, I called her and asked her to hang out. Taylor totally freaked out, like she was starstruck or something.............. Oh the effect I have on people, it's amazing. Anyways, my personal typist, Finny, hand is cramping up so I guess it's time to show the pictures of my awesome possum day!PEACE,EDWELLA,LOVE,AND SMILEYS =D =) =P =

A field trip, what fun!

Ello bloggers, welcome to the only blog that reduces cholesterol, and keeps kitties litter box smelling fresh all day! OK well this past Friday my "pod" went on a field trip to the Arizona living history museum, and had an absolute blast! The bus ride was about an hour away from my school, so the teachers let us bring our ipods and cell phones, which i thought was awesome until I got to school and realized that I'd forgotten my phone at school! So while everyone on the bus texted I listened to my ipod, and sang along to every Miley Cyrus song on my ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha Who needs a cell phone when you can annoy people by singing Hannah Montana songs????!!!!!!!!! Well anyway, once we got there we all hoppeing the socd off the bus and got into our groups, mine of which consisted of people i didn't know, but beial butterfly I am, I made it work. One of my group members was also crippled from jumping off a wall, and because our field trip required lots of walking they got her a wheelchair for the day. It took us longer to see things but I still had a lot of fun. I even pushed Jessica (the cripple) around, until i almost pushed her into a cactus, on accident of course (or was it ha ha). Anyways, here are some of the pictures I took!


Jessica (the cripple) and Caitlyn!

My friend Rachel!

Abbie on her phone, ha I love that kid!

Ryan wearing Jessie's hat, that he stole, from Jessie!

Abbie and I were taking a picture, and well
Ryan decided he wanted to be in it at last minute......
Thanks, ryan!

Caitlyn and I doing our action poses!

The amazing peacock that chased a squirrel eating
it's peacock food!

Caitlyn and I, again!

The bakery, that had a haberdashery, a place that
sells men's buttons, shoes, and belts!(we laughed so hard because
on Icarly, Nevel wanted to open a haberdashery, but we never thought that
was a real thing until now!)

The bakery, that people told us we could get food
at but, once we arrived, saw they were lying to us!
It was just a boring building!

Ha ha I love this sign........


My group on the trail.
