\invisible\

Hmm...if I could be invisible for uno horas, I would do a number of things. I'd probably try to give our school a 30-minute makeover and change the colors of our halls. Pink and green* would look way better in our classrooms!! With the rest of my time, I would attempt to pick on Brady and Kye as much as I could. They could use a little payback for all those years.** I would also go find my parents---> my mother deserves a good scare for all those times she's scared the life outta me---> and my daddy needs someone to pick on HIM for once. :]

{-dear santa-}

Dear Santa,
I think I've been a pretty good girl since we talked last, and I hope you think so too! I'm not asking for much this year, but high on my list would be a total water-proof/resistant phone. I've had a [few little incidents], as you probably already know, and I would love to know that the next time I drop my phone in 'water' that it'll come back to me!!* I would also love to have some new clothes and shoes, as always! I'm also asking you to please remember my brother, even though he can be a total stinker sometimes. I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!!

See you soon,
kacy lynn

** the 1920s.

If I could go back in time and visit a different era, I would go back to the "Roaring Twenties."

*************************************************************************************
The automobile* was invented during this era. Movies also became more popular now that people had better transportation. Movie sales and attendance began to soar, as well as the listening to of radios. Yet I think the thing I love the most about the 20s era is the fashion and style. I think of the Flappers when hearing about this age. The Flappers' image was accomplished by making drastic changes to the way women dressed, especially at that time. Flappers wore make-up and even applied it in public. Dresses that they wore stopped at the knees, and the hip lines were lowered. The cloche hat became an every day necessity, which usually came down to your eyebrows.*

My mother is the person that inspires me the most. She is one of the strongest Christians I know, and has the best outlook on life. She constantly has a -smile- on her face and is always looking for ways to make me laugh. My mom is my number one go-to person when I face problems, because I know she'll always have a positive answer. I love how she is always understanding and caring, and how she always finds time to just listen. She loves little kids, and it amazes me how God blessed her, as well as many others, by giving her the job of playing with them all day long! She motivates me in a way that makes me push myself to become a better person. My mother is my inspiration!*

.: taks :.

The TAKS test is a test taken every year by students in the state of Texas. I honestly have no alternative to taking the TAKS test. Personally, I do not care for it at all, yet I believe it has good benifits for the state. By taking the test, the state of Texas is given a way to make sure that we are all doing our "jobs." I have no idea how they could get away without it, unfortunately.

...of all the places*

Of all the places in the world to visit... if I had the opportunity, I would love to take a trip to Paris, France. When I think about Paris, I think about {romance}, //rain//, and *fashion...all three of which interest me. Paris is known as the world capital city of shopping and fashion. I can't even imagine spending an entire day shopping and strolling the streets of Paris, France. I'm also dying to get to see the Eiffel Tower up close. Pictures of the Eiffel Tower already draw my attention...but there would be nothing better than actually seeing it. The thing I would love the most about traveling to Paris would be getting to witness French architecture and design. I've always loved the styles and colors used in France because they create a sense of *elegance. Paris...here I come!!

--> in my own words.

As we all know, Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States. Honestly, I really don't know what to think about this. From tuning into my parents conversations, I've heard that he is wanting to take the troops out of Iraq. He has made it clear that that is what he is wanting to do first. Whether this be good for America or bad, I really can't say. I've also learned that he is wanting to make it more fair for the middle class Americans when it comes to taxes. If I understand correctly, Obama is wanting the wealthier to pay higher taxes than those in the middle class, who probably work harder for their money. I think we'll all just have to wait and see if Barack really follows through with the ideas he's had for a better America.

*halloween.night.

I'm not much of the Halloween type, it's not my favorite time of year...but there is one Halloween night I will never forget. Our class gathered together for a costume party and scavenger hunt at Hayden's house when we were in 8th grade. Bailey and I were dressed up as *spa girls, with hot pink robes and "avocado masks" on our faces. The fun all began thou when we went our seperate ways for the scavenger hunt. [Mrs. Hill] was our driver...and all I remember was Brady gulping down a d.p. and trying to burp as loud as he could. Our group made it back to Hayden's house first and -won- ...only after Mrs. Hill almost killed us by taking all the back roads and missing the turns. We sure had fun thou!!*

[[forgiving]]

"Not forgiving someone is like drinking the poison and waiting for the other man to die."

I totally agree with this statement. By choosing not to forgive someone we are only hurting ourselves. Like the statement above, not forgiving someone is like poison to our body. We tend to want the other person to hurt. Stalling forgiveness only eats us up from the inside out, like poison. This statement reminds me of Colossians 3:13. It says, "...forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." If someone hurts you, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately. They must prove themselves first, and earn your trust back. Trust has to do with future behavior, while forgiveness has to do with letting go of the past. Forgiveness, therefore, must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. But...trust must be rebuilt over time.*

-wealthy and ugly? or poor and beautiful?-

If I had to choose between being wealthy and ugly or poor and beautiful, I would definitely pick poor and beautiful. I believe true beauty comes from within, and that being wealthy does not determine how beautiful you are. Knowing that your beauty comes from the inside will make you carry yourself with more confidence and will allow you to shine*. This will also allow you to show your true self. Qualities like these can not be bought with money.
