Betty is Back!!!

Tonight after school and visiting with my aunt and cousin i came home and watched the first episode of the new Ugly Betty at 8:00. It took me a while to get into this show because there was so much going on but i'm so excited its back for another season. I love Betty's crazy clothes and the people she works with.

Happy 20th Birthday Kasey!!

My 20th birthday

Today i turned 20 years old!! At 11:02 i was born at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. My mom said that one of the nurses came in after i was born and said that Lucielle ball had just passed away. She died in the same hospital on the same day as my birth. My parents debated calling me Lucy but they didn't. I love Lucy and my mom has all the seasons on DVD. Today I went to lunch at the Cheesecake factory in Marina Del Rey with my parents.

To celebrate my 20th birthday i bought myself a really cool frame with the saying featured on the top right. I looked all over for this piece of art and finally found it on sale. I'm going to put it in my room.

Imagined a different world.

Jumped for joy

Kicked a soccer ball

Rented a movie

Shopped till I dropped

Talked for hours

Used an umbrella

Vacuumed

Won at bowling

Xray- Fed Meghan's fish 

Yelled across the street

Zapped food in the microwave

   I was bored tonight and i was reflecting

 my year of being 19.

Zac attack with a side of birthday extravaganza!!!

Today my friends and I went and saw 17 again, with my favorite boy, Zac Efron, to start off my birthday weekend. The movie was filmed at my old high school so it was fun to see our old buildings, classrooms and hallways. We had lunch before and i got birthday presents from my buddies. 

Vitamin water really does make you focus!!!!

I got the results for two tests that i took before spring break and i got B's. I got a B on a math test. I think its a real miracle. I also got a B on my test in my history of women class. I drank focus vitamin water while i was taking the test. It worked and its better than smart water. I'm really excited about getting two grades and know that this is just the beginning.

Happy earth day!!!!

Flower Fields with Christy and our moms

Today we went to carlsbad, near San Diego to go see the flower fields. The flowers were in 100% in bloom. We went with Christy and her mom and my mom. My mom brought her big camera. We went to Ruby's Diner and had milk shakes and food. We took a lot of pictures and then Christy and I went to the outlet mall for a little while, but didn't see anything. 

Story time: I don't know how to turn off my ipod player and since last week was my spring break, i turned my alarm to go on later, right before 11 o'clock. Today i had my ipod in my player and forgot that the alarm would go off. My dad was still home when my ipod player went on and he heard this weird circus music, which was three dog night coming from my ipod. He got scared and thought that there was a circus going on in my room. He unplugged my ipod player and it still went on with the annoying music. He then pressed every button imaginable and it finally turned off. 

The end.

Before we left i taught my grandmother how to take pictures with a digital camera.We left early so we could beat the Easter and spring break traffic.

Happy Easter and Happy Passover!!!

Coinstar and birthday celebration at outback. Saturday

Today my mom, grandma, and I all went to 

coin-star with coins that my grandma collected over about 2 years. We had bags of coins and it took us about half an hour to get process all the coins. My grandma got $500 dollars, to take to Las Vegas. We also found this really cool fortune    so i decided to take a picture of it. We used the fortune numbers to get lottery tickets, but we didn't win any money.

For dinner we went to Outback Steakhouse for our birthday celebration. We had a bloomin onion and i had grilled chicken with vegtables. We had an ice cream sundae for our birthday dessert. 

2nd day of excitement- Friday and Target!!!

This is a picture of me cooking stir fry. It had chicken, green peppers, orange peppers, mushrooms, and mandarin-oranges. It was really good. We had our dinner with green tea.

Today after lunch with my Grandma's friends we all went to target. My grandma got earrings and a lunchbox and my grandma got a polka dots shirt. I walked around and looked at all the cool stuff. I love target!!

Palm Desert Trip with a stop along the way.

Today after my midterm for Geography my mom and i went to Palm Desert. We left at about 9:45 and stopped in a small town called Upland, which has a stamp store that my mom always stops at. This is a picture of the Gazebo, that every time we visit this town is always being worked on. I call the town Riverdale. About 10 minutes away from this town with 2 streets, was a grocery store with a Jamba Juice, which made my day.

When we got to Palm Desert we went Elephant Bar and all got hamburgers. Then we went to the mall and i got 2 birthday shirts from Express from my grandmother. After figuring out what to do with the rest of our day, we went to Trader Joes to get dinner to cook at home. I was so tired from my midterm and traveling that i went to bed around 8. 

A Man's Best friend.

Today on the way to school i saw a dog that looked like my grandparents old dog, Mike. I have not seen Mike since he moved to my cousins house, over two years ago.I decided that i would post a picture of him, because i love him so much.

Mike was the closest thing i ever had to a pet dog. My grandparents got him when they moved out to Palm Desert. He was born on the same day as my Grandmother.He was a hunting dog and loved my Grandpa Bill. He loved swimming in the back yard pool and following everyone around. When my Grandfather passed away and my grandmother moved to another house, she had to give him up because he was too hard to handle.
