Week 27

"My church" blares through the speakers of an 01 z71, when 2 teenage girls fly over some railroad tracks outside of town. The original plan was to just go to Lacon and grab supper, but then one of them had a great idea. They were going to just drive until they got lost. If I remember correctly, their names were Sam and Kaylee actually! Sam insisted on driving, because her car does wayyy better on gas... and Kaylee was completely okay with that. Sam had to stop in Metamora first to wash her car, then they were off. Sam drove out past Eureka until she couldn't recognize her surroundings. Kaylee was almost asleep, because she had been sick. When they kept driving, they noticed a town called Goodfield. Sam and Kaylee stopped and ate at this awesome restaurant called The Busy Corner. Then, they were off again. In some strange way, they ended up in Bloomington... how were they going to get back. Kaylee called her dad, and he didn't seem too happy about it. Sam doesn't really like driving on the interstate, but we had to take 39 and exit the interstate in Minonk. By then, we knew how to get home:)

Week 26

This is going to be a rant blog. I am apologizing ahead time... sorry. So my wonderful "wish I had a smart comeback" story starts in welding class. I was having an awful day and none of my welds were turning out. I walked up to my teacher and asked him what I was doing wrong. Well, we all have those days where your mouth is saying one thing and your mind is thinking about another. I said, "Nothings not turning out right" to him, because I couldn't think of the right word to say. I know I was grammatically incorrect and I sounded like an idiot, but the funny thing is... he had to point out what I said and make fun of me. He said, "Is that how all you Washburn kids talk?". To remind you, this is my teacher from Metamora. A million freaking things were running through  my mind, but a comeback wasn't one of them. A fist flying through the air was actually one of those thoughts, but that would be flat out stupid, but still tempting. After he said that, I just stood there in shock because I couldn't believe he said that. I would understand it if he was meaning it in a joking matter, but it was coming from a teacher. He was making fun of my education. I'm not the person to really cry, but that smart remark hit me in the feels... like anvil falling from the sky... really fast.

Week 25

The theme song I chose that would represent my life is "I love this life" by LOCASH. We all are given one life to live... so I guess live it to the fullest. On the weekends, we take the trucks out and tear up some dirt roads. Sometimes we actually do hit the railroad tracks too hard... it really does bite back. I'm a simple person and this song explains such a simple, laid back life I live. All of my friends basically have the same kind of life style, so I'm sure all of you reading this will understand!

Week 24

Sam and I have many many many inside jokes, but my favorite one is about treadmills. One day Sam and I was down in her basement... walking on the treadmill. Sam came up with the great idea to make it go as fast as it can go... and run on it. Sam set the speed as high as it could go and she stood on the side rails of it. She waited and she waited until she worked up enough guts to do it. She did it. He feet barely touch the track, but when they did... they shot back so quickly. The next idea we had was to keep the highest speed going and then sit down on it with a pillow. (Remind you... I never tried these) Sam hovered over the treadmill with the pillow under her butt. She sat down... SWOOOSH!! There goes Sammy! Her legs flew up in the air and she got shoved off the treadmill. So to this day, every time we see a treadmill we just laugh:)

Week 23

Well my little group of friends want to go on a road trip after high school. They all want to go to a different country because they can legally drink. I personally want to go to Alaska, because I have an uncle that lives there. We would be saving a lot of money staying at his cabin. He has private locations there for fishing and everything! Another place I would consider would be Germany, but I have seen too many movies. I don't want to get drugged and taken to a hotel to be killed!! Then my ad would have be all Liam Neeson and rescue me lol                                

Week 21

My celebrity crush would have to be Scott Eastwood! Clint Eastwood (his father) has passed down the acting stick to him... actually probably thrown it as hard as he could an Scott caught it. Scott is an awesome actor. My favorite movie he plays in is The Longest Ride. He is a professional bull rider who falls in love with a city girl who is in college to become an artist. They were driving home from a day at the lake when they see a car accident on the side of the road. Well Scott goes and looks at the car to see if anyone is in it. There was... he rescued this old man who had a very large gash on his head. Story short. The couple becomes a thing and the old guy passes from old age!

Week 22

We all know the lovely Disney movie Frozen, but I got to see the life after their love story. Anna and Kristoff were all happy when the movie ended, because they were first married. The next day, Kristoff left the toilet seat up and it just set Anna off. Anna started yelling and screaming at him for his carelessness. He was in totally confusion, because if that happened yesterday he would have been in the clear. It was like a mood switch that flipped... seems that's what every marriage is like nowadays. Then on top of all of that... Anna found out she was pregnant!
