sometimes nothing at all, just so that I would be able to get a nutritious meal each day. The thing…
My best pecan fest memory was last year when I first rode the Pharaoh’s Fury. When I got on I was getting scared. I got on and there was no turning back. I sat down in the seat and the ride began to move. I thought I was goanna fly out the seat. It was going back and forth and it didn’t stop until it started to slow down. Then it stopped completely. My body felt all wobbly. I got off it was hard to walk. Next I walked over to a ride that I didn’t really know the name of. But it was really fun! Then I got off and decided to ride it again, and again! Next I got bored of the ride, and rode something call Tug a boat. It swayed me and other people back, and forth. I rode it again for no reason. But I got bored…
Corn hole was the second thing I tried at Fall Fest. This game is not the most thrilling thing in the world. There were several people that were waiting to play because it was pretty much the only thing to do. I am not very good at it, which is weird because the only thing you have to do is toss a bean bag onto a wooden box that has a hole in it. I have never understood the corn hole rules so that didn’t help. The way to get points is by making it in the hole or if the bag stays on the board, but I don’t know how the scoring works. My bags always missed or bounced off the board anyways. I was going to play volleyball after corn hole, but there was no one else playing it so I just watched a bunch of other people play corn hole. Countless other…
You were looking at the pills, it seem so ridiculous. There's no such thing as a lust pills, but then again you got nothing to lose. Your mind still thinking about your sister's hot body. If these pills do work, you could finally get inside your sister's pants. Before reaching home, you place one pinkish pills inside your sister's slushy. You got home a few minutes later. You handed katie her slushy and ice cream.…
My best Pecan Fest experience was last year. I rode the Zipper with Austen and Hayden for most of the time. My friends and I played all weekend and had fun. We bought lots of confetti eggs. They were very useful when we used them on other people. We also bought silly string and sprayed lots of people. We went on the Zipper at least 10 times. I went on the MI twice. I went on the Pharos Fury a couple times. I ran around the yard with my friends and we rode on lots of rides. I helped my mom with her booth and I got a lot of people to play the game. I also watched my little brother perform on stage. After that I ate some food and then went one the Zipper. I felt so sick after. I got some water and I went home. The next day we went back to the…
So, that evening my daughters’ father had to cook dinner because I was laid up in bed icing and elevating my ankles. The menu for that night’s dinner was fried shrimp, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable. It seemed pretty straightforward and my daughters’ father seemed more than capable to accomplish it. Boy was I wrong!…
I can speak in front of an audience about Best Buddies, or be put on the spot and not flinch. I can go on a mission trip across the world, see poverty, anguish and violence yet not be afraid. I can learn to get along with my peers despite very strong contradictions in our ethics and styles. I can watch late night episodes of criminal minds and stay home alone with not an ounce of fear. But, there is one thing that makes shivers go up my body, tears stream down my face and my whole body just freeze.…
My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, my stuffy nose runs. I grasp the cold metal handle of the school door, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustomed to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated area backstage. We struggle through multiple doors and long curtains until we reach our destination. The first aid kit mends our minor cuts and bruises created in the process. Gathering our senses, we collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to the classroom assigned to us. The first performance is in an hour and a half,…
In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…
After a long while of thinking about what I believe in, I finally found the solution. I believe in cookies. Well, now you’re probably thinking this is some kind of dumb joke and that I’m not being sincere. But, it’s not what you think. Now you’re more than likely waiting for some sort of symbolism about cookies and their delicious, crispy edges. But no, we’re talking real cookies, right out of the oven, fresh off of the cookie sheet.…
My Thanksgiving vacation could have been more enjoyable. I did a lot of working over break. Starting from the beginning, on Tuesday after we got let out of school, I drove all the way down to Des Moines because I had to work. I work at the Des Moines Buccaneers Hockey Arena, it’s a USHL hockey league that boys from ages 16-19 play in while trying to get scholarships to colleges they are signed to. My sister Kaylee and I worked in the Pirates Cove cleaning until around 7:00 P.M. Buccaneer clothing can be purchased in the cove. We had to close down and quit cleaning at 7:00 P.M. because an important hockey game called the Turkey Cup. Between two Des Moines high school hockey teams, the Oak Leafs and the Capitals. On these teams the boys age from, 16-19, although they are the…
It was an early morning.Can you guess where I was? Okay, I will give you a tip, lots and lots of pumpkins! A pumpkin patch. Did you get it? Why was I there you might ask, okay, I’ll tell you.…
It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…
The most depressing Thanksgiving for me so far was last year. Not because of food or anything but I had to meet my sister’s new boyfriend.…
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, “Two are better than one…If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!.” Chocolate chip cookies rank third most popular dessert in the USA. In order to enjoy the classic dessert, the baker will need both chocolate chips and cookie dough. Without chocolate chips, I would refer to the dessert as a simple cookie instead of a chocolate chip cookie; in the same way, without the cookie dough, I cannot refer to the chocolate chips as a chocolate chip cookie. Oddly enough, true friendships relate to chocolate chip cookies. Similar to how the chocolate chips and the cookie dough depend on each other to make a classic dessert, people count on each other as well. A close…
