Okay, I'm trying to find a pattern for this bag:

http://www.lollygirl.com/images/market_bag.jpg

I found this pic on a blog, and the person had posted where she got the pattern, so I clicked the link, and there's no pattern for it. So, any help would be appreciated! It's called the Trellising Market Bag and it's knitted.

1st July, 2005. 10:36 am.

Holy crap was last night fun or what?

Jordan invited us dock people to come over to his house and "eat pizza, and drink coke, and swim." I got my license yesterday, so I took Natalie with me. We were the first ones there, so we sat and watched Punk'd with Jordan. The pizza guy came and he forgot something that Jordan needed to sign. By the time the guy brought it back, a lot of other people were there, and we were eating in the kitchen. How his house is set up, you can look out the kitchen window, and see the front porch.

So, Jordan had this brilliant idea. He was gonna play a trick on the pizza guy. He let him ring the doorbell twice. The pizza guy looks over through the window, Jordan stares at him, and shuts the blinds. We were all laughing so hard. It was hilarious. Jordan did go and appologize, and it was fine.

Then we all went swimming! I took Nat home to go get her swimsuit, and we went back to Jordan's. They were already playing "crazy pool games". Which was categories. We played using colors, stores in the Colin Creek Mall, drive-throughs in Richardson, and then states. When we played states, Jordan, me and Taylor all started singing that song that like everyone and their mom learned in like 4th grade.

We played weird versions of Sharks and Minnows. Amanda and I almost drowned playing it, too. Once I was a shark, Jordan kept making the dog like jump over mine and Claire's arms, so now I have scratches from his dog. But I still had fun! At 9:30, I took Natalie home. I felt really rude...so Nat, I'm REALLY sorry if I was rude to you. I really am.

When I came back, everyone was eating Claire's dirt, and some people ate my brownies. Then, like two hours after she said she would come, Courtney showed up. This is where we really had a blast! Jordan and Taylor started playing guitar and we sang songs that nobody knew. So, Courtney got out her laptop and showed us what her and Jordan did for fun that day. It was so funny. They had decided to make this weird music video, and like Jordan's doing a handstand IN COURTNEY'S SWIMSUIT BOTTOMS! It's hilarious. They went to the stable across from his house and asked these girls if they wanted to be in their music video. Apparently they were really rude and were like, "Uh, no, we're WORKING!"

I asked Courtney if they had permission to be there. She goes, "Uh, sorta! I went up to the manager guy, and I was like, 'Uh, were doing a video for a student project, can we shoot it here?' and the guy said it was fine!"

There's some weird scenes of Jordan in cowboy gear, moving hay around. We also watched a video of him "snowboarding" at Huffines park. He was in like full ski gear, in over 100 degree weather. It was so funny. I had to leave at 11, and I really didn't want to. They kept watching more videos and I wanted to watch more, but my mom made me come home. It was so fun, though!

Current mood: hungry.
Current music: Inaudible Melodies by Jack Johnson.

29th June, 2005. 7:14 pm.

Kim, I miss you. What happened to you, and why do you never talk to me? I miss dishing and ranting and raving to you. PLEASE talk to me.

Okay, today I became a mark. representative. That's right, you can order your amazingly awesome makeup and lotion and whatever from me if you feel so obligated. I wouldn't mind at all if you felt so obligated, either.

Last night we went to the docks. A bunch of people ended up thanking me at the end of the night. this is the story.

Sunday night: I texted Jordan asking him if he'd go to the docks on tuesday if I got people to go. He called me back, but I missed the call. I called him later that night. He told me he'd go and blah blah, but I had to get the people to come and more blah blah. So, I accepted my mission! whoo.

Monday afternoon: I started calling people. Leaving messages, text messaging, whatever. Haha I called Julie Allen and she was asleep...at 1:30 in the afternoon. All her words were slurred together and stuff. It was pretty entertaining. I was unsure if she would come since she was in such a delusional state of mind.

Tuesday afternoon: I kinda freaked out because a bunch of people were on the "maybe" list as to whether or not they would come. I had only 5 for sures: Jordan, me, Natalie, Julie, and Taylor. And I made sure with Julie and Taylor, too. I texted her, making sure she'd come. And she said she would.

Tuesday evening: I texted Jordan, asking him if Kyle was coming. He said he's out of town. I told him how I was amazed that he could've put the docks together in less than an hour and gotten so many people to show up. He called me asking who all was coming and told me he'd be late.

Tuesday, 8PM. Lindsey must've gotten my xanga message cause she showed up.Or her voicemail message. Anyway. I got there and Lindsey, Amanda, Ashley, and Claire were there. That's 4 people that I wasn't expecting. Awesome. Later, Julie and Taylor showed up, as did Jordan. Nat took me, so she was obviously there.

Tuesday, 9:30 PM. Jordan was trying to find a day when most the people could get together and have fun. He decided that on Thursday, he'd have us over and we'd eat pizza, and drink cokes, and swim in his pool, and have fun. We were all game. He then said he was hungry for ice cream. So was everyone else. So, we went to Marble Slab. Courtney met us up there. It was FUN. Jordan bought all of our ice cream. He said, "And don't get anything wimpy.Go big or go home." I went wimpy, though. I got chocolate ice cream with butterfinger in it. Yum.

Then, we all parked in the PetSmart parking lot and talked and ate and listened to Jordan sing a song that nobody liked. It soon turned into "the fish song." Only certain people know "the fish song". Sadly, i'm one of them. Don't be jealous. It's not a song you want to know. "I like fish, in a dish, you're a bitch, but not really..." Highly entertaining, eh?

OH! But before we parked in the parking lot, I was talking with Jordan and Courtney. She was like, "Yeah, so we tried to get Jordan a discount on his new car cause we thought the family discount would work for friends-of-the-family, too. But then my mom said, 'No, just family, and you and Jordan aren't married, so..' And then I was like, 'Well, we're gonna get married anyway!'" I was like, "Oh, really? Do tell, please!"

Courtney was like, "If neither one of us are married by the time we're 26, we're getting married to eachother!" Jordan goes, "Yep! Just like on Friends!" I couldn't help but laugh. Courtney then says, "Yeah, and Doug thinks that he has the same deal. Jordan was all like, 'Cheater!' and I said I never agreed to it. The only thing is, Doug was like, 'If I clap once, it means I want sex. Twice, I want a blow job!'"

I didn't hear the blow job part, so I asked Courtney what clap twice was. She said it, and ridiculously loud, too. It.Was.Hilarious. The lady behind Courtney turns around, and gives her THE worst look ever. I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Courtney thought I was crazy, so I told her what happened. She started laughing, too.

10:45. We all decided to leave. Most of our curfews are 11, and Jordan hadn't seen his parents for like 3 days, so we all left. Natalie and I rode back to the docks with him so we could get her car. I was SO tired. I fell asleep in the front seat. Jordan swerves onto the bumps and screams "WAKE UP!" to me. It was awesome. NOT! I was really tired! so mean. I told him he was mean, too.

We talked about him leaving high school and starting college as a sophomore. He was like, "Raychel, I'm gonna miss being in your dance class!" I said me too. He goes, "Why? I never did anything?" so we talked about dance. We listened to rap for some reason. I think it was because none of us ever listen to it, so we tried it out. None of us could stand it.

Back at the docks, we listened to Bethany Dillon. Move Forward, to be exact. Nat knew how tired I was and I was falling asleep and she goes, "I better hear you singing!!!" If you've never heard Move Forward, it'd be hard for you to understand. Basically, it's Beth singing the words "I move forward through hope" most of the song. And she's reaching these awesome notes for extended lenghts of time. Nat and I like to listen to it real loud and sing so we sound just like her. Normally, I can do it. While curled up in a car and half-asleep, it's not so easy. But it was rather fun trying.

I got home RIGHT at 11. Whoo hoo for me.

Today I bought some more waterproof mascara and a new bikini from Target. My bikini is so amazingly cute. It's blue with red hearts on it and on the boob and butt, it has a red sequened heart. So cute.

I'm finally getting my license tomorrow. Go me. Then i'm off to Jordan's awesome party. I have to remember to get directions, though. I'm gonna take Nat since I'll have gotten my license. I'm so excited! Yay. Tomorrow's gonna be awesome. I wanna start Yoga real bad. Random, but I got this book called "Uh, like...Om? The girl goddess's guide to Yoga." Now I really wanna do it.

Current mood: enthralled.
Current music: "For My Love" by Bethany Dillon.

I think I've posted this before, so too bad if I have. You can read it again! Yay.

I was so unique, now I feel skin deep.
I count on the makeup to cover it all.
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention.
Thought I could be strong, but it's killing me.
Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life.
I wanna be beautiful,
make You stand in awe,
look inside my heart and be amazed.
I want to hear You say who I am is quite enough.
I just wanna be worthy of love and beautiful.
Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me.
Fighting to make the mirror happy.
Trying to find whatever is missing.
Won't You help me back to glory?
I wanna be beautiful,
make You stand in awe,
look inside my heart and be amazed.
I want to hear You say who I am is quite enough.
I just wanna be worthy of love
You make me beautiful,
You make me stand in awe,
You stepped inside my heart,
and I am amazed.
I love to hear You say who I am is quite enough.
You make me worthy of love and beautiful.
You make me worthy of love and beautiful.

11th June, 2005. 6:32 pm. Babysitting at Thomas'

Whoo hooo I'm babysitting Thomas right now. He's singing a song, saying, "When's my mommy gonna be back?" He keeps running across the patio with this red firetruck thing. Oh great, now he brought it inside and it's FULL of water.

Okay, so let's get to a-postin, shall we?

May 26 was my last day of school. It was supposed to be May 27, but I didn't have any exams, so go me.

May 28, we left to go to Ohio. It was pretty boring. We met up with my dad's best friend from high school and hung out with him. It was awesome. I met people that I had never met in my life. These people were like, "I say a picture of you from when you were this tall." Some of them were cool. Some weren't. One in particular, but let's not talk about it. One night when we were there, these kids were shooting bullets into the air. At least we THOUGHT they were bullets. Ends up, they were fireworks. In the freaking daylight. Real cool. Not.

We got back on like May 31. At 11 at night. The flight was so scary.

I was so excited because i'd be getting to go to The Dock the next night. Natalie came with me again. I baked TONS of cookies for it, too. We drove around, until it was time. We got there and parked for a while. I called pretty much everyone who goes regularly. Not a single one was going. I didn't even bother Jordan cause he told me he was out of town in a text while I was in Ohio. Natalie suggested that we go to the 7th and 8th grade Girl's Bible study at our church. I figured, hey I have tons of cookies and a Bible, let's go. So, we did. It was rather entertaining. I actually learned stuff, too. We read the whole book of Colossians. It was cool. I think I participated more than the 7th and 8th graders did! And those girls ate my cookies ALL up! I think I had like 2 left at the end o fthe thing.

I don't recall anything too eventful happening the rest of the week. Nat and I spent the night at eachother's houses like every night and we just drove around and listened to Bethany Dillon sing "Beautiful" over and over. We also started to learn how to play it on the guitar. Nat was doing a WAY better job at it than I.

On Saturday, I helped my friend Sarah with collecting money for her mission trip to Jamaica. We had a car wash. It was pretty fun. I brought sunscreen, and just never wore it. So, I got the funniest looking farmer's tan ever. Now it's a tan and sadly, peeling. My sister's like "Eww gross." Too bad. Like she's never had a peeling burn before. It reminds me of you, Kim and you're lovely skin peelings from last year. Should I sell them on eBay?

Monday was the start of Vacation Bible School. It was so fun. I loved every kid I had in there. Even when half of them were out with some stomach virus and throwing up half of the night. Gross. Luckily, I didn't get it.

Tuesday was Nat's 17th b-day. We went to Chili's with some people. Including Jacob. GAG ME. If only he knew what horrible feelings I have towards him. He told me he loved me like a thousand times and I would just go, "Okay." Everyone would crack up when I said that, too. Marci was gonna come to the Dock with us, so we all got in the car and I called Lindsey. She said the Dock was cancelled for this Tuesday, but we might go next Tuesday. So, Nat and Marci came over to my house. We had our own little Bible study. We were all gonna sleepover at Nat's, but for some reason, her mom said no.

Now it's Saturday and I'm pretty bored. My 16th birthday is in 10 days, though. Thomas is sitting on his little potty in the living room watching Blue's Clues. The joy of potty training. Just kidding! He told me he had to go, and he's been on the thing for like 30 minutes, and still nothing.

I went to Barnes and Noble and bought 3 books today. I'll be returning one of them. I looked at the reviews AFTER I bought it, and apparently, it sucks. I tried reading some of it, and it wasn't that great. I guess I'll go back tomorrow. I bought the 2nd and 3rd Clique books. I already finished the 2nd, and I'm sure I'll get through the 3rd by tomorrow. I wonder what book will replace my crap one. Hmm. Maybe I'll just go to Half Price where it will be el cheapo and still new. Maybe.

Current mood: tired.
Current music: some weird blue's clues song.

25th May, 2005. 12:32 pm. and it's just You and me here now, only You and me here now.

Docks was last night. Since it's under construction, we sat on the bridge. It was pretty fun. Except only one graduated senior showed up. Laine. Nobody else. No Courtney, Claire, Caroline, Kyle, or Jordan. It was sorta boring without them. Just a bunch of sophomores, one junior, and one Freshman in college. But we still had fun.

I brought Natalie. She was the one junior.

We sang really pretty songs this time. It was sorta bittersweet. I'm gonna miss the Docks during the summer. We're all still gonna go whenever we actually can, but I can't go like 5 times the whole summer. That's a lot to me. But hopefully, I can start some sort of tradition like that when I go to Florida. Kim, you can join me. We'll just go around and find some teenagers to befriend and start a Bible study with. Find some oceany kinda place to have it. Sounds awesome.

Today was my last day of school! Tomorrow was supposed to be, but my teachers told me not to even bother showing up. WHOO HOO!

I came for 2 hours and 4 minutes today. I got there at 9 and left at 11:04. WOOT. I'm going to Kelsey's house in a little bit with Josh, Molly, and Lauren to go SWIMMING! YAY! Ew Josh was like totally oogling me when I was wearing a halter top and shorts last weekend. He's never seen me in a bikini, and I'm kinda scared! HAHA.

Let's see. Friday, I'm going to Ohio. Boring. I'll be back on Monday.
June 6-10 is VBS
June 20-25 is Senior High Escape to Padre! And my 16th birthday!
June 26-30 is some rest days.
Then, like all of July: FLORIDA! WHOOOOOO HOOOOO!

I'm totally looking forward to it. Kim, we should find 2 hot guys to go dancing with us. I can teach everyone some country line dances! Yay!

I'm so excited! I'd better go change into my swimsuit. HAHA! All my friends are still taking exams for another 20 minutes!

I wasn't supposed to leave until 1, but my 5th period teacher goes, "If you're exempt, don't even bother showing up tomorrow!" SO, I left at 11, after my dance exam. Everyone loved our dance. Of course, cause I choreographed it-all by myself.

Well, I'm gonna go now!

Current mood: enthralled.
Current music: Only You by David Crowder (the best praise song ever!).

22nd May, 2005. 3:42 pm.

So, last night, Natalie and I went to the Wildflower Festival to go see Ryan Cabrera. I bought this really cute little Cross thing and we just walked around. Since yesterday morning was Graduation, I decided to text Jordan to say congrats or whatever. That was at around 9ish. The text said something like "Congrats, I can't believe yall graduated already. Have fun at Ram Jam. Can u send me Claire's number? Im at wildflower and it's freaking hot."

And it was freaking hot. It was 100 when we first got there, and it cooled down to around 98 at like 8ish.

Anyway. So, Jordan's usually really good about getting right back to me. But he wasn't tonight. I thought it was really weird.

We went to the stage where Ryan was gonna be playing and we listened to this other band. i can't remember their name, but they were really good. I saw some people from my school. At one point I looked behind me and I saw Jordan. Well, his hair. I didn't wanna keep staring in case it wasn't him, so I looked at the stage again. I heard my name called really loud all of a sudden. I turned around, and it was Jordan. We said hey or whatever and that was all. That was at like 10:15. He ended up leaving at around 11 because of Ram Jam.

And it was weird cause I hadn't seen him since like Tuesday, and on Friday night, I had a dream about him. Weird.

Erin and I texted eachother all through Ryan's show. She was like "Is he hot in person?" and I go, "Sorta, but he desperately needs a haircut!" Cause he does. I think he'd look way better with a little less hair.

So, seniors all graduated. Pretty sad considering the fact that most my friends are seniors. I don't know what I'm gonna do without them!

I forced Kyle to sign my yearbook. He was sitting with me at lunch on Friday, and I was like "Sign my yearbook" and he's like "no" and i go "yes" We did that for like 5 minutes and he goes "GEEZ! I'LL SIGN IT!" He grabs it out of my hand and flips to the back. I cracked up when I read it. It goes, "I think you were nice? Kyle K."

That's Kyle's lovely essence right there. Obnoxious, yes. Loveable, of course! Haha like one day he got sent out of Physics cause he said "magina." It was hilarious. He goes, "Why, coach? It's like saying fenis, it's not a real word!" Coach couldn't help but laugh, but he had to send him out to be fair to other kids who say obscene things.

I think I have a picture of Kyle, actually! Ok, kidding, the school site already took it off. Too bad.

Woot, so yesterday, I got to see and meet my favorite band again! Fastball. Whoo hoo. I got another pic, and it's a thousand times cuter than my old one, even with my eyes shut! The old ones are from April 21, 2004. So, like a little over a year ago. And, I can play the opening of "Falling Upstairs" on the guitar. Wow, I'm so accomplished. JUST KIDDING! OK, photobucket's being retarded, so yall will see the pics whenever it's not retarded anymore.

Current music: Human Torch by Fastball.
