Today.

1 day. 24 hours. 1,440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. 86,400,000 milliseconds. One day can change your life in so many ways. Nobody knows when, where, or how, you will die. How little time it would take for you to make one wrong turn, one mishap or mistake and your life could be gone. If you knew today was your last, would you smile a little more, or a little less? Would you get up and 'seize the day', or stay home and sleep? Would you spend all day worrying or would you live your life? Would you tell people? Would you spend your day making yourself or others happy? Would you go on an adventure? Would you care more or less about what people thought and said? Would you tell your close friends and family that you love them one last time? Are you sure? The only problem is, you don't know when you will die. You never will. If you could redo anything in your life, would you? I wouldn't. It builds personality, character, defines who I am today. If you died tonight, would you be happy with what you did with your last day on earth? Did you hug anyone today? Have you even smiled today? Were you nice to everybody, whether they deserved it or not? Are you lying to make your self feel better? Don't. It won't matter. What is done, is done. Remember: There is not always tomorrow. To smile more. Somebody is always watching you. What you do, it could change somebody else's life for better, or worse. Do today, what you've always put off until tomorrow. Make every single day different. And ALWAYS smile.

If I were...

If I were a crayon I should think that I would be a rather sharp crayon.
A green one perhaps, with a blue stripe, yes that would be my color. If I were a crayon, I would be everybody's favorite crayon. I would be the crayon that you would want to draw every picture with... every ocean, and every sky.

If I were a book I would be a book with just the right amount of drama, action and suspense, with a twist of romance. If I were a book, would you read my story? I should think that I would be the kind of book that you would want to read over and over again.

If you could be something... what would you be? Would you be a real object? Or perhaps imagine something to be? You decide because dreams are real, and reality is a lie.

Emma-palooza!

The greatest day of the year is coming up this Wednesday, that’s right, it’s Emma’s Birthday!!
I love my birthday so much that it can’t last just one day, it lasts one week! So instead of celebrating for just one day we do something fun each day for the week leading up to my birthday, hence EMMAPALOOZA! Thankfully I have awesome parents who play along with my love of my birthday, making it even better! So here is a list of what we have done so far for EMMAPALOOZA!
Day 1 Shopping in Denver!
Day 2 Getting hair cut!
Day 3 Go-carting with friends, lunch and dinner of choice!
Day 4 Relaxing at home.
Day 5 New makeup!
The rest is to be determined, but for the most part I have amazing parents who love me a lot!
Happy Birthday to me!!
And a very merry EMMAPALOOZA to you!!

Mom.

Today is a truly inspiring day, my mother’s birthday. I know that most people don’t like their birthdays but my mom is different.
My mom LOVES her birthday, always has, and probably always will. In fact she loves her birthday so much that she doesn’t only have a birthday, she has a birthWEEK. Here are some sure fire ways to make sure YOUR mom has a great birthday!
1) NEVER EVER forget your mother’s birthday. EVER.
This is probably the worst possible thing you can do on anybody’s birthday, so don’t do it to your own mother.
2) Don’t try to cover it up.
If you do forget your mother’s birthday, don’t try to cover it up and pretend it was a joke. Mother knows all.
3) More expensive doesn’t always mean better.
Mom’s LOVE homemade gifts, so make her something personal.
4) Flowers. Always get flowers.
Whether you pick them yourself or have them delivered, moms LOVE flowers.
5) Try to do something that you don’t usually do.
Try to help do something; it could be anything from cooking to doing laundry to setting the table.
6) Do something different
Stick to traditions from when you were little, but also add new ones!
And THAT is how to make your mother have a happy birthday!
I Love you, and have a merry Birthday Mom!!!

IT

Everybody has one major fear, something they fear over everything else. For some people it is spiders, or snakes, or ping-pong balls (I don't actually know anybody that is afraid of ping-pong balls, but there's got to be somebody out there). For me it's clowns, I am absolutely terrified of clowns. Happy clowns, sad clowns, creepy clowns, quirky clowns, I am terrified.
Everybody knows about my fear, especially my parents. Ah, my clever, clever parents. In my family we always do funny presents for Christmas, like little kid toys and funny things like that. Well this year my parents gave me the movie IT. If you are not aware of this movie, it is pretty much the scariest clown movie ever. IT's name is PennyWise, PennyWise the clown, he haunts the children, pulls then into the sewer, and eats them. Since it is a Stephen King movie, the clown never dies. Even worse, there is no ending, no final word on the whole movie. I recommend watching the movie for this to make more sense.
Very funny right? No, not funny at all.
I love my parents, but I'm pretty sure they have scarred me for life.

Resolutions

New Years resolutions... everybody has them:
Quitting caffeine
Joining a gym
Walking their dog
etc.
I find it very hard to take these resolutions seriously. Nobody keeps these, why? Because habits are hard to break, it takes thirty solid times of doing something right to break the bad habit. Thirty days. That's January, pretty much a whole month. I think that you can try to hold onto your resolutions but rarely do you REALLY want to do them. If you are going to start doing something different, you have to want it to be different. Be you and be happy. That is my resolution, be happy, I think I can manage.
