Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in GOD's sight.

1 Peter 3:3-4

Keyword: Happy


WARNING: The following content has opinion of Sydney. If you do not like others opinions, click off now.

I was just checkin up on the ol' blog when I saw how sad and depressing SLTDQ has been lately! Well I am going to write a happy post! I went to google and typed in the search area 'happy'. You know what the very first suggestion was? Happy meal. *dramatic pause* Do you know how sad that makes me? McDonalds has taken over the world! Not even happy face could come in first! I started crying! (Okay, not really but I had to add something way over the top there)!

Well MY opinion towards McDonalds is this: barf! Yep, that sums it up really. I learned in English that you have to add three supporting details in every paragraph so here are my three supporting details:

1.) McDonalds chicken is dark meat DYED white! True fact. McD's dyes there chicken so that the human eye looks at it as appealing! So right there you got dyed chicken. Then they fry it or whatever...

2.) Is there any healthy choices on there menu? Let's check....hmmm...nope that's not healthy...not that either...uh, we have salad. Okay one out of one hundred choices is healthy! EXCUUUSE ME!

3.) Fatty, fat, fat, fat, fat! It is pretty much known for there chicken nuggets so okay past the fact they dye there food, is it healthy? Now I'm trying to get into this healthy stay fit stage and mcdonalds is not a good place to keep up with that! Okay for example:

A small child orders JUST this!
Chicken McNugget (4pc)
Small French Fries
1% low fat white milk jug

Okay... This is what it comes out too:
Calories- 520
Fat- 25g
Sat. Fat- 5g
Cholesterol- 36mg
Sodium- 690mg
Carbs- 52g
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! There's more stuff to but just look at that! That child is having 520 calories for just one meal! Uh... Okay so maybe this hasn't been the most positive, happy post ever but it doesn't talk about funerals (unless the kid gets fat and dies from high cholesterol) haha

Sleep tight my little buddies!

Repeating and repeating and repeating


I packed today for our five days in North Dakota. I packed two of the same outfits I wore for my grandma's funeral. I packed everything needed. Didn't I just unpack all of this?! I have been having a very rough time understanding this all and sadly I have to admit, I have even yelled at God a few times. I just don't understand why I have to go to yet another funeral in less than three months. I don't understand why Zane must suffer because this stupid thing called Cancer, took his mother from him! I don't understand why Skyler has to be a father with no wife to talk to after Zane is asleep. I just don't understand. I ask for lots of prayer! It has been very tough for me to watch my immediate family suffer! My dad is strong and hasn't cried in front of me but I know he is suffering inside! Why must Shelia suffer, her mother-in-law just passed and now her sister-in-law!

We were just going threw some pictures on all the laptops, phones, and desktops because they are going to make a slideshow and want all the pictures possible. My dad scrolled across this one when Zane was, I'm guessing like one? And he is sitting in Mona's lap and she's looking at him just smiling! Those are times when I lash at God! Why must you take Mona from Zane! What did he do to suffer this! Then I remember, he didn't do anything. This is just a another frustrating part of life. I get very emotional at funerals like I'm happy she's in a better place, but get angry that us people on Earth suffer. Do you get that way?

I will try to post threw out the time but I'm not sure if I will... Maybe I'll like journal and then when I get home, I'll post all my journal stuff! That might work the best...

Love ya guys!

My night, bad news and a prayer request

Hola Readers!!

So tonight I went out to dinner with bills family at Osaka which is a Japanese restraunt. I don't like that kinda food so I got chicken :)

Bad news: after the good dinner and we parted our ways I got a txt from my dad saying "call me when you get home" okay....? Well when we were saying byes I had saw my mom was txting my dad. Now I'm not super smart but I figured that my dad had txt mom, she didnt talk to me about anything and dad wanted me to call him, something was up. So after a couple 2 minutes of processing this threw my brain I knew what was going on. I jumped on my phone and called my dad. He stalled for a little bit talking about my church event tomorrow night. I could hear him sniffing almost the entire talk. Then he cracked it... " well, I txt your mom this so she knows but ah... Mona (aunt) died today. *pause and I started bawling*. Now if you know me you know my 2011 hasn't started the best. My grandma just recently died, my uncle was in a horrible accent and now my aunt died of cancer. I will still be attending my event (for my church buddies) and if you see be PLEASE make a joke or something. I don't mind talking about it but don't keep going on and on and on about it! We will be leaving Saturday something and depending when the funeral is will come back by Wednesday.

Prayer request: I really need prayers now! I am not trying to sound selfish but I'm very stressed and stuff. I would also like to ask for prayers for my uncle Skyler (monas husband) and Zane, monas five year old son. When I was talking to my dad and he had finally broke the news I asked how they were doing. Skyler is well it was his wife... Zane is at the age where he understands that mom died. How heartbreaking is that! Dad said that on the way to go see mona one last time, skyler told Zane that he needed to say goodbye to mom! WHAT FIVE YEAR OLD SHOULD HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO THERE MOM!!! ugh... Also just my family in general. Plus mona's family would be great!

Thank you very much!

I need a beer

**No, I am not an under age drinker! Let's just clear that up... It is just a figure of speech!**

This past weekend I went to my little cousin Gavyn's hockey tournaments and what not in Fargo (more on that to come). I did not get much sleep between visiting late nights and not sleeping in until noon all weekend. Thats a big chance for this little body! It's use to every other weekend catching up on sleep! I am heading to bed after catching up on the latest family stuff on my moms side and picking up my room. I could honestly stay up for hours (if I could sleep past 645). Tomorrow is going to hit hard with school! I am now going to try really hard to be in my bed relaxed by 930 every night! At my dads the regular agreement is that but I kinda have been slackin and at my moms when she 'locks me up for the night' I tend to find something else to do rather than sleep! I will let you know how my first week of this challenge goes!

Have a great week! PS: check out my last post!

Love ya,
Sydney

I have been busy lately! Last weekend including Thursday and Friday, I babysat everyday! I didn't have school because of conferences!! Mine was, okay. I survived! Anyway... No need to talk about school right now. I'm a little random today if you haven't noticed! Anyway... Like I said last weekend I babysat everyday! It was a lot of fun! I seriously could babysit every day! I was txting my Kiley last night and we both agree that,we really don't want different jobs! Were both sitters and LOVE every moment off it!


Right now, I am sitting at the laptop desk thing, no make-up, haven't eaten anything. I feel bad because I should be babysitting for my sister but shes fine! Well, I just wanted to update you guys but I should probably get ready for my day of shopping with my aunt Beth, Beth's friend Annie, my mom and my sister! It should be fun! Well have a great day!


PS: PLEASE email or comment idea's you want me to talk about because I am running out! Ya, I can talk about my life and junk but I'd like some ideas too...

Icky icky, no more please!

This past week (including today) I have been loosing my voice, holding a headache, coughing, sneezing, and blowing big snot bubbles out of my nose. I, like many others, hate with a capital H being sick! I have been getting better and last night I took some Night Quill and slept until noon! It felt absolutely amazing. I can breath out of my nose every once and a while but not often. I took some cough drops threw out today. Hoping to get rid of this stupid cold very very soon so I get out and not worry about having a thing of Kleenex's near all the time! I am hoping and praying that I will have a magic spill tonight because my assistant for teaching the little first graders at church is loosing her voice so were going to really have to work together to act energetic at 9am!

No more Bon-bons and chips


Hey there! So Tuesday I went to the gym for the first time in like a month! It's ridiculous.... The moment I walked inside I told myself my punishment for not working out as much as I should is a Jillian Challange. That was my plan. What is a Jillian Challange? Well I kinda made it up. It's were I go on a treadmill or elliptical and just go! I love treadmills the most so I try to go on those more (if ones open). I ran seven out of twenty minutes. Now that honestly is not alot but it was hard! I wish I could say my highest what a 6.5 and my lowest was a 4.5 but that failed! I started off right at a 6.5 and went for five minutes (aiming for ten) but my left cafe had a HORRIBLE pain so I lowered to 4.5. Lowered a little more so I could keep up some what of a pace but get this pain out and away. I put it at a 4.0 and said ok I'm gunna have to deal with it. Of course, I gave in and went at a grandma pace of 3.5. I was so angry with myself! I did a little more running and walking to a total of 20 minutes. I wanted to just run and not care about my leg but I figured I better not pull anything! Hopefully I will be able to give more happy gym stories later on!! Have a good FRIDAY!
