Crazy Fit!

To My Dear Lovely Blog,

     Today was an amazing day, I went for a great bike ride as I told you yesterday and it was a great ride. I rode 7.4 miles and had a great time. However we can start with waking up this morning. So today when I woke up at 7:25 I got dressed and did my usual routine, heading to the pool for my two hour swim practice. Swim was so great and after practice I was pretty sore so I stretched a bit and fixed that. Than Dad and I went to the hunting store and I got my first pair of throwing knives! I'm excited to learn something new! Besides this I am taking an interest in archery as well, this is very exciting. Anyway after that I came home and relaxed I decided I would go on that awesome bike ride! This ride started with a simple decision to get on my bike which I just fixed up, and ended 7.4 miles later in exhaustion and satisfaction. I loved it and it was super fun!!! Tomorrow maybe I will go for another one.

Love,

I Never Stop Moving

     Dearest Blog,

            Today was an interesting day. I missed swim practice this morning which was a bit bothersome but I did get to go babysit for an hour in the morning, win some lose some. And upon my return I cleaned the whole house , my mom was so happy and it made me feel great. Has she been right this whole time? Is staying neat and doing things the right way the first time really easier? Ha what a joke nah she can not possibly be right ;). What? What do I know, I'm just a teenager. On a more interesting note I have started a new project. What is it you ask? A secret! I will tell you at a later date because it is for my parents.

           This year my family hosted a foreign exchange student, he is German and is really cool. He has been here already since August, its amazing how time flies. Soon he will be heading back to Germany and I will miss him so much whether I say it to him or not. Chances are when he leaves I will cry. He has been such a great host brother and I am so glad I met him. Luckily for us he isn't leaving right at the end of the school year because his parents are coming here to get him!! I know right we get to meet his dad, his mom, and his little sister. I'm so, so, so excited!!!

            On a final couple of notes I have swim practice tomorrow morning bright and early. FINALLY, I have finally recovered enough to go to swim practice after ripping my pectoral muscle off my shoulder. I hope I wont be too tired. Randomness right here but I just realized how much I love listening to music when I work out, its too bad that the pool doesn't have underwater surround sound. I mean that would be so awesome right!! After swim I get to go babysit again and dye Easter eggs with the little boy across the street! Hes sooooo adorable!! Well goodnight my little blog, sweet dreams to all.

Love,

    Elyssa <3

Normal Day

Dearest Blog,

     Its me again, and I had the greatest day! It all started with my daily swim practice, and seeing as its spring break practice was held in the morning. WHICH I LOVED!!! It was so great and I had a amazing time working out, I worked so hard I'm so glad I did and I know it will pay off. And after I had an amazing work out I got to eat breakfast and go babysit that cute little boy I told y'all about yesterday, we had so much fun! Plus I cleaned the kitchen, walked the neighbors dog and even got to take a nap. What a productive day if I do say so myself! After I had finished all of this productiveness I had to take some me time. So my brother offered to go for a longboard with me. We had tons of fun and skated about 3 miles. Tomorrow after swim were going to go to for a bike ride. Maybe about 4 or 5 miles to start. Well than I will post again tomorrow "my little lemon drops" ~The Gradual Report.

Love,

      Elyssa<3

Tuesdays Quotes

Love the earth and sun and animals,Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,Stand up for the stupid and crazy,Devote your income and labor to others...And your very flesh shall be a great poem. 

Walt Whitman

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities 

or pride; so I love you because I knew no other

way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'.

So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so

close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Pablo Neruda.

It's the times we're so crazy,

that people think we're high.

It's the times we laugh so hard,

we can't help but cry.

It's all the inside jokes  

and "remember whens".

those are all the reasons

that we're best friends!
