Me being Ski-ish

Hey, this is a pic I found that my dad took of me getting ready to go down a black slope on my trip at Massanutten! Yeah, I have my own goggles, but I don't wear them, I am too cool for them... haha, JK!

Cheesy, Funny, but cheesy

Okay, so I was chatting with Will tonight about how his cruise went. Yes, he went on a cruise, it was one of his prizes for winning "Jeopardy!" This was part of our conversation:

me: catch any sun?                                       
Will: yep
Will: except it was kinda hot
so i let it go

I was laughing so hard and my brothers were looking at me like I was an alien... I had to explain it to Jared-I wonder why. "He who laughs last, thinks slowest." Apparently Jared thinks slowest. He claims he is too young to understand, at least that is what he said when I asked him why he didn't get it. He finally got it. Just wanted to share with you!

:) :) :)

New Song Obsession!

I am currently obsessed about a newer song, It is by Chris Brown, and I think it is his most recent song. It is called 'Yeah 3x.' I absolutely love it! It is a great dance song, and fun and the chorus is so easy. Check it out!

Extreme Vanity Makeover: Makeup Edition

1/11/11

Since I hurt my knee on Christmas day, did I not mention that? Yes, I hurt my knee on Christmas day, and the doctor, Dr. Ireland, has scheduled me an MRI tomorrow to check the tendons and ligaments and stuff since the x-ray didn't show anything... that is beside the point. Since I was injured, I was unable to compete at the meet my gymnastics team went to on Sunday, so I decided to do a little cleaning. Yes, I clean. I cleaned and reorganized my entire makeup vanity and collection stuff so it looks really nice and clean now...

P.S. I wrote this post on 1/11/11 but didn't add photo until 1/12/11 so the mri thing is inaccurate...

MRI- Magnetic Resonance Imaging



Me and my medical bracelet

 Today I had an mri done. Afterwards, I felt like I was drugged, even though they never gave me anything and I was awake the whole time. So, this is how my mri went: I arrived there, a little nervous and we signed in and I received a medical bracelet. Soon, the nurse lady called me back and asked me a couple of questions about my knee, the injury, etc. After about 5 minutes, the tube for the mri opened up and I got in. The nurse helped to situate my knee in the special, smaller tube that did the special x-ray for my knee and then she gave me headphones, but I could barely hear the music during the whole thing. The nurse pushed the bed I laid on into the big tube and turned it on, and it was soooo loud. I think that is where the post-headache came from... Just when I was starting to get bored, I counted how many songs I had listened to and estimated how much time it had been, some dude came in and said I was done. He pulled me outta the tube and took the smaller tube off my knee and let me go put my jacket and earrings and stuff back on and then I left. As soon as I stood up from the bed, I felt dizzy and slightly nausiated. Yes, I had to take off anything with metal on it, earrings, clips, bobby-pins, shoes, belts, etc. I was very bored, it was not as scary and claustrophobic as I thought, (thanks mom,) so I guess it went better than planned, except for the post stuff. Yeah, basically, that was my mri, it took about 50 minutes approx. and if I remember any info later, I will post it at a later date.

Excite Night 2011

The results are in... UK Gymnastics vs. Northern Illinois vs. Illinois, UK is the winner!!! It was so much fun and it was very worthwhile going to. I had a great time with Julia and got to meet some of her Legacy teammates, including an incredible level 8, 8 year-old named Kyla. Here are some pics I took with my high-tec camera!

SPARKLES!!!!

OMG! I got a really pretty dress today and it is sooo beautiful! I wish I could tell you what it looks like, but that would make it not a surprise for anything... I showed it to my dad on me, and he got teary eyed and red faced. It was sweet and I am sure I blushed in embarrassment. I already got cat hair on it! Grr. Oh well, it is so beautiful!

Pre-Excite Night!

UK Gymnastics team huddle 2011

I am so excited for Excite Night 2011! For those of you who have no clue whatsoever what Excite Night is, it is the very first competition for UK gymnasts, and it is like the grand opening showing the season has started and they usually have performers and activities and contests and lotsa fun stuff. Even if you don't know anything about gymnastics, it is very entertaining to watch and is very amazing. I remember back to when I was younger than 7, not competing in gymnastics and knew literally nothing about gymnastics, I would go and watch and just loved it, I think it kind of spurred my interest in Gymnastics. You don't have to be a gymnast to go and it is inexpensive and a great show that you will remember. 

If you are interested in going, it is at Memorial Coliseum (where the UK women's basketball plays) and it is at 6:30 pm, but there are activities beforehand. It lasts anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on how many teams are competing and how many gymnasts are on each team. For a short video of last year and more information, go to http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/w-gym/kty-w-gym-body.html and check it out, it is really worth going to! Honestly, the video on the website doesn't do the event justice, it makes it look pitiful. I will be there, as well as Julia and hope to see you too! Ticket information down below image.

Happy New Year... Late!

So I know this is really late, 6 days late, but still, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Even though I did a post on New Year's Day, I never actually said the words, 'happy new year,' so there you go! Do you have a resolution? Have you ever had a resolution... (Me and You! :) Inside joke...) I have two this year, and have never had any before. This year, my whole family is going to try to go the whole year without eating McDonald's, and my own personal resolution, to not drink any pop whatsoever. (Good luck with that, self!) This post really doesn't have much in it, but I thought I would entertain you with a picture of myself that I took of a really weird, Lady Gaga-ish makeup look I did when I was bored on New Year's Eve to celebrate. It made me laugh, so enjoy and happy new year!

e.l.f. is very bad at placing orders...



e.l.f. shimmer facial whip in camilia

http://www.eyeslipsface.com/elf/face/shimmer/shimmering_facial_whip



Okay, so the e.l.f. order that I spoke of not too long ago was great and I am satisfied with what I received and hope my friends are enjoying them too. Unfortunately, they sent me the wrong item... Instead of sending me the facial whip in camilia, (shown above,) they sent me Brightening Eye Color in Nouveau Neutrals, (shown below.) This is very frustrating for me because this is the second time it has happened with the same order. I am confused and even though I was to receive the item free, since they put it on my packing slip, I feel as though I deserve the right product. So... currently, I have two Nouveau Neutrals that I didn't even pay for and no Camilia Facial Whip.

Is this right for me to feel they owe it to me or not? After all, it is their fault they sent the wrong item. Comment below with your opinion.

Lookin all Christmas-y

2010 was a good year... everyone in my family experienced new things, Tyler became a middle schooler, I won 1st in state in gymnastics, Jared made an awesome friend named Baylen, aka Bayla, my mom injured her arm and has been off work for a lonnng time so it can heal (it still hasn't), my dad quit a job he needed to, for his own good. We also found out that my great- grandmother has breast cancer and she won't be around much longer... I skipped to prep-op silver and basically skipped three whole levels of gymnastics, had to switch gyms because UK shut ours down, Jared took up viola, Tyler has progressed soooo much at piano and I hope he will continue because he has a natural talent for it, my mom finally got some stuff done at our house that she wanted to, we got a brand new Prius, we went skiing, we got a brand new flat screen tv... The list goes on and on, and is filled with things both good and bad, but they all made us stronger and more or less so closer as a family (literally closer in the Prius :)...)  and I am just hoping that 2011 brings an even better year with it for the Conn family and friends! Have a great year!

Butt Sledding

So, over winter break, I went to my grand parent's house for a BIGGGG party with almost everyone on my dad's side of the family. Since it was a big family gathering, there were about 15 kids, ranging in age from 3 years to 15 years and at one point, we all got bored because all of the adults were talking, so we all went outside with our gloves and mittens, coats and hats, sweaters and scarves, and decided to build a snow fort. That got old fast because the ground was mainly coated with ice, and just a little bit of snow on top of the ice... (it was very deceiving.) yeah, it was pretty hard to build a snow fort out a ice. Then, my brothers started to climb up the big hill, about 3 feet up, then scoot back down. *Lightbulb!* Soon, all of us, with the exception of the two three years old, started climbing up and sliding down, climbing up and sliding down, until the hill, (it is actually a mountain,) looked like this.We climbed (by we, I mean myself and the older cousins) climbed as high up as 20 feet. In the picture, Jared is standing there in front of it to show how large it was. It was very steep and we pretty much destroyed any grass that was left, as well as getting a numb butt and brown/green stained, frozen pants. Haha, but we had a great time and no one was hurt! :)
