I don't know if anyone noticed but I haven't been around at all in the last week. We had Spring Break here and I've been busier then ever and alot has happened here. I had job training, painting around the house, trying to loose weight, projects, easter celebration, and fun thrown in there. I've been trying to loose weight so I just started on a traditional "diet". I weighed 155 lbs and now I weigh 150. My mom told me it is very easy to loose weight when you're young and I've been eating less and healthier and going on the treadmill. I think I want to slim down to 130-125 lbs. Also as many of you know I am in a special agricultural education program at school and it's with the FFA and we get many opportunities to do things other science classes don't. There is a Horticultural Competition and me and 2 friends made flower arrangement for the category "Mardi Gras" and I had a few pictures to share. I think we have a good chance at winning in our category. We used bright colors and traditional mardi gras colors including dark green, purple, and gold:

We also used a bird of paradise since they come from New Orleans where Mardi Gras is held. We tried to make him look like a peacock sitting in his nest. :D

The masks and ribbon we used to decorate the vase.
and one of the best things...
On easter, a friend mentioned that her two pugs don't get along well and she may have to get rid of the younger one. She is fully house-trained and knows basic obedience. She's from a top notch breeder and she was a runt. She is smaller then other pugs..and my mom said if she was still wanting to get rid of her she can call us and we might be interested..:D There is a slim chance because the lady REALLY loves her and my parents still may say no. She is so spoiled. Her name is Weezie, how cute is that? Here's a pic:
