Welcome!

So I just started up this blog, got it all pretty, and now I'm ... blogging. :) I know this sounds silly for some people, but it's a great way to keep people updated since everybody seems to be too busy to talk.

A quick update on the life of Phoenix:

• I work at Color Me Mine as a "Team Member" and I absolutely love it there for the most part. My boss is wacky yet cool, my coworkers are super laid back, and all the customers are *usually darling to work with! Working with kids and artistic adults is a great experience and I hope to stay there long enough to become an assistant manager.
• A Sonic Drive-In is opening in Santee on Monday (woohoo!!), my dad says we're going to go, I'm more than excited to finally taste the delicious bites they show on commercials all the time! The only thing is ... it'll be busy.
  
• I recently bought a Sea World Silver Passport [annual pass] that I plan to use a lot this summer.
• It's Spring Break for me!

So Thursday night, or should I say morning? I woke up to a stomach pain that felt familiar. After a few trips to the bathroom, that pain quickly went away, and I fell asleep soundly, only to start shivering uncontrollably when it was not even very cold. The shivering would not stop and my body weakened at every movement, so I called my dad on his cellphone at around 3 in the morning to ask for a blanket. Both my parents woke up rushed to my room and acted like I was a sick 7 year old about to die. All I wanted was a blanket. For another 30 minutes after receiving another blanket, I could not stop shivering. My parents took my temperature and stayed awake until I fell asleep. I have amazing parents! I'm 17 and still need their help. I'm definitely thankful for them, because I would not have been able to fall asleep at all without that extra blanket.
So Thursday night's morning wake ups made me sleep until 11 AM Friday morning. I didn't go to school because I wasn't feeling well enough to take tests and speak in front of people, let alone drive. So I slept pretty much the whole day, with a lunch in between, and ended my day watching TV with my mom and dad while eating some spicy ribs of my mom's own recipe.

Just a note, I want to take a picture a day. I'm hoping I'll stay motivated enough. I'll start Monday, the real beginning of my spring break.


My dad asked me to take a picture for my Aunt Chan for Facebook, we tried getting a good one out of my dad and mom, but my dad always looked high, or my mom never looked, I thought this one expressed both personalities of my mom & dad the best.
