When you think of a pageant, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Leave your answer in the comments, because I really want to know. Do you think of the very beautiful, talented, "perfect-body-type" competitors? Or do you think of the huge crowns, money, travel opportunities, and other things the chosen competitor receives when she wins the title of Miss "Local", Miss "State" or Miss America. Or is it Miss "Country", and then Miss Universe? It all depends on how you view pageants. I, myself, am a competitor in pageants. Now before you go judging me, hear what I have to say. I am doing it purely for fun. Granted, it is very expensive fun, but then again so is Disney Land/World, Worlds of Fun, Oceans of Fun, and other places. For example, in Kansas City there is a place called the Great Wolf Lodge. A lot of fun and a lot of out-of-pocket expenses. I'd have to save all of my tips for two years to spend a week there. And I make some p...

Okay, I know... Very little about bowling. I know what a spare is, what an open is, hat a strike is, and what a split is. And a little bit about the scoring. But working at a bowling alley doesn't make me a pro bowler. In fact I am very bad at bowling. Instead of using the approach, I walk up to the foul line and throw the ball. And hope I hit the pins instead of get a gutter ball. Not that great at bowling. But it can be fun to bowl when you want to just hang out with friends. Or your siblings. In fact, I get my brother to go bowling with me sometimes, just so we van spend time together. It is a lot of fun. I have a friend that went bowling for his 21st birthday with his brothers and cousin. And all of them got gutter balls except him! Don't ask how, because I have no idea. He got a strike. Which made the whole situation funny. I only know all of this because my brother went with them, and one of his brothers recorded the entire thing, and posted it. Haha! Funny.

I Love reading classic literature. For instance, my most recent visit to the library yielded an autobiography about William Allen White, a biography about the great Benjamin Franklin, a couple of books by Maya Angelou, and a book called "The Tale of Arthur" by J.R.R Tolkien, and a collections of Shakespeare's writings and plays. I love reading stuff like that. It's just me. Whenever I go to the library I always head for the non-fiction section. It might drive some people crazy. But guess what? If they don't like it, that is their problem, not mine! I know that seems cold, but it's true. If someone doesn't like you, that's their problem. You shouldn't have to change who God made you to be in order for someone to like you. My birthday is in a week, I'm turning 18, and I'm just now learning this people! This is a PSA: You can only be the perfect you, because if you aren't the perfect you that Gd created, there never will be a "yo...

Okay, so basketball playoffs started... Whenever they started. I have no idea when they started because it seems like basketball is played year-round. And I googled the playoffs for the 2019 Basketball Playoffs and it didn't tell me when it started, it just told me that another game is being played tomorrow. So, who knows? All I know is that I shoot baskets with my brother for fun, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Shooting baskets is fun. Especially when you have friends that play basketball at school for the sports team likes to show off. It's hilarious because my brother and I miss the basket about... twelve times out of thirteen! Now that's just funny. Anyways, I like shooting baskets, especially if we turn it into a game of P.I.G. Or H.O.R.S.E. They're both fun. Anyways, that's all I have to say right now. I think maybe I'll start following the sports I don't follow, and drive my dad crazy with the obsession. So I guess I'll sign off. I k...

               Okay, I am a huge baseball fan. We're talking HUGE! I love baseball so much. I can't play on a team, because there isn't enough kids in town to play with. So the few of us in town get together and throw the ball around, and we have a bat, so we practice batting as well. My brother and I are into it more than anyone.  So we get to hang out together, and throw a baseball at each other while talking. It is a great way to spend time with someone. Find something you both like, and just spend time doing it together. That's what my brother and I do. and we don't always do stuff that we both like. For instance, my job had an employee party, and we could invite someone to go with us, or 5 family members. But, that wouldn't get my whole family in. One person would have been left out. So I decided to invite just my brother, so we could have some sibling one on one time together. Now, I do like bowling. But my brother doesn't really like ...

So I have changed my blog up a bit with the help of a friend, (Thanks Kaitlyn!) and can't wait to get to work on my new posts.  Stuff should be going up on Mondays, since I have time on Mondays between college classes. If you want to know more about me as a person, I have added an "About Me" page, so you can actually find out something about me rather than wonder.  So, the next thing... What do y'all want to see? Let me know in the comments,  and we can start working together. Sound good? I will be doing some posts on sports, and stuff that I do, but y'all should have a voice too!  So, I'll let you get back to reading blogs, like you have been doing. Enjoy! 😁😁                       ~Tabby~

So here is what has been going on for the past week and a half. Hopefully this will work out better than what I was thinking.  Okay, so let's start at the beginning, shall we? On Thursday, March 21st, 2019 I had a doctor's appointment. After the appointment my mom and I got into the car and started driving home. Mom was driving and I was in the passenger seat texting a couple of people. I was texting them because I was getting kind of depressed and was having some anxiety. Well, more than just "some" anxiety. Anyways, I was texting them. A couple of them were from work. One of them asked what I as doing, and I told him. I have been self harming for a couple of months, and not on my arms so that people can see. I've been doing it on my legs, so that no one would see the scars. Anyways, I told them all what I was getting ready to do. One of them told our boss, and the police were called. My mom and I got home, and she was taking my brother to a class with our h...
