Last Slice

Today's the last slice,
I think it's sad as can be.
I know I'm not alone,
For there are others like me.

Today's the last slice,
Boy it's been a struggle,
To post every day,
Though it's harder to juggle

Today's the last slice,
It's been so much fun!
To read other slices,
Some about the sun.

Today's the last slice,
I don't want it to end,
But at least we get soda,
And Starbucks, to blend. 

Today's the last slice,
We've done it everyone,
We've sliced everyday,
In the rain or the sun.

We're Done!


P.S. My mom and I were able to go to all 18 pools!

Every Single Pool

Yesterday, my mom and I decided that we would go to every single hot tub/ pool at Pagosa Hot Springs. The Springs has a total of 23 pools, 18 that I will be able to go to (5 are 18 years and over); so far we have been to 9 of the pools, exactly half way. Even if the pools are too hot, my mom and I have decided that we will stick our foot in and that will count. Today, I hope to complete our challenge by going to the rest of the pools that are open to me at The Springs. We will not be able to go to every single pool because, as I mentioned earlier, there are a few pools that are 18 and over only. Either way, I hope to go to every pool that I can; I'll give you the total in tomorrow's slice.

 

Handmade

I love handmade everything. I also enjoy hand making things. I much prefer to hand make someone a card than get them a store bought card. One of my favorite stores is called 10,000 Villages. 10,000 Villages is a store that sells fair-trade handmade cards, trinkets, ,jewelry and decor from many different countries. I love to look around the store at the chess sets and everything else just to see the pure beauty of everything handmade. I feel like handmade things are disappearing. Nobody seems to mail letters anymore or make someone something; everything is store bought or factory made. I find that handmade things are much more beautiful. I like to think of the person sitting on the floor, stitching bead by bead to make a purse or painting beautiful flowers on to a handmade plate. Handmade might take a while, but it is so much more personal than something that was made by a machine. Mistakes are another thing I love about handmade things; they show that it was made by a human, and that doesn't happen much anymore.

Pagosa Springs

Today, my family and I are going to Pagosa Springs. We have not been on a vacation for a long time, so we are all very excited. We don't go on vacations very often because I swim so much. My coach said that going to Pagosa would actually be a good idea because I have been working so hard and suggested that I take a week or so off. While I am in Pagosa, I will be taking a grand total of (drum roll please)... 4 days off from swimming! I will still swim 3 half hour workouts, just so I don't completely forget how to swim, but they won't be difficult workouts. I can't wait to go soak in the hot springs. I love the hot springs because the pools are all natural and you feel like you are far away from your life at home, but it's only a 4-5 hour drive, which isn't short, but it isn't long either. I'm so excited!

Commenting

Commenting is my favorite part of slicing. I really enjoy reading other peoples slices and then commenting on them. I enjoy reading the slices and commenting because some slices are really funny and are often beautifully written. I try to comment on as many as I can, especially on "slicers" I don't know very well.  I also enjoy reading peoples comments on my slices. I feel like commenting is a way to connect with people through blogging, I actually think that's the whole reason there is the option to comment. Great job slicing everyone, and have a good spring break!

My First Time at EC

Today, I went to EC for the first time. I have never been to EC because my mom has always been at school 10 if not 20 minutes early. Today, my mom had a meeting and my dad was at work so I had to go to EC. As I said earlier, I have never been to EC so I honestly had no idea what to do. At first, I just sat on the couch uncomfortably because my shoes were soaking wet, but then I got bored, so I played Connect 4 with Ellie (Sindler). By the time we had snacks at about 4:00 PM, I had lost several times. After that, Ellie introduced me to the game Yahtzee, which I had never played before; it was really fun. When we were in the middle of our intense game, (okay it wasn't that intense, but still) my mom came to pick me up. It didn't feel like it had been that long, but almost an hour had gone by. My first time at EC was really fun, I'd write more about it, but I am really tired right now and can't wait to get into bed. 

Thanks for reading!
