packing for women for trip

well you all heard that i and 4 other people are going trip a 3 day trip down to Lansing mi our state capitol. we all make mistake in packing, This the first time i am going with a new group. i am excited, nervous, scare and freaking out . i am waiting impatient for this day to come. and all i have to prepare for the best and not hope for the worst. i know am going have fun. i will learn a lot when i go. i know i can do this. i just wanna make every one proud of me. as i look forward to the to trying new thing, i am hoping that my friend will follow me in my journey as i go.  

Tip for packing

1.       Place curling iron, straightening iron, hot rollers, or any other hair styling tools  mirror between clothes because they break easy

2.       Jewelry (a few versatile earrings, necklaces, and rings will go a long way; fortunately, though, jewelry is small. It's best to store these pieces in small bags to prevent loss, tangling, and damage.

3.       Make a list...and check it twice. Using a packing list will make sure you not only cut down on items to bring, but also remember to bring underwear (you'll never forget underwear twice by the way

4.       Don’t pack what’s already there.

5.       Hairdryers are suitcase hogs and the majority of hotels now come complete with one in the room, so check the hotel web site and leave it behind. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, cotton balls and Q-tips are also standard staples. Certain hotels I look forward to their products. I can smell people in Santa Monica and tell which hotel they are staying at. Beach towels also fill-up half your bag, so another good thing to check ahead of time.

6.       zip lock plastic bags- for snacks, toiletries, keeping outfits together, keeping socks together, keeping wet stuff from ruining the rest of the clothes in the suitcase

7.       Highlight any items on the list that need to be purchased prior to your departure. These items can be added to your shopping list so that you have everything you need before leaving on your trip.

8.       Check the weather at your destination. You can do research on weather websites to have an idea of how the weather would be like during the time that you would be at your destination. Colder climates would necessitate you to pack heavier clothes that would keep you warm, such as jackets, sweaters and coats. Warmer, tropical climates would allow you to bring lighter articles of clothing, such as dresses and tank tops.

9.       If you like to take pictures, pack a camera.

10.    Make sure that any medications are easy to access -- in your carry-on or in a purse or pouch you can reach easily in the car.

11.    Don't forget to lay everything out and make a checklist to ensure you have everything you need.

12.    Buy travel-sized toiletries for your trip, so you can easily dispose of them after your trip and save space in your luggage.

13.    Bring items such as a book or a notebook and pen to keep you entertained.

14.   Organize, organize, organize. You know those bags you get when you buy a nice pair of shoes? Use them to separate bras, underwear, socks, tights, dirty clothes, whatever. They help make things easier to find and can save space, too.

15.    Cut the static. Pack little plastic bags filled with fabric softener sheets in your suitcase and leave them there for future travels as well. If you get static cling, you’ll be so happy you have them!

Rolling thunder Soccer team / sportmanship

A couple week ago. i was at my first Special Olympics soccer tournament. i made 3rd captain there are 2 more captain beside me. we lost all three game. the second we got bad sportsmanship from the team we were play against. they where talking trash against our team. so i pull my team together and told them not to worry about it. at least rolling thunder was working hard and trying to get goal and in till somebody had to get hurt. we play the other team 2 week later and we lost one game tie the second and they still trash talk us. rolling thunder is making improvements and getting better. i don't know if we play another game before we go to state. all i know my team will be ready and prepare even though we have a couple of 1st years. i don't know why the other team didn't know sportsmanship but i know the rolling thunder had sportsmanship or fair i know. 

What Is Sportsmanship?

Sportsmanship is defined as:

• playing fair
• following the rules of the game
• respecting the judgment of referees and officials
• treating opponents with respect

Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports — in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.
But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders, fans, and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.

soccer is a game of mind,thinking,teamwork,believing in each other and making mistakes :)

Team-friends stick with you, kick the ball with you, make goals with you, and always there to support you!

we play as a team and we never give up... soccer ♥

Warning play soccer at your own risk. Consists of muscle pain, dirtiness,pain, and having a fun time even though your about to pass out : )

You'll never win if you're afraid to lose.

‎"Good players practice till they get it right, Great players practice till the never get it wrong"~ unknown
. the butterflies before the whistle blows for the beginning of a soccer game ♥

If you don't believe you can win then there is no point in getting out of bed at the end of the day

we play as a team and we never give up... soccer ♥

i am scared and nervous about tomorrow game. i hope the rolling thunder soccer team can get the act together and start playing as a time. even if we are one member down. that mean twice the work. 

Soccer team stand as a team nothing can ever separate us. If you try to screw us over we will come back and take you down.

.Heading to the soccer game. Good luck to all four teams. we got beat by the wildcats. we try of best.

One of the three captains this is my first year doing captain. It differently hard being a captain and trying not get mad at the team. I have pay respect to the team if you want it back. And having patience is the key to a success.

If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.

Some play for fun, Some play for popularity, some play like me... they play to win, play hard and play to just be in the game they love Soccer!

A tribute to someone special to me

Today 3 year ago i lost a very loving family to me. I miss her dearly to me. That is my grandma. she went to heaven today. There are time I wish  that we spent more time with her. When I found out that she died i thought it was a snow day but it wasn't  so i went down stairs to see what going on. then my family told me that grandma has past away. I was crying. My family member call us in to school to let them know that brother and i where going be absent for a couple day because of the funreal. We went to school to pick up our homework for the day we where going be gone. Some of my teacher where understanding what happen to us. I had to going and go see all of my teacher the only i didnt see was mr. hawkins and i had a sub for one of my other class. One of my teachers let me off the hook with no homework. i got all my homework from my teacher and i saaid bye to my friends that took alittle longer then my brother that was a freshmen at the time and i was a sophomore. after we got our homework we had to go to kmart and get us some clothes for the funreal or the trip down to Jacksonville ill and  i was on crutches at the time because my spine my right ankle and end up with it broken 6 month later because my brother chase me down the stairs with a remote and a game and a cellphone probley.

I Miss You

I think about you all the time,
And everyday it hurts to cry.
So much has happened in my life,
I'm not sure how hard to try.

Tears are falling constantly,
My heart hurts everyday.
I think about your beautiful smile,
That I pray I see again someday.

The sweet smell of your perfume,
Has slowly faded away.
But all your helpful teachings,
Are always here to stay.

I can't express how much you taught me,
So much I can't explain.
All the times I can remember,
Never once heard you complain.

So many hearts were broken,
The day God called you home.
It seems as though each one of us,
Were left to survive alone.

I know there was a reason,
That you had to leave.
To keep us in your watchful eyes,
So now in God I really do believe.

It hurts

Few day ago I found out that they where let the St. Joes work crew go. I was on that crew three day weeks and making good money. I spent two day crying because I had no other work beside my volunteer job.  It was because of budget cuts. It was hard to say goodbye where Iwork for a half of school year. The good news they want us to come back and work this summer maybe. Layoff means

The act of suspending or dismissing an employee, as for lack of work or because of corporate reorganization.

Losing a family member is where someone dies.   

 So i ask my friends on fb this question "I don't know what is worst losing a family member or getting layoff you tell me?"
the first person said" Losing a family member is the worst. "
2 person said "Definitely"
3 person that is my sister " Depends on who died"
4 the four person "Don't give up sweetheart, just take a deep breath, and God will lead the way! Hang in there, and I am here for you.... "
I have said "Thanks I need a cheer up"
And the last person said "Hang in there Violet! You're a strong person and can get through anything! Losing someone is the worst.. You can get them back.. you can always find another job.. maybe not tomorrow or six months from now but someday it will all work out... Just keep being positive! I'm here if you need anything :)"
I have to say this atleast I am in a better today then last two days.

my friend are being very supportive right that is also helping me out well i feeling down.  They all doing very well trying there best and cheering me up. Last night I thought I didn't know who I was or who was my friends are. HB was trying her best to keep my mind off what just happen that day. So were my friends are doing the same thing. I even try and make my laugh at work. I try everything. Didnt know why it was so hard to give this one. And was easier to give up the other ones i work at. Like the chamber of  commerce I work there for a half of school year and the glass slipper for the other half of that school. Plus I had my the main office that I really didnt or I did care for. Then i had the OHHS custodian and i love doing that i am contuine to do today. Then last summer i work at the boy scout camp that was a lot of fun and hot. They too want us to come back. I am looking for to doing that this summer.
