Happy Memorial Day!

  Hey everyone!  Happy Memorial Day!  I'm not really going to be doing much for Memorial Day, sadly, but that's okay, I guess.  ;]  Everyone enjoying their day off of school?! :D

  Well, today I'm not going to do too much.  XD  I'll probably hang out with my little neighbor {here's a post that has to do with her!}, we've hung out every day this weekend.  ;]  We'll probably dress up all of my dolls {and her doll, too!}, and then totally change her idea of what she wants to do.  XD  That's what usually happens.  So, I expect we'll draw/color, I'll probably do her hair, and we'll go outside.  I love hanging out with her, though, she's a pretty awesome first grader. ;]

  OH!  Our pool is ALMOST ready, which I am SO very excited about!  My dad said that it will most likely be ready to swim in by the last day of school {Wednesday, if you're wondering}, so I will get home from school and jump into the water.  XD  Gah, I am just SO excited!

A terrible picture of our pool!  :D  {{Oh, and that's a floatie thing over on the far end of the pool  deck.  If you were wondering.  XD}}

Pool ladder!

  Along with our pool-and along with summer-in this part of the world comes . . .

This frog here is hiding between a loose board on the wall of the pool deck and the wall. XD

  FROGS!  XD  You always know that summer's on its way when you start to hear the frogs harmonize together.  They sing mostly at night {perhaps their song should be called, "Summer's Lullaby"! XD}, so I always fall asleep to their chatter.  :]

  Well, I hope you all have a lovely Memorial Day!

XOXO,
Carolyn

A Special Thank You!

  If you can't already tell, my blog looks so very different right now!  And why is that?  The ever-so-lovely Jeneca designed my blog for me!  <3  LOVE YOU SO MUCH, GIRLYPOO!  This is the prettiest my blog's ever looked, I think.  :]  The yellow is so summery, and it's my favorite color, so . . . it's perfect.  Thank you, gracias, merci . . . in whichever language you like. ;]

  Now, with this lovely new design, I made two new headers that are summery and go along with the colors well.  Which one do you prefer?

  This first one has four summer pictures {that I adore, might I add} that I took last year with "Truly, Utterly, Carolyn" in the blue and yellow of my design and then "utterly me" in gray.

  I've been kind of imagining this header up for a long time.  I also took these pictures last year and thought they would make a cute header.  So, all pictures are in a Poloroid frame with "Truly, Utterly, Carolyn" in my blue and yellow.  :]

  I think I'll stick with my first header for a while, and maybe switch off to the second if I get bored with my current one.

  Two days 'til school's out, no school tomorrow!  :D  WOOT, WOOT!

Lots of Love and Lollipops, Too,
Carolyn

  This post that you're reading right now is my official one hundredth post.  And I don't want to be cliche and cheesy, but this is a very special occasion for me.  And why's that?

  If you didn't already know, last summer, I lost all of my Google accounts.  Yes, all of them.  Know what that means?  The thousands of pictures shared on my Picasa and on my blogs all went away.  I had almost been blogging for a year, and I had forty nine followers, over one hundred posts.  I had over one hundred albums on my Picasa, and lots and lots of followers {I don't even KNOW how many}.  Then, all that hard work was deleted forever.

  Creating new blogs and a new Picasa account was something that I was almost scared of.  I didn't want to have to start over, I wanted to go back to my blog with the almost-fifty followers and my Picasa with some photography that I was so very proud of.  But I knew that nothing better would come from me totally leaving the face of the internet-world.  And so I made The Demi-God Dancer, and that is the blog you're reading now.

  But look at my blog now!  I'm so, SO, proud of it.  I have forty three amazing followers, and over six THOUSAND pageviews.  I can't thank you guys enough for getting me to this pointe.  I love you all so much.  <3

  So, to see how my blog and I have progressed, how about you see every header I've EVER had on this blog!  :D

  This was my very first header on this blog!  These are a couple of my favorite pictures, then AND now! ;]

  I really like this one!  :]  Cute pictures and a bunch of text.  :]

  These two are basically the same, but I changed pictures.  ;]  So, these are my holiday headers!  :D  Which one do {or did} you prefer?

  This is probably my least-favorite header, as it's very boring and the picture quality lessened because of how I re-sized it.  But still!  XD  This is my first Truly, Utterly, Carolyn header!

  I didn't have this header for too long, but I REALLY like it.  The color scheme was really cute!

  And here's my current header!  This one might be my favorite. :]  These are my favorite colors, so . . . yeah.  XD

  Well, I just want to thank all of you so, SO, much for getting me here.  I love each and every one of you, and . . . thank you for following my blog, I couldn't have done it without you.

Love, Love, Love,
Carolyn

In Which I Rave About the Almost Summer-Ness

  Oh my applesauce!  {{Uh.}}  It's ALMOST SUMMER.  Please wait while I go and do a happy dance.

**INSERT HAPPY DANCE HERE**

  Okay, so anyways.  XD

  I only have THREE days of school left!  HALLELUJAH!  I had an end-of-the-year field trip today, I have track and field events tomorrow, then no school on Monday, we're doing Survivor Games {which I will call the Hunger Games} on Tuesday, and last day of school on Wednesday!  So, I am extremely, EXTREMELY, happy!  XD

I don't know if you can see it, but in this picture, you can see {out of focus} my neighbor swinging!

  I do believe you know about what I'll be doing over the summer, so I won't drone on about that.  {{And if you don't know, and you want to, click here!}}  But once it's June, I will be the happiest girl ever.  :]  Before June, though, I must get a couple things done!  XD

THINGS TO DO IN JUNE

1. Buy a swimsuit {because I must get a new swimsuit.  Or two.  Or three.}
2. Swim.  Lots.
3. Invite friends over for a "SCHOOL IS OVER, HALLELUJAH!" pool party. ;]
4. Read Delirium
5. Get new songs on my iPod
6. Buy a Florence + The Machine CD
7. Wish my bestest friend Makenna a VERY happy Birthday!
8. Have my friend from my old town over
9. And introduce her {^} to some friends in this town!
10. Write.Write.Write.

  So, June is going to be a lovely month, I do hope.  :]  I do believe that dance and tennis start out in June, too.  So . . . yay!  XD

  Well, I hope you've all had a lovely day, and have a lovely rest of the school year, or rest of May, or rest of . . . anything?  XD

Love, Love, Love,

Carolyn

By the  by, I wanted to add this little tidbit that happened a while ago:

Me: **Brushing hair** I'm not going to brush my hair right now, since I don't FEEL like it!

Mom: Oh, you rebel you!

Me: OH YES.

Cute Little Things

  Hey all!  :D  Sorry I haven't posted too much lately, I've been . . . well, I really haven't  been too busy . . . I don't know.  I just haven't been blogging much at all.  XD  I really do apologize.

  ANYWHO!  ;]  So, the other day, my dad called my brother and I outside.  He'd been working on our landscaping {yes, my dad does our landscaping, not my mom. XD}, so I was expecting him to want to show us some plants or something.  {{That would've been rather boring, might I add.}}  But instead, he showed us this ADORABLE little thing!

  Yep, he showed us a little bunny!  He was hopping around, so shaky because of all the people crouched around him.

 
  But my goodness, it was so CUTE!  XD  I have a soft spot for little animals.  Well, little things in general, I guess.

  It was hiding under this little cut off tree branch.  Pretty cute, if I do say so myself.  ;]

  I hoped you enjoyed those random pictures!  XD  I don't post too much photography on here, obviously, but I do on Friends Through Photos, which is the photography collab blog I'm in.  I'm week 2- Friday!  :D  So look out for me there.  ;]

  Anyways, let's not let this post be just about baby bunnies.  XD  I'm going to talk about SCHOOL.  {{How boring!  XD}}

  So, as all of y'all that live in the States {well, most of y'all, I guess}, you know that SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT!  For us, school gets out on Wednesday the 30th, so I have only SIX days of school left!  :D  {{We don't have school on Memorial Day, by the way.}}  Also, one of those days we'll be gone all day on a trip, so that's exciting!  :D

  So, once school is out, then what happens?  Good question.  XD  I usually think I'll blog more, but that doesn't always happen.  Why?  I do better on a schedule.  My life is quite scheduled during the school year.  Mondays are free.  Tuesdays I have dance.  Wednesday I have piano lessons and Church.  Thursday I have dance.  Fridays are free.  Saturday I have dance and sometimes Church.  Sunday I have dance and sometimes Church.  Add homework and practicing French horn in there, and you've got my life!  XD

  But in summer, I can do whatever I really want.  Therefore, I don't manage my time well.  {{And I admit it.  XD}}  This summer, I really want to stay more on track, to get more done.  I really want to read a lot, and write, and practice my instruments.  I will have more to do, though, as I know I'll be in tennis, dance {yep, summer dance classes this year!  YAY!}, and I'll also be babysitting.  :D

  Also, I'll be on vacation for a while. :]  I know I'm going to one place for about a week, and then some other mini-vacations for about three days.  So . . . yeah.  XD

  Well, hope this made sense and wasn't too painfully long.  XD

Love,
Carolyn

Just Because! {{Hunger Games Humor}}

  I have been loving this Tumblog lately.  Indeed I have.  And so I am posting some great things.  XD

  I cracked up at that.  I really did. XD

  I was looking at this blog in class and found this.  And oh my deary, I was laughing.  I even showed Makenna.  XD  And by the way, Josh, you have one HEAVENLY jaw line.  <3  XD

  THAT'S SO CUTE.  XD

  Sorry this post was short and boring.  I'll make another post ASAP!  XD

Love you ALL,
Carolyn
