"If you want a rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

Have you ever woken up and just knew it wasn't going to be a good day? Well, that happened to me today. Not only did I wake up sick and in a bad mood, I woke up an hour late for school. I ended up calling my father who works at my school and he told me to just stay home for the day and get some rest. I put on a movie and i ended up falling asleep until 4:30 in the afternoon; I wasn't joking when I told you I was sick. When I woke up I no longer felt very sick but I could tell I was grumpy.

Because I had woken up so late I had to go to Madison's house to drop off her tanning lotion before she left to go tan. However when I got to my car I noticed someone had spilled rice all over my car. It was all across my seats and all over the floor. I was livid. I knew exactly who did it because my sister had asked me if she could use my car that day to bring the groceries from her old apartment to our house. I was so mad. I went storming back into the house and awoke her from the nap she was taking to clean it; she refused and I was not impressed. I started yelling at her saying "You can never drive my car again!" and she would just yell back "If I can't use your car, then you can't use my laptop." It was a never ending argument which got worse by the second. My mom finally came into the room and told me that I should just vacuum it and move on. I just spent ten dollars cleaning my car the week before so I didn't even consider cleaning the rice up an option. My dad, being the only grown up about the whole situation took my car to the vacuums uptown and cleaned it for me. However I felt so bad I took his vehicle up and I helped him.

By the time I came home I was having a break down. I was crying and for some reason I cleaned up everything in my sight; but i was still mad. Every time someone talked to me I would yell and throw things. Eventually everyone caught on and just stayed away from me. After I had settled down I called up my friend Courtney and we went for a drive. Courtney always knows what to say in any situation; if you ever need someone to cheer you up, shes the girl. By the end of the car ride I had forgotten everything that went on at home, and everyone at home had forgot about it too.

We all sat down and watched "The Voice" together and everyone got along fine. I have the biggest obsession with Cee Lo Green who stars on "The Voice" and I always go on huge rants about how one day I want to be best friends with him. I even follow him on twitter! My mom was having a good laugh about how badly I wanted to be friends with him when she told me that I was going to meet him in a few weeks. I had no idea what she was talking about so I just kind of ignored her comment. She eventually said " I thought you would be a little more excited to meet Cee Lo, he is opening for Rhianna at her concert." It finally sank in, I was going to meet Cee Lo Green. This was the one thing I have always wanted to do before I died and now ill actually get to do it! I'll meet him on July 16th so if you stay posted I'll let you know how it goes.

Hello. My Name Is:

Welcome to my blog. My name is Ashton and I am a 17 year old girl that lives in a small town in the prairies. The town i live in consists of about 3000 people so you recognize just about everybody. There's not many things for people to do in a small town so i am going to give you an idea of what a teenager would do with their free time.My goal by the end of the next two and a half weeks is to give you a clear vision of what a small town girl would do on a normal basis. I hope you get amused by my articles and get an idea of how it is living in a small town.

Every day I will post telling you what i did the night before, what I plan on doing that night, and on Mondays I'll let you know what i did with my weekend. I can introduce you to all my friends and family along the way and post pictures to help give you a better image of the different things ill be doing.
