HOLIDAYS!!!!

Yeah!! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!! I so wish that it could just hurry up and be Thanksgiving! I love the holidays so much. I heard Christmas music playing in a couple of stores in the mall. I wanted to dance. And in Gymboree the little TV show was about Christmas. They wanted the kids to make themselves into a Christmas tree. I was very excited. And in Bath and Body Works they had brought out their fabulous Christmas scents!! I started listening to Christmas music a while ago, but I don't think I will ever get sick of it. I don't think ever before in my life I have gotten so excited about it. I think that the holiday it self is more exciting this year because I have no siblings coming to visit. That makes me sad, but I think that I try to allay my frustration about that by becoming excited about this.

I am taking a Calligraphy class at co-op this year, and I cannot wait to use my new skills for holiday decor, and the like. I have already begun practicing to write the place cards for Thanksgiving.

Another super duper exciting thing about this holiday season is the Nutcracker in Seattle. I can hardly wait to go with my friends. I think I am more excited about the Cheesecake Factory afterwards than the actual ballet.

Anyway, sorry to bore you with my random chatter. Today was a surprisingly good Friday. I hope everyone likes (and can read) my new background. VOTE!! The poll is on the right side of your screen. Happy Holidays!

Yeah For That Candy Holiday In October!!

I am so excited. I love my new background, aren't the ghosts too cute? I absolutley adored them. Plus there was no Halloween word actually used!! (Plus for TCBOTB!) I wanted one with monsters for my lovely playlist, but no one had any. By the way if you are looking for a new background, try Shabby Blog.com,The Cutest Blog On The Block.com, or a new one I just found Hot Bliggety Blog.com. They had some adorable ones.
Anywho, I was very excited to find that it is only 7 days away. Although I do not go trick or treating, fratrinze with all the spooky mean scary stuff, I do quite enjoy this time of the year. Last year as you may recall, I was double bad, I used the words halloween and Hillary Clinton in the same post! I went to co-op dressed as Hillary Clinton. Yes it was quite a scary day! But I also had a oddle of fun with my friends later that night. So this year although I will not get to have fun with my friends, I will get to see them 2 days earlier in Bonney Lake. Maybe we can get in our fun then. But I certainly plan to eat lots of candy (Possibly a candy corn!), maybe even watch a horror movie, and all in all have fun with my sisters. I am not sure about dressing up, or even leaving the house, but still I think I will manage to have a fun Hall.. I mean candy holiday. Cannot wait to see fun pictures of small children in adorable costumes. HINT HINT (Aunt Dawn, Clare, Robyn, and Angelina!) Have a fun holiday! (By the way I don't believe in ghosts, but these were just adorable!)

Oh My GA!!!

Tonight I went to my grandma's church. They are a huge church!! I was helping with the Ga's (Girls in Action) in first grade. What a bunch of crazies!! Those girls were so energetic it was like trying to corral and teach monkeys!! I greatly enjoyed it, but it was tiring. They were over there then, they were over here, or they we're chattering like a couple of squirrels. We first had big group time were we said a verse and the motto. Then it was off to our first game a gift exchange, they only problem the only exchanging was between us and them. We provided all the gifts and once you opened it you kept it! Then off to a time of learning about missionaries in Anchorage, Alaska and a review of some from Budapest, Hungary. Then it was time to make salvation bracelets to hand out next week at the park with a little goody bag. "What do I put on first??" "Will you tie mine?" "Teacher! I can't tie!" "Teacher can you help me?" "Why do I have to put gold on first? I wanted to put red on first!" "Can I tie my own?" "Can I give this to my friend Natalie??" "Teacher!!!! She pulled my hair!" My head is still kind of spinning. The wonderful shouts of the girls was intresting but at the same time confusing. Thankfully I wasn't the only one, my grandma and another adult were in the room. But I tied quite a few knots, told a few girls to calm down more than once, and made 6 trips to the bathroom down the hall. Overall I enjoyed my time with the little girls, I am jealous that they get to go to Ga's what a fun time that is!! Maybe when I am big I will be a Ga leader? Who knows???

To Continue The Am I The Only One

So now in tradition of my aunt and mom I shall share some of my own little freaky quirks. 

Am I the only one who...

1. Doesn't drink milk with their cereal! It already has milk in it duh! 
2. Won't read sad books?? I refuse to read sad books, if someone dies, or if something bad happens I refuse to even consider reading it. That is why at age 13 I seldom read an adult book. 
3. Can't stand cleaning her room, I would much rather wait until it becomes a health code violation to clean it. I don't mind picking up, but vacuuming and dusting YUK!! 
4.  Would rather die than actually have to open up their science book? 
5. Thinks that talking on the phone should be a sport?? Yes I talk on the phone all the time!! And if I am not talking on the phone I am e-mailing! BAAA-D habit! But thankfully my friends love me anyway! 

Have fun with this!! 

Ready? Set? SCHOOL!!

Okay, that fabulous time of year has arrived. That time when things go back to normal, and a pace you know and enjoy. September!! This is one of 4 months in my life when things aren't so crazy. School has it's schedule, church has another, plus co-op. So as summer slows down, I realize how much I love to get back into the regular routine. The routine of math, English, history, social studies, science (yuk!), and reading! I love summer, and all the excitement, and enjoyment it brings to me. But I also must admit to loving school, fall, that candy holiday in October, and most of all THANKSGIVING!!  When I ponder how much I have done during the summer, I begin to be glad that I'll have more time to blog, hurry my book along, and stare out the window at the falling leaves. How much time I will have to do that is yet to be discovered, but it will be more than in summer, that is for sure. Sure I'll miss running from city to city, relative to relative, and fun thing to fun thing. But I won't miss never being at home, and not being able to chill with my notebook and pen. So as fall breeches my senses, and summer fades to my memory, I will stay excited for what mission and plan the Lord has for my life. 

SO HOT!!!!!!

So today I was in the Wal-Mart parking lot with my mom, and we looked at the thermometer. It read 115 degrees at 7:15 at night. We've hit the charts harder than Arizona!  We are in a hottest places around the country zone. I think that currently we are competing with Iraq in the way of heat. Since we don't have air conditioning it has been so hot!! I can't even believe it. I just want to curl up and sleep for 10 hours but it to hot to do even that!! 

My birthday is in 2 days!!! YEAH! I can't wait I will finally be able to ride in the front seat!! Yipee for me!! I am kind of enjoying the weather though, it reminds me of Texas. Where I love!! (I am jealous of my grandparents!!!) I hope to cool off by taking a cold shower in about 10 minutes, but who knows?? Can't wait for Centrifuge next week!!! 

Tribute to Famous People

Today I was watching some stuff on Michael Jackson who has recently died. I thought to my little self, "Self how sad would it be to be a part of his family?" I thought about if I had been what a tragedy this would be. He had kids and wife, a mother and father, and a few siblings that will all be hurting terribly. Michael Jackson will be remember throughout the ages as a pretty cool singer. Someone who had a lot of influence on music and culture. I am not sure about Michael Jackson's walk with God. I am pretty certain that he wasn't a Christian, but if he was he turned away. I pray that the Lord could change the hearts of his family through this awful tragedy. I hope that they will be moved by this hurt in their lives.

I also was reading somethings about Billy Mays who also died as of late. He was a excellent salesmen and a pretty cool guy. I was talking to my sister and we both said what a tragedy this was. How awful it'll be to have no one to yell at me on commercial breaks!! But still the hurt in the lives of his family and friends must be terrible. His memory will live in many hearts. But just as I am not sure of Michael Jackson's decision in they way of God, I don't know about Billy Mays or his family. But I will be praying that through this their families will find our God.

There will be a lot of hurting in this current month and months to come. Please be praying for these families and friends.
