My Room, Currently

Hmmm...What does this say about my willpower and organizational skills?

Happy New Year!

I had a very merry christmas I hope you all had a happy holiday too. My favorite christmas present with an android smartphone which I am now using 2 pock my toast. It is not my fault if this comes out all jumbled and what not because I am using this voice thing a ma bob. I got lots of lovely presence would take a long time to list but will be difficult to figure out how to do a bulleted list on this teeny little screen. Why does this not have better grammar and why am I too lazy to correct it? Well, happy new year!

Rants about Present-Wrapping

So. Our Christmas tree is out and decorated and trying it's best to cover the presents we've tried to shove under it and probably also trying to poke us whenever we get too close. Like when we try to shove another newly wrapped present under it.

Have I ever told you about how annoying wrapping presents is? Especially when that present isn't in a box. L&B's presents are similar...and I tried to wrap Beth's. When our home teachers came over they said it looked like a turkey. And it does. So now we all say that Beth's getting a turkey for Christmas. Lily's I just threw in a bag. Thomas' is ball-shaped and was horribly awkward to try to wrap, because I made a cylinder of wrapping paper around it, then tried to twist the sides like those candy things, but the paper was too short, so then I just taped the twistyish things to the rest of the paperish thing. Yeah. Dad's is an oddly shaped object as well, and didn't turn out well either. I have no idea what to get for mom. A weird little poem or story thing just isn't that great. At all.

So. Have a very merry Christmas and happy holidays and gave a great new year!



Um. Yeah...
That's it.
Bye.

Nom Nom Nom

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We had an awesome time out here, with Grandma Linda, Grandpa Tom, Janine, Brian, Cora, and Sam. We ate lotsa yummy food and had a great time... We had...

• turkey
• mashed potatoes
• gravy
• cranberry sauce
• green bean casserole
• stuffing
• spinach salad (which was actually pretty good)
• rolls
• pecan pie
• pumpkin pie
• chocolate pudding pie
• lime pie
• pecan pie - from JC :D

So yummy! Thanks to everyone who helped cook!! Mom, I wish you had been here...

We went to the art museum today. We were going to see this dinosaur stuff, but when we got there it ended up that it was last year's November. Talk about not updating their website. Or answering their phone. We ended going to a different art museum. Sam was soooooo cute!!!! He would run around a display making strange little happy sounds. It was hilarious. The art was cool...and the little kids went on a scavenger hunt for the art on their bingo sheets. What a good way to get kids to pay attention to stuff they would whine and complain to get away from...wow that was a poorly constructed sentence...at the end... ANyWAyyy....Then we just sort of hung around...ordered pizza...played Thunderstone...played on the computer...actually blogged...

Pre-Thanksgiving Whatnot

Oh, yeah, also, don't forget to check Pen, Pencil, & Keystrokes, because I've been posting all the writing I've had to do for school...anyways...so...

This week we only have 2 1/2 days of school, Wednesday is a half day (YAY!!!^.^). Today Grandma Linda and Grandpa Tom came out, and were here when I trudged [through the rain and soggy mud] home. They're sleeping in my room and I get to sleep in the library. Oh, joy. Tonight the Prices' are coming. I can't wait! Little CoraBean and her quick little mouth, and SamSam. I can't believe how big he's getting!!

Momma left yesterday morning, before I was awake, to go to California. She gets to see Aunt Lisa, who's finally flying out to America :) and gets to see all the cute little baby cousins. I miss her...

I can't WAIT!!! I'm happy (ish, of course, it would be weird if I was actually happy...ya know...) but I'm not really sure why...oh, wait, DUH I get to spend time with extended family and get to eat lots of yummy food!! ^^

Buh-bye!

School Whatnot

So. I just wrote an essay on the women's suffrage movement. Specifically Elizabeth Stanton. So. Here it is. And the marking period is over, so luckily it won't hurt my grade. Of the first marking period. Which I would have gotten principal's honor roll if it wasn't for horrible spanish!!! But I hate spanish and spanish hates me, so it's understandable. Not spanish, no way, but that I [practically] failed it. Yeah. So...I won't trouble you any more with my blabberings...
