It's Valentine's Day!--in Four Days

Valentine's Day is here! Well, almost here; in four days. My middle school is doing this thing where you can buy a lollipop and strap a note around it, and they'll put it in the person's homeroom on Valentines Day (Monday). Today, during health, we had a few more minutes left in the period until we got to go home, so Coach Close started telling us the basics on what we're doing on Monday when we switch back to P.E. TENNIS! He started telling us the basics of the scoring, the way it's Love, then 15, then 30, then 40, and the Deuce and Adv.s. So my friend Gabbi raised her hand, and started explaining how if someone were to get a Love on Monday, it would be similar to "Val-en-tine's Day"!!! "It would we sooo cool if someone were to get a lu-uv on Val-en-tine's Day!" it was so hil-ar-ious!

Caramel

      

This is Caramel, my new hamster. I share it with my friend Claire; we bought it for our "Green Team" club. All morning and yesterday afternoon we took pictures of her making tunnels in her bedding and refusing to get onto her wheel (we don't think she likes it very much). We think Caramel likes her new home, we just have to keep her away from Bruno- Claire's HUGE dog, who wont eat it, but will be scared of its 8 ounce size.

Considering... Processing... um, No.

Today we are painting the living room... well, not the whole living room, but the wall where the TV is. It's a brown/gold/tan color, that matches the carpet and cabinets. To do this, my dad had to unplug the TV and all our game systems, our cable, our internet access for our xbox live and Wii connect, and the surround sound. (Good luck putting that all back dad!) Anyway, with my Wii disabled and it being 30 degrees outside, I had nothing to do. "I'm bored." I say "Well, I could give you some cleaning to do..." my mom says. Note to self: try to cut back on exclaiming everything. I'm so bored, I'm acctually CONSIDERING my mom's suggestion.

A Cool Beans Christmas

This year, I could really tell I was nice. When Alison and I got downstairs, we saw three huge stacks of presents wrapped in colorful paper. I received an iPad case that has an attached rubber keyboard, and it also props it up, so its just like a laptop. In my stocking, I also got the BEST earphones in the world. I can't hear ANYTHING when I have them on. I also got a lot of clothes and jewelry, calendars; stuff like that. Alison hit the jackpot getting an iTouch, and so did Rachel! Alison also got about 20 books, which is little for her. I got three, one on extreme cake decorating, one about a girl whose mom died in the Twin Towers, and the last, my favorite and am most excited to read, about a guy who finds this notebook in a bookstore, that a girl wrote to find her perfect man. VERY COOLIO (or as Rachel would say; 'Cool Beans')
My Aunt's boyfriend, Nick, brought his Lab Mix with him, and he is very cute. He's not a puppy, but definitely not as big as Buck. He also loves giving hugs in the morning.

The Best Present Yet (Although it is the First)

Look at the awesome gift Rachel gave me! It's an Evening Air Yankee Candle. It smells soooooooooooooo good!

Has anyone ever seen that movie: Date Night? It's is so ha-lar-ious! I watched it last night with buck's head in my lap. Sometimes,he doesn't want you to be near him, but some days, like last night, he's practically a lap dog.

SNOW DAY!!!

Today, I am at home, not at school. Why? Because it's SNOWING!!! I have to admit, it's only a little, but hey, snow is snow! This morning I continued reading in the third book in the Pretty Little Liars books. Over the past few days, I've finished the first two, and am now in the third, surprising my friend; Jacob at school, who reads about a page a day in his current book, and spells her as 'hur'.
Well, anyway, I threw on a jacket and stepped outside to get the mail, only to hop down our brick front steps and fall right on my butt in the next few steps across the driveway. I thought: "screw it." and went back inside, being very careful not to slip again. I came inside and read some more in the currently boring chapter and, then gave up for now, and started upstairs to listen to my favorite song on my iPad. Airplanes is also my ringtone for my black and blue cellphone, which everyone obsesses over at school when I pull it out right before I head to carpool, meeting my friend from 5th grade; Lindsey, texting on her wide blackberry.

Happiness at Thanksgiving

I'm very veery very very very happy because my cousIns are visiting! Victoria; 4 years old, Dominic; ten years old, and Vincent; eight yearrs. They're visiting for thanksgiving break, four days. Anyways, after Christmas break in December, we'll be HALFWAY DONE with school! It seems like it went by so fast! I'm pretty sure my second semester elective will be dance, and I'm not too excited about it. On Tuesday, we saw their performance, and, let's be honest, it looked like they were really bored. They moved really slow and didn't really look like they were putting in all their effort. I also heard you have to do like 50 crunches and 40 sit ups every day in the class. I'm seeing if I can change it to art or something, because art is Rachel's next elective, and maybe I'll be in her class!

P.S.
Victoria and Dominic wanted to type you guys something:
