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:
Victoria says: u,ugtwrrcttgtfrftrgghggt rtgfhdtxby
Dominic says: I am awesome

Star Treck Smores

Sorry I haven't been here in a while, between the excitement and my sugar buzz, I haven't had much time to blog. Halloween was awesome. Rachel and I hit a bunch of houses. Rachel and her sister were Mario and Luigi, really cute costumes. They had little mustaches and everything.

Right now I'm watching Star Treck with my mom, Claire, Savannah, claire's mom, claire's dad, my dad, and my sister's friend Meredith. We just made a fire and made smores outside with Erica and her family, but they left. My dad also made a fire in our fireplace, so we're all toasty!!!! Everyone keeps commenting that the star of the movie keeps getting beat up, and that he's a really bad fighter. He's gotten beat up at least three times already!

Pumpkin Carving

Tonight, we carve pumpkins! We got ours at Walmart, two big, and two a little smaller. Mine is a little lumpy and has a very green stem. Alison's stem is moldy, but still awesome, and is the other big one. We are carving in the living room, on the coffee table. Titanic is playing on TBS, so we've put it on our big screen, with the surround sound. First, we get the 'guts' out, then we draw, then carve. The orange guts are really gross and gunky and slippery. When I was about half way done, my mom brought out some of the pumpkin seeds for us to munch on. They're YUMMY!

That's my pumpkin. It took me a little bit, but I'm satisfied. I've decided to call him Spiky (because of his teeth)

This one's my dad's. He does this every year, kind of like a family tradition.

My Halloween Costume

I have finally figured out what I'm going to be for Halloween. I'm gonna be a spy. I'm gonna put my hair in low pony tails, and put on a black cap. I'm gonna put on a black t-shirt too, and black pants. And my sneakers are already black. I have some old spy stuff that fits onto a belt that I'm gonna wear. It's pretty awesome.

An Unusually Halarious Keyboarding Class

Four days until Halloween, and I still have no idea what I'm going to be. I was thinking like a baseball player or something. (I feel like all I talk about is Halloween. But what can I say? I'm obsessed!!!) but the only costume I can find for girl baseball players are pink. Ugh! That's frustrating.

Anyway, today we had a walk day, where you have to walk at least eight laps to get an A. Rachel and I mostly jogged and caught up with our friend Nick every once in a while.

During keyboarding, my teacher, Mrs. Mickel had to teach two classes at one time, because there's no substitute for keyboarding. So she would be walking into one classroom saying "Quiet down!" and wold start lecturing us about talking, then Rachel's class (the other class she was teaching) started talking, so she would go over there. Then, right when she left, our class would start talking again. So Mrs. Mickel was giving lectures here and there pretty much the whole 4th period. Talk about hilarious.

A pretty fun day, except for the fact that it was unusually hot in the health trailer.

Halloween and Braces, Not Exactly Like PB&J, But What Can You Do?

Today was October 26, 5 days until Halloween. You known what I found out today? One of my friends doesn't dress up for Halloween. It's like breaking the law!!! He says he just goes to a party at a friend's house instead. Mac's in my keyboarding and P.E. classes, both of my electives. Anyway, my best friend, Rachel, was supposed to be a squid, but decided not to. The bad thing about this is that she won't tell me what she's going to be. Oh well, I like surprises.

In other news, my sister got her braces off, and her teeth look really good. She said a guy in her school, who she calls New York Guy (because of his New York accent), said they were the straightest teeth he'd seen.

I'm really jealous because she's eating her oreo caramel apple right in front of me on the couch. Well, she's going to feel the exact same way when I'm eating mine. (I don't have braces yet though, but it will be a couple of years)

P.S.
Glee tonight!!! Yay!!!

Sam~Halloween Expert

Okay, so I've never blogged before, so I don't really know how it goes, but I guess I'll start with a name. I'm Sam, Samantha, really, but everyone calls me Sam *hints the title* I'm a soccer player, although all my friends say I look like a softball player (no idea where they got that). Another thing you should know a bout me, is that I'm obsessed with Halloween. Even when it's not October, I'm jumping out of closets and popping out behind bushes. One year at a Halloween party, I scared a whole room of people with my story about the girl with the scarf, whose head falls off if you untie it. When I told them all the end, they all screamed bloody murder.


Yeah... good times ;)
