Lala!!

Hey! Ok, so today I got to go to Chili's. It was lots of fun, went with Mom and Dad and Leah. I miss Steve and Maggie though, and I'm bummed out that they aren't going to get to teach on Sunday. O'well, they could use a break! :) Anyways, I better go.

Ah! A refreshing change of tunes. I got to open my Christmas cd's today. Jaci Velasquez, Christmas, and Jump 5, All the Joy in the World. Both are very good. If you are into the chipper, happy, teenie-bop kind of music, Jump 5 is great. If you are into the more classical, slow sounds, Jaci Velasquez would be a good addition to your cd collection. Anyways, tomorrow Leah and I will probably decorate for Christmas. It'll be fun. Pray for Maggie and Leah, they're both sick. And pray that Steve and my family and I don't get sick from them! Lol!

Well, folks, Christmas is approaching at a merciless speed, and the question on everyone's mind, or rather questions, have to deal with the perfect gift for each person on their mental Christmas list. I'm hoping it's too soon for anyone to have actually written out names for their lists. I also hope no one actually does that. It's amazing how some people buy gifts in such advance as October, but as I'm entering the world of those with a bit of spare cash, I'm realizing their logic behind these actions. If you use the money you have for gifts in October, you won't find yourself so broke after Christmas. Just as well, you may start considering what the "perfect gift" for that person is before you have to scramble your brain. Since I know some of my family members are reading this, I will not mention if I have shopped any at all for Christmas presents or not, but if Leah starts now, she may receive exactly what she wants by Christmas. For her birthday, she started begging for the Stacie Orrico CD well before the middle of August, and I caved in and bought it for her, among other gifts. The way it works? You beg for one thing well in advance of Christmas, and end up receiving at least two gifts. These are Christmas tips for the shopper as well as the buyer, so I expect you all to have your pens and pencils busily wearing away on a piece of note pad paper. Anyway, those are all the tips for Christmas frenzy I have at least until Thanksgiving is over. Hope you enjoyed!

Ok, so I got these stickers for my car, bare foot prints! I need your guys' advice though. I have four foot prints. I need to know should I put just one in the center back of my window, or put all four as though they are walking across my window? Left, right, left right, or just one? Leave me a comment and vote! :) I'd make another poll, but those take to long to make, and I don't feel like it right now.

Hey! Wow, I haven't written on my blog in a really long time. I feel a tad less guilty, however, the cause being the fact that no one else is writing on their own anymore either. I find that rather funny. These websites, you always get disappointed when someone stops working on their own website, but it is a rather hard thing to keep up with, I have found. It requires a lot of time, not to mention imagination. I suppose the reason I don't like to write every day is because not a crowd of interesting events come knocking at my boring door. O'well. Not much to do about that. I went to Bible study tonight, however, and made thankfulness turkeys tonight. We used paper plates and construction paper, but I ran out of time (I know that makes it sound like I had a lot to be thankful for [19 things on my list] but it was really just that I decided to take my time when I didn't have enough of it) so I had to put 5 feathers, about 4 things on each. My "turkey" has ears, eyes, and a smile. Oh, it also has eyebrows. Don't ask how they got there. I couldn't tell you. Just kidding. Anyhow, I suppose that is enough for tonight, but I'll leave you with some of the things I was thankful for on my list:
Family
Sarah *she decided to put herself on my list
Youth Pastors
Friends
My car
Butchie
Leah
Steve
Maggie
House
Bed
Clothes
Parents
Room
Education
God
Freedom of religion

Good, eh? I thought so....



:)

Well, I am going to go play the dance game (the one that kills Steve and Mike) with Leah. I just thought I should say hey, leave me some notes!! :)

Ok, so now the big question on everyone's mind: Now that Six Flags is over with, will Mike continue writing on his blog? Vote!

In response to my dear sister Leah's prior comment reading, "Do you realize you said 'ya all'? A little less sugar next time, hon." I would like to give a proper response. Leah, you're the one who let me have ice cream last night!! You could have stopped me!! :P I love ya though, even though you smell. ;)

Ok, so today I woke up and did school for what seemed like at least one eternity! Then I showered, did yet more school, ate lunch, did more school, set up the doll playpen and put blankets and pillows in it and put it right by the fire for Butchie, lol!! Then I cleaned my bathroom and my bedroom, changed my sheets, vacuumed, all that "fun" stuff. Anyways, Mom left with Grandma to go do stuff about Grandpa. I don't know exactly what they were doing though. Leah is at work, and Dad is in the shop, and I just got a chance to enter, so yay!! Sorry I didn't enter yesterday, I didn't have time. I was doing stuff all day. Dad and I drove out to Barstow almost, and I had way better luck than the previous two times I've written about my car, lol!! Anyways, I better go now, so I'll write to you all more later.

Alllllright. Today I changed my oil! Oooh, boy, what an experience that was!! Ok, so I'm doing fine and everything, and then I go to take the filter wrench to pull the filter out, and guess what I hit!! The alternator, it's like, 6 inches away from the filter, so I don't know what was goin on there, but it was bad. And then it ended up sparking it was like, 3 inches from my face, and so I like, dropped the wrench, and tried to get out from underneath my car real quick, hurt my shoulder, and then I had ended up blowing the main fuse, so we had to take it to the shop, and Jim pulled out the prongs, because the prongs from the fuse got stuck, and we had to get it replaced. So what did I learn today? Where the alternator is, and that if you hit it with a wrench, wear goggles! Anyways, after that, we went to Kohl's and Dad bought me this really nice sweater!! It's so pretty!! And then we went to dinner with Steve and Maggie. It was expensive, but it was really nice, and lots of fun. Anyways, I better go now before I run out of things to talk to ya all about. Oops!! Too late!! Lol! Anyways, that's all.
