Christmas Time is Upon Us!

2010-12-02T18:32:00.006-05:00

Do you not feel it in the air?

The department stores are being bombarded with Christmas shoppers while my mum has already beat the - well - non-existent rush of internet shopping. :')

The Christmas tree has been decorated with ornaments and the anticipation is mounting as the boxes come in the mail.

The self-lessness of the Christmas season is in action as we are coming upon the birth of Jesus.

Yes, that's me in the reflection of the ball. :)

My poor giraffe ornament. He has lost two limbs. :'(

Celebrate the feast of Christmas every day, even every moment in the interior temple of your spirit, remaining like a baby in the bosom of the heavenly Father, where you will be reborn each moment in the Divine Word, Jesus Christ.

~St. Paul of the Cross

First day of December!

2010-12-01T11:37:00.003-05:00

This very much excites me. I can not wait for Christmas. Just the Christmas spirit in general is lovely.

I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.

Went to the dentist today.

2010-11-09T21:38:00.004-05:00

Then after I went to the dentist I proceeded to go to the store and buy chocolate. HAHA!
I think my teeth came out pretty nice~
The hygienist was trying to bribe me into saying I was going to get braces when I don't even really need them. AND IT'S NOT EVEN MY DECISION TO MAKE.
She was saying, "So are you going to get braces?"
And I said, "No."
Then she said, "Why?"
So I said, "Because my mum doesn't want to."
Then she said, "Oh, so you want them, but your mom won't get them for you?"
and I said, "No."
And she said, "But do you want them?"
So I said, "Eh, not really. No."
Then the dentist asked me the same thing. UGH. NO, I DO NOT WANT NOR NEED BRACES.
Anywaaay. LOL! Today has been pretty productive. :')
I did some school. (Not nearly enough though)
Then I did yard work.
Then I went to the dentist.
After that to the store to buy butter and hot cocoa for my mum. (and I bought myself some chocolate. LOL!)

In the waiting room at the dentist's.

What I bought after my dentist appointment. (there is butter and hot cocoa under the Mounds. LOL! ) :3

Took this picture walking back from the store.

Tumblr...

I know it seems like I have been putting off posting to my blog, but I really haven't. If you go to my Tumblr. I have allot of new posts on there everyday. If you like my Blogger blog better, I will still be posting to it, don't worry. You'll just have to wait a little longer.

Baseball and School.

2010-06-08T00:01:00.002-04:00

I just came back from my brothers baseball game an hour ago and when I came home I remembered that I still had algebra, history, science and literature to do! I just finished my algebra and for the rest of the subjects I just have to read. Thank goodness!

Samuel’s game went really well, although he got out twice, his team still won the game. It started out with them winning 5-0 or something around there and then next thing you knew they were loosing 10-5! Once they got up to bat they tied it up then won 11-5. It was probably the best game of Sam’s that I’ve watched yet.

Random Remarks of Tonight.

2010-06-04T01:57:00.001-04:00

UGH!
I’ve been avoiding this algebra like the plague and now it’s 12:00 A.M and I’ve only done one algebra problem… Screwed? I’d say so.

YAY!
I’m almost done my lesson of algebra… Maybe I’m not screwed! I still have to do an algebra test tomorrow though. But I’ll worry about that tomorrow. Right now my only focus is to finish this lesson and go to bed! (Well that, and post to my blogs! Lol!)

TIME FOR BED!
Well I finally finished my algebra and it is now 1:45 A.M. I am soooooo tired I can barely even think anymore. I hope I do well on my test tomorrow… Good night!

Yeah. I know. RANDOM! Lol!

Happy Memorial Day!

2010-05-30T23:38:00.000-04:00

Today was really fun! Today was the Church picnic. I played soccer with Alexandria, Jenina and Anthony. It was Alexx and I against Anthony and Jenina… They crushed us. LOL! But it was fun anyway! After the picnic at church Alexx came over to my house and we went to my neighbors Memorial Day picnic. It was so fun! Michelle, Samantha, Alexx and I swam in the pool, ate, swam in the pool some more, ate, played volley ball, ate, then we went back in the pool until we saw lightening. Then Samantha and Michelle went into Samantha’s house and Alexx and I went to my house. I tried helping her with her Tumblr, but the computer has been acting really weird lately so it kept loosing internet connection. After that Alexx had to go home.

Today has been really fun!… I’m not looking forward to tomorrow… School. =~/

Three of My Siblings Nick-Names.

2010-05-27T16:48:00.007-04:00

My sister Naomi's nick-name which was given to her from my dad is,"T.T Bird" I have no idea where that came from, but my mom told her that she's a Chickadee. So now if you say,"Your a hummingbird." She'll say,"No, I'm a Chickadee!!!" it's so hilarious.

Picture of a Chickadee

Mary's nick name which I gave her is Mare-Bear, but my dad shortened it to Bear. It was so funny cause I called her Mare-Bear when she was just a little baby and as she got older she would growl like a bear! LOL!

Baby black bear... I like black bears better then brown bears because they are less likely to attack humans than brown bears and they eat mostly berries. Although the bear in the picture looks brown, it's a black bear.

Jacob has allot of nicknames but the most used one is Yakisoba, like the Japanese noodles. He is also called J-Bub, Yakub, and most recently, Bug.

Yakisoba. I used to eat these all the time. I haven't had them in forever though!

Sorry about the background of this post. I think it did this because I copied it from my Tumblr... Oh well...

Right Now...

2010-05-26T23:44:00.001-04:00

I'm studying for my science and algebra tests tommorow. I'm also kinda irritated because I didn't know that I had to do a lesson of algebra and a test. My mom said that I could do the lesson either tommorow with the test or on Friday. We'll see how tommorow goes and if I finish early I'll most likely do it tommorow. Algebra isn't really that hard it just takes forever to do. They take a simple question like 2+2-2+2 = 4 and turn it into -(-(2))+|-2|+(-2)+-(-(-(-(2)))) = ? then they say,"Simplify it" so you go (+2)+(+2)+(-2)+(+2) = 4... what's the point of that?!?!?

Today has been a good day of school. I finished at an actually reasonable time and all I have left to do is study. I just finished eating supper which was delicious we had penne with olive oil and mozzarella balls! It was soooo good! Now I'm sitting around thinking about school... Which is what I've been doing allot lately. It's not that it's really difficult. It's just allot.

The Sky... it rained almost the whole time Alexandria and I were there. It was just a drizzle though so it was actually nice.

Rodney Atkins

And the band...

Alexx got a setlist!

Me and Alexandria.

It was really fun, we went on this ride that had no seatbelts. You just leaned against the wall and it spun so fast that it pushed you against the wall and it felt like you weighed 1,000 pounds, but at the same time you felt weightless... It's hard to explain, you'd have to go on it yourself. Then we went on a ride that you sat in these chairs, then the chairs start to lift and spin and go up and down and at the same time the whole thing is also going in circles... Kinda like a planet rotating around the sun. Then we went to the Rodney Atkins concert and we got to stand wherever we wanted, so, of course, we stood near the front! Lol! We had a really good time.

Questions Answered

Who's the most overrated musician?

Lil Wayne! I wouldn't even count him as a musician. He has a tattoo that says,"I am music" but I think it should say,"I am a disgrace to music". He is so vulgar too!

Well I can say,"Hello, how are you?" in four different languages. I can also say allot of random words in a bunch of different languages, but actually being able to speak fluently, only English.

What one thing are you exceptionally good at?

Smiling. Even when I'm not happy. (Which isn't very often.)

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown

I've been told I have nice eyes.

I would want to be the owner of a small company. But a worker at a big one.

yesterday

Would you rather be a famous musician or a famous actor?

I love music! But acting could be fun too... I don't know.

yesterday

Are you a morning or night person?

I like the idea of waking-up early, but I can never seem to do it.
I stay-up late all the time, so I guess that makes me a night person.

yesterday

Sneakers or sandals?

Do flip flops count as sandals?
It depends what the weather is like.

yesterday

If you had your own talk show, who would your first three guests be?

Hmmm... Probably Jack Johnson, (One of my favorite music artists.) The Ghost Adventures crew, (From my favorite show.) and Bobby Flay. (My favorite chef.)

yesterday

If you won a million dollars what would you do with it?

I would put 500,000$ of it in my bank account. Then I'd go buy some ghost hunting equipment (It is not cheap!) and go to film school. After that I would give money to my church. And with the money I put in the bank, I'd go buy a house in England! once I got my ghost hunting show (If I got one.) With the money I got from that I'd go to culinary arts school and start a cooking show. I have a plan, all I need now is the million dollars! Lol!

Just got back from Katie's house... It was really fun! Alexandria, Katie, Joe, Molly, Cordelia, and I hung-out in her back yard then went inside and ate ice cream and the cookie cake I made. Then we watched 1/4 of the movie Leap Year. After that Katies dad came home. Then we went home. All in all, it was a really fun night.

Yesterday... First day of school.

2010-05-18T19:10:00.000-04:00

Yesterday... First day of school.
Yesterday was my first day of high school… Didn’t go the way I hoped it would.
I woke-up yesterday morning and I felt like crud. My nose was running like water from a faucet, I couldn’t stop sneezing, my chest was congested, and I had a bad cough. If it wasn’t the first day of school I probably would have told my mom I didn’t think that I could do school. But since it was, I did. Well the first thing that was super irritating was that I kept having to leave to get more and more tissues for my nose. After I finally finished Religion, Grammar and spelling, I did my algebra, which took FOR-EV-ER! Then I had to read for World History and Physical Science. I liked reading the World History book, but my siblings started to get a little loud once I started reading the Physical Science book because they had finished they’re school.
I had started my school day at 8:00a.m and I ended it at 5:00p.m. I’m didn't even finished untill 11:30pm because I still had to read my book for literature.

And that time, I read in my room.

Leap Year...

2010-05-15T23:28:00.001-04:00

I just watched the movie Leap Year, It was so good! The Irish accents were so cool. The scenery was excellent, and the music was amazing too. Above all, It was hilarious! Definitely a movie that I would watch again in the future!

2010-05-15T00:33:00.001-04:00

Today was pretty good… It’s cleaning day which means we have to clean our bedroom and our assigned rooms exceptionally well. After I finished doing my chores, I babysat my niece Zoe and we went on a walk to see her mom. (My sister Shayna) After Shayna came home, I hung-out with my friends Michelle and Samantha. First Samantha had to go inside, then once Michelle had to go in her house, I went inside mine. When I walked in I heard that one of my youth group leaders had her baby! (Congratulations Mrs. Jiza!) Then my mom went to her blog to find that it was all jacked-up! All the links that were suppost to be on the side went to the bottom! And the strangest thing was that when she went to go fix it, it looked like nothing was wrong on the layout page. So we thought that someone had hacked it, and messed with the HTML. We tried fixing it for atleast an hour. Then we looked it up on Google to see if anyone else has had this problem. And luckily someone had! Lol! It turned out that no one had hacked it and that it was a picture that she had posted from Flickr that was screwing everything up. So when we deleted that picture everything went back to normal. Isn’t that weird!

I HIDE: My underarm deoderant from my brother! Lol!

I LOVE: God, My family and friends.

Kefir is very similar to plain yogurt, but it has much more health benefits.

No, Kefir does not have the same flavor as yogurt. It is a little more sour then plain yogurt, and has a yeasty taste.

Thanks for leaving a comment. =)

My little sisters are at Olive Garden with my dad because the,"Daddy Daughter Dance" was cancelled. My baby brother Jacob is in his bouncer jumping non-stop. My niece is running after my mom yelling,"Grrraaaaaannnnndmmmmmaaa!". My brother Sam is hanging-out with his friends. My brother Zach is hanging out with his friends. (And I think his girlfriend.) My sister Shayna was on facebook and I think she just went upstairs and I am sitting on the porch with Zoe (My niece) and my mom. At the moment the house is quiet. I wonder how long that'll last. XD

Our cat is back! I'm so happy. She came back all by herself. We just looked in the backyard and she was on the backporch. She looked like a stray cat! She Is probably my favorite pet. She keeps to herself and she isn't very hard to take care of.

Our cat ran away!

2010-05-11T21:33:00.001-04:00

My cat ran away! My friend just came to my house and said,"I think your cat is in my backyard." and so we went into her backyard and her mom was there and she asked me,"Is that your cat?" and it was! So I went to go get my mom because I am to scared to pick-up my cat because she would most likely scratch me. And when I came back with my mom our cat had run away! We looked all-over with no luck... So now all my family has is a pet hamster because our dog had to get put-down due to old age and mouth cancer. And now the cat has run away.

School...

2010-05-11T18:05:00.001-04:00

Shcool is starting on Monday of next week, which means headaches, tears, less blog posts, less iPod, lots of question asking and CHAOS! The good things that are going to come out of this new curriculum are that I will be smarter and know more about my Catholic faith. I think all the headaches and tears will be worth it in the long run. Who knows maybe there'll be no tears at all. But I'm sure there are going to be headaches!

Tumblr...

I just got a Tumblr yesterday because my friend Jenina said I really needed to get one and that they are so fun. So I got one, and it is so confusing! I tried posting an audio post and it brought me to my documents!?!? Then I tried to get a new layout and I think that you have to pay for one. But I'm not sure... I know how to post pictures and text, but everything else is confusing. They say on the website,"Tumblr. The easiest way to blog." oh. Ok...

Mothers Day!

2010-05-09T01:03:00.001-04:00

Happy Mothers Day! I got my mom a Rosemary plant for her herb and vegetable garden. Samuel and I also painted a Coca-Cola sign for her, it turned out really good.
Well first it started with me messing around with the leftover wood from when we got our floors done. Samuel was trying to make my mom a ring and his friend was trying to help him. Then my dad came home and told him that it was going to be almost impossible to get a rock to stick to hanger wire so then he said he was going to make something out of wood. He decided he was going to make a Coca-Cola logo sign because that is my moms favorite soda. So we started making it and as we were halfway through Samuel had to go to baseball, so he left and I finished the outline. from there my friend Jenina and I did the rest. Jenina did the letters and I did the second coat of red paint. After that we hung-out and went to water her garden. Then we went back to my house and did some more touch-up work on the letters... And some more touch-up work... And some more... And some more. Until it was about 9:00pm, and she had to go home. From 9:00pm to 11:30pm I did more touch-ups on the letters. After Eight hands (Jenina's, Michelle's, Sam's, and mine.) doing nine hours of work. It is finally perfect! I have pictures that I will post probably tommorow. My mom is so excited! She has no idea what it is, But she knows that we were making her something.

Well I have to go to go to bed because I have to wake-up early for church tommorow.

Movie Night

2010-04-30T21:44:00.001-04:00

Tonight is movie night and I'm watching Mary Poppins with my siblings. I haven't watched this movie in forever. I love there accents!!! These songs are going to be stuck in my head for the next month! Haha Quotes Of The Day

Mr. Banks: Just a moment, Mary Poppins. What is the meaning of this outrage?

Mary Poppins: I beg your pardon?

Mr. Banks: Will you be good enough to explain all this?

Mary Poppins: First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear.

Mr. Banks: Yes?

Mary Poppins: I never explain anything.

[exits]

Mary Poppins: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Mr. Banks: I suggest you have this piano repaired. When I sit down to an instrument, I like to have it in tune.

Mrs. Banks: But, George, you don't play.

Mr. Banks: Madam, that is entirely beside the point!

Mary Poppins: Close your mouth, please, Michael. We are not a codfish. Mary Poppins: "Well, don't stand there staring. Best foot forward. Spit spot!" "Spit spot! And off we go." "Come along, children. Spit spot!" "Hurry up, please. Spit spot!"

Week of Losses

2010-04-29T13:23:00.001-04:00

I had lost my wall charger and when I finally found it. (Well actually my mom found it.) I plugged it into the wall to charge my iPod, and it wasn't working. I tried over and over and each time. Failure. So after getting all worked up over it I just threw it in the garbage and forgot about it. (The wall charger, not the iPod.) I just lost my headphones yesterday too... If I find them and they don't work I'm just gonna throw them away instead of trying to make them work and getting mad. I lost my iPod microphone while I was walking back from the store (last week) and today I found out that all three of our Charlie and Lola DVD's have gone missing. This week has been interesting.

Formspring or Tumblr?

2010-04-29T13:09:00.001-04:00

I'm thinking about asking to get a Formspring or a Tumblr... Although my parents read my blog sooooo... Hopefully I build up the courage to ask before they read this Haha! Anyway... Which one do you think I should get?
What I really want is a Facebook, but my mom said,"I think were gonna take a break from Facebook." then one day when I said,"What!?!? A nine-year-old has a Facebook before I do!?!?" My mom said,"You can get a Facebook when you're sixteen." So apparently I have to wait two years. Ugh!

Gorilla Glue Blues.

2010-04-26T23:23:00.000-04:00

My parents get this glue called,"Gorilla Glue". It dryes much slower then super glue, but once it dryes it is forever stuck. Well today my mom and I noticed that my sister Grace had already detached the bottom of her flip-flop from the top so I said,"I'll glue them together." so I got out the gorilla-glue and it turned out that the glue had dried in the bottle, but it was only the top that had dried and there was some more usable glue on the bottom. So I decided that I was going to take a butter knife and break the top layery of the dried up glue then just spread it onto the bottom part of the sandle with the butter knife and glue it to the top. Simple right?... Wrong. I tried and tried to break the dried up glue and finnally after 5 minutes of trying it broke a little and then I could break the rest from there. So I was breaking it, and taking a little of the dried glue out. Breaking it, and taking a little more of it out until I could easily get to the still usable glue underneath. By then I had a little glue on my hands but not so much as to worry about it, so I just finshed the job and went to wash the butter knife. As I was washing it more and more glue was getting on my hands, so I finnaly finished washing it and I started to wash my hands. As I was washing them it seemed as though the glue was just spreading all over my hand, not coming off. So I decided to stop and boil some water in the kettle to put into the sink to melt it off... Bad idea. Well first of all the water was so hot that I couldn't even put my hands in it and second of all the glue seemed to be drying, not melting! So by then I started to get frustrated and I decided to just peel it of well, as I was peeling off glue from the back of my pointer finger it started to hurt, but I thought it was just because the glue was so stuck to me, but then I looked closely and I notice I was peeling off my skin!!!!! It looks so gross! So then I made a homemade bandage (Toilet paper and tape) cause I couldn't find the gauze. I was just leaving it alone until now. I was going to bed, but the glue felt so annoying on my hands! I went downstairs and tried to think of what I could use to get it off. I started to think of what I used to take off super glue. But then I remembered that I used to peel off super glue no problem... So then I started to think of things that were sticky and I thought,"Bubble gum's sticky!" and then I started to think of ways to get bubble gum of your skin... PEANUT BUTTER!... So I tried that and it worked! Well mostly. My hands still have allot of glue on them, but not nearly as much as there was before.

Chore Schedule

2010-04-26T13:56:00.001-04:00

Well my mom has made yet another chore schedule. I have to do allot of new chores, but it's not too bad yet because we don't have school. There is one thing that we have tried before that we're doing again. We are doing this thing called,"Focus Rooms" which means that we will be doing our new set of chores and then after we do that we'll be,"Focusing" on a certain room and cleaning it from top to bottom. We have tried almost every chore program under the sun... And after about 2-3 months they are usually over with, and were on to the next one...

I don't know if that makes sense, but I do know that school is starting in about three weeks and I hope these three weeks go so slow that I start growing grey hairs! Lol! Oh, and I forgot to mention, but this year I'm going to be using Our Lady of Victory's curriculum. Which is apparently really difficult. "Ode to Joy" (sarcasm)... *sigh*...

Another great movie night!

2010-04-24T09:30:00.004-04:00

Yesterday was fun...
I baked brownies and cookies for the movie night (and extras for the family) we were going to have at my friends house.
The movie last night was really cool. It turned out that we were watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose which was super scary. (But there's no amount of scare that I can't handle! Lol!) It was a really good movie though... The actress they chose to play Emily Rose had a strange look about her that I couldn't quite put my finger on. But she was a good actress and if she was actually doing all those things apparently a contortionist!
After the movie my friends and I went on YouTube and listened to the actual recordings that were taken during the exorcism... Freaky!... After listening to the recordings, we looked up information about Anneliese Michel. (the real name of Emily Rose) Then we went to YouTube again and listened to the Drive Through song by Weird Al. (and weird he is!) Then I came home... And now I'm sitting on the rocking chair in my room listening to my sister Grace get in trouble.

Funny, Interesting, and Awesome Quotes!

2010-04-20T23:13:00.003-04:00

I was looking at my friend Alexandria's blog and I noticed that she had put some quotes... I had been thinking about putting a post about quotes so I decided to look up some quotes for myself and I tried to find some that could compare to my life and I only found two! lol.

This is my friend Michelle and me!

The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
~Author Unknown

True, If only it were true for Zach! HAHA! :~b

There is no cure for laziness but a large family helps.
~Herbert Prochnov

Here are some quotes and lyrics that I like but don't compare to my life...

Hope... One of my fave Jack Johnson songs!

Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus
But in confusion
The frames the sun did burn
And in the end of a roll of illusion
A ghost waiting its turn
Now I can see right through
It's a warning that nobody heard

It will teach you to love what you're afraid of
After it takes away all that
You learn to love
But you don't
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

~Jack Johnson

I used to listen to this song all the time!

On the Radio... Regina Spektor
And on the radio
You hear, 'November Rain'
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep

I'm Yours... Jason Mraz

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

~Jason Mraz

This is pretty cool...

Friends are like walls,
Sometime you lean on them,
And sometimes its just enough,
To know they’re there.

I couldn't find who the author of this quote is, but I would just like to say that I did not make this quote and I don't take any credit for it. :~)

I also have some quotes on the side of my blog that have been there for awhile if you haven't noticed them already...

My Review of the Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions...

2010-04-19T00:02:00.004-04:00

I was talking to this my mom's friend Mrs. Mateer at church and we were talking about kefir and I was telling her that that it's good for acne. She told me that tea tree oil is really good for acne as well. So I asked my mom if she knew a place that sold tea tree oil and she said that there was probably tea tree oil in the Burt's Bees stuff for acne. We went to the store after church and my parents went in and we waited in the car... When they came back my mom told me that they had gotten me the Burt's Bees acne stuff! I was so grateful cause I was gonna buy the tea tree oil myself, but my parents got me a whole acne kit! I was so curious to see what it'd be like. So as soon as we got home I looked in the box and the first thing that I noticed that I thought was interesting, is that the moisterizer and the spot treatment came in glass bottles! Which I think is pretty cool. I just washed my face with it and if I had to rate each product individually I'd give the cleanser an eight and a half (8 1/2), the moisterizer a nine (9), and the spot treatment a seven and a half (7 1/2). Overall I give the whole kit an eight and a half (8 1/2).

Cleanser:

Pros: Ninety-nine point four percent natural (99.4% natural), Smells Good, leaves face feeling clean, Only have to use a little (4-5 drops) so it will last a long time!
Cons: Not very strong, doesn't have a cooling sensation when you put it on your face.

Moisterizer:

Pros: One-hundred percent natural (100% natural), Smells Amazing, Easy use, lemon grass and hops leave face feeling refreshed and soft, Cool glass bottle =) and a dispenser so you don't have to squeeze and sometimes accidentally get too much!
Cons: Doesn't reduce oil on face like the Clean & Clear moisterizer. And if it does the box didn't say. =~/
(Leaves face about equally soft... Maybe even a little softer!)

Spot Treatment:

Pros: One-hundred percent natural (100% natural), doesn't sting when you put it over irritated or partially popped zits, has tea tree oil in it and also has a cool glass bottle!
Cons: Because it doesn't sting I'm not sure if it's strong enough, you have to shake the little bottle to get a drop to come out of the drip despenser (or I think that's what it's called =~b) which isn't a big deal! Smells a little funny (kinda like mouthwash).

Overall:

Pros: Very simple to use, faster to use then Clean & Clear, leaves face feeling clean and soft and it is almost completely natural!
Cons: Less salicilic acid then Clean & Clear.

If I had to rate the Clean & Clear kit I'd give it an eight (8). I think that using this natural acne solution will be a good detox for my face!

Long story short I made homemade candy I went to go snap it in half with my hands and apparently hard candy can be sharp! It's a pretty gross cut... Well anyway it had already partially healed but now it is bleeding again! *sigh*

Doughnuts!

2010-04-15T10:13:00.001-04:00

My mom's friend miss Rebekah gave her a doughnut recipe for me to try, and I did! I made the dough for the doughnuts last night and that was quite interesting. I put a damp rag on top of the bowl that contained the dough then I turned the broiler on in the oven to make the inside warm... I wanted to just leave it on for a second, but I put the bowl in the oven and forgot to turn it off! I looked to see if the dough had risen at all and when I opened the oven door the rag was smoking and it smelled so bad! I was thinking,"Oh No! The dough is cooked!" But when I took it out and lifted up the previously damp rag that was now dry and burned, it was fine! Since the rag had been damp it had saved it! Not only was it uncooked it had risen faster because of the heat! Haha! I took it out forty-five minutes too early and punched it down, covered it with plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge. I had forgotten all about it, that is until I went downstairs to get a drink of water. I looked in the fridge to check on it and to my surprise and amazment the dough had risen three times it's size! This is after I had already punched it down once. It had pushed the plastic wrap off the bowl and gone over the sides! Then I punched it down again... This morning when I woke up at 7:30am (When I wanted to wake-up at 6:00am, but my iPod alarm didn't go off!) I looked in the fridge and the dough had risen again for a third time!!!!! I took a picture of it. It's not as crazy of a rise as it was last night, but still. It rose three times! I didn't punch it down this time instead I just flowered-up the table and fliped the risen dough onto it and rolled it out... After I rolled it out I used a cup to make the doughnuts and a vitamin bottle cap to make the doughnut holes haha! (you gotta make due with what you have.) then I let them sit for ten minutes. It was supposed to be thirty, but I had to get breakfast made. Then I fried them, glazed them and put them on a plate. They didn't turn out quite as fluffy and airy as miss Rebekah's cause I added extra flour to the dough, but they tasted good! I took pictures that I will post as soon as I get them on my iPod.

Pics...

Told you! Haha

Mmm I could eat them already!... Maybe not haha!

Now I could! And I did.

My favorite one.

America Runs on Dunkin! Lol! Personally I like Starbucks!

I'm not a very big coffee drinker.
1. Cause I don't want kidney stones.
2. Cause my teeth get stained easily!
3. Cause I get a stomach ache if I drink too much.
But I love the taste! And I had to have coffee with a homemade doughnut! So I poured myself a small cup. =~) But I could drink Starbucks frappuccinos till the cows come home! Haha

Mine turned out kinda dense... But deffinetly not as dense as the ones I made last time!

Naomi and Emma give it a thumbs-up!

Poison ivy and spearmint...

2010-04-13T22:56:00.002-04:00

I was cleaning up the corner of the yard: pulling weeds, raking and such, and I came across a small plant that I was pretty sure was spearmint! I love spearmint... We had planted spearmint two or three years previously. Spearmint is a very invasive plant, but I didn't know if that could be possible!?!? So, yeah, I saw this spearmint and I looked through a crack in the fence at the small area that separates the fenced in yards and I though I saw more spearmint! I climbed up on the fence and sure enough there was more spearmint, but not just a little, Allot! So I told my mom, and she asked me if I could go get some so we could transplant it into our yard and extra for spearmint tea as it wasn't in anyones property, And hey! It is most likely ours anyway! I went to retrieve it and as I walked through I noticed that there were quite a few poison ivy plants around and I tried to avoid them best I could. That is until I was using the shovel trying not to cut the roots of the plant. I was crouching down, standing on my tip-toes while I was digging and I lost my balance. I tried to grab the shorter fence, but it was too late, I had fallen into a patch of poison ivy... I hurried up and finished the job, I went back to my house, placed the plant on the porch, told my mom what had happened, then went to go take a shower using fels neptha! The tea was delicious and I don't have poison ivy... Yet!

2010-04-11T00:38:00.001-04:00

Today was so fun! I got up and babysat (Hey! Still counts as fun haha) helped my mom plant some more plants in the garden. Then our testing results came in *heart beating faster* With a stanine of nine being the best and a stanine of four being the worst I could have done without being held back I got a..... ZZZzzzzZZZ... Sorry, what was I saying haha! Oh yes, I got aaaaa...... Seven! I was so happy! I thought I was going to get a six! After that I hung-out with Samantha and Ariana for a little until Sam's birthday party! His B-Day was really good, he had cheescake! I made him a last minute birthday card on my iPod. (and when I say last minute, I mean LAST MINUTE!) He had just finished eating his cake and he was opening gifts and I remembered that I had forgotten to get him something. :~{ So I made him a,"card" on my iPod Haha! (I have the screen shot below) Then he went to a hockey game with Thomas (his friend), me, Shayna and Zoe, and my dad! It was the last game of the season and the team we were going for, WON!

I meant to say,"it's" not,"I'm" but I'm not changing it now haha!

Tell me if I made any spelling errors or something doesn't read smoothly... Thanks!

Today was so fun! First I got up and cleaned. You can add music to anything and it's fun though right! Then my freind Alexandria came over to my house to hang out and we played with the hamster then played Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit plus! Which is probably one of the funnest work-out games ever! Then we went to our friend Katie's house and met up with Cordelia and Katie (apparently) to watch Sherlock Holmes. Which was a phenomenal movie! I mean they have British accents, what's not to like!?!?!? Now I am home eating milk duds with my brother Sam and texting! It is actually Sam's birthday today! Happy birthday Sam!

I'm up and it is 6:09am... That's not too early, but I've been awake since 4:30am!!! I am sooo tired. But I can't fall back asleep *yawn* *sigh*. Maybe I can go downstairs and make pancakes for my family or something... Actually I don't think I'll do that cause there'll be to many dishes! Never mind I'm gonna try to fall asleep...

Shayna...

Easter!

Dying Eggs... Zoe's first time!

She was drinking the Easter egg dye! I guess she likes vinegar! Don't worry, it was non-toxic, but I mean, I would think all Easter egg dye is cause your putting it on eggs you will be eating!

Hers turned out pretty nice!

Before Easter Sunday mass...

2010-04-06T09:43:00.001-04:00

Me and some of my siblings might be going to the beach with my sister Shayna! I love the beach!!!! I'll probably have pictures and some more about we did at the beach when we get home... I took lots of pics that I'll post tommorow. I didn't go in the water cause it is still too cold, but since I am as pale as the white side of the moon I tried to tan. (Key word being tried HAHA) I only lasted for twenty minutes then I got bored so I stopped... Within that twenty minutes though I did get a small bit of color... Or I like to tell myself that haha. But I know I must have gotten some sun cause my skin feels tight but atleast it isn't burned!!!

Happy Easter! I am getting ready to go to Church... I am so excited to have my iPod back!!! Me and my friends Jenina and Michelle faced Sam and my Dad in a game of soccer... Jenina being a soccer player was the best player and Michelle, well... Let's just say Michelle, Did her best... Actually I don't know if she did but, whatever... We lost 15-7 or somewhere around those numbers. We mostly just played for fun (or I did anyway) and I had allot of fun so no matter if you win or loose what matters is to follow the rules and have fun! And I'm not saying that cause I lost... Even when I do win I don't really make a big deal out of it... Most of the time HAHA!

Day Forty-Six, of Lent! (The Last Day!!!!!)

2010-04-03T20:16:00.001-04:00

The beginning of today was torturous! I was doing yard-work while all my friends were outside... But it wasn't to bad cause I was helping my mom plant our garden. It will be worth it in the long run cause we will get fresh grown veggies if it works! It was so funny my mom said,"I hope the garden grows this year" and my sister Naomi (who is three) said,"Mommy, the garden will grow if you hug it and give it lots of love." HAHA! After I helped plant the garden the day got progressively funner I got to hang-out with my friends and we had cheeseburgers for supper. I haven't had a grilled cheeseburger in forever! It was so good! Easter is tomorrow!
