(I have yet to figure out how to format the pictures correctly, so please excuse this hideous format.)

Christmas is 4 days away and I am excited! Finally a break! Winter Break is going to be so much fun. Minus the crapload of reading and annotating we have to do...

The choir concert Thursday night was lots of fun :) During one of our songs, I look down, and Matt is petting Ian's hair. Hard to keep my cool after that, but I managed. Juli and I totally lost it during intermission though. :)

School was good Friday-- Last day of school for 2010! No work, ate candy canes, watched movies/youtubes, and colored! Fun stuff. I went to Lina's after school. Decorated the Christmas tree with my mama later that day :) Saturday was boring until Lina's birthday. I absolutely suck at bowling. I'm terrible. Oh well, it's fun. My new favorite game is Curses. It sure is a laugh-out-loud game :) My mom and I spent Sunday with our family friends, Cortney and Karen. I love them :)

In the last 24 hours, I've done gymnastics longer than I've slept. Hey, I don't mind, I'm just exhausted. I seriously need to start annotating TKAM... Skating With The Stars is too interesting to do that right now though. Haha. I'm really really really excited for tomorrow!

Also, I am going to die from obesity thanks to pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. And that brings to mind how I have the song that I want played at my funeral picked out already. It's called If I Die Young by The Band Perry, if you were wondering. Please make sure that is played at my funeral please.

Hello Blog World

Reasons To Smile #1

1. Good grades

2. Folk dancing

3. ACT Days

4. Christmas countdowns

5. New blog

6. Three french hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree

7. Mini cinnamon rolls

Everyone is in happy spirits, 2 more days of school, talk of Christmas shopping, snow, and starting a blog. Today was good.

To begin, I suck at blogging. So don't get your hopes up. In fact, you might just waste [x] minutes of your day reading this. My resolution, along with my friends', is to keep up a blog f

or a whole year. This will be a tough one for me (unlike my on-going "no McDonalds" resolution). I'll be very proud

if I actually stick with it.

Anyways, on to my day. Well, week, since there isn't all that much to talk about from today. Saturday, the day I'd been hoping to be able to sleep in, I was up bright and early for gymnastics. With the YMP Reunion to follow, I was amped. :) I had missed that family so much! Yesterday. Another odd, interesting, and hilarious conversation during PACK Time. Bertie brought folk dancing BACK! I hated it back then, but it's actually really amusing and fun. :) Came home to my doggies running up the street and finding no fence on one side of our yard. Stupid wind. Today: I love ACT Days so much. And how close and handy Lina's house is. And POTO. Anddd Inception, even though I didn't get to finish watching it :( Anywho, I tend to make a lot of Lina/Kyle jokes, but that is no longer the case thanks to Davis and Ha. Ha-Yoon, that was brave. And brilliant!

I hope to keep this up. Correction: I hope to keep this up consistently.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
