Barten!

adopt your own virtual pet!

I am a very forgetful person.

I'm sorry it's been so long I just have had a lot going on. Ok first my teacher set up a cool project where our class learned about the body and got to simulate actually becoming a doctor...sort of. Next I got to go to a place where everyone simulated work life and interviewed for jobs. All of it took a lot of preparation. I mean a lot. Third we ("We" as in the kids in my grade level which to some of you who may be reading this is confidential. Which is why I'm being a little vague.) all went bowling too. Oh, and there is a fourth. My G'ma recently emailed me and asked me a question. What is this question you may ask? My grandmother wanted to know if I'd ever like to go to Mexico. Kind of an out of the blue question right? Apparently she wants to take myself and my family to an amazing place where they have...four or five pools with swim up bars where you can get something to drink and sit down on a slightly submerged seat, four restaurants where you can walk in and eat any time if you have a reservation with the place she wants me to go to, movies anytime (in the room I think though) and other great stuff. I now really really want to go! Well that's all for now.

I'm not being very up to date...

I should be keeping up to date better on my blog...it's just that what with school and so on I'm booked. Right now big things are that I'm in Chicago for the weekend because my cousin is getting married. Which means much cheek pinching and hugs from aunts and uncles. It's been fun...so... That's about it....I know not much but my life has been pretty simple.

Long Time No See

I'm soooo sorry I have posted for soooo long!!!!! I haven't really had much to say but I'll start to list some stuff... Let's seeeeeee.... Well as everyone should know the COLTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! I was rooting for the Colts and I'm so happy they won!! uuuum...my mom and I made a Colts cake and..hmmm... when I finish this post I'll have some of it. Let's see what else? I really haven't done anything for a while...I mean nothing really big...Well that's all for now.

IT IS FINALLY SNOWING!!!!!

YAY!!!! Where I live it has only snowed once this year and that was only a light dusting. Now it has finally started snowing!!! We have 1-3 inches and it has stopped snowing but many people are expecting some more! It is truly beautiful in my backyard right now with the snow covering everything in it's glory! I'm soooo glad it has finally snowed because I just don't know what I would do without it!!! I found it had snowed when my parents yelled up to see if I wanted to watch my dog playing in the snow, and of course I did...though I didn't quite believe that there really was snow! I knew it was supposed to snow but it wasn't supposed until a few more hours... I looked out my bedroom window and there it all was! ... Well, I'm off to put on some snow gear and maybe even make a snow fort!

Cookies!!!!

My neighbor and I are in Girl Scouts (though we are in different troops). Cookie selling season has started and we went door to door selling together. It was raining yesterday and we hadn't worn coats so we got pretty cold eventually. We went from door to door to door to door and at about 3:20 (we started around 11:oo) we decided to go home and get our bikes. So we go back get our bikes out but on some warmer clothes and put together a pack of things including our order forms, a snack, scarves, pencils, and so on. Well, we headed out, biked around, and decided to get as far out as possible and then sell on our way back....we got pretty far away from our houses. We barely knew where we were! Sooo we decided hey! we'll go back and visit one of my neighbor's friends on our way back. We didn't sell any cookies on the way back home. Eventually we got to her friend's house and when I got around to getting out my order I couldn't find it!!! I was sooo scared that it would be lost or run over in the road or something. Now you are probably thinking why not get a new form and write the orders down again? Well, number one I couldn't remember what everyone had bought and number two I felt even worse because the form had both my sales on it, but also had hers! I was sooo scared!!!! We went ahead up to her friend's house and they took their order on my neighbor's form. After their order was done we retraced our steps all the way. (which took foreeever!) We got to the last place we had been and saw a paper so as we rode our bikes up to it we screamed for joy as it was the form!!!!! I was so very happy and overjoyed to see it! We picked it up and sped home... I was soaked and so was she for it had rained plus there were tons of huge deep puddles that we had to ride through! I was tired, but glad to be home and to have the order form. What an ordeal that was! That was yesterday and I'm sorry I didn't tell you then but I needed to have dinner and get to sleep (we got home at about 4:30) Today nothing much has happened although my brother, Spencer, and I filled water bottles with baking soda and vinegar and put lids on their caps, waited a while, and went outside to take of the caps which shot across the yard. One went straight across the yard! It was fun and we did it about 2 hours ago at about 9:00 pm. Ah it's been a interesting weekend!

Hohum School!!!

Humph the winter holidays are over and so is my winter break. Which for me means it's back to school! I've really enjoyed tese past weeks off! I don'twant to ruin all the brain melting lazyness...but it must be done. I have no say in it anyway! Hopefully my teacher has cooked up some fun project or another to get everyone back on track. It would be hard without something fun and interesting to do. Boo hooo!!! Oh well at least I get to see all my friends again and soon it'll be Valentines Day which means....CAAAANDY!!!! yuuuummm tiny candy hearts jolly ranchers cupcakes tootsie rolls chocolate bars...yay* I'm getting beside myself...I wonder if we'll have a class Valentine Day party thing.... hope so it's something to look forward to at least... that and I believe it's only a 4 day week next week. Anyway happy end of the winter holidays!
