Christmas 2009

What kind of teenager would I be if I didn't post every thing I got for Christmas?! Here it goes......
1. $100 for after Christmas sales
2. Scarf/gloves/hat. They're really cute and red
3. My own copy of Music and Lyrics! YAY!
4. Pink shower radio. So excited for that haha.
5. Hollister body spray with corresponding lotion and body wash. Smells so good, cranberries and vanilla!
6. Odd school supplies like notebooks, locker magnets, and a journal.
7. A build a bear thing haha. Its a sparkly light brown and its so cute! (Kati Bear is my nickname)
8. A sewing calendar with a new pattern for every three days of the year.
9. LOTS of junk food. Sorry Celeste, apparently I'm going to be a fat unhealthy adult (:
10. I'm forgetting something important!............

1. And for our family gift we got an Xbox 360 with lots of games. Only all of the games are too hard! Darn it..


Christmas was great. It started out with none of the kids wanting to get up (in hopes of staying up LATE that night) while my dad jumps up and down wanting us to go. Ande thought it was so magical, she was so excited for the tiniest thing and didnt know what hit her with each new present. She was a spoiled little girl.
Our Christmas tradition is as long as we dont fight or take a nap we can stay up as late as we want. I had to beat last year's record so I stayed up until 6! My first all-nighter. Next year I may not get to go to bed, that's going to be hard!

I wish I had an insanely cute picture of me opening my gifts/with my gifts, but no such picture exists.....sigh....I hate pictures of me in the morning.

Today

Can I just say today is unbelievably the best? Today I'm just happy. I want to climb the Red Mountain and shout it to the world!
TODAY IS A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL DAY!
It must have been me listening to 80's music and christain rock all day. Plus eating Del-Taco red sauce bean burritos and playing carpet. (Don't ask me to explain, I don't think I could, you just play it with cards). AND, I didn't epically fail my scripture mastery test. Some of the best in the class got 5-10/100. I got a 93 (: (: (: (: (I don't like putting smiley faces on here, but I'm happy, so why not).
I don't even care that I have maybe 9 readers of this blog, because today is beautiful.
I got to see the SUN!
It was WARM! 50 degrees, eat that potato lovers.
I got to talk to some amazing people.
I met the most amazingly poliet guy EVER, seriously, you'd all love him. No worries, I'm not 16.
I cleared up my future, I can see it now.
I don't have a care in the world, just shrugged it off my shoulders.
Christmas break, here I come!!!!!!!
I'm being a dork and I dont even care.

Christmas is coming, hope you all are wonderful and have an amazing holiday season.

Have you missed me?

I haven't been on the computer, except for an occasional homework session here and there, I've been busy and working!
On Friday morning I woke up and ALL the leaves fell, overnight. Pretty amazing. So on Saturday I raked up 6 bags worth of leaves, it took me three hours (I hate bagging them) and there is still three big piles to rake up. Fun, but very time consuming.
This week I have 3 essays due, 1,000 reading pages (done), and a review for a book, more on that later when I have time. Let's just say DO NOT READ IT! Plus, I have a 3-5 page report rough draft due, so I'll be busy. Oh, and a 4 minute Spanish skit to do on Thursday. I'm a tequilla drinking taxi driver who always hits happy hour, you can see me doing that right?
On Thursday I went to Dicken's Festival and got a pretty bow and headband, for $5. The singing was alright, but the trip was a blast. I listened to my iPod and sang on the bus, I didn't care who was listening. Plus I got to carry around my new cute purse! Plus a really great scone for $4, with honey butter, it was very tasty.
Wednesday I read the entire driver's manual in hopes that I could get my permit on Thursday, but no such luck. I also did a fun service project for mutual, but I can't go into detail about that.
On that note I need your help. I'm in charge of the combined activity in January. I want it to be really spiritual and introduce the theme really well. Any fun ideas?

I'll post as soon as I get a second! Don't lose faith!
