Photography

I found a new, improved way to make a fascinating light show on your camera! Turn on the lights of your Christmas tree, shake your camera back and forth, press the button to take a photo, and viola! The photo shown at left isn't my best piece of art, I have better ones which I can post later, but it is an example :)

Eggnog??

I really thought there was only one flavor of eggnog... eggnog flavor.

In my local supermarket though, you can buy FOUR DIFFERENT FLAVORS!!!! Can you believe it! I didn't think that was possible. So far I have tried pumpkin eggnog and gingerbread eggnog (seen at right). The other flavor that I can buy is sugar cookie eggnog! Yes, you read it right... SUGAR COOKIE EGGNOG!!!! My favorite is pumpkin, even though gingerbread doesn't taste much different.

Oh well, I think maybe I'll try sugar cookie (!!!) next time. Well if all else fails with these newcomer eggnogs... there is still the original flavor :)

Partay!!

For years and years my mom has only allowed up to two people at my  parties. This year, I devised a plan... I came home with well written diagrams,charts, and persuasive arguments. The argument that really caught my mom's attention was that I would work off any debt I got myself into while throwing this party ( food, party favors, etc.)    So after calls, plans, more writing, invites and a lot more, I had a list of five of my closest friends ( the ones I wanted at my party ) all on a sheet of paper. All the invitations were written, and a list was posted next to the fridge. The list had each of my friends names on it so if I  was away and one of my friends RSVPed, my mom could just check off a name, and then I could check the progress when I got home. Sadly, it was the last day to RSVP and I only had two people saying they could come. My mom went away for the day, and I was at my dad's house, so I pretty much accepted the fact that my party was going to be pretty small. Later on, my mom called me and happily told me the great news, when she had gotten home, there were three messages... all the people had RSVPed!!!! So today is the day of my party, and I plan to have a blast!!

" The Sub-Zero Pooping Hero "

Ok... let me explain. First of all, to clear things up... the Sub-Zero Pooping Hero is NOT me!! LOL

It is a cute little plastic figure of a polar bear. You load jelly beans ( brown jelly beans preferably) into the polar bear, push down on him and PLOP! out come some of the jelly beans, making it look like he pooped. My brother gave this to my dad for Christmas, just as a joke. Now the smiling bear stands proudly atop our kitchen counter. :)

Cooking

Just because one of my hobbies is cooking doesn't mean I am super fantastic at it! Some nights, when I'm inspired to do so, I will ask one of my parents if I can help them cook. So tonight, I wanted tacos for dinner, so tacos is what I got. I helped mix the meat, onions, seasoning and everything else and then I set the table. Those were my assigned duties as my dad's "sous chef." All that 

 "hard" work was finally paid off... the tacos were delicious!

New Shows..???

I really am not the kind of person that thinks outside the box... even with the simplest things like tv shows. But my dad got season one of Heros for Christmas, so we decided we would watch one episode together. It is so awesome! I never thought I would ever fid a new show I like, I usually just stick to the same old same. But Heros was so awesome!!! It is a bit scary in some ways, and a little inapropriate for younger kids, but I personally loved it! 

WEBKINZ!!!

Ok, so let's start from the beginning of the story. There is this site called webkinz.com, where you buy a special kind of stuffed animal, enter in the code online, and you unlock a full world of games, money, animals, pets and a ton more! So, when i was in a Hallmark the other day, I decided I wanted a penguin webkinz, so I bought one, and gave it to my brother instead, just being nice. So today, my brother returned the favor and bought me a polar bear webkinz in exchange for the penguin! I was so happy! So even though I thought my webkinz was officially my brother's, I got one anyway!

Resolutions

YEESH!!! Right when you think you can finally settle down after the holiday rush, there comes New Years, waiting right around the bend! So, with New Years coming up right behind me,i assume it's finally time to make my New Years resolutions.

            1: I promise to practice my acting twice a day so that I can possibly get a spot in the                           school play ( unfortunately I didn't make it last time )

            2: I promise to be more open minded when making decisions

            3: I promise to think outside of the box when getting dressed each and every morning, 

                perhaps make my outfits more spunky and bubbly.

            4: I promise to pick up my room everyday so it WILL NOT GET MESSY ( this may be 

                 hard to keep :( )

Well, hopefully I can keep all of these promises just as easily as it was to type them :)
