Let me just say that I'm sorry my last loop was so short. My computer died so I only got access to the internet sometimes. So here's the start of a brandy new loop! 

Info:

Loop 1: Congrats Emily! You scored enough tallies to get 1 point for winning loop one! Keep up the good work.

Loop 2: Theme: The Internet. Weird theme? I think not! The internet can help you access many pieces of information. If you know where to look. So I'm gonna spark some points of interest so you can have a place to start looking.

Good Luck!

Challenge 1:

Okay peoples! Start your keyboards! My dad started me on podcasts, which are like conversation things about different subjects. Go to www.mypodcast.com and find a podcast I would like, and give me the URL. To start this, you must first read my entire profile, no shortcuts, even if you've read it before. I told you this series would be harder. See what I like, Then go to the website and off you go! 

GOOD LUCK!

Extreme Pumpkins

AWESOME PUMPKINS! LOL

The first one is my favorite!

I have been obsessed with doing this lately and I don't know why. Someone says a word and I make up a funny sentence to remember how to spell it. This ultimately started when laura and I were on VFK and we had a really big sugar rush. We were at the time obsessed with the word chalupa but VFK wouldn't allow the word. So we wrote "read caps" (capital letters) and wrote Check Happy And Laugh Under Piano Affects, thus spelling our word. So I will give you some examples and then you have to solve the ones that do with halloween. Good Luck!

p.s. the sentence doesn't have to do with the word, but if you make it so it does, i will give extra points! When you read, you will notice the first two poems I did had nothing to do with the word, but the last one does. Just to give you some examples.

Penguin Slap

My Not-the-best-idea kind of moment

So when dad picked me and Nick up today, he offered for us to go for "a nice little walk in the woods". I obliged, thinking it couldn't hurt. Well, after we finished doing the geocache, (if you don't know what that is, go to geocaching.com) we had to cross a stream (of course, it was a tad deeper and wider than I would constitute as a stream, it was more like a mini river.). None of us liked the other's ideas about how to cross it, so we all tried our own. Nick shuffled across a fallen down log, which I decided against due to the fact that my clutz-y ness would probably have me soaked from head to toe in a matter of seconds. Dad hopped across a small line of slippery rocks, which again, I would be underwater in two blinks of an eye. My way still got me wet, but at least that was because of my control. I rolled up my jeans, removed my shoes, and grabbed a stray stick for balance. Then I slowly stepped into the ice cold river. Carefully grasping me stick and my shoes, I waded deeper and deeper into the area I thought was the shallowest. Wow, I thought, good thing it's not winter! Man, I tell you, I thought my feet were gonna fall off by the time I dropped my stick, paused for a photo, and scurried up the bank! P.S. click the photo to get a better look at it!

Summary:

It's 2018, and for the past 6 years, the government has been seriously discussing living in space. They have finally decided it is time to scope out some guinea pigs. 10 people are chosen from every state in America, going through a series of physical and mental potential tests to determine if they will be able to hold out in the conditions of space. They are each given a token for a house, a car, and certain amount of Oaks, the currency of Oaklyn city. They have developed a completely self-contained society inside a space enabled structure. They will float around Neptune, where the government has decided will be the best place. Everything is ready to go. Now all they need is to go. The story is told by thirteen year old Saige, who unhappy with her orphan life, runs off to the recruiting center for the space project, hoping to find someone who will adopt her and take her up into space where her sad life can't find her again. Lucky for her, Aerika Beldyn wants a daughter. They go up to live in space, both happy when their new start, but bad things start to happen, and there is nothing to stop them...

The Return of the Mini Series!!!

Okay, don't get your hopes up too high. Although many readers were mad about me stopping "Another's Eyes", my mini series, there really was nothing I could do about it. My stupid computer still doesn't let me post stuff about my mini series. I don't really get it, either. I can post just about anything else in the world I want except chapters of "Another's Eyes". So I am starting a new mini series, a story that I have not already written! "Another's Eyes" was a story that was already written and stuffed away in a drawer in my room. My new series is one that I will be writing as I go. There will be a new installment every weekend on Sunday except the occasional time that I'm camping or something, I will post the installment early.

There is an extra twist to this mini series though, you (my readers) are an active part of the story! Every Saturday I will start a new poll in the top section of the column on the right hand side of the page. You must vote to determine what will happen on the next installment the next day. If no one votes, I will decide. Have fun reading my new series, which will be called In Neptune's Shadow. Today will be the first installment.

BONUS CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!

Here it is folks! THE VERY FIRST BONUS CHALLENGE!!!!

Okay, so because my dad bought tickets from ticketmaster, we got two free itunes downloads. NIck got one and I got the other. Since I am completely stumped on what to get, I thought I'd bring my dilemma to my readers! So,  this is convenient for everyone, because I get a song, and you guys get credit towards your fall challenge series prize (which i'll talk more about later)!!!

So, give me three songs you think i'd like, based on my personality, and I'll tell you who wins! Now this challenge works differently because it's not, the first to do the challenge wins kind of thing. I'm giving you a couple of hours so that all people who want to do it can do it (Brittany, you can also do it, but you have to email me with your results. I'm giving you guys until 8:00 tonight to get all your answers in. I would love to give you a couple of days, but

A: I can't often go on the computer during the week

B: the free song offer expires really soon

so there ya have it, the very first bonus challenge!

P.s. Brittany, please email me on the email account that runs this blog. just go to my profile or wherever you find it (i'm not positive about where it is) and click "email this user".

L1;2

I'm baaaaaaacccckkkk!!! But only for the weekend, so solve this challenge ASAP! As promised I said I'd be here for the weekends. I am going to try to be on during the weeks, but I still can't guarantee. I'm hoping to bargain something like a computer as the family christmas present, so hopefully I'll be back on in no time!

Here's your challenge readers! Many years ago when I was just a little girl my mother and I would dress up in costumes that went t

ogether. (example: I was an angel and she wa

s the devil) so I will show you a picture and you say what you would go as if you went with them! It has to go with the person's costume, so if they're dressed as a chicken, you shouldn't say you would go as a bottle of pickles, because that wouldn't make sense. Good luck!

Sorrys

Due to the unfortunate fact that my computer decided it no longer needed to live, I can not blog anymore except on the weekend and the few days of the week that I use my neighbors computer. I will not be giving up on you, It just means that my blog post will be farther apart. Do not think you must change anything because of this, I understand that I will miss emily's and laura's challenges.



My most sincere apologies, Hadley

Scoring and challenging

Note to all you challenge do-ers, the challenges for fall are going to be harder than the summer series. Bear in mind sometimes the challenge won't take just thirty seconds like they use to!

Scoring the series will be different!

You will not automatically win credit for doing one challenge. You will win credit for doing loops. If there are maybe 9 challenges in the first loop, and Emily wins six and Laura wins two and Brittany wins one, Emily will get one Point. You get credits for challenges won and Points for loops won. The person  with the most points on DECEMBER 1, 2008, will win the fall challenge series. Please understand that I am only making this scoring system so I don't end up juggling big number scores (example: Laura has 47 and Emily has 42 and Brittany has 35)

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE PARTICIPATING IN THE HADLEY PRESS FALL CHALLENGE SERIES!!! 

L1;1

Fall Challenge Series

GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND WELCOME, TO THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE 2008 FALL CHALLENGE SERIES! RIGHT HERE, ON THE HADLEY PRESS! THIS WILL BE A CHALLENGE SERIES OF PUZZLES AND GAMES, THINKING AND SEARCHING, HARD AND EASY, AND OF COURSE... FUNNNN!!!!!!

It's here! The beginning of a brand new string of brain busting, goofball, stupid easy, funny, and every other kind of challenge you can think of. It's different this time around though. My challenges last time were just random things, not similar in any way. This time, I will have mini loops (that's what I call em'). They are mini series of challenges, all linked in some way. I will label the challenges L1;9. That means "LOOP #1, CHALLENGE #9" as the loop you're in is 1, but it's the ninth challenge in that loop. It may get confusing, but don't worry.

P.S. I'll give you a clue to the first mini loop : It's black and orange typically. and many kids are excited about it. Think you know it? Post a comment!

Prize time!

*Please note, since technical difficulties prevented me from posting this earlier, understand this message is late*

Congratulations Emily on winning The summer challenge series! I will as soon as possible award you with a prize. The prize has already been selected and will be awarded in a matter of days. Please understand that I am not always available to go to the store and may not have your prize for a little while. I promise from the bottom of my heart I will get you that prize though. Please be patient.

Congrats, 

                    Hadley

Words can't describe this irritation...

I never thought such a thing was possible... I was reading Breaking Dawn and playing with a penny I had found. I went to turn the page of the book, and dropped my penny. It landed on it's edge, precariously perched in just the right posistion. I laughed, and showed dad and Nick. I had created a monster! Nick and I practiced for about half an hour. The highest anyone got was 15 pennies! FIFTEEN! But dad pointed out that the grooves on the placemat were probably holding the penny's poisition. He stated that it was most likely impossible to do it on the polished table surface. Sure enough, Nick and I proved him wrong. After Nick got his fifteen pennies, he gave up, but I wanted to prove I could make twenty. I made twenty...then fourty...then sixty... Dad was amazed! We all were. Everything was dead quite while I concentrated.  When they had to pass the table, often some pennies fell. In fact, once Nick knocked 21 of my pennies. I managed to get them back up though. We had to eat lunch in the kitchen because I didn't want to make the table shake. I was finally at eighty after lunch. Just one more row and I would have 100!!!!!! Nick, being very careless, stomped across the dining room without thinking and BAM!!! All 80 pennies went tumbling to the floor. FOUR HOURS OF WORK FOR NOTHING!!!!!! Needless to say, I'm still not really talking to him...

The first photo is my eighty successful pennies, and the other is after Nick's egghead event, the third is looking down the row of pennies when I first started, this shows how the pennies are perched.

Challenge #11

What are they thinking? I went to a town called Bennington in Vermont, and there were all these lifelike statues. Your challenge is to think of a full name (first, middle, last) and to say what they're thinking. Good Luck! P.S. The pictures you see are not all of them! There were a ton! Since the pictures won't be in order, when you write their description, make sure you describe the picture you're talking about. 

Hmmmm....

I don't know why, but I really have been finding a lot of really cute and funny cat pics when I do image search, so, here are some of the good ones  that i've stumbled upon.

Cute Smileys :)

Okay so here are some cute faces to brighten your day :P

Challenge #10

Okay, here's the challenge. You have to find the coolest widget for me to put on my blog! If you want some ideas, go to widgetbox

find a cool widget, post the link, and then i will post the winners widget on my blog!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :P

So here's the funniest story ever :P

We crossed into New York, and there was this sign that said: CANADA ONE MILE. So we decided to just go see the Canadian border. We drove until we passed a section of giant orange cones. WE figured it was roadwork or something, so dad kept driving. We passed a large brick building with toll-like booths in front of it. We thought nothing of it, and kept driving. Suddenly, dad said "Um, I think we just passed customs." (Customs are the people that patrol the border so no illegal aliens get in other countries) He turned around and made a mad dash back to American soil... or so we thought. We couldn't get through until we dealed with the customs dude at the booth. Dad pulled up and was like "Uh, Hi, I was just heading towards the Canadian border, and I realized I'd gone to far, so I spun around and it was just a mistake." The customs guy gave him this really stern look and he went "Oh, I see. Can I please have some ID." Now, the conversation had only gotten two sentences in and I was already completely mortified. Dad handed him his drivers license and he took it will the stern look still tight on his face. "Who's in the back with you there?" He asked. "My daughter." Dad answered obidiently. "and this your son?" Dad nodded. The customs officer  entered dad's license info in the computer, searching for things, in case dad was like a psycho freak mass murderer or something @_@.  The whole time dad kept explaing "These guys just wanted to see the border, it was a simple mistake." He would say, gesturing to me and Nick. (Thanks Dad, blame it on us) The customs guy gave dad back his ID, and asked him questions like, "where ya comin' from?" and "Where ya headed?" and finally he said "Have a nice day" and we drove off. For the whole rest of vacation, we joked that I should have talked like a mexican when he asked who was in the back. That would not have been good. And, as it turned out, we didn't even make it to Canada, the dude who gave us a hard time was really US customs, so we really had no reason for trouble, since we didn't even make it out of America. But, needless to say, every time dad screwed up, Nick and I jokingly threatened to call customs on him. He was certainly the laughing stock of the trip. LOL

Bye Bye

Sorry Peoples, but my deal was that the challenges ended when school starts. Since school starts very soon, I will be stopping challenges on August 31st. Good Luck to all. A prize will be presented to the leader of the challenges. And perhaps a prize will be awarded to the person in second just for efforts. Once again good luck. However, if you give me a good reason for why to start my challenges again for a fall competition, perhaps I will reconsider.

Emma being sleepy, cute, and goofy

Artemis

                                                                            Lol she is always sleepy : )
