:D


Okay, Christmas time is here, time to give and get. And time to remember the great 'Jesus' (*Say it in a Spanish accent, it gets the point across wayyyyyyy better). And well, I JUST (like two minutes ago) ordered my Christmas gift!!!!!! (: I'm sooooo excited. It's a Flip camera, but it's the newest one. It is touch screen and has a screen to watch the video on it right then and there. :) My parents are getting it for me, for Christmas AND my birthday because of the hefty price. But I'm so excited. :) as you can see with all of the smileys I am inserting into this paragraph. So, since I am so excited. I am going to share with you alllllll of the reasons why I am excited for this Christmas season -- Gift wise at least. First off, I have gotten alllllllll of my gifts ready for everyone. This year I went ALL OUT. I got gifts for everyone. I mean, I got gifts for my itty-bitty cousins, my older cousins, aunts, uncles, grammas, grammpas, ma, pa, sisters, boyfriend, boyfriends family, best friend and my dog. Let me add that up real quick for all y'all.

   1 Ma
   1 Pa
   1 Stepma
   1 Steppa
   4 Sisters
   3 Cousins
   2 Aunts
   2 Gramma's
   1 Grammpa -- yes, I know I am spelling that wrong. But I spell it the way I say it, lol.
   1 (or 8) Boyfriend/s ;)
   1 Boyfriend Sister
   1 Dog
+ 1 Best Friend           
   20 GIFTS

Sure, most of them are home-made, I mean...I'm not made out of money, but I figure I did good this year. :) Now I would tell you what I got them all, but if they read this then it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it? :) I'm so excited to give them their gifts. :)
Also -- Every year I make cookies for all of my close friends so that could add on too. I just love making things to give to my friends. :) Yay! I'm sooooooo excited! (:



  OH! How could I tell you about my gift without giving you the specifics? How silly of me. 
First off, and this is my favorite part of it, part of the proceeds go to cancer research. I think that is great, and I think more companies should include products like this. That is what the S^2C means -- Stand Up To Cancer -- I couldn't really make an arrow though. Whoops. :) Also, this is the newest one, it is called a SlideHD because it has a slide/flip screen that is 3 inches to watch the videos you record on. It's touch screen, and it is totally portable. Oh the array of things I can do with this little gadget. :) Eventually I hope to start putting on video segments onto this blog. Maybe I can teach you guys some cute hair and make-up tips. :) But I have to wait for Christmas. :/ Oh well! I   CAN'T WAIT. :)


Mhmmmmmmmm. :)

Oh. My. Gosh.

--- Definitely making all of this when I get home.

yum, yum, yum.

Okay guys, I know you all got the winter blues. But here is something to cheer you up!




SNOW ICE CREAM. I saw this while I was surfing the internet yesterday, and well...I thought it was too good to be true. But it's not! It's absolutely delicious! And it's only THREE ingrediants. :)

First off you are going to need fresh snow. Stick a bowl outside and wait, or just grab some clean snow. Whateva. And remember the golden rule -- beware of yellow snow.


Take that snow, and add some sweetened condensed milk. How ever much you like. If you wan't it creamier, add more.

Next up is adding some flavor. Put in you're vanilla/vanilla extract, just a little.

And there you have it! Takes just like home-made. :) Happy Holidays!

10 Things to do for the Christmas Season. :)

1. Kiss under the mistletoe. Even if it's just your dog.

2. Make a New Year's resolution and KEEP it.

3. Watch the movie "A Christmas Story." Just trust me. Then buy this lamp.


4. Bake something gooey.

5. Donate to the Salvation Army, Ronald McDonald House, United Way, or the charity of your choice! They work so hard for your donations!

6. Go to church with your family, JESUS is the reason why we are celebrating. Celebrate him.

7. Don't freak out about holiday weight gain. Life is too short to fret all Christmas eve about the calories from your extra helping of eggnog. You'll lose it, no worries. :)

8. Make someone's gift. Get crafty and save money by knitting, designing, weaving, painting, or supergluing at least one present. I'm making most all of my Christmas presents. Bracelets!
9. Read a book for pleasure. Take advantage of having a breather from textbook-devouring and feast your brain on a light novel or your favorite literary classic. I always attempt to do this over Christmas break, but I always seem to fail. :/

10. Enjoy each day as much as possible. Most people have some sort of holidays-related anxieties, whether it's about being with family (or being lonely), money, stress or emotions. Instead of focusing on how much you hate the holidays, look for the special moments, like watching your baby cousin light up when they open a new toy. :)

Hey guys.

So, for Thanksgiving our school gave us a week break, well...two of those days were Parent-teacher Conference break, but a break nontheless. Anyway, I had a pretty eventful break, and it just shows me why I dislike going to school so much. Let me tell you what I did this break.

Monday: First day of break, what am I going to do? Hmmm? I WENT TO SCHOOL. ugh. Well, it wasn't my school, it was one close buy. A few of my friends and I had to go there for the WHOLE day. Yes, 8-3. :/ We had to talk about being in an organization and blah, blah, blah. Then right after that I had to go to practice. Needless to say, it wasn't a great way to start off my break.
Tuesday: Tuesday, I got to sleep in. :) Probably my most favorite thing about having breaks. Sleeping in is such a good treat. I love it. But once I got up I packed my stuff and went to stay with my aunt for the night. See, my grandma and my aunt live in the same house, so whenever I go up there I get to see them both. They are probably the most obnoxious people in the world, but I love them to death. That whole side of the family is so much fun. And they ALWAYS have yummy food. I also went shopping. I had a coupon for two FREE nail polishes, but they were out. :( But I still ended up getting "Spark-a-licious" by OPI. It's so pretty. Then I went to the mall and got some jeggings and a scarf from forever twenty-one. (: Then off to watch glee and go to bed.
Wednesday: Wednesday I woke up at my aunts with a stiff neck. :/ Blech. I woke up and went for breakfast. I got a delicious four-chees souffle and a white mocha. Mmmm. the best breakfast I have had in a while. I chilled there, got all cute and waited for my friends to come pick me up so I could go shopping. We went shopping, but i didn't get anything. I'm saving stuff for Christmas. ;) THEN-- WE WENT TO A HOCKEY GAME. I was a hockey virgin. This was my first game and we went to watch a friend of mine. It was sooooooo fun! (:
Thursday: THANKSGIVING. I went to my grandmas, ate. chilled. The usual. Then I went to my boyfriends. Chilled. -- Good day. :)
Friday: I forget. :/
Saturday: My man's thanksgiving. GREAT food. :)
Sunday: My aunts thanksgiving. I got to see a babbbbbby. :) she's soooooooo cute. :)

-- I know you don't care much about my life. But I thought i'd inform you. :)
