So Far This Year:

Hello girls! I just wanted to blog and say "hi" since I haven't posted yet this year!

First off, Happy 2012! This will be a great year, I think I should post more often, too. So far, this year has been pretty good!
During January, we got snow! We had one day where we had a 2-hour delay from school, so that's always good. And so far this month, we've gotten MORE snow. I'm so happy about that, I absolutely love the snow, it's so pretty.
Hmmm......what else has happened so far this year...oh yeah...
I finished "The Hunger Games" in January, and it was SOOOO good. Today, I went out and bought the second book in the trilogy, "Catching Fire" so I'll let you know how it was when I'm done with it.
I'm also reading "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer and I sat and read it yesterday for 1 hour and 10 minutes. I think you can tell that I enjoy it.
Another book I recently finished was "Fablehaven."

I seriously didn't think I would like it.

I was seriously wrong.

It was very...interesting...the only reason why I read it was for a book club at school, and I'm now reading the second book in the series. Reading over this, I should probably put this into an "Awesome Book Reviews!!!!!" post, but I guess it could fit into the "So Far This Year" post as well.
Here are some random things I've really enjoyed this year:
-Pinto bean burritos from Taco Time
-Pandas
-Violin/orchestra
-and watching the shows "Good Luck Charlie" and "19 Kids and Counting"

Today, actually, I had 1 and a half burritos from Taco Time. They were really good.


Well, friends, I am so glad I got to post! I kinda took January off, (and, ahem, most of February) but I'm really looking forward to the following year, and all of the awesome things that will come! See you later! :)

Okay, Cool New McKenna Stuff!

Hey everybody! I was on www.dolldiaries.com and there were more pictures of McKenna stuff! So go on over to http://bonggafinds.blogspot.com/ to see McKenna's most of McKenna's collection!

P.S. Did anyone else notice that when a picture of Chrissa and McKenna are next to each other, they look VERY similar? Hmmm........

You know that post I did back in August of 2010...

...where I made a list of books I liked? I'm going to continue making lists....because lists are awesome.

First, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed the day (I sure did).
Next, I want to make a list of how late I've stayed up 'till, (I know, kinda random, huh?)

In no particular order:
~1:11 A.M, December 26th, 2011
~3 ? A.M, a few years ago
~All night, a little more than a year ago
~2 ? A.M, a few months ago

Yup...there's that. Here's a list of books I've read since September until today:
Savvy
The Sea of Monsters
The Titan's Curse
Allie Finkle's Rules for girls: Books 1-6
Becoming Naomi Leon
Flipped
Finally

All of those books are pretty awesome! I need to do an "Awesome Book Reviews" post on them all, it'll be a long one!
See, I'm trying to post more, so that's good!
I'll do a Christmas 2011 post later this week, hopefully before New Year's because I'll be doing a post for that, too!

See ya later, and please, please comment!

Merry/Happy Christmas Eve!

Hey friends! Just wanted to say that I probably won't be able post tomorrow....but I might be able to the 26th or 27th!
I hope you all are having a nice holiday season and have a great day tomorrow with your family! :)

McKenna

Wow. This is rare that I'm doing 2 posts in one day...within an hour of each other!!!
I saw on Anne's blog over at American Girl Friends, www.dollfriends101.blogspot.com and she talked about the new American Girl doll of the Year for 2012, McKenna!
Go to www.dolldiaries.com to see a picture of her. I'm really excited to read her stories, it looks like she'll be a gymnastics girl! Ooooohhhhh........so EXCITING!
OK, well, I need to do some researching and find out some more stuff about McKenna!

I'd Like Some Snow Please!

(This was a picture I took of Chrissa all geared up for winter.)

You know, winter is my favorite season. And there are many awesome things in winter, like different holidays, and snow! Plus, I'm on a two-week winter break, so that's even better. In the state that I live in, we're supposed to get snow around this time of the year. Well, we got some snow, maybe just enough to go sledding in, but the grass would show through after the sled goes over it. In 2007 or 2008 (can't remember which winter in which year) we received I HUGE amount of snow, where we got in return 5 snow days where we didn't have to go to school. My point is, one of the reasons why I love living where I do is because we truly get every season. There is a definite feeling to winter, spring, summer, and fall........but I'm not quite feeling the winter vibe yet. I love the snow!

50th Post and Dolphin Tale

This is way too cool, it's my 50th post! And about time too, because it took me almost 2 years until I got 50 posts! Ha!

Also, I saw the awesome movie Dolphin Tale last night, and let me say, after the movie, it made me want a dolphin! I really did love that movie, and I'm sure anyone will after seeing this film. Have you seen Dolphin Tale? What did you think of it?
