I pretty much just woke up. My brain isn't working fully. But I don't really care. I'm in a very good mood today. I'm thankful for everything. The sun is just coming up and I can see it through my bedroom window. This week has just been lovely. On Sunday it was wonderfully rainy. perfect for curling up in a sweater and reading a good book. And we even got to go to confession ( I LOVE that sacrament. Awesome stuff. :D ) It was a very good day.
Yesterday I was in the oddest mood! I was incredibly hyper. It probably drove my family nuts, but it made me happy! I did my school, (or most of it) and I even made dinner. I had a lot of fun with that. we need to pick all the veggies in the garden before it freezes, so I pretty much picked a bunch of stuff and threw them in a pot of pasta with some sort of sauce. it was delightful. I really like making dinner. or, I do once I get started on it. before I kind of dread it. But I think thats normal. :)
The only thing that is making me sad right now, is that I haven't been to any kind of social event in a really long time. I miss my friends a lot. By best friend goes to high school and doesn't have a lot of time to chat with me. Blaaah. School is such a pain! :)
I got my book Inkdeath today!!! I am SOOO Happy. I have to finish the other book I'm reading right now before I start it tho. :P I'm really excited.
Well, I guess I better get up and start my day. :D

WAYIN
You can't be in London for long without going to the zoo. There are some people who begin the Zoo at the beginning, called WAYIN, and walk as quickly as they can past every cage until they get to the called WAYOUT, but the nicest people go straight to the animal they love the most, and stay there. So when Christopher Robin goes to the Zoo, he goes where the Polar bears are, and he whispers something to the third keeper from the left, and the doors are unlocked, and we wander through dark passages and up steep stairs until at last we come to the special cage, and the cage is open, and out trots something brown and furry, and with a happy cry of "Oh, Bear!" Christopher Robin rushes into its arms. Now this bear's name is Winnie, which shows what a good name for bears it is, but the funny thing is that we can't remember whether Winnie is called after Pooh, or Pooh after Winnie. we did know once, but we have forgotten.....

Fall
It's finally here. One of my favorite seasons of the year. It's pretty cold out there right now. I'm wearing socks and a sweater. YAAAY! :D Everything is very peaceful right now. My sisters started school today so yet again it is the band of five. I have to admit, I am enjoying it thoroughly. Things have been so crazy and hectic lately, I'm so glad things are cooling down a bit. Clara and my mom drove to Seattle last week for a few days. Clara had another thing with some college down there. I'm not even sure which one it was. But in any case, it's the last trip they will be taking for a while. ( YAY!!!)
I'm going through some theater withdrawal right now. I miss it so much. CYT's Peter Pan auditions were a few weeks ago. I didn't get to audition sadly. I really wanted to but it just wasn't possible this time. Lot's of my friends got in. I am really excited about seeing it. it's going to be amazing. and yes, they are going to fly. *SIGH* It gives me chills just thinking about it. I can't wait.
I went to a Youth Group for the first time in my life on Sunday. It was ok I guess. I went with a family I really love, so that made it fun. I still don't really know what to think of it. My parents have wanted to get me in to one all year. But it just doesn't seem worth it. I don't really fit in with the other kids there. And thats just fine. I'm not really interested in being in their clicks. They seem so... immature. It feels really weird to say that being that I am younger then most of them, but the way they would act around each other was so strange! And of course they were all flirting with the guys and everything. And they weren't very respectful to the adults there. And they didn't seem to want to learn anything. It was like they just came for the social part. It was kind of frustrating. I had a feeling that is was going to be like that. So it wasn't a big surprise or anything. I just had some hope that it would be different and was disappointed when it wasn't. So yeah. I had a good time for the most part. But I don't think I want to be a part of that. Oh well.
Books! I am reading Inkspell at the moment. I love it. It's so much fun to read. I love the characters in that book. I am really excited for the movie Inkheart to come out. but at the same time I'm dreading it. Andy Serkis is too comical to be Capricorn. and the guy who is playing Dustfinger is BLOND! Dustfinger has BROWN hair. He just doesn't look right at all. And one more thing. the Guy who is playing Mo, also played George of the Jungle. WHY?!?!?! I swear I won't be able to look at him with out thinking of that. *SIGH* oh well. I hope they do a good job despite the casting. :P Anyway. I also finished reading Peter Pan last week. I've been trying to read that one for a really long time, but I've never gotten past the first chapter. You kind of have to get used to the language. It's written like a play! It's very fascinating. I really enjoyed reading it. I think it might be a favorite. :) ok I think I'm done now. :D
Later!

September. :)
Where to start! It's amazing how things stack up after you haven't posted in awhile. I'm sorry about that. things have been kind of crazy. But a peaceful kind of crazy... :P So! Here it is. the school year. It's not much different then summer for me. I was doing school all through the summer, so all that's really different is that the homework is more intense then it is during the summer. I'm pretty happy.
Oh! I have a new piano teacher! Her name is Chelle. She's pretty nice. I've only had three lessons with her, so we are still kind of feeling each other out, if that makes any sense. She's having me pick out some music at home that I like so she can find out what kind of music I'm interested in playing. That's kind of nice.
Half my family is in Colorado right now. Clara is auditioning for the flute teacher at Bolder, and my other sister Karen is auditioning for the voice at some other college in Colorado. so this week it's just me and my oldest sister Dana in the house. and of course Maleny and David. But mostly it will be just me because Dana works. It hasn't been so bad so far. I actually handle things pretty well. David helps me make dinner and sometimes we will do something fun afterwords. we have a good time. and Auntie stops by after work to check on me. so that's really nice. David has been a real sweet heart. Which makes me happy. I'm glad he isn't depressed because mom isn't around. they all come home on Saturday.
I haven't been doing a lot of reading lately. I haven't really felt like reading. well actually, I've wanted to read, I just haven't wanted to sit down and read.... I don't know. It's weird. :P I think I might get back at it today. I went to the library this week and there are books on my bed waiting to be opened.

Welcome to August
The craziest month of the year for my family.
It's me and Davids birthday month. Mine is on the 14th and Davids is on the 10th. Four days apart. The week before the birthdays, we clean like crazy. The week of, we party. The week after, we clean up and then we crash. and that leaves us with one more week of august. that flies by, and when we actually have time to look at the calender it's already September. It's amazing and crazy. I love it.
This week has been pretty crazy and busy. Which is ok with me. I like being busy. it saves me some feeling sorry for my self cuz I have nothing to do. =)
SO! I passed swimming level 6 last week! I am so glad I did. one of my class mates had done it 3 times already and he still didn't pass it. so now he's doing it again for the 4th time. there is no way I would be able to do that. So now that I've passed that level, I'm helping teach the younger kids! It's awesome. My favorite class to help with is the one for the REALLY little kids. Between the ages of 2 and 5. the kids are SO cute and so much fun to work with. but they are NOT to be looked down upon. they are amazing. And SO brave! If I was three years old, there is no way I would be able to jump off the side in the deep end! These kids are begging to go off the diving board! It's so much fun to watch them.
So yeah. I spend four hours at the pool every week day morning. I'm having a blast. I come home pretty much dead, but it's worth it. :)
We are pretty much done painting our house. we have to put the trim on and then we are done. I'm happy. I've gotten used to the blue. I don't mind it so much now. I'm just happy that it's getting done.
Alright. My sisters coming home from CA tonight and I need to go clean.
Bye for now!

Part of my little kidness.
I was going to name this post Part of my childhood but then I realized, wait... I'm still in my childhood... :P
These videos are from a movie that we used to get out ALL the time from the library. I still sing the songs around the house. It's a short movie called Really Rosie. It is really cute and it has all sorts of wonderful songs that I just love to bits. So enjoy!
The Ballad of Chicken soup. the best.

Wet Paint
We're painting our house. Blue. Really blue. I don't like it at all. We have the strangeist house on the block. I suppose it will be better when we get the trim on. It's just right now that it looks bad... *sigh*
I painted the very first strip on the house.
Me and my mom painting.
My sister Dana
Me. :D
Tired Painter Dana.
Other then painting, not a lot has been going on. I'm reading like crazy and having a jolly good time. Yesterday was lovely. All I did was read, paint, and go to mass. The reading was my favorite. I finished a book called The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. It was an amazing book. and now I have started on the book that comes after that one, The Queen of Attolia. Its wonderfully thrilling. After that I am planing to start Inkheart. I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'm excited to start that one. Other things that I have on my shelf are Our only May Amelia By Jennifer L. Holm, and The Kings Fifth by Scott O'dell. And then after those I will need to go back to the library.
Oh! and I turn 13 in 24 days!!!! *Dances* I am sooo excited. I think I'm done being 12 now. I can move on. Here comes another adventure.....
