More Lincoln Logs?!

Ah, yes.  I think I am in love with them.

And this means I get to write in a country accent again!!!

An' fr'm th' top (no, Polly didn' jump off th' top, she perf'ctly fine).

I like to build things.  With Lincoln logs.

Oh, on the subject of Lincoln logs, even though this has absolutely nothing to do with that, I heard a white-throated sparrow several times today.  In the summer, they go to Canada because it is too hot here.  The mnemonic to remember how they sound is "Oh, sweet Canada Canada Canada."  They sing just before they are about to take off to oh sweet Canada, home.  I heard one when I woke up, one at recess, and one when I got home.  It was so exciting.  Now the next step, to see one.  Hmm...  a bit more difficult.  On the bright side, this means it really is spring and not still winter!

Writing

Don't ya love it when you get a letter?!  I do.  It is so nice.  It makes ya feel all warm on the inside and then you write back with a shaking hand because you are so excited.

On the writing topic, I also love to journal.  While I listen to the radio on my alarm clock and sing along... because that's what everyone doees, right???

But not diaries.  Diaries are only for emergencies when, instead of writing in it, you feel like tearing it up.  Hee.

Then blogging, that's almost like cheating.  Wait a second!

Shaw Nature Reserve

I went to stay in a lodge there with Girl Scouts.  It was very fun.

On the first night we went on a night hike.  We did the Halloween thing where you reach in the bag and try to figure out what it is.  There was an antler, a TURKEY FOOT, a freshwater mussel shell, and a turtle shell.  It kinda creeped me out.  Then we did the thing where you chew the Winto-Green Life Saver with your mouth open and make the funny noise.  Well, you don't really need to make the funny noise, but still.  It makes sparks inside your mouth!  but doesn't hurt (duh).

When we got back we played Bananagrams in the Gathering Hall and stuff.  I think we played to late, though because I didn't get as much sleep as I was hoping....

In the morning we had french toast for breakfast with the home made butter that we shookandshookandshookandshookandshook the night before.  It was so good!!!  Then we did a GPS finding your way course and that was very fun.  We got lost, but it was fun.  Not too lost.  But lost.  You know.  The GPS doesn't talk to you like it does in the car.  That would be funny.  "Turn   right   at   the   next   tree.   "   Hah.

Then it snowed.  Wassup wif dat?  I am so mad.  C'mon, it's officially spring, right?  Seriously?

What I find myself doing everyday to be the organized weirdo that I am

Okay, if you know me really well, like really well, you know I go CRAZY if things are messy...

1.  Label things so you know where they go.

2.  Put things back when you are not using them.

3.  Throw things away when you don't need them, they don't work, they don't make you happy or when you don't use them.

4.  Make a schedule (roughly or very prescise, but probably roughly) for yourself so that you can get everything done (mostly chores and homework in my case).

5.  MAKE THE BED.  My sister doesen't and it drives me NUTS.  It just makes you feel cleaner and you feel more ogranized every time you walk by.

6.  You don't have to do everything people ask you to do.  Not everything.

7.  Put things in their own containers so things don't run together and make a mess or get lost.

8.  Clear things off (nightstand, desk, table...) and put it away, don't just throw it in the junk drawer (junk drawer is okay somethime though, I guess it is called the  junk drawer).

9.  Use one of something first, then the next.  Like, if I use all 4 of my erasers at one time, then, well I guess maybe I am just weird.  I dunno.  Bah.

10.  Follow my 9 weird rules  (I'm sure I have more, just don't realize it...).

Ahhhh

Well.  That was spring break.  I remember it like it was two days ago.

But, it is nice to be back at school again.  Tomorrow I have an orthodontist appointment and then school.  Back to life.

But really, it was a fun spring break.

What I've Been Doing...

Okay...

The other day we ate dinner at my dad's restaurant.  Not your average french-fries.

On Monday Abigail and I went over to one of our friend's house.

Then on Wednesday, my friend Paige, me, Abigail, Esther, and my mother went to the mall.  We made Build-A-Bears and it was just a great time.  Then, last night we had a sleepover.  EEK!

Today is St. Patrick's day!  I didn't even get pinched by a leprechaun because I forgot to wear green for about 3.6 minutes (not exactly, that's just a guessing number...)!  I changed my clothes about four times.  Hee.  AND, the weather was absolutely gorgeous.  We went to the Botanical Gardens with Abigail's friend.

I've had a really fun spring break so far! 

I Made That!

Well, I did make myself an AWESOME dinner and was going to write about it.  I took pictures, but it just isn't cool without them.  So I won't write about it.

So, I got the font to change, not exactly how I wanted it, but still good.  Who knows?  By the time I'm done posting, it may change itself again.  And I still can't comment.  WHY? 

PS:  Never mind about the font, it's still the same.

WHY???

THE FONT.

I keep trying to change it, beacause right now, well, it's ugly.  When I try to change it, there's this preview thingy and it looks fine on there, right?  Well, I clike 'view blog' and it still hasn't changed. 

On top of that, Blogger won't let me comment on ANYTHING.  What in the world?

Comment as a Post

It won't let me comment either!

Stupid Font

WON'T DO WHAT I WANT IT TO.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  BAH HUMBUG.

Am I Losing My Mind?

Yesterday, Esther was playing with marbles.  We lost some.

Then, we played cards.  Not a full deck.

I fell off of the rocking chair.

Just kidding.  But it's funny, right?

Hmm, what else is there to blog about???  Oh!  SPRING BREAK!

Tomorrow is the last day before spring break, because there are parent/teacher confrences on Friday.

I get to have a sleepover!  I am so excited!  I hope the weather will be nice.  Maybe we can go on a bike ride.  I haven't had one of those for awhile. 

E-X-C-I-T-E-D spells EXCITED!!!

FOOD

Okay, last night we had some friends over for dinner.

We had horseshoes!  Not the metal kind that go on a horse's foot, though.  Well, more like ponyshoes. Still.

A horseshoe (that you eat) is composed of a piece of toast, a hamburger patty, french fries, and CHEESE.  All piled on top of each other.  Oh my goodness.  A perfect pile of unhealthy yumminess.  With room for cake that Kelly made to squeeze in.

So, it turns out that horseshoes originated form Springfield!  My favorite place to get them (well, the only place I've had them besides last night) is at this restaurant called Darcy's.  Cheese heaven!

AHHHH

This is really annoying!

I keep trying to change the font, but it keeps screwing itself!  I'll try again...

Grandma & Papa

Right now grandma and grandpa are here.

Right now I am roasting inside the awesome new jacket that I don't want to take off.

Right now it is really raining.  Really. Raining. Hard.

Right now I can hear the dishwasher running.

Right now Abigail and grandma are playing the game where cars have houses and talk and run ice cream shops.

Right now I am missing the parade.  It's March 4th.

Right now I am taking off the jacket.
