So I just turned 12! On my birthday I:
Had breakfase in bed. Crepes! With marscepone, raspberries, fresh fresh peaches, and chocolate sauce.
Opened presents, in bed! From parents, 'My Neighbor Totoro,' a new watch; from Abigail, earrings; from grandma Judy, a PHONE!; from grandma Linny, notebooks and money; from aunt Julie, fingernail polish and giftcards; from the other Hodges, a Swiss Army Knife and Swiss Army Flashlight (I almost blinded myself!); from the Mumfords, bananagrams; from aunt Pam, a bag and a book; from Paige a KLUTZ book (I love those!).
The reason I do that is because people always ask me what I got for my birthday, and I really don't like answering that question.
THEN we went to P. F. Changs for dinner. I had Crispy Honey Chicken, mom and Abigail shared some kind of shrimp, and my dad ate whatever nobody else did. It was awesome!
I had a kickbutt birthday and I wanna thank you all. :)

My Weekend
It was a fantastic one.
Starting on Friday:
Got home and started frantically packing because I had a sleepover birthday party. I say frantically because my mom (incorrectly) told me that it was to be at 5 o'clock (it was really 5:30), and it was now 4:45.
Mrs. W, I'm going to use some of your pseudonyms, if it's okay. Too late.
It was Bree's birthday and Fiona, Genevieve, and Felicity were there.
Before dinner, we went on kind of a scavenger hunt. We split up into two teams; on my team was Fiona and Felictity, and Bree had her brother and Genevieve.
Each team had one side of the block. We knocked on people's doors and politely asked if they would like to donate food to Operation Food Search. Whichever team collected the most won, but then it was more than that; my team didn't win, but when you do something to help others your heart swells up and you get this lump in your throat that says, "this is right."
For dinner we had cheese fondue with bread, vegetables, crackers and cheese to dip into the cheese. Afterwards there was chocolate cheesecake with strawberries on top.
After dinner, Zelda and Travis made us go up to the third floor while they hid candy on the 1st and 2nd floors. Then, we had to find it in the dark; although the let us have flashlights. It was so fun!
Saturday:
Went home from the sleepover.
There is a farmer's market in Grove Valley Park every Saturday, and my uncle sells strawberries from his farm there. So my cousins were at our house. It was fun, but they kinda made me tired.
For Girl Scouts we had archery in Timber Park and then afterwards we dropped out cat quilts that we made at the APA. We had a look around. It was so sad. I cried.
Sunday:
Went to church.
Had people over for dinner.
Slept in my new bed.
Monday:
Kept thinking it was Tuesday. Don't know why.
Went to school.
Came home.
Did homework.
Blogged quite extensively.

Ten on Tuesday: Things to be Thankful for
Well, things I am thankful for.
1) A warm or cold (depending) house with electricity and running water.
2) A good school with good teachers and good friends where you can go every day and know that you are in a safe environment where you don't have to work on the same thing everybody else is and it is okay if you are smart.
3) Food that will nourish your body and fill you up so that you can be productive in your work and not be all grouchy or tired.
4) Water and milk (and other things to drink) so that you can stay hydrated and so your body may properly function.
5) Clothes to wear so that even though Eve ate the apple and became ashamed, we may not have to suffer in such humility.
6) A warm, comfortable bed to sleep in so that in the morning you may be well-rested and able to carry our God's will.
7) Books to read that are entertaining and keep us busy, and sometimes teach us a lesson.
8) Friends and family who will always be there for us and provide for us, help us, teach us, care for us.
9) A Holy Book to study and learn so we can know what He requires of us and prepare us for His coming.
10) A savior who saves whoever believes and a God who forgives if we forgive and is faithful if we are.

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!

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 Don't Know What To Call This Post (Sorry!)
So, Saturday and Sunday my aunt and uncle were here and we went to the science center (which, by the way, is not nearly as good as the one in Minnesota) and got to swim at their hotel. They are so nice! We even got to have cupcakes because it was his birthday.
Today we didn't have school so we had a play date. All day. It was fun, but yeah. Exhausting. We went to the West County mall and ate lunch at Chick-Fil-A and poked around at Barnes and Noble (but we didn't buy anything. I decided that it was too expensive and I would wait. I have plenty of books). It was fun!
The lady who got hit by a car died. Please pray for her mama. Her mom is the sweetest old lady you'd ever meet!
AARGH, it makes me mad though! The suspect got away! On the bright side, she is in heaven with God with so more pain or hurting or sorrow or anything bad. And the police are giving out tickets! I would say that about 2 in 10 people don't even slow down and probably 6 or 7 don't even stop! That is a problem.

F is for Friend
What is a friend?
A friend is someone who is always there for you.
A friend is someone who is nice to you even if you're [insert your own word{s} here {ex. not as nice, mean, etc, etc...}] to them.
A friend is someone who is patient.
A friend is someone who never lets you down or lies to you.
A friend is someone who will come over to your house at any given time because something bad happened.
A friend is someone you can trust.
A friend is someone who shares with you (most of the time).
Most of all, a friend is someone who will cry with you.
(PS: Notice in the title I use [blank] is for ... but I go in no certain order. Yeaaaaaaaaaah.....)
