January.. tomorrow?!

Yup, as you can see by the title of this blog, January is tomorrow. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I am going to my grandparents' house again, after we go eat dinner and maybe go see a movie. I want to see Marley and Me, but as I've heard, it's a tear jerker. It has Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson.  I also want to see Bedtime Stories, which looks hilarious. It has Adam Sandler in it, who is very funny. So you all need to be thinking of your New Year Resolutions, which I am thinking of too. You all should try really hard to not litter, reduce lighting in the house, and other things that can help the planet. (Katie if you are reading this that sentence is dedicated to you.) I have no idea why I am up so early, but I think I'm gonna go back to bed soon. I hope you all are reading for 2009, because it's on Thursday! Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009! I remember saying Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008! But that is so last year. Well I will have 2 more blogs for tomorrow, and one is called Hildey and Me. You will just have to wait! See ya!

Power outage

It's me again! On the 19th of December we didn't have school because it was so icy out. We called it an ice day. On that Friday our power went out twice. Just for about an hour each time. Then on Saturday it went out at 7:30 PM, and stayed out until Sunday, 2:30 PM. It got down to 30 degrees in our house! We had to huddle up under the covers by the fire, wear hats and gloves, two pairs of socks, and a nice warm jacket. The only things we could eat were chips, granola bars, cereal (But you had to get in milk fast out of the fridge), and other things that didn't have to be cooked. It really stank. I hated that weekend. But if this ever happens to you, just do this:

1. Get 3-4 blankets.

2. Put hats and gloves on, and make sure you have a jacket and socks.

3. Put the blankets by the fire place, but not too close. Just lay them over each other on the floor.

4. Grab some pillows and put them with the blankets. 

5. Crawl under the blankets to stay warm.

6. Hopefully, by the time the power comes back on, you won't have froze to death. (It's a joke, it's a joke.)

So if it ever happens to you, just follow those steps and you should be fine! I survived didn't I? Or did I? What if I am a talking zombie?! You better run! ;)

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays! Did you have a good Christmas? I know I did! I got everything I wanted, and more! On Christmas Eve, the skit went really good, and it was pretty funny. I was so happy with what I got for Christmas, and I hope you were too. As everyone knows, 2008 is almost up, and you need to start thinking about your Resolutions. Anyways, back to Christmas. If you want, you can leave a comment telling me a few of the things you got for Christmas! Here are some of mine:

Digital Camera

Purse with girl stuff in it

Ed Hardy clothes, such as, shoes, 2 pairs of leggings, and 2 pairs of tights.

Hot Topic clothes, such as, 2 paris of socks, leg warmers, and a wallet.

And tons more!

I should be at swim practice right now, but I wanted to sleep in one day on Winter Break, and I chose today. I will be swimming tomorrow morning, and Friday morning though. I just wanted to let you all know, that last night we did 63x100's free! My legs are kinda sore right now, but my suit was digging into my side and neck, and it kills! I am reading Eclipse right now, not very far into it, but I'm going to go read it! Bye!!

Christmas time!

Seasons greetings everyone! It's time for Christmas. Christmas Eve is tomorrow, and I am going to my Grandparents' house. My cousins and I are making a small skit, and we can't wait to perform it. I hope I will blog on Christmas, but we all know how busy that day can get! I've been wrapping presents, and making Christmas crafts and cards, and now I am going to make reindeer feed. I am super excited for Christmas. We don't go anywhere on the holiday, but we have tons of fun at home! We play with all our new stuff, and it's a blast. I can't wait for tomorrow though! I always have fun with all my cousins, and the skit is really funny. It's about Santa on Christmas Eve, and how stressed out he gets. It's gonna be fun to perform. We have a lot of props for it, and I need to start getting them. Sorry about this being a short blog, but I am really busy right now! I will tell you all about the skit when I find time. And I will also tell you about my Christmas! Don't forget to comment!!! Bye for now!

Twilight series

Ok so I'm totally obsessed with the Twilight series, and I feel like telling you a little about it. I am more than half way through New Moon, the second book in the series. I just started it about a week ago. In New Moon, I can't stand Bella. Bella is the main character in the book. She falls in love with a beautiful blood-sucking vampire, Edward Cullen. He was born in Chicago, IL in 1901,  but was turned into a vampire in 1917. He was dying of the Spanish Flu, and a doctor at the hospital he was staying at was a vampire. His name was Carslile. Edward's mother talked to Carslile as she was dying of the flu also, and said "Do anything. Just save my son." Carslile knew he could turn humans into vampires, so he turned Edward. Then Carslile turned his "mate" Esme. Then Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper. Alice saw Jasper, and was already turned into a vampire, but she had no idea who did it. Esme and Carslile were the "parents" and the others were the "kids." Bella fell in love, and so did Edward. Edward just knew it wasn't safe, because he wasn't her kind. At first, when Bella first moved to Forks, Washington, Edward really wanted to drink her, but they call themselves, vegetarians because they only drink animals and not humans. Anyway, Bella is really annoying because she obsesses over Edward, and another boy Jacob. She is really whiny too. You're going to have to read the series, if you want to know more. It's not a bad book, not a bad book at all, but she can get annoying at times. You should read the books. They are the best ever. There is 5 books in the series:

1. Twilight

2. New Moon

3. Eclipse

4. Breaking Dawn

5. Midnight Sun. (Which has been illegally put on the internet, so it may not be published, because Stephanie Meyer, the author, is too upset about what happened to fix the mistakes in the rough draft, which was published on the internet.)

Toodles!

Mistakes

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't blogged in 11 days. That is really unusual for me. Just been busy. Please forgive me, I won't let it happen again!! Anyway, I'm concentrating very hard on mistakes I've been making in the pool. Not like bad mistakes, where I'm a bad kid, I mean like mistakes I'm making on my strokes. I can feel the difference when I don't make the mistakes. Maybe when I don't kick enough, or when I breathe in and out of my turns, or maybe I don't do streamline. I concentrate really hard on if I'm supposed to be sprinting on this 100 or 50, but I don't forget the habits I have to let go. So if you're a swimmer, then you would know how much you have to concentrate and let go of bad habits you contain. When I don't act of these bad habits, then I really do feel the difference in my swimming. I can feel me fly off the wall when I am in streamline, kicking like a rocket. Then I kick, and don't stop kicking, I can feel me glide through the water, a lot easier than before. When I don't breathe into or out of my turn, it is actually easier to go faster. I gotta go get ready for my Saturday morning practice, so I'll talk to everyone later!

Bloomington

Yola guys! Ok so at the swim meet, I got all best times on Saturday, except my horrible 200 free. Yes, I did have a bad race, but that's all right. I actually had a good race, because I didn't make it a bad race. Making it a bad race is not learning something from the race. I learned something from that race. I learned I needed to have kicked more in the middle. Anyway, on Sunday I got 2 best times. The 100 fly and the 100 back. I dropped only a few hundredths in my fly and got down to a 1.15.29 in my 100 back! YES!! Oh and by the way, our relay got out J.O. in the medly! We had it in our free relay but we got disqualified. Friday wasn't that good of a day, but that's okay, because I have other chances. Anyway, I swam with gold last night. It was the best ever! It was hard, but not really hard. It was fun too. Swimming with gold is always fun. I was in my friend, Jared's, lane. I just heard breaking news. The governor of Illinois has been arrested! AHH! Well, we are decorating Christmas trees so I gotta get my booty going! Talk to you later!

Swimming!!!!

OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT BLOGGING! I have been really busy with swimming, Christmas decorations, and school.  Anyway, over the weekend I swam with gold TWICE! It was so awesome. Saturday was really, really hard. Even for the people in gold. Then on Sunday I was expecting hard, and of course it was. But there was only two people in each lane! I was with my friend, Chris (It's a boy). It was a lot of fun. I don't really remember the sets, but they weren't too exhausting. I have a swim meet this weekend, and I'm really pumped up. Wish me luck please! Anyway, I'm going to be checking the Halloween Costume Contest soon, the deadline for the costume is on Friday, the 5th. If you don't have it in, I'm sorry, but I've given you over a month! If you win, the prize will make you happy.. I hope!! Enter your friends' costumes in the contest too! Back to swimming. Tomorrow is the Christmas Party for our team, and then Friday is the meet! Well I should be getting ready for bed, so I will talk to you later. I'm really sorry I didn't blog sooner! And remember, ENTER COSTUMES!!
