Okay, I am welcoming myself back to blogger after a long absence due to grounding. Life has been pretty general around here, chores, homework, being cinderella, the usual. ;) Christmas is comming!!! Hooray! I love christmas, eggnog, christmas trees, mistle toe, presents, decorating, but my favorite thing is yet to come... Fires! Lots and lots of fires in the fireplace, with a really good smell and everyone being cozy. Not that i am a piro or anything. I just like fire, that's all. It is all cold outside and you have a great thick jacket to protect you from these harsh southern california winters. ;) So I now have a new favorite movie, it's pride and predjudice. I really like it. I've been sick for like a month, but what else is new?! I dont look so hot. I miss my sister rebecca alot. I think she should be comming home, now! But i dont really get a say in the matter. I am really excited to get a dog this christmas! Nobody could replace my last dog, but it'll be fun to have a puppy around again. Cleo is okay, she is just more like a cat than anything, and i am not really keen on cats. I am now eighteen and i still have no rights. Bummer, but it is true. Well i no longer have anything to write about. If anyone has any tips about hamlet please leave a comment. Okay, all you guys out there who check this blog, i am not dead. That was the point. Happy Christmas! (I know it is merry christmas, but i like the brittish version better. no complaints please.)

Okay, so today we moved Sara and Matt and hallie into their new apartment! It is really cute and hallie gets her own room...aka the closet. I hope she likes it in there. So i think i am going paintballing on the 14th with my dad and alot of other people. I just hope i am not the only girl! That would make me like public enemy number one, A huge target for all! So that should be fun, getting shot at and all, you know, bruises galore and whatnot. I like all this blogger stuff! It is nice, everyone gets the same info without like half an hour of phone calls ect. Not that i dont like to talk, cause i do, but, seems like i am running out of time latley to do the things that i want to get done. My sister's wedding is on the 28th, and my birthday is on the tenth. Eighteen, hooray! So i think i'm gonna get a new cute dress for the wedding with my birthday money. Hallie stayed the night with us last night and she is really cute! Poor thing is sick though. Ummm... I dont really have much in the way of new news. Sorry. But i am really excited to turn eighteen. Even though it gets me no rights except voting, It just seems like one of thoes milestone ages like 8 or 16. I like it! Okay well i have nothing else to say, but if more people would leave me comments that would be nice. I like it. Love, Me

So i've gotten a few complaints about the devil picture but i have to say that i really like it so if you dont, just scroll faster! Just kidding, after more people see it i will take it down, but it is really funny. HAHAHA see that is me laughing.

Hmmm... well i havent posted in while and sis wilson told me i needed to update my blog so of course i am obeying. So life is good. I really am happier than i have been in a long time. I think it is because winter is comming and that is my favorite season, in california. (which is like fall anywhere else, so i guess i like fall?...) (i am confused...) i just love the cold, we'll put it that way. School is in session and i really like it! School is great! I think i am getting a cold, darn it! oh well life goes on! Roses are blooming! How pretty are they? I just love them, but only when i dont have to get stuck with thoes sharp things on the stem. Piano has started back up. Horray! and i am teaching now, which is totally fun. My student is so cute and really patient with me cause this is my first time teaching. So no word on any job openings yet. But i am working for my grandma tomarrow and so i can start to make payments to my mom for my accident last year, when i wrecked the car. That curb jumped out of nowhere i swear! Okay i guess i have rambled enough! much love to all the fam out there who read this stuff! this picture is the one matt doctered to make me look like a devil. I dont really like to look at it, but maybe someone out there will find this funny.

Okay so these are the glamor shots that sara took of me. I like them. By the way, the one where i look unusually tan and have really white teeth is the one that matt photoshopped. But the rest are real me. I think i should probably write more in my blog. But unfortunatley i dont really have that much to say. Nothing interesting anyway. But here is an idea. Lara is getting married! Here is the other news: My birthday is on october tenth, I will be eighteen! Holy mackrel! Now i can smoke! Just kidding, i can but i wont. And lara is getting hitched on october 28th. My favoritist thing ever is sleeping, kinda random but i feel really tired! I suddenly have the urge to watch my favortie move, (for thoes of you who dont know it is Calamity Jane with Doris Day) and i really want to watch 1776. We watched that movie in English and i just love the songs! "He plays the violin..." HAHAHa yeah, i am lame, but in the happy sort of way. So you are probably really bored reading this cause it is just a list of my random thoughts. But, i have one question for you, Why are you still reading? Okay, here's a joke, Why is the ocean so friendly? Give up? Because it waves!! Okay i guess that is all

Yeah so this is me. I'm real cute huh? But i really like the Ronald McDonald look with all of the stripes. But this is how i am now a days too. Constantly sleeping. Who knows why but i really like to sleep and dream. Mostly cause you dont get to pick what you dream about. It is like a movie while you sleep! How awsome is that! Okay I know it is lame but that is how i really feel about it. And I also have a hard time keeping my eyes open most of the time. Oh well... Some people just need sleep. Just a random thought.

Well... I am 17 years old, (almost 18) kinda short, blonde, forgetful, and, oh yeah, really really extremely good looking! (I am not being vain, it is from zoolander, sheese!) I come from a fairly large family and we are all very involved in eachother's lives. We don't always get along, but I really like all of my siblings, parents and all other family members. (And I love them always;) I have the cutest neice and nephew that anyone has ever seen! They are both adorable and talkative, even if you can't understand what they are saying you can tell that it is something deep. My interests are in the piano, movies, art and I really like talking to people. Humm.. I guess that my life isn't all that crazy but hey, I think that we are unique. This year I am going back to regular high school, part time at least. Hooray!! I love kids, probably more than adults or teenagers. Maybe cause they don't really care if you are a dork. ;) As a family we are taking up playing tennis. By the way, we are all really bad at it! No joke I think we spend more time chasing the ball then actucally hitting it. But hey it is good excercise and we get to hang out as a partial family. I say partial cause we are not all together. I have siblings out of state with their spouses and we don't get to see them very often. By the way, my brothers in law and sister in law are fantastic! Really they fit in to our family so well and and we are all very attached. Especially my sister in law, cause we spent alot of time together with my other sisters, bonding and causing havoc. We had alot of fun that summer. My sisters are very important to me. I always ask their advice and go to them first with good news. They are my best friends. But I do have friends outside of the family... I am not a looser! I love going to church and seeing everyone I have grown up with. They have all put up with my talkativeness and made me a better person in the process. Me and my mom are really close. I tell her pretty much everything, except the stuff she doesnt want to know. ;) And I tell her on a daily basis how lucky she is to have me. Seriously! I say, "Mom, you are so lucky!" and she says, with a grin, "Yep I sure am". And I can't really tell if she is kidding. I have wonderful grandparents and the one whom I am named after really has a effect on my life. She isnt afriad to tell me that I am being retarded. Also she isnt afraid to run away from the police. (It's a good story, ask me about it later!) My dad is cool and tells reallllly corny jokes. But hey, we love him anyway! My dog is a ginormous chihuhahua that is black and really cuddly. She burrows under my pillow at night and i have to kick her out when I discover that I am uncomfortable. But she is cute and keeps the possums off the back fence. (She thinks she is a big, intimidating dog, ha) I am really bad at remembering to take care of my pets. I think I have killed a few goldfish, waterdog, bird and some others that I forgot. I think I could be in trouble for neglect. Okay well I gotta go swimming! I'll post later.
