Liz's Birthday

Can a girl wear a man's watch? Because there was this really cool mens watch that I wanted to get for Liz, but Mom said over her dead body, it was too manly. I thought it was pretty. It had digital and regular time, and a stop watch and an alarm. It was about an inch and a half across the face, so it was pretty big, but it was still awesome.

Create Space

I've been working on my novel, Sacred Promise, so it'll be all nice and shiny and...well, edited, for when I get a proof copy from CreateSpace. I made my cover today. I was pretty sure it was going to be awful but I ended up loving it so much I'm using it for my computer background (sorry EJ, I'll put your picture back up soon ^^).

Yes, this is very random, but I've decided to see just how random I can make my posts. As if weren't already clear how bored I can get ^^

Randomness

I haven't posted anything in a while. Attack of the Chemistry Tests and all that :) Pretty much all I've done this year is study for the ACT which is *gulp* next month, edit novels, and read. And I've been trying to come up with a present for my sister, Lizzy, who just turned eighteen on the tenth. I feel like this should be an extra awesome present, since eighteen is such a huge birthday and I really want to make it special for her.

On another note, I watched the movie Inkheart, which I loved. I'm halfway through the book, and I'll finish it whenever I can figure out where I left it last. And I'm waiting for the book Eona: Dragoneye Reborn to come out. The first book, Eon, is my new favorite book.

I decided to play some sort of ball sport this year, although I can't decide between basketball, soccer, or football. Football would be so much fun. Everybody always tells me I should play basketball because I'm so tall. Soccer, on the other hand, just looks fun, but I have the least experience playing that.

On a random note, has anybody heard anything about the movie Toy Story 3?

The Epic Last Day of the Year Sleep-In

Today is my favorite day of the year. You get to stay up late. You get to toast in the New Year. You get to watch movies all night. I don't have to wash dishes. And it's also the day of the Epic Last Day of the Year Sleep-In. Since one of my new year's resolutions is to get up earlier - if you get up half an hour earlier every day then you add a week and a half's worth of time to your year - I decided to see just how long I could stay in bed. In spite of the sounds of breakfast, kids playing (loudly), the sounds of lunch (I was getting pretty hungry by then), and my sister typing away maniacally on the computer, I made it until 2:30 before I was bored out of my mind and had to get up. So now I'm going to clean my room and decide which movies to watch while I wait for midnight with my sibs. Inkheart is definitely on the program, and Up, and maybe Kung Fu Panda. I don't think we'll be able to watch more than four or so. And I need to find my stash of Oreo cookies. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to keep Oreo cookies safe in this house ^_^ Happy New Years to everybody! Can I say that already? Or do I have to wait until it's actually New Years?

NOOO!!

NOOO! *sniffle* My baby just left! I won't see him again for like...well, a whole day!

Lists

I love lists and it i s time for me to write my favorite one - 25 things for me to do in the year 2010. So far I've come up with eight things.

1. Graduate
2. Score higher on the ACT
3. Learn to drive
4. Finish the Promise Trilogy/Tetralogy
5. Pass Chemistry
6. Read the entire bible
7. Write 200k during NaNo
8. Be nicer to my siblings

I should probably add 'watch fewer movies' to the list but...*sigh* maybe next year.

Shhh...

EJ came home today! It feels so natural to have a baby in the house again. We got the little sign from the hospital to put in the front yard and everything. It's so much fun! I love that baby! Now if only we can convince the little kids that they need to be quiet when EJ's asleep.
