Happy VEERRY belated "wear-green-or-get-pinched" day!!!

Happy (very belated) Patty's Day!! I started writing this post on the 18th, but never finished. So. Yeah. Anyways. I'll get on with it. MMkay. Yup. Here I go. Gettin closer. Almost there. Yup. Uh huh. So... I better get started now. ANY minute now... Come on. Out with it. Where do I start? I'll start here:

Fish & Crabs
You probably remember me telling you about my fish, Fabio, and previous posts. Well, he went on to a better place. Well.. I guess he did, I don't really know if there is a fishy heaven or not.. but let's just hope there is. :) I might get one more fish, I am not sure. But as soon as I scrap together a few more bucks, (and knowledge about crabs) I'm gonna get myself a couple of crabs. NOT hermit crabs, just regular teensey little crabs.


Book
You might have read on my writing blog that I was writing a book (I posted chapter one) and that I was pretty sure I was going to finish this one. Well guess what? I haven't yet. I came up with a new idea *rolls eyes*. I will go back another time and finish that one I started, but I came up with a new one that is probably going to be called 'The Darkest Valley'. I have written part of the epilogue (ya know the "chapter" that goes before the actual chapters :P first time I've ever written one, but this book needs one). I will post the epilogue on my writing blog after I finish it. I still haven't completely gotten what I want the book to be about yet, but I'm working on it. I am definitely not going to write the regular chapters until I figure out exactly what I want (which I might change later on). I just know exactly what I want the epilogue to be, that's the only reason I've already started that part.
The main character's name is Travis Cape Summers. He got his middle name from the island he was born on -- Cape Island. It will be mostly an adventure book. I just haven't quite figured out what I want to happen in the book.
Oh, I am putting up a poll on my blog (top left) for you to vote on which name I should use for Travis's adventure buddy. Their both 15 (the one with the name ur gunna vote for is a girl fyi), and the girl is really adventurous. I really want you to vote on it. Thanks!!


Heartland Books
Me and my friend Jana are reading the Heartland series. They are these really good horse books about a horse place called Heartland that rescues horeses and cures problem horses. The main character is Amy Fleming, and she looooves horses. Here is what the back of all the books say:

"Heartland is a horse farm nestled in the hills of Virginia, but it's much more than that. Heartland is a place like no other - a place where the scars of the past can be healed, a place where frightened and abused horses learn to trust again."

What do ya think? Sound interesting? I have read all 22 (I think that's how many...) of the books before, but I am starting over again and I am on book #5. Don't tell my mom, but I stayed up till 4 am last night reading the whole 4th book :P


Pictures
Here are some random pictures I've taken this month:

Poll Results and other random ramblings

Ever heard of Jason Mraz?
YES! I love him!
1 (20%)
Yeah, he's ok
2 (40%)
Yeah, don't like him though
0 (0%)
Nope
2 (40%)

Jason Mraz is a 31 year old AWESOME (in my opinion) singer!! So, of course, that means I voted "YES! I love him!" His most popular song is "I'm Yours". Look it up ;) I also love his song "Sleep to Dream". It's really pretty :) But unfortunately, he has to put the Dirty 'D' word in both of those songs :(

Random Ramblings

Remember when I said I got four fish? Yeah well... Tad died. :( Wait, I think I already told you that.. anyways.. I went back to the pet store and replaced Tad with this fish, Tad Jr.:

Well, a couple days back... Tad Jr. died. And before that, my fish Fez died. The white one in the picture below

This time, I did not go back to the store to get a replacement fish. I decided to just stick with my fish Fabio:

But guess what happened yesterday? My sucker fish Alfonzo died!! I don't think he had enough to eat :( Cuz I had pretty much just cleaned the tank, and he had been moving around a lot looking for stuff to eat, and I guess there wasn't any *cries*. I really liked that fish.. Especially his name :P Here is Alfonzo:

Not a very good picture, but it is the best one I have. So now I only have Fabio, and he's not looking too well.. In fact he's probably already.. dead. I'll check when I go upstairs for bed. If he is dead, I am going to get one more fish, and hope it lives, lol.

As soon as a get some more money, I am going to buy myself a couple of crabs! Yes, crabs. At PetSmart, they sell crabs. Little ones. About the size of a quarter, or actually a teensy bit bigger than that. They have two different kinds. One is a 'mini crab' and they are $3.89 a piece (I think it's .89...); and the red claw (or something like that) kind (the ones with one claw that is REALLY big) and they are $2.89. I think it would be so cool to have pet crabs!!!

You know, I still have not posted about The snow day on March 1st. Or was it the 8th.. no, I think it was the first. Anywho, I took a TON of pictures, which I will post hopefully really soon :) I'll write about it in that post too.

OMG I am down to only SIX pets! SIX! Whatever shall I do!?!?!? I must get 3 more fish, 2 crabs! Another horse!! 16 more rabbits! 7 more dogs!! 11 cows!! 37 goats! 96 sheep! 1400 hamsters!!!!!!!!!!! :O:O:O:O:O Okay.. not that many. I don't really want 1,580 pets.. But I do plan on getting another fish IF Fabio dies, and I do plan on getting 2 crabs, and one more horse (because Valley is going crazy from loneliness since Chloe died).

One more thing before I go....

YOU PEOPLE (and aliens) ARE NOT VEIWING MY BLOG VERY MUCH!!! (or at least aren't commenting much)!!! How DARE YOU!?!?!?!? I NEED MORE VEIWERS! MORE COMMENTERS!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!!! So... TELL YOUR FRIENDS, TELL YOUR FOES, TELL YOUR ANNOYING BROS! TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS, TELL YOUR CONGRESSMEN, TELL YOUR MAILMEN (and women), TELL YOUR DOGS, TELL YOUR FISH, TELL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!! So, come on and TELL THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buh-bye now!

Help! The bloggin' cops are after me!

*sirens* AHH Help! I need a place to hide! The POB (police of blogging) are after me!! *more sirens* Why are they after me? Because I haven't posted in like TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *shocked faces with shocked gasps from the audience*. I know, I know. This is probably the worst crime I have ever committed. The POB will probably put me in Blog Prison for Juvi's (BP4J) for two months :( I don't WANT to go to BP4J!!! *climbs into trash can* OK, I think I'll be safe here until tomorrow when the trash man comes and takes all the trash. Until then, I will tell you all the exciting things that has happened to me since Christmas:




A Sad Farewell


The Sunday before New Years eve (2008 of course), we came home from visiting my grandma. When we pulled up into our driveway, I called for my dog Ranger. I called and called, but he didn't come. I figured he was roaming the neighborhood as usual. But my little dog (Amy) was at home, so that was unusual for Ranger to be roaming without Amy. I didn't think much of it though.




I went inside, and got on the computer (but unfortunately I wasn't blogging :P). Then the phone rang. My dad answered. "I got some bad news," He said after he got off the phone. "The person that called said that his daughter just hit Ranger (with her car) and he's dead." :O :( :O OMG I couldn't believe it! I went upstairs to my room and laid on my bed, while the boys went to get Ranger and bury him. Dad got his collar (which for some wacky reason was broken), and gave it to me.


Here is a slide show I made of him:







Fostering


New Years eve, we got another foster puppy!! She is soo cute! Her name is Trix (but we called her Trixie). Trixie is a golden retriever mix. She was so playful, and played with Amy quite a bit! Here are a couple pix of her. Ok, more like five, but they were all so cute, I couldn't choose just a 2 or 3 :P



Trixie biting my hand

















She got scared of the vacuum cleaner, and climbed into the shoe box :P



















































Amy nicely sharing her basket with Trixie :)

















Trixie was fun to have. Despite the fact that everywhere I turn in the house, I found a poopy mess. And when I finally think I got all the messes, I turn around and find another one! *sigh*. Amy loved her. They played like all the time :) Fortunately, she got adopted and went to a really nice home to a seven year old boy on February 5th.:)



New Years Sleepover

So, New Years Eve (Wednesday) of 2008, I had five of my friends come over and spend the night for a New Years sleepover. It was fun! That was the first day we got Trixie, so we all went up to my room (which was pretty much clean then. But now... it is a total wreck!) and played with the puppy. Then we took the puppy downstairs, and got my bunny, Lily, and let her hop around my room.



I can't remember what we did until midnight.. but at midnight, we got our blowy noise maker thingies, and blew them. We also had those popper confetti things. I accidentally popped mine before 12 though :( I have had those confetti things for like 5 or more years! LOL cuz every Fourth of July or New Years, I'd forget I had them. But I finally got to use them. Yay!!




Right after we did the confetti, we ran outside to the trampoline to jump on it. We jumped on it, counted to 3, then screamed "HAAAPPYY NEEEWW YEEEEAAARR!!!!!!!!!" Good times, good times. At some point we went out to the pasture to scare the horses, but there wasn't enough of us, so it didn't really work.. It was freezing, so we went back inside. I can't really remember anything else we did. I don't have any pictures because my camera was broken then ad was getting fixed :(



Moving on....








Basketball

I don't think I told you this, but I am doing basketball this year! I finally got the nerve to play :) I am playing at a church that is like 2 1/2 minutes away from where I live. It is also two churches down from the church I go to.

There isn't enough girls to make two teams at the church (I'll call it WC cuz that's the initials), so women play too. I didn't realize how much fun basketball is until I played this year. :) Saturday, February 28th is the last game :'(. I wish we could play through the summer. The older guys get to play basketball every Tuesday night throughout most of the year, and us girls might get to do that too :D

RODEO:

Saturday, February 31st; I went to a rodeo with my mom. That was fun! I got to see bull riding (for the first time in person), team roping, cattle roping (is that what it's called?), barrel racing (:D), and bucking bronco. I took a lot of videos, I might post here later. Or on my Valley blog (which, BTW, I posted on). I don't know.

Superbowl party

As you all probably know, February first was the day of the Superbowl. The church had there annual Superbowl party. But for those who didn't want to watch the game, they had set up a movie in the old sanctuary. We watched the now popular movie "Fireproof". And omg, that was an AAAWWWWEEEESSSOOOOMMEEE movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYone should see it! Especially married couples. It is so cooL!!!!! I STRONGLY suggest that you people who are reading this that has not seen the movie, SHOULD!

It is from the creators of the movie "Facing the Giants" and another one, I can't remember the name. The star of "Facing the Giants" is the director of Fireproof. About a week later, my mom rented the movie, and me and her watched it. Then right after we finished watching it, Luke came in and he wanted to watch it, so he sat down, and me and him watched it. LOL I watched it twice right in a row, and didn't get tired of it :D The bloopers are HILARIOUS cuz they play pranks on each other and it's so funny!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day I spent with Luke, Luke's girlfriend Stephanie (Steph), and Steph's 12 yr old sis Allison (Al). Me and Luke drove the 2 hours (well, LUKE drove. I didn't) down to Stephanie and Allison's house (actually their parents house, but you know what I mean). We hung out for a few minutes at their house. They have the CUTEST little puppy EVER!!!!! His name is Benny, and he's really small and REALLY cute. I will post pictures (via slide show) after I write about that day.

After seeing the puppy, Luke drove us (just him, me, Steph, and Al) to a park. We were walked around a little bit, then played on the playground and swung on the swings a lot. While we were sitting down, we saw a guy that looked about 18 carrying a rose. We figured he was going to give it to his girlfriend, so me, Stephanie, and Allison ran after him to follow him cause we wanted to watch :D

We followed him as he started along the path around the small pond. He kept stopping by the bench's and stuff and putting like a rose there (see first picture in the below slideshow). We were like, "What is he doing?" Stephanie decided when he came back she was going to ask him what he was doing. He came back. Stephanie asked him. He said, "I'm doing it for my girlfriend." As soon as he walked away; me, Steph, and Al said, "AAAAWWWWWW. How sweet!" I wonder if either he is going to propose to her, he screwed up (Luke's idea), or he's just doing it for Valentine's Day and because he loves her. IDK...

We left the park and went to the mall. We walked around, went in a few stores and blah blah blah. We bought a big pizza, and 4 root beers (in a glass bottle :D). After that, us girls wanted to ride the carousel. But Luke didn't want to. We finally forced him though :D

When we left the mall, we went to the move theatre. We bought four tickets to 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop'. We were stupid and didn't look at the time. The next showing wasn't for another hour and 15 minutes!!! So we sat at the movie theatre for over an hour. FINALLY, it came time for the movie. It was a pretty funny movie. Luke thought it was ok. He says it was too predictable. Which it kind of was... except for one part at the end, was TOOOTAALLY unexpected.

After the movie was over, we went back to Steph and Al's house. We hung out there for just a couple minutes, then we all (and their dad) went to wal-mart. Their dad stayed outside in his car, while the rest of us went in to get some stuff they needed. We met one of their cousins there, and at the mall we met one of their cousins there too. After wal-mart; we sadly had to part. :( So we said our farewells and parted.

Choir

This year, I am in the Easter choir for church. All the teenagers that are in it are: Caleb, Zoe, Miley, and Juliana, and me. We have had one practice so far. All of us besides Juliana (and Caleb of course) are Soprano. But me and Miley want to be Alto :( oh well. Not much to say here, so moving on!!

Fish

Yesterday, I got four fish! I got one fish that is exactly what ya picture when someone says 'goldfish'. He has a beautiful tail, and I named him Tad. Now Zoe and Caleb don't go jumping to conclusions. I did not name him after the Tad we know, I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the name Tad. It's my fav name :D

Then I have a small white fish with a little bit of orange on his head. His name is Fez from the show 'That 70's Show'. Fez is really shy and hides a lot.

Then there is Fabio [fa-(as in father)bee-oh]. He is a big white and orange fish that I got from the same tank as Fez. They are like best buddies. I got his name from my absolute FAVORITE part from the movie 'Finding Nemo'. It is the part where Dory is talking to the other fish and says "Oh, be easy on him. He's lost his son, Fabio". I LOOOOOOOOOVE THAT PART! LOL!

And the last one is a pretty small sucker fish (not the real name). His name is Alfonzo. I got that name from a quiz on FB (facebook). The question was 'what would you name your goldfish?'. So I bought a fish and named it that. LOL.

Summing up

Well, that about sums up the month and a half I've been 'breaking'. I will try my best not to EVER have that long of a break again. Unless I go on a loooong trip. Or I have no access to a computer. Well, I have to get out of this trash can without the blogging police seeing me, and I have to get ready for my last basketball practice, so I'll talk to you guys lata!!!!! Don't forget to vote on my poll, visit my valley blog (http://trainingvalley.blogspot.com/), and say random things to random people at wal-mart. BYE!!!!!!
