Birthday Girl!

That was AWESOME!!!!! In case you were wondering I had a GREAT birthday! Unfortunately my big movie - and - the - mall trip with my group of friends was rescheduled, but I still had a great time. Me, and everyone in my family all went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. The food was delicious but I ate so much chips and salsa I was too full to eat anything but cake. Oh, and about the cake, IT WAS ADORABLE!!!!!!!! My cake was made by a friend of my grandmother's, and she did a WONDERFUL job. It had white icing with red and blue trim, but my favorite part was the top of the cake which had a pop out Herbie the love bug on it. it was sssssssooooooooo adorable! We ate the cake part that night but we saved the Herbie for later, (because I was to squeamish to let anyone cut it; ) Aside from the cake, I got a lot of great presents. Including: a cute little piggy bank shaped, once again, like a VW bug ( you start to realize the theme of my little party ), a silky pink scarf ( which I wore yesterday, thank you Nina :), twenty smackeroonies spending money ( yes, I know that's not a word ) and plenty of other great stuff. All in all I had a great time was so glad I got to spend time with my family. The only two drawbacks were, first of all, that my cousin Abby couldn't be there, and second, that poor Herbie had too stay home as he has a flat tire. ; ) = 0

The Final Countdown!

Well here I am. Biting my lip, bored out of my wits, only about fifteen hours away from officially becoming a "teenager". Today I'm trying to be EXTRA good. So that they have to e EXTRA nice to me tommorow. I feel like Annie: " Toooomorrow, tomorrow! I love ya! tomorrow! your only a day away!!"

Happy Birthday!!!

No, no, no, Your right, I am one day off from MY, birthday, today is my dear, wonderful fathers birthday. For the sake of politeness ( and because I don't want to spend my day in my room ) I will not tell you how old he is turning. And, in going above and beyond in my niceness, I have not once today called him an "old man" ( I do have his number under that on my cellphone though )
What I love about my dad is that he is so unpredictable, he is always smiling and ready to joke with you when you need it ( and occasionally when you don't ) He can also be stern when called for. I must admit I haven't been the nicest little girl to him today, and I'm not likely to pull my self from the computer and bake him a cake, either. But still, I thought a nice blog post was the least I can do.

TESLA

Ok, CHECK THIS OUT!!!!! I know that this probably isn't the best time to be drooling over shiny expensive sport cars, but hey, ya gotta dream big. THIS is the oh-so-cool electronic car, the TESLA. ( applause ) Pretty cool eh? ( just don't say anything about it to Herbie )

Babysitting

Well here I am, watching Mom pull out the driveway. Esther is mournfully watching her leave and at the same time yelling " say bye hubie!" ( say bye to Herbie ) and whining to herself. Naomi is eating a carrot in her highchair and putting it down every minuet or so to say " aaaaaawwwwwwwooooooooooooaaaaaa! " Mom just called on the cellphone with even more advice and Isabel is running around the house imitating a rooster. Ruby is on the computer. And so begins my day of babysitting.
P.S. If this is the last blog post you read, the kids killed me.

Expectations

Well it's safe to say that this week is just full of expectations. As of course you know tomorrow is election day ( AHH!! ) but I couldn't care less about that. The more important issue is the PB blaster I put in Herbie's engine, which will hopefully be running tomorrow. Then Tuesday I have a longer - term babysitting appointment ( just my sisters ) Then next week I have ( drum roll please) MY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY!!!!!! yay! but today, I'm bored out of my wits. : )
