Chickens

I am now officially off from school so I can sleep in and catch up on my orders. I was behind because I don't have time during a school day. I now have a clean slate and am ready for more orders to come. It is nice because for the first time in three months I can actually sleep in every day and not worry about having to get up at 5am the next day. During these first few days off I have done a few things. My aunt who just bought a house had a house warming party. It was fun and lasted a lot longer than I thought. We went over at 6:00 and before I knew it I looked at the clock and it was 11:00. It was fun, and there were snacks then they ordered food for dinner. There was a deli down the street so they ordered chicken from there. That is not why the title is chickens, just to clear that up. I of course did not have that, I had a rice dish that was made by my neighbor across the street that came to the party.
I also started to decorate the outside of the house. I decorated my room and did probably about 20% of the decorating on the inside of the house. My mom finished the rest of the inside. I started to decorate the outside yesterday, but I only got about half way done before it got dark and I had to stop. I plan to finish the rest of it today.
The last pictures of my room that I put on are now out of date because I bought something new for my room. My mom hates them, but they were on sale and I thought they were just hilarious. I bought light up chickens. Not just one but three. There is an adult rooster and two baby chicks. I put a picture of them below. They match my room because they light up like the parrot in the corner by my bed, so They match pretty good. I like them a lot and am very happy with my purchase.

Christmas 2009

The third post in my chain of catch up posts is about Christmas. A little before Christmas this year on the weekend of the 20th some of my family came up from Virginia and we exchanged gifts and had a good time. Then the following Wednesday was my last day of school and I was off until January 4th so my Christmas was stretched out which I enjoyed because I got to have a lot of fun. For Christmas I really only asked for a couple off things and I got all of them which I was very happy about. I wanted a case for the gems I have, the Blue Planet tv series, a board game called Risk, an electric bass guitar, and a phone. Mostly though I just asked for money that I could deposit in my savings because I am saving for something pretty big. I was very lucky to get all of the presents I asked for along with a few other things too. The big goal I am saving for is an old car. Not a restored one just one that preferably runs, but can have other issues like body work or interior problems. I have been reading a ton of articles and books on how to fix different parts of the car so that I can work on the car if I get it. I have liked old cars all my life and I have always wanted one just never though of actually working towards it. Once I reach my savings goal I will start looking in the classified ads for something that fits the requirements that I have set. I am very excited about the idea of having an old car to work on.

Christmas 2008!

My Christmas was great. I got up and I had a lot of presents to open. My sister came over and I stayed up late the night before so she had to wake me up. I got some coin cases and tubes. I also got an I-Fish which is a robot fish that you plug into your mp3 and it will play the music while it dances and spins and make lights shows from the lights on its head and tail. I like all the stuff I got but there is one thing that stands out it is the Palm Pilot I got. I installed all the stuff in it and now everything is up and running. It is awesome. It can do so much. There is a picture of me when I got it. The other pictures are of my tree and outside because I though it looked pretty. That was a couple of days before Christmas though. On Christmas it was really weird because the temperature went way up to 68 degrees. When I went outside on Christmas it just didn't seem right. I got all kinds of cool stuff for Christmas. I also got $135 in coin store gift cards so tomorrow I am going to get a whole bunch of new coins. I had to move my collection downstairs into two cabinets because the chest that I had it in got to small. I will put what I get at the coin store in my next post.

Family

Over the weekend my brother and sister from Virginia came up and spent the weekend with us. It was really fun. We went to see a light show. That was really cool. There were so many lights and I can't even imagine the amount of electricity that it took to power it. Then we went to the mall and there was a stand for the original Nintendo. It was cool. It cost $80 and that includes 111 games. Plus if you want a new game then all you do is take it back to the stand and they will put whatever game on it that you want for 87 cents a game. Also I got some presents already. I like all of them but there is one that stands out. I got a Palm Pilot. It does everything that a computer does and it has satellite GPS. It even has Microsoft word and excel and everything. Also I can access the Internet anywhere I want. I love it I think it is so cool. I have been busy so I will get pictures up on the next post.

Happy Holidays!

It's the holiday season and I am getting excited. My house and tree are decorated and I am working on my room right now then I will put lights outside. I celebrate Christmas. I don't have the pictures yet but I will put them in my next post. Over this weekend my sister and brother are coming up from Virginia. I am excited because I don't get to see them very often.
