Genogirl Grows On

Emily, I will miss you!

2010-02-03T06:25:00.003-07:00

My babysitter Emily is going to Tibet for some number of months to teach English to orphan girls at this place where they live and learn run by someone that started this for them. She will be going to Tibet on February 16th and before then, we are going out to lunch with her on the 7th before she takes India to Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 and we go to see Sweeney Todd. It should be fun, but as I said earlier in the title, Emily, I will miss you!!!!!!!!

Sweeney Todd

2010-02-03T06:22:00.004-07:00

My mom, my dad, Hannah and I are going to go see Sweeney Todd at the Fine Arts Center on the 7th, the day after my birthday. It is supposed to be really violent and bloody and stuff so India is not going. She is going to with my babysitter Emily (look at later posts for one entitled "Emily, I will miss you!" to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Squeakwel. I will tell you how the play is and I will give you another update on how AATC2 is as well.

My Birthday In.......

2010-02-03T06:22:00.001-07:00

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN..........................................3 DAYS!!!!

Hannah's coming!

2010-02-03T06:20:00.001-07:00

Hannah's coming to Colorado!

I am really excited!

She is coming on Friday, the day before my birthday (3 days!) and she is staying until I am pretty positive Sunday.

I am so excited!! I will tell you how it goes!

(Of course it will go well, but whatever!)

Sorry

2010-02-03T06:19:00.003-07:00

Sorry. School, life, I have been busy.

Dance twice a week, Hebrew school, stuff in the mornings, it's been hectic.

So I will continue to try to write daily or no less than weekly.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

And Good Morning America!!

7 pounds

2010-01-16T10:38:00.002-07:00

Right now, I am watching 7 pounds with my dad. I watched it last night with my mom.

I think it is pretty good, it is touching, well, sort of not really, but a little bit.

I don't recommend this movie for children probably under the age of maybe say 10?

It is rated PG-13. My mom doesn't like it, but I did.

It is with Will Smith and Will Smith is a great actor as I think we all know.

One of the best movies I think is Pursuit of Happyness also starring Will Smith and his son Jayden. Amazing movie. Better than any movie I have every seen, I think.

Breckenridge

2010-01-16T09:28:00.002-07:00

Going up to Breckenridge today. Dad got back from trip last night.

I saw him. Mom and I watched the movie 7 Pounds and then we both read and then we heard the garage. It was awesome to see him. I missed him a lot. Of course, I am saying all these nice things about him, but I am pretty positive that he will never read it.............................

India is at a sleepover with her friend Sydney. She will probably be back soon. Lunch or something. We will be communicating with Sydney's mom soon.

Speaking of moms, I have no idea where mine is!! I woke up and she wasn't here

But Dad is here. Maybe we can go to Starbucks, just him and me, together. That would be really fun! Anyway. I hope that you have an awesome 3 day weekend!!!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Birthday In.......

2010-01-16T09:27:00.000-07:00

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 21 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-01-12T19:50:00.000-07:00

Jazz Dance

2010-01-12T19:49:00.000-07:00

I went to a Jazz class at Colorado Academy of Music and Dance where I take hip hop.

I liked it and I am going to go back.

It is based on ballet, so we have 1st position, 2nd position..........

I like it and I like the teacher. The other girls in the class are really flexible and they know like every step but I am still going to go and try my best. I don't know if the girls are nice because they don't talk, but I will try to make friends......

The Poll

2010-01-07T18:11:00.003-07:00

I put out a poll asking if you guys were going to watch the ball drop on New Year's and we got a bigger response than last time. 4 people voted and they all voted for Yes.

The ball dropping was great.

HAPPY LATE NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new poll will be up soon.

Have any ideas? Comment. I am running out of ideas!!! I need some help!

My Birthday In.......

2010-01-07T18:10:00.000-07:00

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Day Back

2010-01-07T18:08:00.003-07:00

The first day back to school was great. Yes, we actually had to do real work, but it wasn't too hard, even though Science was, but it was a pretty good way to get back into the school year. I also got some really cute clothes for Hanukkah and we went to the Gap and Delia's and got the cutes stuff and I wore some of it to school today, and I loved how I look. Even though most people don't care, but I did and I loved the result.

Hope your days back to work and school are as great or even better than mine!

Results on Meeting with Robert

2010-01-07T18:05:00.002-07:00

The meeting with Robert went great. We shared our ideas and we got great results. We have sorta created a "mega plan" where we have mini things that go into it like a recycling skit, t-shirts and sweatshirts, bumper stickers, pins, stuff like that and other stuff like creating mini "Green Teams" and stuff like that. I will tell you if our "mega plan" gets put into action.

I know I didn't describe it very well but it is really cool and I really hope it works out.

This is also going to be my Bat Mitzvah Project and it is going so well so far!!

Gotta Go!

2010-01-06T09:42:00.000-07:00

Gotta go or I will be late for the meeting with Robert!

I will tell you how the meeting goes later. Over and out!

The Princess Bride

2010-01-06T09:41:00.003-07:00

Yesterday night, my sister and I watched The Princess Bride which we got from my uncle (Thanks, Uncle Chuck!) which was a pretty good movie. It was a little gross, funny, nice, exciting, adventurous, it was just a great movie to watch. If you haven't seen it, please do see it. It is a movie worth seeing and having around.

Meeting with Robert

2010-01-06T09:38:00.001-07:00

Hey guys! Hope you had an awesome break. Sorry I haven't been writing as much. I was spending time with family. So what did you do for the holiday? Tell me in the comments. I'd love to hear.

Anyway, to the subject of this post. Today, I am meeting with Robert, a boy that I met when presenting at a Sustainability meeting for the district. We are meeting today at the library to collaborate and discuss our ideas. I hope it will trigger a great start to getting recycling and other 'green' elements to schools in D20. After I meet with him, I will tell you how it went!

Cookies

2009-12-29T18:37:00.001-07:00

Mom is making cookies right now.

I was going to help, but instead I am writing on my blog for all of my wonderful readers.

Hopefully they are ready soon. I could go for some homemade cookies!!!!!!

Connecticut

2009-12-29T18:26:00.002-07:00

Right now, I am in Connecticut. Visiting my aunt and my aunt's son and my great grandma.

It was AWESOME seeing Meema. So sweet and nice. Her retirement home is really nice too.

THEY HAVE AN ICE CREAM PARLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

We are staying at Aunt Gila's in New Haven. It is a rockin' house. Love it!

Today, Aunt Gila's youngest son Gabriel came.

It is great to see him. Unfortunately, his wife Beth (so amazingly fabulous and nice and pretty) couldn't come. Hopefully, we will see her sometime soon. It was great to see Gabe. Haven't seen him in so long, since Emily and Dave's wedding. Haven't seen David in a while either. Maybe I will meet Elsbeth, his girlfriend sometime soon. That would be cool! Great things have been said about Elsbeth and she makes David happy which is great!

Tomorrow, supposedly Sadie and Dahlia are coming with Saba and Omi.

Hopefully that is not a fib, because it would be amazingly awesome to see them!

Hope all is well with everyone out there that reads my awesome blog.

Please please please comment so I know there are people out there that actually read my blog.

Please COMMENT SO I KNOW YOU READ MY BLOG! Please Follow as well!

Thanks. Love to everyone and a happy new year!

*I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Being a Vegetarian.......

2009-12-23T20:16:00.002-07:00

OK, I like the thought of being a vegetarian, but it is really not going to work out.

Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone, but it is not going to happen.

For one, I need protein and taking away meat isn't a good thing especially when taking these Genotropin shots. Also, I really like steak and beef and hamburgers and chicken and it really would be hard for me to take those away from my diet so I am not a vegetarian anymore.

Thursday

2009-12-23T20:04:00.002-07:00

Thursday. December 24th. The day before Christmas day. Let's summarize it: hectic.

Last minute shopping, food for the feast, picking up hand painted ornaments.

It is always something. Christians hurrying about getting ready for the biggest holiday of the year. Yep, that is December 24th for you.

For my family, it is preparing for our vacation trip.

Going to the supermarket for plane snacks, packing, and getting together fun stuff for the plane.

That is what I am doing tomorrow.

No rushing, no scurrying, no hurrying for the big event. None of that.

Of course, non other than a Jewish girl writes this. But it is the facts. The facts and nothing else.

The truth and sometimes the truth is painful but you just have to deal with it.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-12-23T08:38:00.000-07:00

I AM GOING TO BOSTON ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VACATION!!!!!

My Arm

2009-12-23T08:36:00.001-07:00

You remember how I broke 2 bones in my left arm this year?
Well, my arm is starting to hurt, but of course we are up in Breck and it went from sunny to snowy. My mom and dad say not to wory, but I just wanted to tell you guys!

Translation

2009-12-22T11:51:00.001-07:00

I am really excited for the trip. Boston, Conneticut, New Jersey, and New York!!

Finally; Vacation!!!!!!!!

Wii Fit!

2009-12-21T09:24:00.000-07:00

For Hanukkah, my sister and I got Wii Fit. We have a Wii up in Breck where we are now and we set it up last night. It is really fun! There are tons of games. The only flaw is there are barely any multiplayer games. Whatever! You stay active by having fun!!!!!!!!

Breck

2009-12-21T09:23:00.000-07:00

Right now, we are up in Breck.
It is sunny now. Looks nice out......

My family is going on vacation on December 25th which is Friday.
I am really excited to see all my relatives and go to places I have never been or don't remember!
Hope your holiday season is warm, cozy, and shared with family and friends as mine is.
Spread the love! Give.

2009-12-21T09:20:00.001-07:00

Remember, 'Tis the season to give!!
Don't be selfish with Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.
Give the gift of love to people that you care about.
Happy Holidays to all!

Vegetarian

2009-12-13T18:53:00.001-07:00

I think I am going to try to become a vegetarian, but I want to wait until the 20th when the poll ends, so I can hear what my readers have to say.

Also, the person that voted no was my mom because she doesn't think that I can do it, because I don't like lots of vegetables. Well, Mom, Yes I can!

The new poll is up!

2009-12-13T16:29:00.001-07:00

The new poll is up.

Vote for if I should try out becoming a vegetarian!

Poll Results for What Holiday You Celebrate Around This Time of Year

2009-12-13T16:25:00.002-07:00

The poll results are in.

Even though the poll has like 16 or whatever days left, I am going to just close it now. No one votes on it. 2 people voted and they both voted for celebrating Hanukkah.

The new poll will be up soon. This is the new poll:

Should I try out being a vegetarian?

Please vote

Maybe.......

2009-12-13T16:23:00.000-07:00

I might want to try becoming a vegetarian.

I know it might be hard, especially because I love chicken and beef, and I don't really like tofu, but I am going to maybe try it.

What do you think?

I think I am going to try it, but I am still in the works of deciding.

I need your guy's help.

Should I try being a vegetarian?

D20 Meeting Results

2009-12-11T06:56:00.002-07:00

Drumroll please!!!

The D20 meeting went really well. After my presentation, I answered 1 question and then we stayed for about 2/5 or 3/5 of the next presenter's slideshow and then we left. There is this boy named Robert who is trying to do the same for another middle school in the district and we have been emailing and we will meet to share our ideas after the new year.

My Science teacher Ms. Smith was also at the meeting and she said that she is interested in this as well and will be able to help and she is talking to Mr. Hain, the 7th grade principal who invited me to the Sustainability Committee meeting which got me to the D20 meeting which got me to contacting Robert.

I am off to a great start and we blog about what you can do to help.
After the new year, I will update how it is going with the Recycling!

Please Reycle!

School

2009-12-09T07:40:00.001-07:00

I am going to get ready for school now.

I still have a while, but I can't think of anything else to write about.

I will write about what happened at the meeting tonight later or tomorrow.

Over and out for now!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2009-12-09T07:38:00.001-07:00

Last night, India and I made Chocolate Chip Cookie batter for India's class.

We made cookies because she is having a Winter Party right before break.

I saw the cookies, how they turned out last night, and they look SO SO SO SO GOOD!!!!!!!

I really want one, but India insists that we can't eat them.

I mean, India, other people will being in cookies!!

I REALLY WANT A COOKIE!

Movie Suggestions

2009-12-09T07:29:00.003-07:00

If you have any movies that you really love and feel you want to share, please comment or email me. I would love to watch them. Here are some movie suggestions of my own. They are not all the best and not all really for kids, but they are still pretty good movies. The ones that I really like have a squiggly line by the words. Here are my suggestions:

Miss Congeniality ~~~~~

Up ~~~~~

Akeelah and the Bee ~~~~~

Julie & Julia

The Proposal

Definitely Maybe ~~~~~~

Monsters vs. Aliens

Mamma Mia ~~~~~~~~

Harry Potter movies

There are TONS more but I am blanking on a lot of them right now.

If you have any movie suggestions, go ahead and comment or email me.

I would love to hear them. Thanks!

Movie Review

2009-12-09T07:23:00.002-07:00

So as I told you I was going to watch 2 movies.

The first one was The Proposal and that was a pretty good movie.

It was a little slow at times and you could kind of predict what the ending was, but it was still an amazing movie. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are both so funny and they really get into the part. It is a pretty good movie.

The second movie I watched was Julie & Julia. That was a pretty good movie as well.

I didn't really like the ending, but overall it was a good movie. Meryl Streep and Amy Adams both do a wonderful job. They are both amazing actresses and they work really well together, even though they are not together in one scene! Overall, it was a pretty good movie as well.

Both not exactly for children but pretty good movies.

Julie & Julia switches back and forth between 2 time periods and then it starts to get a little confusing at times. But a good movie.

Today

2009-12-09T07:20:00.002-07:00

Today there is a 2 hour delay. That means I have to walk to the bus at 9:15, but I probably won't because I have to be at school at 9:00 for the Academic Challenge Team. It usually meets on Wednesdays at 7:00, but since there is a 2 hour delay I am figuring that it will start at 9:00. Hopefully I am right!

Tonight, at 5:00 there is the district meeting thing that I am going to to present my slideshow presentation on Recycling. I will tell you how that goes. After the meeting, we are getting something to eat, and then going to guitar and dance at Colorado Academy of Music and Dance.

Pretty busy day today, huh?

More later....

Movies

2009-12-08T11:51:00.003-07:00

We went to Safeway because we went to yoga and decided to go to the super market and we got 2 red box movies. One of The Proposal with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock and the other one is Julie & Julia with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. I will give a review after I watch both of them.

Also, has anyone seen Knowing with Nicholas Cage?

If you have, tell me what you think of it because I want to see it.

Thanks!

There are 3 levels, the first one is like a bar, not a very pretty level.

The second level is Billiards.

The third level is sort of a wrap around area where you can hold events and that is where we are going to have it. It is really pretty. I am excited!

Breck

2009-11-29T07:41:00.002-07:00

So, my uncle came in from California on Monday. Uncle Chuck!

Then we went up to Breckenridge Wednesday and we are staying until today, Sunday.

It has been a great time.

We shopped, walked around, went to the rec center, stuff like that. It was all fun.

My Thanksgiving was great. Some family friends came up with us so in total there were 9 people, me, my sister, my dad, my mom, my uncle and then the other family, the Smiths.

Our turkey, 2 types of stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, green beans and pumpkin pie were great! You can't forget the Sparkling Apple Cider!!!!! YUM!!

Friday was Black Friday as people refer to it as and I went shopping at about 9:00 A.M with my mom and my sister. We went first to Goods, a really really awesome trendy clothing store, but it also has shoes, home stuff ( candles, stuff to hang from your ceiling, etc.) cards, little do dads, really cute bags, hats, just stuff like that. It is an awesome store.

Anyway, a lot of there stuff is expensive, so we headed over there and me and India ended up getting really cute hats that will count toward our Hannukah presents, but we would get them now. Mine is a Koala and it has big white puff balls on either side and then it has like the koala face and it is gray and the hat goes over your ears naturally so your ears are warm!!

I love it. i think it is so cute!!

If you are interested in buying one of these cute hats ( they come in many animals like dog, frog, pig, coyote, owl, stuff like that, India got an owl!!) you can go to this website:

knitwits.com and you can contact them at info@knitwits.com.

They are really cute and fuzzy and warm. They are made from wool and cotton and stuff.

I hope your Thanksgiving was amazing like mine!

I want to hear all about it. Feel free to tell me about your stories in the comments section!

Also, on Friday it was one of my best friend's birthday, so I just wanted to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember to Vote!!

2009-11-24T07:40:00.001-07:00

Remember to vote for your favorite kind of performance!!!

The poll ends in 3 days, November 27th!!!!!!!

Again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Uncle Chuck!!

2009-11-24T07:36:00.002-07:00

My Uncle Chuck arrived yesterday and my grandparents left yesterday.

I am very excited to see him and hang out and stuff!!!

I am either going up to Breckenridge, Colorado tonight or early tomorrow morning, so I want to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I just want to wish everyone an early Thanksgiving.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

Our Rooms

2009-11-15T19:24:00.001-07:00

My sister and I decided to put our rooms together, so my sister and I know sleep in the same room. We moved my bed into her room and her bookshelf into my room, so one room is like a "lounge" and one is the bedroom. It is cool and me and India both like it.

Can't wait for you guys to see it!

Just Stuff...

2009-11-15T18:34:00.003-07:00

Hey everyone!

As you know, there wasn't any Sunday School today, but Mom's Yoga Teacher Training was still on. It was snowing sort of hard throughout the day and a lot last night, but not much this evening. Hopefully nothing more than a 2 hour delay because tomorrow I am meeting with Mr. Hane, the 7th grade principal with my LA teacher, Mr. Markham to discuss the recycling project. Also, tomorrow is the play A Mid Summer Night's Dream and I hope we have school because we saw a little bit of it in school and it was very good and funny.

The holidays are approaching fast!

I am very excited for Thanksgiving!!!

My Uncle Chuck is coming to town for Thanksgiving.

I haven't seen him in a while, since last Thanksgiving I think and I am excited to see him.

Also, my grandparents are coming on Thursday for Grandparent's Day at India's school.

Every year, the 3rd graders perform for Grandparent's Day which is were your grandparent can come to school with you and there is a show, and then you can show them around the school and stuff. My grandparents always try to come to it, but this year especially because India will be performing in a play.

I also have a birthday party sleepover with one of my friends from Sunday School.

There will probably be a lot of people I don't know but as long as I have fun!

It is Saturday at like 7:30 to 4:30 on Sunday.

It is a pretty late party.

I think I will stay for the whole thing, but maybe maybe leave early so I can spend time with my grandparents, but they mostly came for India anyway, so it will be quality time with India. Anyway, we will be seeing them in about a month after they leave for Hannukah, so it is not like it will be a while until we see them again, right?

A new poll will be up soon, but what should it be about???????

6th grade service

2009-11-13T21:14:00.002-07:00

Tomorrow morning, there is to be a Saturday morning service, like all Saturdays but it will be led by the 6th grade class. I will be going. It starts at 9:30 and then there is lunch after wards.

It will be ok. Extra practice for my Bat Mitzvah.
Not all people in my class care about learning Hebrew and practicing the prayers for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah an that makes me a little sad. Why not??

Anyway, I will tell you how the service goes.....

A Mid Summer Night's Dream

2009-11-13T21:11:00.001-07:00

At our school, the 8th grade is putting on a production of A Mid Summer Night's Dream. My mom, my sister and I are going to it Monday night. I am excited to see the play.

We watched a little under half of the play or something in school and it was really good.
Probably just extra practice for them.

It is not the whole 8th grade though.
You have to try out and if you get in, it becomes one of your exploratories, which are like electives like art, band, drama, choir, woodshop, gym, foreign language, etc.

I am excited to see it.
I will tell you how the play goes!

Bat Mitzvah Project

2009-11-13T21:08:00.002-07:00

OK, so I talked to Mr. Markham, my LA teacher and he said that he got a response from Mr. Smith, our main principal and he said that Mr. Hane would be the one to talk to who is the 7th grade principal. Mr. Markham and I are meeting up with him during lunch on Monday.

I am excited to discuss my ideas and interests.
Today, I took home a huge bag of cans and bottles and stuff to recycle.
On my own, with the help of my friends to collect.
It was hard to jam it all into my stupid half locker.

Holiday Break Plans

2009-11-10T15:34:00.002-07:00

GUESS WHAT I AM DOING FOR HOLIDAY BREAK????

I get to go to Boston, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut with my sister, my mom, and then my dad is meeting up with us there. ISNT THAT SO EXCITING!!!

I am really excited, because I have never been to Boston, or not that I remember of it, and we get to see lots of family, and friends. We are going to be mostly taking trains to go from Boston to Connecticut and Connecticut to New Jersey, etc.

I am so excited. The trip will be very fun!!!!

What are YOU doing for the holidays?

I would love to hear. Comment or email!

Bat Mitzvah Project

2009-11-10T15:26:00.002-07:00

Yesterday, I met with my Language Arts teacher to discuss what I could do for my independent project for school ( my goal in TAG) which could tie in with my Bat Mitzvah Project.

So far, my LA teacher and I have come up with getting recycling bins for the cafeteria.

My LA teacher, Mr. Markham sent an email to our principal, Mr. Smith and we are trying to set up a date to talk to him during lunch or after school.

If that got approved, we could move on to such like school sporting events, and other things like that, and maybe expand to getting sweatshirts and shirts and shorts for our school ( which we already have) but we could maybe make some of them green and out of 100% recycled material, and then maybe if we wanted to go that far ( this would take maybe a few years, but..) we could expand recycling to all D20 schools ( our school district) and that could turn into my Bat Mitzvah.

I want to know what you think.

If you don't even know me as in family or friend, or you don't even know what a Bat Mitzvah is, this doesn't concern you. :)

Hebrew School

Eloise

2009-11-10T15:21:00.002-07:00

My cat, Eloise got into the vent a few days ago.

One of our cats, Daphne can open up the vent with her paw, and Eloise slid down the vent and was in the vent for a long time, or a pretty long time, not sure how long in particular. My dad ended up getting here out by getting her out of a vent in a basement with a screwdriver standing on a chair. Oh Eloise. Now we put weights on some of the vents to at least prevent some of the vents from opening, but hopefully it won't happen again!

Missoula Children's Theater, God Family

2009-11-07T07:46:00.002-07:00

Every year, Rockrimmon Elementary, which was where I used to go and where my sister does go, the PTO hires Missoula Children's Theater to come. Missoula Children's Theater sends 2 people, a couple of people, that travel around the country going to different schools putting on the same play for 1 whole year. So far, there has been Snow White, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel. This year it is Pinnochio. India is in the play and she is a Pleasure Isle Kid. Her line is "Oh Yeah" which brings back memories of when I was the 7th dwarf in Snow White. I was Tamborine. I carried around a tamborine and I got to say "Oh Yeah" every time I spoke except for one time that I said "Oh No". It was a fun play. Every year, there is a different couple of people that come to schools for 1 week each. They have tryouts for the play on Monday, and rehersals all that week, and they have the final performances on Friday night and Saturday morning. Pinnochio had it's first final performance last night. It was really good and some parts of it were SO FUNNY! The 2nd and final of the real performances is today at 11:00. I am excited to see it again, but it won't be as funny because yesterday one of my best friends, Kelsey went and we laugh together SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!! But I am still excited to see the play again. After the play, we get to go to Squeak Soda Shop, which is a shop where you can get ice cream, and candy, and soda, and there is also real food like popcorn, pretzels, sandwiches, cotton candy, stuff like that. One of my favorite parts is the paintings on the wall. They are absolutely amazing! One of my other favorite parts is the soda. They have a few steps to having your soda. It is not just like " Oh look, here is a Coca-Cola in this big class container at the checkout, I will have this, 1 soda and a cotton candy please." It is not like that. First, you go over to the Smelling station. They have little test tubes that are on racks and the test tubes are labeled with their flavor and you get to decide on your flavor based on the smell. It is cool. Then you go over to the counter where the guy is standing and you tell him your flavor. Then he asks you if you want it to be with Splenda or real sugar and then you get to pick a size and you also get to pick a color, like light blue, dark orange, pink, in the middle purple. It is a very cool place. They also have a Wii and lots of board games including Monopoly, Scrabble, an assortment of Cranium games, BattleShip, stuff like that. It is a rockin' place. I have been there 3 times and I am going there again today in honor of India's play and also because if you are in the play and you go to Squeak on one of the performance days, you get a coupon.

Also, my god family from Durango are coming today because their dad has a conference in Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor. I am very jealous because the Broadmoor is the fanciest and the coolest and the prettiest hotel in Colorado Springs, but I guess I am not too jealous, because it is just a hotel, and also because we are meeting up there with them to go swimming and get takout from a restaurant, not a restaurant at the Broadmoor. I am excited to go swimming. It will be the 2nd time since I broke my arm. I don't want to forget my goggles!

World Series 2009 Game 6

2009-11-05T16:58:00.002-07:00

Well, you probably heard already but yesterday night was Game 6 of the World Series.

I watched it after I got home from dance, and the Yankees won.

I am happy for the Yankees, but I was counting on the Phillies.

I still absolutely love the Phillies though and I always will! Go Phillies!!!!

The score was 7-3 Yankees.

Lots of people in my grade at school were rubbing it in my face at school because they knew that I really wanted the Phillies to win. Too bad they didn't win, but I am now over it.

Hopefully, they have another great year and they make it to the World Series again, but we can only hope. Anyway, it is not like it is the center of my life. I have much better things on my mind and in front of me, but when the time comes around, why not get involved?

Retirement Home

2009-11-05T16:55:00.002-07:00

Today, the 6th grade Choir took a fieldtrip to Viewpointe Retirement Home, which is 2 miles from our school. We went to sing to them there. It was very heart touching and it made me want to cry because I was happy when I saw them clapping their hands and singing along.

It was fun and I am very glad we went there!

It was enjoyable to sing to them and see their faces light up when we sang the songs.

I also felt sad too, because my choir teacher said that most of the people at the retirement home don't get many visitors, and that made me sad. I am glad we went.

After we were done singing, we shook their hands and lots of them said that they wanted us to come back and sing christmas carols for the holiday. I loved that they said that, but you could tell that they didn't get many visitors.

Mixed emotions. Sad, happy, heartwarming, joyful.....

World Series 2009 Game 5

2009-11-03T07:03:00.001-07:00

The final score was 8-6 Phillies.

If the Yankees win 1 more time, they win the World Series, but if the Phillies win, they tie it up!!! I AM SO EXCITED! GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!

FINISHED Snow Cone Story!!!

2009-11-01T20:13:00.001-07:00

Here is my full FINISHED Snow Cone Story. Enjoy:

Nelda vs. Carmen

Natasha Clarke

All right, so you have all heard of The Wizard Of Oz, right? You all know Dorothy and the tin man, but do you know the other side of the story? I don’t mean the evil version but I do mean where Snow Cones vanish forever, Dorothy lends her ruby red slippers and The Wicked Witch Of The West’s 2^nd cousin 34 times removed on her step aunt’s side of the family melts. Does it sound familiar? Well, it all started with Nelda Rodriguez and Carmen in the south part of the Land of Oz. Carmen is a girl who loves Snow Cones. She absolutely loves Snow Cones and she gets them every day down at the Snow Cone Palace, a Snow Cone vendor in Hodgkin’s Alley, the official vendor’s street. One particularly warm afternoon, Carmen was skipping along with her pet unicorn Angelina when Nelda happened to be looking out the window of her very nice apartment. I can say so myself because I have been over for tea and biscuits. However, Nelda was watching Carmen eat her Snow Cone when she realized that Snow Cones make little children too happy so she decided to take them away forever. She was planning on ruling the world someday, and without the nasty brats around she would finally be able to make her dreams come true! But how?? Meanwhile, Carmen was enjoying her Snow Cone when she decided that her life was going just as planned. Snow Cones were as great as ever and her unicorn was healthy. Everything was perfect, or so she thought.

Later after Nelda had decided she was going to take away Snow Cones, she started to build a shrink ray. That way she could shrink all the Snow Cone vendors and keep them in a box in her closet with 4 locks. Her plan was coming along well. She was working extra fast for she was going to shrink all the Snow Cone vendors at night so people would wake up to misery and sorrow. She loved watching other people suffer. She was very evil. That following night she put her plan into action. The following morning, all the citizens of her crummy town would wake up to nothing but sadness. The next morning, as the sun was coming up over the horizon, Nelda reminded herself that this perfect day would go to waste in the hands of many of her fellow citizens and she felt 10 times happier, while Carmen decides that it is a perfect day to get a Snow Cone!

Walking down to the Snow Cone Palace with Angelina, Carmen was debating what flavor she would get, but she would soon learn that she wouldn’t need to, and soon it was. If you were there that day, you wouldn’t have missed the racquet. She got so heartbroken that she couldn’t get her beloved Snow Cone. But it was doing so well when she had saw it last! It couldn’t have gone out of business. She had to think things through, so she decided to take a jog. That jog turned into a walk and that walk lead her right to her best friend Dorothy’s house on the other side of Oz. Here is a fun fact for you: Over the course of the year after Dorothy had returned from the Land Of Oz, she decided that she wanted to be closer to all her friends and especially Carmen, so she moved back, and she loves it! Any who, Carmen hadn’t seen Dorothy in ages and was glad to see her. After they had caught up on news and such, Carmen started to tell Dorothy about the Snow Cone fiasco. Everyone knows Dorothy’s magical shoes, right? Well, as you know, back in the day, when Dorothy wanted to go home from the Land of Oz, her ruby red slippers helped her get back to Kansas, so Dorothy (who was a very smart girl, went to Stanford you know) had the best idea to lend Carmen her ruby red slippers to get Snow Cones back! So Carmen thanked her friend and headed back to the other side of the Land of Oz.

Carmen was making her way back home just as it started to rain. Oh perfect, this day is great! The only good thing was seeing Dorothy and getting the slippers. The slippers! She had already forgotten them! All right, how do you do this again? Click your heels together and make a wish. That’s it! She said to herself “I want Snow Cones, I want Snow Cones, I want Snow Cones!’ After Carmen finished her wish, she ran all the way home ignoring the rain the whole way. When she got back to the southern part of The Land Of Oz, she ran right to the corner of Hodgkin’s Alley and Broadway to where she left her unicorn tied to a street lamp. She felt so relieved that she had her unicorn and she had made her wish that she skipped all the way home and went to bed early. At 8:24 the next morning, she went as fast as her little legs could carry her all the way to Hodgkin’s Alley to the Snow Cone Palace which was there! She was relieved and very ecstatic. She went over to the Snow Cone Palace where Rosalind, the annoying owner of the vendor was, but she was so happy and overjoyed to have Snow Cones back, she hugged Rosalind for 3 whole minutes. Rosalind of course didn’t know what was going on, because she had been in a box in a closet. When she finished squeezing the guts out of Rosalind, Carmen asked what happened. Rosalind was very confused and tired, and claimed to have a headache, but still confessed to have been shrunken into a box and put into some evil person’s closet above Hodgkin’s Alley. Because Carmen loved Snow Cones and because she was very dedicated to them, she decided to investigate who took the Snow Cones. From the description Rosalind told her, she automatically knew that it was Nelda Rodriguez. Everyone knew Nelda was an evil person and everyone knew that she lived above Hodgkin’s Alley in 6437, so Carmen slowly made her way to Apartment # 6437. She went slowly because now that Snow Cones were back, who cared about going fast? After about 5 minutes, she arrived at Nelda’s apartment. She rang the doorbell and no one answered so she pushed the door open and walked in. Right away she noticed a big pile on the floor. Now, everyone also knew that Nelda was a very neat and orderly person, so this wasn’t like her so she knew something wasn’t right. Carmen very nervously made her way to the heap of clothes to investigate the pile. She realized that they were only clothes. Now Carmen knew her fairytales and movies, and she also knew that Nelda was related to a movie star, an evil movie star she realized. Now Carmen also knew that her best friend was an actress as well, so piecing things together Carmen realized that Dorothy worked with the Wicked Witch of the West’s 2^nd cousin 34 times removed on her step aunt’s side of the family. So everyone knows how the Wicked Witch of the West died right? In the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West melted and Nelda melted too! She now got it! Wow, this has been a lot for one day! She decided that she would take Angelina home and think things over, but first she had to make a few calls. First, she called the Police Department to investigate the scene of Nelda. She also called Dorothy to inform her of what happened, and to invite her over to her house for tea and biscuits to celebrate getting Snow Cones back but also to celebrate the ending of Nelda Rodriguez. Now usually Carmen and Dorothy didn’t like celebrating the death of other people, but this was an exception. Carmen also called the TV network so they could report that the Wicked Witch of the West’s last living relative died. Now the Rodriguez family was gone forever. Here is another fun fact for you: the Wicked Witch of the West’s real name is Eugnacia Mergatroid Rodriguez. Most people don’t know that either. Nelda and I were friends when she was alive and solid and she had told me what the Wicked Witch of the West’s real name was when we had tea and biscuits together weekly. The Wicked Witch of the West didn’t like her name because she didn’t want to be disrespected for having such an out of the circle name. She felt ashamed, so she shortened it to Elphaba and then somehow went from Eugnacia Mergartroid Rodriguez to Elphaba to the Wicked Witch of the West. Weird, right?

32 years later.

Yes, that is the story of how I defeated the Wicked Witch of the West’s 2^nd cousin 34 times removed on her step aunt’s side of the family. Yes, that is really me, Carmen Lopez Smith. I know, my husband Robert doesn’t believe it either after 24 years either. “Grandma C, when is Grandpa Bob going to get here?” chimed Carmen’s grandchildren Rhythm and Willow. Soon children soon. While we are waiting, why don’t we have some Snow Cones?

Tell me what you think!!

World Series 2009 Game 3, October 31,2009 Recap

2009-11-01T08:37:00.006-07:00

Last night, Halloween, was Game 3 of the World Series in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Cole Hamels, as you know was scheduled to pitch for the game against some Andy guy from the Yankees. They had a rain delay so they started 1 hour and 20 minutes after the scheduled starting time. I went trick-or-treating with my dad and my sister around I don't know 6:30 or something. Not many people were out. We saw more people when we got further down the street. It was nice weather. There was snow on Friday, but it melted throughout the day on Friday and maybe a little bit on Saturday and there were patches of snow here and there but it was nice and not icy or that cold either. It was also a pretty light night. Lighter than most nights recently which was good too. When we got back to the house from trick-or-treating, it was only the 3rd inning of the World Series game. I was very excited to see the game, but soon into the game, I think it was the 4th inning, Cole Hamels got booted and wasn't allowed to pitch for the rest of the game because he was doing badly. I got so so so mad. I love Cole Hamels, and the night he pitches in the World Series, and the first time I had seen him pitch since the World Series 2008, he gets booted and doesn't get to play. I was very mad and you could tell that he was too. Hopefully he gets over it just as I slowly am and I hope also that the Phillies win the World Series, unlike Game 3. The final score was 8-5 Yankees, but at first when I got back from trick-or-treating it was 3-0 Phillies. The Yankees stepped it up and won Game 3. Right now the game score is 2-1 Yankees but I know the Phillies will come around and win it all. I KNOW IT!

Here is a little clip I found on the internet of some interviews with people like Jimmy Rollins, shortstop for the Phillies and Charlie Manuel, the manager or the coach or something of the Phillies. Please enjoy. The URL is posted below.

Trunk Or Treating

2009-10-30T19:52:00.002-06:00

Tonight, we went to Trunk Or Treating at my sister's elementary school.
It is where families dress up the back of their cars and give candy out. It is done in the school parking lot but there is also pizza, dessert, drinks, and a DJ inside. It is a pretty cool night. It was fun, and I enjoyed it, and tomorrow is Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

I have seen 2 great movies recently. One in theaters and one on DVD.

The first one I saw was called Penelope and it is about this girl that hides herself from the world because she has a nose of a pig. It is hard to explain but there is a curse where if Penelope marries another Blue Blood ( she's a Blue Blood) then the curse would be broken and she would have a normal nose again. It is hard to describe but it is a really really great movie and it really makes you want to believe in yourself and it leaves you with the message of that it is not the beauty on the outside, it is what is inside that counts or always have hope or you are beautiful in your own special way.

It is rated PG for thematic elements, some innuendo and language.

It is a really fantastic movie!

Here is 2 trailers for the movie.

The URL below has 2 video clips on it.

I also so with my mom and my sister Where The Wild Things Are.

It was also an amazing movie but it was suprisingly very very sad.

I cried maybe once or twice, but my sister about half the movie.

It is hard to explain, but I love all the wild things from Judith to Ira to KW to Carol to Douglas. KW, which was one of the Wild Things had 2 owls named Bob and Terry and they were so cute and funny. It was a sad but funny, heart touching movie.

It is rated PG.

Here are some URLs for some trailers for Where The Wild Things Are.

They are both great movies, I recommend you to see both.

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma

2009-10-30T06:40:00.002-06:00

For anyone that is reading this book or wants to read it, I am not going to tell a summary of what I have read so far because I always give away a little too much or don't know how to word something, so I will just tell you that it is AMAZING so far. I love it!

If you are thinking of reading it, before you start thinking about it, make sure that you have read the first 2 first, because the 3rd one won't make sense if you haven't read the 2nd and the 2nd won't make sense if you don't read the first! Just a little bit confusing, right?!

Here is the order of the books-

The Mysterious Benedict Society- first

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey- second

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner;s Dilemma- third and one I am reading

All the books are by Trenton Lee Stewart, a very gifted and talented author.

You should read them!!! They are all AMAZING!!

World Series 2009 Game 2

2009-10-30T06:31:00.002-06:00

Yesterday night, Thursday night, was Game 2 of the World Series 2009. The Yankees won with the final score being 3-1. The next game will be on Saturday which happens to be Halloween. Today, Friday, is a traveling day. My dad told me that the teams have a traveling day to travel from one team's stadium to the other. The World Series was played at the Yankees stadium the first 2 games and now there are switching over to the Phillies. New York to Pennsylvania.

I am very sad. My favorite player is Cole Hamels. As you know, because I have told you, he is number 35, a left hand pitcher. Now if you watch baseball, you may know that pitchers don't get to play as often as some of the other players do like short stop or 3rd baseman or something, and Cole Hamels is FINLLY playing. I haven't seen him play since the last World Series, and he happens to be pitching on HALLOWEEN! Seriously, Halloween! Halloween is a time where I like to go out with my dad and my sister in costume and go around to all the houses in our neighborhood begging for candy, and now that Cole Hamels is pictching on that night, I will only get to see a little of the last 1 or 2 innings, but a little is better than nothing!

My Week

2009-10-30T06:27:00.002-06:00

This has been a crazy week.

My choir performance is on Tuesday, meaning we will have had 3 days to practice in the Wing Space, which is the auditorium. We started practicing in the Wing Space on Tuesday, so so far we have only gotten to practice 1 day on the stage we will perform on. I am not sure if our choir performance will be pushed back or postponed or something like that. When I find out, I will let you know.

This has been my week so far.

Monday- Normal

Tuesday- 2 Hour Delay

Wednesday- Closed

Thursday- Closed

Friday- 2 Hour Delay

It has been a weird week!
