black friday madness...or not?

my mom, sister, and i woke up at 3:30 this morning. SUPER tired. makes sense considering we went to sleep at 1 yesterday. anyways..we rushed to the mall at 4:30 expecting traffic and lots of people. we arrive at valley fair and what do we see? do we see hundreds of shopaholics lined up in front of macys, waiting to rush in and grab anything and everything in sight? nope. not even. what we see is a few sleepy people sitting on the curb. shows how bad the economy is. :)

didn't buy much...but i don't go shopping to buy. more for the fun of looking around and having fun with my family. too bad my dada isn't here. oh well. he wouldn't have gone anyways. its officially after thanksgiving which means....TIME TO PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS!!! oh joy. toodle doo^^

oh happy day...!

hola amigos. senors and senoritas...but mostly senoritas. here to entertain you is moi. i know, i know...SO EXCITING! my mom and i were at home eating our makeshift thanksgiving dinner---consisting of a few pieces of fried ham, fish,and ramen---when i realized....i loved my thanksgiving day. i know i complained TERRIBLY about my dad being gone and having no party...but i figure it doesn't matter. i mean it matters that my dad isn't here, but that's no excuse for me to be so selfish and complain about how i feel. selfish as in thinking only about myself and my feelings. today at dinner i realized that i have so much to be thankful (feeling thankful on thanksgiving. weird right?) for. i mean...why am i sitting here moping about how horrible my day has been. life is what you make it. :) finally. miley cyrus is useful. for now im perfectly content sitting here with my mom, eating gallons of ice cream, and watching 20 movies in a row. (literally 20 movies-_-)

have an amazing thanksgiving all. eat yummy food and enjoy family.

don't worry be happy

ahhh.

my blogs seem to be very depressing these days. so heres another one coming at you. so here i was. tuesday after school. smiling and happy because my sister was FINALLY home after such a long time. (long to me at least) thinking about the thanksgiving party were hosting at my house on friday. and then my mom tells me---your dad is going on a business trip tomorrow and coming back next week. so not only in my dad leaving for thanksgivng...he's going the week my sister's home. the ONLY week he's home. and no party or get together. no turkey. just me and my mom in the big empty house. (my sister's going somewhere) sighhhhh. but i trust god. it's all for good. im so sad though.

depressing, no?

blech.

things that aren't fun:

stomach aches
coughing up blood (hope you feel better:()

christmas part2

this is a clip that jdsn showed during service on sunday.....but i really like it. but the sad part is that i don't know if im willing to give up presents. if im just willing to give it all up for charity. i sound horrible. and spoiled...i know. that's why i feel so bad. anyways...enough about me. watch down below-_____- i love this video.:) MERRY ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!!

flunctuation

sighhh. that post was just plain violent. again...i apologize.

on a side note....the holiday season is approaching. the season where i gain 10 pounds. haha. i can't help it. turkey, stuffing, candy, mashed potato, cakes, ice cream...! i am a huge fan of food. i love thanksgiving. every year my family has this huge party at my house. its a tradition. and we have SO MUCH FOOD. course, we always have the traditional stuff-turkey etc. last year was the biggest. we had maybe 120 people. all of the foreign exchange students+tons of others. and all of the kids watched kung fu panda so we had like 20 little boys rolling around kicking eachother. i loved it though. my mom? not so much.

another part of the holiday season i love is the weather. i don't know how to explain it...but there's this different feeling to the air. not just cold but....crisp...? it smells different too. im not crazy. ahhhh. that's just outside though. the smell of food cooking inside on christmas is the best. (haha back to food)and candles. its just amazing. plus presents. but more then that, the feeling of love when my family's all together and at home. sometimes i actually cry because it feels so good when my family's all together. :) ahhh. can't wait.

that was a long post...but it made me feel good. organized my thoughts at least.....kind of. until next time---steph

scratch that

i just reread my blog and realized what a depressing blog it was. please excuse my emoness. anywaysssss. pray for me. i didn't make the vollleyball team...for stingray power...but i AM on the waitlist. the results are coming out today. but they haven't called yet. WHY HAVEN'T THEY CALLED YET?!?!?!?!?! i swear. im going to punch someone.

ahhh.

you may have noticed that i haven't been as enthusiastic about blogging lately....why you may ask. my answer is----no clue. eh. just don't feel like it. and its not like anyone actually reads. :(( writing pointless blogs in my own little bubble. wow. i have no life. haha.

ps. i have gas. never. having. milk. again.

mousiesssss

so....my mom and i were working on our computers downstairs...and we hear this squeaking. i thought it was the trees. it wasn't. it was a mouse. first of all...you have to understand that my mom hates animals smaller than a chihuahua. snakes, lizards, bugs, you name it. so we open the drawer in our kitchen and the bags for the flour and other stuff are completely ripped. and there's rat poo everywhere. and it smells. a lot. so my dad bought these traps but they aren't working at all. nada. no dead mouse. and we considered putting rat poison all along the outside of the house (sorry animal lovers) bcause we found the rat hole. but what if the mouse died while it was in the hole. do we really want a dead mouse stinking up our house? nope. there goes plan b. so now my dad came up with this BRILLIANT (or so he says) homemade trap. it consists of wires and a glass jar. the top of the glass jar is all wire...and there's a hole. it can go through the hole..but once its in...it cant get back our because the wires are sticking out. and even rats are smart enough to know that getting poked with sharp wires---not fun. so well see what happens. sigh...the thought of rats crawling around my room. jeepers! haha.
