Don't Be Intimidated

     Guess who. ME! Guess what. Springfest!!! Guess where. The beach! Guess when. Last Friday! Guess why. Just Cuz. 
     
     If you weren't smart enough to see what I did there: Last Friday I went to Springfest at the beach just cuz. It was fun, yet nauseating. It was too small for non-nauseating rides. Every single ride was a spin-you-until-you-throw-up ride. Oh well! I'm tough, I can take it. 
    
    Also, we went to Camp Watchaug for a field trip on Friday. I went zip lining because I'm one of those dare-devils who do things like that. Don't be intimidated. 
   
    And guess who had to do prize speaking today. Me.. It wasn't as bad as in 6th grade, though. I got one of the only C's I've ever gotten on prize speaking in 6th grade. But I've gotten more maturerer since then and did fantastically. I chose a part from the popular children's movie: Alice and Wonderland. Everyone was asking for my autograph.

Not-So-Super-Exciting Things, Plus My Birthday and Easter

     Hello there. I don't believe I've posted in the last 2 months. I've been super busy doing not-so-super-exciting things like homework and track. I had a track meet yesterday and it was freezing cold, but I achieved my goal of not doing completely terribly. 

     My birthday was a couple weeks ago and I joined the 13 club. I went out to dinner at Foxwoods and 5 other people stole my birthday. So, everyone had already said "Happy Birthday" a million bajillion times when it was my turn to stand on the stairs with a free ice cream and force people to give me birthday wishes. I guess that's what happens when your birthday is on a Friday. Then, for my party I had a sleepover and we got to paint on the walls at my dad's house with glow-in-the-dark paint. It was pretty cool! Also, we made glow-in-the-dark t-shirts. And we watched "The Breakfast Club" on a projector. And we had waffles (with nutella and whip cream) instead of cake. You jealous?

     For Easter we had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. There were like 30 eggs and I still have candy left over because I didn't want to throw up at track the next day. 

     We also got 10 new fishies for our fish tank. We had a little bit too much fun naming them, I think.

Nemo the Blizzard

     It's okay, I'm alive. I bet you were wondering because we just had a natural disaster. Nemo! The blizzard, not my dog. It was the coolest thing ever! And usually there isn't lightening during snow storms but this time there was. It was so weird. And now my backyard is completely covered in snow. I think we have a sled or two buried back there.

     In the middle of the blizzard, at like 6:30 pm, we walked to my friend Grace's house. It was so weird being out there. Every time there was lightening, everything around you flickered blue. There were only a couple of weirdos out there walking in the middle of a storm and that was us. There were telephone poles and wires down and ice flying at your face. I couldn't really see a thing. And I didn't wear snow pants or anything so when we got to their house I was soaking wet. It was okay, though, because we made it. 

     I'm pretty sure they called and cancelled school for tomorrow. I'm probably one of the only people annoyed by this. I think that if they just plowed the roads and fixed the all of the wires that fell, we would be just fine. That's my silly little opinion, but it's probably easier said than done.

Happy Martin Luther King Day!!!!

     Well. It's been a while. What holidays have past since my last post? Christmas, New Years, Martin Luther King Day. All of the big ones. Well it isn't really my fault. You see, I was enjoying my trip to California, where I was for Christmas. And then we had a New Years party back home which took up all my time. And then I got sick. I had a sore throat and a sore mouth and a cough and a fever. I was out of school for 5 days! And then I had to make up all of that work. And then we went to New Hampshire to go skiing. Yes, I realize that skiing after being severely ill is a bad idea so it's good thing I wasn't, like, severely severely ill. And then we just got back yesterday. And then my sister was sick today and I had to take care of her like the good sister I am. So I've been busy.
     It snowed today!! Only a little, but enough to make me smile. I hope we have school tomorrow, though. I know. That sounds weird. But I missed 5 days! I don't want to stay home another day. The town of Westerly is wimpish. If there's a little bit of snow, they threaten to cancel school. Or have an hour delay. Which is stupid because it never really snows. Only a little. It won't take an hour to plow the roads. Especially if there's only a millimeter to plow. It's a little bit frustrating, I'm not gonna lie.
     Oh and guess what? I got my room redone. Well sort of. I just got rid of my loft bed and am waiting for my new bed to come in because at the moment I'm sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Which my dog likes because he doesn't have to jump to get up. He's getting big. Well bigger than he was, which isn't saying much because he was pretty small.
     I guess I'll tell you about my trip to New Hampshire. Well we were near North Conway, I was told. We go there almost every time we go to New Hampshire. And we stay at the same place each time. The Old Field House. It's a B&B type place. They have an arcade. Not an arcade with like loud obnoxious video games, but an arcade with air hockey, ping pong, Foosball, shuffleboard, and such. They also have a dog named Teddy-bear. She is so cute and furry and big. They make really good breakfast in the morning, they play a movie at 7 every night, and have an outdoor hot-tub  Anyways, this time we stayed in the big fancy honeymoon suite there. We stayed with friends and it was cool because there was a door from our suite that lead to a staircase that lead to their suite. We went cross-country skiing both days we were there and now I'm am really sore and probably in really good shape. We skied on a trail called "The Wave" and it went up and down and up and down and I braved it. And only fell twice... Happy Martin Luther King Day!!
