And Mom said, "Let there be light!"

And the front yard was lit,

and the Mom was happy. :)

~holly~

I though of this book this weekend. I was watching a Christmas Movie and thinking about this other book I read and...POOF!

Name-Holly Claus
Age-14
Birthday-October 9th
Lives in- The North Pole (She's in Maine right now)
Siblings-2 brothers, James Claus, 27, Matthew Claus, 19
Holly is Santa Claus daughter and is chipper and she's always sparkling. She loves to play with the elves and she can't wait till she's 18, when she will get to take care of the reindeer's as a job. But when a blizzard hit and Vixen isn't counted for, she set's out to find him and the two get swiped all the way to Maine. She tries to blend in, though all the kids, especially Ricky Wells, knows she is something magical.

~limericks~

I've been writing limericks for school. They're quite fun. One of my favorites:
There once was a man from Peru,
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe
He woke with a fright
in the middle of the night
To find it was perfectly true!

Here's one I wrote:
A lion was loose in the zoo,
and what did this lion do?
It saw a zebra in a cage,
it was eating some sage
and now the zebra's gone too!

Limericks are fun.

~christmas~

I know, Christmas isn't for another month and a half, you don't have to nag me about it. But I learned last year, time goes by fast. In fact, Last Christmas doesn't seem like it was that long ago. I'm thinking about what I want, what I should buy my family members, what I should buy my friends, etc. It's hard shopping for your parents.

I only have three things on my christmas list, and one of them is kind of a joke.

My sister wants an iPhone. I don't plan to get it for her, but in return, she doesn't have to get me my parrot. Yes, I want a parrot.

Taffy. I might get my braces off before Christmas. If so, I will be EXTREMLY happy if I got a big box of salt water taffy all for myself. Yum yum! Of course, I would probably eat it in one day.

So yeah, the commercails of brainwashed me and got my thinking about Christmas. Someone is going to have to hit me real hard to bring me back down to earth.

~dances~

These dances at my church, I enjoy them. This is how it goes down.

Week before dance- I feel sick to my stomach about and do not want to go. But my sister wants to go, so I decide to go too.

Day of the dance-Thinking about it, still thinking about it....

Getting ready- This is when I freak out on the inside.

Arrive at the dance- I relax, but I don't acually go inside for a good ten minutes.

Acually inside- I relax as I stand in a corner talking to my friend who feels the same way about these dances as I do.

Later- I sing a bit and do a bit of swaying to some of the GOOD songs.

Later...- I get into a circle of five other people as we jump to a song that's horrible and great at the same time.

End- I had a good time.

This happens everytime. You'd expect after going to a bunch of these I wouldn't get all worked up before the dance, but no. I can't imagene how I'll act before the semi-formal in spring....

~raindrops~

Music helps me write my books a bit better. I put more detail in them. So while I'm listening to this, I'm, of course, writing.

~candy~

When I grow up, I'm going to be a bad parent, because every year, around this time, my kids will be on the floor crying because Mommy ate their Halloween candy.
It's hard not to steal some of my sisters candy when her bag is just hanging there from the doorknob. I've stollen one or two pieces of chocolate, and you don't know how hard I'm fighting with myself not to steal a piece everytime I pass her bag. ugh.
I took my sister trick or treating this year. I ate all the candy I got, which wasn't a lot. I got six pieces, only because some of the neighbors insisted I take at least one piece. One even offered me a bag.
I have a terrible sweet tooth. Everytime I buy something from the snack bar at Thursday Classes, it's almost always chocolate. If it's not chocolate, it's one of thoose mini cakes. If it's not a mini cake, it's usually something like starburst, skittles, mentos, etc. I'm starting to develop self control when it comes to sweet things, so maybe I won't be so bad with stealing candy from my kids. Maybe...
