??

Can anybody see this background? I can't see it on this computer, but maybe it's just me

Ok...

I changed the background 'cause the other one was having problems. I like this one anyway!

26 August 2010

Just to let everyone know...

there are 8 GB USB flash drives on sale at Office Depot for $15!!

Oh, and I have a feeling we're not going to be keeping this background for long. It's so hard to read on!

Thursday Afternoon Daybook

I know...it's evening. But I completely forgot about this earlier, so better late then never!

Outside my window...


It's dark...and scary! ;)


Mood...


Tired


I'm thinking...


How I'm tired, yet pretty wide awake at the moment


I'm currently reading...


Well, I picked up Sun Slower Sun Faster and just started reading it today


I'm listening to...


Mom on the phone. She's all the way upstairs, but the house is almost empty, so....


I'm wearing...


Maroon-ish colored shirt, jean skirt


I'm looking forward to...


The weekend! One word: SLEEP


I'm hoping...


That Gators tomorrow won't be too hard


Yesterday, I...


Had a History open house. Gab and I are doing History online.


Around the house…


There are schoolbooks scattered


I'm hungry for...


Hmmm....what about ice cream (I know, I've done that one before, but really, who doesn't like ice cream?)


The song stuck inside my head is…


I'm actually not quite sure what it's called. It play on Spirit FM once in a while. The chorus goes something like "Hey, yeah....." and I don't know the rest. :P


I love…


MUSIC


I loathe...


When my fingernails are so short that they hurt....


From the kitchen…


Blueberry scones for breakfast! (thanks to Josie and Mom)


School right now…


Math and History still....but after realizing that we have another week until our first History chat starts, we're not so rushed on history anymore.


What we’re planning for this week…


Well, not much, as far as I know. Let's see: Gators....School.....???


I am thankful for…

My Viola (Don't ask me why I said that...I just thought of something)

Background?

We know it's a little early, but we wanted to go ahead and put up our September 11th background. Is it too weird?

24 August 2010

It's not so nice when...

...you go limping around the house because you're sore from two days of Gators! We're still getting used to swimming hard, so I'm terribly sore. We did a kick set this morning that made me get like cramped in one position for like ten minutes [(a note from Gab): I did the math, and it actually was 16 minutes...straight. People were stopping to stretch their arms 'cause they got cramped up so much in that position with a kickboard. Try it! It's not as easy as it seems. :P]. So, yeah...I'm VERY sore.

23 August 2010

A little 'timeline' of our (maybe more like my) day....

Guess what we did today...we actually started school! We only did Math and History, though. This is kinda how Gab's and my day went so far:

Around 5:30-

We rolled out of bed, got into our bathing suits, and got a quick breakfast because, not only did we start school again today, we restarted Gators (Gators is a year-round swim team. Last year Gab and I did it also, but we took a break in the summer) today! Today we only had to get up at 5:30 because it started later this morning. On a normal day we'll get up at around 4:30.

At 8 AM-

Gators was about done (NORMALLY Gators is 5:30-7:30; today it was 6:30-8). Mom picked us up and took us home. Then, we showered, at a second breakfast and did chores.

At 9:30-

I did my chores and stuff like that (Gab had started school earlier and was way ahead of me) and then we did our 'first day of school' pictures. Then, after finishing everything else, I started school.

At 12 PM-

Mom says for me to look after Bug-bug because we're getting pizza for lunch for the special occasion of 'the first day of school'.

At 1 PM-

I get ready to go to music because I have both Piano and Viola on Mondays. So I went to music for an hour and then came home. I feel good once the lessons are done.

The others stay here and...do stuff. I don't know what they do when I'm gone...hmm....

Anytime after 2:30 (when I get home)-

Finish school, play, go do gymnastics in the basement...


So, that was our (or my...) day! It's fine if you didn't read all that...;) I just wanted to post something in honor of our first day back to school!

HAPPY SCHOOL YEAR!

Does Anyone Think...

...that we're putting up too many videos? Gab actually just finished another one...so....it'll probably show up soon. But, really, does anyone not like the videos? I'm putting up a poll, so you can vote.

(A note from Gab): And by the way, we don't really expect you to watch all of them, but even if all of you say they're absolutely TERRIBLE, I'm probably gonna keep on putting them up because I just LOVE editing movies. Sorry!

Edit (from Gab): Wow, you guys are being nice! 100%! Nice! Well, expect another movie post soon...

Today...

Dad was singing into the microphone like the pig that cried "wee, wee, wee" it all the way home. Supposedly, he had watched this commercial the day earlier.

This makes Mom really laugh.

Thursday Afternoon Daybook

Outside my window...


It's pretty nice. The grass is still dead, though.


Mood...


Hungry...does that count?


I'm thinking...


About what to have to eat


I'm currently reading...


Nothing. I have a book on hold at the library book, so hopefully....


I'm listening to...


Dad just got home. He gets home early on Thursdays. Mom and Dad are talking.


I'm wearing...


Striped shirt, khaki-ish pants.


I'm looking forward to...


Tomorrow. We get to have friends over then!


I'm hoping...


That whatever I get to eat will be good!


Yesterday, I...


What did I do yesterday....hmm....Oh, yeah, I helped clean...and streamed a movie off Netflix.


Around the house…


The basement is slowly getting cleaned up...and we're getting ready for school.


I'm hungry for...


Well, I think I want a frappuccino and pizza. Yeah, that sounds good.


The song stuck inside my head is…


Something Holy by Stellar Kart. It was on the radio on the way home from Target.


I love…


When you're pretty sure that a homeschooling family is moving in down the street. We're really excited to meet them!


I loathe...


When you try to blow a bubble and it pops and the sticky mess gets all around your mouth.


From the kitchen…


Well, I'm hoping to do a cooking competition soon...


School right now…


Not yet, but SOON!


What we’re planning for this week…


Getting ready for school...and I don't know what we're doing this weekend.


I am thankful for…


School. It isn't my favorite, but I'm VERY thankful that I have a good education. So, actually, that makes my answer school and my parents.

Pictures!!!...in a different form...

I knew that when we came back from our trip we'd have lots of pictures, and that would make for a really, really long post. So instead, I made a slideshow (but not your typical slideshow...exactly...). It's only three minutes long; so watch it, and see what I mean! Oh, and don't ask me why I picked the song. And one more thing. If your computer's muted, then you might not understand the speed and stuff of the pictures, and I don't know why it's so big. ;)
