"It is a good birthday after all"

(I was looking at my past posts and I realized that I haven't actually written a post longer than about two sentences since November 14th. So here are some words for ya.)

Yesterday was my birthday! It was really fun. This is what I wore: my "full of Snoopy" shirt, new Snoopy and Woodstock peace jacket, jeans and striped socks :)



I got a card, a homemade notebook and some "sweet pea" lotion from Channie.

I got an Eeyore stuffed toy (that the tail comes off!), a Belle ornament and a card from Erica (my cousin).

I got balloons from my mom during Seminary.



Princess Buttercup liked them a lot :)



I had to take a test in psychology, but I got a B (which is my usual grade on psyc tests) so that wasn't too bad.

Ruby gave me a "Best of EFY" cd! Yay :D

I finished my assignment in photo and thought I did a good job :) (it looks a little off balance because I took my last name off)



I had a yummy rice bowl for lunch.

Lunch was....awesome :) I love my friends!

Math wasn't too fun (the learning part, he he). But it was fun to talk with Ruby and I like all of the people in my class; it is fun to be around them :)

My mom and I had a nice, mostly uninterrupted talk :)

I got some cute pajama pants from my next door neighbors.

I had some icecream and a train cake with my family. (my mom got a train pan and a kitchen aid for Christmas so she decided to try it out; it just happened to be on my birthday)



I went to Bajio with Amber, Routine Rena and Drell. YUM!! Routine Rena gave me this book. I'm excited to read it! :)



I got a figurine from my aunt (it was her birthday too). It is a young girl with brown hair in a white dress. It has an inscription on the pedestal that says: "Patience is a Virtue". We are having my family party on Sunday :)

It was a good birthday after all! :D

14 and 32!

14 days until Christmas!
(my Dad's work truck)

And 32 days until my birthday!



(both pictures by me :D)

Random Ramblings

I felt like I wanted to make a blog post, but not about anything specific. So here you go!

It's SNOWING!!!!!!!!



I really do love socks :D




I finished my book last night! It is called "Fairest", by Gail Carson Levine, and it is really good! It is kinda of retelling of snow white. Here is a quote from it: "If you love a thing, one more is always welcome"



Oh! A few weeks ago, I entered a photo in the Reflections program at school. On Thursday, they called me down to the office and told me that MY photo was going on to the District! And they gave me $25! They are going to display it in January. Then, yesterday, they announced all of the entrees and winners over the intercom :D



It's November now. Wall-e's birthday is today. :D



There is 14 days until Amber's birthday!!

Princess Buttercup is going to preschool now! I'm pretty sure she loves it :D



I have a new found love for yogurt! Which is odd, because when I could eat/drink things with milk without having tummy cramps, I hated yogurt. But now, since my tummy is sensitive to sugar and milk, I love it! But only two flavors-vanilla and lemon. And they don't hurt my tummy too bad! :D




Well, that's enough for now. :D

Mom

It was my Mom's birthday yesterday! I hope she had a fun day.

Mom,
I love you so much!! I am so glad that I have you and I don't know what I would do without you. You have blessed me in so many ways, too many to count. Happy Birthday!!
Love,
Amanda

Here is a great movie, a tribute to moms. Enjoy!
