bad news + bad news = no good news

well it turns out kevin and his mom aren't moving into that house in saganaw. apparently they weren't the only people with a deposit on the house, and so it sold to another person. so kevin's mom is pretty bummed about it. now they have to go back to looking for houses AGAIN. kinda sux...but at the same time, it's good for me and kevin because he'll still be here for a while.

also, my mom hasn't been feeling very well. doctors say that it's probably a bad case of a stomach virus. but she was in a lot of pain this morning. she said that apart from child birth, shes never been in so much pain. it's scary.

money made, money spent

i went and saw twilight today!! it was pretty sweet =] kevin and his mom took me. i want the movie =] watching the movie has made me want to reread the book. the books are sooooo much better! but the movie was still good =]

and earlier we had our garage sale. we made close to $400 total! my mom made about 115, mike about 71, me about 81, brianna about 40, and the boys each made about 28. overall it was a really good sale =] we sold ATON of stuff, and yet we had ATON of stuff left over lol. so whatever didn't sell went to GoodWill.

now i'm tired lol. my mom is out seeing twilight right now and mike is asleep. the kids are in bed watching movies (which is where i will be soon)

i don't know when i will be back, so if i don't come back before thanksgiving, Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

=[

well....i have some good news and i have some bad news. the good news is that kevin and his mom found a house. they put a downpayment on it and everything. the bad news is that it's in Saganaw...so much for stayin in this area....

Christmas is coming!

ok, im back for now =] so this past weekend was my grandmas garage sale and my aunt and i went to help her with it. it was ok. it was FREEZING outside and we didn't have alot of people show up, but i guess she did alright with what she had out there. i also got 20 bucks from my aunt for helping =] i wasn't expecting that so that was cool. it went towards Chritmas presents.

and i know what i'm getting everyone! well almost everyone. here's the list:
Mom: can't say because she reads this blog!!!
Mike: i'm actually not sure yet
Grandma: i made her a cross-stitch angel and i'm going to frame it. i also got some candy to go with it
Pa: chocolate covered cherries
Aunt Stacy and John: a tin of Ginger Snap cookies and Kung Fu Panda
Jonathan and Rachel: Pictionary Man
Daddy and Belinda: i had a picture taken for them
Christian: a DS game and a Ben Ten toy
Brandon: a DS game and a Ben Ten toy
Brianna: a DS game and Junie B. Jones books
Kevin: cant say because he reads this blog!!!

haha. yup yup. so i've got about half of it so far. i'm broke right now though so i can't get anymore at this moment. but i'm hoping that ima get some good money from our garage sale this saturday! i've got a lot of stuff to sell so hopefully it will go good.

me and my aunt are going shopping the day after thanksgiving. things will be on sale then so hopefully i can get some deals or something =]

me and Kevin are gonna go get pictures taken as well, so i might add those pictures to a few of the christmas gifts. i need a picture of us =] lol

anyways, me and Sarah have been talking some. she actually called me last night to see if i was going to volleyball aand we talked for about 10 minutes. she texted me this morning and invited me to her homeschool group on thursday for a thanksgiving thing. i've gotta ask my mom about it still, but i hope i can go =] it will be fun.

i need a good girl friend, so maybe with time Sarah will be that. i can hope =]

anyways, i guess that's it, so later

hopes and dreams

i wrote a new story today to send into Highlights Magazine!! this one actually uses people as the main characters instead of frogs, which i think will help my cause, but idk. but it might be a few weeks before i submit it anyways because i want other people to review it and tell me what i should make better and what should be changed and stuff. if you wanna read it click on the Fictionpress link to the right of my page and the story is called Last One Picked

R.I.P. board games

so last night was fun. jon and rachel came by and they stayed here for a little bit and then we left around 445 or so. we went to dinner with my dad and belinda at Johnny Carino's. i dont really like it there very much but i found something that was pretty good. basically its chicken alfredo but not. it was a make your own pasta thing and you could pick your kind of noodles and your kind of sauce. originally i didn't think you could put chicken on it but she asked me if i wanted to add chicken or anything so i did. i got bowtie noodles, alfredo sauce and chicken =] it was not only cheaper than just getting chicken alfredo but its also smaller and more my size. so yea it was good =]

so afterwards we all went back to my dad's house and belinda got on the computer (of course..no surprise there) and the rest of us played games. we played team 8-ball, team 9-ball, and tournament 9-ball in pool. me and my dad won both of the team games and i think my dad won the tournie. so after that we played Pictionary! and that was really fun!! none of us had played it in a long time so it was cool. we kept the same teams as pool, and me and my dad BARELY won. it was a really close game =]

by the time the game ended it was about 10 30 so we left. all in all it was a good night (good day really). the only bad thing was i found out my fishie didn't make it =( poor Cerulean. i tried. i did what i could. she was just too damaged to heal. Rest in peace Cerulean.

i also figured out what I'm probably getting jon and rachel for Christmas =]] i'm gettign them one gift together and they keep saying board games. well last night they brought up Pictionary Man. so i might get that. and we also were thinking about playing Tri-Bond and jon really likes that game, so i might get that one. i'm not sure yet. heck, depending on how much they are they might get both (doubtful tho lol). so yea we'll see =]]

well i gotta get going, lots of things to do today. chores and school mainly lol. and church later. so yup, have a good day yall =] i dont know when i'll be back

left, left, left right

i went to the Veteran's Parade downtown today =] kevin's mom took me. it was pretty cool! my baby is soooo handsome =] i also saw thomas. and i like the marching bands, those are cool!

anyways lol. after that we went to World Mart to get some ginger snap cookies that his mom likes and then we picked up kevin from school and went to Chillis. it was good =] we had to take him back afterwards cuz he still has school today lol. but yea it was fun =]

and then a little later im going to dinner for belindas birthday. jon and rachel are picking me up. well thats it for now, don't forget to check back on the question of the day! =]

addiction

so brandon's birthday and party was this past saturday. hes 6 now! kids grow up so fast...
but anyway, he got alot of cool stuff, like a DS and games for it, alot of clothes, some candy, stuff like that. so far, it looks like Spongebob Squarpants Drawn to Life is his favorite DS game. and me and all of the kids have been playing the mini-games together on Mario. he got that game too.
so yea, he had a good birthday =]

we're in the process of getting ready for a garage sale. it wont be this saturday but next, on the 22nd. my aunt is having one on the 21st and my grandma is having one this saturday. me and my aunt are going to go help her with it.

yup yup. and it's about that time to start buying christmas presents. i know what im getting for some people, but not everybody yet. i gotta start saving my money.

hopefully after Christmas if i have some money i'm going to get another fish tank at my dads house. i like fish, theyre fun to look at =] especially when you're laying in bed at night lol.

and i changed the gerbils cage yesterday and usually when i change their cage i give them a treat, like nuts or fruit or something, so i gave them so nuts and crackers! theyve never had crackers before but they seemed to like them =]

and then tomorrow i'm going to the veterans parade with kevins mom! kevin's gonna be in the parade =] he was in it last year too and mike took me for it. it was pretty cool =]

and i completley redid my myspace last night. got a new background, redid everything i had written on it, deleted some stuff, took off all my pictures and put just a few back on there. i like it =]

i use a lot of smileys lol

wow, thats more than i thought i was gonna write. i guess im done for now lol. bye!

p.s. here's my vampire smiley >=K

update on Cerulean

so last night i was watching the fish after Cerulean had gotten stuck in the filter, and Pepper kept bullying Cerulean. So I had to put her in a different tank so maybe she can heal. i also put some salt in her tank because 1) alot of people online said it helps fish to grow back fins and 2) it said on the box that it helps treat fish. so yea, she's got her own bowl as of now sitting next to the other tank.

my dad came in to say goodnight and he said that she kept looking longingly over towards the fliter like maybe she wanted to commict fish suicide. i told him that was funny because i was just thinkg about that. do fish commit suicude? there's a question of the day for you lol

our song

so Kevin was saying that he had a strong feeling I would like this one song by Lifehouse called "Whatever It Takes" so he had me listen to it. and omgosh! i almost cried because of how much this song reminded me of us. i told him that i was going to think about him every time I heard it and he asked me why. and i told him because he always says he'll do whatever it takes to keep us together. so later that day we were talking and he said he never wanted to lose me and he would do anything and everything to keep us together. and i said i didn't want to lose him either and i would also do anything and everything to keep us together and i said that should be our song. and he "its official, whatever it takes by lifehouse is our song forever" so we have a song now =]] which i think is really cool because we never have before. we actually never even brought it up before. but i think this songs describes us perfectly. i love it, and i love him =]]]

i love you soooo much teddy bear! i'll do whatever it takes =]

(p.s. if you havn't heard the song before and you would like to, go to www.projectplaylist.com and search for Whatever It Takes)

Cerulean

awwww, my poor fishie =( she got stuck in the bottom of the tank filter (this is how Salt died). luckily, i was able to help get her out before she died. but she did get some battle wounds. her back fin is pretty much gone. i've been looking online to see if fins grow back or not and alot of sources say that with time, fins willl grow back, but they might not be as good as before.

poor fishie

on the other hand, all three of them seem to be pretty healthy. i can remember a time when they had a big bulge like on their stomach area, but they seem to have grown and filled themselves out because they no longer have bulges and they look bigger lol. i think albino looks the healthiest though.

money makers

so im home from my little outting. i found the game i was looking for for brandon at GameStop! it was actually the only copy of it they had. it's Spongebob Squarepants: Atlantis Squarepantis.

and i had more money than i thought i did so i was able to get the fish some filters so now they can have a clean tank ^.^

yup yup.

i've got some gigs set for december! the 6th and the 13th. i'm not sure where they are yet but my dad will be going with me so it's all good. each gig pays 100 bucks =] which is really good cuz usually its only 60. so yea, 80 extra bucks for me ^.^

hi again!

so Halloween was fun =] the kids all liked their costumes (the boys have been wearing theirs and playing in them) and kevin came over and went trick-or-treating with us. its only because of him that i went up to each door lol. he made me haha =D but it was fun

and my grandma and aunt spent the weekend at our house so we played alot of trvia and stuff. me and kevin and his mom went to the movies on saturday night (which was 8 months btw! =] ). we saw Max Payne, but we didn't really get it lol. i fell asleep on kevins shoulder towards the end of the movie lol. hes really comfortable =]

and then on sunday i spent some time with my sis. we went bike riding and then when we came back we played Disney trivia with the boys. we played two games. i won one and she won one. the boys did pretty good too, they were on a team together. and then we just colored and watched Balto until dinner.

so now im at my dads house just chillin. and talkin to kevin =] when my dad gets home ima go to gamestop and see if i can find brandon a game for his birthday. and if ihave enough money ill go to petsmart and see if i can find another filter for the fishtank. and then i have to take some books back to the library.

yup yup. and i've started another cross-stitch too. it's this cat and it says "A Crazy Wonderful Weird Cat Lives Here" or somethihng like that. i think ima give it to miss amy cuz it really fits her style and her kitties =] lol.

belindas birthday is wednesday. we're gona take her to dinner on sunday probably. they wanted to take her this past sunday but she had stuff to do on WoW *rolls eyes*

well thats about it for now so later!!
