With My Dad

This past year has been amazing, and trying all in one little bundle, but as midnight approaches (and as I sit here in the hotel room) I am ready to bring in the new year and set my 2010 'bundle' on the shelf of my life.

The wedding was lovely and Dad and I got to dance to 'Twist and Shout'. Afterwards people were influenced by our amazing moves and joined us on the dance floor.

Good Bye Doll

Today I visited Meghan with Courtney, she wasn't too happy to see me, but she sent me a very nice text after I had left to say thanks for stopping by.

Personally speaking, I think the lack of wisdom teeth has done nothing for her mood, but Samantha brought life into those [insert color] eyes.

Din' Din'

Tonight I cooked Dinner. We had broccoli, apples, and parmesan chicken. I had to fry the chicken, I was the bomb at it. Dad helped a little because I was washing my hands too much going in between the chicken and vegetables. I also got to chop with the big knife. I think I'll like making myself food when I leave the house.

On my ninth birthday I had a cooking birthday party. I invited people over and we made pizza. Everyone had a little piece of dough and got to create their own. I had a lot of fun, it was cool pretending to be a chef for a few minutes. I think being one would be awesome.

One of my day dreams is to move to France and buy a giant farm which grows fresh produce and grapes, with the bright, fresh, green grass as far as the eye can see. Then I'll become thirty pounds overweight and wear cooking clothes every where I go. In town I'll own a restaurant and I'll be on the food channel cooking in my own kitchen like the Barefoot Contessa.

But this is all a daydream, I couldn't become a chef. I decided a long time ago I wouldn't work in the food industry.

Lack Of Tears

This is a post in response to this post.

When the cousins arrived, I really didn't feel like Tekla was too cool and that I had to act too cool. Thanks to my companions in Math class, who told me to just be myself, I was able to calm down and just chill. This visit there was no breakdowns and I think Tekla was surprised by my actions, I wasn't envious of Gretchen, instead I felt bad for her. She tried a little to hard to be buddy-buddy with Tekla.

*note on picture above: we be cool....can you tell Dad caught us off guard?

Tooth Fairy

This little girl on the right (Evelyn) is my cousin once removed, I think. She's my cousins kid, so....if anyone out there understands what I'm trying to say... The other little girl (left) is named Emma, she's my cousin and recently stayed over with her sister at our house.

Her sister, above, lost her first tooth at our house last night. She's so cute! I can't believe I was ever that tiny!

Standard

What is the gift you receive the most from people that you hardly end up using?

If you're into sports maybe you get packets of gross protein bars.

If you are a math genius you get crappy two dollar calculators.

If you're a boy you get a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods.

Or if you are a girl you get a diary....journal. Whatever....

Grandma gave me a journal for christmas, and I don't want to seem greedy, but I would have rather had money. To me that says, I really don't know what you want and I don't want to offend you by giving you something that makes a stereotype. That and I don't want to give you something you might all ready have.

I've gotten so many journal things over the years it seems like just when I get rid of them, they pop back up into my bedroom.

I Dreamed A Dream

Dad and I bought Inception (via apple tv last night) and that's all i've been able to think about.

Aside from having my two favorite actors (Leonardo Dicaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) in the movie (as well as Ellen Paige) it's a really well filmed and written movie. It's just amazing. (click on picture below)

Plus, the ending. Wow! Super cool. And if you've seen it you know what i'm talking about. I googled it immediately after the credited started rolling and I like this interpretation of the ending the best. (HERE) You can't argue with logic.
