Cliffy got in the tub!

It took lots of pretzal crisps to just get him in the bathroom. We tried a bone with peanut butter in it, but no. Once we got him in the bathroom, he sat his butt down and wouldn't move. We cooed him, and once he stood up again, we lifted him up, and put him in the tub. PHew!

Movies I've seen

Friday, I went and saw Justin Bieber Never Say Never with 9 of my friends. We met at the theater and played games for a little while. It was actually a pretty good movie, meaning I'm glad I saw it. It was entertaining, especially sitting next to my friend who has the funniest reactions and comments on things that happen. Some of my friends didn't come because they didnt want to pay 12 $ to see his face (note that we only payed 8) and they didnt want to walk out of the movies liking him. It was in 3D and it was funny because everytime he pointed he pointed at me, because i was sitting in the middle of the theater, I would tap my friend and pretend to be so excited. i would say things like, "OMG! He pointed at me! Did you see that, he loves me!" Haha! The boys sitting next to me probably got annoyed. The other movie I saw was Just Go With It. I love Adam sandler and Jennifer Anniston, so i thought it would be really good, but it was only OK. It was a stupid kind of humor, but like the JB movie, I'm glad I saw it. Just felt like giving a review. I also recently watched Life as we Know it, which was really cute and funny and good. I recommend it. I know I'm not spelling a lot of things right, but I'm to lazy to think about spelling. I also wanted to post one of my new favorite songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LraOiHUltak I love the music video to it.<3 Carrie Underwood. Post later!

School Project!

After reading the Outsiders by S.E Hinton, we had the choice of doing a couple projects. Me and my BFF decided to do the one where you have the choice of either being blind or deaf for three days. We decided to be blind. It was a wonderful (and boring) experience, but I'm glad I did it! Here is a short video I made (and that I am really proud of). That is my friend in the other blind fold, (FYI)

Penguin Plunge!

What an awesome time! I had tons of fun plunging into Lake Champlain in February as crazy as it sounds! Basically, you change in a tent, go to a different tent and when your group is next, you stand by a door until they let you out. You run about 50 yards through the crowd, and when you see the water you freak out a little but keep running forward. You cant hear the crowd yelling for you, and your mind is blank. You feel the water on your feet, but only slightly. You go immediatly numb, dunk your head under and scramble out as fast as you can. You grab a towel and run back to the changing tent to put on your warm clothes. The Penguin Plunge is the biggest fundraiser for special olympics, and they raised 360,000 $ for the cause. (By the way, the kid is from my school! I had a great time with my friends! ANyway here are some pictures and a video. Before the plunge My friend and I after! Brr! This is my group. I am in a bright green bathing suit, if you can see me!

Here's a video

Funny story- So cliffy really really needs a bath. He looks dusty and dandruffy! Haha! We took some treats and tried to lead him to the bathroom, but he ran to his bed. My dad pulled the bed from under him, and Cliffy automatically ran to the couch. Later, we tried with his dinner... Haha! Sorry its a bad video. He is such a great dog! I headed to the bathroom and he ran away into a corner! Did you see him turn his head everytime I said 'tub!'? Anyway, school is boring and nothing exciting has happened recently. In a week I plunge into Lake Champlain! I am super excited! I will get a video, if you would like to see it! I have to tell my mom to make it short, or else it won't upload it. Does that happen with you, Coll? Thought you would want to see a video! Bye for now!

Everything...

Wow, I have not posted in forever. I have lots of things to tell you, so let me get started. I have decided to do the Penguin Plunge with my school team. You raise $175 to jump in Lake Champlain. All of the money goes to the Special Olympics of Vermont. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited! I am not normally the person to do these things for. I normally wouldn't jump in a freezing cold lake on February 5th either. I have raised about $140 and WAHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to all my sponsers!! Second, the Reynolds were up this weekend and it was really nice to see them! We had lots of fun and spent a ton of time outside snowshoeing, sledding, having a bon fire and we even walked around Church Street! I wish we got to see them more often. Next weekend we are heading to Lake Placid to see the Ferris'. I am totally totally excited!! My cousin is playing one game Friday (I am skipping school) and two on Saturday. Sadly, we don't even get to be there that long. Thirdly, I have to go to the Orthodontist on Thursday. I still don't know when I am getting my braces, but I should get an idea on the 20th. Everyone is starting to get them. I hope they dont have to come to Europe with me. Then again, the sooner I get them, the sooner they come off. Fourth, I have to read the book _The Outsiders_ and I have to do a webquest on it. For extra credit, I did a little video. I hope it attached..... I had today off, which was a nice treat because i normally don't get this day off. I also am not going to school on Friday! Super short week!!!!! I <3 that! I have a district test on Thursday though. Uggg!!!! i get so many tests now a days.

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I certainly did! I got the shoes I wanted, a new claddagh ring (we have to return it and get .5 size bigger) fleece sheets for my bed (AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE!) and a matching blanket, Just Dance 2 for the wii, and Aeropostale gift card from Pad, Cucumber melon lotion and body spray from my friend Abbie, a super cute Santa ornament, earrings (two pair), lip gloss, a furry sweatshirt from my cousin, stamps (Like with ink) a nail buffer, some socks, stickers for my wall, two books, candy, gum and money from relatives or family friends. I love all of my gifts! I have played Just dance so mych and my shoulders are sore. My favorite song to dance to is called Iko Iko haha! I really want to go shopping now so I can use my gift card and I have also decided I want to get a butterfly chair to put in my room. I hope your Christmas was as good as mine! Happy 2011!

Did I mention?

For April break we are going to Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic! I am totally psyched and cannot wait. I look forward to all the trains and castles and stuff. The only downer is the 17 hours of travel thing. I am getting used to it for sure. The other cool thing is that we are staying for two weeks! I will miss my cliffy doo though.

Holidays!

One week 'til Christmas! I am bursting with joy, but the part that drags me is I have to go to school another three days. Oh well, as long as it gets me closer to Christmas and New Year's. On the 26th we are going to go down to Red Hook for a few days. Yesterday I got a haicut. It is a little past my shoulders and I have bangs. I like it so far I just hope my bangs don't get annoying. In class I had to write a personal development essay and while I was searching for pictures of my, I found this one. Coll-I know you will love it.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays everyone! I love this time of year! giving and getting and all the decorations. I am in Saratoga this weekend, but I am a little bit sick so it's not as fun. None of my friends are here with me so Im kinda bored, but you know what cheers me up? Yup. TARGET! We have our tree up and there are only like 14 days. I have all my gift shopping done except for a few things I will get today while I am walking around. Pad won his first game 6-1, and I am not sure about the last one because I stayed at the hotel since I dont feel great. Cliffy is slowly losing his hair. He looks much skinnier and it all falls out in big clumps. My poor little baby! :(

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you have (had) a good day!

Red Hook

I got to miss school on Friday (I got a day longer break) and we went to Red Hook. Well, My mom and I did. I had a good time there. We got to go to Target (again) and we also went to H&M where I got a cool new pair of pink pants. I got a lot of my shopping for X-Mas done, I just have 4 little things to get, but I'm not sure what they are yet. I love shopping, especially for other people. I mean who doesn't? I also got a sweatshirt, a skirt and a notepad while we were there. I also got to eat Five Guys, again, and our favorite sandwiches from the IGA down the road. We also got to visit with my Grandpa (Papa) which is nice. I feel so bad for him. He never goes anywhere all he does is watch TV. There is no good food and Uh. I can't imagine living like that. It makes me happy that when we see him I know that he is happy. I have all week off! I am so excited. On Tuesday I am babysitting from 7AM to 3 PM. The girls are really good and sweet so I should be good. I have babysat them before so I know what to expect. I wanted to do a realy fun craft (thanksgiving related) but I need to find pinecones. I know we have some somewhere...... My novel is going really well. I have 9,000 words typed and 13 more pages that need typing. My goal is 12,000 as you know so I am almost there. I typed for about two hours yesterday and my hand hurt so bad. Anyone want to type for me? 10 cents an hour! Kidding. Hope you have a Happy Turkey Day!
