Cooking mama

I feel like I've spent a lot of time in the kitchen the last 2 days.. Even tho it was probably only like, mm 6ish hours.. Sunday night hailey and I had the house to ourselves for the evening while the other 3 went to the seminary conference thing... Sooo, I decided to make some cinnamon rolls, rolls, and loaves of bread. First time by myself making these, I'd say I did a pretty decent job. Then last night I made baked fried chicken (from pinterest) mmm, mmm, mmmmm!! It was mighty fine! And the rolls I made. Oh! Almost forgot, and I also made cookies yesterday.. I am kind of sick of the kitchen now. Ugh, 10ish more years and I'll have to do this stuff every night! Sheesh! Isn't it just easier to buy some frozen pizzas?! Oh well, I better get used to it now.... Overall I guess it wasn't too bad, the worst part was cleaning up.. :\ hate that part!
Hope y'all are doing fine! Byee! :)

New years resolutions

1st resolution-handwriting. I like my handwriting.... But I changes like every day! And I want consistent handwriting, so that is something to work on this year

2nd resolution- money. Save money, live better. Jk:) but I do really want to save my money better... I think I have gotten a lot better at saving the last little while. Right now I have $61 and then I'll have 30 more today, cause $5 for my jobs, and $25 for grades (all a's baby!!! Yaya!) oh yeah, then I owe my mom $8 for Netflix (I signed up for Netflix for myself:) so whoever uses it has to pay me:))

3rd resolution- run. I really want to become a better runner. So far I can't beat a 9 min. mile:( my goal is at least an 8 min. mile, at least!

4th resolution- be organized/keep my room clean. I am such an unorganized person! To an organized person (cough, cough, mom) my room is never clean... I think it's a little weird that I'm OCD, but my room looks terrible! So I need to get better at that

5th resolution- grades. Keep 'em up! That's pretty much it. My grades usually aren't lower than and a- so I think that one will be easy peasy!

I tried to take a panoramic with my iPod, and I kind of is poo, but this is my room when it's "clean"

New semester!

I can't decide if I'm happy about a new semester or not. 1st of all, I'm gonna miss all the fun classes with my friends. And second of all, I don't have dance:( here was my 'original' 2nd semester schedule.....
A1- orchestra
A2- pre-algebra
A3- Utah history
A4- science
B5- ceramics
B6- CTE
B7- english (which btw is still my least favorite class ever)
B8- tech:\

So I was kinda dreading tech, cause I heard there was a lot of weird and gross boys in there (not the handsome ones) so I got thinking..... If I drop tech and add dance, dance can take history's place (cause the dance teacher teaches dance on A days and aerobics on B days) then history can go in tech's place.... Pretty good thinking' huh? Ya well I went to the office on Monday to get the form...... Dance was full..... :( rawr! Soo, ya I was pretty angry. I really didn't want to take tech... So I had some choices to make, keyboarding, psychology, aerobics, drama, blah blah blah. There were more but I can't remember them.. So I said- keyboarding, no. Psychology, maybe. Aerobics, most likely. Drama, already took... And the rest were definite no's. aerobics was whereupon mind was looking toward... And I also thought, hey! Why not keep fit all year? And I signed up!
But I still had a problem.... English. You're not allowed to switch teachers so I was a little bummed until Wednesday or something... Someone from the office comes in, hands a bunch of little papers to my english teacher. My teacher reads the names that were on the little papers and I was one of them. I was a little freaked out cause I didn't know what it was for cause all it said was to go right to the office. Then me and the other people walked to the office, when we got there the lady said that the English classes were too big so we were all gonna have a different english teacher. Inside, I was wayy happy! Wahoo! No more lame english!
Then I got my new schedule the other day that I'm pretty happy with
A1-orchestra
A2- pre-algebra
A3- history
A4- science
B5- ceramics
B6- CTE
B7- english
B8- aerobics
So the only thing that changed was B8! Sweet! And my A day is exactly the same as last semester except for A3:) but I'm still super sad that the dance classes were full:((( cause every march there is try-outs for dance company, and I was hoping that I could try-out but you can only try-out if you have taken or are in a dance class at school.... And I'm not:( so I'll have to next year:( darn..... Oh well, everything happens for a reason....
P.s. where it says whereupon, ya, I didn't write that... My iPod did so I just decided to go with cause it sounded fancy:)

Christmas!! (& a little bit of birthday)

Yay! Christmas finally came, but now I sad that it's gone..... On the bright side, I did get everything on my wish list:) I'll start with my birthday.... I already posted about what I got from my mom (so I'll skip that) the saturday before i left, it was like 830 in the morning and my mom comes up in my room and tells me to hurry and get ready for the day and to clean my room. I wasn't too fond of that idea but I got up anyway. I took like a 45 minute shower and then took 45 minutes to get the rest of my self ready. I was mad, my mom didn't even tell me why, so I was just guessing that we were going somewhere for a christmas surprise or something.... Well it was like 10 and she told me to finish my friends christmas presents so that we could drop them off (I didn't finish 3 of them) when she told me that I was even more mad because I thought that she woke me up super early just to drop off presents!! Then someone knocked on the door.. At that moment I was pouting and laying on the floor (I know, real mature...) so when I heard the knock I quickly ran up the stairs so that no one would see me. My mom called for me that the door was for me. I went back down the stairs and all of the sudden a whole bunch of my friends run in, tie me up, duct tape my mouth, and carried me to their car.... I really had no idea what was going on. The finally let me rip of the duct tape and they told me that they were taking to me Denny's for breakfast:) haha it was probably one of THE best times with my friends, EVER! I'm so glad that I have such awesome friends that care about me so much:) so that was another birthday "present".. At my dads house I got some hair things, some jewelry stuff, and a really cozy sweater.... And that's the rest of my birthday experience:)
Christmas at my moms~ I got some new cute jeans (they are one of my only pairs that aren't way big on me), and the fancy curling iron that is on my wish list post... It works like a charm:)
Then at my dads, I got some shirts, a jacket, TOMS:)), and when I thought that there weren't any more presents for me..... Something started ringing from under the tree:) can you guess what it was? A CELL PHONE!!!!! Wooohooo!!! After years of "sharing"* with Chris, I deserved one:)
Then I found out that at home, Santa was VERY generous this year... He brought a new big tv, treadmill, and a trampoline! Too bad the tramp won't be set up for quite a while:( but! At least with the treadmill I can work on one of my new years resolutions:)..... Running a 6 minute mile! On that note, in pe/aerobics we have to run the mile 3x a semester. (because I had pe right after aerobics, sometimes I didn't have to run it again if I already did that day, but other times my friend an I would run it in pe just for the halibut;)) on my first mile I got 12:13 (crappy), on my second mile 10:40 (still crappy), on my 3rd 9:33, and on my final one (so far) 9:03.... I think I've done pretty good and made great progress in the last couple of months, but hopefully on my last one I can get my (school) goal of 8:30 or less. I kind of got sidetracked, but that's ok, cause I'm bored! What else would I do just sitting in a hotel room waiting to go meet my mom in cedar city to go home? (long sentence) have you noticed that I use parenthesis a lot? Idk why I do, probably because I have so many side notes.... Well at at for now! I'll probably be posting my new years resolutions soon! Byee!

:)

On Wednesday we celebrated my birthday (early) I got a new iPod 4th gen. (but I had to pay some), a new belt (which I needed very much), and some candy....... Overall it was pretty good, I can't believe I'll be 13 in 5 days!

Christmas preparations

Holy moly! It seems like December ran right over November! And to me it seems like January is running over December. It's probably because I leave for my dads on Sunday and that is kind of like a big break in time (in other words it seems like the time I spend there isn't real)kinda) so since I'm going to my dads this year I have double duty.... Two dads, two moms, two sets of grandparents, and two other people in my family. That doesn't really sound like a lit but usually that list is singles, and I'm freaking out because I have 4 1/2 days till I leave and I feel like I'm so not ready..... Oh and not to mention 9 friend gifts..... Lame. I've decided to wrap all my dads side gifts when I get there, a couple less things to worry about. I guess I shouldnt worry too much because all I have left to do is finish my gramma's' gifts, print some stuff for my grandpa's present, whip something up for my mom, and finally pack for 2 1/2 weeks...... Eh, it's sort of something to stress about, especially trying to get my weekly chores done and keep my room tidy (which in my case, I wish there was a doctor that could help me with my messiness)unfortunately, there's not) I just can't wait until the holidays are over, ugh they cause so much stress when you're trying to think of others and not yourself. On that note, I'm not even asking for that much:) from my {mom}- that fancy iron that's on my wishlist post {dad}- idk.....but I do want toms for my bday (3 days before Christmas)also on my wishlist post) ya I think that's it:) have a fantabulous day/night/evening/morning:)

Blogger app

Wahoo! I just got the blogger app on my iPod:) so now I'll probably be posting a lot more now that I don't have to get on the computer:) yay! I'm excited
