My weekend was...............interesting. I have decided that because of the events this weekend that I will only blog on the weekdays. Why you may ask? Well, my father has started to.... invade my privacy. NOT like 'weird' type, but he started going through my books and wish-lists and history and ALOMOST found my blog :0 !!! All weekend I stayed up in my room and cleaned. I had 14 socks without mates! LOL I tried to keep track of my "oppise-Daisies" but that was pointless. Well Sunday, the whole house just had tension seeping out of the walls; dad went to a friend; mom was doing dishes; kids were naive to the whole thing. So I baked! I made a Victoria sponge cake, inspired by "Calender Girls" :) lol it was soooooooooo good! I would put the recipe on here but........... remember how my mom was dogging me about blogging? well she has one now, ha ha. and she is going to put the recipe on her blog so I'll put a link up later for her blog/ the cake recipe. Well today I gave my 140 pound, yellow lab, Sam, a bath. In the bath-tub. With Pantene. It took my mom and I 30 minutes and 2 packs of Ritz crackers to get him in the bath. Then I scrubbed and conditioned him and now the bathroom stinks and Sam is right by my feet.... and he still stinks. But wuv him :) Well I have to run to break up a fight between the little ones from a fight. Oh! ps - I'm still reading the books I mentioned in my last post (The Blue Sword)

It is still cold. We are supposed to have even more snow, but I am content with my red snuggie socks, coffee, and a new book: "Princess of the Midnight Ball" by Jessica Day George. Mom is still trying to make me read "The Friendship Factor" by Alan Loy McGinnis, but since it's a very boring non-fiction "self-help" book, i hate it and have been reading it for over a week. Is mommy saying I need more friends? Uhhhhha, idk, i like being a hermit. I set up this blog today, and it took all day. I still have 3 books to put reviews on but dad will be home soon and he don't like when I'm on his laptop. My day has been content with my younger siblings playing "Secret Agent" around the house and Power Rangers on the PS2 all day, while mom is making a COMPLETE home-made, Joy of Cooking, lemon meringue pie! She made the crust, pudding and even the meringue! But since we broke our mixer trying to make peanut butter cookies a while back, I was the mixer. So of course I hurt my self. First, the end of the metal mixer made a sore on my hand, then on the inside of my right forearm, my muscle or tendon is like popping out and it hurts. Other than that, all that's happened to me is my morning ritual of tripping down the stairs and stubbing my toes. !!!!!!!!!! It's snowing again!!!!!! well I HAVE to go get pictures so have a happy, joy filled day!...................... ug that sounds to Martha Stewart-y. Wateva, see ya'
