I would yell..but I don't have the energy to.
Hey,
I'm so tired. Greg didn't end up coming over. I'm pretty dissappointed about that. It didn't work out because mom was planning to run errands all afternoon, and she couldn't garuntee to get him home on time. I don't think I will be able to see im till next week. Meanwhile, I went with my mom shopping...a joyful endeavor....I swear, she developes ADD as soon as she sets foot in any store. I took a nap, only to get woken up to do chores. I was a little irritated. Did you like the jokes that I posted? Zak found them. today is supposed to be the shortest day of the year. Not short enough.

First day of Christmas break
Hey,
Today started out wonderfully. I spent the night at Emily's house, so I woke up to her getting into an argument with her mom. It was still dark out! Oh well. She ended up falling back asleep for a couple hours, and I was pinned down by her kitten, Simon, sleeping on my arm. That was ok. When I got home, I took a nap, and my guinea pig was curled up on my stomach. He's the cutest thing that I have ever seen!!! anyway, if the weather is good, Greg will come over tomorrow. I hope he will. He'll probably bring over his sister to keep mine out of my hair. Snowball fight anyone? I can't believe it's almost Christmas. No..I'm not one of those type of people who can't fall asleep on christmas Eve out of excitement. I lost that years ago. But it is a fun holiday, and very important to me. Zak gave me several humorous lists. I'll post them.
Top 10 Signs Santa Doesn't Like Your Kid
10. Kid's letter to north pole comes back stamped, "Dream on, Chester!"
9. Kid asks for new bike, gets a pack of smokes.
8. Along with presents, Santa leaves hefty bill for shipping and handling.
7. By the time he gets to your house, all he has left are Styrofoam peanuts.
6. Christmas day, your kid wakes up with a Reindeer head in his bed.
5. Instead of "Naughty" or "Nice", Santa has him on the dork list.
4. Sends him off on a Carnival Cruise with Kathie Lee.
3. First words when kid gets on his lap are, "Touch my beard and I'll put the
hurt on you".
2. Labels on all your kid's toys read, "Straight from Craptown."
1. Four words: "Off my lap, Tubby!"
Top Ten Things A Department Store Santa Doesn't Want To Hear From Kids
10. "Remember me? I'm the kid with the weak bladder"
9. "You smell like supermarket gin"
8. "The real miracle on 34th Street would be if they accepted my mom's MasterCard"
7. "I want a 2004 Pontiac Aztec"
6. "Oh, by the way, if I don't get an X-Box, I'm gonna hunt you down, old man"
5. "I'm Jewish"
4. "I love you Kenny Rogers"
3. "Frankly I'm just here to humor my parents"
2. "While I'm talking to you, my mom is shoplifting blouses"
1. "Mom says you're my real daddy"
You might be a Scrooge if...
*If your only contact with three spirits on Christmas Eve is gin, vodka and bourbon -- you just might be a Scrooge

you just might be a Scrooge
*If you get your Christmas Tree at a rest stop at night -- you just might be a Scrooge
*If you give bathroom fixtures as Christmas gifts -- you just might be a Scrooge
*If your prized Christmas ornament is Santa Claus shooting the moon -
you just might be a Scrooge
*If your favorite Christmas movie is Jurassic Park - you just might be a Scrooge
*If your idea of Christmas dinner is a six pack of beer and a cheese log
--you just might be a Scrooge
*If you think "Ho, Ho, Ho" is a line from a Rocky movie -- you just might be a Scrooge
*If your best Christmas tradition involves a fire and reindeer meat -
you just might be a Scrooge
*If your favorite version of "Silent Night" is sung by OJ Simpson -- you just might be a Scrooge
*If your favorite past time is putting defective bulbs in your neighbors' string of Christmas lights or defacing Christmas lawn charicatures with egg nog - you just might be a Scrooge

Dad's Graduation.
Hey,
Well, after 3 years of college, my dad finally graduated today. Wow. Ever since I moved up here, my dad has been in college. It's hard to believe it's finally over. He went to college to become a R.N. He has worked very hard for it and I'm proud of him. It requireed sacrifices, but he was determined enough to work or it. Actually, he started going to college after he retired from his first career. I have to admit, it's partly because of my father that I want to become a nurse. I want to be able to help others (specifically children) and I think for me, nursing is the best way to do it. I also think that Nursing will be very rewarding to me. Might be idealistic, but I think it's true.

Children
Hey,
Sometimes I really hate dealing with my little siblings or children in general. tonight, I was trying to be nice to my younger siblings and gave them a few extra privleges. Well, when it came time to put them to bed, they(Lauren specifically) started acting up. You know, snapping, yelling, whining..that kind of thing. Nothing overly serious, but just enough to drive me to the brink of insanity. And then they act as if it was all my fault and I was being unfair to them. sometimes that frusterated me so much. But of course, the next day, they act like angels, and I completely forget the reason why I couldn't stand them the night before.

Partay!!!
Hey,
Emily's party was alot of fun. I think that it was the most sane party that she's ever hosted. I mean there were no indoor snowball fights, little wrestling, and no incidences of pyromania. Nice. The present exchange was pretty fun. Emily wrapped mine in ductape, packaging tape, a box, and plenty of wrapping paper. So kind. she gave me a "St. John's survival kit". Go figure. Emma gave me a pair of really cute earrings. Emily had to leave us at her house for a while so she could go to the doctors. That was kinda funny, and a little weird. Greg almost didn't make it, but his parents finally loosened up on him. Lately they have been breathing down his neck and it is really getting to him. :-( Oh Em, I got Cameron for Christmas "Simpsons: Road rage". What ca I say, I thought he would like it. Speaking of road rage, did I mention earlier that while driving I almost managed to hit or run over 3 different things today while driving? I think that's a record for me. I hate driving. It's a necessary evil. I'm so glad that it is Christmas break. Finally...a couple weeks to recooperate from school. I don't think I will be shopping at Target for a while. They won't let Salvation Army ring their bell and collect money outside of their door anymore. Scrooges. I read an editorial letter in the newspaper that was rather facinating. It was talking about how [people seem to be developing "Christianophobia" The fear of all things Christian or even remotely related to Christianity. Sometimes I wonder if they have a point. Oh well...that's a rant I'll have to save for another day.

Concert
Hey,
I have a concert tonight in choir. Bel Canto rocks!!!! We are singing Silver Bells, Alananita (a spanish song), and Carol of the Bells. It will be fun. we had a snow day yesterday, and that was awesome. First one of the year. Emily called me up, and I went to hang out with her. We ran some errands with her mom and went to the bestest resteraunt, Mustards. I worship the burger-ness. According to Emily, to eat the Mad Cow buger is to love the Mad Cow burger. Yeah, I know, we're goofy. Anyway, after that we attempted to make a bûche de noëlle (a yule log cake)..no luck there. It was pretty funny actually...we got ice cream all over the freezer and tried to eat the rest of the cake bit it was nasty. Actually..it kinda reminded me of dog crap. Oh well... Geoff and Katie came over and all of us had a snowball fight. That was fun. No, we didn't throw any yellow snowballs... Having school today was kinda a let down from the great weekend. Except that I got to see Greg. I'm always the happiest when I'm with him. He's really sweet and pretty sensitive. Actually, he was kinda upset a few minutes ago because he couldn't go to my concert (he missed my last one too both times because there were stuff with the boy scouts that he had to do..) Oh...chocolate is my hero!!!!!!!!

What a day.
Hey,
I'm so tired. I spent most of the day with Emily at the mall then spending the night at her house. I was kinda her fill in date, because apparently Chad canceled...again. I had fun. we watched movies and talked. When Chad inevitably called, he hung up on her because "she wasn't listening". Well, one must expect that when she has 3 guests over. Whatever. I spent 45 minutes meticulously wrapping 3 presents..ok so I had the time and I'm a perfectionist. I miss Greg! He's at Wisconsin picking up an engine. He's going to put it in his Cutlass (his pride and joy). I think that it's pretty cool that he has something to build up and have fun with it. I got his Christmas presents. I hope he likes them. His mom approved, so I think he will. I got bit by a spider. Not fun..that thing hurts. I'm so glad that there is only a week left of school till break. I'm getting sick of school. Speaking of school, I have a test and a speaking test on Monday. Won't that be fun? I'm looking foward to Emily's party. I already got my gift for my person on the secret santa thingy. I still have to shop for my family. Augh!!! Christmas is so expensive!!! Oh well, I think it's worth it. I like giving to others. Their reaction is always fun. Today, I tasted fruit cake for the first time. Disgsting. And I've decided that people put ammaretto in cough surup, and that's how it get's it's flavor. Don't ask. My concert is on tuesday. I think we will do pretty well.

Memo
Hey,
No offense to either of you, But Emily and Chad, you need to talk to each other. If something is up, talk to each other about it. Well, the projects turned out ok. Thank God, or Dad would have killed me. I have another quiz on Hamlet in Honors world Literature. Fun fun. Good grief, those kids are annoying me. Every five seconds "DANIELLE!! So and so is hitting me!" Or something like that. All I know is I have a headache, and I'm not in the mood for it. Greg was so sweet today. I was super tired today during lunch, and he persuaded me to lay my head on his shoulder, or lay down, and take a nap and stuff. That may not seem like much to you, but it is to me. The little things are sometimes the best things. Like cuddling on a couch, or a snowball fight. Ok, I'm getting too sentimental. But hey, you're the one reading this. Wow, I could really use a massage today. My shoulder hurts and my neck is sore. Chest la vie. I've been talking to Ashley a lot lately. She's doing ok, but I think is kinda lonely. I miss her. Ok, Gotta go, my brother needs help on homework. Subject predicate crap. What a nightmare.

This number is to remind me of something. Don't worry about it.

Frusteration.
Hey,
My dad got irritated at me for calling my step mom "Debbie" rather than "mom". But the thing is, a while ago, Debbie and I had a discussion, and she told me she didn't mind what I called her. what ever. I stole Greg's sweatshirt today. *warmth*

♪O Cannonball, o cannonball..♪
The words to one of last years Cristmas musical songs, and is supposed to go along to the tune of ♪O Christmas tree♪. We got our Christmas tree today. It's big, it's gren, and doesn't seem likely to follow the tradition of years past with the Christmas tree falling down. Go figure. Yeah, I'm happy. But then again, I have this project in Chemistry that I have yet to start on. It's due in 4 days I think...you know how I am about projects. *see one of my May or June posts*. Anyway, I had a blast last night. Chad, Katie, Geoff and I went over to Emily's house. We played Michiganopoly for a while and Emily and I plotted to merge with Chad against Geoff and Katie. But Chad didn't want to for some reason. It was all in the spirit of fun. After the guys left, Emily and Katie and I had a long, serious *somewhat at least* discussion about certain issues, then watched movies. fun:-)Random thought: I love Ginger snaps. But my favorite cookies are White Chocolate Macadamien Nut. Yummy! I love how in the questionaire Emily said I made her more sarcastic.
