Madre's birthday was the sixth.  I actually was still not feeling too hot, so I stayed home.  She stayed home.  We got my passport stuff done for when we go on our Seattle/Canada trip for Christmas.

The eighth through the tenth was spent in Orlando with my mom, Uncle Wayne, Aunt Cassandra, cousin Nathanael, Nicholas, Joshua, and Tosha.  We were there celebrating my mom and uncle's birthdays (his was 10/10/10 this year!).  We checked in Friday evening.  Almost got jipped on our sweet suite deal.  My mom, my cousins, and I went to Island of Adventures on Saturday, while Wayne and Cassandra had their first date in ten years (I can't even fathom).  We went to Downtown Disney on Sunday.  I got a super cute Mickey Mouse stuffed animal (-cough- still five -cough-).  It made me want to go to Disney World.  We got our yearly supply of Ghirardelli chocolate.  Got chicken and drinks from Publix, arrived at my abode around 6pm, ate dinner, watched the beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which reminded me, once again, to never watch a movie with that portion of the King family tree.  They have the torturous gift of gab.

I ended up not going to sleep until 2:30am because I had a test the next day (Monday), and had absolutely no time to do any sort of studying/homework/make-up work during the weekend.  I ended up failing to remember to do two Chemistry assignments.  This failure caused my A to be dropped:(.

Uhhhhhh Brianna's birthday was yesterday.  We carved pumpkins at Mutual.  I was unable to find a viking hat to get her (she's of viking ancestry and very proud of that fact) in place of the general crown.

The PSAT was yesterday as well, and was disgustingly easier than it has been these past two years.  I was also a lot more calm about answering the questions, as well.  Even the math.  I know, shocking.

I also had a yearbook meeting on Tuesday, which I was more confident in.  I feel like I'm getting better with this whole leadership role with each meeting.  Reader, I'm making a freaking attendance sheet!  WHAT THE POOP?

How have you been, my lovely?

P.S.  I haven't been to church in what feels like forever, and I missed my favorite Sunday...Fast and Testimony Sunday.  Wahhh...

This Just In

-Grandma walks into room-
Grandma: That was really sweet.
Me: -confusion-
Grandma:  It was a really sweet invitation.
Me:  Oh, thanks.
Grandma:  You're so good.  Good use of words.  ALL THAT READING'S PAID OFF!
Me:  -hysterical laughter- thanks.

So, there you have it, folks.  All of my reading has boiled down to that one invitation card.  I can stop reading now.  Haha.  I love you, grandma.

Just an Update

I have stayed home these past few days.  I have an inner ear infection.  IT'S AWESOME.  Especially the fact that I feel like I have to vomit every time I move.  Sorry for that description.

I'm feeling a little better today.  The world isn't as spinny when I bend over or try to stand up, and I'm not really dizzy sitting down anymore.  I think I'll be back at school tomorrow.

I finally did my online Driver's Ed call for one out of the two phone call assessments that I have to do.  It turns out my teacher lives in the same city as yours truly.  Cool beans?

I've been lacking in my movie/book reads updates.

I tried reading We Die Alone again, and only got to the second or third chapter.  I need a novelist.  Or someone with an amazing story like this guys, who also has amazing writer skills.  Not someone who tells a story like a five year old with a broad vocabulary.  Too harsh?

I've started to read the Agatha Christie book that has been assigned for book club.  I can't remember which one it is, though.  I'm sorry:(.

Over the past month or so I've seen Easy A (don't judge), 10 Things I Hate About you, Some Kind of Wonderful, Rebel Without a Cause (what the crap?), Center Stage... I think that's it, but I feel like I'm missing one.  Wupz.

We went to movie stop about three weeks ago with the intention of trading movies in to get all of the Star Wars movies (I love the fact that this was suggested by my mom), but each Star Wars movie was priced at about twenty dollars, and for the bajillion movies we gave them, we only got $10.64 (or something like that) in return.  So, we got Elizabethtown, P.S. I love you, and 10 Things I Hate About You.  A little more had to be paid, but that's quite alright in our eyes (well, mine, at least.  I love you, mom.).

Tomorrow is my mommy's birthday.  We are going out to dinner tonight with Heather, Ian, Natalie, and my grandma.  Grandma's idea, not mine.  I'm liking the fact that my grandma trusts me to let everyone know and to get everything together.  It gives me something to do while being sick and bored out of my brain.

These were made by yours truly and sent to everyone via e-mail.

I love my mommy:).
