-sigh-

Today was a very boring day... I had nothing to do, I was incredibly bored all day. And I'm not going to earn the last $25 I need to get my hair died all because my parents decided not to go out to dinner (?!?!) and I don't even know why!!!! Anyways, I at least get to hang out with my friend this thursday. Then I'll have something to do at least :):) That's exciting. I hope tomorrow goes by fast so Thursday will come sooner.

I'm still kind of sick (sadly). But I'm slowly getting better. I cannot tell you how much water I've drank in the past 4 days. Easily 100 bottles. Haha maybe not that much but you get the point. I go back to school in a week. :(:( I really don't want to. Break has just been so nice for me... until I got sick and had no plans of any kind! But even then I don't wanna go back to the slave trading facility they call school!

Oh... where was I going with that again?? Oh yea! By me going back to school that means I won't be able to write as often so you'll be hearing a lot less from me over the next coupld of weeks. And I haven't been able to go to church recently either because we are technically on break for the holidays from that too. I really like church so that kinda bums me out. Church is really the only thing I get to do outside of school that doesn't have to do with me getting an education. Technically...

Well... I don't really have anything else to say. Can't wait til Thursday!!!! :):):):):):):):):):) OH! I figured out how to do a smiley face witha mustache!!! It's like : { ) (isn't he cute!!!!????) Ok Bye :)

I told my parents that I was going to get one and did they believe me? Of course not. But now do they?? Of course they do!! Haha. I hope you guys are having an amazing Christmas and I hope it continues to be awesome!! (I think this is my shortest post O.0) God Bless!! Merry Christmas!!!!

iiChristmas Eve!!

(How do you like my attempt at putting upside down exclamation points before Christmas??) Hahaha. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!! And since I probably won't be able to post tomorrow... MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I think the thing I like most about Christmas (besides awesome presents from the fam) is being able to get together and have a good time together. This year, however, my darling cousins (who live 6 hours away) can't make it down here for Christmas this year :( And neither can my cousins from Dallas. But my aunt from Dallas is having some medical problems so... That's more understandable. But we are all going to be together again for New Years :):)

I forgot to write an entry in my Thought Journal yesterday... (ooopppsss) But I can just kind of type what comes to me I guess... No? Ok fine. If y'all are reading this and you have a Blogger account, (and even if you don't) then comment on this post of some of your favorite Christmastime memories. I always love hearing my Nana and my parentals tell stories about their Christmas' past. I personally think that it's a very interesting thing to hear about what they would do for Christmas, or some funny things that happened on Christmas. (And my mom has a very comical brother so I know there were some funny memories on her side ;) )

Or, if you don't have any fun memories to share, then just tell me what you'd either like to get or what you got for Christmas. I hope y'all get some good stuff. I helped pick out some of the presents for my family so... I kind of have an "inside scoop" as to what they're getting. That makes me feel special. I hope to hear from you guys on the whole memories and presents thing. I really do want to hear from you guys. God Bless and have a very safe and Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Possible Titles... hmm

In this entry I think I'll tell you a little bit about my family. Ok? Ok. Well... first of all there's my mama. She's a manager for one of the places she works at... The place she works at has 3 different parts. She's the manager of the second part. My daddy works as a sleep technician... basically he watches people sleep and sees what their breathing problems are. Then there's me :) the oldest child. I'm a freshman and I'm (technically) an intern where my mom works. I mainly just sort paperwork and run errands and stuff like that. Then there's my darling sister, C. She is adopted from China. She just started Kindergarten this year (and loves it!!!) I am so proud to be her big sister. She's such a bright girl and I love her dearly. Then there's my baby brother K. Ok, so he's not really a baby. He just started pre school this year and he is quite the popular kid there. He is also adopted from China on a special needs adoption. He has some amniotic banding on his left arm and only has the top part of his arm and one finger. He's such a bright little boy always showing his determination to be the best. I'm also proud to be his big sister.

When I first started dealing with another sibling here to share the attention, I'll admit I wasn't exactly thrilled. It was a little tough for me at first but now I am so excited to have, not just one, but two little gremlins running around here wreaking havoc. But they are such a joy to have around here. No matter what kind of day you're having, they'll always do something at the end of it to put a big smile on your face.

This week has been, actually, pretty slow. I've really just been babysitting all week. C's birthday was on Monday. Umm.... I can't really think of anything else that's happened this week so I'm just going to type up a little bit of my second entry.

Our Christmas plans are pretty much the same as every year. On Christmas Eve (Friday) we are going over to my Nana's house to open the gifts that she got us. Then we are coming back home to open the gifts that we got each other. I hope I get some cool stuff from them this year. I think this is the first year that I can actually appreciate clothes as a Christmas present. Haha (:) Along with a few other things ;)

I hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. To me, that signifies a fresh start. Nothing from 2010 follows you into 2011. You are a new person. God Bless all of y'all! (Omgness totally Texan right there) And I hope you guys get some awesome gifts!!

Entry #1

Basically, this blog is going to be about thoughts that I have pertaining to my life.

Recently, I had kind of an... epiphany you might say. Something just hit me in the back of my head saying "Wow, I think I need to make a few changes to my life." I'm not exactly sure what brought all this on but, what I do know is, I need to listen to that feeling in the back of my head because I think it could definately help me in life.

Anyways, I have written this first entry at least twice already. Once on my cell phone and once on a computer document. I think that I'll (hopefully) be posting on here more than my other blogs that I've tried to keep going. So... without and further babble, here is my first thought.

Ok... I think I'm going to make some changes to my life. After my parents cleaned out my room for me, it showed me that I need to be a cleaner person and be more organized in my life. I mean sure, I was pretty organized before... so I thought. I know I can be a cleaner person. I can clean my room a lot more often. I can keep my laundry more under control. I can even take better care of myself. Sure, I shower regularly, I take good care of myself and everything but (as much as I hate to say it) I could lose a few pounds. My mom told me that, starting January 1, I'm only going to eat out once a week and hopefully that will help me lose a few pounds. And considering I'm so self conscious about my weight, this should be a good thing for me.

That was the first entry I wrote last night after a bite from the cleaning bug. Before my parents cleaned out my room, it was just piled with clothes and notebook paper. Sure I said I had intention to clean it but... I never got around to it. I think since I'll (hopefully) stick to this blog alot more then I'll tell you a little bit about myself.

My name is Hannah and I'm a freshman. That alone has been a life changing experience for me. Sure, most of you are probably thinking "what's so bad about going into high school?" Well... if you're thinking that, you obviously haven't gone to high school yet. Anyways, after I got through the issue of high school, I had to work on paying attention more and keeping my grades up so I could stay in marching band. That's right, I'm a band geek. I play clarinet. I used to hate band but now I don't really mind it as much. Some of my interests include: reading, writing (obviously), singing, dancing, listening to pretty much every kind of music, and hanging out with my friends from church. I'm one of those girls who's kind of... out there. I'm not exactly your average girl that you see walking down the street. I'm completely and totally original :). But then again, who isn't?

Sorry if you think I'm babbling. Like I said I'm blogging about my thoughts pretty much. And as I'm writing this, more and more thoughts seem to be popping into my head. The thoughts of a teenage girl are, alot of times, about random things. About, what they're going to wear, what they saw on the bottom of their shoe... anything they think of really.

Well... I'll save the rest of these fantabulous thoughts for next time. Thanks for reading!!
