Fall!

I guess I'm a day or so late, but oh well!

I love fall! All the pretty leaves and those wonderful apples (the leaves especially)... I love the cool crisp air, I love the icy nights and I love Halloween and Thanksgiving! I don't look forwards to the season, but when it's here I can't help but smile. Summer has been, and I'm pretty sure always will be, my favorite season since you can swim but I love each and everyone.

So yay for fall!

Another happy thing is that my grandparents (father's side) are visiting soon, so I'm very, very excited! I'm flooded with all this online schoolwork, and I want to get the bulk of it done before they come, so cross your fingers for me!

Anyhow, here's my post for the next while. I'll try to write soon!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love thanksgiving. My favorite part is that Daddy gets to stay home for FOUR WHOLE DAYS!!!!!!!!! It's wonderful.
Also, I love the food. Normally, we would make a divine vegan thanksgiving (with tofurky--my personal favorite--and corn and mashed potatoes and bunches of other stuff), but we're all going on a diet for my joint pains so we're sort of skipping that part.


Things to be thankful for:

1. My most wonderful family.
2. A nice cozy house.
3. A computer (hehe).
4. That I have delicious and healthy food.
5. That the sky is blue (I love that color; if it were any other it just wouldn't be right).
6. That Nana is coming over today.
7. That Dear Sister and I are so very close.
8. That my two little brothers are so wonderful.
9. That my parents are so supporting and loving.
10. And most of all, I'm thankful to be me. I wouldn't be anyone else, anywhere else, for anything.

Really Not Fair

Yeah, I'm sick too. I just got over chicken pox, I'm even still covered in scabs (those are SO hard not to pick at), and yet I got sick again.

Thanks Giving was AWESOME though, so that made up for it. We all hanged out and ate DELICIOUS food. Then we played Pictionary. There are only two things I'd like to change about it: I'd make us all NOT sick, and that we could find the recipe that we've been looking forwards to all year: Pumpkin Cinnabons. Other than that our Thanks Giving was great. We still have leftovers, but I don't think they're going to last much longer.

We got a new faucet and filter, Daddy is installing it right now. It's pretty cool. I can't wait to ust it!

That's it for now. Happy Late Thanks Giving!

Life Is Fun, But NOT Fair

Rose (dear sister's blogger name) is sick. Again. She just had chicken pox, can't she have a break!? Brother1 is sick to. He just had chicken pox.

WHY!!??!!????!!!!?

I'm not sick (well, I'm at the very tail end of chicken pox); yet. I just wish we could all be healthy. Oh well. I hope after this we'll all be healthy for eight years. That would be fair. But life just ain't fair. And that's not fair. 'Fair'... a strange word that we all want, yet is impossible to get. So sad.

Anyway, tomorrow is Thanks Giving! It won't be to big, my Grandmother (we all call her Nana ['na', like in 'tall', not like in 'nanny', then 'uh', like in 'what?']) and her boyfriend Don will be coming, but that's all. It will be fun. We'll hang out and eat delicious food. Mommy and I are going to start Thanks Giving dinner today, if we don't, it won't be done until the day after tomorrow. We need to make the Tofurky, Stuffing, Pumpkin Pie, Gravy, Nut Loaf, Cream Cheese Frosting (for the Pumpkin Cinnabons, see the 'Thanks Giving Menu' post), and Whipped Cream (for the pie).

Well, there are some reasons why life isn't fair. But it is fun.

Kings of Darkness/Thanks Giving

YES!!!

I'm a quarter of the way through Kings Of Darkness! Page #50! (I plan to make it 200 pages) I'm so excited!!! I love my story! I can't wait 'til it's done!!! I've got to go to ballet soon, so I can't post much. Trevor is as cute as always and I can't wait until Thanks Giving! We're going to make tofurky!

We might invite two of Dear Sister's and my friends and their parents to our house for Thanks Giving, as far as we know, they don't have any family around and we owe them, they had us over for movies a while ago! It would be SOOO fun! We'd love to show them a vegan Thanks Giving!!! I hope they can... I better get going... Thanks for reading!

Love,

Fall/Winter

I love the feel of fall/winter! I just took a smell of that cold air... Oh my! It feels like Thanksgiving and Christmas! I love the dark, moist air... the cool and starry nights... I keep forgetting how much I love winter and fall until they come around again! I can't wait until Thanksgiving... We're going to make a tofurky! It was SO delicious last year... My mouth is watering just thinking about it... And I'll make some chocolate pudding... yeah, that sounds good... Any way, for Halloween I'll be a harpy (half bird half woman). I'm not going to go trick-or-treating this year because I'm Vegan and I wouldn't like to be around so much candy. I am going to dress up and go to ballet for some Halloween class, it will be a lot of fun. I plan to make a cake! I love cooking. I make meals for my family all the time now, I made us pancakes for breakfast today. I hope you're as excited about fall as I am!

The end of summer...

Hi!

So summer's over... I miss it already. The thing i'll miss most is swimming! We had to put our pool away yesterday, we were out there forever and it still wasn't done! Daddy, Dear Sister (find her blog at: me-in-general.blogspot.com) and i were doing it for a long time... My left pinkie turned completely white! I'm not kidding! I could barely feel it... We finished it just a little bit ago, mommy would have helped but she had to watch and care for Brother2. As the end of summer approached, i started to fear it... but then i thought of all the wonderful things fall would bring: the gorgeous leaves, Halloween, Not-Back-To-School-Day, Thanks Giving, and of course it will be cooler... If only i could just keep swimming with out freezing to death... But then what would summer be good for? I don't know... It's just my favorite season.
