Up at Grandma's!

Hooray! We are here at Grandma Inwards for Easter!

Nicole and me woke up at 7:30 this morning and watched
murder by death, the greatest movie ever. sort of.

Nicole is yelling at me, so I'll write more later...
we need oatmeal cream pies!!!

Company of Liars

Company of Liars
Karen Maitland

This was an exciting book, both extremely well-written and
shocking at several points. I was confused, delighted, and
very intrigued throughout the story. Well done, Karen Maitland!

This book follows the adventures of nine travelers, during the
year of the pestilince, the black death, or whatever. But each
has a story... and their outer story is a facade. But when members
of the company suddenly are slaughtered by a mysterious wolf,
Camelot, (who the story's perspective is from) begins to learn of
the other's dark pasts.

A must read!

Sorry!

to all folks who read my blog:

I'm so sorry! I know, I know, life without
eeeeemy's blog is like life without Viggo
Mortenson... but never fear, I'm back!

Right now, I am involved in track.

I am tired. Exceeeeedingly tired. Its' everyday
after school till 5 PM, aka 2 hours five days a
week. And since I (crazily) signed up all
these cold days. It ain't pleasant.

Also, I recently returned from the most excellentfor long

distance, I've been running almost 4 miles every

single day!!! My legs are sore, my throat is always

parched, and I think I have pnemonia from

vacation I have ever taken. It was so relaxing...
situated on a lake, the apartment-sized building
is super cozy and welcoming. Leaving was more
painful than doing the plank for 2 minutes straight
after your 4 miles are over. (That doesn't feel
particularly pleasant.) I have pictures, maybe I'll
download them on here later.

Grandparentals

Today was both tasty, funny, and extremely enjoyable.
Not to mention that my grandparentals are in town,
and we got to totally hang out with them all night.

It was tasty because I consumed hot chocolate, goldfish,
frosted flakes, Carbone's Pizza, European Chocolate, and
expired hot tamales.

What a day, eh?

It was funny because Elise came over, and us four were
bored TILL we discovered that jumping off couches is
actually fun, and you can take great pictures of yourself
flying.

And who wouldn't want to take pics of themselves flying?

It was extremely enjoyable for reasons I'm too lazy to
repeat. I know you're sad.

Get over it. (-:

Anyway, I hope you all had a good day.
Have you eaten anything tasty lately that I haven't?

Grandma's!

Yay! I'm up at grandma's house right now, sleeping in late,
cooking Black and White Brownies, and and eating WAY
too much food.

It's intensely relaxing, let me tell you.

It's too bad my other cousins, Nicole and Leah couldn't
come up too, but they aren't on spring break right now,
so it's just me, Megan, Brita, and grandma.

Unfortunately, Megan and Brita interrupted me watching
Lost last night so that Brita could watch Garfield. Brita
started crying - not kidding. So I let them watch and then
stayed up till eleven o' clock watching House and NCIS,
reading a book, and being bored on the computer.

Quite the night.

Then this morning, I slept in till 9:15. Very late.

Anyway, I am now happily relaxing on a couch on with a
fuzzy blanket while the two little kids watch some boring
movie which was made to be funny for children under the
age of 6.

My sister's are 7 and 10.

But I'm warm and happy, so I'll let it go this once...

History Day... YAWN

Well, yesterday was spent wasted away stuck in a stuffy
building surronded by history day projects and hideous
carpet.

Why would anyone in their right mind waste a Saturday
glazed-eyed and shopping-less? Because they were forced
to enter a history day project, that's why.

That was the position me, Zach, Molly, and Margaret were
in, and we hated it. We spent our time taking pictures,
playing hang-man, and eating.

And that's about it. We knew that our little mental asylum
(about Dorothea Dix) wouldn't win, so why did we have
to waste five hours there? I don't know, and I don't think
I ever will, but those are five hours I will never have back.

(I was in such a sorry state when I arrived at home that the
rest of the day was spent watching Lord of the Rings,
commentary on. Sigh.)

Book CLub

I had so much fun at book club last night!
It was held at Georgia's house, and though
it was me and my mom's first time, I knew
everyone except for Katy (Katie?), so it was
fine. We discussed the book My Sister's Keeper,
which was just perfect for debating, because
there's just so much to debate!

We were situated in Georgia's comfy basement,
and supplied with bagel sandwiches and San
Pelligrino.

Bagel sandwiches and San Pelligrino pretty much
assure one of a good time.

Everyone had varied opinions about the book.
It's so controversial, it's hard to even have one
opinion... I can't believe an author can think of
such an idea as Jodi Picoult did.

We all discussed how we hated the mom, for instance,
and several minutes later, we were agreeing
about how horrible we felt for her, and how
we might have done the same in her place.

Of course, once we finished the discussion, we
got insanely off topic, and the night ended with
us girls telling Women Jokes and Stupid Jokes.

So fun.
