Bits and Pieces of my life as of late...

Hey there!

Long time, no post I know, but longER time, no comment!



For the few that are interested, here's what I got for Christmas: a devotional, a fleece blanket, candy, a cookbook, another book, a tshirt, 12 pairs of socks, flannel drawstring bag for my ski goggles, two coupons for a free snowboard waxing (my sister will wax it for me) and handmade (by another of my sisters) scrapbooking letters.



On to more interesting stuff. On boxing day I went to my aunt's for a Chrostmas get together on my Mom's side. It was really awesome getting to see everyone again! There were several I had not seen in a while, and I got to know my cousin's fiance better. We played Dutch Blitz and Euchre(second time I've ever played so I didn't really do very well). I'm used to playing Dutch blitz with like seven other players, so just three other people and nobody that is REALLY good meant the game seemed so AGoniZinGly SLOW.



The night before I went to another aunt's house (on my dad's side). There we played a simple but fun and challenging hand game and Euchre (for the first time :P) There was a really tempting array of food and sweets but I was full already. I ate anyways...pffft.



On Tuesday we are probably going to have a family day, Wednesday-Thursday is a party somewhere for New Year's Eve/Day...I'm not sure where cuz nobody's figured that out yet, but that's a minor detail :P

On New Years Day I'm going up to Ottawa with my brother and two sisters to visit some friends. On the way up we're gonna stop over and visit my cousin and his wife near Kingston.

Then when I get back from Ottawa I'll have to do school *sigh*

I just realized these ramblings must be pretty boring to read...I'll try to post something more interesting soon.

Buuusy!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...It's kinda busy right now...


Last Friday I went to a friends house...we went snowboarding on the hill in her backyard, made and decorated scrumtitious gingerbread houses, and went for a walk. IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!!!


On Saturday was the Christmas get together on my Dad's side. First we went to a gym and played some sports like ball hockey and volleyball. Then we went to my aunt's house and had a potluck supper. The food was sooo good and, like usual, I ate too much. I got to see my newborn first-cousin-once-removed!!! In English, that's my cousin's newborn baby. Carson is really adorable!!!


Christmas break is quickly approaching...actually it's about to run me over. For me, Christmas break is starting on Friday cuz I am going SNOWBOARDING!!! at snowvalley :D


I got snowpants that I needed on SALE :D They are brown, like my coat, but not the same shade...so if you see the abominable mudman going snowboarding, or at least trying to snowboard, that's actually ME. Don't laugh.

Sooo yeah...buuusy...

Manhunt + Apples to Apples + Scram + Lots of PPL = FFFUUUNNN!!!

Yep, that's what we did. Played 2 games of Manhunt I was caught like somewhere in the middle of both games but that was kind of a win cuz then I ate skittles while waiting for the last few ppl to be found...I wouldn't have been caught, at least not right then, if my friend hadn't looked in the awesome hiding spot I showed her and if my brother had took the "Doi" to mean "Yes, I've been caught" instead of "No, I haven't been caught but I want you to think I have". We ended on the 2nd game even though we had only been playing for about an hour cuz of our not-so-nice neighbour (to put it nicely). A couple ppl accidentally went a bit past where the fence that the neighbour had rolled back a couple years ago (long story short - so our animals could get on his land so that he could get us in trouble or something like that). He saw them and started yelling about calling the cops for trespassing or something like that sooo yeah everybody kinda just wnet inside after that.
We ate snacks before going downstairs. Two games of Apples to Apples started up, and one game of Scram (a game using a pool table and balls but for lots of ppl). I played Apples to Apples, and won the green cards "Inspirational" and "Hopeless". I judged for the green card "Idiotic" once, but before I actually judged I handed it to my sister Jenny, just to tease her. She won it anyways with the red card "Prince Charming". :P Sooo much fun!!!
Then the cops showed up...my parents weren't home and there were tons of teens so like awkwaaard! But my older brother talked to them and nothing significant happened cuz we've had tons of problems with our neighbour and they know that. After that ppl started leaving - ironically the ppl who had the farthest to drive were the last ones to leave.

Short little blurb - Friday night I went to watch the hockey game my friends play at with some of my other friends :)
- Sunday night I went over to a friends house and they *deep breath* havethisbighillandtheyhavesnowandyahyouguesseditIwentsnowboardingforlikethefirsttimethisyearandthefirsttimeonmysnowboardand EEEEEEEEEEE!!! it was AWESOME!!!

FUUUN TIIIMESSS!!!
