Today I spent most.....well....all of my time playing video games, watching TV, and decorating my computer desktop. I also came up with the idea to read the story of Jesus Birth before Dec. 25. My Myspace is here my computer picture is above (by the way the snowflakes fall right down the screen) Well stay tuned because tommorow were getting our tree and the day after WERE DECORATING!!!

-----Dec. 13-----

Today wasn't as exciting as it shoulda been, but it still was quite fun. I started out chillin' with my dad and watchin' TV. Then I went and played a little video games until I went to my dance class. When my God sister picked me up from dance class she took me to go get something to eat and on the way there we saw some lights on a hill and she took me up to Pepper dr. Now your expecting me to tell you of some story of us getting a tree or decorating, but I didn't today because my Mom got sick. So tomorrow is when I'm going to get the tree and DECORATE!!!! So stay tuned.

Well Today was quite fun. We started out by chilling at home until I went with my Mom, Brother, and his friend Alex. We searched through the trees and found the perfect one and had Andy, my brother, and Alex put it in the truck and drive it home. Then for the rest of the day I decorated and worked on getting the strands of lights full of working bulbs. I worked well into the night and finally fell asleep.

D DAY!!!! Not that D day. Decoration day. Today I woke up early grabbed some breakfast and got straight to work. I put up a tree of lights hanging from the ceiling with a star at the top. Then put some icicles at the top of the porch and lights stringing all the way around it. I then took some of these special lights and put them in the bushes and windows then decorated the steps. It was so fun to see all of them together like that. They all looked so beautiful and I really love them.Tommorow I'm having a Limo pick me up at my home for my friend Stephen Moores B-day.

-----Dec. 16-----

I felt like a star today as a limo picked me up right at my home. It was a hummer limo that drove me and my friends all over town for My friend Stephen Moores B-day. But before I did any of this I had to do homework and well of course watch the game that Got the Chargers into the playoffs. Well I gotta go. It's really late and It's a school night.

-----Dec. 17-----

Today wasn't the most exciting day ever, but it wasn't bad. I went to school and just came home and chilled.....Thats it, but the great thing was my Dad got up and drove for the first time in a long tim today. Oh yah explain. FAor most of you you might already know that my Dad had surgery, but if you don't well he had surgery. It was on his lower back and he is finnally able to drive. Thats probably one of the best Christmas presents right there is to see my Dad feeling good enough to drive. The rest of this week isn't going to be planned or expected except for three things 1. Christmas Shopping on the 21st 2. Christmas eve party at my Grandmothers Church and house and 3. Christmas Day when I get to open my presents and have a great day So stick around.

Oh the wonders of Winter. Alirghty then. Stick with me cause for the next couple days we'll be doing more Christmas shopping.

Sry I didn't type this yesterday, but it was soooooooooooo busy. I started out by going to Cris' house for my music lesson. Then my Mom and me went to this new mall in Otay and did some Christmas Shopping. We got some stuff for my Dad and Cousin and such. Then I went to my Dance lesson where I almost died from all the working we did. They made us do 130 crunches about a minute of holding our own weight, and 10 push-ups. And thats it. I came home and played video games then went to sleep.

-----Dec. 21-----

Today was more laid down then yesterday, but it wasn't like the day before yesterday. I started out by being woken by a few animals falling on top of me because my brother decided to drop the dog and cat on me. I then chilled and watched Tv until my Mom came home. She brought with her some more Christmas presents. I then went with my parents to the same mall as yesterday to get some more shopping in. And thats it. Yep. OK. Well. Yah. OK. Yah. Ttyl.
