EIGHTEEN DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

FIRST, thanks for following, Glow Fish!!!
Second, I might have mentioned this yesterday...If I did, sorry for being repetitive: there's a Carpe Diem Christmas Countdown button on the sidebar, if you want to take it, be my guest :)

Okay, so in the spirit of Santa, here are 18 things I want for Christmas (in a perfect world, of course; I'm not holding my breath :))

1. A camera - No more asking Lizzy for hers!

2. A better straightener - Frying-hair-by-going-over-it-four-times-with-a-straightener-that-only-goes-up-to-250, FTL!

3. A treadmill - Maybe then I can get my butt out of the computer chair -.-

4. Harry Potter books

5. Pendragon books

6. The third Gallagher Girl book: "Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover"

7. iTunes gift cards

8. Journals - What can I say, I fill them up so fast!

9. Barnes & Noble gift cards

10. Bobby pins

11. An iHome - They play music, have an alarm clock, a regular clock, and they charge your iPod! What's not to like???

12. An older brother (but I do have KnightWing :)) - I'm not going into this for the millionth time, LOL!

13. Black Amethyst lotion from Bath & Body Works - It's "my" scent.

14. A Time-Turner

15. A gift for math and science - A girl can dream, can't she?

16. To write a story I don't look back on with disgust a year later - :-/ *sigh*

18. To be the best witness for Christ I can be.

So, yeah :) Now...

Wanna see our...

Our GIANT, TEN-FOOT Christmas tree??Aaand the smaller one we have for downstairs (it's artificial)?
Aaaaand a picture of me and Lizzy from every Christmas?
Aaaaaaand the organ that was my great-grand...something's?

Aaaaaaaaand (part of) my mom's Christmas tree collection?
Aaaaaaaaaaand the holly-berry-tinsel-twine-stuff in my room?

Paige

It's Picture Day! I know this isn't very creative, but this is a picture of Paige, the main character in my book "The Mirror". It looks EXACTLY like her. It couldn't have been better if I had drawn it myself. (Not that I can draw, lol!) Anyway, I'm hoping this will spark my creativity and get rid of my writer's block...so far, NOT WORKING. *sigh*

-------------------

My grandpa is coming today! He's supposed to be here in like seven minutes. He lives about four hours away, so we don't see him much. He hasn't even seen the house all finished! He's going to be so surprised to see how far it's come since he saw it when it was under construction.

Uh-oh...

I just realized I haven't really cleaned my room up a whole lot...

Gotta go! Ttyl!

The Scarlet Pimpernel and Organized Chaos

Hi! Sorry about that forest post. The boredom of today was getting to my head. I'm not bored anymore though.

After watching episodes of I Dream of Jeanie until I was ready to shoot myself, I discovered a giant box of my stuff that hadn't been unpacked yet! YAY! I had something to do! I started unpacking and did that for about an hour. Then I went upstairs to fix frozen pizzas for dinner.

Yeah, I made dinner. Me. Kendra. YES, ME, OKAY?! I know I'm super not the cooking type, but I made pizzas anyway (what skillz, right?). It wasn't my idea, it was my dad's, but oh well. I can do dinner once a week. Not a problem. Hopefully.

Anyway, so I didn't burn the pizzas, but my room is a wreck now. I have half the box unpacked (it really was huge), but a lot of it I don't even want anymore. I'm just gonna give it away or store it in the attic or something. *shrugs* I don't know. But it is NOT going in my beautiful new room. Lol! I'm not really a super neat person , but I want to keep this room nice. (Organized and neat are not the same thing. I'm organized, but messy. I know where everything is, but no one else can ever find anything. Organized chaos. That's me.)

So in a second, I'm gonna try to get some sort of order back in my room before eight o'clock when the family is going to watch The Scarlet Pimpernel on TV. I reeeeeally hope it's the version with Jane Seymore and Anthony something in it. I haven't seen the "other" version, but I love the Jane/Anthony one so I hope it's that one.

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a really good movie. I highly recomend it. It's about a man who helps aristocrats escape the guillotine during the French Revolution. But it's not like a documentary or anything (considering that didn't really happen, duh), though. It's a really cool love story with lots of cool history and action and plotting and clever people. (No cute guys, but hey, the plot is better than a lot of stuff with hotties in it ;) )

Well, off to unpack! Have a good evening! Carpe noctem!
