Blah.

I was looking at my favorite blog, and I found a giveaway! I am so excited about this one! I have the luck! ;) It's for a cute hair clip from Amelia Bedelia Design! Check it out! Click on the button!
                           







That's all I feeling like doing right now. Blah. I am so wiped out from dance and homework. I am so glad we have MEA break next week! I have already had about 10 tests. Very fun! I gotten a great grade on them, no lower than an A-, EXCEPT for one test, which everyone except one kid got a okay score on {or a bad score.} We did retakes, and to be honest with you, the study guide she gave us the second time around was MUCH MUCH MUCH better. I got a A on it! :) We also took a social studies test on the 12. . .? great lakes and we had to list what continent there were on and where they were, and to list 1 fact each for 8 of the lakes. I got a awesome grade on it! :D

Today in science, we did a celery experiment! We put the celery in water for two days, then we observed what happened. I said that the celery w/ leaves would suck up more water, because the leaves need more water. The end result was the celery w/ the leaves sucked up about 135mm of water, out of 25 mm! WOW! The celery with out leaves sucked up way less. My teacher used red water, so you could see the red streaks running up the celery! How cool is that?

I entered Karen's Giveaway on Caelen's blog, and I WON! I received the prizes on Tuesday, and they are so cute! I LOVE THE POSTCARDS! I will be using them for my pen pal! I will use the pearl stick on earrings for Rebecca, who doesn't have her plastic ears pierced. :P

I have a friend, and his name is Red!

I have decided to change my NaNo story to something else, because I don't think it would be nearly as fun as starting a brand-new novel. :) It's going to be called 'Flower Power', and I have written only about a page of my 'story', so now the page is like a plot. It won't start the same way I wrote it originally. :)

Yesterday, we had a very, let's just say, colorful dance picnic. We have one every year. This year's theme was 'COLOR BATTLE!' Oh yes! Our team went all out! We had black and red tutus, red hair with messy buns, red stars on our cheeks because out team is called 'Starfire', and red shirts! Our 'buddies', called Xtreme, was also red, so we made up a cheer to go along with out theme, hence the title. Our buddies are the age of 17-18, so they are super nice! We screamed 'RED!!!!!!!' whenever we had a chance. We played  some really fun games, and the food was really good! We had tacos, or 'walking tacos' because the bees were trying to nest in our hair, so every few seconds we would jump out of our seats because of our hair! :)

I had a very colorful weekend with my crazy friends. :)

I made another button! Feel free to take it if you agree! ;) It's under {share the love} on the side bar.

BOO!

Hey Girls! I got my blog design up, and can I say, it's adorable!! It took me about 10 minutes, because of no background, and a simple header! I also emailed those who ordered a design back with only a banner, because I love white backgrounds right now.

Speaking of design, I will have to close Dancing In The Rain {blog design} because I am way too busy with homework every night, and dance 15 hours a week. Sorry! :(


On the brighter side, I made a NEW blog for Piper the Pipe-Cleaner! Check it out, and try not to notice the matching blog design for now. . .;) Piper the pipe-cleaner's blog

What are you girls going to be for Halloween? I will be a gothic angel! :) I will be sure to post pictures!

Thank Goodness It's Friday!

Wow! Where has the weeks gone?? It's already the second week of school! Dance and homework has really really kept me busy! My teacher is super nice, but there is one boy in my class that constantly gets in to trouble, but hopefully that won't be for long! :)

Sadly, because our school changed lunch caterings, we no longer have pizza every Friday, because our old one  'gave' us the pizza! But no worries, it's every other Friday now! And you guessed it, today was {The Leaning Tower Of} Pizza! {Pisa!} ;) Did you know they had to fix the Pisa Tower because it leaned too much? They had to make it go upright a little more, but it's still leaning, because who would want to go to a plain ol' {not-so leaning} Tower Of Pizza Pisa?

We are reading 'Where The Red Fern Grows' in reading, and it IS SO AMAZING{ly} sad and awesome!! :( Don't tell me what happens if you read it, I got to the part with the deadly ax. . . And I read the last page. . .two little mounds. . .*tear* 

I got to start my dance solo Tuseday   Tuesday {I can't speel anymore!!} and it's to 'It's Raining Men' Haha. Laugh all you want, I can't hear ya! ;) It's super cool because I get a BEDAZZELED UMBRELLA! WOOT WOOOT! So fun! Also, our small group this year is to 'This Song' and it's LYRICAL! I LOVE LYRICAL! It's new to us because all the years before that we did Jazz! :)

How is school for you girls so far? Fun? Boring? Horrible?

EDIT: Can you see the menu bar {the first gadget on the sidebar, had circles} or is it gone?

The Break is now DONE!

Hi Girlies!!

How was your {{second}} week of school? It was only my first week. :) It went great though! I know mostly everyone in my class, and my teacher is super nice and awesome and "just". :) I got tons of homework, as always, but that's what you can expect from a college-prep school! ;)

I got my first letter today from my awesome pen-pal, AJ! {{follow and comment these blogs: http://myworldandthecolorpink.blogspot.com/ and http://miniandmagnificent.blogspot.com/ }} She sent me a picture of herself, and she is SO pretty! She sent me the letter on KIRSTEN LARSON stationary, plus Kirsten's stickers and envelope! Just how awesome is she???? She even makes her own cards and sells them!! :D


My {not that long} break was pretty good for me, because I had tons of homework and dance!! Thanks for bearing with me on the break, you girls are awesome!

Dance! It started up, and boy, are there late nights! I get home, usually go straight to dance, unless it starts at 5 or 6, dance 'tlll about 8:30, and it's time for bed! Notice how there isn't any homework time? :) On Wednesdays, I go from school to dance and home at 9 o'clock! I was so tired, I started crying! :(

The new blog design will be up around October 1st or even before the end of September! :) Just a FYI moment! :)

Did you know Fall started?? Our first day of school was nice and warm. . .then. . .BAM!! It was freezing cold! I always wear pajama pants when it's cold, also instead of snowpants, because I saw a high schooler do that, and it caught on at the lower school campus:) I so can't wait for HALLOWEEN! I will share what I will be soooooon! :) I can't wait for Thanksgiving either, and the fall leaves to fall!! I love fall so much, can you tell? :)


Don't forget about the doll chat on Sunday at 12 o'clock AM Central Time!! :)
Have a GREAT weekend! I have homework to do. . .:)

Hip Hop and Bunnies {How they relate}

  {Just a heads up-I will be doing more longer posts about twice a week, rather than a short one 5-6 times week because now I am annoying myself looking through all my short posts and not a long one in sight to read ;)}


  You are probably confused out of your MIND right now, hence the title, Hip Hop and Bunnies {How they relate} I did NOT use Google to find out what hence means! I promise... 
 {What does Hip Hop have to do with anything?}
I am taking a Hip Hop class this week, Monday through Wednesday {Which also means Dance Moms and Toddlers and Tiaras!! EEK!} and lemme say, my two friends and I were Ballet Dancers gone bad the first day...
We actually got TONS better today! :)

{What does Bunnies have to do with anything?}
It has to do with everything. ;)

{How do they relate?}
:D My two friends and I looked like Bunnies doing Hip-Hop the first day! :) Now we look pretty normal!! Yipppee!

This is actually only my second time doing hip hop, and same with my other friend. :)

{Why are so sore?}
Because the last two nights I have been waking my mom up at 2-3 a.m. by coughing. I had to sleep on the couch so I wouldn't wake anyone else up and my shoulders hurt so bad now! :(

{Do you like to watch Dance Moms?} 
I have only watched it on the computer because its on the same time as Toddlers and Tiaras, but I L.O.V.E to watch it! I like to watch because I dance, also. I heard its also A.C.T.I.N.G.

{Do you LOVE to watch Toddlers and Tiaras?}
I LOVE IT!!! L.O.V.E!! :) I think I like Dances Moms a tiny bit better, though! I said if for whatever reason I had to quit/take a long break from dance, I would do pageants. ;)

{BYE!}
