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

So, What's Your Favorite Season?

Thanks to the {13} people who voted on my poll! The results were. . .

Autumn- 11 people {84%}

Winter- 4 people {30%}

Spring- 3 people {23%}

Summer- 4 people {30%}

The winner of the poll was Autumn, with 11 votes. Second was tied with Summer and Winter, both with 4 votes. I am so surprised by that! Summer. . .no homework.. . .no school. . .see what I mean? ;)
Third place was Spring! I love Spring! :(

I finished the book I was talking about, Where The Red Fern Grows, and. . .and. . .*tear*
We just started Island of The Blue Dolphins , and so far, it's a great book! It's sad from the beginning, though. It's probably not my in my top 20, yet. :)

Tomorrow, I have a dance picnic! I am so excited, because this year has a theme of Color Battle! Our team, Starfire,has the color RED! Our team moms made so cute red and black TUTUS and we will be having a red tank top on top, with out hair dyed red, and I will be wearing my pink sparkly converse with black laces to match! So excited! I also have dance before that!


The new poll is up, and the question is 'Do you like/read my blog?' :) Just a random question, inspired by CAROLYN!

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!

Check out this giveaway for a cute halloween costume! http://daydreamdollboutique.blogspot.com/2011/09/happy-halloween-giveaway.html?showComment=1317510415583#c8040463487384883936

Woof!

  {Wow! Almost a week without posting! New record! ;)}

 Autumn started the 26th! And lately, Mother Nature has been really showing us that!  Haha! Sorry the pictures are upside down, blame Blogger! ;) It was really blowing outside today! I was almost afraid there was going to be a tornado! But where we live, no tornado has ever dared to set upon us. . .*raised up eyebrow*
I love Autumn! But sadly, that means the start of. . .

cold season! *sniffle* Zeke and I already got hit by it! ;) But today, and I had really sore throat all day, so we went to the doctor's. Took a strep/sore throat test, and the results came back as a no. I even skipped dance because I felt so horrible! :( I never skip dance! 

 On the bright  other side, I have a science test on Monday. It was going to be today, but our science teacher was gone, and just came back today, which meant a sub. She was from New Jersey, I loved her accent! Anyways, we didn't get to review enough like the other classes did, so ours got pushed to Monday. I studied all throughout recess today! :) I also played four-square, which means shoe marks on the back of my papers. . .;)

 Spirit wear is tommorow! That means we get to wear our 'house' shirts, like in Harry Potter! My mom actually is the leader of the four {?} houses! How cool is that?  'Persequentes' and 'Exellentia' is Perseverance and Excellence in Latin, which we learn instead of Spanish/French/ect.  They come from our Pillars, also know as 'CIPHER' which stands for. . .

{UGH! IT'S UPSIDE DOWN!!!}

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. . .:)

School. . . and Guess That Doll!

I will be starting school in four days, which means I have to finish my math packet, and try to sort my time out, also, for homework. The reason for that is because I have a packed week with dance, plus 6+ sheets of homework a night. That might cause posts weeks apart, or no posts for a week. I do have some open days of my week, but not many, so I will try to post, and schedule some posts, too. If you happen to notice I haven't posted for over a week, Please drop me a comment, because I get an email whenever someone comments! Thanks! :) I am very sorry in advance if I don't post as much as normal! If you girls would like, you should check out my very oldest posts, by clicking "Older Posts" or, going the the blog archive! Thanks again for understanding!


Enough of the sadness, MORE WITH GUESSING!!!! That's right! A new GTD! Here it is!! Winner will get a blog header!

I had a dream. . .

  Not that type of dream! ;) I had a dream that someone hacked my blog, and erased all of my posts and wrote new ones! They also took off my background and moved a bunch of things on the sidebar. It was one of those dreams that are so real that you almost cry if the dream is about something bad. I was *probably* in about tears when I found out my whole blog was messed up horribly.

Call me a nerd, but wouldn't YOU cry, or even just a little bit, if your blog was messed up and all of your memorable posts were gone, and maybe even all your followers you worked hard for? Are you misty-eyed now just thinking about it? Huh? Huh? ;)

I hope to have another "Say What??" contest, because only two people entered, but that's okay because I know people are/were super busy with getting ready for school. I bet you girls didn't notice that Rebecca was actually holding a balloon! You could only see the string though. And the winner of the FULL blog makeover, is, Pryia! Congrats!!! Please email me at my Chunkey Monkey email so we can work out the details. Thanks!

I GOT MY FRONT HANDSPRING TODAY! I had it on the long tumble tramp at gymnastics, but since most people don't own a long trampoline, my bestie, Meerah, is amazing at teaching herself moves, such as a front brandi. {Don't ask what it is, I don't either!} She also is in the circus! I NEED to go to the circus, because that's where I belong! ;) Even my teacher agrees! ;)

Happy September, girlies! It's officially the first day of September! Who has already started school? I start on the 12th.  We got assigned a 20 page, front and back, and I still have 8 and 1/2 pages left. But that's not too bad! I can't wait to start school! But sadly, my bestie, Meerah, {who is a follower} isn't in my class! :( I entered American Girl Contest a couple of weeks ago, and the first theme is "Celebration". I got to take the photo tonight, and I will also send in my head shot after I edit it. :)

Look at the new header!

It will be up as soon as school starts in Sept.
