I'm kind of mad at myself for not posting anything in the last few days. I probably won't be able to post anything new until Monday.. sorry! I have a lot to catch up on and I will definitely make a super long post as soon as I can.

No More..

I just can't do this anymore. The whole "wait until the next day to write about what happened" thing. By the time it comes to write about the previous day, I've already forgotten stuff. So, yeah. Definitely not doing that anymore. Except for right now because I didn't write about it yesterday. My mom, Steph, Rebecca, Sofia, Nyjah, and I went birthday shopping for Nyjah's 1st birthday, yesterday. First we went to Babies "R" Us and got a few things. (A few stuffed animals, a new high chair, and a bib.) We then went to Chick-fil-A and got some food. When we were done eating, we went to Target to get stuff for Nyjah's cake and cake-pops.. he is going to have a lion themed party, so my mom is going to make little lion cake pops. And then we went home. The End. I am going to go play hide and seek with my little sisters now.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, I made another button. But, other than that.. nothing.

Thanksgiving. I'm pretty excited. Yesterday my mom told me that she ordered four pies, rolls, and a ham. At first I was like, "Why are you ordering food?" and, "Why are you getting a ham?" She then told me that she was also going to make a two more pies and a turkey. (Plus, a whole bunch of sides.) You must be thinking, "Wow, that's a LOT of food for six people!" Well, it is. But it's not going to just be six people! My sister, Sarah, and her family will be joining us. So, nine people (and two babies). Also, if they are able to make it, we will be joined by Amy, Jason, Drea, and Jeremy Alvarez. If they do come to California, they will be staying with family of theirs that live about 45 min. away from us. The next day, we will be celebrating my nephew's first birthday. My sister is still trying to plan so I don't know exactly what we will be doing, but, when I do, I will let you know. Hmm.. I sure wish my sister, Crissy, and her family could join us, but no. :| Hopefully they will visit soon. *hint hint*

Super DUPER nothing. I'm finding myself really wanting to blog. But, like I said, there is nothing. Nothing exciting. Nothing new. Maybe I'll blog later today..

Pretty uneventful day. Went with my mom to Choir practice at 6:00 p.m. and ate some delicious curry that my papa made for dinner. Hopefully today will be more exciting.

Okay! Idea! Every day I am going to write about the previous day. And, as you probably figured out, the title will be the date I'm writing about. So, yesterday was a pretty good day. It started out as mildly boring. I woke up, went downstairs and ate breakfast. Vanilla Special K. Mmmm. A bit later I went back upstairs, I cleaned the loft and got on the computer. Got on thesixtyone, Facebook, Twitter, and Blogger. When I was done on the computer I went downstairs and my mom told my we were going out to eat for dinner and to go get ready. I have no idea why we always go out to dinner so early, but we left home around 3:30 p.m. We went to Hometown Buffet. Yeah.. gross. The only good things there were the rolls and the orange chicken. We sat for a while and talked. We left around 5:30. On the way home I begged my dad to take us to Barnes & Noble. And.. he did! We stayed there for about two hours. Yeah, it was pretty fun. At home, I hung out with my papa for a bit. He was playing chess and quietly singing. I love listening to my dad sing. I asked him what it was.. he said it was Clodomiro. I did this and that for a couple hours and then went to watch Saturday Night Live with my sister, Stephanie. It ended at 1:00 a.m. I fell asleep within 10 minutes of laying down in my bed. And there you have it. Now it is today and that is a story for tomorrow.

Fresh Start

Well this is just ridiculous. I did it again. Said I would start blogging more and then I didn't. I figured out the problem, though. Every time I thought I was going to start blogging again, it was always for someone else. This time, it's for me. I want something I can just pour my thoughts into, and not care who sees it. If you've seen my blog before, you may have seen that I deleted all my past posts. I will blog everyday. Each post could be anywhere from a couple sentences to a full page. This is my fresh start.
