Randomness

I don't really have anything specific to write about. At least not really. I've been wracking my brain for days to come up with something, and it's just not working. So, I decided to just make up a post with lots of little, random things. Which I suppose that's the way to do it most times. Because if you think about it, life is pretty much made up of little random things, isn't it? :)

Last Thursday I moved into Hannah's room. It used to be that I shared a room with Sarah, and Hannah shared with Annabeth. But now I"m with Hannah and Sarah's with Annabeth. I think I like it this way. I can stay up a lot later than I used to be able to. Sarah had to go to sleep a lot earlier than Hannah does. It's nice. Plus, I think Mom is finally coming to the conclusion that I'm not a little kid, and I can stay up later than 8:30. :D Also, I can listen to books that aren't appropriate for Sarah, but are fine for Hannah. Well, I shouldn't say that they're inappropriate for Sarah. There's nothing wrong with them, they'd just scare her. Because Sarah had a brain injury when she was 2 or 3 and fractured her skull, stuff that used to not scare her will give her nightmares for weeks. :(

Miss Danielle is already 6 weeks old. Can you believe that? I can't. It's amazing. She's so big already. At least compared to when she was born. She's still pretty tiny. :) Right now she's pretty sick. :( She's been having a hard time ever since she was born. She's spitting up all of her food right now, which is pretty rotten. I feel so sorry for her. We were going to go back to the farm on Monday, but that's not going to happen. We've been in town pretty much ever since she was born because it's been too cold at the farm and whenever we went there she got sick. But now she's sick again, and we haven't even been to the farm in awhile. I'm not sure what's going on. So anyway, I guess we'll still be in town for awhile, which is ok. I don't mind being here, but I think I like it there better. Oh well. :) We'll go back eventually.

I've been working on my math lately. I was trying to procrastinate doing it, but it didn't work very well. I figured I was going to graduate this year. Well, that can definitely happen, just not when I thought it would. I was hoping to graduate sometime in April or May, but Mom and I were talking about it, and with hospital bills and taxes and stuff, we probably won't be able to even order my 12th grade until then. So, I made a goal to finish Algebra and Geometry by then. And that's totally doable for me, I just have to do it. So now I guess I'll try and graduate by Christmas. I was hoping to graduate before my 16th birthday, but with that being in July I just don't see it being possible.

I've had a lot of crocheting to do lately. In fact, I actually have rope burns on my hands because of it. And it hurts. :D And that probably sounds really pathetic, but it's true. So that should tell you how much work I've had to do lately. Since last Saturday I've made 6 blankets. 6. Just in case you hadn't noticed, that's a lot. ;) I've been having to stay up really late these past few weeks to keep up with it all. And right now, I have 5 blankets, plus the one I'm making to enter in the fair, to finish by next Saturday. That's the deadline for the fair blanket. I'm 1/3 of the way done with it, but I haven't worked on it in awhile because of orders. But now I HAVE to get it done. I'll post pictures of it when it's finished. I'm really liking the way it's turning out. Plus, I've been thinking of selling these flower blankets in my shop. My mind is constantly full of possibilities for color combos. I love working with color. :) There's this one ripple blanket that I'm making right now that's a custom color combo, and it's SO PRETTY! I love it. I'll have to take pictures and post them when I finish it. It's 2 shades of pink and white, and it has to be my favorite ripple I've ever made. :)

Lately Mom has gotten on somewhat of a makeup kick with me. I used to barely wear anything at all, but now Mom has gotten me some more stuff, and she loves it. I think she's having fun teaching me how to put all of this stuff on. Plus, putting on my eye shadow for me since I can't yet. The one I have right now is plum/green for above my eyes, and silver on my eyelids. Sometimes I think it looks like I got punched in both eyes, but sometimes I like it. Mom started out by getting me brown, but Dad didn't like it, which is why we got the other colors. He likes them, so I'm happy. :)

Lately in our violin lessons our teacher has switched up things. Hannah and I take lessons together, but the problem is that with pretty much everything musically, (except voice) I tend to learn pretty fast. It just comes easily to me. But Hannah has a much harder time than I do. We just learn at different speeds, which makes it hard for the two of us to do our lessons together. I feel like she's slowing me down, and she feels like I'm pushing her to go too fast. So, lately our teacher has been doing things differently to accommodate both of us. We'll start out by doing some stuff together, but then she splits us up. Hannah does some songs, and Miss Anna works with her on those, and then she works with me on some stuff. I think I like it in that we don't have to worry about learning at different speeds, but we both end up doing a lot of sitting. Plus, our lesson is supposed to be over at 1:00, but it's normally at least 1:10 before we're done. So there are pros and cons for it. But overall I think I like it. I can't wait to be done with the book we're in. I've been on this one song at the end of the book for over a month. It's driving me crazy! Oh well. It won't take too long for me to finish it. And Miss Anna said that we'll work on the song after it next week. Yay! I am so tired of that one song. :D

We were supposed to go to my grandma's house today. We were going to go celebrate the winter birthdays in our family. That means Dad, Jonathan, Hannah, David, Danielle and my grandpa. (Of course, we decided that we were going to just have Danielle in the pictures, but not have her get any presents or something. We have so many baby clothes it's sick. :D She has more clothes than I do probably, and we didn't buy any of them. We were given all of them, because we have such awesome friends and family. :)) But, we can't go because Jonathan, Annabeth and Danielle are sick. So, we decided to go sometimes this week. Next weekend might work better, except Nana and Aunt Suzie will be getting ready to go to the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas that next week. Plus, we have fellowship. So, we'll probably go Tuesday. That's normally the day we end up going to Nana's for something like this when we can't go on the weekend. I don't know why, but Tuesday seems to be the day. :D I don't know if we'll go to church tonight or not. I know all of us won't go, but it may be that those of us that aren't sick will go. (Dad, me, Hannah, Sarah and David) We'll have to see.

Hm.... I think that's all I have to say right now. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Adios!
