"... Oh what can it mean, to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen..."

Hello!

    I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas! Ours was awesome. Lots of fun, and good times. We got a Wii! Yay!  :D  It was fun to see Grammy, Pappy, and Aunt Nina unwrap the scarves I had made for them. I love giving presents.

    It's been so nice having some of our family here. Aunt Nina is leaving today, and her visit has been lots of fun. We went driving around where the Amish live on Saturday, and we got fried pies. Yummmm. I'll miss having her here, but hopefully she can come visit again before too terribly long.

   Granny and Grandpa surprised us by arriving yesterday! We didn't know they were coming up. It's nice to see them again. Granny brought up two huge suitcases full of lots of clothes and some shoes for me from Aunt Penny. I was so happy! My whole room looks like a closet right now, but that's okay. They also brought us some mullet, (which is a type of fish). We haven't had mullet in a few years, so that was a treat. I wanted a piece of key lime pie with it, but we have an overabundance of chocolate right now, so more suar is the last thing I need! I'd prefer to still fit in my jeans by the time the candy is gone, thank you very much. Then again, I can burn it all off on the Wii Fit...  LOL

   I re-did my blog, as you can see. All new music, too. Sorry to anyone who doesn't like country music. But I do like it. *grin* You can always turn it off..... or you can leave it on and maybe you'll find a new song to love? Who knows.  :)

   I'm not sure what we're doing for New Year's Eve. I might be spending the night at a friend's house, if Daddy says it's okay. It'd be nice to go over again; ee haven't seen each other for more than a few minutes since the day after Thanksgiving.

   Oh yeah, and my title is thanks to my love for "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees. I danced to that song in one of my recitals... such fun.  :)

   It's about time to leave, so I need to leave. Ciao!

Hugs,

My Day ~ Sugar ~ My Room

Hello!

Today has gone really well so far. We've gotten a lot done, which is always nice. I love things to be organized and neat, so when I started picking up the feed buckets and the bicycles that were sitting helter-skelter around our shed, I felt like I needed to do more than the usual picking up. I got the kids to help me carry all the cinder blocks from the yard over to the fence so they could be stacked, and then Thomas, Daddy, and I cleaned up all the fence wire that was on the side of the shed. It looks much neater now.

Then I came inside to find Mama baking... ah. I'm pretty good friends with my sweet tooth, so when she bakes, it's a catch 22. I like the sweets, but I don't like the fact that after I indulge in sweets, there are that many more calories that I'll have to work off. I have a considerable amount of willpower.... but sugar is yummy... LOL

I worked on my room some more too. My room is constantly evolving. Right now, the curtains are dark purple and they reach the floor, with white valances. I have black-and-white pictures of Paris on the walls, and they contrast well with all the colors on my pillows, bedspread, etc. :-) What can I say? I like things to 'pop', and I like decorating!

Anyway, enough of all that boring stuff.

Hugs,
Rebecca
