Ahhh, As November Ends, So Does NaBloPoMo

Listening To: Through Glass by Stone Sour
Feeling: Warm and Happy

So it's the last day of November, and the last day of NaBloPoMo too. It was really cool blogging every day of the month. I went from blogging like once every 3 weeks, to every day* for 30 days. :)

Tonight we went out to Mt. Pleasant and first we went to Staples. I had to get school supplies cuz the stuff I had was falling apart. Afterwards, we went to Old Navy cuz Aunt Sandy got me a $25 gift card there. I got this really cool, fuzzy, warm sweater thing. My mom says it's a cardigan, but then I feel like Mr. Rogers... I'm going to wear it tomorrow to school and to our friend's house. Can't wait to see them too!

*Oops... I guess I forgot that I missed 2 days. I missed the 1st because I went to a friend's house after school so his mom could take us to basketball practice, and I didn't get home until late so I had to shower & go to bed (school night, you know). I missed the 5th because that evening Blogger had a server error... & I had to go to bed (school night, you know). Sometimes it's tough being a 12-year-old blogger!

Basketball Game & Other Stuff

Listening To: Fergalicious by Fergie
Feeling: A little sore but good

Tonight I had another basketball game. It was a re-scheduled game for next week, so we won't have one. We started off really good, but it just went downhill from there. We had SO many turn overs and lost by like 12. Oh well we just had a bad night. But, on the bright side, I scored like 7 points and had a bunch of rebounds!

Tonight Day Break is on in place of Lost. It's pretty good. Looking forward to watching it.

Tonight my mom told me that we're going to our friend's house on Friday. I'm looking forward to it!

Next Thursday is our dance, and I'm looking forward to that too. Should be a lot of fun.

Nothing Happening

Listening To: Nothin
Feeling: Good

Tonight I had basketball practice for team 2. It was fun but I was kinda off. I don't know why. Tomorrow we have a game for team 1 and it'll be fun. Right now a bunch of people are on Aim so I'm going to go talk.

Basketball, Basketball, Basketball!

Listening To: Nothin
Feeling: PUMPED!

Tonight my dad and I went out hunting. It wasn't to cold out, just perfect temperature wise. But as the night went on, it got foggier and we couldn't see a single thing. Rifle season ends Wednesday, and I haven;t seen a single thing all season...

So let's clear some things up shall we? tonight I have a game for my basketball team. This team is pretty much the real deal. and we have games on Modays and practices on Wednesdays. My other team that I'm on (the one where we had scrimmages on Saturday) is a team the goes through the school's high school. The first 2 weeks, on Saturday we would go to the High School gym and work on skills. And it's all kids form the same school district. Then they separate us into teams, and we have practices on Tuesdays and play games on Saturdays. This is more just for fun. So the real deal team is going to be called Basketball Team 1. and the other team is going to be called Basketball Team 2 . It;ll just be a little easier when I write about it.

So I figured out that I have 3 days of basketball in a row, and then another day on Saturday, I have basketball 4 out of the 7 days of the week. And I love it!

Happy B-Day Sis!

Feeling: Happy
Listening To: The TV That My Parents Are Watching

Today is my sister's 18th birthday!!!! Tonight we went out to Buffalo Wild Wings and had dinner. It was so nice and we had a blast. But really that's all, I know this post is only 4 sentences long, but I have nothing to say.

Basketball Tourney (Shhhh! It's A Secret!!!!!!)

Listening To: Nothin
Feeling: Happy, and Tired

Today was the 4th Annual Turkey Classic Basketball Tournament. We did REALLY good; played hard, was aggressive, made our shots (well, most of 'em). And I scored a lot of points, got a lot of rebounds, and was aggressive. Don't mean to brag, but I'm just really happy with myself. We came in third place though, but all of our games were either lost or won by 1-3 points. In the last game, it came down to sudden death, where the first team to score 2 points won the whole game. Almost right off the bat, the other team fouled Jake and he went to the line to shoot free throws, a one-and-one. He made the first one and then the second one, it was awesome! After the game Zack came home with us and my mom took us to Taco Bell and we ate inside. Then she took us to Pizza Sam's for an ice cream cone!!! It was so much fun. Right now, Zack just got out of the shower and I'm about to take one.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Listening To: Zack (my really really good friend) talking to me
Feeling: Tired

Today all the family came over and we had a nice big Thanksgiving feast. It was so much fun! There was so much laughing too! Tomorrow i have a basketball tournament, and afterwards Zack is coming over to spend the night. Will be fun!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Listening To: Fergalicious by Fergie
Feeling: Thankful :)

So today is Thanksgiving! But my family isn't celebrating it today. Tomorrow is when all the family is coming over to our house to eat and celebrate my sister's birthday because it's on Sunday. Today is the frantic madly-clean-the-house-and-bake-to-get-ready-for-the-family-to-come-over-day. But it hasn't started yet. My dad got home form work at 8:00 this morning and he's sleeping right now so we're gonna wait till he gets up. This morning I woke up at 7:30 for some reason. Usually I'll wake up at 8:30 and I expected to sleep even later cuz I went to bed at Midnight last night. Really weird. But about an hour after I got up, I went outside and played basketball. Very cold out. I think I almost lost my fingers due to frostbite, but I got inside just in time. Close one though.

After School

Listening To: Tell Me by Diddy Feat. Christina Aguelira
Feeling: Happy

So every Wednesday my sister has violin practice after school, and I have to go wait for her cuz I get off at the high school and she takes me home. Usually I'm pretty prepared for it, like I have my homework or something to do. But today I totally forgot, but I called my friend Zack and we talked for a little bit. Then when Joycie got out, we drove to the mall and met up with my mom and we had dinner. Now usually I ALWAYS get Taco Bell cuz well, it's only the BEST fast food place! But I decided to go to Subway instead, and I got a water to drink. I decide to eat a little more healthier before I gain 10 pounds for Thanksgiving ;) Afterwards we went to Finish Line (love that store) and I got a pair of Adidas pants. Then we looked around for a while. My mom and I made a few more stops in town and then we went home. I wish Lost was on tonight, but it took a break until February :( But Daybreak seemed pretty good so I'll watch that, I watched the season finale. Adios Amigos! **NOTE** My teacher has been saying that when the bell rings to end the hour every day. And she's not a Spanish teacher.

MORE BASKETBALL!

Listening To: My mom and Dad Talk In The Kitchen
Feeling: Anxious

LAsnt night our Lancers lost :( It would have bneen a really good game, if it weren't for thsie dumb refs! >:o They called almost EVERY thing on us, a lot of people were screaming stuff like "How much are you paying the refs!?!?!" when the other team was heading to their locker room after the game. If we would have won that game, we would have been the farthest team in creek girls basketball history. Oh well, a lot of our better players are Juniors or Sophomores so there's always next year. But tonight I have my first basketball practice for my second team. There are only two other 6th graders on our team, so a lot of it will be stuff I already know, but I don't care; I love basketball!

Today

Listening To: My father cook in the kitchen
Feeling: Rushed

Today at school was pretty good, and tonight my dad and I went out hunting. But we didn't see a single deer. We went back in the woods where there's an oak grove. At first it wasn't too bad out, but as the night went on it was getting even colder. To the point where my hands were about to fall off from frost bite :)

And tonight the Lady Lancers play again in the Regionals. If they win tonight, they can keep on going on, and who knows, maybe they can go to State Finals. My sister and I are going over to the game tonight. A lot of my friends are going to be there, too, so it should be a good time. But it's going to be a late night, so tomorrow morning is going to be a bit rough.

Kind of a Boring Day

Listening To: Wind It Up by Gwen Stefani
Feeling: Okay

This morning I woke up at 8:00! That's kind of early for me, but my dad gets home from work at 8:00 and so Reilly barked up a storm and because he was on my bed, he woke me up. So I got up and had a cup of hot chocolate with butter cookies dipped in it (my mom got them for her and dad for their coffee in the morning). Then the day was kinda boring, I played game cube, read a little bit, and watched TV. I did go out and practice my shot in basketball twice, we didn't have practice last week and we don't have a game or practice this week, so I have to get out there and shoot. This week we only have 3 days of school, and I can't wait for Thanksgiving!

More B-Ball

Listening To: Wind It Up by Gwen Stefani
Feeling: Tired but good :)

Well let's start out with... LADY LANCERS ARE DISTRICT CHAMPS! Last night I went to the game and it was so much fun/ At our gym we have two sets of bleachers on the home side. One set is designated to be the "Student Section." They always cheer and stuff, but last night there were like 4 of us guys, and like 8 girls who were all friends and in the same grade, not High School though. We all sat by each other and were cheering too and stuff, I had a blast. The game went in to overtime, and the girls rocked. After that I went to my friend's house and this morning they took me too the high school where we had basketball scrimmages with our new teams. The scrimmages were 8 minuted long and at the 4 minute mark we had to sub. My team played 4 games and went 3-1. I only sat like 3 times, and I did really good. My friend who I spent the night with didn't do the basketball camp this year, but he stayed and watched me with my mom. He said that I had 18 points and 15 rebounds: a double-double. Which is pretty good for only playing like 24 minutes. I was really tired afterwards, and my mom and I went to Bob Evan's and had breakfast. Then we went shopping cuz we had to get a few things, and then we came home. I think tonight we are FINALLY going to watch Chronicles Of Narnia!

Lady Lancers

Listening To: My friend talking to me on the phone
Feeling: Pretty Good

Tonight our Lady Lancers are playing for district championship! Last 2 games our girls have KICKED BUTT! It'd be so sweet if they won tonight! I have a little bit of home work, but I really don't feel like doing it. I have 2 days to do it though. But right now I don't have much to say.

Dumb Weather

Listening To: My Love by Justin Timberlake
Feeling: Good

Well last night we decided that I could stay home from school to go hunting. I asked if I could, just joking around kind of, and my mom heard and said that I was getting good grades and that it wouldn't hurt if I took a day off. Well plans did plans didn't go that way. It was raining all through the night and at 5:00, it still was. So my dad decided it would be best to go tomorrow morning so I had to go to school. But tomorrow is picture re-take day and I have to be there, plus I have 3 tests tomorrow too. So now I have to wait until the weekend to go hunting now. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature!

Opening Day Bummer

Listening To: My friend talking to me on AIM
Feeling: TIRED!

So today was the opening day for rifle season. My dad woke me up at about 5:00 this morning and we all had a nice, big, hot breakfast: Belgain waffles and sausage links and patties. After that we went out and got dressed and my dad and I were in our deer blind at about 6:15 - 6:30. Unfortanately, I fell asleep at about 7:30 and didn't wake up until 11:00 :) But my dad didn't see anything anyway, so after that we went out to see my grandpa who was also hunting on our property. He saw 2 does but they went right on by him. My dad and I moved 3 more times after that, and every single time, we saw NOTHING. A huge blow out for the first day of rifle season :( Oh well, there are plenty more days to go out, and I still had fun being with my dad all day!

My Day

Listening To: Nothin'
Feeling: Full

Today, was kinda boring for me. Nothing really happened. I just had a PB&J so I'm full. But I am SUPER excited for Opening Day tomorrow. We are waking up at like 5:30 and dad is gonna make a hot breakfast for us, we'll take out hot cocoa and be in the blind. My dad has been seeing two 6 points around, and I hope I get one of 'em!

B-Ball Game

Listening To: Last Night by Diddy Feat. Keyshia Cole
Feeling: Tired

Tonight my team had our second basketball game. But we lost, 35-27. They were a good team and we were about tied through the whole game until the last 10 minutes and we just lost it. Oh well, we have many more games to win :) And, we don't have any more practices or games until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Geuss I better start shooting hoops!

Getting Ready For Opening Day!

Listening To: Last Night by Diddy Feat. Keyshia Cole
Feelin: Nice and Warm

Today my dad and I went to Meijer to see what they had for hunting clothes, and we ended up gettin hats and gloves. So then we went to Mill End and got my over-alls and my jacket whish both match and are both reversible. We also got my boots which are really nice too! I'm really happy with what I got! So when we got home we went out and saw where we were probably gonna go hunting opening day. Then we shot my rifle. I'm doing pretty good. I'm looking forward more and more every day for Opening Day on Wednesday.
P.S.
I'm feelin nice and warm cuz I'm wearing my new Aeropastale sweatshirt ;)

A Night With Aunt Janet

Listening To: Diddy's New Album
Feelin: Full, Tired, and Really Happy

Tonight my Aunt Janet picked me up and we went into town to celebrate my birthday. She usually takes out to dinner and go shopping to spend our b-day money, or sometimes she'll take us to see a movie too. When I say us, I mean my sis, my cousins, and I. She does it for everyone of our birthdays. So today we went and saw Man Of the Year at the theaters. It was really good and really funny, you should see it if you haven't already! Then we went to eat at Damon's which was really good. She told them that it was my birthday and they put me on one of their big screens and announced it was my b-day and everyone there clapped! It was cool. After that we went to the mall and our first stop was Target, where I got Madden 07 for my gamecube. Aunt Janet looked around for a while too at some Christmas stuff and ended up buying a few things. Then we walked around for a while and also stopped in at American Eagle and Aeropastale where I ended up getting a nice warm and fuzzy sweatshirt from Aeropastale. Then, our last stop was Barnes & Noble where I used my $10 giftcard that I got and bought Diddy's new album called Press Play. I had to pay 6 bucks too to par for it. And Aunt Janet also got us a couple frappacnos too! So I started out with $65 and now I only have a dollar left! But I had a blast with Aunt Janet tonight!

Dinner With Daddy

Listening To: Drop It Like It's Hot by Lil' Wayne
Feelin: FULL!

Tonight my dad and I were going to see a Central Michigan University game, but we weren't really prepared. We didn't order tickets ahead of time and this was a rivalry AND a championship game. So the odds of getting tickets an hour before the game, weren't so great. But the weather was really bad anyway, really cold and pouring rain out. But the traffic to get in the game in the city was still unbelievable. And a lot of people were walking to the game with sweatshirts on. Crazy! So instead, my dad and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to have dinner. I got 18 Honey BBQ wings, but only ate maybe half. Oh well, I got myself lunch tomorrow =D Then we stopped at Dairy Queen and split a Blizzard. I think we're all gonna watch Chronicles Of Narnia together tonight.

It's So Nice Out

Listening To: Same Ol' Stuff
Feelin: Good

Today, it's really nice out! It's nice to have a good weather day when it's always so cold! Nothing's really happenin, same ol' same ol'. And I don't really know why I'm using the word "ol'" so much but oh well ;) Oh, and my girlfriend broke up with me by e-mail last night. But I'm great. Not really sad about the whole thing, there was never really anything special between us I geuss. But we're still friends! And I think I'm gonna watch Chronicles Of Narnia tonight... But right now I'm talking with my friends on AIM. So talk to y'all later.

B-Ball and Lost

Listening To: The sound of the TV
Feeling: Really Tired

Tonight I had basketball practice and it went pretty good. I just finished watching Lost, and once again we're left with a cliff-hanger until February. Whodda thunk it?!? Anyway, I think I'm gonna go to bed. This isn't much of a blog post, but I'm too tired to write any thing :)

Shooting My New Rifle

Listening To: Rebel Yell by Toby Rand ~ it's a cover from the show too
Feeling: Pretty Good

So as you all know, I got a 170 bolt-action rifle that's made by Savage Arms for my birthday. Tonight I went out and shot it! My dad already sighted it in so I was all ready to go. It's so nice! It has a little kick and is kinda loud and it has this thing where you can load 3 bullets into it and all you have to do is shoot then eject the shell and then its ready to go again. I loved shooting it! I kept my shells too:

the one circled in red is my very first shell. I've shot a bee-bee gun before and a 22 but this is my first real gun.

WooooooooooooHoo!!!

Listening To: Throw It All Away by Toby Rand (Rockstar: Supernova guy from Aussie!)
Feelin: Tired

I know it's my second blog post but I couldn't wait to blog about my game! We won, the score was 24-17. I started too, but lost the jump because the other guy was like 4 inches taller than me, and I'm like 5 foot 2 inches! I scored 10 points, 8 from regular and I made 2 out of 3 freethrow shots. I also got a lot of rebounds too:) The other freethrow shot I missed was 1-and-1, that's where you get fowled and the othe team has more than 9 fowls in that half and if you make the first one then u get to shoot another, and if you miss the second one, then you can just rebound the ball. I play center, or #5 position so I'll get fouled a lot. Our whole team is looking great! There are 10 of us so we have two different teams: gold and black. Each game, we will take turns with the two different teams starting and coach will put in who he needs at the end if we are down.

I have improved SO much from last year. I'm more aggressive and I am not getting down on myself if I miss a shot or something. Watch out everyone, big #3 is comin'... ;)

Logan's and B-Ball

Listening To: Tell Me by Diddy Fet. Christina Ageulira - AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!
Feeling: Pretty good

Last night I was going make a post but Blogger said that it was down for maintenance, so I couldn't. But last night we did go to Logan's for dinner to celebrate my birthday, we were going to go on Saturday but I went with my friends to that movie. Logan's was fun and the food was really good, as always! I got the combo dinner that was steak and shrimp. The shrimp were on shishkabobs so there were only 8 and that's all I had cuz I don't like the vegetables. And the steak was really good too! :) I was going to get sung to by the employees too, but my mom get sick and we had to leave earlier and that didn't happen. So instead they gave me a free peanut butter sugar stuff, but it's not very good, it tastes funny. My mom apologized, but I said that it wasn't her fault and I completely understand.

Today at school I wore my new shoes that I got for my B-Day, they're really bright and I LOVE them! I got a lot of comments on them, some good and some bad, but I don't really care if they like them or not, cuz they're so cool!



Also, tonight is my first Basketball game and I'm so excited!!! We play at this H-U-G-E place that has 8 full basketball courts that can be used for volleyball and other sports too. And there is also another floor which has a seating area, and a big weight room that can be used for physical therapy too. The place is awesome! Our game is at 7:00 and I think our team is going to have a really good chance! Wish me luck!

A Happy Birthday and A Stupid Movie

Listening To: Tell Me by Diddy fet. Christina Aguelira
Feeling: Happy

Well the party last night went great! I got $55, a new rifle!, a SWEET pair of orange and yellow and green pair of shoes, Chronicles of Narnia DVD, a couple of gift cards, and a whiteboard calendar and dry erase markers. I love what I got and my mom made a awesome cake! I had tons of fun!

Right now I am at Zack's house and we just got back from seeing The prestige with my girlfriend, Kendra, and our friend Maddie. The movie was actually really stupid. I was SO disappointed cuz I was REALLY looking forward to seeing it. It was really confusing and all we got were stuff to ask questions until the end and it answered all the questions so I was practically lost throughout the whole movie. Plus, it skipped back and forth from present time and then the past. AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Happy Early Birthday To Me!

Listening To: Maneater by Nelly Furtado
Feeling: Anxious

Today is the day before my birthday, and we are having the party tonight cuz most of the family is gone tomorrow. Today at school I was sung to 4 times! It was cool. Once was when Lizzie sang really loud all by herself ALL the way down the hallway on our way to lunch! I was sung to twice at lunch: once my whole table sang, then Julia and Amy went in front of the whole lunch room and screamed, "It's Sam's birthday - everybody SING!!!" Then those two started singing and then like 6 other people went up there and started singing while most of the lunchroom was singing. Then at the end of Math class, Mr. Laughner had the class sing to me, too! Pretty cool huh? ;) So right now there is my b-day cake sitting on the counter, and it's covered, and my mom won't let me see it. Curiosity killed the cat...

This And That

Listening To: Fergalicious by Fergie
Feeling: EXCITED!!!!

So let's start off with Halloween: My costume ROCKED!


On Halloween a bunch of my friends and I went to a couple haunted houses, well really, they were more like mazes that were kinda scary. One was kinda lame and the only thing kinda scary was a guy dressed in all black jumped out from behind the house and flashed his flashlight at us. Well, maybe more than just kinda scary ;) The second one wasn't that much scarier. But one part was like a cemetery and what looked like a decoration that you could buy that looked like a skeleton, was really a little kid who jumped up at us when u got close. Yeah, I screamed. After that we went trunk-or-treating at a couple of churches. Trunk-or-treating is where people park at the parking lot and we walk by and they hand us candy. It was a more safer way of trick-or-treating, but my whole brief case (I used that to carry my candy around because my costume was a gorilla going to work) was full! After that we hit a couple party stores who handed out pop and candy bars. Then I left them with my family so we could go to my family's houses. First we went to my grandma and grandpa's, who gave me a full bag of small size Almond Joys! My favorites! Then we went to my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Bob's who gave me a King Sized Hershey bar, a big bow of starbursts, a king-size tootsie roll, and a pack of Bubble Yum. Then at my Aunt JoAnne's, I got the rest of her candy that she was gonna hand out. Finally, at my Aunt Janet and Uncle Bob's, I got a bunch of candy! Thanks family!

MEAP got over with and to celebrate it, my Middle School threw a party. All of our classes were cut like 15 minutes short and we had an hour and a half to have fun! There were many options of what you could do, like go to the dance, watch a movie, play games and arm wrestle, of go outside. I chose to go to that dance, and so did a lot of my friends. It was so much fun and I wish it could have been longer, like the rest of our dances. They only played two slow songs though, and the first one my girl friend was gone. The second one she was there though and we had fun.

Basketball has started and we will probably have our first game Monday. I love basketball and can't wait to play! I play center and sometimes forward. I don't know if I will be starting yet, but I think I have a really good chance though! We have practice every monday.

Saturday is my 12th birthday! But we;re celebrating it on Friday though. We're having a family party which will be a lot of fun, and on Saturday we're going to see The Prestige and go out to dinner. The Prestige looks so good, I cant wait to see it! And we'll be going to dinner to a place where they'll sing to me or something. I'll give y'all the details later. ;)

Saturday also starts the basketball camp at the high school which will be a blast. We have like 2 days of skills then we get put on to teams and play every Saturday. Lookin forward to it!

I think that's about it... I'm glad to be posting again!
