God Gives Us a Family

2010-07-16T13:25:00.000-05:00

Joseph settles his family in Egypt. (Genesis 45:16 -47:27)

"For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:26)

A good way to wrap up the week:)

The Princess

Thanks Group.

God Gives Us Forgiveness

2010-07-15T11:52:00.000-05:00

Joseph forgave his brothers. Something so many of us couldn't do. (Genesis 42:6-45:15)

"But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love." Nehemiah 9:17

Go. Read. Now.

The Princess

Gracias Group.

God Gives Us Wisdom

2010-07-14T09:55:00.000-05:00

Genesis 41:41 - 42:5 shows us how Joseph leads Egypt through famine. Wink, wink:)

The key verse is James 1:5.

"If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you."

It's funny. This is something very easy, but we, the crazy people of the world, can't seem to ever be able to do it. Weird, huh? It is the fact that we have so much pride and we think we can do everything, all by ourselves.

The Princess

Thanks Group.

God Gives Us Special Abilities

2010-07-13T08:23:00.000-05:00

Genesis 41:1-40 explains to us how Pharaoh put Joseph in charge. Go look it up.

Remember The Ballad of Little Joe? It's that story.

Our memory verse tonight is Romans 12:6.

"In His grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well."

We are supposed to use our gifts to spread His Word.

So... go. Now:) You know what I mean.

The Princess

Thanks to Group for this awesome VBS.

God Gives Us Hope

2010-07-12T12:07:00.000-05:00

Genesis 40:1-23 explains to us that Joseph interpreted dreams in prison. You have to go read it to find out the rest of it:)

Our Bible verse tonight is Jeremiah 29:11.

" 'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.' "

One of my fave verses ever.

Did you know that Joseph is the first prisoner mentioned in the Bible? Huh...

GTG. Go look that scripture up. Now. Go get your Bible. Don't tell yourself you will do it later. I have been there, forgotten that.

The Princess

Thanks to Group for this amazing VBS.

Oh VBS...

2010-07-11T12:36:00.000-05:00

I know it is to teach kids about God. I know that. But that doesn't mean it isn't one of the longest weeks ever.

This year we are in Egypt. This is my first year to be a helper. To be honest, I am a little excited.

I will be an assistant to Miss R (a really cool girl in her '20s who is just like me:) (she's single -wink, wink:). Our group is called the Asyuts. Pronounced As-YUU-ts. That is what the book said at least.

I am going to try to set it up where every night this week I post what we learned. I didn't explain it will, but you'll see:)

Tuesday I have to teach part of it because Miss R has something to go to. Scary!! I went over the lesson yesterday. It isn't too bad.

It will just be hard to make the to-be 6th graders to obey me. They are pretty much all boys and just a "teensy" bit wild. Who am I kidding?!?! They run around screaming like monkeys. Except one of the boys, B, is one of my best friends, so he doesn't count as a monkey. As long as he obeys me. MWA HA HA HA!!

~ Side-note: I don't like using real people's names, so I just use the first letter of their first names. ~

K. GTG set up this week's blog posts. Adios.

Snow Cone Machine :)

2010-07-02T00:00:00.001-05:00

This is what I have been eating all week. :)

We got a mini snow cone machine at Wal-Mart this week for $20. It rocks and works really well. We got the flavors Blue Raspberry and "Bug Juice", a.k.a. Strawberry Banana. I mix them:)

My mom just uses the ice to make "Diet Mountain Dew Slushies"...

Today my friend-who I shall call "K"- is coming over. I plan to get in our bathing suits and use a hose and the trampoline... let your mind wander...ooo000OOO000ooo.

G2G. Adios.

Chinese 101

2010-06-17T17:06:00.004-05:00

I don't know why, but I have fallen in love with writing Chinese. I just Google "Chinese symbol for _____" and then I draw it. I am running out of black marker fast.

Here's the symbol for Princess:

I drew it yesterday.

Does anyone watch Wizards of Waverly Place? I am watching an episode right now. The one about the Smarty Pants. I love this part:

Mr. Principal (just went blank on his name): "Remember, there are no losers. Just winners and the people that aren't them."

Eleven

by Lauren Myracle

This book was very good. She deals with the "fun" of friends, middle school, and an older sister. She also realizes what a true friend is.

This book is in a series called The Winnie Years. I have the next book in the series on hold at the library. My mom told me it was in last night! Woo!

The only disappointments I had about this book was that it used God's name in vain several times and at one point her older sister, Sandra, yelled the he** word, which Winnie pointed out.

I am fixing to start reading The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. I'm really excited about it. Adios amigos.

Pets 101: Rory, Guster, Heidi, and Ruby

2010-06-14T00:00:00.000-05:00

Meet Rory.

Age: Around 9 months... we think...

Nicknames: Roe, Roe-Roe, Roey.

Story: While building our house, the workers had a dumpster. One day in mid-September they moved it. Out ran the mother and left her three kittens there stranded:( When we found them we immediately fell in love with them. This was the only girl. She has two brothers-one which we gave away (Chuck), and one which you will see in a minute.

She is my model, as you can see from above. She is very needy and very sweet.

Meet her brother, Guster.

Age: Same as Rory

Nicknames: Gus, Goose, Goose-Goose, Gooser, Gus-Gus.

Story: Same

He is not my model, again, as you can see from above. He also thinks I am his mother. Literally. Not even kidding.

Meet Heidi.

Age: Around 9... we think.

Nickname: Heidi-Loo, Girlie.

Story. If you or your mom reads my mom's blog, you/she will know about Heidi and her illness. (My mom is an amazing writer, so if no one in your fam reads it... well... you should.)

I love her soooo much. When I was younger I was pretty sure that she was this gorgeous scientist performing an experiment gone wrong and she turned into a dog. She's that smart.

Meet Ruby.

Age: 4

Nickname: Ruby-Cube, Cube, Cube-ella (Don't ask me. Mom came up with it.), Rube.

Story. This dog is very dumb. So dumb, that you have to love her:)

Ta Da! Finally. It is done. Oh, and for those of you wondering about Chester and Fat (Oliver)... my parents put them on Craigslist... without telling me... and they are gone... and I never noticed they were gone... until they told me about two days later... yeah. I figured they were just napping a lot or something, plus they weren't very social. You are not allowed to get mad at me.

Chester:

Fat (Oliver):

Drama Queen

2009-02-24T02:00:00.000-06:00

I like to act.

Just a little.

Just a teensy.

Okay, scratch that all out, I LOVE to act.

I have been in two musicals, three plays, and I will be in the big school musical in April.

I have always been in one musical/play at a time.

Not two.

One.

Until maybe today.

Saturday, I auditioned for Alice in Wonderland The Musical.

I love musicals and I love Disney. Perfect match, right?

This afternoon I find out if I get a part. Hee Hoo Hee Hoo, etc. (I am hyperventilating)

I kind of want to be the Mad Hatter. I like to be sarcastic and odd characters. It is easy for me:)

Right now I am just praying that if I am supposed to get a part, I will, and if I am not, I won't.

Hee Hoo Hee Hoo.

Forgiveness

2009-02-23T18:45:00.000-06:00

Yesterday, during the prayer request time at church, Mr. T (our sort-of-pastor) told us to pray for Mr. A.T., a really cool guy at our church. His mom died last week in a fire. She lived upstairs in her house with some renters living downstairs. The renters left a candle burning when they left the house. When the renter returned to find the house in flames, he grabbed his stuff, not thinking about Mr. A.T.'s mother. She died.

Mr. T said that Mr. A.T. went to the renter a few days later and simply said, " I forgive you."

To be honest, I probably would not have done that. I would have never forgiven the man.

Please pray for Mr. A. T. and for the renter.

Hello Hello!

2009-02-21T23:37:00.000-06:00

I am soooooo sorry I have been gone. So much has been happening here at the palace. Here are some of the things:

We sold our house!

Latin Spelling Bee (ugh!)

Science Fair

WE ARE GOING TO GUATEMALA!!!

That is only about a fourth of the things. Plus, there is a song that I listen to CONSTANTLY!

Would you like to listen?

I know you would...

Here is the website. If it doesn't work, go to YouTube.com and type in Big and Chunky. It should be the second one.

P.S. It is from the movie Madagascar 2.

TTFN!!

Thanksgiving Card

2008-11-24T12:32:00.000-06:00

Mimi, my grandma, decided to do something called the Pass It Forward Series.

The Pass It Forward series is where she sends you 2 $50 Wal-Mart giftcards. One you use to buy your family's Thanksgiving food, and the other you give to someone to buy their family's Thanksgiving food.

I have had my card for a looooooooooooooooooong time and have not figured out who to give it to.

I have prayed alot that God would put someone on my heart.

This past Sunday I had still not given it to anyone.

During chuch I whispered to my mom that I still hadn't given it to anyone.

She told me that se would start praying about it, too.

There is an awesome family in my church that is moving to Guatemala in May.

They walked up to the stage to talk to our church about what they were doing.

I then said to myself, " What about them?"

People could then go touch the while praying my mom then walked up there. (My dad was in the sound booth.)

When she came back she said, " What about them?"

Now they have the card.

Thank you, Mimi, for giving me that card.

I Am Being Extra Careful Today

2008-08-22T10:24:00.000-05:00

Today is the 22nd... the 22nd of August.

There have been two things horrible that have happened to me. They all happened on this date.

1. The 'falling down stairs' tooth accident. You may remember it.

2. The Wreck. I have never told you this story before. Here it goes:

When I was four, I went my grampa's office with my mom. Pa's to be exact. He asked me if I wanted to go to a gas station later (He worked for an oil company). He said it had really good candy. I was a sucker.

Mom and I went home for a while until Pa and Mimi came to pick me up. Mom was outside so I went with her with my purse in my hand. While we were outside Mom asked me," Are you sure you want to go?" I replied," Of course Mommy!" Little did I know that I should have said, "Of course not Mommy!!".

They picked me up and put me in my carseat and buckled me up. We were off. We drove to the gas station and I got LOTS of candy. Then we went to Dairy Queen and picked up some ice cream. We were heading back and we went under a bridge and Pa thought you turned right there. It was really just a hill.

Next thing I heard was," PA!!!"

Then I was upside down. We had flipped 4 time.

The Ambulance came and some teens stoped to help. Mimi had many cuts. Pa had a cut behind his ear. Me? I had a bruise on my cheek. God had protected me majorly.

I also have never gone to DQ again. And when I got home, the first thing I asked was,"Do I still have my candy??"

Oh, and today's my dog, Ruby's Birthday... what a coincidence.

Happy 3rd Birthday Ruby!!!

Oh, and did I mention her middle name is Rascal???

The Trip Has Started...

2008-08-13T21:39:00.000-05:00

Today we set off for Branson, Missouri...

And it's a Generation Trip.

I have my great grandmother, Nannie (Mom's side), my two grandmothers, Nana (Dad's Side) and Mimi (Mom's Side), and Mom.

Plus Me.

We arrived and went to a small resteraunt.

Chicken Legs and mashed potatoes!!!

Then we went to the hotel we are staying at.

We shopped.

Only a little. We just looked. Tomorrow the shopping arrives.

We went back to the hotel.

I had a pound of fudge.

Chocolate Peanut Butter from the Fudgery!!!

Now I am here.

I will try and keep you updated.

See Ya!

I'm Back!!!

2008-08-12T20:20:00.000-05:00

I'M BACK!!!

Hey Guys!!! It has been a crazy summer. There has been a lot happening at the Palace.

I even got an award from Mary!!!!

Thank you soooo much!!!

So I nominate...

Here are the rules:

Put the award on your blog and link to the person who gave it to you. Nominate at least 5 other people and link to their blog.

Simple as that.

New Websites

2008-05-28T13:28:00.000-05:00

Ok. I am having a crisis.

I love to be on the internet. I mean LOVE. I love to get emails. I love to go on websites. (Especially Webkinz!!)

Because it is summer vacation, I have been on the computer a lot lately. I have been on it so much that I am sick of all my websites.

So... I have an idea. I want you to tell me your favorite kids-play website. It cannot be one that I have on my My Favorite Website or a learning website.

It's summer people.

If you will do this you will solve my crisis. I will love you. Not more than the computer, but a lot.

Bye People.

Marley: A Dog Like No Other

2008-03-29T11:31:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I finished the book, Marley: A Dog Like No Other.

This book is about John Grogan's (the author's) dog, Marley.

A little over a year after he and his wife, Jenny, had been married, they wanted a new family member. A dog.

They got a dog and named him Marley. He is the most destructive dog in the world. You can't imagine all the things he did.

I will say that when I finished the book, I had red eyes. Yes, The Princess cried.

I give this book 5 stars.

Oh, and he also has 2 other books. They are Marley and Me (the adult version) and Bad Dog Marley!! (The toddler version)

Enjoy!!

I Am (Not) A Champ At Bowling

2008-03-04T21:06:00.000-06:00

Once a month my mom has a book club. The King (my dad) and I always go bowling with some friends and some family.

When you turn 10... NO BUMPERS!!!!!! I have been 10 since October, but have not officially switched to no bumpers.

So last night it was time to go bowling. I told my dad I was ready to move on. I was ready to do no bumpers.

Let's just say that two out of three frames I got zero.

Oh, and guess what?!?!?! We had technical difficulties. Bad ones.

Now I am going to go read.

My Book Club Was Awesome!!!!

2008-03-03T19:51:00.000-06:00

My book club was great. It was so much fun.

I am going to tell you all about my day that day. Ready for it????

I woke up at 9:43 a.m. I was sleepy and didn't want to get up... AT ALL. My mom said that I needed to get some schoolwork done. I did math. BORING!!

After that we went to Harps to get some cookies and fresh flowers.

When we got home my mom and I washed some grapes.

Look what we found!!

We call it a Grumpkin.

After that I went to pick up my playroom a little. To make it look nice.

Here was my table arrangement:

Like it???

Here is my beautiful flower bouquet.

Lovely.

Here are my dolls.

Marcie

Nicki

Julie

We had a great time. Everyone loved the book. The next one we are reading is Kit Learns a Lesson.

I Have A Purse Problem

2008-02-11T19:00:00.000-06:00

I have a purse problem. A major purse problem.

I either have a purse that I can't fit my wallet in, or a purse that is supposed to hold 80 5-inch thick books.

To solve this problem, I am going to Limited Too after school tomorrow to get a new one.

I thought about this one:

Do you like it??? I do, but I don't know if it's me.

This one I will DEFINITELY not buy.

A Hannah Montana bag. It's not that I don't LOVE her, it's just that I will never wear a purse with her picture on it.

If you find a cute purse on Limited Too's website... TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!

Ellie: My Favorite Stuffed Animal

2008-02-07T23:00:00.000-06:00

I have had Ellie for... 3/4 of a year. She is of course, a Webkinz. Ellie is an elephant. She sleeps with me every night. She even rides with me to school and waits in the car from 7:20 AM to 3:30 PM. Now how sweet is that?

She even has a brother. A lil'kinz elephant: Peanut.

Sidebar--- Did you know that a peanut is actually not a nut???

Dad left recently for a ski trip with his "manly poker-playing" friends. The night he left, I took Peanut and stuck him in Dad's bag with a note attached.

Dad found Peanut and he says that Peanut is sitting on his bed. His bed?!?!?!?!?! You can't sit Peanut "on a bed". He needs special care! Like... brushing him and... feeding him! I know that I sit Ellie in a car for 7 hours, but she has toys in the car! There is a movie player! With Snow Buddies in it!! (Speaking of, that is a great movie.)

I am not saying that Dad isn't taking care of Peanut, I mean, at least he's not on the ground.

Well... I have to go find Ellie because it is time to go to bed.

Super Bowl Sunday

As everyone knows, yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday. I have decided to tell how I spent my SBS. (Super Bowl Sunday)

A few people came over to my grandpa's house. I ended up not getting to watch my favorite part of the SB: The Commercials. How sad.

My family and I are happy and sad about how it turned out. We have decided (or at least I have decided) that we are happy that the Giants won. Woo Hoo!!!

Last night we did a bracket thing where you picked out what your favorite commercial was. Mine was the Amp "Push It" commercial.

I better go!! Time to get off the computer.

Which commercial did you like the best?

And The Winner Is...

Kids Everywhere Need You

2008-01-30T11:00:00.000-06:00

Yesterday in class my teacher, Mrs. Benson, said that we are going to do a project. That project is to gather things like craft supplies and party favors. The, on the 12th of February we are going to give these items to our local kids shelter. We're also going to make Valentines for them.

Thinking about this made me wonder... how many kids are there that are, well, homeless?

I asked my teacher this question and she replied that our local kids shelter doesn't have enough room right now for all the kids.

If you give to your local animal shelter or any kind of shelter, you can make a difference. Even if all you give is a Valentine's Day Card it will still make a difference.

Recipe Reading

2008-01-29T09:00:00.000-06:00

When I wrote on Saturday, I told you that I have nothing to write about. I still don't. That's why I've decided to post recipes when I have nothing to write about.

My first recipe comes from my favorite kids cookbook, Kids In The Kitchen. Almost all of my recipes will come from this cookbook. Here's the first recipe:

Breakfast Banana Split

1 Banana

1/2 cup your favorite crunchy cereal, divided

1/2 cup fruit-flavored yogurt

1/4 cup blueberries or strawberries, sliced

1/4 cup pineapple chunks, drained

maraschino cherries (optional)

You'll need a butter knife, cereal bowl, spoon and measuring cups.

Peel the banana and cut down the middle lengthwise with a butter knife. Place banana in your cereal bowl. Sprinkle half of the cereal over the banana, but save the other half for sprinkling on top. Spoon the yougurt over the banana and cereal. Add the rest of the cereal and fruit on top. Add the cherries if you'd like.

This is a REALLY good quick, easy, weekend breakfest. If you were me, you would only use the strawberries and use strawberry yogurt. That makes it taste the best.

Oh, and Mimi, you can use bananas.

It's A Giveaway

2008-01-28T11:00:00.000-06:00

My mom told me that I could give away something that I like. Well, I like Webkinz. This giveaway is for a brand new seasonal Love Frog. It would be a really cool Valentine's Day gift.

Just leave one comment on this post (we'll delete any duplicates) and we will randomly pick a winner on Friday, February 1. We will close the comments at 12:01 a.m. on that day.

It is open to residents of the US and Canada.

Thank you to Shannon at Bloggy Giveaways.

Comments are now closed. I'll announce a winner on Friday!!

'The Funny Commercial' Award

2008-01-26T02:05:00.000-06:00

First things first. I love commercials. Especially the funny ones. That's why I am giving an award to my favorite commercial.

I am guessing you want to know what it is. Here is my favorite commercial. (Click 'touch'.)

Isn't it funny!!??!! I mean, it's kinda sad, but then it's so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well... I'm going to go get a drink. I've been laughing too much and it makes me cough... oh, and here's its award:

Bad Blogging

2008-01-25T12:28:00.000-06:00

Alright. I have a few thing to say.

I have nothing to blog about.

I have no clue why yesterday the word "American" appeared yellow.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are dumb. Yes. I watched Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? last night. They weren't.

I am still sick.

Why doesn't Webkinz come out with a dolphin? I mean, how cute would that be?!?

I wish ebay would ship things quicker. I'm waiting on a prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye.

I Am So Very Sorry

2008-01-24T02:15:00.000-06:00

I am extremely sorry that I didn't do a post yesterday. I am very, very sick and have an "unknown" virus.

Now... let me tell you some of my symptoms:

Horrible chest cough, sore throat, glassy eyes, tired every single second and sore almost everywhere. Did I mention the sore throat? Just checking.

Q: Why do people think they sing like Carrie Underwood when they sound like a dying rat? Just curious. I mean, some people on American Idol think they sound incredibly good, and they are, but... others sound (how do I word this right?) BAD.

Oh, by the way, do like the bold, big letters?

I Have Them

2008-01-22T09:30:00.000-06:00

Yes. I do in fact have my braces in my mouth. Now, the story...

The dentist's helper was really nice. She told me to look up at the digital scrolling thing and it said, "Welcome New Patient, Princess". But it didn't say Princess. It said my name.

She put about 80 different things in my mouth to put some conditioner stuff on my teeth. It keeps my teeth under my braces from getting nasty. Then she put my braces on and bonded them and then she put the wire through and we were done. How amazing is that? It only took about an hour.

After that she asked me if I wanted my mom to listen to the stuff that I had to do to take care of them. Well of course! I'm not going to remember all of that stuff.

She gave me a bag of all kinds of utensils and stuff for school. I love freebies.

Really, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's pretty sore, but not like I thought.

I'm excited to go to school today and show my friends. My teacher will scream (she doesn't know that I got them).

Mouth Tauma: Today Is The Day

2008-01-21T11:00:00.000-06:00

Today is the day. The day I have been counting down to. Today I get ( dare I say ) braces.

Yes, I said it. I actually said it.

I am EXTREMELY nervous and feel really anxious. I don't know how it is going to happen. I just know that every time I eat something I have to brush my teeth. And that I can't have Doritos. Are you serious? Can't have Doritos? You're kidding, right?

OK. I'll handle it.

As I said, I am very nervous and I am asking you to please pray for me.

Tomorrow I will write more about my braces.

Mouth Trauma: Part Three

2008-01-19T10:00:00.000-06:00

Part three. Ready for it?

Here it is:

I had never ever gotten teeth pulled by the dentist. Co (My gradpa) had always pulled them.

But I knew that I had trouble coming when two of my permanent teeth were growing over my babies. When I had my usual cleaning Mom asked,

"So... What do we do about those teeth?"

"Well, we can remove them today."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I had a slight feeling that they would get pulled that day, but my parents thought they would just schedule it for later. Nope. They pulled them that day, but let's back track.

We went back into the room where they pull teeth. They asked me if I wanted to watch Winn-Dixie or Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry, of course!! (Oh, by the way, we have TVs in the ceiling at our dentist). They gave me laughing gas and well... I laughed. As in, like, snorting. It was over like that and I was happy.

Stay tuned. Only two more days...

Mouth Trauma: Part Two

2008-01-17T19:49:00.000-06:00

Last time on, Mouth Trauma: Princess tumbled down stairs.

Alright. Today I am going to tell you some more about my mouth trauma. Do you want the short version or the loooong version? I'll give you the short:

Last summer I played softball. I loved being the bat-boy...or bat-girl. My mom was always so nervous that the person waiting would swing and hit me. I wasn't nervous at all. My friend was at bat and I wasn't paying attention. The girl waiting (the coach's daughter) swung and BAM!!! Hit me on my front upper permanent tooth with the bat. Ouch.

Oh, and there's more!! :( Later on my tooth started to discolor. My mom took me to the dentist and they said that it might be dying and that I needed to go to a special dentist to probably get a root canal. Goody.

Ever since I have had to go to that "special dentist" every 3 months and check to see if it is dead or not. Oh, and no, I didn't get a root canal.

Another thing that doesn't have anything to do with the subject: Today my teacher gave me a bag of $105, but it was shredded.

Mouth Trauma: Part 1

2008-01-17T09:00:00.000-06:00

OK. I told you yesterday that I have had the worst mouth trauma in the world. Today I'm going to tell you the first trauma. Here it goes (The short version):

When I was two years old I was on our front porch with my parents and I tumbled down the stairs, knocked two of my upper teeth into my gums. Oh, and then there was blood. Lots and lots of blood. As in my mom had to throw away the t-shirt she had on because it was covered in blood.

So, there you have it. Mouth trauma part one. Stay tuned for the next story

of...Mouth Trauma.

P.S. This has nothing to do with the subject, but today I went to Target and got a piggy bank for only one dollar.

Be Prepared

2008-01-16T09:15:00.000-06:00

Starting tomorrow I am only posting about my mouth trauma. Not forever... only until Monday or Tuesday.

You won't meet anyone else with more mouth trauma than me. I have had 3 big (as in major) things go on in my mouth. If you read my mom's blog you will know what a few of them are.

"Princess, come eat your dinner!"

"Mom... I'm in the middle of my blog!"

"Princess, remember the rules!"

"I'll be right there, Mother!"

Adios.

I Am Now Dr. Princess

2008-01-15T09:15:00.000-06:00

For a long time I have wanted to be a vet when I grow up. I still do... in a way. But, about a month ago my mom told me ALL a vet has to do. Now, I just want to play vet.

Last night I got out my new Animal Hospital set that I got for Christmas. It came with a rubber dog you could use as a patient. I use my Webkinz instead.

Ellie (my favorite Webkinz stuffed animal who is an elephant) had a rash on her neck and a broken leg and had to get a shot. She's all better now.

Then came Major (My Webkinz german sheperd.) He just needed a refill on his meds. He is very stressed out from his police work and is under the weather.

I had many more adventures in the vet work. If I tell any more it will give away one of my pets that I will soon tell about, so I will stop.

Oh, by the way, if your Webkinz is under the weather, give a shout to Dr. Princess.

My Reveiws

2008-01-13T18:52:00.000-06:00

I will say that the new VeggieTales movie is a hit. It was a really funny movie. At one point they mentioned TiVo. Next thing you know they are talking about tea. Later there are Cheetos. OK. TiVo, tea, Cheetos. Snack time!!!

It is a great flick for kids 1-101. I guess you are not a kid if you are one hundred and one... anyway, this movie doesn't really follow a Bible story like most of the other VeggieTale movies. All I can say is that it is a four and a half star movie.

Once during the movie I was sitting in my mom's lap and I looked over to my left. In the row behind us there was a five year old girl leaning over my 'old' seat staring and smiling at me. Now how freaky is that?!

Well, Mom is calling. Guess I should go. I will write tomorrow.

VeggieTales!!!!!!

2008-01-12T11:47:00.000-06:00

I will say that I absolutely LOVE VeggieTales. Yesterday they came out with a new movie called The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, and I am happy to say that we are going to see it today! Yea! (Like My Ryhme!) This is the only thing that we have planned to do today.

So... Monday I will probably blog about the movie and how wacky it is.

Happy Birthday!!!

2008-01-10T09:24:00.000-06:00

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Mama, Happy Birthday to you! And Many More...

I would like to dedicate this blog post to my mom. Today is her 34th birthday, so please post a comment on her blog, The Queen B, wishing her a happy birthday. I am not telling you that you have to, but it would make her feel happy. Right now she just feels old.

I am not telling you what her B-day present is because she doesn't know what it is yet. Infact... I don't even have it yet. I mean, I ordered it and everything its just that, well... its not here yet.

I have been thinking, and I would like to tell my mom a few things: Mom, I love you with all my heart. I wouldn't trade any mom for you. I know sometimes I'm not the best kid in the world ,but I think you are the best mom in the world. I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Happy Birthday Mama.

That Song

2008-01-08T18:23:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I spent the whole day shredding 5,000,000 credit card applications. While I was shredding 5,000,000 credit card applications I watched Noggin. The little kid channel. As in, like, 1 year old kids.

As I watch Noggin, there is a sweet little song playing. After that I watch The Wonder Pets. Oh, there's that little song playing again! Then I watch Max & Ruby. Once again there's that "sweet" little song... I'm about to bust my head open!!! OK Princess. Calm down.

I finally decided to take a break and go online. I went to Noggin's website. Guess what?! That stupid song was on their website! I am going to freak out. I am still freaking out.

Is it possible to die from a song? I think I am slowly. Here's the song:

Everywhere I Go

Days are the sunniest, jokes are the funniest, rabbits are the bunniest, bee hives are the hiveyest, elephants are the wettyest, troubles are the runniest everywhere I go. Straws are the bendiest, time is the spendiest, cards are the sendiest, books are the lendiest, friends are the friendyest everywhere I go. Berries are the berriest, shoes are the shoeyest, puppies are the cutiest, treasure is the lootiest, teams are the rootiest, horns are the tootiest everywhere I go. Birds are the tweetiest, candy is the sweetiest, socks are the feetiest, tricks are the treatiest, drums are the beatiest, lunch is the eatiest everywhere I go. Flowers are the smelliest, jams are the jelliest, rain is the umbrelliest, tales are the telliest, wishing is the welliest, buttons are the belliest everywhere I go. Skys are the bluiest, cows are the mooiest, gum is the chewiest, ghosts are the booiest, goo is the gooiest, you can be your youiest everywhere I go!

See the misery?

Guitar Hero

2008-01-06T21:26:00.000-06:00

Rock Out!! I would strongly recommend Guitar Hero for kids nine years and older. It is so much fun!

It takes strength, rhythm, and patience. Let's just say that the Queen B doesn't have any of these things. We take her to the practice session, let her pick her song, and she starts it... BOOM! She slams the guitar on the floor and walks out. After that I just tell her she's a sore loser and not fun to play with. Dad just laughs the whole time.

So... Dad- Good at GH; Princess- Good at GH; and Mom- Extremely Bad at GH.

No offense, Mom.

<<<<<<<*added later*>>>>>>>

Everyone who has Guitar Hero knows the last challenge that is on the easy setting. They also know that it's impossible to beat... well, not for a Princess!!!!!! I won!! WOO HOO!!! All I know is that it was very tough.

TIP: When ya mess up keep going.

Chloe... My First Pet & Cat

2008-01-04T16:00:00.000-06:00

Chloe was my first pet and cat. She is 13 years old. She used to have a brother ,but he passed away. :(

She is a Himalayan (aka Color Point Persian). We took her to the vet the other day and they said she had something wrong with her eye. Poor girl.

Once I was sick and she sat by me the whole day. How sweet. She is so sweet that everytime I blog on my bed she's right there by me. Speaking of... she's right by me now. Has anyone ever had a cat that you will never forget? That's Chloe.

(I wonder if she will ever forgive us for buying Oliver? Probably not.)

Now it's time to tell the story of how we got her. More like how my Mom got her. My parents had just gotten married in December and it was about to be Mom's birthday, which in fact is coming VERY soon, and Dad had to find a gift for her. That's when he found Chloe and Murphy. He had asked his sisters to go and pick them up. Then, on her birthday she went to do a few things, came back and there were two little puff balls walking in the house. Yep, that's their story!

It Can't Be

2008-01-03T20:10:00.000-06:00

I am the kind of person who would rather watch an older show like Full House than a new Disney Channel Original movie. I am non-stop watching an old tv classic. Not that I don't watch any new ones, but I do like the old shows better than the new ones. Some of them aren't even that old! My favorite shows are Full House, Brady Bunch, 7th Heaven, Little House on the Prairie, Saved By the Bell and a few others.

For Christmas I got Full House The Eighth Season. When I received it I started to read the back. It said... LAST SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!! How is this possible!!! So now, as I write this blog I watch the last season of Full House. I think I am going to cry, but I'll suck it up.

Hopefully I will soon stop crying about (sniff, sniff) The Last Season of Full House...

Life Is Sweet

2008-01-01T02:00:00.000-06:00

Two words: American Girl.

I had the second best time of my life! OK... I have got to tell you the whole story. Yesterday morning I was about to blow with excitement. I immediately ran to the phone to call Mimi. (The Queen Mother). I told her to get up and get going. I got dressed and was ready to go. The only problem was... Mom and Dad weren't ready. I had to wait an hour for them. When they were done I called Mimi to see where she was running. She was still in bed. We decided to go on. Sorry Mimi.

We walked there. We walked in. I was freaking out. I went to the security person and asked,"Where's the doll hair salon?" She showed me where it was and I walked over there. We waited in line for a little bit. The suddenly Dad asked,"So, what is this all about?" Apparently he missed the whole idea of AG. We told him that there were the Historical dolls, the Just Like You dolls, and then the Girl of the Year. After that he understood. He was quite interested in Addy.

When we got up there I told the sweet lady I wanted the Ponytail Veil on Nicki. She told us to pick her up at 1:20 p.m. OK. Add to list of stuff to do: Pick up Nicki at 1:20.

Shopping time!!! I got the stuff on my wishlist and then Mimi came. I shopped a little more and was done.

I still had quite a bit of money left in my budget. I walked around and there she was. Julie. My mom's BFF. She was born the same year my mom was born so... she feels 'connected.' I counted my money. She's mine now. She is so cute! After that I went hunting for Julie's accessory kit. It came with her hat, necklace, purse, and a quarter.

Then we went to the second floor. It was the bistro part... and a little boutique. I found two things on my wishlist so I grabbed them and then I heard a calling for the Princess. I dropped them and ran to my mom. Turns out the AG people let us in early for lunch. The Queen also got me reservations for the bistro. The dolls each had their own chair they could sit in. It was so cute! The food was great, so I of course was happy. During the eating process Mom asked if I wanted to get Julie's hair done. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After lunch I went to buy the two things I forgot. I went straight downstairs to get Julie's hair done. ( Thank Goodness for escalators!) We picked up Nicki and oh my word she was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

Next: drop Julie off. This time I wanted to watch. We asked if we could drop her off and come back to watch. She said yes we could. So that's what we did. As the time passed, I was worried. What if they didn't understand that I wanted to watch? What if they are doing her now? These questions went through my mind as fast as time. Then it was time to go watch. I told a lady what we were there for. " ......Oh, I'm sorry she's already done." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was right! And not in a good way! The kind lady that told me this said that she would be glad to do it again. I told her no... she's already done. She said that the girl that did it didn't do it very good and she was going to do it again no matter what. Thank you sweet lady.

Now I am happy with my girls by my side and wishing you a Happy New Year!!

This Is Going To Cost You

2007-12-31T11:31:00.000-06:00

Yea! Today I am going to The American Girl Place Boutique and Bistro in Dallas. I don't live in Dallas, I'm just vacationing here for The Cotton Bowl. This Christmas I got the girl of the year, Nicki. With it came a note saying that I would get to go to the American Girl Place on New Year's Eve. After that... let's just say your ears would have been ringing. I still can't believe I am going. Yesterday we drove by it and guess what?! IT'S A TWO STORY BUILDING! I have made a wish list on their website and I am ready to go. All I have to do is go find Nicki in my cluttered bag of toys and we're off! After being at the bottom of that bag, it's a good thing she can get her hair done while we're there!

This Ain't Pretty

2007-12-30T11:44:00.000-06:00

OK. Yesterday I woke up and went to put on my Ugg slippers. My pajamas were a pink tank top and stripped shorts. I went down stairs with my two favorite Webkinz and my book. I lost my shoe and went to get it, put it on and...OH MY WORD!!!!!

Did I actually do this? Did I actually put on the most horrific thing I could possibly find in my closet? I was surprised that I didn't have a heart attack and faint. I still don't believe that I did this. I don't think I will ever forgive myself. Do you think I am going on about this to much? I probably am. The fact is that I am a fashion queen, and a princess! I am a princess and I dressed myself horridly! After that I decided to wear clothes that did match.

See? This is really cute. So I have learned my lesson: Never wear pajama shorts with Ugg slippers.
