baby shower

today our church held a baby shower for my mom. she is due to have a baby boy on the 25th of february. i am really excited. there was a lot of people there. i'm not really sure what else to write, so bye :)

hello, 2010

i was all excited that i had time to post and now i am just sitting here trying to think about a topic to blog about. i could tell you about my day, but that would be very boring. we went to Friendly's for lunch. it was okay :/ now we are just sitting around the house being bum's. i can't believe that tomorrow is Christmas Day. we are going to the Christmas Eve service at church and then to my gramma's house. i am looking at my email and realsimple sent me the "prettiest cookie ever". it looks pretty good.

etsy finds - n.2

here are my picks for the week. i tried to find scarf, and don't get me wrong there were tons of scarfs, but i didn't see amy i liked and the pictures didn't look very professional. sorry, i have a very bad case of OCD. i really liked these ones though.

dear computer,

i really like you. you are useful for many things. such as, writing my english project, talking with friends and famil, and even blogging. but, lovely computer, why do you do this to me? why do you decide to not work on the day that i am already feeling pretty lousy? i hope we can set aside our differences and be friends again :)

you don't know how much i want to rip my hair out... okay, so maybe that is an exagerattion(i don't even know if i spelled that right). but i am really annoyed. i just tried to publish a post TWICE!! and i don't even know if this will work. maybe i will copy and paste it into word... this is really frustrating i thought that i would post a christmas video. i haven't put a song on in a while... well the computer decides that it doesn't want to upload a video.

i haven't been feeling great. just a cold, but cold's can feel like the worst thing on earth. i feel like sleeping all day and i don't want to get the rest of my family sick :( i could go on and on complaining...

christmas came really fast this year, has it not? i can't believe that christmas eve is tomorrow. by the way: did you know that today is christmas adam? tomorrow is christmas eve, and adame comes before eve. so that makes today christmas adam. we are going to my gramma's tomorrow and i am going to see my baby cousin for the first time(!!!) i would put a picture but i feel like that would be weird. or matbe i am just weird? anyways he is the cutest baby ever! and no, i am not lying ;)

click here if you want to hear the song that i was trying to post earlier:

i heard the bells on christmas day-casting crowns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Of peace on earth good will to men

And the bells are ringing
Like a choir they're singing
In my heart I hear them
Peace on earth, good will to men


And in despair I bowed my head
There is no peace on earth I said
For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men

But the bells are ringing
Like a choir singing
Does anybody hear them?
Peace on earth, good will to men

Then rang the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men

Then ringing singing on its way

The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men

And the bells they're ringing
Like a choir they're singing
And with our hearts we'll hear them
Peace on earth, good will to men

Do you hear the bells they're ringing?
The life the angels singing
Open up your heart and hear them
Peace on earth, good will to men

Peace on earth, Peace on earth
Peace on earth, Good will to men

i was thinking about doing vlogs(video blogs) instead of regular blogs. or maybe doing a little bit of both. i don't quite know yet. leave a comment with your opinion :)

edit: i just looked at my posts and was saying in my head, "are you serious?" because all those posts i tried to publish got saved as drafts :tide
