Christmas. It's late, I know, I'm sorry.

Well, it's 2 days after Christmas, and 4 days till 2010!!!
I got a lot of stuff for Christmas.
In my stocking:
A Toblerone, Santa Snickers, Trident Layers Strawberry/Citrus gum, a big green M&M (as big as the palm of my hand!) filled with regular M&Ms, and a "Magic Santa" ornament from Santa.
From Santa:
The ornament.
From Mom/Dad:
A purple striped shirt, skinny jeans, diamond earrings, and peace sign earrings.
From sister & brother:
Scribblenauts (a game for Nintendo DS/ DSi)
From Grandma:
Gardening Mama (for Nintendo DS), a Nintendo DSi (!!!!!!!!!! My dad helped fund it), and a bracelet.
From my uncle:
A $35 gift card for Target.
From my aunts:
A bag from Auntie Mary, and $33 from Auntie Myrna.

Then we went to my mom's brother's house. The one whose birthday was 5 days ago. My mom's family was there, like her nieces and nephews and sister and brother.
From my uncle's kids, my uncle, and his wife:
A jewelry kit, some jewelry, 4 books in a series, and a learn to knit kit.
From my aunt's kids, my aunt, and her BFF:
The mishap. My brother, who just wanted to open presents and didn't care who they were actually for, opened one of mine which was a box with a shirt, scarf (which is so cute!!!!), and 3 pairs of boyshorts. Everyone in the room started laughing, especially when my brother held them up and said, "For me?" I buried my face in my hands and died laughing a little with my family. A ballerina music box, too. Can't forget a pink ballerina music box.
From my Nana:
A striped scarf with matching fingerless gloves with that little pouch you can pull over your fingers, and 2 pairs of super soft homemade pajama shorts (my mom picked out the fabric).

Then, yesterday, we went shopping, at Target (where I bought a black fedora with a peacock feather), then Sports Authority, then home, then we rested awhile while Dad went to Costco to get our flat tire fixed, then me & mom went to UTC so we could go to Pottery Barn Kids and Anthropologie, then we went to Borders, bought a cream-cheese-filled herb pretzel, and ate it while mom read "Dead Until Dark", the True Blood story, and I read some celebrity magazines, which I really really enjoy.

Well that's all for now. Look at all this! =)

2 more days!!!!!

I can't believe it.... Only 2 more days until Christmas!!!!! And we just got our Christmas tree last night, and right now it's fully decorated... I don't currently have a good picture, but soon I will. Maybe a video too... Follow me on my Twitter (http://twitter.com/imrosete) for a possible update on the tree.

But for now, there's other stuff I should be talking about... like yesterday. We went to my uncle's (and cousins' and aunt's) house. Boy is he lucky. His birthday is 3 days before Christmas- DOUBLE the presents!!!!! And, it is now officially 2 days after the first day of winter! December is going by fast man. It's kind of almost scary. Wait, today's Wednesday, right? Right. So what special news do I have for Wednesday? Not much really. Just that, um, I don't have ballet today. My dad got a holiday bonus- "the best kind." And I'm happy for him.

Feedback: What are YOU doing for Christmas (or the HOLIDAYS, if you don't celebrate Christmas)?

Close to a French word, I think...

Glamorous.

I am obsessed with that word.

My nails are glittery and glamorous today. Homework is so much easier with glamorous nails.

Izzy-B's posterous update: If you are on Izzy-B's posterous right now, congratulations. You are most likely looking at the glamorous new color scheme I just finished updating. If you are on Izzy's Blog right now, please move your cursor down to the orange link that says "izzy-b's holiday blog!!!!" and click. Congratulations, you are now on Izzy-B's Holiday Blog.

Just one thing that is totally UNglamorous: I forgot to wish everyone a glamorous Thanksgiving. So that's what I'm doing now.

 

Bye.

THE CULLEN HOUSE IS FOR SALE

Would you like to live in the Cullen house? It may seem impossible, but if you have 3 million dollars laying around it could be yours.

It is a design home with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool and some amazing views. Oh yeah, and it was the Cullen house in the movie New Moon. That's why the house is so expensive, because it was in the movie that is breaking all the records at the box office.

In the first weekend it was out, New Moon has become the third more profitable movie in history, behind Spiderman 3 and Batman.

Because of the success of the movie, someone may buy the house like a collector's item and not touch a thing, leaving it just as it was when it was the Cullen home.

The company which is selling the house has received many call from people who are interested in seeing the house. However, many of these people are just fans who want to walk through the house where Edward and friends spent so much time.

Wow. This is just crazy. And funny, too. My mom would love this. =)

Remind you of someone?

I knew a girl that was so stupid that.......

She called me to get my phone number.
She spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice box because it said ''concentrate.''
She put lipstick on her forehead because she wanted to make up her mind.
She tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order.
She sent me a fax with a stamp on it. 

She tried to drown a fish.
She thought a quarterback  was a refund.
She got locked in a grocery store and  starved to death.
She tripped over a cordless phone.
She took a ruler to bed to see how long she slept.
She asked for a price check at the Dollar Store.
She studied for a blood test.

 When she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved.
When she missed the 44 bus, she took the 22 bus twice instead.
When she took you to the airport she saw a sign that said ''Airport Left'' so she turned around and went home.

She threw a bird off a cliff to kill it.
She turned off the ''big fan'' in a helicopter when she got cold.
Now copy and paste this into an empty email message and send it to at least 5 people or you'll get bad luck for
7 years! 
0-4 people =Bad luck for 7 years
5-9 people =You will meet your idol someday
10-14 people =Good luck for 7 years

15 or more all of the above and you'll get everything you
want in life
After you send this to 20 people a yellow box will pop up..
Click on it.
A great surprise will appear!!

Half days and more...

Finally the time has come. Half days starting today and going through Friday. Yay, I'm happy. And now that I have said what I need to, I have nothing else to say. Well, I'm eating my lunch. Who likes cheese in sandwiches thick-cut with some ham AND turkey? I do- it's what I  am eating. Oh I know! Mom, if you are reading this can you tell Angelina that I hope she feels better, thanks. Also tell her I saw her bffs and they wish she wasn't sick. They really miss her. And I do too, tell her that. So, yeah. My sister has a cough, sore throat, and a little bit of a fever. She was kept home last Friday, both of us were kept home Monday- I was kind of dizzy, and she's still at home. I hope she doesn't miss the whole week at school. Last night, to fall asleep, she insisted I tell her a story fresh from my brain. So I told her my version of Cinderella, with herself being Cinderella, Mom being the stepmother, me being one of the ugly stepsisters, and one of her friends being the other. A guy in her class was the prince, and right when I was telling my sister why Mom wasn't a bridesmaid, I heard heavy breathing and knew she had fell asleep. It was cute. Hope I don't get in trouble for talking past curfew, Mom. =)

So. I have a few things to share today.
Part I
Student Council
I won. I won the position of International Baccalaureate Officer. And I spelled Baccalaureate right the first time without ANY help.
My friends. They won. They won President (Ashley), Yearbook Editor (Adira), Newspaper Editor (Alex- she's a girl, not a boy), and Secretary (Laura).

Part II
Friday the 13th
I think that's all I need to say, besides don't step on a crack, or spill salt (is that what it is?), or walk under a ladder, unless Jason will be out to get you.

Part III
Halloween Weekend and Other Stuff Part Deux
Finally it's time for Saturday. On Saturday, I went to my mom's friend's sister, Astra's house to go trick or treating. First, dad, my sister, and I went to ballet, with my sister in costume, because her ballet teacher wanted her to or something. After that, we had rehearsal for the Nutcracker. Nothing new. After rehearsal, we all drove home, put our costumes on, got our trick or treat bags, and everyone, including my cousin who was sleeping over because her mom was out of town, left, except for me and my mom. She had to put my makeup on me. After that, we left. It was barely around 5 when we got to Astra's house, so we waited- for Astra's mom and Astra's sister Asia's almost-1 daughter Kiki to get their costumes on. It was also Penny's 4th Birthday. Penny is Kiki's sister. We wished Penny a happy birthday, and went outside to take a couple of pictures. After that everyone was ready, and around 5:30, we left for candy. We got SOOOOOOO much candy, my bag was heavy halfway through! We weren't even done! Finally we stopped back at Astra's house for some water and a bathroom break, then looped around a whole 'nother 2 blocks or so. It was only 7:30 halfway through. So we went around another block, then again got back to Astra's house. Along the way, we saw a real police car with a skeleton in it on a lawn and about 7 FULLY decked-out houses, with skeletons, pumpkins, lights, zombies, tombstones, mummies, glowing red eyes, and even a huge remote control rat. It was around 8 when we left to get back home.
Now it's time for Sunday, Penny's birthday party. After rehearsal, just me and dad, I got my costume on. When we got to the park, I was pretty much the only kid wearing her costume, except for Penny. Not even my sister or brother, even though my mom said I should bring my costume. If I have to, why don't they? After the pinata, we made cupcakes with homemade frosting, sprinkles, candy corn, M&Ms, and my favorite- Funfetti cupcake mix. Those are good! After that I played on the playground with the kids (my brother, Tristan; sister, Angelina; Penny, Ecco, Eien) and my cousin. Then we had to go- me, my sister, and my dad home; my mom, cousin, and brother to go drop m cousin off at her house.

Part IV, or VI, or whatever 4 is.
I really don't have a Part 4 today. Whatever. Oops.
