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! =)

Feedback...

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.

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. =)

Stuff

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.

Halloween Weekend and Other Stuff

This weekend was Halloween weekend and I got lots of delish candy. I don't know why I am waiting till now to talk about this stuff.
On Friday our school's Halloween carnival was held. I don't know why they can't have it on Halloween. Who doesn't want to go to a Halloween carnival on the actual day? The fifth grade carnival booth was actually not a booth at all. It was a haunted schoolhouse. And there were dead people. Just kidding. Us fifth graders were allowed to work up to 3 1 hour shifts- one through two for the bus kids and the kids who had to leave after the bell (because the carnival was to start after 12 and go through 4), two through three for whoever, three through 4 for whoever. I worked from 2 to 4. For my first shift, I was the principal, Miss Deathacariis (because our real principal's name is Mrs. DeVicariis). It was kind of boring because only one group was allowed in at a time and the whole schoolhouse tour was about 4 minutes, so there was barely ever a group. First you would see me, and I would say to you, "Welcome to Spooksville Elementary. Don't forget to sign up for school on the way out- if you can find your way out." Then the tour guide, my friend, Franci, or Connor, would lead you into the biology room, where there is a kid on the table and the teacher is giving a lesson in dissecting. The poor kid has fake guts hanging out and has a bloody shirt on. The Secret to the guts: the ripped up bloody shirt is covering a Ziploc bag with red-dyed macaroni and spaghetti. The biology students are cool. One under the table scared to death (Jack) and one taking the guts out with tongs (Madison, my friend). After the biology room, you go into the library where there are picture frame people in pretend picture frames pretending to read books while reaching out at you. Then you go into the detention room where someone is chained to the desk and another to the wall. They are screaming,"GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!" and stuff like that. Then you go into the cafeteria where the cook is serving the special of grilled students. There is a table with a hole in it for the head, and the person who is the grilled student has grill mark makeup on their face. But the grilled student, Gabe, got scared of the constant screaming and had to leave instantly. So Madison, Nick (the biology teacher), and Griffin, the guy being dissected, had to switch out every few groups to be the head. Jack couldn't because he WOULD NOT give his spot up under the table- WOULD NOT. After the cafeteria, you would go into the playground/cemetery with a coffin with someone in it with Jed the baby. Jed is a purple evil demon baby that my friend's dad bought for her. After that you get out.
Next shift I was dissecting. That's it, you wouldn't skip a room from three to four. Nothing special.
Wow, look at all this writing. And that's only Friday. I am going to post this in parts because there is NO way I can fit all of it in just one email. Peace we out.

Dim Sum

Right now I'm at Dim Sum and it's not bad, not bad at all. All I ate
was rice, rice porridge, shrimp wrapped in something, deep fried
shrimp balls (not THAT kind), and chicken shumai. I liked the chicken
shumai, and the deep fried shrimp. Maybe next time I'll try the
chicken feet. Just kidding. =)

Questions

I just watched 17 Again. LOVED IT!!! It was so funny. My mom sent me away for the "older people" parts. Ah, I love a funny movie. I liked the part where Mark was in court with Scarlet and he recited the love letter from Mike, and Scarlet saw it and it was just the directions. Cute. But this is about "Questions." So I'll get in to that.

And I wanna ask you all some questions. And I want you to ask me questions. And give me suggestions. What can I do to make my blog better? I need suggestions. And the questions I want to ask you-- Just the regular old personality questions. What is your favorite band? Mine are Green Day, Black Eyed Peas, and Kings of Leon even though I've only heard "Use Somebody." Then, the other favorites. Singer, food, color, movie, TV show, sport, day of the week Those are my questions for you. And what exactly are your questions for me? =)

First Post!!

Hi! I'm Isabella. I have been posting through Blogger for 2 years, but now my dad has convinced me to give Posterous a try. I am 10 years old and through my super tech-smart dad, I have been getting into blogging, Twittering (@imrosete), and the internet in general. I am in 5th grade and when I'm not in school, I'm at ballet, hanging out at my dad's office, or playing at home with my brother and sister. I love reading, music, writing, and doodling. I like school and have a nice teacher and awesome friends.

If you want to check out any previous Blogger posts, check out my old blog, which Posterous will be updating as I update from Posterous, http://www.isabellarosete.blogspot.com/ . Thanks!

Posterous

Hello everyone, Izzy's blog may switch to Posterous! Check the site out and comment- should Izzy's blog switch sites? It seems extremely easy. Or should Izzy's blog stay? Because I already have what, 7 followers and like 150 posts? I really need your guys' opinion. This is a 10-year old blogger's personal dilemma. I need help! Can you guys please please please comment? I really need your help! Thank you guys so, so much!

Yay

4 things I have successfully, officially, and recently changed/done:
1. Changed: My dual screen computer background...

2. Changed: My Twitter background.

3. Done: Added my Twitter Tweets to the sidebar! Check 'em out!

4. Done: Typed up the answers to the interview questions for IB ambassador! If you want to peek at 'em, comment and email to the email in the sidebar under my picture in the profile.


I don't know why but I want to say thanks. =)

Burger Lounge!

Tonight, we are going to the Burger Lounge! We're getting free burgers- I don't know why. My dad just said we are when we passed by McDonald's, the fast food restaurant, and my sister said,"Ooh, I wanna go to McDonald's!"

I just finished my word study homework and feel I need to put prepositions and appositives and conjunctions into all my sentences.

I found this super funny video on the internet- it's by the Jonas Brothers (except the one that's getting married), their agent Big Rob (the big guy), Demi Lovato, and the rest of the Camp Rock 2 cast. It's called Bounce, and it's super funny- did I already say that?

I also wanted to introduce you guys to one of my favorite websites ever- awkwardfamilyphotos.com. If you scroll down to about halfway through the page, you will find a title- SNS*: Proud Papa. This is very very funny.

That's it for today. Check out all the links and tell your neighborhood hobos to say hi to the other neighborhood hobos and to become friends with each other- they will eventually thank you (or hug you).

*SNS is Saturday Night Special, F.Y.I.

The Journey of ME- Macy Bart

For once, it's not a book I'm reading. It's a book I'm writing. So, I think, it would take too long to just type it here, and the people who don't wanna hear it won't have anything to do. So, I've typed it into a document. If you'd like to read it, send anything to my email in the sidebar, but make sure to indicate that you would like to read it. When I see it, I will try to email the document to you.
And it would be nice if all the spammers who are spamming me to stop spamming me. I'm sorry for the rest of you guys (who aren't spammers) have to hear this.
Well I'm gonna go now. Remember, email me for the (unfinished so far) story. If you are going to send me an email, please comment that you are going to because I check the comments regularly and that way I can know when to check my Gmail. Thanks, and tell your mom I said hi.
-Izzy =)

Hello people of the world

... and all everything elses. I'm eating skittles again. Wanna know why? OK, I've told you this before, but if you need to be reminded, I'm eating them because they're very yummy. Now do you remember?
OK. So, as I think I've told you before, my school is an IB (international baccalaureate) school. And I'm running for student council again this year. And I'm not running for president this year. I'm running for IB ambassador. It's where you technically represent the school, but like internationally. My teacher said I'd definitely win. She also said I'd be really good. And, it's an appointed position. There's only 2 other people running, so the interview with the principal is probably gonna be pretty easy.
Well I'm leaving. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya! (Just kidding.)

It's me!

Yes, it's me. At 8 in the morning. Hunched over the computer, with the sun (finally) up.
My friend, victoria bleu, who is following this blog, is now on twitter! She hasn't tweeted anything yet, but visit her anyway... @ballet_victoria! Well, BYE!
PS: I like saying Bye.
PPS If you want to open the link in a new tab, hold the "command" button and click the link while it's held down.

OCTOBER! (and a field trip)

Halloween is now officially this month.
We are now officially going to the air show. We weren't so sure, because everybody needed their paperwork in, and then it all got in, and then we were short a driver for just 2 people, and then we called the other teacher, and then that's when she said she had 2 extra seats. So we're going!
PS:I'm eating Skittles. Skittles are yummy.

It's almost October!

It's crazy, isn't it?
So, the fifth grade is hosting a haunted house for the halloween carnival, like they do every year. (And now it's finally our turn!)
My family and I were going to be the Adam's family, but my Nana might not come through to helping us make the costumes. My friend gave me the link to a costume site, and it's really nice. You should check it out if you don't know what to be for Halloween (still).
Well, I'm off. Bye!

It's a (party scene) girl!!!

Yes. I'm going to rehearsal for Party Scene today. I had rehearsal yesterday for Russian corps. My shoes from last year are too small for me now. I have to get new ones.
Being a girl is hard! (And I don't mean that life-wise.) What I mean is, in Party Scene, I keep doing the boy stuff. Last week we finished the whole first part of Party Scene; there are multiple parts for party scene. The kids are on for like almost the whole first act. Well, I'm gonna go now.


PS: This is after rehearsal... I just had to eat lunch then I left.

Hehe

I was just browsing this site called awkwardfamilyphotos.com and THIS is really funny...
Just look at it. You know you want to.


PS:
No, I'm not mad at her. I love her. See? Twisted Sister- that's what I got.

100TH POST!!!!

When I saw "99 posts, last posted whenever," I was like, "YES!!!! Special 100th post!"
The 1st special thing of the special 100th post...
I memorized the Preamble! ....
We the People of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Right off the top of my head.
The 2nd special thing of the special 100th post...
I am listening to Taylor Swift on my iPod. She is awesome. Did you guys hear about her and Kanye West at the VMAs? I heard she cried backstage.
The third special thing about the special 100th post...
WE ARE GETTING A MINIVAN!!!! Our old car broke down.
The 4th special thing about the special 100th post...
Izzy's Blog is going to have a new game. I am going to give a small excerpt of one of the latest songs, and you have to guess who sings it and what the song is.
The 5th special thing about the special 100th post...
The song excerpt of the week is...
"She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts, she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers..."
Post your answers in a comment, by next week, the 25th.
The 6th special thing about the special 100th post...
Our first field trip! In October, 5th graders are going to the Air Show.
The 7th special thing about the special 100th post...
Auditions for my ballet school's performance of The Nutcracker were held. The parts, which were posted on Wednesday, are... I don't know what they are. Anyway, the parts I got... I dropped 3 parts since last time. Last year I was a Russian corps, an angel, a pollichinelle, a soldier, and a party scene boy. This year I am still a Russian and Party Scene, but I'm a girl this year. I dropped pollichinelle, angel, and soldier, and gained the part as a girl in party scene. My sister auditioned and she is a polichinelle. It's her 1st year.
The 8th special thing about the special 100th post...
IT'S THE 100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh!

Another follower, already! Thank you, Aline M. Sanchez!
In fifth grade, our teacher says we should memorize the preamble to the Constitution. I have the beginning + end + some other parts memorized....
We the People of the United States in order to find a more perfect country....
...domestic tranquility...
...promote the general welfare...
...do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

My brother.

He says to dad: "You're awesome!"
He says to my sister: "You're pretty!"
He says to me: " You're inTWISting." I love the way he says interesting.
He doesn't say anything to my mom because she's in Mexico again.
You'll find the reason why here. You really need to read this.

Thanks...

I woke up at 7:10 this morning. That's sort of early for me, because earlier in the summer, I was waking up at 10, 9:30.
I just wanted to say thanks to Jennifer Kirkland and Valerie because they are now following me! I also want to say thanks to mrosete, victoria bleu, and Suzanne Akemi for also following me.

Yo!

Hey! It's Izzy! Today was the last day of the first week of school! I'm kind of excited, because a new week means another Thursday, which means I'm gonna have JAZZ! In Ballet I got moved up 1 level, and one of the requirements for that level is Jazz classes. For me, it's so much fun. Man, this keyboard needs cleaning. This is my first time using this keyboard because I'm at my dad's office in one of his old office mate's office, and I'd never been in here before. Also I have an announcement, the celebrity, whatever thingy and the yay/boo are both off. I won't be having them. Sorry...

First Day of School!

Yay, today was the first day of FIFTH GRADE!!!!!! The teacher I have is really nice. She let us pick who we want to sit next to, where we want to sit, all that .My table is an all girl table, my best friend from third grade, my friend from last year, and one of my friends from 2nd grade. It's nice. I don't know what else to say, besides it's awesome being able to be with all girls, and my teacher's nice. Oh, yes... guess how many new kids are in my class? 8. Yes, you saw it right. Eight, 8. 8 new kids. The best thing is me and my sister are both gonna graduate- me from 5th, her from Kindergarten. It's special.
The other day (yes this is funny in a way) Taylor Swift's "Love Story" was playing on the radio, and my sister was like,"It's Taylor Swift!" and since me and my sister are both OBSESSED with Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black in Twilight, and my brother does know who he is, he said,"No it's Taywer WUT-ner." which is how he pronounces Lautner.
Also about boy crushes- my mom's, Robert Pattinson also known as RPatz- we were all at Barnes & Noble the other day, and my mom said to me while we were in the magazines section,"We were here yesterday, and you know what your brother said? He picked this up-" and she picked up a biography about RPatz- "And said, 'Oooh he's handsome!' " she cracked up. Funny, funny brothers. They may be annoying sometimes, but they sure are funny. what else do they have to be?

I don't know what to name this post.

Well the sleepover with my cousin starts today. I'll blog about some of our fun later when I'm at her house. I gotta feelin' that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night. I really do. I'm also SICK of super-catchy songs about nothing really in particular- just about problems, stomping the house, jammin' jams, and great days- from the Fresh Beat Band, on Nick jr. They're annoying, and just TOO catchy. "We had a great day, it was a super way... to spend... some time together..."

September!!!

Yay! It's September!
Boo! School starts in a week!
Yay! I'm starting fifth grade!
Boo! It's gonna be hard!
I could just do this yay/boo thing all day. I should have, like, a whole day dedicated to that. Yeah, I should do that. On the first day of every month, a Yayboo Fest, I list awesome things and not awesome things, one for each day. And that is in addition to the celebrity birthdays.
Anyway, the answers to the riddles. Thanks to missus_raroo (twitter.com/missus_raroo) for answering to the GRY riddle on twitter. You were right, missus_raroo! The answer to the GRY riddle is...
So, after the two sentences that throw you off, you have "There are only three words in the english language. What is the third word?" Highlight "the english language". The third word in "the english language" is language. Good job, missus_raroo!

Answer to the apples riddle:
The fourth girl took the basket with the apple in it, so the apple was still left in the basket.

Again, Thanks to missus_raroo for answering to the GRY riddle!!!!!

Ouch.

Worst sunburn ever from yesterday. Ugh, I've been sunburnt before, just not THIS badly! Who has been burned before, like REALLY badly? Do you have any advice on how to ease the pain? Man, I wish I didn't have this super-bad sunburn! What else can I talk about? Oh. Yes. The answer to the riddles from last Tuesday will be up tomorrow! So, if you know the answer to one of the riddles or both of the riddles, post them before tomorrow! You can send comments to my twitter address, twitter.com/imrosete. One person has commented an answer. But I'm not telling you who she is. Well, I am off. Gosh. That sounded like an old movie, the lady dressed up all fancy who almost hit the old hobo and veered to the side of the road and got her car stuck in the swamp. "Well. I am off. Good day to you, sir."

The beach

Yesterday I went to the beach! It was so much fun, only it'd been reduced to a party of 10. We ate lunch, then went down to the beach for some waves. I got sprayed in the face, found some awesome seashells, and jumped rope with a four-foot piece of seaweed. Bernadette and Dave (holding the slimy seaweed) sang the 'Cinderella' jump rope rhyme. ''Cinderella dressed in yellow went upstairs to see her fellas how many kisses did she get?" And I got to 24! Yay....
I wish I could show you guys the shells, but I didn't take any pictures....
Well, I gotta leave soon... I need to go get my friend's present at Target for her birthday party today at a different beach. Bye!
-Izzy

Update

Yeah. Um, Celebrity Celebrating is starting next month, so.... yeah.
Oh yeah, and guess what! I'm going to the beach tomorrow with... 1, 2, 3.... 9 family friends (and my family) so that makes.... 14. Party of 14, party of 14. Please report to the beach. Well, see ya.

PS Remember, only 4 more days till the riddle answer!

BIG announcement!!!

Hey guys, I just have a VERY big announcement to make.
Izzy's Blog now has a new, special, bimonthly post! Like my mom's "Vintage Sunday," or other people's "Monthly Question," so I am going to have a Celeb Celebrations! Every month, I am going to post some fun pictures and awesome facts about a star on their birthday! You can request celebs to celebrate, and I might just celebrate him or her! Yay! I already have some pictures ready for some celebs like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga....
And, some celeb's celebrations are on the same day or week or month, so in one of the celebration posts it might be multiple stars.
This awesome bimonthly posting is starting later this month. Happy celeb-rating!

Pix

Hey you guys, I'm just kinda bored so I'm gonna show you some of my favorite pictures. All are makeover, design, and dress up games on this website. So... here they are....

My mom as a kid wearing her favorite color while playing Super Mario Brothers.

Rocker Chic (peace!)

Izzy's Pet Shop (click on image to enlarge it)

One of the best Singers ever, Lady Gaga - "Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my pokerface"

Another one of the best singers ever, Katy Perry - " 'Cause you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no"

One of my favorite actresses when Lizzy McGuire was still on TV, Hilary Duff

I have a Betty Boop Pirate Doll I got from the Corvette Diner. I dressed this dress up doll up like her- black striped 3-quarter sleeve shirt, black skirt, X-patterned socks (but this dress up game didn't have socks, so I went with leggings) and, well, the game didn't have her boots, so, for now, she's barefoot.

New Riddles!

Hey everybody, wahatcha been up to? I've been watching TV all day, because I have a bit of a fever, and a stuffy/runny nose. I have some new riddles for you all, though. One of them's kind of easy. Got it from the awesome riddlenut.com. Here it is:

There are four girls. There are four apples in a basket. They each take an apple, but one apple still remains in the basket. How was this possible?

Just let me say something- ah, back to the old riddle days!!!! ;) Next riddle!

The "GRY" riddle...
Think of words ending in -GRY. Two of them are "angry" and "hungry. There are only three words in the English Language. What is the third word?
(Hint: ignore the first 2 sentences. They're supposed to throw you off. And they did, didn't they?) :)

The answers will be up in a week. On September 1st, 2009 exactly. At least that's not the day of my friend's birthday party the day before, or the day I'm sleeping over at my cousin's house the 3rd-4th. She has a computer, but we might be having too much fun. Not that I don't like posting on my blog, I truly do love posting. It's just that- oh, forget it! I might be able to squeeze in a new post. Bye.

PYA!
(Post your answers!)

Well here I am...

.... Watching ESPN at 8:30 in the morning. I'm bored. If you are bored, my advice is to
a) check out my favorite blogs to the left (in the sidebar)
b) if you are one of the people who owns one of those blogs, update! What have you been doing lately?
c) read all the posts and/or comments on my blog, and count how many there are.
That's what you can do. I've done all these things- checked out my favorite blogs, updated my blog, and counted how many posts and comments I've had. But I'm not telling you... you have to do it yourself!

Yay :)

Finally Dad helped me set up the Twitter he made for me! Only following celebs though:) No tweets 4 me!
Also my friend called back from the time I left her a message asking her what she's doing for her birthday the 27th. She's having a party on the bay. Oodles of fun ;)

Stuff

Hey guys, what a nice week it's turning out to be. Monday, the dentist's wasn't so bad, just about 15 minutes. My spit tasted really bad after though, and the right bottom sealant I got makes me feel like I lost that tooth. It hurts when I chew soft things there, and whenever I run my tongue over it a certain way it aches. Tuesday we went to the doctor's for my Nana ( she's deaf, my mom's her interpreter ), Wednesday... Um, I don't remember what I did... Thursday, I went to the park with Kaz (Kazuoland, see sidebar), Akemi (AKEMI MONSTER!), and Mister Raroo (Game Time; Moments) with my family: my mom (Wannabe!), dad, sister, and brother. Today, Akemi and Kaz came over and hung out with us, then we walked the 4-block walk to the library together. Tomorrow, Nana's coming over because mom and dad are going to an art show for their anniversary on Sunday with my great aunt, her husband, and their 2 teenage daughters. And I still haven't decided what to make for mom and dad. Any ideas? Email me (my email is in the sidebar) or comment. And remember, I need the ideas by this Sunday at the least!

Wow.

I just can't believe school is starting on the 8th, not even 4 weeks away. What else can I do to have the best last few days of summer vacation? What would you do? Email me (my email address is at the left). Or comment, whichever is easier for you. I'm gonna go. See ya!

Yay!

Guess who ISN'T going to the dentist to get her 2 sealants today? Me, that's who! My appointment got canceled and it's been moved to Monday next week. Well guess who wants to go watch a whole season of Wizards of Waverly Place on Netflix, me that's who! Um, yeah... I'm gonna go do that. Bye.

Ick

I'm going to the dentist's this Friday. I'm gonna get my OTHER (yes my OTHER) two sealants. Yes, I have to get 2 more... At least they won't have to numb me again. It feels the weirdest, I really just hate it. Why can't we just be born with guards on all our teeth, that way the dentists won't have to make us our custom ones when we need them, we'll just have them ready for us and they grow with our teeth, fall out with our teeth, and yes grow new ones when our permanent teeth grow in. It should be a future improvement for the birth of all new human beings. Well I'm gonna go. Bye ;)

Well.

I couldn't post 4 a whole week because the server wouldn't load... so blame the server :) I went to see 2 of you people (who read this blog) yesterday; had the best time ever. Also yesterday I went to the New Children's Museum, it's so cool! There were so many awesome activities, can't describe 'em. It's gettin' late. Bye :)

Freaky Test

I just found the freakiest online test ever. Don't skip ahead.

Think of a number from 1 to 10.



Multiply the number by 9.



If it's a 2 digit number, add the digits together.



Subtract 5.



Determine what letter of the alphabet corresponds with the number (a=1)



Think of a country that starts with that letter.



Remember the last letter of that country's name.



Think of an animal that starts with that letter.



Remember the last letter of the animal's name.



Think of a fruit that begins with that letter.









Were you thinking of a kangaroo in Denmark eating an orange?
98% of the people who took this test were.
2% of the people who take this test aren't.


FREAKINESS!!!! :)

How to Annoy The Waiter :)

One day I was bored and I searched on Google the most complicated meals ever (and a whole lot of ways to bore the waiter). Here are some:
Breakfast at IHOP: "3 medium pancakes, with organic maple syrup, and margarine, perfectly cut in 1 inch by 1 inch squares, except for the edges of course, and then some perfectly scrambled eggs, 2 to be exact, for the side, lose the sausage- I hate the greasiness. Put in some bacon instead- 4 pieces. For my drink, I'd like a half a cup, but maybe... a sixth of a cup. Yes, that will do. For my dessert, I will have.... The Chocolate Trifle cake. Oooh, that sounds scrumptious! But let me put it straight how I want it. Chocolate cake on the bottom, vanilla mousse, vanilla cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, chocolate pudding on top- over the vanilla frosting. Then, I want some white-chocolate and chocolate shavings sprinkled on top, I want it drowning in pudding. Make that chocolate pudding. Jeremy, honey?" ($18.94)

Lunch at Sonic: "One burger, please. Oh, and make it a veggie burger. Only put the tomatoes, pickles, and onions in it. 3 slices of each. Can I also have your Oreo shake, 1 half cup, with a whole Oreo stuck on the glass like with cocktails, and then 1 Diet Coke, fill the glass 3/4 of the way, lose the foam. Then for dessert, I want.... Well, I've been trying to go with 'snacks' as dessert, so, I'll have... the mozzarella sticks. Don't make it 3 or 5, make it 4, or else I'll have to explode at work. Well, I guess that's it... Oh, but, can you add something to the menu and name it after me? My name is Isla, and I want you to add veggie cups to the menu. 3 dollars a cup, with baby carrots, corn, and sliced pickles. I don't care if pickles aren't veggie-like, I want them in the veggie cup! Give me a veggie cup. Add it to everything. 'The Isla Veggie Cup.' Yum." ($22.50)

Dinner at Ruby's: "Could I have the chicken fingers, white meat, no breading- 2 pieces. Oh, and yes, the Amazing Double-Triple, where it goes like, bun, meat, tomato, lettuce, onion, meat, tomato, lettuce, onion, meat, bread, meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, meat, tomato, lettuce, onion, meat, tomato, lettuce, onion-bun. I'll eat all that. Um, then, a Diet Coke, just a can. Well, that, and an Oreo shake. I had one at Sonic today for lunch too. Man, I love those! Make it half-cup. Make this just between you and me- I'm on a diet, so P.S. don't give me any white rice. Oh yeah, dessert. I trying for a snacks-for-dessert week, but I blew it this morning at IHOP. I had a triple-layer Chocolate Trifle. Like, what was I thinking!? So, ya got mozzarella sticks? Cool. I'll have 4 of those, like at Sonic, again! Ha! So, didja get that?" ($31.22)

The next morning, breakfast at Mickey D's... "A number 13 please." ($2.59)

So, all of that ended up as a total of exactly $75.25. Nice job dieting and spending, Isla! :)

Ha!

Was just watching Ni Hao, Kai-Lan with my brother. "Look! Some dandelions! I call them poofyheads. Let's blow the poofyheads, blow blow blow!"

P.S. I just got a homemade haircut. :)


P.P.S. My mom's playing Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo DS for the kids.


P.P.P.S. Super Mario Brothers = most intense game on the planet.


P.P.P.P.S. Does anyone have any tips on how to get past the second level, with the guy on the floating cloud, in the second world (in the Desert) ???? Like 2 of you video game people that I know have this game....


Never mind... my mom got past it... but, ah, Level 5... oh, I can't get past it! And the castle --- !!!!!

Seriously?!

Yesterday we were looking at pictures on our Wii from our mom's trip to Mexico. There were some really funny pictures. There was one of my mom's teenage cousin making her hair look all puffy and bouffant-y like Jackie O's. Then there was the 50-years birthday girl being thrown into the pool in her backyard, and a picture of her butt because my mom said that it was right next to her- why?- and she thought it was funny.
When the picture of my aunt's rented house in Ensenada came up, there was quite the conversation.
Me: " Why does her rented house say CIA?"
Mom: "It's not that kind of CIA."
My sister who knows how to spell her name, pool, daddy, mommy, love, you, I, and A: "How do you spell CIA?"
Mom: "CIA."
Me to myself: "Could it not be more obvious?" *burst out laughing* "That is THE weirdest question I have ever heard!"

Funny :)

My mom just came back from Mexico: Saturday, her aunt's Hawaiian-themed birthday party, Sunday, her nine-month pregnant cousin's baby shower.
A couple of weird-in-a-funny-way things my brother has said today:
While we were getting out of the car to go to our great-uncle's house: "I want to go to wieners house."
After my mom changed the radio channel to something more appropriate: "Mommy that guy was singing about 'sexy'."

Kentucky Fried Cruelty

I found a website called www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com. It rebels against the fact that KFC scalds chickens alive and causes them to grow so big so fast they can barely move. 5 members of KFC's own animal welfare board quit their jobs in disgust. Look, here's a KFC sign I made:


You can make one too. Pledge to boycott KFC, and sign P!NK's petition to "kick the buckets."
Play the game "Super Chick Sisters" (instead of Super Mario Brothers) and help crush Colonel Sander (instead of Bowser).

SHOPPING SPREE!!!!

Today the family went on a shopping spree. First we went to Old Navy, and I got; 2 grayish capris- 1 of them looks like yoga pants. I also got a pair of salmon bermuda shorts, a super short pair of pajama shorts, a gray v-necked heart patterned shirt, a white crocheted-collar tank top, a white short sleeve shirt with orange, pink and red flowers, and two ribbed tank tops- salmon and teal. Then at Gap, I got; an orange "(practically) PERFECT" shirt, a white pineapple patterned tank top, and a long sleeved pink shirt with a girl Smurf on it saying, Holla! My sister got a pair of Vans in black, 2 pairs of brown shorts, a khaki pair, white leggings, jean capris, a green braided-collar short sleeve shirt, a pink v-neck shirt, a pink "BE YOURSELF" shirt, a pink cupcake shirt, a brown "Big Talker Champion Shopper Chat Happy" shirt, and a blue, purple, and green dress. She LOVES her some pink, that girl!
We have some Converse on hold at Famous Footwear. For her some Velcro-strap shoes in magenta, for me, the usual- black regular. My dad got some 8 plain T shirts or so. When we were at Famous Footwear, my brother put on some way big (for him at least) Hannah Montana shoes, and he would NOT take them off. At least he didn't cry when he had to take them off.
When we were at one of the malls, there was a Wetzel's Pretzels- well, 2 actually- and we got a sample at one, and they were SO GOOD! It was like a cinnamon roll, but in pretzel form- but smaller :( -it made me want to have a second at the other Wetzel's as we passed by it, but the guy was serving someone and the samples were for him to give out and not for us to take- again, :( -so we just passed it by.
My mom took pictures of us with each individual piece of clothing to send to our grandma who lives in Ohio, because she gave us the money for the clothes. Thanks, Grandma!

BEST Dentist's Office EVER!

So, yesterday, our brother had a dentist's checkup and his dentist has THE coolest waiting room ever. The walls were painted bright colors, and they had a TV that actually played movies, it was never off. They had at least 200 magazines and books that weren't broken in one way or another, nice seating, and it was very kid friendly. It's not like the dental groups, where everything is like solid colors. They also had 3 Playstations. Well, that's it for now, so bye!

OMG!!!

Today I went to the dentist and got 2 sealants - but I have to get 2 more- and a cavity (molar) filling. It feels so weird, being numb in your mouth. When the dentist gave me the mouthwash, it was like falling out of my mouth, I was so numb. I felt so embarrassed, and retarded too, because I couldn't use mouthwash the right way.
And now, because of my cavity, I can't chew on that side, but it's my dominant side! And, when he cleaned my teeth, the stuff he used "is gonna be really sandy," and he wasn't kidding, it SO was! It was like, just sand mixed with like salt or something. WHAT THE HECK WAS IT???? TELL MEEEEEEE!!!!! If you know.
Whenever I touch the sealant on my right side, it feels like it's gonna POP OUT.




Bye!!!

So Sad :(

I just learned the other day I have to get braces. It's because of my "major overbite". I put the air quotes because the dentist said that. Just kidding, but it would be funny if she did. So sad. :( !!!!
Also, last night my mom went to go see Harry Potter at midnight with Asia (from Fair Day) and our dad was watching us. Me and my sister had just gone to bed, and 10 minutes later I hear my brother giggling so that means he and my dad were having some nice, quality time. It makes me feel... I don't know, it just makes me feel.

Oh.

I don't really have anything to write, I just felt I owe you guys something because I haven't posted in 4 days. I've thought about it, but my cousin was over for the weekend. We had gone to the doctor's with my nana, and her head was hurting so we dropped her off at home and picked my cousin up from her after school program. Yes, she goes to a year round school. That sucks! They start school in August and get out in July! They barely have like 3 weeks for Summer Break! The only good part about year round is they get like a month for winter break. Hmm. I wish we could go swimming! It's hot! It's 7, and still is 95 degrees out. !!!!!!
Hey, is anyone sad out there? Need a band aid? (::()::) A flower? @-->--- Some cookies? @@@@ A hug? (((((you)))))

They're BA-AACK!

Hey everybody, what's up? Nothin' much 4 me, just went to the doctor's today because of my hives I've had lately. They were gone there, which was at like 11. Now they're BACK! Ugh!!!! They're under the side of my knee, and in this HUGE blotch (and a couple of tiny ones too) on my upper thigh, and they itch like CRAZY! Oh god, now they're on the top of my leg. I HATE HIVES.
Well time to go so BYE!!!!!!!

My Silly Brother

Hey guys. How was your fourth of July? Our family camped out all day at a park. But that's not my point right now.
I tell my brother to say the name of my favorite singer, Demi Lovato. "Diddy Din-VAH-to."
He wants to play my Hannah Montana Wii Game, " I wan to play Isabella's Hannah Mennamentana geem."
He has been potty training lately, and one day I went to take the recycling out, he wanted to come. So he put his froggy boots on (the wrong feet, of course) and came with me. The recycling bins were outside our apartment gates, so he stayed in the complex while I went out to dump our bin. I come back, open the gate, step in, "Isabella I peed on my WEG." (leg) I say, "Bubby, why?"
"Because I wannit to." (wanted) Later, he has 2 more accidents, to add to his 2 he had already had. Me and Mom go out to buy Pull Ups for him, he has NO accidents, and when we come home, my little sister says, "Mommy! Bubby pooped in his pants!"

I Got That

Boom boom pow, them chicken jackin' my style they try to copy my swagger...
I love that song.

Happy 4th of July!

Hi everybody! Happy 4th of July!



Happy Birthday, America!
(And happy eating, hot dog eaters!)

It's July!

Hi everyone, IT'S JULY! Yay! I don't know why I'm so hyped up about that. Wait- I got mail. Ooh, I got mail! I got mail, yay! Do you got mail? (Yes I got mail) I got mail too yaaay! I got mail I got mail I got mail I got mail I got mail YAAAAY! God, I LOVE that! It's so funny! You guys should really check that out- Special Ed on I Got Mail. Oh, the funny things in life. Oh how I love all those funny little things in life.

Ugh.

I was sick ALL day yesterday. I'm so tired. Don't worry- I'm better now. EVERYONE our family knows had the stomach bug for a while. Everyone got it who came to my brother's 3rd birthday party. Even my mom's friend who wasn't at the party had it. I was on the couch all day, only drinking water and Gatorade, and only eating saltine crackers. I threw up everything I ate, my Pops for breakfast and my apple for "lunch"- just not the 3 animal cookies I had with my saltines.

Ugh, I can't believe it's almost July. The days seem so long during the summer with no homework, recess, or teachers. What should I do? Anybody have any ideas?

Answer

Hi guys. Sorry the answer to the riddle is over due, I have been kind of "busy". So, the answer to the riddle. Yeah, let's get to that.
Brad was a window washer staring into a window he didn't want to clean. So, he opened the window and jumped INTO the building.


Well sorry but I'm tired. That's it for now. CYA.




(CYA= Check ya later)

Fair Day!

Who's been to the San Diego County Fair yet? I have- today! We went with our mom's friend, Asia, and their gang. We went to see Asia's daughter, Penny, dance. She was in 3 dances. They were all so cute! A girl from my school went, too. She and her sister who just graduated from 5th grade were in dances. For lunch, we had Kettle Corn, churros, and corn dogs. After lunch we went to see Bernadette, Asia's mom, and her garden display. They had collections there, and Asia, her husband, Bobby, and her sister, Astra, all entered something. Asia and Astra entered quilts, and Bobby entered his G. I. Joes. There was a quilt club, and they let us make little quilt squares. A nice man had a collection of coins from around the world. He let kids take 2 for free. I got Canadian and Filipino coins.
While my mom's friend and her gang started to leave, our gang was at the sunglasses booth. I had always wanted Ray Bans, and they had those there but for less $. I got a red pair, and at checkout, Mom asked if they had mini Ray Bans for my little brother and sister. They did. My brother got black and my sister got white. We left and were in line to get on the buses back to the Horsepark (which was used as the parking lot) when we saw mom's friend and her gang! They were in line, too. They got on a double decker and were off for Horsepark. I didn't know it, but we got on the same double decker as them! Theirs had come back around to the bus stop- probably because they didn't have enough people. Mom and brother and me and sister split up- me with sister on the top, mom with brother on the bottom with the stroller. We had got up the steps when the first thing I saw was Lethia, Asia's sister in law, and Astra. The first thing I heard was "Hey, you guys made it!" and Penny shouting,"You guys are here!!!" She sat with us on the ride to the horse park.
We went home, told Dad to watch the kids who had fallen asleep, and got in Dad's car to go to Asia's house. Asia was going to have a tote bag making craft at a local library in San Ysidro. Only 1 kid had signed up, but it went from that to having not enough supplies. Asia had buttons, string, a sewing kit, felt, markers, pens, a button maker, a computer, a printer, iron on sheets, an iron, and paper. You could have a picture ready to copy and print, or you could make a design. With my bag, I had big primary color buttons alternating with bright red heart ones. I was also going to scan some pictures from my magazine but we did that at Asia's house. My picture were of Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly, Selena Gomez from Wizards of Waverly Place, and Demi Lovato from Sonny with a Chance and Camp Rock. There was a lady who had a daughter making a bag, and she had wanted to make one, too. She had all her stuff copied and everything, she was ready to have it ironed on, when she DIDN'T HAVE A BAG. So my mom gave her hers. We left the library after everyone's bag was finished. We made buttons at Asia's house. Mine had a cartoon heart on it. I also got some Asia had made, part of her company on Etsy, Toshwerks. Well that's it for now. Bye!

Funny Costco Lady

I was at Costco the other day, and there was this lady that was giving their fruit snacks out as samples. She said something really funny about them: "These fruit snacks are fat-free, gluten-free, and... pretty." They tasted pretty, though.
I got an email last night from my second grade friend, Cora, that moved to Costa Rica in the middle of the 2nd Grade year. She says she's coming here to the US next month. I also got my friend's email yesterday at ballet. She's in 6th Grade and she's really nice. Neither of us will be doing the summer intensive program at ballet, so we won't be seeing each other during the whole summer and we wanted to keep in contact. Now I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... 9 people from school and ballet (and Costa Rica) to keep in contact with. I haven't gotten any emails back from Cora. But I have from my other friend from ballet. I call her Lizzy K. and EK. Well that's all for now, I think I'll add a riddle. The answer will be posted next week, or June 25.

Riddle:
Brad stared through the dirty soot- smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression, he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop from the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?


(hint: go to this website. Search "Brad" and click on "through the window?")

Last day of school

Check out some pictures from my last day of 4th grade!

Hey

Hey everyone, about to go to THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! I'm excited. My ballet recital was on Saturday. It went really well. I didn't trip or anything, I didn't make any mistakes in the choreography. My teacher came to see me. She got me flowers. Gotta go!

Breathe, Izzy. Breathe.

Only ONE DAY OF SCHOOL left! I can't believe it. We had fun all day today. Our schedule for today:
4 Mountain Language Problems & 5 Math Problems
Read Aloud- HOOT (we finished it!)
Wordly Wise Hidden Message Puzzle
Recess
Watch Movie- HOOT while eating cheesy popcorn & licorice
(This was when our old student teacher, Mrs. J, came and visited us with Starbursts!)
Some Boys' moms brought pizza from Little Caesar's for lunch.
One brought ice cream & toppings, so we had ice cream sundaes.
We went to lunch before the rest of the 3 - 5 graders (K - 2 have a separate lunch)
Traditional 5th Grade vs. Staff Kickball Game
School's Out!

Sounds pretty fun, huh? Oh, and trust me, that Hidden Message Puzzle was fun. But the hidden message wasn't.
"There is a great deal of pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge."
-English Writer, philosopher, and Mathematician Bertrand Russell

My Funny Friend

There are only two days of school left! But that ain't all I have to say. So whatcha doin', closin' the window? Keep readin'.
Today, I was walking down the street to Dad's car after school, with my friend. She said to me as we came closer to an excercising bike by the curb, "Oooh! An exercise mobile!" She got on it and started pedaling. "This stupid thing's broken," she complained.
"That's 'cause you're pedaling backwards!" I told her. "OH," she said and reversed the motion of her feet. She started to sing,"Exercise mobile, exercise mobile," as I was rolling on the floor laughing. She made me have to pee my pants! And you better be glad I didn't! I'd had a dandelion in my hand but I didn't want it, so I threw toward the ground by her. "Have it," I said, walking to Dad's car. As I climbed in, I heard her say,"Oooh, yay!" She was bending down, grabbing the dandelion. "Bye, Izzy!" She said as Dad and I drove off.
Today we had a Life Science Benchmark test. BOOORING!
Tomorrow we don't have to learn anything at school, just parties and fun.We're going to watch HOOT tomorrow, because Miss O is gonna finish reading it to us tomorrow. Same for Monday. Just parties, fun, and movies. I think we're having a pizza party tomorrow, too.

Hey...

Hey guys, what's up? I'm working on 2 new books, Lucy's Diary and Kristin's Journal. It's like Princess Protection Program, that Disney movie coming out on the 20th. Lucy is a girl coming from a billionaire family, and Kristin is an average girl. They both move to New York, and there they go to Green River Junior High, become friends, and- oops! Can't tell you the rest. You, my friends, will have to find out for yourselves. I will post them here separately, Next week on the 17th, at the least. I have to think a lot about my stories before I can finish them. Well, what now, people, what now? Who out there is excited for the last day of school? I am.

Last Week!

This is the last week of school, except for next Monday. How stupid- last day of school on a Monday! There's a reason, though. If school ends on a Friday, we'd have to go to school a day early or on a holiday. And we don't want THAT, now do we?
You guys should really check out the most ANNOYING page on the web. There are, like, 150 alerts or something, but in the end, it's really cool because they give you the coolest thing ever. Trust me, try it. And when you are done, send the link to ALL of your friends (or enemies) that you want to annoy. That's it for today. But I think I might add a picture. They're up there.

Energy

Tomorrow is World Affairs Day at school, and we're focusing on Energy this year. The fourth graders are going to make a presentation for the first graders. We have to write about renewable and non-renewable resources of energy. First, half the class had to search information on renewable resources of energy, like solar, tidal, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric. I searched Solar. Then I printed out the information, highlighted the most important parts, translated it into first grade friendly words, and wrote it down. Here is what I wrote:
Solar Power has no fuel costs. It is a renewable resource. As long as the Sun exists, its Energy can reach the Earth. Solar Power does not pollute- or poison- the air or water, because the fuels don't blow up. Solar Power can be used to heat: solar ovens, water, heaters for homes, and daylight. The only bad thing about solar heat is that it can't work at night.

What do you guys think? Is it first-grade friendly? Hope you learned something interesting.

Tomorrow is also Tourism Day, where we dress up as tourists for a Spirit Day.

It's only 1 week till my brother's birthday! And also, 1 week and 2 days till his party.

Catchin' Up

I can't believe it's June already. I have been not believing it for the past 3 days now. Gosh, what am I gonna do early in the morning in 1... 2... 3... 12 days? The last day of school is on a Monday. Which is SO stupid! So, catch up on the latest news....
I found a new website. Check it out here.
I just finished the best book ever, Ruby Holler.
I am so excited for the last day of school!!!!!
I got cut by a razor blade Sunday Night. It still kind of stings when I touch it.
On Tuesday, we were playing Capture The Flag during PE. It was Boys vs. Girls. Me and my friend were both trying to tag a guy, and we collided and bumped our heads on each others. I now have a bruise on my forehead and pain in my wrist.
That's it for today. Check out the "McDonald's" and "Chicken Head" articles on the first website. :)

ANOTHER Field Trip!

Today we (1st-4th Grade) went on another field trip, the last of the year for the 4th graders. It was to go see High School Musical 2 at Pershing Middle School. It wasn't really that good in my opinion, the acting and singing weren't that good. One of the only (kind of) funny parts was at the end, where the cast was singing "All For One" a couple of extras came off the stage and had some of the people from the first 10 or so rows dance with them (because there was a bunch of space in between the stage and audience). Then some people (namely BOYS) from my class jumped in from the back and starting dancing. They were mostly "Disney" boys. Even a boy in my class with a cast on his arm! There's another guy in my class (we call him Tay-Tay) and he has this, like, HUGE crush on Selena Gomez (and he isn't afraid to admit it, he has a HUGE picture of her on his folder!) . He LOVES Disney, and he was the only Disney boy that wasn't up there dancing. Something else funny was something he said after our teacher reminded us of the field trip yesterday before school ended,"Oh YEAH! I'll be rooting for Sharpay ! Guess what Miss O! I'll be singin' along!"
After the play when we were eating lunch, my friend (nicknamed Nacho Cheese) said, "OMG Sharpay was SO ugly," and then Tay Tay said, "No she wasn't! She was AWESOME!"
Troy was shorter than Gabriella.
That's all I have to say.

SPONGE DODGE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!

The title says it all. Today, we played Sponge Dodge Ball at school. It was SO fun! You guys REALLY should have been there. There were a bunch of wet sponges, and there were 2 teams and each had their own square on the blacktop. We threw the wet sponges at each other till we were SOAKED! Of course, you were supposed to DODGE the sponges, but nobody really cared about that (but I did), they just cared about getting the other team soaked to the bone. Since I dodged (most of) the sponges that were thrown at me, I didn't really need the extra clothes I had brought because I wasn't soaked to the bone. The principal was playing, too, but she wasn't really on either of the teams, she was just standing in the middle of the two squares getting super-wet. I don't know how many times I got her- let alone the number of times ANYONE got her- all I know is she got pretty wet. It's kind of awkward when someone you think is all professional and business-like and serious and grown-up cuts loose and acts all kiddish and actually has some FUN?
Today is also Open House for our school (kind of odd, isn't it, at the end of the year? ). Our teacher was making us clean like CRAZY! (No offense, Miss O!) We cleaned out the inside AND outside of our desks, we swept, we organized the book bins, we did (pretty much) everything! :) Well, that's it for today! (I might) See you tomorrow!

Wii Fit

I forgot to tell you the other day that I got Wii Fit! It is so fun. You guys who have a Wii, you should try it. There is Yoga, Strength Exercises, Aerobic Exercises, and Balance games. Here are the games I have unlocked so far (I don't remember what exercises I have unlocked):
Aerobics- Hula Hoop, Super Hula Hoop, Basic Step, Advanced Step, Basic Run, and 2-player Run.
Balance Games- Soccer Heading, Ski Slalom, Ski Jump, Penguin Slide, Rhythm Boxing (I don't remember the others, I think I have 2 more.)
What is YOUR Wii Fit age? Mine is 16 as of May 24th.

Here's another riddle (you might need a regular book with 40+ pages)
Mr. Smith was in his study. He needed to go run an errand, and he left a hundred dollar bill on his desk by a book. When Mr. Smith came back, the bill was not there. He asked the maid if she had seen where it went, and she said, "I put it under the book, so it would be safe." He looked, it was not there. He asked the butler if he had seen it. He said, "Oh, I found it under the book and put it in between some pages so it would be safer. I wrote down the page numbers- ah. 35 and 36." Mr. Smith immediately knew who stole the dollar bill and called the police. How did Mr. Smith know who stole it, and who was the stealer?
Please post your answers in a comment, and the answer will be announced on June 2nd unless otherwise.

SONIC!!!

On Saturday night I went to Sonic for the first time ever, it was so good!!!! I don't know how much we ordered, it was so much!! I DO know we got mozzarella sticks, tater tots, french fries, a corn dog, jumbo popcorn chicken, an Oreo Sonic Blast, and a bacon sandwich for dad. So good!!!! Sonic is the best restaurant ever!!!! There was quite a line, though. There were two lines of cars for the drive through and the stalls (where we went). You guys should seriously go there, though. It's the new Sonic in Santee (California). Well, that's it for now. See ya!! :)

Early Everything!

Early answer to the riddle. It is possible, but his mom's mother's daughter's son's father's sister's niece is his sister.

Early Happy Memorial Day. :)

So, have you guys read "HOOT" by Carl Hiaasen? It is such a good book. It's about this boy named Roy who just moved to Florida. He sees a barefoot boy running by the school bus and later meets him, trying to help the boy, Mullet Fingers (he can catch a mullet fish with his bare hands.) save the cute little owls whose burrows are at a construction site for a brand new Mother Paula's Flapjack House.

I have a 3-day weekend because of Memorial Day on Monday. What about you?

PS Answers to last 2 riddles:
4/08 The room with the lions because if they have not eaten for a year they are dead.

4/14 The carnival worker did exactly what he said he would- he wrote "Your exact weight" on the piece of paper.

Bride Wars!!!

I SO wanna see that movie!!! Is it still in theaters???? My 2 friends told me about one funny part. Liv is the blonde one, and Emma is the brunette. So Liv threw a big party when she wasn't supposed to, and she and Emma are fighting and then Emma or Liv (I can't remember which) says to the other,"Oh your wedding's gonna be huuuuge... like your butt at prom." Funniness.... I have another riddle...
There is a boy at a carnival. A carnival worker comes up to the boy, and says, "I bet you 5 dollars I can write your exact weight on this piece of paper." The boy agreed because he saw no scale. Yet he still ended up losing 5 dollars. What did the carnival worker write? Answer next week with a new riddle. Comment your answers!!! :)

P.S. Longer Letter Later...

... Is the book I just finished.
Even though it's two days early, here's the answer to the riddle....
The kitchen/dining room is the safest to go in, because if the lions haven't eaten in a year, then they are dead.
Thanks to Suzanne Akemi for answering! It was a good answer!!!

Peace. We out.

Riddles & Jokes

I have a really good riddle...
You are in a small 4 room house. You are in the safest room. The bathroom has giant mutant cockroaches. The bedroom has angry gorillas. And the kitchen/dining room has a bunch of lions who haven't eaten in a year. You have to go to the bathroom, you're hungry, and you're tired. Which room is the safest to go in? Answer will be posted next week.

And 2 really funny jokes...
1. There are 2 guys, Dave and Joe, who are in a mental house. One day they were walking by the pool. Dave jumped in and drowned and Joe saved him. Later their counselor said to Joe, "You can leave." Then Joe said, "Why?"
"Because you have proved you can use your brain properly."
"What about Dave?"
"He hung himself."
"Oh no, I just put him there to dry."

2. There was a little girl and a little boy talking about where Jesus is. The little girl said,"I think he's up there, guarding Heaven." The little boy said,"I think he's in the bathroom."
"How do you know?"
"Every morning I hear my dad yelling in the bathroom."
"What does he say?"
" 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?' "



**Thanks to my 2 friends for the jokes! :)**

Hobo

I saw a weird hobo the other day, and this lady who looked exactly like Paris Hilton... and the hobo asked the lady, "Wanna kiss?" and she ACTUALLY said YES!!!! It was so awkward. I have nothing else to say. I'm signin' out.

Torrey Pines/Cabrillo

Sorry I didn't tell you about Torrey Pines! Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!
Torrey Pines: was really fun. We learned about animals that live there like skunks, snakes, and animals like deer mice. We also learned about the plants there, too, like the prickly pear cactus, wild cucumber, and others. We learned about food chains too. The lunch on the beach was the best, though. I found half a crab claw and my friend found a whole lobster claw. We threw rocks in the water and chased each other around the beach.
Cabrillo/Tidepools: was fun, but not as fun as Torrey Pines. We took a hike and went on a scavenger hunt to find plants like black sage, mojave yucca, and the lemonade berry plant. Those berries were so sour and tangy! We watched a movie about the marine life in the tidepools and how they survive. Then we were off for lunch. After minutes of munching, we drove down to the tidepools. Those rocks were so slippery! I fell 2 times. Once I got my whole lower body wet and the second time I slid my foot in the water like a baseball player sliding to home base. My friend found a half a lobster being eaten by a sea anemone. I turned around because I had heard something, and I saw 2 crabs fighting. A bunch of kids came rushing over after 5 or 6 kids were gathered around, and then people started taking sides. "I'm on that crab's side!" "That one is one-armed, he's gonna lose! I'm on the two-armed crab's side!" "Me too!" After about 10 minutes, the crabs fell off the ledge and were falling into the water. People were bored by now, so everyone left. Around 1:30, the teachers said we had to leave.
When we got back to school, we all started to play four square, the bell rang, and finally school was over. The End.

No more testing!!!!!!!!!!

Today was the last day of testing! Yay! And tomorrow we have a field trip. At least it will be better than just testing some more! And on Friday too! Tomorrow we are going to Torrey Pines. We are going to take a hike around the grounds from 9-11 and then have lunch on the beach. On Monday we are going to have another field trip to the Cabrillo National Monument and the Tidepools. I'll tell you all about Torrey Pines tomorrow!

testing 1 2 3... testing....

Can't believe I didn't say I had CSTs ALL WEEK! Except Friday... 4th Graders have a field trip to Torrey Pines... boring! We're just gonna hike around, that's all. UGH!!!!!!!!! I have ballet today too, but I'm WAY TOO TIRED... my brain from answering 40 questions, YES that was 4-0, not 4 (and that's goin' on 4 DAYS!!), my body from playing Capture the Flag for an hour, running, sprinting, math, language arts, english, similes, personification, isosceles, capacity, weight.... !@#$%&*!!!!!! UGH!!! I hope testing ends early for some CRAZY, WIERD reason.... Like the swine flu. That's ALL that's on the news these days, I SWEAR!!! In the newspaper, on the Fox 5 News this morning... even on Google! I searched something on government officials on 1 of the school's computers for a school project, and EVERY SINGLE RESULT was Swine flu this, Swine flu that....
Anyway. I'm tired. Bye! :)

Whew!

I just finished one of the best books ever, while munching on cookies. Guess what book it is. You get 3 clues.
1. It's by Roald Dahl.
2. It's about a girl named Sophie.
3. One of the main character's initials is B.
Do you know what it is?
It's The BFG!
I love the ending on the very last page, it's so... cute.
"But where, might you ask, is this book the BFG wrote?
"It's right here, you've just finished reading it."
And I just HAD to giggle when that part about "whizzpopping" came up... so funny! I like how the BFG talks, too- it's funny. Like when he says,
"... faster than you can say rack jobinson.", "... no more pokery-jiggery.", and "Keep your skirt on! I think I have the answer to the maiden's hair!" But those are only some. The best one is, "Two rights don't make a left!" (2 wrongs don't make a right)
I love some of his words. Here are some of them- phizzwizard, ringbeller, whoppsy, bellypoppers (helicopters), exuncly (exactly), porteedo (torpeedo), slushbungle, swizzfiggling, natterboxes, chatbags, and cattlepiddlers.
How many of you guys read The BFG?
What was one (or all) of your favorite parts?
For those of you looking for a good book, I highly reccomend The BFG.
Well that's it for today, folks! See ya tomorrow!

Yesterday

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was at my friend's house. We had so much fun! We did our nails (mine being black), jumped on her HUMONGO trampoline, played on the computer, and played hide and seek with her mom and brother. Her mom was talking on the phone when we asked her to play hide and seek with us. She didn't find us for a long time, because we hid in her closet, behind a bunch of long dresses against the wall. Speaking of phones, can you read what this says, in IM-ese?
OMG, he jst lke totally L @ me OL! Like so mbarrasing 2 the xtreme. BTW, r u bringing ur dog 2 my house? Im goin 2 L's pty, R U? OK bye:)
