Give it a Shake

For Christmas this year, I got a lot of money, and I bought an iPod Touch with it. I downloaded a bunch of apps like Stitchminder, DoodleBuddy, Paper Toss, Great Books, and Chicktionary. Among the many apps I downloaded was Urbanspoon. You type in the city that you live in and it will show what looks like a bunch of slots. Shake the iPod and it will land on a restaurant that you can go to. Well, my mom and I were wondering where we should go eat tonight because my brother is out with friends, and my dad and sister are at a game. We used this app, but we didn't find any restaurants that sounded good. Instead, we are going to make a couple packs of ramen noodles and then we're going to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Sounds like an awesome night, right?

Feasting on Bob

For Christmas this year, my Uncle Mark bought a 15 pound prime rib. It was so big that we named it Bob. We always name them Bob. And we ate almost all of it. I don't know how we did it. Of course, there was a little bit of Bob that lasted for a couple of days after Christmas, but it disappeared pretty quickly. After I ate so much of it, I didn't want to see another piece of Bob for awhile. But right now, I would appreciate another one.

Cousins

These are my cousins. I miss them lots. I haven't seen them for over a year. This picture was taken on a California beach when we were really little. We spent a lot of vacations together over the years.

You can check out my cousin Ethan Oak on Facebook. He's pretty awesome: athletic, smart, and really nice. He's a lot like me. Hee Hee.

Anyway, he couldn't come visit for Christmas this year because he was too busy with school and activities. He's interviewing at Exeter and other schools back East.

I miss them. It's been a long time.

The Holidays

This is my adorable little cousin playing with his big boy train.

This is my sister and I at an old ghost town.

This is the cool, freaky graveyard at said ghost town.

This is the cool cave we visited.

Check out the stalactites!

What an awesome Christmas vacation.

Sooooo sad it's over.

Happy New Year!

Long time, no post. It's been awhile. Writing consistently on my blog is a New Year's resolution for me because I've been lazy. Well, actually, I've been busy. I've been celebrating the holidays and working on crocheting.

Check out this calendar I made at Home Depot yesterday. It was really fun with all the hammering and the assembling. The painting was fun, too.

Other New Year's resolutions? Take more pictures. Earn and save some cold, hard cash. Get all A's this trimester. Practice my instruments everyday. Run another 5K this year.

What about you? What are your resolutions?
