Math Class

So Wednesday during math class, I missed a couple questions that I was called on, to answer. It was partly because I hate being called on, in class, and partly because I-er-wasn't fully paying attention, I guess. When we started on our schoolwork, Mrs. Halliwell wanted to see me, at her desk. Eek! I nervously followed her and she talked to me a bit and told me that if I had a question, I could ask her for help. Then she asked me to stay at her desk to do my work. Probably partly because I tend to doodle-hearts, flowers, stars...when I do my homework or a test. She also probably sensed that I was nervous because she said that I could have a friend sit at the desk, with me. Of course, I chose Marina! She's always there for me. :) Mrs. Halliwell also checked my answers to make sure I was getting it. I felt embarrassed-sometimes I hate asking for help. But at least Mrs. Halliwell was nice and understanding. And Marina was nice and understanding, too. :)

*Sighs a breath of relief* Now it's the weekend so I can enjoy it! Well, I do have some homework but aside from that, I can enjoy it. We're reading The Secret Garden in Reading class. I'm liking it. Then again, I've loved all three versions of the movie that I've seen-and own. Mary and Dicken are my favorite characters in it.

Math Worksheets And Sleepovers

Kaya and I are sleeping over at Hallie's tonight. How sad is it that I've been sorta trying to avoid Mrs. Halliwell? I have a math worksheet due on Tuesday but I haven't started yet. And we had a little timed worksheet to do in class yesterday and I didn't get all the way through...I hate the timed worksheets. They're usually a mix of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and all between 0 and 12. So stuff like 7x9 or 10+12 or 6/3...but since we only have a few minutes to do them, I never seem to finish. I swear my mind likes to go blank sometimes-even on easy questions! Or, with looking fast, I'll do the wrong thing...ugh...Mrs. Halliwell probably thinks I'm stupid. Icky math.

So whenever Mrs. Halliwell comes into the room we're in, I kinda duck and look down. I like hanging out and sleeping over at Hallie's but it's always awkward when your teacher is the mom of one of your friends.

And I know, I shouldn't be afraid. And I also know I've written similar-sounding posts before and will probably do more in the future...but still...

Anyway, other than the avoiding thing, we've been having a fun time. We set up some of Hallie's toys and had them go to the mall. Then they had a fashion show. We also played cards, like three-way war. Very fun. I won once and Kaya won twice.

We're about to go to bed soon. (and, for anyone wondering...yes, I do feel a bit nervous typing this. I don't want Mrs. Halliwell to see it. It makes me a bit jumpy, typing this entry-if she saw it, I'd probably be wicked embarrassed and she'd probably hate me and be mad and- ack!).

First Post Of 2013

Ack! Oh my gosh, I am sooooo sorry I haven't posted in months! I kept meaning to but just never got around to it, I guess. That and nothing too much has been going on lately.

I know this is old news now but over the summer, I got to meet up with Sophie (of Fair Hollow), who came to visit for a few days, and Claudia (who lives in Waterloo). We had a lot of fun walking around a park and taking pictures!


In September, I went to a birthday party for Olive and Aimee. We watched movies, played games, ate cake, and had fun getting to know each other better.

In the Fall, Kaya went to visit some of our friends in Waterloo. She had a lot of fun except she got scared when she and Claudia were watching Dr. Who. I've never seen it but Kaya said not to. It doesn't really seem interesting to me anyway. Then again, I watch Disney a lot.

In December, we went to the Tree Lighting Ceremony. It was fun; we stood around the tree, singing Christmas Carols, and we took pictures by the tree and drank hot chocolate and ate cookies.

(Me and Felicity)


Me and Julie (of Waterloo)

Kaya and I had a nice time over the holidays. I got a couple of new movies and stuff, for Christmas/birthday. My birthday cake this year was a chocolate raspberry layer cake-yum! It was delicious! (for anyone who doesn't know, my birthday is on Christmas! And actually, Gwen Thompson, of Daisy Hollow, is also a Christmas angel). (Daisy Hollow is Grandlinda's doll town).




We didn't really do much for New Year. And once we got back to school, we had an essay to write, on our Christmas Vacation. I don't like essays. I'm not good at them.

Yesterday I got a present in the mail, from my pen pal, Maura! She gave me a cute The Three Little Kittens book! Thank you, Maura!

(Isn't the wrapping paper cute?)



I guess that brings me to now, where nothing is really happening. Pounce and Licorice got into a little fight-silly kitties. We still have our tree up but will probably take it down next week. I love Christmas trees and decorations and I feel a little sad when it's time to take them down. But...they'll be up again before we know it! I guess I'll stop here since I can't really think of anything else to write.
Bye!

Summer Vacay Is Here

I meant to write a few days ago.  The last day of school was last Wednesday (the 13th).  I did okay in most of my classes, I think...(mostly B's and C's.  I, uh, got a C- in science.  But I got an A in spelling).  I did manage to go up to Mrs. Halliwell and ask her if I could rewrite my book report and she let me.  She gave me a few tips to try to make it better.  I got a B on it, the second time around. 

I'm glad that school is out for the summer.  Kaya and I don't really have anything planned for the summer.  Just hanging out at home and with friends, pretty much.  Maybe we'll think of something. 

Tessa is doing LMPT this year. 

Also, I saw two girls that look alike, going into the General Store, yesterday, as I was taking a walk with Tessa.  I've never seen them before.  I wonder if they're new residents in Star Valley or just visiting. 

Anyway, that's it for now.

NMH

Nothing much has been going on lately. School is almost out for the summer! I don't think I'm doing much over the summer. Not really sure.

I, uh, got a C- on a bookreport I had that we got back on Friday. I thought it was okay but Mrs. Halliwell wrote thaat the report wasn't long enough and the summary was very vague. And I-I did it last minute because I didn't finish the book until two days before the reports were due... My mom said I should ask Mrs. Halliwell if I can rewrite the book report but I'm afraid she'll say no. It was my own fault for not finishing the book until late and so I prolly don't deserve a second chance on the report... And like always, if I did ask Mrs. Halliwell, I'd want a friend by me for moral support and what if Mrs. Halliwell says no? *Sighs*

This week has been pretty rainy. Earlier in the week, we had some hail. I hope we have some nice days. I also hope we'll continue filming The Show Must Go On. It's been on hiatus for months. ~Susie

New FB Page & Guess Who's Back

On April 1st, I finally got an FB page of my own! I had been wanting for awhile, though Missy wasn't sure if I was going to get one since I have a blog already. But she finally let me get one! When we told Grandlinda, she asked if it was an April Fool's joke, lol. Nope! You can Like me Here.

Nicki moved in with Marina, Heather, Carrie (Heather's sister) and Nancy. I wonder how all their pets get along? Marina and Nicki both have dogs and Heather, Carrie and Nancy have cats. I loved having Nicki stay with me, for awhile, and I think it helped our friendship grow a bit stronger.

Guess what?! A few days before Easter, Kaya came back! I was so wicked happy! She said that she missed it here and that she'll probably just visit the Nez Perce tribe once in awhile. We had a nice Easter. Kaya and I got lots of candy, including Twix, Milky Way, Cadbury eggs, jelly beans and Lindt chocolate bunnies-yum! I hope you guys had a nice Easter (or Passover), too.

Today me and Kaya went out and smelled some pretty flowers and had a few pictures taken:

Not Much to Update

Ugh...I haven't updated in awhile. My life has been pretty boring lately. Not much has been going on.

Last week we had some nice weather but this week it's back to being cold. Today was rainy, too.

My room is a mess but what's new? I'm just...not good at keeping it clean. Nicki's pretty good at keeping her room clean-well, most of the time. Maybe she'll help me. I know, I know, I should clean it myself. Blah.

I'm excited for Easter! I can't wait to dye eggs-it's one of my favorite traditions! I also want to make some yummy cupcakes with jellybeans on top! Yummy :).

I should probably get off now, so I can, um...finish my homework. *Yawns.* And I have to go to bed soon. Maybe I'll just finish my homework tomorrow morning.

Happy 2012!

I haven't written in awhile, I know. I just wasn't really in the mood to write much. Since it looks like Kaya probably won't be coming back, Nicki will probably live with me (in Star Valley, I mean; outside of Star Valley all us dolls live together...it prolly sounds a bit confusing). She's be staying here already, which has been nice. I've been trying to get used to Skyler, Nicki's dog, living here but I'm just not used to living with dogs. I don't really like dog licks on my face or hands-especially if I'm about to eat. I much prefer petite kitty licks. Nicki's trying to teach Skyler not to jump on my bed. He's allowed on Nicki's bed though. I do like my kitties on my bed but I've grown up with kitties :). Nicki says she doesn't mind though. Skyler's cute and he's actually nice around my cats. Pounce did hiss at him a couple times though, tsk tsk.

Although Nicki and I are in the same class, we usually do homework at different times. Nicki is learning how to ride Eastern style. And I take ballet once a week. We're both in Girl Scouts. I...uh...have a book report that we were assigned last week that I...um...still have to finish reading and write...

Christmas/my birthday was nice; it was quiet. Unfortunately we only got a few snow flurries and there wasn't any snow on the ground so no white Christmas this year. I don't really like green Christmases because it just doesn't feel as much like Christmas, to me. Oh well. Nicki got me a cute little Beanie Baby named Grace! She's a praying bunny and oh so adorable! (Fun fact, Missy also a Grace Beanie Baby, so ours match!).

Me with my Grace bunny:


My Grace and Missy's Grace:



On the 26th, my family took us out to dinner, along with Marina and Hallie. It was fun.

Our Christmas tree is still up and we'll probably keep it up a few days longer. I admit, I've also still been listening to some Christmas music. I just can never stop the day after Christmas-I love Christmas music! And the tree is so peaceful and beautiful!

There's nothing much going on outside of Star Valley. Missy is probably selling Sarah to Auntie Jenny (aka in Star Valley, Sarah will probably be moving). And she's thinking about who might be coming to live here. Someone who would probably live with Addy in SV, since Kit and Maddie moved. She thinks it's between Marie Grace who would be a different girl, from New England and Cecile, who would remain herself). I think both of them would be interesting to meet. Lastly for Christmas Missy got Zoey, the AA Bitty Twin girl; Zoey is so adorable and silly. She's debating between Sandrine and Paige for the middle name.

Zoey (and Dead Tired Frankie, Jingle the Husky Pup and a little bear that Zoey claimed):

Fall Changes

Sorry for not writing more over the summer. Things were pretty quiet for the most part.

Lately I've been kinda blue. My cousins, Kit and Maddie are moving away. They're going to live with their Aunt Millie. I'm going to miss them so much! And on top of that news, also a few weeks ago, Kaya had said that she was feeling kind of unhappy and that she wanted to go and find some of her tribe to live with for awhile. She's not sure if she's going to come back or live with her tribe permanently. I want to be there for her with whatever decision she decides but I know I'll miss her like crazy, too, if she moves away!

Has anyone else had best friends move away? Does it always hurt like this?

Nicki has been staying with me and my mom for awhile and Tessa has been hanging out with us, too. Marina has been busy working on pieces for a recital so we haven't hung out much lately :/. We did hang out at the block party on Monday, which was good. And she of course invited me to her recital so I can't wait to hear her play for that.

Speaking of the block party, I sang "Dreams of Harmony" for the talent show. I also entered Pounce in the pet show/parade, which was fun. She's such a sweet kitty :).

The leaves are all turning pretty colors. After I clean my room, I'll probably put up some Halloween decorations. I have no idea what I'm going to be this year. I haven't really thought about it yet.

Here's a photo of me, singing at the block party:
