Place Your Hand In Mine I'll Leave When I Wanna

On Thursday Smells almost got a concussion from ski club and we had to drive to Grand Rapids to the hospital where they took her, except this time it took less than the 45 mins it usually takes because mum was going 85 mph. We were in the car at 6:40 pm, then we were at the hospital from 7:00ish to 9:40ish, and got home at 10. Giselle didn't have a concussion, and on the way home we got Burger King, but I didn't, 'cuz it's fat, and I don't remember the last time I had fast food, or a hamburger. Hmm. It smelled so good, but no.

Yesterday I washed a fasciaload of dishes, and vacuumed, and swept, and cleaned the counters, and it took 2 or 3 hours. Since I started washing dishes, people have gotten more and more lazy, and now I wash everyone's dishes all the time, which doesn't bother me; it gives me something to do; but when I leave, they're gonna wonder why the kitchen is so dirty all of a sudden and why the sink is always filled with dishes.

On Thursday I baked meringues, and cake from homemade. The cake was awesomeness.

We had leftover frosting from Smell's B-Day party, so I frosted it with that. Hydrogenated nasty oil.  

Yesterday I made chocolate chip cookies, and I found the recipe that I'm going to use forever and ever.

With these changes:

Add 2 tsp baking powder along with the soda in the recipe, 1 tsp salt (this makes the cookies salty, and I LOVE salty cookies), 2 TBSP of vanilla, not 2 tsps, and I don't like nasty walnuts in my cookies. These changes were suggested by one of the reviewers, and I did them and they made these cookies awesome. But the 1 tsp salt was from me; the reviewer said to use 1/2 tsp salt, but like I said, I like salty cookies.

Then I got a call from that girl who invited me to that talent show, and we watched Down With Love (a good movie), then talked. It was coolness, but we didn't have much to talk about, because we only had one class together for 4-ish months, and we never did anything outside of school, and I'm in college, and she's still in HS. But she's way cool: she has a record player!! She's definitely art. 

I slept on the couch last night 'cuz Aurora's friend slept over, and I stayed up past 2, mostly just playing the piano. At one point, I was so tired, that I just slouched on the couch and plunked stuff out with my right hand; I wanted to keep playing, but I was so tired, and I still had to brush my teeth. Eventually I did go brush my teeth, then I drew a picture because there was paper and crayons lying around, then set up my bed and went to sleep.

Woke up at 7am from my first alarm, shut it off and went back to sleep. Then woke up at 8am from my second alarm, and pressed sleep until 8:30am. Then I just got up. 

I looked out the window, and what did I see? Beautiful clouds, melting snow, and the sky smiling at me. It's a lot warmer outside, and it's supposed to rain. I'm happy.

Today I washed the inevitable sinkful of dishes while watching the sun rise. I paused to take a couple pictures, then unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it, and had breakfast, then made pamcakes. 

I overheard Aurora's friend say "It must be nice to have a sister that cooks. My sister doesn't do anything." That made me happy. Like, really happy.

I'm being noticed on Facebook. And it makes me happy.

My friends are awesome. That makes me happy.

I deleted all my stolen music. Be proud.

I see a ladybug crawling up the window.

I love my hair.

People compliment me. That makes me happy.

But I'm finally being noticed. That makes me happier than anything. I'm not invisible. My friends are awesome. I have friends. I seriously can't believe that. I can't believe that everything is so good. I complain sometimes, and have those stupid moods, but overall, I really do have an awesome life, and I can't understand why. But I am so glad, glad beyond description.

I get to make turkey. :D :D :D

Honestly, I cannot believe how good everything is right now, and how blessed I am. I really don't know why, I don't understand. But I am so glad. Ooh, here's another one of those times when I could keep writing and writing and writing. But I need to make the turkey; it's been the fridge for three days. 

Hugs to all!!!
