Thanksgiving Break

This was one of my worst Thanksgivings. First of all I got surgery on Monday, because my feet were flat and didn't have an arch. Which was really fun. So now I'm almost bionic woman. It was kind of weird, because my brother had the same surgery and was throwing up, but I just wanted to eat all the food I could. They said that I could only have clear liquids. I got them to give me crackers though. My feet didn't even hurt on Monday. I also woke up out of the anesthetic really well. It was just like I had had a nap. Anyways, I was going to go to Arizona to my cousins house, but since I had the surgery on Monday(I was going to have it on Friday. I stayed home because I thought I wouldn't feel well. I was pretty mad that I didn't get to go. On Tuesday my feet hurt so bad. My mom went to rent me the new movies that had just came out and the computers weren't working. When my mom got home she went to put the movies in but they didn't take out that little security thing in them. So I just sat there all day, until my mom could go back to the video store. So all I did was just watch TV it normally would sound pretty good, but when you can't get up at all to get a snack or go to the bathroom, it sucks. So all that I did was sit and watch TV. If I wanted to go anywhere I had to crawl. I have bruises on my knees, because we have hard floors. My dads friend at work invited us to go to California. I was really mad because I love California and I have been with them before. It was so much fun when we went. They are so much fun to go with. They have kids that are each one of my families ages. They are also really nice. So I was pretty mad, I mean I didn't want to watch everybody play at the beach while I just sat there watching them. When I went to my Grandma's it was the first day that I had walked. It was pretty sad to watch me. The food was real good, but again it hurt to walk so I just sat on the couch observing everybody, because the guys were watching a football game. Everyone was really nice and supportive though. So for Thanksgiving what I was thankful for was that I have feet that I can walk on.

Movies

I love to watch movies. It is one of my favorite things to do. I don't really know why I like to watch them so much. I love to go to the video store I usually rent six movies a week, but I end up watching only two. I guess its just a bad habit. I have this thing at my the video store that lets me have any three movies out at a time. The people at the video store used to know me, but they just hired new people, I'm sure they will know who I am soon. I think part of the reason I like to watch movies is because it shows all the different kinds of culture. I can enjoy almost any movie. Even when everybody else thinks they are so stupid and lame. I guess it is just kind of a bad habit. I also like to watch the different actors and actresses in how they act. It is really cool to see them in different movies. One of my favorite movies is Pirates of the Caribbean. It has been my favorite movie since it came out. I love how everybody acts so well. I also think it has a really good plot and is really adventurous. Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors too. I love all of his movies. I also really like Matt Damon, I love the Bourne series of movies. Some more of my favorite actors are Heath Ledger, George Clooney, and Will Smith. I don't really know who my favorite actress is. They would have to be Cameron Diaz, Rees Witherspoon, and Penelope Cruz. I have a lot of favorite actors and actresses. I think that a good actor or actress is that they would act like someone really would in that situation. I also think that it is important that they can play a lot of different kinds of characters. They need to be able to have good reactions and be the person that they are playing. I really enjoy watching movies and I think that the movies show a lot about cultures. I probably shouldn't watch that many movies, but I really enjoy it.

Funny Story

Here is a funny story that I got from an E-mail.

To Be 6 Again... A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday. "I'd like to be six again", she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear,the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well Dear,what was it like being six again??" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size, you idiot!"

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.

End of Term

It's finally the end of the term. The most stressful week of the whole term is over. We have tons of tests and lots of big assignments due. They are the huge end of term test to show all that you have learned. All of the test have its huge questions that you can't even remeber learning. The math teacher's tests are really hard. The huge assingments are really hard if you have procrastinated it the whole term. The schools' required tests are kind of a pain too. So you stay up really late working on the assingments. You are really stressed but when it is finally over you feel so relived.


On the other hand it is pretty cool because we get a day of school. Usually, all my friends hang out at the Peterses' house. Theirs is really fun. They families' tv is really big. It is like a movie theater. We watch movies and just hang out. Sometimes we go to my friend Suzanne's house. Hers is one of the funnest places to hang out. She has a really cool house. Her brother-in-law, Travis's dog is really funny. My friends bring food. All of my friend's food is really good. We all have a really good time. It's really fun.

It is also fun because sometimes my family goes on small vacations like Park City or St. George. I love Park City so much. It is one of my favorite places. Not only is it georgous, but it is where I go snowboarding. Snowboarding is my favorite thing to do. I would go everyday if I could. In Park City I go shopping at the Tanger Outlets. They always have really good deals on clothes. There is also the alpine slide. It is really fun to go fast and catch air. In Park City in the summer we go boating. It is so much fun when we go with my cousins and friends. I also love to wakeboard. I think I like snowboarding better, but it is really fun. I am really excited for the snow, hopefully it comes soon. I am trying to get better at snowboarding this year.
