milestones

  Right now, I am just really, truly, happy.  And so thankful for every single one of you.  And why is that?  I have sixty AMAZING followers, over ten THOUSAND page views, and this is my 141st post.  Guys, I am just so thankful for you all, and I already have so many of these kinds of posts, but I was just thinking . . .

  Would it be possible to get me to 75 followers by my birthday, November 17?  And 100 followers by the end of the year or earlier?  That would honestly mean the world to me.  :]  If you could advertise for me, I'd love that very much so, and I would be more than happy to make something {header, favicon, anything!} in return, if you'd like!  :D

  So, thanks to all of you.  I'm almost to my goal of 100.  It doesn't seem out of reach.  :]

Outfits of the Week!

  Hey everyone!  For my 102 Things to do in 2012, I was to photograph what I wear every day for a week!  Well, I wanted to do that, but I decided to make it a video instead.  :]  I know that this is only five days, but it's all good.  ;]  Enjoy!  :D

  Also, my shorts are not that short, but some of them appear very short on camera due to my long legs and the fact that you can't see my whole body.  I apologize!  XD

xoxo,
Carolyn

Achieving More Goals!

{{This is a scheduled post, just to let you know!  XD}}

  Hey everyone!  I've been achieving more goals in my 102ttdi2012 lately, so I decided to make a post showing you!  :D

Get to Fifty Followers

Thanks to all of you guys!  <3

Write More in my Magic School Story

  I've begun writing more and editing parts in my Magic School story!  It's going well. :3

Organize my Vanity Type-of-Thing

  I won't post a  picture right now, but maybe later.  I totally organized my vanity and it's quite nice now!  :D

  Well, that's all I really needed to post about!  I'm doing pretty well with my goals! :D

Goals, Goals, Goals!

  Yep, I've accomplished some more goals!  :D  Exciting, isn't it?  ;]  Well, here they are!

Finish Editing my NaNoWriMo Novel

  Yep, I FINALLY finished editing my NaNo novel!  Hallelujah, I only have until June 30th to get my books!  :O  So, I'll be getting those soon!  Oh, and here's my cover:

Take People Photography

  I just took some pictures of my first grade neighbor!  I really wish I could post them, but for safety reasons, I won't.  ;]

Read Crossed

  I actually just finished Crossed yesterday!  That makes a total of nine books read in 2012.  I really need to pick up the pace!  XD  Well, I've already started Delirium, so I think it's all good.  ;]

  Well, that's all I needed to post about.  XD  Talk to y'all later!  :D

~Carolyn

  It's May!  {{Surprise there!}}  It's crazy how fast time flies lately, it seems as if we were just in winter, we hadn't even had Christmas, but it's May, and school's almost out.  **SQUEE!**  And when school's over, what does that mean?

Summer.

  And because I am so excited, I will have a short list of things I will do to fill up my lazy days:

--STRETCH!
--Go swimming {in our pool!}
--Take lots of pictures *nods*
--Rearrange my room
--Make lists :]
--Complete my 102 things!
--Hang out with friends
--Color {OF COURSE!}
--Play my instruments
--Sing :]
--Write
--Read

  And by the way, I've been doing a lot of that last thing lately, reading.  And just to prove it . . .

Terrible picture, I know.  XP

  Yep, this year I've read seven books!  I know some people read seven in a month, but oh well.  XD

  Right now, I'm reading Divergent by Veronica Roth.  It's FANTABULOUS.  If you like The Hunger Games or Matched, you'd like this book.  Lots.  XD  And so, when I get done with that book, I'm planning on reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver.  VERY excited to start this one, too!

This looked a LOT better on my camera.  XP

  Now, I was just thinking.  Once I finish Divergent and Delirium {kind of jumping ahead, but . . . XD}, I'll have nine books read, and my goal is ten this year.  I think I'll pass that easily, but I'll keep it at ten for now.  Which reminds me!  On Goodreads, there's a 2012 Reading Challenge, where you set how many books you want to read and then update when you've read more.  So far-as I said-I've read seven.  They say I'm four books ahead . . . OH WELL. XD

  So, I only have twenty days left of school left . . . I am just SO excited.  XD  But believe me, I LOVE school-no joke.  I just love summer, too.  :]  So yes.  XD

Love, Love, Love, Hug your Books for Me,

Carolyn <3

Updating my 102 Things to Do in 2012 List!

  Hey y'all!  :]  If you haven't noticed, I haven't updated my 102 Things to Do in 2012 list in a FOREVER, and so I did!  Here are the goals I have accomplished:

Start a Weekly Thing on my Blog

  As you probably can tell, I started 5 Question Fridays!  :D  I am excited for week two, coming up-obviously-this Friday!  :]

Read the Hunger Games Series

  Quite obviously, I've read the Hunger Games.  XD  BEST BOOK SERIES EVER!  :D  I am so excited that I'll be getting my Hunger Games book {book one . . . duh.  XD} soon, then I can re-read them!  WOOT!

Memorize all my Lines for the Hobbit before I have To

  Yeah, it's REALLY been a long time since I updated this.  I had them memorized before I had to, and now the Hobbit's over.  :(

Create a New Novel

  I am currently writing a new novel!  :D  It's called Authoress, and here's the cover {picture does not belong to me}:

Take a Picture of me En Pointe {{in my Pointe Shoes}}

{{Pretty self-explanatory.}}

Go to the Coffee Shop with my Friends

  I've done this quite a lot, actually.  XD  I just did TODAY, too!  :O  Frozen chai latte, aka heaven in a cup.  XD

Guest Post on Someone's Blog

  I may or may not be guest posting over here.  **cough, cough**

Edit 50 Pictures on Picnik before it Closes

  I'm PRETTY sure I completed that goal.  I edited a lot since I could use Premium.  And now it's gone.  :(  But I've found an AWESOME site, so it's all good.  XD

Participate in the Talent Show at my School

  This was a month or two ago {XD}, and I did indeed participate!  I did my tap dance with the girls that are in my tap class that are in my grade, minus one of them.  :]

  So, I've obviously been doing pretty well!  :D  And I also have decided that if I can't/didn't succeed in a goal, I create a new one!  :]  And so I have made ONE so far.  :]

Love, love, love,
Caro-sauce

{{By the by, I will most likely be re-starting my 365 challenge this summer!  :D}}

Three Goals- ACHIEVED!

  Yep, that's right, I have achieved three goals in 102 Things to do in 2012!  :D  What are those goals, you ask?

19. Dance with someone

  Now, before you go all, "OHMIGOSH, GIRLY!", please settle down and let me tell you the story.  ;)

  So, last night was my first school dance, a Valentine's social.

  Goodness, it was the best night of my life.

  But anyhow, I danced mostly with my friends.  All of us jumping around randomly, screaming songs over the roar of music, shouting, laughter, and excitement.  Then, that first awkward slow dance song comes on.  Of course, my friends find me and Carter's friends find him, pushing us together.  Honestly, we were awkward, and walked off.  XD  So for the first few slow dances, I danced with friends.  XD

  Eventually, Carter found me and asked me to dance.  I was so happy, and we danced for the rest of the slow songs after that.  It was really, really, fun.  :)  {{And that shows you I'm not too young to have a "boyfriend" if we have school dances and slow dances at them.}}

36. Make a list of all the books I read in the year

  Basically all I did was colorfully decorate a piece of paper that says, "2012  What I've Read", then lists the two books I've read this year!  {{Far North was for school, terrible, TERRIBLE, book.  XD  So . . . uninteresting.}}

49. Memorize all my lines for the Hobbit before I have to

  Nothing too special about this, but I have my lines memorized!  :D  YAY!

~~

  So, basically, that is it!  XD  Hope you've had a great day, happy Friday!

Much Love,

Carolyn
