Merry Christmas Eve Eve! {{2012}}

  Merry Christmas Eve Eve, everyone!  {{Or the day before Christmas Eve, if all of my eves are confusing you.}}  I can NOT believe that TOMORROW is Christmas Eve, and the next day is CHRISTMAS!  It's crazy to think that I wrote a post on this day exactly one year ago, and also exactly TWO years ago {although that post was lost with my old blog}.  It's becoming a tradition, and I think I quite like it.

  Christmas Eve Eve has been a good day, a day of both relaxation and preparation.  We're getting our meals all sorted out for Christmas Eve and Christmas day, baking cookies for family gatherings, and just generally being excited for Christmas, of course!

  Good smells are wafting through the house, tickling my nose.  Snow is lying on the ground, obviously staying put for quite some time.  These little scenes just make Christmas seem like it's really here, just waiting for the official day where it can come out and make its grand entrance.  There's no hiding that everyone in this household is most definitely excited for that day.

  These kinds of days make good days for reading, especially reading Christmas-y books.  I mean, who wouldn't want to curl up by the Christmas tree, a warm blanket covering your toes, hot cocoa sitting next to you, and read Little Women?  Sounds good to me!

  So I know I have written this post all . . . seriously, I guess, but I did just have to say that I AM SO EXTREMELY SUPERLY DUPERLY EXCITED RIGHT NOW.

  I'm going to be doing some vlogging on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, too, so I hope you guys head over to my YouTube channel on those days and check out the videos!

  Hope all of you guys have had an AWESOME holiday season and winter break so far, and that it just keeps on getting better!

Happy Birthday to Me!

  Yesterday, I turned a whole year older.  :]  I've never been quite so old in my life!  XD

  I had an absolutely awesome birthday.  :]  On Friday, I had six of my best friends over, and we just hung out all night. :3  We listened to music, Gangnam Style'd, played Apples to Apples, made pizzas, ate cupcakes, opened presents, and just had fun being the awkward girls we are! XD

  So, they all the spent the night, and on Saturday we went to our local coffee shop and all got a frozen drink of our choice.  ;]  Then we went shopping downtown, which was lots of fun!  :D

  Well, I was extremely tired yesterday, due to the fact that we stayed up . . . quite late.  XD  We all fell asleep at different times, but I was the last one to fall asleep, and I just so happened to fall asleep at around 4:00 in the morning.  LUCKY ME!  XD  Then we got to get up at 8:00 to get ready to leave.  Oodles of fun!  XD

  We took the girls home at 11:30, and the rest of the day was spent however I wished.  So, we opened presents, and I received some absolutely awesome presents from my family.  :]  I am so thankful for them all!  We also went out to eat for supper, which was very yummy!  ;]

  Now, along with my birthday comes . . . MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!  :D

  Yes, I finally got one!  I'll be posting vlogs, random videos, dance videos, and anything else I feel the need/want to post!  ;]  So, I really hope you subscribe to my channel!  :3

{{I'm also sorry if I'm disappointing anyone by saying that I'm not going to be making American Girl videos.  I've lost quite a large bit of my interest, so . . . yeah.}}

  And this part's off-topic, but I got Taylor Swift's Red CD, and I am ADORING it!  :D  I'm not really a "Swifty", but this CD might make me become one, honestly!  I really recommend y'alls get this CD.  :3

  Well, I had an absolutely amazing birthday, and I wouldn't trade any of these memories for the world.

xoxo,
Carolyn

PARTY ALL WEEKEND

{{Sorry, had to say that.  An extremely annoying boy in my grade was SHOUTING that the whole ten minute drive from school to my bus stop.  I JUST HAD TO SAY IT!  XD}}


Yesterday and today were SO fun!  Here's what happened:

  Well, I've been at a birthday party.  It started last night, and when we go there we just hung out, acted weird, and did random junk until we ate supper {AMAZING SLOPPY JOES!}.  Then we went to Happy Feet Two at our movie theater.  There was a LONG line for the Twilight movie.  XD  We waited outside for probably half an hour!  Then we FINALLY got in and I got Milk Duds and . . . that was good.  XD  Our principal was there and told us that she thought it was cool that we weren't at Twilight!  XD  So we saw the movie and it was SO cute!  All of us laughed at stupid parts and parts that the little kids didn't understand.  OH HUMOR THAT CHILDREN DON'T GET.  One of my friends {let's call her J} seriously started crying.

  When we got home we watched Rango until it started freezing up, and then only three of us were still awake, Sam {the girl who was having the party!} and Day {let's call her}.  We stayed up till 2:30 in the morning,  and then I GOT UP AT 7:30 IN THE MORNING!  :D  Why?  Well, my friends {who had gotten a good sleep} were up, talking.  Plus I had to go to dance at 8:30.  YES, I went to dance from 8:30 in the morning until 11:15 because the teacher wasn't there, so I had to teach her the dances.  XD  {{This was mostly the teaching.}}  For Irish {dance} Sam came {because she's in it with me} and all the rest of the girls watched us.  :)  AWESOMESAUCE.

  When we got home we ate lunch {TACOS!} and got dressed and ready, then we got in the car to go ICE SKATING!  This was SO much fun!  We were skating for probably . . . three hours?  It was SO much fun!  I've never done it before, but I wasn't too bad.  I fell millions of times, so I'm sore, bruised, and have blisters, but let me tell you, it was SO worth it.  :)

  This was probably the best birthday party I've EVER been to!  ♥

Etc. {Because I'm Brain-Farting Today}

  Yes, I am having major brain farts today.  It's been busy, alright?  Here's been my day:

7:30- Wake up, get dressed, eat, etc.

8:30- Go to dance, teach kindergarten class

9:30{ish}- Get picked up by mom {IN NEW CAR!}, go home, relax, go on computer

10:45- Go to dance, Irish

11:15- Get picked up by mom, go home, relax, eat lunch, go on computer and watch My Little Pony {XD  More on that later!}

1:45- Go to dance, make-up combo class

3:00- Get picked up by mom, go home, relax, be tired, get dressed in normal clothes.

3:30- Get in car and go to brother's honor band, watch Soul Surfer on the way

9:00{ish}- Get home after going to the concert, going out to eat, and driving home.

  Yawn.  No time to NaNo today, but that's fine.  I've been watching My Little Pony.  XD

  Okay, so you're probably like, "What the heck?!  Is Carolyn really only seven?"  No, I will give you that I am older than 10, 'kay?  Anyways, I've been watching this really cute, awesome TV series called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic {here is a link to the first episode} on YouTube because Sara told me to watch it.

Best.Kid.Show.Ever.

  No jokes, yo!  I'm only on episode three or so, but-like I said^-I've been busy!  But, in honor of the six main characters, I made this picture of the ponies:

**PLEASE DO NOT STEAL WITHOUT PERMISSION!**

  None of these photos belong to me, all of them were found on Google Images.  :)

  Since I'm not sure if y'all are bronies like me {a brony is a fan of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic}, I won't drone on and on about my favorite characters and junk.  XD  But if you can't read their names, it's {Top first, bottom second} Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Rarity.  :)

  Well, that was a random post!  XD  Hope you enjoyed!

My Name is Ed and I Like Pistachios

  Hello readers of the world!  SO sorry I haven't posted in a while, but instead of droning ON AND ON about being sorry, I'm making an actual post.  ;)  Anywho . . . moving on.  XD

  Dance is now occupying my life.  I have dance on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Tuesday I have combo. {lyrical, tap, jazz}, Thursday I have pointe/ballet technique out of town {30 minutes away}, Saturday I help with kindergarten combo {ballet and tap}, preschool combo {ballet and tap}, and hip-hop 1 and then have my Irish class, and on Sundays I have Nutcracker practice.  SPEAKING OF NUTCRACKER, I just got my part in the mail today!  I'm a soldier, and I'm REALLY excited.

  So, obviously, I'm busy.  Besides dance I have LOADS of homework, piano is starting soon, and my Wednesday night church activity {I think it's somewhat like a youth group} is starting soon.

  WELL, now if I don't post for a couple days, you'll know why.

  ANYWHO, moving on from my schedule, maybe you are asking why my post is titled "My Name is Ed and I Like Pistachios"?  Well, let me explain.

  At ballet technique/pointe class last Thursday, one girl whom I had barely met {since I really don't know many people, I've only had two classes there!} gave me a hug and then poked me in the arm and said, "You're going to be my new friend!"  She was being random, but I know she meant it.  So I responded, "Okay?"  Then later she told me that she was Ted and she liked pickles, and then her friend said she was Ned and she liked pizza, so they named me Ed.

  So, we all have to like something that starts with the letter p, so I just loudly bursted out, "PISTACHIOS!"  So, I'm Ed and I like pistachios.  ☺

  Well, sorry if this was boring {but you might be happy that I posted at all, and it wasn't really short!}, but I hope you enjoyed.  :)  Be sure to comment, and follow if you haven't!  Thanks!

Lots of Love,
Carolyn

Doodling in the Clubhouse

  Today my little neighbor and I went outside into our clubhouse.  It was a nice day, warm with a faint, cool, breeze whipping through the air.  We decided to do a fun thing, bringing out the towels.  Why is that so fun, you ask?  Well, we make a little secret clubhouse where we put the towels up in the little "windows" so no one can see us, and we draw, talk, and do whatever else it is we want to do!  Today we drew and listened to music.  I drew six drawings, she drew four, and I drew two for her.  :)

  It was a simple, happy, day where we goofed off and talked and sang along with songs, dancing while sitting.  It might not have been like yesterday when I went to a huge waterpark, but it was fun nonetheless.

take some time to appreciate the little things in life

Fouettes,
Carolyn
