The Grab Bag of Posts

Yes, I know I haven't posted in ages. I'm sorry. I'm super busy (and yes, I know, that's no excuse).

So first off, I don't think I really did a post-Christmas blog post, so here's a brief one.
Christmas was great. I loved seeing my grandparents on Christmas day, and eating a delicious Christmas breakfast and then dinner. For Christmas I got a cell phone (which I love), an iPod (yay!), a few board games, and lots of gift cards. It was awesome.
During the Christmas holidays, I visited with my cousins. There is lots of snow where they live, and we went tobogganing which was so fun. I was so happy when we finally got some snow here!

I made the basketball team! My dad and friend Miranda are coaching the team, along with a teacher from our school. So far we have played four games and won four games. That's right, we're undefeated.

So yeah, I guess that's what's up.

Christmas Break!

I realize I've done a few posts about Christmas already, but i just had to write another one.

So far for the holidays, I've already gone Christmas shopping, visited my cousins, had school Christmas dance, had two or three Christmas parties, and had our annual Christmas Baking Day.

I've also done quite a few gift exchanges, and wrapped quite a few gifts. My other plans for the upcoming holidays are too just relax, open presents, visit with family, and go to lots of Christmas church services.

Hope you all have a great Christmas!

Just checking in.

I don't have much to write, just don't want you guys to think I stopped writing! I'm still here!

What are all your plans for Christmas?

I Finished!

I finished my novel in exactly 30 days, and succeeded my goal which was 15,000 words. My final word count was 15,000.

I am now an official NaNoWriMo winner!

I'll post more soon!

NaNoWriMo

National Novel Writing Month.

November.

This month I have been writing a novel! There is a website that helps you to set goals, and work towards writing a specific number of words before the end of November. On the adult website: http://www.nanowrimo.org
you have to write 50, 000 words, but on the youth one:
http://www.ywp.nanowrimo.org
you get to set your own goal. My goal started as 25, 000, but since this is only my first year, I've learned that a goal like 15,000 is a tad easier. So yeah, I've been writing up a storm.

Ahh! Christmas is coming!

I feel like Christmas is coming so soon this year. The time is flying! I mean, it seems like just the other day was Halloween, and now it's nearly December! I've never noticed Christmas coming this close after Halloween.

Anyway, my family is getting full into the holiday spirit! We've already decorated and everything! I am so excited! Can't wait for Christmas shopping, and Christmas baking, and all of the other joys of the holidays.

I almost wish time would speed up some more!

If you couldn't read the title, it's a sad face / happy face.

Sad face because the leaves are falling! Yes, I know that happens every year at the same time, and why am I so surprised, but it's just sad. The autumn season and all of it's beauty is passing, and the cold winter and all of it's goosebumps are coming. I love fall, as I have said before, and this year I've really been able to experience its beauty. The changing of the leaves has reminded me that change is supposed to happen, and it is often a good thing.

Dude, that's deep.

Happy face because...well, I like happy faces! And I can look back at all of the good memories that I've had this past fall.

And thanks to you readers, for reading my cheesy post.

Quick Post

This is going to be a quick post--I'm super tired.

Just wanna say--my school had their Halloween dance today...and it was amazing! The decorations, the music, the dancing, the food, it was all so great! I had a blast at my first dance, it was so great. And to top it all off, my costume rocked!

Leaves

I am loving the fall weather right now! Not too cold, not too hot...it's just right! I hope it stays warmish for Halloween so we don't have to wear coats over top of our Halloween costumes like in past years.

Also, I don't know why, but I've only just recently realized the beauty of this fall. I mean, I saw the trees changing colour, but the other day when I was throwing them and jumping in piles, and playing in the leaves, it just kinda made me notice how wonderful this season is. It's so fun! Fall is one of my favourite seasons, and I've had some great moments this autumn. Like leaf-fighting with my friends, throwing leaves up in the air and jumping in giant leaf piles...Just so much fun!

Halloween is going to be great! We're doing a dance and a costume contest and a few other fundraisers at school, and I am having a party on Halloween at my house. I am dressing up as a garbage can. I am so excited!

Thanks for the post idea, Natasha.

Blogging is back!

So I guess now that I have gotten back to blogging, back into the swing of things, I'll try to do it more and more often. Also, I have been reading some friends' blogs who have also started up again. Yeah, that's right, I'm talking to you!

Any ideas as to what I should post about? I would love to post, but I have nothing crazy to post about!

Keep on reading!

I've Been Thinking...

Who am I kidding, no I haven't!

But I do know that I need to update my blog. I have no idea what to write about, so I am going to write about...whatever.

Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving was good. Saturday we ate turkey dinner with some friends. It was super yummy! Turkey, stuffing, brussel sprouts, squash, poatoes...so good! Sunday was church and then visiting some friends. Today my fam is just chilling.

Halloween: Yes, it hasn't happened, but I'm planning ahead. I am going to be a trash can for Halloween, funny, right? I'm gonna put a plastic garbage can around my waste, and have messy hair and garbage all over me. Best costume ever!

Some things I've been in the pas tare: Elephant, Zebra, Witch (twice), princess, vampire, nerd, Nancy Drew, a Barbie doll. Feel free to steal a few of these costume ideas.

Anyway...

Sam
