This Has Been A Fast Year

I am officially 11 years, 6 months, and 3 days old!

Christmas is coming and I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I mean WOA. There I am counting down:

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1....HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Next thing I know, everyone's huddled around me singing "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Sam! Happy birthday to you!" And then school is over.

I go to sleep and he next day I wake up and it's time to go Christmas shopping!

What a year it's been, too! can't even begin to believe the fun I've had. I am acting very optimistic towards what 2010 will bring.

Wow, 2010. I have to get used to saying and writing and typing that. This is crazy!

More Christmas posts to come, stay tuned!

That was cheesy.

Followers...this is for you!

Hey Blog-Readers! I just want to do a post to thank my readers and followers. I love writing on my blog because it allows me to write about memories, fun events, upcoming events, news, my opinions, tragedies, and lots more. It means a lot to me when I see my comments and my list of followers, because it means I am not just talking to myself here (or in other words, typing to myself). I love hearing what you have to say or just knowing that you read and care about everything that goes on in my life.

Please remember to check out my story blog!

A Walk Down Memory Lane

I know, I know, that was a cheesy title. But truly, that is what I did recently. I read my blogs, journals, notebooks, and everything I could find. I read the oldest entries to the newest. It was pretty crazy reading how I thought, spoke, and acted when I was younger. Did you know my frist entry on this very blog was when I was just 6 or 7 years old? 2005 was my first entry. I think it was in March. Pretty crazy, right? I was my little brother's age now! I have come along way and changed in many ways. But, guess what? I am still the same Sam! I am the same Sam I was 4 years ago. And that, my friends, will never change (I hope!).

Please make sure you check out the 2007 entry entitled Christmas Eve. I think it is 2007...it might be earlier or later...anyway, it is one where I talk about how I talk about how excited I am for Christmas. I even write a poem about.

So, I guess I just thought I should write again, and I thought a blast from the past would make a great post!

Here are some ADORABLE pictures of my little pooch while we were on vacation!

Vacay Pics

That's a cool picture from me on vacation and there are way more to come!

Summer Events

OK, so you know how about 1 post ago, I decided to make a list of things I should do over the summer. Well, I have accomplished 2 of those things.

1. Make at least one new friend

When I went to Ontario Pioneer Camp for a week, I made friends with a couple of girls in my cabin. As you all know, I am not the greatest at making friends. 2 of the 4 girls didn't like me. Actually, not a lot of the girls (I was a Girls' Camp) did. The leaders, though, did (of course, ha ha!). Anyway, 2 of the girls, Molly-Anne and Ashley, became my friends. Ashley especially. And, guess what! Ashley lives in Hamilton! She goes to Dalewood Middle School, she's going into grade 7. So she's one year older than me. But she is super nice, sporty, girly, and smart. Molly-Anne (Molly for short) was a tomboy. She was pretty nice, too.


2. Visit with an old friend

Our friends Janice and Jen are my dads childhood friends and we still visit with them and stuff. So they came to our house a couple weeks ago and we basically hung out and had fun!

Ahem...

Drum role PLEASE!

I, Samantha, am proud to present a new story on SAMANTHA'S WRITING BLOG!!!! In case you have no idea who or what that is, I will tell. In story version.

READING GLASSES, PLEASE! OK!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful, awesome, amazing, cute, funny, smart (OK Sam, they get the point), girl. Her name was Samantha, or Sam for short. She loved to write stories. So one day, her mom said, "Why don't we make you a blog where you can write stories!" BRILLIANT, was she, Samantha's mom. So Sam got to work writing, all day, and all night. But then...
Sam decided she would give up. She thought she wasn't good and that she could never be a good enough writer to finish one story. So she never wrote in the writing blog again.
But now...
She is doing it again! Ha ha! But you will have to wait for the blog, because some tech diffs are happening right now...stay tuned!

THE END!!

YAY FOR SCHOOL BEING DONE!!!!

OK! YAY! SCHOOL IS DONE AS OF TOMORROW!

I have a list I made of things to do this summer. These are things that will be a challenge, that I wouldn't normally do. I will update you guys whenever I do one of the things on the list. Here is the list:

• Make at least one new friend.
• Try a new food.
• Call or email someone I haven't talked to in a long time.
• Visit an old friend.
  
• Make a scrapbook of my summer vacation in just two months (the whole summer)

BYE!

Shout-Outs!

OK, here are some shout-outs to some loved friends of mine:

Emily G., my cousin and BFF! I love your crazy randomness. It gives me a reason to write on my blog, check my email, and log on to Club Penguin every day! I love your ability to always look on the bright side, your optimism, and your just plain in and out beauty. Thanks for being an awesome friend! You may not consider me your best friend, but, compared to others, you're mine!

Sarah B., one of my school BFFs! I love your craziness, kindness, and open-minded thinking. You are loyal and courageous and will stick with me til the end.

Chloe C., another school BFF! Love your taste, sense of style, and outrageous personality. You are a great shopping buddy, blogging buddy, and reading buddy. You are funny and a great friend!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS!!!!

June 10th was my brother, Lucas', B-day. He turned 9. This post is devoted to him on his birthday!

Lucas is an amazing kid. He is constantly giving. He wants to help so many people and do so many things. He is always reaching out to give a hand. He goes out of his way to be kind. He is kind-hearted and open-minded. He loves everyone around him. He is a ball of joy. Although he has only just turned 9, I feel like his older, more mature. His smile can light up an entire room. I hope that on his special day, he was filled with joy by everyone around him instead of filling everyone around him with joy by himself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!!!!

HAPPY BIRthday lucAS

OK enough with that other posty-template-thing-a-ma-jig. Sammy is startin' something new! So yeah, pretty much lately I have been avoiding posting on this blog...dunno why. Will you help me? Please comment on this post or me or something and tell me something upcoming that I should post about. You could even tell me something you love, I will research it, and then I will right about it. Come on people, I am deperate for ideas! Nothing is super new...or exciting... :( . I need more comments! People don't comment enough, It's fun having some little conversation with someone. Or even with a group of people...

Anyway! Keep commenting!

March Break-ing news

March 18, 2009, 1:57pm

March Break's been going good...I haven't done a WHOLE lot. Yesterday dad took me, Luke, and Jake out to do some of his errands. It turned out being pretty fun, we went to the food court for lunch and got a car wash after going to the mall ( and checking out Old Navy ). It was fun and for dessert after supper that night we had leftover ice cream from my dad's birthday. It was an awesome day! I am also REALLY excited because I am going to my friend Hannah's house for a sleepover tonight!

Tootles,
Sam

Starting New...

Hey readers of my blog!

I blog very rarely now, very little time is made for me to do that, so I have decided to sort of...start over! I will not delete any of my previous posts, but I will change my blog a little and start blogging more often. The new name of my blog is "The life and mind of a ten year old girl". Enjoy! :)


January 24, 2009, 10:28:
Yesterday at school kids were bugging me again. I mean the fact that I have a very little amount of friends bugs me! But I do HAVE friends, and that's good. My BEST friend is Sarah from school.
In other news, at school I keep writing "2008" on all my work instead of "2009". It is SO annoying! I will be turning 11 this year...in September I will be in GRADE SIX!!! Middle school...yikes!
Hasn't this school year been going by so fast? I think so, at least. Dude, it seems like just yesterday it was September 7 and I was heading out to school! Jeez!

Bye for now,
Sam
