my garden!

I made a plan for my garden in one of my notebooks. it has mostly purple flowers with red and yellow. The spot I want my garden to be in still requires alot of work. Anyone good at removing bushes? how about ants? we'll see how that goes. my garden is still in it's planning stages. I am the most exited about the carrots.

Just so that everyone knows... I am doing this garden all by myself!!! ( well, I might need help with the bush.)

I will keep you posted on my garden's progress!

I have decided to start blogging again! I think it will be much better for me because my fingers are faster.( much practice on facebook! ) I want to blog about my swimming, my garden, my school, my church, and whatever other of my whims.
enjoy!

Bottle drives are freaky

     Yesterday, we had a bottle drive in Airdrie. Me and Peirce got the freaky neighbourhood.  This one guy, had a kinda chubby round face, white spots one his head with no hair, a big gross stain on his shirt. Peirce says he had green to nails... totally gross. Lots of other people had just underwear on.  There  were also delicious burgers! 

 

  We got lots of bottles. NCSA is doing another one in june. I think this one is in Calgary. So be ready Calgary!

AAAARRRGGG!!!! (continued)

    Last time I told you about face-washing that guy. LOL.  we we're playing full contact soccer. (don't tell Mrs.  A) But i didn't have the ball! This guy just walks up to me and trips me. For no reason!!!! This was before I kicked him on the bus. He could not have been doing it for vengeance. (don't you love that word?) He probably did it because he is a bum. So I let him walk away.  (for now) Then, when he doesn't expect it, i run up to him, pull his legs out from under him, and face-wash him!  

     I can't forget to credit my friend Rae and my aunt Virginia. Rae helped me pull this off. Aunt Virginia was my inspiration.  }:O] (Unibrow)

Chico the Crazy Chihuahua

        Oh my goodness.... Chico is such a funny dog.  We give him kibbles and bits for food. he sorts them! He puts the fish and triangles away from the others in a little pile. its really cute. we are trying to figure out if he does it to save the best for last, or, because he does not like them. i guess we will never know. (unless in the future dogs and cats will learn how to talk) 

      Chico has major attitude. If he is freaking out at the people walking down the street, ("You can't walk there! This street is mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!") we say "chico shush!" Then we go and hold his muzzle. He grumbles. "nyar nyar ggrrrr... nyar " its pretty funny.  

AAAARRGG!!!!!!

As i come to school yet again, i am reminded of how terrible people are. Grade five is fun I am learning lots but, life stinks no matter what. i have great friends but boys are stinky (i don't just mean they smell. they are mean too ) right now. after Me being ticked at most of them, on the bus, this one guy called my brother a trashy name. (its too inappropriate too write here)  I was REALLY MAD!!!  I called him some thing back and then hit him... I kinda do that often lately. (this was the same guy I had face washed on Monday. LOL I'll tell you later) so today I said something back that was again inappropriate. Funny...

michael phelps

   i know tons of you readers think that Phelps is a total bum, because he smoked pot.  but i think the opposite! just think, he can win eight gold medals and beat several world records while doing drugs! i am not EVER going to do drugs, so i will have an advantage. (if you get that) 

   I was talking to some of my friends about how i am going to beat Micheal Phelps, and someone ( who shall remain unnamed and alive even though that will be hard for me) doubted that i could do it. they also doubt that Jesiah ( a guy at school ) can get to the NHL, or that my very smart friend, Rae, can cure cancer. but we established that when he grows up, he Will be a homeless bum. I find it sad that he Will never get to see me on the podium since he won't be able to afford cable.

   I take my goals serously, the next person to say i can't do anything i set out to, will be thrased to peices with my ninja mind powers!

   

my website

I made a website! I hope you like it because it took me such a long time to do it.

it is about how there are people that think that just because they are rich and snobby they think the are cool.

christmas sunday

last sunday was Christmas Sunday. i got to sing for the whole ward. I got to sing arise and sing this Christmas morn, picture a stable, the nativity song, and stars were gleaming. we had no Sunday school or primary. after we just had a linger longer (pot luck).

after church we just hung out for a long time. I got to do allot on facebook. but i got a headache from too much computer time.

we went to the Hudson's party after that. we sang and sang Christmas carols. i sang all night. they allways have a choclate fountain. i love their parties. christmas is AWESOME. 2 more days!

pictures i found of google

skiiiiiii weeeeek!!!!!!!!

this week is ski week. what a good thing! the only problem is that it will be too cold so COP canceled as did the school. i am skiing for the first time in my life. i am pretty good.
i think when i go to Fernie for my race and for Christmas i will go skiing with my cousins. they like to ski but for my mom...
skiing is definitely easier than snowboarding. I got to the 4th level of the ski passport. in 5 more i can go to the chairlift. But, if my instructor talks as much as he did today, i don't think i will get there. it took him 15 minutes to explain how to go on the conveyor belt! i have 1 more day of skiing this month. i promise to get to the assessment and inform you later.
there are so many sensations involved with this. like when you put on and take off the boots. or going really fast. i probably have a different idea of fast than people who are better skiers then i.

Bifocal by Deborah Ellis + Eric Walters

okay. my mom made me read this book and i finished it last night. this was not such a bad book. i liked the style it was written in. it had two different perspectives telling the story. one of the Muslim kids and a kid on the football team. i LOVED the end. it was a little hard to get through the middle. i also thought that i prefer Deborah Ellis over Eric Walters.


it was two different people telling the story. Haroon and Jay. one other wrote the Haroon perspective and another wrote the Jay perspective. Eric Walters wrote jay's part. Some people might remember me writing about the bread winner. she wrote this too.

One of the lines i liked was " if she was confident, she wouldn't need to flaunt it." I like this mostly because it is true. there are a couple of girls I could tell that to at school. they would not believe it though. lost cause.

This week I finished 2 books about 210 pages. The only problem is that i don't have any thing to read till Christmas! THIS IS A TRAGEDY!!! the only way to tie myself over until then is to read Asterix comix in french. rrr....

I do recomend this book just for the ending. don't sstop in the dry parts! IF YOU PLAN ON READING THE BOOK SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH!!! one part i thought i could cut in halve was when Walters writes like 4 pages about the football dudes egging the houses. other than that it was awesome.

on the left you will find my video bar. there is one vid that is about the book you could consider watching. that ONE is about the book, the others have absaloutly nothing to do with this post.

39 Clues by Rick Riodan

This is on e of my new favorite series. i can't believe I have to wait for Christmas to read the next one. the 1st sentence goes "five minutes before she died, Grace Cahill changed her will." now that is suspenseful. i loved the part even though it was very sad when the boy, Dan got his backpack with the picture of his parents snatched up by the train. it was pretty touching.
I liked it because not only can one read the books but we can get the cards, play on the website ( www.39clues.com ), and win prizes. on the website you make an account and find out which branch of the Cahill family you are a part of. the book says that most of the important or influential people of the world are part of this family. the 4 branches go Ekaterina - the smarties branch, Lucian - the evil ones, Janus - the artsy fartsy people, ant he Tomas like me - the active and fit of the family.
I never even told you what this is about! well, it starts at a funeral for Grace Cahill , Amy and Dan's' grandma. in her will it says that a specific 40 people have the chance to take 1 million dollars or the 1st clue to a mystery that if resolved " will make them the most powerful and influential people in the history of human civilization."
I definitely recommend this book ( as a Christmas present? ). but the end is such a cliff hanger. so get ready for a ten book series.
keep reading! jill

PURPLE / randomness

im case i did not tell you, i LOVE purple. i don't even know why i get this OCD about things. but i like it beacuase it is very deep. i found somay awesome pics of purple from google images - but i still can't figure out how to get pics on my blog,>:o[!
i went to the Coalition rally on saturday. it was lots of fun. there were people yelling and screaming (kind of like my brother). my favorite chant was :
where do we live? CANADA, what do we want? DEMOCRACY when do we want it? NOW
i thought it was funny how people left their signs at the statue of the famous five. theyput the signs on their laps and tables and stuff.i put mine that said "coalition smoalition" in one of their hands.
i love having a blog
stay tuned!

ugh... :o< (why i hate my school)

some girls... i have some friends i will write about but i did not feel like talking to them and asking permission to put their names on my blog so i will call my good friends Alice, and, Tina, the other girl will be Georgina.
Tina is having a problem. Georgina is being a snob to her so me and Alice are trying to help. in class, i slip a note to Georgina that reads, "Tina is my friend and it make me upset that you are such a bum to her. you need to be a friend to have them." and that is pretty much what i wrote. but maybe i didn't call her a bum.
so Alice is like, "tina could have done that. it was not your buisness to help her." which is where i thought that it actually was my buisnees sine i am Tinas friend. "now tina is really upset." That made me upset. i was trying to help but i aperently made this worse. >:{
rrr..

autruchicisme!!! ;o] (why i love my school)

this word is from french and it translates to ostrich coolness. i know that some of you will be like, "what the heck is she talking about?." so, here is the story.
me and my friend (one of my awesomest friends) were thinking we should have a sisterhood! so we were thinking of what it could be. and i thought ostriches since we both speak french (and only talk to each other in french) we made it in french. but we knew something so awesome should have the word awesome. but we did not know what awesome was in french. so we used cool instead.(chic)
now, i definitely think that my teacher has autruche. cause we were waiting for the bell to ring i was talking with her and we got on the topic of Abba dancing queen. my teacher had seen mama mia and loved it as much as i did. she also said that she wishes she could live in a musical. these are words stolen from my mouth. i also liked it when i stayed i for recess we both just kept to our selves. i just typed and typed. also, the teacher across the hall played piano the whole time. it was a beautiful moment.
if only all my teachers were like this. ;o)

twilight by stephenie meyer

i am in the middle of reading twilight. this is an okay book. i think that i don't enjoy romance novels. i also don't think it had a very good story line. i think the 1st 300 pages were very dull. it was just "i love this vampire but he can bite off my head" again and again. but if you like that type of thing... go ahead on facebook, my friend kevin showed my the spoof to the twilight trailer.
as for the movie, i thought it was pretty good. not awesome though. Iron man was awesome, twilight was great. i thought all the kissing was scarier than the ballet studio scene. but again this is my 10-year-old-who-dislikes-romance-novels opinion.
mmm... i kinda recomend it... maybe...

the bread winner

The Bread Winner is a book i recently finished by Deborah Ellis. it is about a girl in afghanistan. her father is taken away by the Taliban and the girl named parvana has to take on a new life-style. one of my favorite thing from this book was when father talks about Malali. malali is my favorite because she shows lots of courage. the story goes, when the afghan army were not doing so well malali came and she totally leads themin to enamy camps and motivates them. then they win. i totally loved it.
the end of this book was a big cliff hanger. so be prepared to take on a series. i hope you find tins book as totaly awesome as i did.

Her Journey's Just Begun
By E. Brenneman
Don't think of her as gone away--
her journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets--
this earth is only one...
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are not days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and she was loved so much.


On Sunday I had a bad feeling that my mom wasn’t safe. I thought it was just the movie I was watching – but it wasn’t. It was the Holy Ghost speaking to me. My mom didn’t tell me, but she was worried too. So we decided to go to the doctor because she hadn’t felt the baby move for a few days. I felt sick in my stomach and extra sad when the doctor at the hospital said there was no heartbeat and the baby had died.

After she was born Peirce and I both got to hold her for a few minutes. She was really cute. She was smaller than a doll and her head was about as big as my fist. Her nose was like mine and she had eyelashes like Peirce’s – really long.

I was really looking forward to being a big sister to her. But I guess I will have to wait until we’re together again. I know that I will see her again because our family is sealed in the temple. My mom always said she was a really good one. I guess she only had to come to earth to get her body.


for her birth day we will go to the grave. I want everyone to know that this was sad but i believe in christs' atoning death. i know that because my family is sealed in the temple of the church if Jesus Christ of latter day saints, i can return to live with her in heaven. please visit www.lds.org for more info.

see you next time,
sincerely,
jill ackroyd.
