I want to ride

The more time passes by, the more I feel like I'll never go riding again. I want to go so bad, but we moved and we don't have the horses in our reach so I can never go now. We're boarding them at this lady's house, that my mom works with. And it's so far away!

I've literally only gone out there once in this past two months.

This is why I need to drive! That way, right as school got out I could speed on down there and spend time with Jewel and Red.

Royal Blood

The 6th book in the Vampire Kisses series. It was really funny, and slightly cheesy. But for some reason I still end up reading and loving the books.

Christmas wish list

Alright, Santa please listen up while I make my list.

• Straight As and As on my exams.
• Books, books, and even more BOOKS
• The kindle
• New stockings
• cheese making kit
• Clothes, of any sort, as long as they're cute and stylish.
• All the White Stripes albums.
• Some bins for me to start composting.
• More time to ride.

Actually, half this stuff I would be fine with not getting, but the books, grades, and riding are a must.

Creamy Tomato Soup

I made it last night for dinner. I didn't particularly like it, although Alexis seemed to. I thought it was too rich, which made my stomach rebel.

All it took was tomatoes, onions, carrots, parsley, and butter. You throw it on the pot and after 20 minutes you mash it up in a vegetable mill (Which I don't have). Don't forget the half and half and the heavy cream.

Oh, and thyme, but we didn't have it so that was out of the recipe.

Again, this recipe = Not good!

Gaylord Palms

Monday the ice carving club took a field trip down to Orlando, Florida, to the Gaylord Palms hotel. We bought tickets for the ice carving event that the hotel was hosting. It was amazing.

Forty Chinese ice carvers came from China to carve 200,000 million tons of ice. They created a multitude of different sculptures, and everything was life size. There were polar bears, statues of people, angels, snow flakes, even a giant slide that you could ride down. It was nine degrees. You had to wear parkas. My fingers were burning. I had an amazing time!

My mom showed me this website and they have the cutest Kindle covers.

Ice Carving.

My very first ice carving, that a girl named Kristan and I did. Okay for my first time, right?


This was a Cornucopia Cup that an ice carver demonstrated for the class. He only got as far as the basic structure so I was finishing it. I love ice carving, and I'm determined to become very good at it!
