Count down... again! :)

Alrighty. So I found this cool little count down generator thing, so now I have the exact number of days to the things I'm... counting down to. :) Since... you know, math isn't really my thing, I decided to just have something do it for me. :P

Anyway....

12 days until The Mentalist comes out on DVD.
14 days until season two of The Mentalist starts.
71 days until New Moon comes out in theaters.
72 days until I turn fifteen.

I have a cool little countdown to my birthday above my Song of the Week now. :) So... yeah.

Other than that... nothing new to report.

So... until later! :)

Counting down to so many things!

Ah. Yet another late-night blogging adventure. It's... 11:56 pm right now. :)

Alrighty. First of all, I'm SO SORRY that I haven't posted anything in, like, forever. Even though no one really reads this. :P But still!

Anyway, I just realized yesterday how many things I'm counting down to. Allow me to tell you all about it. :) Also... this is all using mental math, which isn't my strongest suit, so I'm sorry if I'm a day off or something. Not liked you'd really care enough to check though. :P Anyway....

16 more days until The Mentalist (season one) comes out on dvd.
18 more days until season two of The Mentalist starts.
74 more days until New Moon comes out in theatres.
76 more days until I turn fifteen.

See? How amazing is that?

See, The Mentalist is a tv series I watch am obsessed with. :) It's pretty dang amazing, in my opinion. I saved up money this summer to buy the dvd when it comes out. :)

And Star Trek. I know what some of you are probably thinking... 'Star Trek? That nerdy show?' Let me just say that I have never watched the actual 1960's show and I don't think I plan to. BUT, I went and saw the new movie with friends on Friday night, and let me say, it was amazing. :) At first I was a bit skeptical, but once we were actually sitting in the movie theatre and the first two minutes of the movie had passed, I was hooked. :) SO, now I want it on dvd for myself. :) And it comes out four days before my birthday, which is very convenient. ;)

Also, I finally changed my Song of the Week. Since I've had "Halo" stuck in my head all day, it seemed pretty fitting. So... there ya go. :)

Anyway, that's all for now.
BYE! :)

7 more days of summer...

Oops. So... I know it's kind of late (11:54 pm, to be exact), but I was randomly on the computer, checking Facebook, hoping my dad wouldn't suddenly come downstairs and get mad at me for being on so late, when this comercial came on the tv and the lady said, "I love blogging!" (Isn't it some candy comercial?). And then I was like, "Oops. When was the last time I updated my blog?" So... yeah. Here I am now. At... 11:56 pm.

Nothing all that new to report. Besides that there's just a week left in school. Sigh. But at least I'll be an amazing 9th grader. ;)

Um... today I went and had my hair cut and highlighted. I'm actually pretty proud of it. I also had my eyebrows waxed (long story. My friend was all like, "OMG, THAT'D BE HILLARIOUS." and my mom was like, "Haha, I'm going to make you do it..." It hurt really bad. :P But only for a second.

Now, if only I could gather up enough courage to get my ears pierced...

Anyway, I think that'll be all right now. I'm tired and a bit parinoid that my dad is going to hear me typing or something and come downstairs. So... goodbye. :)

No news is... no news.

Yeah. No new news (ahaha). Depressing, huh?

Wait a second. I lied. There is news. :)
My neighbor Amy got married on Saturday. I got to tag along to watch her one-year-old daughter and also help with food. It was fun. :)

I also babysat said one-year-old today, too. For eight and a half hours. It was kind of tough, since she had woken up at 4:30 in the morning and only slept a half-hour since then. But I got her to sleep another 45 minutes. So... it was okay. :) And she's just one of the cutest little girls ever, so it was worth it. :)

Um... HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE COMES OUT ON WEDNESDAY! That's not tomorrow, but the next day, in case you have no clue what today is. ;) I'm excited. Though I probably won't be able to see it until this weekend at least, because (quoting my mom), "There is no way I'm taking you to see that movie. I hate Harry Potter." Sooo.... I have to round up a few friends who pity me enough to go see it a second time just for me. :) Because my mom says she'll drive us all to the movie theatre, she just won't watch the movie. :P

So... yeah. :)

And... new song of the week is Unstoppable by Rascal Flatts. I had no clue what song to do, so I just turned on my iPod and hit it against my hand so it would shuffle (because I'm to lazy to do it the manuel way... and also that way is just so much cooler), and that was the first song to come up. So... yeah. Good song. :)

Except... my wonderful little playlist at the bottom has suddenly decided to rebel and not play that song. So, instead, Grace Kelly by Mika is playing. But... that's a good song, too. ;)

Anyway. That's all. :)

Here's to those celebrities...

There's about a month and a half until school starts again, which is depressing. I want summer to last longer than that. Then again, I'm kind of bored, and maybe being a ninth grader will be fun. :)

Let's see... as you all know, Michael Jackson has died. Even though he was a bit of a... creepy guy in the last few years before he died, he was way cool between the Jackson 5 era up to the 80's. I'll Be There, ABC, Beat It, Thriller, Man in the Mirror... all great songs. :) Anyway, today was his memorial and stuff, which I watched TV (it was on most of the channels for three hours). But it was actually pretty good, lots of people talking about him and singing and stuff. And at the end his daughter Paris said a few words, which was really sweet. Even though a lot of people turned against him in his last few years, he was still a human being, and I must say: rest in peace, Michael Jackson.

Also, Farrah Fawcett died the same day as MJ. That's sad, because no one really payed as much attention to her death. But at least she's in a better place, and now cancer-free. Rest in peace, Farrah Fawcett.

And finally, Billy Mays. TV comercials and the show Pitchmen have lost a great guy. He was funny and yelled at your face from the TV screen to get you to by Oxi-clean and other stuff. He left too soon, and he'll be missed. Rest in peace, Billy Mays.

Anyway, I don't really have anything else to say. Other than the song of the week is Man in the Mirror.

Have a nice day. :)

Lazy summer days...

It's still summer, obviously.
I'm still bored, obviously.
But that's okay. :)
Today was awesomely warm and sunny, so I took the camera outside and took a bunch of pictures. I even shot a few of my little brother, too. :) It felt so nice outside today, though!

I have some exciting news. :D
My sister Camelle is having a baby. :)
It's my twentieth niece/nephew, but it's still exciting. It's kind of a surprise baby, though. When it's born, her oldest will be thirteen and her youngest eight. But yeah. :)
Um... Nothing else really to report.
But I suppose I'll post some of the pictures I took on my little picture spree. :)

Pictures all obviously by me, Chantel. :)

Little tiny yellow flower still blooming.

Funny frosted-looking plant in one of our patio pots.
I thought this looked kind of cool, though. :)

I am extremely proud of this picture. :)

Some cherries hanging down from our cherry tree.

Also a cool picture. :)

Little morning glory in the leaves. :)

Okay... so, that's all for now.

BYE. :)

High-speed Internet!

Okay. So, I've been living with dial-up for... ever. :P
But today, I got HIGH-SPEED INTERNET.
It's amazing. :)

Anyway. I've been at my sister's house since Wednesday, babysitting her kids. I just got back today. And now I'm enjoying my fast internet. :)

I'm enjoying my summer so far (even though I'm... bored). I already have my schedule for next year, though, which makes me kind of excited. :)

Um... jeez. Nothing else really to say. Told ya it was a boring summer.

Oh. Song of the Week is Stand by Rascal Flatts.

So... done for now. :)
