New Music

1~Arcade Fire: Fave songs: Wake up, My body is a cage, Keep the car running, Headlights, No cars go..

2~Radiohead: Creep (Edited version) (so far..I haven't been able to listen to them much)

3~Band of Skulls: I know what I am, Fire, Cold Flame, Death by Diamonds and pearls (I recommend them to any Black Key fans, Broken Bell fans, or White Stripe fans..)

4~The Pixies: Where is my mind, The happening, Into the white, Here comes your man (The Pixies are one of my favorite bands ever.)

5~The Shins: New Slang, Turn me on, Split needles (haven't been able to listen to them hardly at all!)


The other bands I'm trying to listen to more to see if I like them: Son Volt, Forest Sun, Sea Wolf (they're kind of like the Shins), Ra Ra Riot (So far I REALLY like them!), Pretty Girls Make Graves, Passion Pit, and The Whigs. (I really like them so far too.)

Day#1 In CALI!

We made it! At four am in the morning CALI time. We predicted it'd be 6 am but I don't know if my parents meant ID time or Cali time..I think they meant we'd be here FIVE am CALI time and SIX am ID time. (AHH! CONFUSING!) So for ONCE in our lives we WERE EARLY, SO YOU CAN COUNT THAT AS BEING ON TIME AND WE WERENT' LATE! YAY!

It was a LONG car trip. I probably scrounged up around 1 hour-2 1/2 hours of sleep. We left at 8pm ID time. The tots were drugged up with some good ol' benadryl. Jami fell asleep instantly. Jonah a little afterwards. Jessi could NOT fall asleep! She did but she kept waking up crying thinking my Mom had left. (She was sitting DIRECTLY behind my Mom so she couldn't see her, plus it was pitch black!)

Jake took a whole back row and just laid down. He got the most sleep out of all of us older three!

Jules and I shared a row (the tots were in the front second to the passenger/driver seat row) and we kept ending up laying on eachother's shoulders and stuff. It was funny. But yet pathetic. Hardly could sleep. Dad started drifting a bit but Mum stayed up the whole time with him talking to him so he wouldn't fall asleep. He WAS UP FOR TWENTY FOUR HOURS! HE GETS UP AT FIVE AND THEN WE ARRIVED AT FOUR! So, a lil' over twenty four hours. YIKES!

Lola was awake as usual. (She's AN EARLY BIRD!) And so we said hi to Uncle Brandon and Lola and then we jammed upstairs and went to sleep and everyone was up except Jules, Mummy, and Me. We were the last to get up. We got up at like 8. So that's cool.

We already ate Thanksgiving dinner! It's only five pm here!

We had a lovely walk to the park: Jake, Jonah, Jamesyn, Julienne, and me.

I'M TELLING YOU I SHOULDA BEEN PREPARED BUT IT IS HOT OVER HERE! I'VE NO CLUE WHY I BROUGHT LONG SLEEVES! Well, it's perfect for jeans. But, like jeans and a tank top. Everyone else is like in heavy sweaters! I'M LIKE DUDES..IT'S LIKE 60-70 DEGREES OUT! But, probably because it's FLIPPIN FREEZING IN IDAHO..AND WARM HERE!

To my friend Bel: I'M TOTALLY GETTING VITAMIN D HERE! HAHAH NICE CALI SUN! I'll bring some to ya in a bottle! Lol! For you and P-nut!

Love you all! I'm gonna get off the computer now. Haha. Just wanted to update you all.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Yours,

VELCOME TO MY HUMBLE ABODE...mWAHAHAHAHA

My parents come back today!! They get to try the yummy cherry muffins we made for breakfast today. (They were really good!!) And I have a roast that doesn't fit in the crock-pot, cooking right now. We'll have that over rice and..some sort of veggie. Haven't figured that part out yet :)

Bad thing is I forgot to defrost the roast over night..so it's as solid as a rock. I defrosted it some this morning and when I put it in the crock pot I tried to cut some of it off..IT'S A ROCK!! A BOLDER! A BRICK! The lid won't go on because no matter which way I try to put it in the crock-pot it pokes out. So I had to put foil over the top instead of the lid. I hope this works. I might have to come up with an alternative dinner if this doesn't work. Maybe spaghetti since it is quick and easy.

Last night, Jonah, Jules, Jamesyn, and I all slept in Mum and Dad's bed together. (I have to incase Jess wakes up or Jami gets scared she usually comes and snuggles with Mum.) SO, we all slept in bed together! IT was awesome!! We really need to do that more often...

Well, I have more house cleaning to do!!

Yours truly,
