YOU GOTTA READ IT!!!!!!!

Hey!!! So, me and two of my friends are ADDICTED to a series of books and you just HAVE TO TRY IT OUT!! It's a series I've already mentioned before, but heard there was a new book out and decided: Listen here young'ins, your gonna at least TRY this series or else your not gonna get to go over to the Baker's house!!! JK!! But seriousley, you need to read this book! The 1st one is called: Maximum Ride-The Angel Experiment. Here's a review: [Max and her band of brothers and sisters (the flock) find themselves hunted by a organization from a place called The School after being ambushed in their hideaway home.
From there they find themselves constantly running for their lives while trying unravel secrets hidden from them]. The concept of children with the ability to fly (with the inclusion of Hollow Bones) with WINGS is a nice touch to the story; The flying scenes were written very convincingly. The description of the action unfolding the extremely short chapters were well detailed, the words unfolded in my mind smoothly, the pharagraphs constructed in way that you don't find yourself scratching your head trying figure out how'd that character end up in such a position and so forth.
The characters are stellar; From Max to Angel, these Teenagers, tweenagers, and kids are excellent reflections of their real life counterparts to a T. And the villains, while they make you hate them, are well written. They're never so predictable, or straightforward with their plans it makes you roll your eyes.
And, if you're not convinced, here's a link to Amazon reviews about the book! Maximum Ride-The Angel Experiment!! Well, I hope you at LEAST got to your local library and read a few chapters! That's all for now, bye!!!

Meringue......FINALLY!!

Okay so, tonight I told my mom that I DESPERATELY NEEDED something sweet. So, we made Melt in Your Mouth sugar cookies. Which turned out to be Crumble in Your Hands sugar cookies. Just a tip: If you ever try to make Melt in Your Mouth sugar cookies and don't have Crisco, don't attempt to make them. They turn out tasting like a bad, crumbly fortune cookie! ;) Then, I don't know how it came up, but I wanted to make meringue. FOREVER I've wanted to make and try meringue, but never did. It's REALLY good!! But the sad thing is, it's really sweet!! My life is finally complete.......I HAVE TRIED MERINGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, that's all for now!!!!

THANKSGIVING!!! One of my favorite holidays!!!

Okay, as you ALL know.....Thanksgiving is just days away!! So, on this post, I'm going to tell you what I'm thankful for, and why. I was inspired to do this by my mom's blog: www.mommy321.blogspot.com Well, if you're ready, I will begin!!
  1. First off.....my family!!!! Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, EVERYBODY!! They have been with me through thick and thin and guide me along the way!! They taught me to love and follow Christ! They will always be behind me on my journey through life and I just HAD to put them first on this list!!
  2. My social support system!! My friends! They help me in social settings and keep me grounded and teach me how to be a better friend for any other future relationship I might have someday! ;) I could not be the person I am without any of 'em!
  3. My teachers! EVERY ONE! They are all a good model of if I want to do something good in life, I can. They followed and pursued their careers and so can I. They are so nice and put a smile on my face every weekday!
  4. My heroes! All the people I look up to! They tell and remind me every day that if I want something and I'm willing to work for it, it CAN be done!
  5. Everyone at my church! They tell me life stories and how to make tough decisions through God! They guide me in ways some people can't and love me through it all!
These people are just the top 5 who have impacted my life and that I'm thankful for! So, go to comments and list at least two things or people that YOUR thankful for!! Go on......it won't bite.......anymore. Well, thanks for reading my blog, you guys are AMAZING, and I'm thankful for you too!! ;) BYE!!

CO EDY, KYA, Bills, Oh My!! ;)

I can HONESTLY say that I went on my first CO EDY trip!!!!! It was sooooooooo much fun!!! I knew I would have a good time but NEVER would I have thought that I would like it THIS MUCH!! I really enjoyed it!!! I have some important things to tell you!!!! So, I'm a bill writer with Peyton, Braden, Amelia, and obviously myself!! Our bill PASSED at the CAPITAL and so did Harper's!!!!!!!!! YAY!! Plus, my two friends Amelia and Harper got an Outstanding Speaker award and Bridget Kim got awarded Governor!! Don't Fidget, YOU Voted for Bridget!! Heh, then on our way out, a little group of us got lost from the rest and couldn't find our way out of the capital! We went 2 different ways before we finally found the right exit!!! Then, on the last night, we had a dance!! If you've read my post Teach Me How To DOUGGIE!!!, you would know that I LOVE to dance. So, at the dance....I danced!! My friend Amelia says: The problem with Cali and dances is that she dances!! Hurtful!!!  The dance was awesome  because they played good music, we had just eaten at the Governor's Banquet, all in casual clothes!! I know what your thinking:casual clothing? I wear that all the time, not a big deal. Well let me tell you something!! When you got for two days in dressy clothes and flats that KILL your feet, your a lot more thankful when you get to wear jeans and tenni-shoes! Well, that's all I wanted to share with you!!

Teach me how to DOUGGIE!!

Hey everybody!!! So, if you have NEVER seen my complete profile, then I guess I must tell you!! I love to dance, and not to be braggy, but I'm pretty darn good!! So, I went to Big Blue Madness and saw Coach Mitchel do the Douggie!! I ROTFAL!!! (rolled on the floor and laffed!!) So, last night, my dad (who is the BEST dancer EVER) was trying to learn the Douggie. So, I jumped in and learned it too!!! But, when I saw the name of the group that sings that song and came up with the Douggie, I dropped my mouth open!! Wanna guess the name?!?!?! Nevermind, I'll tell you!! It's: Cali Swag District!!!!!! Spelled CALI, JUST LIKE MY NAME!!! C-A-L-I,is their Cali and me, Cali. Well, that's all I wanted to tell you. Btw, I mastered the Douggie!!! ;)
