I had a great Christmas! My Aunt B. and Uncle D. came to spend it with us. Though Uncle D. had to go to work when we went to Grandma and Grandpa's, Aunt B. got to come with us! At G-ma's and G-pa's, all our cousins from Utah were there. I brought my fairy game books and a whole bunch of stuff, but they didn't so I wished I didn't have to haul all that stuff around. Oh well. Most of what we did was talked and sat around or played Moffia or cared for baby cousins. But it was fun. At one point I went outside to make a snow fort, but I was frozen and went back in to warm up and didn't go out again. That's not like me...but we didn't have an icy hill to sled down (there was a snowy one, but that didn't work out as well) and one of my cousins hurt her behind really bad and came in, and it was just really cold. So the uncles dug a big tunnel for nothing. Sigh.
I still had fun though. When we came home from the Grandparents, I read a book to Brandon almost all the way there without getting sick! Usually I feel so rotten after reading in the car...but this time the only time I had to stop was when my popping ear was driving me crazy. I was confused because my ear only pops on airplanes most of the time, and I can't remember a time when it's popped driving to Grandma and Grandpa's. But it wasn't that bad.
When we opened presents, I was unbelievably excited. I got TONS of cute clothes, new earphones for my MP3 player, a beautiful fairy ornament to add to my collection, my DREAM BOOTS (on the list; light brown ones), an awesome bookmark with cute kitties in a field, a book of fine fairy art, a book with pictures of me all throughout my life so far, candy (YUM), beef jerky (YUM), a kiwi (YUM), an adorable black jacket with a matching pair of leather gloves, binoculars, a cute picture frame with a fairy on it, a $10 gift card for Target, pencils, a notebook, a fuzzy pink bag containing fuzzy pink gloves, a fuzzy pink hat, a fuzzy pink scarf, and some creamy white lotion, and SO much more. It was so fun to spend the holidays with my Aunt and Uncle too. I'll miss them...
How was your holidays? What did you get? Write it on your blog (if you have one) or comment here!!!

Six Quirks
I was looking over an old post on a friends blog, about tagging. She said, "For the first time in my blogging experience I've been tagged; it feels a bit like being chosen for the cool kids team in elementary school." And I've been tagged too, so I need to follow the rules as well.
THE RULES:
1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the fun begin!
1) I can rarely choose favorites. Every now and then I'll have a favorite outfit that I absolutely adore and wear a LOT, but then it gets ruined because I love it too much. I do have a favorite food: SALMON. MMMMMMMMMM. Yum. My favorite color used to be Cerulean Blue, no questions asked. But now that's about tied with green. If I'm asked, I'll say blue, but really I'd rather not choose. But other than that, I just can not choose favorites. I'm always torn between two or more things...and I can't decide.
2) This isn't really quirky, but I collect notebooks, pencils and erasers. Pretty ones. For notebooks, I love the pretty ones, but I save those for when I'm done with the ugly ones that I find in the office or around the house. I have many cool notebooks that I absolutely adore, though I'm always wishing for more. Like, "Man, I wish I'd bought that notebook when I had the chance...it's too pretty to pass on!" or "Why didn't I take just two more from her when she said I could have all of them if I wanted?" And I collect pretty, fuzzy, shiny, and sparkly pencils. Though those are the ones I save. I use the other ones (Halloween, Christmas, doggy, sports pencils) and use them when appropriate. Like around Christmas time, I use only Christmas pencils. And erasers; I don't really care if they are pretty, I just collect them and if they are pretty, I save them.
3) As I said in the previous post, I'm sorry if I don't write anyone thank you letters, it's just so tedious (I'm spoiled, I get gifts from a LOT of people, and it would take forever to write notes to everyone). I'm also worried about when I get to the point where I'm supposed to make Christmas cards for everyone I want to stay in touch with...I'm afraid I won't have the patience...
4) I was born in a pool with little floaty toys and such (most of you probably know this; I don't know everyone who reads my blog, but most likely, all of you do
5) I love typing. Most probably find it tedious, but I love it because I'm fast. My class was working on this newspaper thing and some people weren't done typing their articles and I had to type some of it for them to get it done quickly. I was glad to help out but I admit I was also doing it to show off; I'm really proud.
6) I like to clean anywhere but my room, and organize ANYTHING. I've wished someone would hand me a house full of junk so I could clean and organize it into perfection. I've even begged my friend to let me clean her room, but she refused saying "It's easier to hide things when it's messy." I contradicted, "But it's also easier to lose things!!!" but she still wouldn't let me. I only organized her shelf...it actually took me about 15 minutes to do just that.
Now, I'm not going to tag you, but I want to let you know that I always read your updates through Google Reader. These are the people I choose: Shannon, Kathrine (you tagged me), and the 5 Brothers Blog team. That means you ALL have to write 6 quirks about yourself and you ALL have to follow the rules. That means you, 5 brothers blog members. You ALL have to do it. I didn't make a link on my blog to yours Kathrine, but I have a link on Google Reader. So I'm reading all your updates.
Happy blogging!

Another Wish List
I forgot to put some things down on my last wish list, even though I received some of them. Here it is again, with a little added on:
Boots (Light brown, Dark brown, or Black)
Playmobil Crystal Cage
Whimsy Dragon Webkinz
New Jeans that fit me; the only ones that fit right now have a hole in the knee
I feel greedy saying this, but I know it's not that much. And of course, I'm grateful for anything.
P.S. If I don't send you a thank-you card, don't take it personally! I'm just really bad about doing that kind of thing; I intend to, but I never get around to it.
