Okay. So it's been about a week. Let's go over the highlights.
Last Friday Richard came home, so we had a belated birthday party for him. The Schaeffers and the Andrews and Grandmommy and Grandfather all came. You know, I really like to listen to my parents/brothers/older cousins/aunts/uncles/grandparents tell stories. So it was fun for me.
Saturday At about 10, we finally got around to doing our gingerbread house for the contest. My mom and Three got out all the stuff and I positioned it and stuff. Then we just left it. At 2, I painted the board and did the icing waves and Richard helped hot glue stuff on. We ended up being a bit late to the contest, but that's okay because ours was so much better than everyone else's. And I feel the eyepatch was a nice touch. If you can't tell, our gingerbread house was a PIRATE SHIP. We even put the house upside-down to make it like a boat (my idea). I took some pictures, so if I'm ever not completely lazy and useless, I'll post them on here. Heather decided we should watch The Lion King, so we did. Then I had to leave.
Sunday- Christmas! William and Gracie came in my room to wake me up. Of course, I was already awake thanks to my TERRIBLE sleeping problems. We all had breakfast and then went up to Richard's room to try to wake him up. Then...presents! I got some cool swag. At noon, we all went to our grandparent's and had lunch. I got to see/hold Pokey for the first time! At 4, we went back take the family picture. I wore my cool jacket. Heather was on a lower cushion, so I look taller. Ha! Holden and one of the twins (I don't remember which) wouldn't sit up straight. Because everyone kept saying "Sit up straight!", I got a bit frustrated and look a bit ridiculous (in my opinion). Then my dad (he's practically a professional photographer) did individual family pictures and of of Grandmommy with all the grandkids that hadn't left yet (at that point, only about 10 were left). Then we went home again. Later, we all went to the Branch Archers for dinner. Heather and I touched the walls. ^_^ Heather and Audrey have now been enlightened to the ways of Limewire. Then I had to leave.
Monday Honestly, I really really didn't want to go to swimming in the morning. But I forced myself and it turned out to not be so bad. Ron was there! ^_^ And afterwards I talked to Eleysa (which William, who was waiting for me in his car, wasn't happy about).
Tuesday I was actually looking forward to swimming. Why did they have to cancel like that!? =( Well, I ended up swimming with my mom in our pool. She made me do 2000 yards (which actually isn't bad at all).
Wednesday My mom made me swim again.
Thursday mental_floss came in the mail!
And that's about it. I've beening reading my new manga. I've been thinking too much. I can't sleep at night. I'm always tired (but that's normal). My room is a mess (that's normal too). I guess it's been a pretty good break? (Not a question, but I like it like that).
I've been trying to download episodes 27-50 of Bleach with Bit Tornado (Bit Torrent). It's taking forever. I started on Wednesday and it's only 19.3% done.
So...that's about it for now.

P.S.- Until I find a new template, I'll have to stick with this one. Please disregard the "White Christmas" part.

We watched Lion King at the gingerbread house contest, silly duck!
