Well today is my 14th Birthday!!!

We are not going to have my party today, but next Sunday after my band concert (May 4),

But today for my birthday I am going Birthday Shopping with my grandma (she never know what to get so we go together), and before i go shopping i am going to pick out my birthday cereal (it’s a tradition in our family where the birthday person gets to pick out birthday cereal).

And after shopping it will be around 4:00! and i am going to the library, and maybe have a friend over!

I’ll post some pictures soon of my day!

P.s if it does not work tell me.

I was reading in my science today and they were talking about some of the things that can be dissolved in different types of liquids and pop was one of them.

Here is a really interesting article on “Liquid Candy” (aka Soda Pop)

Here is some of what the article said

“

“

That is a big amount of pop, and i don’t even drink pop that much…it makes you some what grossed out!

Here are two more

“Carbonated soft drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, providing about 7 percent of calories; adding in noncarbonated drinks brings the figure to 9 percent. Teenagers get 13 percent of their calories from carbonated and non carbonated soft drinks.”

“Consumption of carbonated soft drinks peaked in 1998, when consumption was 56.1 gallons per person. In a historic turnaround, consumption was 7 percent lower in 2004. And because some people have switched to diet sodas, the consumption of caloric soft drinks declined by 12 percent.”

I mean come on here 56.1 Gallons per person!!!

Tell me what you think.

Here is a really touching story…I hope you like it….

 A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could easily afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embosses in gold. Angrily, he rose and said to his father, “With all your money, you give me a Bible?” And he stormed out of the house.

Many years passed, and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family but knew his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day years earlier. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift- wrapped Bible just as he had left it years ago. With tears running down his face, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse of Scripture: “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11). As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words “Paid in Full.” How many times do we miss God’s blessings because we can’t see past our own desires?

I am  not sure if this is a true story or not but i liked it…and i did not write it…

I read this on a friends blog, but i’ll post it here too.

Here is a lady from Texas…and she had a life sized cake for her wedding.

Hello!!

Merry Christmas!!

What do you do on Christmas?

This is what we do:

First we set up our outside decorations about the middle of November. Then about the middle of December we set up our Christmas tree and do the ornaments and all that stuff (we can’t forget the stockings!! and we do get a fake tree!!) Then during the time after we set up our Christmas tree to Christmas we go shopping for siblings and stuff (we can’t forget the parents going shopping!!) Then on Christmas Eve we go to my Grandpa and Grandma Pazins house with all of our cousins, aunts and uncles. There my Grandpa and Grandma serve dinner (we are part polish so we eat polish food, you may think it tastes bad but actually tastes pretty good!!). Then after dinner we have a concert were all the grandchildren (i am playing What Child is This) play something, then after the concert the part we all look forward to can you guess?? You probably have, well it is opening gifts!! After we open up gifts and glow over them we eat something yummy, can you guess what it is?? You probably have again well it’s time for dessert!! YUMMY!! Then after dessert we play with our gifts and after that can you guess this time?

Then on Christmas day we get up around 8:00 or earlier and open up stockings. Then we have breakfast and then we get dressed, then play with the presents from the night before

The we are going to our Grandpa and Grandma Braun’s house and this year our uncle and his family are coming up from Colorado!

Then we eat some yummy food that my grandma makes (most of the time we help too)

Merry Christmas from The Spunkettes!!

P.s we will write later and tell you what we got!

It snowed like 12!!! it will be soooo fun to go play in it the only problem is that i don’t have any boots I hope we get more snow soon!!!
