If I were in charge of the house it would be so fun! I would watch T.V, jump on my bed, invite as many friends that I want over, and I would play on my iPod for a long time and make sure I had a charger! If I got hungry I would make myself my some delicious blueberry muffins, popcorn, and I would snack on ice cream. I might even watch my favorite movie Pitch Perfect. I could probably watch that movie all day! With my friends, I would play a game or watch more movies or just talk, it depends on what they want to do. I would have my friends stay the night. If my friends and I happened to get bored, we would invent a Cleaner Machine. It looks like a laser gun and all you would have to do was pull the trigger and cleaner spray would come out. After the gun sprays, a towel comes out and long, thin arms pop out with, and wipe up the cleaning spray to make it nice and sparkly. The gun would be blue and green, it would be in the World Record Books for the greatest invention.
My room would be full of clothes, but it would look organized. When I open my closet, all you would be able to see was shoes. Such as, basketball shoes and volleyball shoes, tennis shoes and they wouldn't be any ordinary shoes, there wouldn't be a pair like it in the world! My friends and I would take pictures of our silly clothes that we would pick out to wear! Once the best day of my life is over, the house would look like a tornado blew through it and neither of us would be able to talk because we were laughing so hard! My mom and dad wouldn't be too happy about it!

Last Weekend
Last weekend I had a volleyball tournament at West Delaware. I was so nervous because it was our first volleyball tournament! I am the setter and that is a big job! I have to have a good day that day otherwise my sets are terrible! That's just how it goes for me. On my team there is, Maci, Madison, Sammy, Brooke, Olivia, Faith, Kaela, and me. I'd say we are pretty good! The only thing we have to work on is getting back on defense, blocking and getting in our new positions when we get the ball back. But that is a lot of moving so that's probably normal. I really like volleyball because you are always moving. When we get our serves over our team is very good! Our two competition teams were The Starmont Stingers, and the West Delaware (A) team. Al says that they are just very experienced. I'd say that the next time we play them, they better watch out because Al's goal is to beat the Stingers and when Al says something to himself he will do anything in his power to get it to turn out positive. We've beaten the Singers one match but not a whole game because, we weren't focused! We ended up getting 3rd place, which is pretty good for our first game. Wish us a good rest of the season!

Our Shopping Trip
One afternoon, my friends, Hope, Jenna, and I, went shopping. I will tell you, that it was an adventure! As we made our way to Lindale Mall in Cedar Rapids, we took a trip to Dairy Queen. I ordered a strawberry sundae, Jenna ordered an Oreo Blizzard, and Hope ordered a chocolate sundae. After we got done eating our ice cream, I had a really bad headache. I get headaches a lot! Jenna played doctor on me and gave me some Ibuprofen.
"We're here!" Hope shouted excitedly.
"No duh," said Jenna. Walking in, we all skipped then Hope fell on her face! (If you haven't noticed Hope is a pretty big blond! In the past she had made a pretty big fool out of herself. Once she was doing a presentation on the computer, and she tripped over one of the cords, which made her fall.) She started laughing, and got up to join Jenna and me on our way through doors of the Lindale Mall.
The first store we went to, was Aeropostale. As we were looking Hope said,
"I want that!"
Jenna and I walked over and looked at the price tag, a $95.00 outfit! It included skinny jeans, a shirt, and a jacket to go along with!
"Jeez, Hope, that is pretty expensive," I said sarcastically.
"Ya, I agree," said Jenna.
"Well, I'm getting it," said Hope.
Hope just rolled her eyes and went to the check out counter.
"Let's go to the next store," I said to Jenna.
We walked into Justice and I immediately ran toward a shirt I really adored.
"I call this shirt, nobody take it," I said anxiously.
The shirt was blue (my favorite color) and it has zebra stripes, the shirt went to your elbow, and it was a V neck. Hope and Jenna didn't seem to like it much, but that meant they wouldn't take it from me.
"That would be $35.00 please," said the cashier.
"What?! $35.00? We are going to spend either really close to our budget or way over! And my mom will kill me if that happens," said Jenna.
"How do you know?" said Hope against Jenna's statement.
"Hope, I know you and I will guarantee you that it will happen... trust me," Jenna said, certain.
"Okay, whatever you say," said Hope, determined.
We've been shopping for 3 hours now.
"I'm hungry," said Hope.
"Okay what restaurant should we go to," I asked.
"I WANT MCDONALDS!!!" screamed Hope in excitement.
"Well, I think we have our answer," said Jenna.
Once we all got done eating, Jenna had to go to the bathroom.
"I'm cold! Let's go back in the van and once Jenna's out she can come back," I said.
"But she doesn't know that we are in the van! Wait, she's smart, she can figure it out."
"Let's go!" I said impatiently.
Once Jenna was done she went and waited for us in the main eating part of McDonalds.
"Is she done yet?!" Hope asks me in the van.
"Do you think I have any idea?" I say, "Well I'm sure she is done, so maybe she thought we went back to the mall. Should we check?"
"Probably," said Hope.
At the mall we looked in Justice and Aeropostale and she wasn't in either one!
"Hope, I think we left her at McDonalds,"I said.
"Well, it is possible since we left early to come here and look for her," Hope assumed.
Right when she said that I was in shock. Not only because we have a chance to find Jenna, but because she didn't have a blond comment back! Which is pretty amazing because she is the biggest blond that I have ever met!
"We better go back to McDonalds," Hope said hopefully.
You can maybe tell that Hope and I are very afraid of losing Jenna because if we never find her, what will her mom say? I am assuming it's not going to be a very nice conversation.
"Well, then let's go," I said worried that Jenna wasn't going to be there.
As we walk into McDonalds, Jenna sprints into both of our arms.
"Where were you guys? I've been here for, like, ever!" Jenna screamed.
"We thought you were done and you went to the mall, so we went to the mall to find you and I guess we left you here? Are you okay?" Hope and I said in unison.
"Just promise me that you won't leave me behind in McDonalds again... or anywhere else?"
"I promise," I said seriously.
"Well, I promise with my pinkie! Do you guys get it? (Pinkie promise)" said Hope cheerfully.
"Good, because that wasn't very fun! What store are we going to go to next?" Jenna wondered.
"My sister said something about a store that we went to before, but I can't seem to remember... WAIT, I got it, well part of it! It started with a K." I said unsure.
"Oh I know what you're talking about.. I've been there too! Was it Kay Jewelers?" Hope asked.
"No.. I think it was a clothing store," I said.
"It is Kohl's, or isn't it?" asked Jenna.
"Yes! That's it! How did you know?" I asked.
"Because I am just smart, I guess." Jenna responded.
Once we were in Kohl's, it was packed! Not only of people, but clothes! Which is kind of the point since it's a clothing store.
"This shirt is cute, but it's expensive!" I noticed.
"I guess that just means if you don't absolutely like it then you don't get it!" Jenna said.
"If you put it that way, you sound mean," said Hope rudely.
"Let's not get in a fight," I said hoping they would agree.
"Fine," said Hope and Jenna unhappily.
"I like these!" said Jenna, looking at a set of earrings.
"How much does it cost?" I asked.
"$15.00. But they are really cute and I don't have any," said Jenna making it sound like she is about to die without this set of earrings.
"Well how much money is on the credit card that your mom gave us?" I asked anxious to know.
As Jenna was digging through her satchel Hope came a upon a really cute pair of Ugg Boots.
"Since you're letting Jenna get that pair of earrings can I get this pair of Ugg Boots?" asked Hope.
"First of all I never actually said that I was going to get Jenna the pair of earrings. I just asked how much money her mom had on the credit card. How much is that pair of boots?" I said.
"Let's see here.." said Hope as I asked Jenna how much her mom had on that credit card.
"My mom put $150.00 on it," said Jenna as she was on her way to the check out counter.
"That will be $15.00," said the cashier.
Jenna handed the Credit Card to the cashier.
"You need 5 more dollars to be able to pay for this pair of earrings," said the cashier.
After we heard the cashier say that, we all huddled and discussed what we were going to give up so we can pay for the earrings.
"I say that you give up your shirt," said Hope to me.
"What?! If you end up getting these Ugg boots, you will have two things that you have bought, and Jenna and I only have had one," I said meanly.
"Hey! I guess I can put these Ugg boots back," Hope said sadly.
"Ladies, I need you to pay for these now or they go back on the shelf." reminded the cashier.
"Okay, we are not going to buy the Ugg boots and we are not going to buy the earrings," said Jenna disappointed.
"Ok, then your credit card is now out of money," said the cashier as she was giving me the receipt.
On the car ride home us girls got into a little fight.
"Jenna, why did you put those earrings back?" I asked.
"Because I knew that we wouldn't have enough money anyway and plus I knew you wouldn't give anything up."
"Well, you should know that you didn't have to do that!" I said.
After I said that the rest of the car ride home was in silence.
When we arrived at Jenna's house her mom greeted us.
"So, how was the trip?" she asked.
"It was all right." Jenna said.
"I guess it was fun!" said Hope.
"Why are you guys so gloomy?" Jenna's mom wondered.
"Promise you won't be mad... okay?" I said to her mom.
"Promise. Now spill. Remember tell the truth." Jenna's mom declared.
"We kind of spent all the money on the credit card you gave us." I said in disgust.
"It is fine, I assumed you girls would spent over the amount that the credit card had on it. So I will just buy the stuff you guys couldn't." said Jenna's mom generously.
"Thank you for the credit card and letting me take my friends shopping with me I love you, mom!" said Jenna.
"You girls deserve to have a fun day once in a while," Jenna's mom said happily.
"We're here!" Hope shouted excitedly.
"No duh," said Jenna. Walking in, we all skipped then Hope fell on her face! (If you haven't noticed Hope is a pretty big blond! In the past she had made a pretty big fool out of herself.

Over the Holidays...
Over the long break, I was very entertained because, I babysat my cousins on New Year's Eve. Their names were Ella (9), Drew (6), and Carly (4).
After they got to my house, I asked them if they wanted to play Just Dance 4. Carly says,"Ya I wanna shake my booty!"
So I say," Okay". According to Carly, we had to dance to the Justin Bieber song and of course, she wanted me to dance with her! After that whole ordeal was over, Drew wanted to play Tractor Pull on my iPod touch that I got for Christmas, I let him. Ella and my sister, Molly, were playing school on Molly's marker board.
Then after they were tired of playing Just Dance 4, they said they wanted to have something to eat. So, I put a frozen pizza, in the oven. After that was done baking, I cut the pizza and cut Carly's piece into smaller slices. I did the same with Drew's piece. If all the kids ate their whole piece of pizza, which they did. Carly ate one piece of pizza, Drew ate one, and Molly ate two, same with Ella.
After that I put in the movie Carly wanted to watch, Tangled. She knew every line to that movie! She must've watched it how many times. While she and the other kids were watching the movie I was braiding her hair. She was sitting in front of the chair I was sitting in and she had her eyes locked to the T.V, she was also singing the song Call Me Maybe. Once I was done, she started dancing around and singing to that song so I had the amazing idea to video tape it on my iPod. She was really funny!
"Can we have popcorn?" asked Drew in starvation.
"Ella and Carly do you want popcorn?" I asked.
"Ya!" they both said unison.
So I put a bag of popcorn in, not knowing that you're not supposed to set that type of popcorn for four minutes in the microwave. So it was now nine o'clock and the kids just got their pajamas on. As I walked out of the living room and into the kitchen I saw the popcorn covered the glass part to see out of! So I opened the microwave and all of the popcorn had fallen on the floor... everywhere!
Once I got that big mess picked up and got each kid their own little bowl of popcorn. I turned on Good Luck Charlie.
It was 10:30 and all of the kids were sleeping on the floor. After one episode of that was over, I watched my favorite movie, The Coach. It's about basketball, and that's my favorite sport!
The next morning all of the kids woke up on each side of me, and almost on top of me, they were that close! Right when Carly woke up she said, " I want pancakes!"
"And sausage!" said Drew.
So I put the pancake batter on the pan and as that was cooking, I got the kids into their all day clothes.
After they ate all of their breakfast, they finished playing Just Dance 4. Then their parents came and took them home. I guess you could say my Christmas Break was pretty entertaining!
After they got to my house, I asked them if they wanted to play Just Dance 4. Carly says,"Ya I wanna shake my booty!"
