Weekend

I hate my allergies that stink!!! I am sick beyond belief from them. I am allergic to so many plants rather than food. I hate pollens and allergens from plants. The worst time of year for me is this time and also is fall heading into winter. I get so sick during these times and there is like nothing I can do about it. I am so sick of it. I just want it to stop. Besides all of that jazz, I made a ton of money this week. I got two babysitting jobs. One with one of my regular’s two boys who are so funny! They love video games and we sat there playing my favorite game together for a few hours. It is called kingdom hearts. That game is awesome beyond belief. I also found out that they tell there parents they need to go out so that I can come babysit for them. Also that they “absolutely adore” me, which is awesome because I absolutely adore them too. But going on the second family I babysat for this week is a brand new family. This was my first time babysitting them and they have already asked me to babysit for them two more times in the next two weeks, well technically the same week. But those two kids are the smartest kids I have ever had the privileges of watching. They are brilliant. The girl is nine years old, she is creative beyond belief and she dances and is a cheerleader. The little boy is six, and he watches national geographic he also has the same if not better vocabulary as his sister. Which is amazing considered he learned to talk at the age of 3 when she did at like a year. But he is incredibly smart he already knows about echolocation in whales, dolphins and bats. He wants to be a meteorologist and she wants to be a Nasa Rocket engineer and study Egypt. This is an amazing ambition at her age. I am thoroughly impressed. She also knows everything about space you could possibly know. She also already knows that Pluto is a planetoid and not a planet. She gave me a full scientific synopsis of it too. They were the most confident and sweetest and smartest children I have ever known. I can not wait to go over there again and see them.

Corpus Christi

I had the most fun last weekend. My family and I took a trip to Corpus Christi. We had a season pass to the Corpus Christi Science and History Museum. During the month of February our pass was good for numerous attractions the U.S.S. Lexington, Texas State Aquarium, Corpus Christi Art Museum, Asian Cultural Museum, the Botanical Gardens, and, of course, the Corpus Christi Science and History Museum too.
We drove down with our two yorkies, Sassy and Stormy, to the La Quinta in Corpus Christi. Where we checked in and dropped off the yorks before we headed off to our first stop of the day. We started to go to the Aquarium but before that we stopped to eat at Pier 99. They have the best seafood or so I am told by my parents. I do not really like seafood. I was told I did not like it before I got hepatitis A at the age of three but that I would eat it anyway. Since the hepatitis I have not been to anxious to eat seafood unless I know who made it and that it was not contaminated by anything. Like how my mom makes blackened red fish or blackened catfish. But that is all beside the point it was fun. Unfortunately, the salad I ordered came with broccoli in it and I hate broccoli. It is too green and looks, tastes, and breaks funny. It is all over just yuck to me. I know I am particular or so my parents tell me. I rarely eat any vegetables except like salad stuff, and I mean simple salad fixings nothing real special, and green bean casserole and occasionally some really good corn on the cob. YUMMY!! But anyways it was fun and afterwards you can write a note and stick it under the clear table top. I guess it is so you literally leave your mark on Corpus Christi, Texas. If you are from far away like Canada or something but us not wanting to look like tourists opted out. This was mainly because we had done it on an earlier trip there. He He. Locals yea right.
The dolphins were amazing we also saw some wild dolphins while we were at the aquarium. We should I say a mother and calf following a shrimp boat. Man that would be a cool life on the ocean everyday. I Love the ocean.

Twilight the movie

This might be the biggest mistake of any movie director. Taking on the infamous book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight is the dream of every girl who has ever had the pleasure to read it. They have cast to actors who are iffy on the part. They only partial look like what people have imagined. They also are changing the story up more than any one is happy with.
“He throws me over his back [in one scene], right before he’s going to tell me that he’s a vampire, and then he runs over the treetops.” First of all he is not suppose to tell her he is a vampire. Bella is suppose to learn that by herself. Which is the whole point of the first five or six chapters of the book. So basically there goes the first good parts of the book with his dirty looks. Second Edward is not suppose to run over the tree tops. He has to run through the woods not over them. Why do they have to change so many pivotal points in the book. It just takes away from the story even more. If you are an obsessed fan (like I am then you are going to be ticked off by it) it is going to be harder for you to accept it. So why oh why must you change a good thing. You are risking everything based on the series, many of movies, on changing pivotal things in a descent well amazing book.
It also sounds like she has never read the books before which I find horrible. If you are going to play a part you need to at least be familiar with the book it is based on. It just aggravates me how little she teams to know about the best book ever written.
I am willing to give it a try and I will probably by the movie even if I do not agree with some of the scenes in it. But everything deserves at least one chance and probably at least one second chance to impress you again. So I will try not to bash there picks or sets until I see the finished project. I still have high hopes for it no matter what though. The book has set the bar high so lets hope it can reach that point . I love twilight and hope I love the movie version too.

Adoption Day

So obviously my last post did not work nor did it save. Therefore here it is again or for the first time either way you want to look at it.
Friday:
I went to Wal-Mart and met Robert Horry. He signed a basket ball for me and also my family and I got a picture with him. It was hilarious because he called my mom shorty. She is only 4’11”, she took it light heartedly. But her face was one of denial and shock. My dad and I cracked up laughing afterward.
Saturday:
I got to wake up to adoption day. It is a holiday my parents and I celebrate because it was the first day I was adopted 18 years ago and it is also the day I officially became a member of the family, at least according to the Gov’t. After we woke up at nine I got to open my presents. I got the present I had been dying for so bad. It was Bella’s bracelet from eclipse. It has a wolf on one end that represents Jacob Black, Bella’s other love but not her main one. The other is a crystal heart, a hand me down from Edward, Bella’s true soulmate. As Edward puts it, my heart is just as still, cold and all yours. It also throws sparkles into the light. This line and the reason behind it just made me feel so good about reading and buying the books. They are the best ever!!!! Then we went to the movie the eye. It was good but not as scary as I would of liked. We then went to the half price books and got so many different movies. Red Eye, Pride and Prejudice as seen on tv, Friends season 7, terminator 3, dolphin poster, and a cd.
I might as well include Sunday since I can.
Sunday:
So today I worked on that paper for writing. Then went to Wal-Mart 865, and helped my dad with his powerpoint for work. I then went shopping their I got to finally get Underworld and Underworld Evolution. Along with shoes, pork loin for a cook out, and eye glass cleaner for my new glasses, which I got Friday I might add. They are very pretty black plastic half frames with little crystal like stones on the sides. Then I came home studied for the economics test, watched the patriots lose and re-wrote my blog.
