I think this week needs to end. Pronto.

So...this blog is supposed to be partially pictures, right? I will post  some this week :) Hopefully. I just need to use photoshop and a certain sisters computer...

They will probably all be pictures of the Salt Lake Temple. Just sayin'.

Question. You know how teachers are always telling you that "there is no dumb question; ask away; give any answer! It's always accepted and you should not feel stupid (unless it is a completely stupid answer)"?

Why do they get mad at you when you answer wrong then? And make you feel extremely stupid...?

That happened to me the other day. I answered yes. but the answer was no. The teacher made me feel pretty awkward...

"don't you be saying yes, Miss Hall. Because it definitely isn't"

Oh. Sorry...I answered before you finished the question. My bad.


And that, my friends, is why I don't participate in class discussion 99.9% of the time.


Christmas Break...you are almost here. Run a bit faster

Dear Jack,

Okay...you can come down now. I know I told you to go away and never come back,but I didn't really mean it. After all,it was a year ago. The truth is that it just isn't the same without you here;mainly because it's that time of the season where you are really needed. You don't have to stay long; just a month. You make Christmas come alive. I also like to have you in my pictures. You add a certain excitement to them. And let me tell ya, going sledding without you is NO FUN. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't feel right going down that hill not having you there to slide me along. So here is my final plea: come back for just a little while. If you promise not to hurt anyone then maybe we will want you to stay a bit longer. Complete our Christmas.


Seriously. Snow, you better get here quick. I expect your arrival by Monday morning. You will be welcome on Sunday too, of course


Someone who needs your magic,

Caitlin

dumb mustard.

Yesterday for dinner I had Subway and asked (obviously not thinking) for mustard. Because it's standard, and I love mustard. After I asked for it I thought that I should probably say " I don't want mustard. " But I did not. I cringed (spelling?) when he loaded the amount of that sauce onto my sandwich. She put on much more than necessary.

I ate the sub anyway. Afterwards, I turned to my friend Jess and asked if there was anything in my teeth or if my braces (with clear bands) were clean.

"looks good!" she said.

ha.

I woke up this morning, looked at my teeth and the top bands where more yellow than the bright sun up above. Joy to the world.

I got to school, showed Jess my teeth and again she said they weren't bad and that I was too paranoid.
but my mother told me they were pretty yellow...and did that little "oh dear" laugh.


I tried not to smile the rest of the school day, but I completely failed. It's hard not to laugh or smile when you have guys trying to force you to.

I tried brushing my teeth with baking soda a couple times (disgusting.) then I did normal toothpaste for a while and it got a little better...but not much. School needs to end for the break now or my ortho appointment needs to come quicker.


this random girl at my school (I have never ever seen her before) came up to me and told me how beautiful my hair looked. I like her. It definitely made my day awesome and (believe it or not) made me forget about my yellow teeth for a while. Wondering how my hair was? It was the waterfall braid. Discovered it this summer.

definitely not the best picture. but you can kind of see it. I need more natural light...

excuse the fly aways and split ends

I can still taste the baking soda.

see my earings? the one on the left is a boy, the right, a girl. They kiss if you take them out and put them together :)

see? :D

New Goal

I MUST go to New York city sometime in the Christmas season.

Yeah, it is going to happen

pretty sure it can't get any more adorable than this...

From

...sigh...

Today. And Mormon Message Monday

I have a lot of piano to practice. 1 hour down, 1 more to go (you can do it!)

My feelings got hurt too easy. Chiiiill Kk.

Christmas tree up? si. and it's real. And not a themed tree. Unless you count random as a theme

Snow? No. You  need to come faster so that it feels like Christmas is here

My teacher swore at us today. I was on the verge of bursting out with laughter but thought better of it. I would have REALLY been sworn at then

I want to know what my sister got me for Christmas....I have NO idea.

Jake Heaps is transferring. Mmmm...I think he should stay and just red shirt next year. Riley, please do not get hurt.

Temple square tomorrow. WoOT.

I was late to school. When it's an A day and a monday at the same time, being there when class first starts never happens. Usually I just forget it starts earlier. Today however...haha. I was savoring my sleep

AMAZING Christmas Devotional last night. Glad I got to go :) I love the first presidency

Wuthering Heights. Hate the book. Everyone is absolutely insane except Edgar. He is normal

Government class. One of the most boring, yet entertaining classes I've had...

In a quick choir practice today after school, I got sent out twice into the hall for talking. Don't worry, it was along with about 150 other people the first time, then only the altos the second time. Not just me :)

It's amazing...the effect music has on you.

Red heads... enough said.

Ward Party leftovers

I wore pants today. I was too cold for a skirt and didn't want to put on tights. I know, I'm lazy

I love Christmas :D

December

It's OFFICIALLY Christmas season. And although I have been listening to Christmas music for 3 weeks (don't shoot me) I'm still super stoked to listen to those that I have not listened to. The ones that are totally sacred and meant only for december. Aaaand a week and a half after Christmas. Those would be Kenny G, Harry, Amy, Al Green, etc. I have been listening to mainly the radio weirdness and the angel David A (that's who I'm listening to right now).


Now that it's December I thought I would put some things that have belonged to this month since I was a kid. Some things I will list are things that we don't do anymore. I will mark those with a *. Let the list begin

Amy Grant
Harry Connick Jr.
Kenny G
Mannheim steamroller
pretzels
mint M&M's
mint kisses
get and decorate our real tree on the first saturday of Dec.
singing on the 3rd Sunday
Luke 2
* reenacting (spelling?) Luke 2 (being Mary was pretty much the best. Getting to ride in on someones back carrying my doll...yep. That was the way to go)
White Christmas (movie)
wassail
neighbor treats
snow
*performances by the kids
fire place
cinnamon
gingerbread cookie decorating
*getting a picture with Santa/ seeing him at the mall
*looking for Rudolphs nose (thanks to Bethany)
*reading a Christmas book every night with mom
christmas puzzles
presents
*surprise presents
sledding
the Chipmunk song
*drawing names from a bowl
Christmas Eve dinner
egg nog with sprite
waking up early and waiting on the stairs
driving around looking at lights
temple square
opening presents youngest to oldest
*"We Three C's"


That's all I can think of at the moment. Then there has been a couple things added in like R&B Christmas mix, rotating names, knowing my presents, David Archuleta, etc etc.

I was going to initiate December in with these, but I didn't have time. Tomorrow maybe?



Some boys act like girls and get offended like that (*fingers snapping*) (and name that movie) and bring to pass ridiculously stupid drama. It's super annoying. Just throwing that out there.

Yay for manly men! :D

And yes, next year I'm waiting until December to listen to that magical music. Or at least after Thanksgiving, because it does make it a lot more exciting. Darn giving into temptation(s) (haha...get it?)
