I know I always say “Sorry that I haven’t blogged in awhile.” But I have four things on the go. They are: my cross-stitch (that I’m half finished), my book “Clan of the Cave Bear” By Jean M. Auel (it is really good so far), Mum’s website (I’ve only done four pages that are live) and of course my BLOG.

On Sunday mum and I went to have a look at this open home (just to be nosey and to have fun) it was fun. Then we started driving to the shops. This car in front of us was slowly drifting into this other car on the opposite lane. Mum and I could see it happening. Nether of them were going fast. The car that got hit was totally MUNTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the damage was on the driver’s door the driver would of most likely of been killed! Luckily no one was hurt! The man in the car in front of us must have fallen asleep or something. Since we were the only person that witnessed the accident so we had to wait until the police came. Mum told the police what happened and everything was sweet. So we went shopping, went home, and did chores.

On Monday I went to piano and had the average day. That was the same as Tuesday but James helped mum make tea (he always helps on a Tuesday). I made tea on Wednesday (last night). It was meat loaf with fried bacon and cabbage and boiled spuds (potatoes). James also went to guitar, which he is really picking up fast!!!!!

Today we did chores, school and went to see if we could find me a cross-stitch bag. There weren’t any of the styles that mum has and that is the only style I like. Yes, fussy. But I brought a cross-stitch thread holder with the money that Dale gave me for my birthday.

I made tea tonight, Tacos. We had T.C. (dad’s friend) and Josh (T.C.’s son which is sort of friendly with). So we ate tea, I did the dishes because Dr. Who is on (which mum and I both don’t like but mum is doing her cross-stitch), made cups of tea, cocoa and hot chocolate. So I’ve just sat down to do this. I’m not going to write a big, long entry tonight (not that I do any way) because I’m going to work on mum’s website and want to read some things on the internet about Cave Bears and Woolly Rhinos.

They actually found a whole Woolly Rhino (besides its fur and hooves) in a tar pit in Starunia, Poland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the stuff about the Cave Bear’s cave in Romania is well WOW!!!!!!!!!!!  Here is the link http://www.showcaves.com/english/ro/showcaves/Ursilor.html    

So going to go

I know I haven’t blogged in a while! I’ve have got side tracked!!

Fiona died on Sunday morning. She left four kids and her husband. It has been a great loss to many though I didn’t know her very well. I’d only met her a few times.  Her funeral is today so mum is going.

Since it was Granddad’s birthday on the 25^th and Nan’s is tomorrow.  We are taking up lunch (homemade bread, quiche, and cinnamon ginger cake with caramel icing) and James and I are going to stay at their place while mum is at the funeral.

The reason why I haven’t blogged in a while is because I’ve started a new cross-stitch. It’s another sampler. It going to have the alphabet (I’ve already done), a flower ring with my name in the middle, a bee hive up the top with bees around it, flowers as the second border and then squares a the main border.

Do any of you like to do cross-stitch????

Abs    

Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while!

I’ve been rather busy!

As you probably know it was my birthday two days ago! I got a food processor with a blender and a gas torch from mum and dad, a cook book from James, $10 from Dale, $20 from Nan and Grandad and $50 from Ned (I was extremely spoil this year!!!!).

I made my birthday cake on the Sunday (the day before) but iced it on my birthday. It was a delicious, chocolate cake that is only made twice a year (my birthday and dad’s). It was a four layer cake with chocolate cream filling, cream all around the outside and top, then around the sides sliced almonds, on the top it was decorated with chocolate cream icing (frosting for you Americans) and a chocolate cream centre piece that had been rolled in flaked chocolate. YUM!!!! 

I made smoothies (in the blender) for breakfast (they were absolutely scrumptious)!!!

Some of you might have seen that mum played a birthday prank on me. She changed my blog and I was furious because she didn’t save my blog template properly.

To top it off dad had planned a surprise (which is one of my pet hates for I like to know what I’m doing). So I was made to hop in the car and mum took me down to dad’s work (along with James). So by this time I was SO annoyed (well that word doesn’t really say it but I better not say the word!). So they promised that they would never do another prank on me. Or a surprise (which I thought and still think is how it should be)!!!

In the end I found out that the surprise was that I was allowed pick out something at this really good catering shop that was up to $50. I choose nothing for I already had it all. So they took me to the Telecom (Cellphone brand) and I got some headphone thingies for my Cellphone so I can listen to the radio on it.

 So we drove home and I made Tacos for tea and then the cake for dessert. I used my food processor to grate the carrot, cheese, and the onions for the mince. But I used the slicing tool for the lettuce.

Then we played two rounds of Cluedo and then I went to bed.

The next morning Mum and Dad had found a car, a Volkswagen beetle. After dad had gone to work mum got on the phone. And organised a flight for James and dad, work out the sale with the car owners, if the people who were taking one of the kittens wanted the kitten to go on the same flight that afternoon with dad and James, if those people could take dad and James to the car owners house after they the flight, the insurance, packed dad’s bag, and get one of her friends to be able to take us to the train station. While she was doing this I made muffins and sausages for James to take, their toiletries, and help James pack his bag.

Then we got picked and taken to the train station from mum’s friend. We got on the train but we found out that cats weren’t allowed on. We were VERY lucky because the train guard liked cats so she bended the rules for us and let us go. When we were half way there another guard came on as well so we thought we were going to be in BIG trouble but that guard also like cats so we got through. Few!!!

We got off outside dad’s work and went into the airport. Dad and James got on the plane and were off. Mum and I went to Cobb&Co. for tea. I had a chicken and bacon burger with spicy wedges and mum had chicken with salad and chips. Then we went home did the chores and mum talked on the phone to Dale (she is seriously sick with cancer) while I was playing on The Sims 2.

Then we went to bed.

Not much more to tell.

Abs           

Oh I can’t wait! ONLY two days until my birthday (yeah I know, I’m a big kid!)!!!!

Last night dad brought home my birthday present (all wrapped and no were I can peek L) to make it even more unbearable! I started shaking it (it made a sound J but have idea what it is L!!)! James had got my present and it is a flattish thing like a book but it is long (maybe it is one o the GIANT chocolate bars that I seen!

Do you guys have any idea what it could be???????

If so TELL me!!!

Also to top it off dad put my present in a box so I can’t feel it properlyL L!!!!

Mum is going to have to take me shopping to get the stuff for my cake and maybe this other really srummy looking French thing that I want to make which is made out of sweet pastry (yummy it’s even nice when it is uncooked!J), cream and sugared candy-things that are shape like flowers for decoration.

I am sitting her in my P.J.s and dressing gown (it is winter over here at the moment) on the computer. I woke up at around 3 am read my extremely amazing, can’t put down book, do you want to know what it is?? Of course you do!! It is “The crossroads” By Beverly Lewis (one of my favourite authors!) the sequel to “The Postcard” By Beverly Lewis! It is really good. Well actually all of Beverly Lewis’s book are really incredible, exciting, amazing and cannot put down books!!!!!!!!!!

You should read them!!!!!

So I’ll get back to telling you what I’ve done this morning. Then I got up at 6.30 because my stomach was complaining that it was desperately hungry, made scrambled eggs on toast (the first batch started popping in the microwave (opps it wasn’t meant to be popegg (I’ve just invented somethingJ!!! But too bad it tasted absolutely DISGUSTING!) But the next batch tasted better!!!, so I ate that and I’m on the computer because nobody else is up! (I won’t get told off for being on it without doing my chores this wayJ!).

So that is what I have done so far this morning!

Abs

Today I went to the library, Kingdom Warehouse to get James’s guitar and for his free placement lesson, went to the Doctors (not for me luckily, don’t like going), I know this is very boring!

I’m going to make this more EXCITING now! On Saturday James was racing the pee wee round and round the section and boom, crash! He smacked into the house. So there is a big dent!!

Not much else to say so I am going to stop before I make you absolutely bord!

Abs

10 days until my birthday!!!!

Today I got up at 8 am (I know naught!) because I was reading “Little Women” and it got really exciting!!!

Then I got up had breakfast (fruit toast with butter, YUM!), did my chores and started school.

I did my science test today. It was about the circulation system. I got an A. YES!!!!

Oh yea, how could I of forgotten! Mum brought me a Latin study! Oh yea oh yea!! You see I’ve wanted to do Latin for a while because it will help me with my science words. Though mum wasn’t convinced that I needed it but when she was looking for English curriculum and spelling curriculum they all recommend learning Latin.  So in the end she decided that it would be good for me.

I’m so glad that the terrorists didn’t get to go through with their plan about bombing Europe and the USA! So many people would have been killed! We don’t need another World War III!!!

We took the kittens to the vets to get vaccinated today. Naughty Wallace, cheeky and Dolly really now I mean REALLY didn’t like their jab! The other four were prefect as!

For tea tonight we had a fry up. It was steak, onions, hot chips, and eggs (dad cooked and that is what he felt like).     

Signing out (I thought I should put something at the end)

Abs

P.S. What do you think about my sign out????????????

Today I did my math test and my study guide for my science “Apologia”. I don’t know how well I went because mum hasn’t marked it yet. Mum made tea tonight and we had roast lamb (home kill) and veges (super market).

I have been watching Dr. Who. My dad and my brother James think it’s awesome, I think it can be good but mainly all right and mum doesn’t like it. She says, “At all!!!”

We test-drove a Toyota Caroller today. It was a smooth ride all right!!! It had a C.D. player, tape, sunroof, SPEED, enough leg room for James and I, it was silver and had some more things but can’t remember. Oh well.

What else have I done?

Oh yea. Since it is ONLY 11 days until my birthday I’m starting to plan it. I’m only going to have a fancy dinner with my family because AI have been dying to try a few recipes.

Nothing else to tell so night!

Abs

Tonight I made tea: chicken breast crumbed for us, lemon and garlic chicken for James, Apricot kumara (like sweet potato), yams and fried potatoes and garlic.

Yum!!

Yes I know we use a lot of garlic! But it gives such an outstanding taste! It is an average thing in our shopping trolley.

I cook every Wednesday.

I watched “King Kong” directed by NZ’s very own, talented Peter Jackson! There were parts that wouldn’t be the best for not strong stomach people but the computer generration was EXCELENT! I cried and Cried and CRIED my eyes out at the end! It was SO sad!!! But it would be one of my MUST WATCH movies!!!!!

Abs

I have some terrible news!

Ellie died yesterday. It was horrible because two days ago she got all of a sudden extremely sick and didn’t respond to us. We took her to the vets and they didn’t know what was wrong with Ellie. The vet (Jo) and the vet nurse (Jenny) took her out the back and gave her some fluids. As soon as she was brought back out she was SO pleased to see us. She got better that night and was walking around in her cage (she couldn’t even stand before we took her vets). Mum feed her every two hours through the night so Ellie would get more of a chance and she was fine until 4 am. She got worse and worse. At about 8:40 am she started having huge fits. At 9 am she passed away.

Mum and I were awfully upset (dad and James went up to the swap meet) so I made chocolate chip slice (the scale wasn’t working properly so I must of not used a enough butter so I turned it into slice instead of cookies). Then we had lunch (a whole packet of won tons and heaps of rice) and watched “The Family Stone”. It was quite good.

I got back my UNSW (University of New South Wales) English exam. I got above average of NZ kids (Yes!!).

In the afternoon I saw a baby lamb born (the first and only one in the family to see it). The birthing was SO quick! I bet all women would wish it was that fast! The lamb was an all white one.

Today I made lunch because we had people coming to look at cats. Besides that I haven’t done much besides chores and my basic average day. Oh, I just remembered! We had another lamb born to day, a little black one. So in to total of lambs we have five.

Abs 

P.S. Here is a photo of when I was racing the pee wee.  

I haven’t bloged in a while! We have been having trouble with our computer.

So much has happened!

 On Monday night Aunty Robyn rang up my mum to see if we would enjoy taking in one of her lambs because the mother was sick. 

 On Tuesday Aunty Robyn brought down Eleanor, Elly for short (that’s what James decided to call her) along with the bottle-feeding supplies.

We fed Elly lunch, cleaned up her mess, gave her a cuddle or two, and set off to look at cars because mum’s car was written off in an accident, luckily no one was hurt. We had a look at a red Volkswagen (bug) but the exess was outrages! So we didn’t try it and any way it was only a four seater.  Since that one wasn’t appropriate we went to the car dealers down the road and found another bug so mum test-drove it

  Today my brother James had his tenth birthday party. Our family went up to a guy’s paddock and turned it into a track. James had his friend Todd and some of Todd’s family as well as us at the track. Todd and James both have a pee wee (mini stock car) each. James had a hard time getting his Pee Wee started but dad got it going in the end (few!).

  James and Todd had an awesome time racing each other! Then we had a picnic lunch that mum had made (it was tasty). After that the boys kept on racing and all of a sudden, out of the blue, one of Todd’s front wheel fell off. So Todd’s dad started fixing it up.

 I asked dad if I could have a go in James’s pee wee so I had a blast around. Brent (Todd’s dad) got Todd’s car fixed so I had to hop out so the boys could race again. After that I raced Todd and in James’s pee wee. Suddenly it ran out of gas. I got back on the track and kept on having a ball.

  For some reason (can’t remember) Todd drove over to Brent and stopped. I was heading strait for them! All I could think was “don’t hit them”, “don’t hit them”! I just missed by about fifteen centimetres, BOOM! I whacked into the fence!

  Dad came running over and checked out the pee wee and me. He told me that bolt for the steering had fallen out so it wasn’t my entire fault that I had lost control (but I was also going full speed). Since dad didn’t have a spare bolt on him we all packed up and journeyed off home (it was around 3:00 p.m. any way). When I had got out of the pee wee I had had mud on my nose, around my eyes, on my jeans, on my jumper and in my hair but I didn’t care a bit.

  I got home did my chores, had a tea and have just sat down to do this. I’m going to go to bed now because I’m tired and school is tomorrow. Night.

Abs.

P.S. We also found out that we had a lamb when we had got home. I’ll put some photos on tomorrow.   

Today I did a science study guide and got an A+ so I should be all right for the test. It is about the digestive system. I also did a test for math and got a B+ (I did a few silly mistakes).

We had fish n’ chips for tea because James is out at his friends party. It was a delicious batch, all crispy!

I finished The Diary of Anne Frank last night and I’m going to start The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden.

My dad’s cat Briar Rose kept on taking her venison (her dinner) into her kittens. It was a funny sight! Her taking a good sized hunk of her carcass off to the kittens.
