Sorry I haven't written in so long. I've been a little under the weather. Runny nose, cough, and tired. Thats all though. Nothing is really new. Piano lessons went well. I went sledding after it but I hurt my hand. Tuesday was the Bible Study but the thing is, we only had my mom's friend over. So there was one person who came. It was fun though. Tonight it youth group. Sadly everything is on the mellow now. My blog needs some action or interesting things on it. Oh! I know, but its not really action packed (at all), but I've been cat-sitting for a while. I go to the people's house and I feed their cat and clean the littler boxes. The cat's name is Kyra (Keera). She is so cute and pretty! She sometimes says "hi" to be. She would meow a lot and come near me. I would try to pet her and she would let me for just a minute. But then she changes sides and hisses and tries to scratch me. She doesn't like me much. Well I'm having french toast for dinner and I need to go and eat it! HAVE A NICE WEEK! <3 God bless! <3 Also, I've noticed that no one is looking at my blogs much at all. Please do get word out so I can brighten up peoples lives.

Hello all! I've been a little busy lately. Yesterday was school school school and then youth group. Youth group was fun. Someone people couldn't go because of the storm but thats ok. Sadly it wasn't as much fun with out them. Today was school and stuff. Not much. Oh! But the coolest thing happened yesterday! I got "Wreck This Journal" in the mail! It is sooooooo much fun! It is already pretty wrecked right now. I need to go outside and do some painting with it! :P There is this one page that I read about in the reviews. It is a page that says to burn it. But I can't find it in there. Maybe they author had to get rid of it because it is a big hazard to burn the whole book! Or maybe it was just a lie or something. Not sure. I also made banana pudding today. Well, lets just say I helped... a little. But I can't wait to have some tonight! Tomorrow I have co-op. Big whoop! Not really. It is really boring, and cold... REALLY REALLY COOOOOLLLD! Hopefully it will be warmer. Yeah right! It is going to be like 13 degrees all day tomorrow! AND ALL WEEKEND! Ugh.... maybe U should wear my snow suit all day. How do the Alaskan's do it? Well, I have to go wreck my journal some more! LUUUUUUUUVVVVVVZZZ! <3

Yesterday I made these REALLY good no-bake reeses. They taste AMAZING! I've been eating them all day long! <3

Today was a fair day. I finished school at a good time! YAY! I also today got my hair trimmed. It doesn't look too much different because I only got the edges trimmed. :D It snowed a lot today too. So I had to snow shovel a little bit of the driveway. It was all powdery snow so it was quite a bit easy. But the snow banks were quite high at my house so I thought that I should make a snow fort. Well it turned out to be a snow tunnel with 3 ways to get in and out. It looks REALLY cool. Although it practically killed me. I got to get good exercise though! The storm my stay till tomorrow which means that we might not have youth group tomorrow. :( Which I really hope we do. I mean, I'm enjoying the snow and all but I can't help be be really excited for summer. I think I will actually enjoy the hot. I also would have no school, be able to swim, and even hang with friends more! Well, the snow is not helping my health too much though. Theres another downer. Right when I went outside I kept on coughing like CRAZY! I would go *cough cough hack cough* constantly! I still am. I really wish it would go away. Then there is the runny nose! It annoys me sooooo much! Also, the dried skin from the dry heat that is coming from our radiators. So, I'm not liking the snow too much this year. I mean it IS beautiful and I get to keep a good use to my totally cool and warm bath robe. Which is leopard print. Usually no one has REAL cheetah print for much. BIG FROWN! But anyways, today has kinda been crazy. Cause my siblings are acting crazy which makes everyone else try to get them to be good and calm down which is quite difficult. QUITE DIFFICULT! Well, I have to go and try to calm down myself so my coughing can go away! My mom says that if I keep coughing like this that I will not be able to go to youth group tomorrow if there is. BIG FROWN again. Well, signing off! <3 BROOKE

My mind is almost clear today. I started a diary today also. I thought that since I can keep a blog that I will be able to keep a diary. So I put all my problems, dilamas, and concerns into it. Well, its most of the stuff I wouldn't want people to read on my blog. But my mind feels much better now that I told someone. I also did end up ordering "Wreck This Journal". It should come in tomorrow or the next day. At the lasted the end of the week. I can HARDLY wait. I read some of the reviews on it and you do some pretty weird stuff with it. I also, go to sit and relax today which also helps my mind be clear. I did a little bit of school work because it is MKJ Day and the rest of the family is moderately sick. My mom, Preston, Brielle. Hopefully me, Bailey, and my Dad won't get sick. I also practiced my piano which I HAD to do because I forgot to do so during the weekend. So, I feel pretty good. Now, I am going to beg my mom to let me do some cooking from this really cool website. ourbestbites.com The lady that runs this has the BEST recipes for almost ANYTHING! So I am going to ask my mom if I can make something from there. If I can I will post a picture when I am done. If I can't I will sit down and read for a while. Or... I might just watch some Monk. Hmmmm.... decisions, decisions. :D Luuuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvzzz Brooke!

I couldn't go to church today because there is a stomach bug going around the house this weekend. Brielle and my mom aren't feeling too well. I feel quite fatigued and I'm coughing but that is it. Mom wouldn't let me go by myself today because she says I might be somehow carrying the bug but I don't think so. Today I have to do a few chores and babysit later on today. Although I don't feel like it. It will be fun though. Plus I do really need the money right now. I completely out. But right now the one thing that is on my mind is this book that I heard from another blog. http://autumnlemay.blogspot.com/ This book called "Wreck This Journal". I asked my parents to get one for me. The cheapest you can get one is at Walmart. It sounds like soooooooo much fun so I'm trying to be patient and wait for my dad to order it soon. I've been so bored lately and I need something to do. I thought that this journal would help. I've heard that you take fruit stickers and put them on it, and paint coffee in it, and drag it across the street, take it in the shower, and even stand on it, AND MORE!!! That sounds like a great book for me. I will let everyone know if and when I get it and tell you how much fun it is! I have to go do some chores now so BYYYYYYEEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!

Today has been a good day. I went to co-op and it was boring but not bad. PE was ok. We watched people work out. WEIRD! But next week will do an actually workout next week. I did some cleaning when I got home and then I got to have one of my bestest friends sleepover! EMILY! We are going to have pizza for dinner tonight, YUM! Another thing happened today, well more like 2, my mom hurt her back and my dad hurt his knee. So this household is going to be completely different till everyone heals. Hopefully everything is all better tomorrow. Tomorrow Emily, my mom, and I might go to the mall. Fun fun fun! <3 I really need a job though so I can get SOME income going so I can be able to pay for things myself. I do, do ( lol dodo) some things around the neighborhood like rake leaves, snow shovel (eventually when I get the arm strength for it), and cat sit which is what I will be doing next week. But all together that is not much! I do, do (lol dodo again!) babysitting at my neighbors but I don't really babysit for anyone else because I don't know too many families THAT well. Like I said, not too much income. Does anyone have any ideas? Post a comment! I can't think of anything else to write about but Emily says I should write about my face. What am I going to write about my face? Ya, I think I might skip that one! lol Sorry about that Emily. Well, time to stop unsocializing with my friend and do SOMETHING! Also, if you have any funny ideas about what to do post a comment about it. Luuuuuuuvvvvzzz Brooke.

Photography

I love to do photography. Here are some of my pictures that I have my name on them. These are NOT photo edited. These are also NOT taken with a photography camera as well. Enjoy! More will be here soon. Just not now.

I have been inspired by my friend Moriah (moriahscorner.blogspot.com) to make business cards for my blog. There is a picture of them to the right. --------------------------------------------->
They are green. JUST LIKE MY BLOG! lol  Today I did school and went shopping. Well, kinda. I went and picked up pictures at rite aid and went and bought 2 little figures from a store not far from here. I collect this certain brand of cats figures and I just got my first bunny today! He looks just like Prince! I've posted yet another picture. It is my entire collection! Well, for now. I want to collect all the cats and all the bunnies! My mom and I are always home bound so there was only one way I could possibly get to the stores. I walked. I couldn't ride my bike because my dad has the bikes hanging upside down in our garage. So I can't get it. Also, there is too much snow to ride it anyways. And MAN are those snow piles HUUUUUGE!!!! All I can say was that my back was KILLING me when I was on my way home. Its a good thing that I didn't go for a jog today. Phew! Tomorrow I have co-op. I also am having my best friend Emily sleep over tomorrow night. Its going to be a LOT of fun! Well I have to practice my piano! Luuuuuuvz! <3

1-12-11 Part 2

I made these brownies today. They are cream cheese brownies! I made the design on them. They taste pretty good! I also went out in the foot and a half snow. It was fun and tiring! After that I had hot chocolate! Have a nice day! <3

I am so proud of myself for actually keeping my blog updated!

So today there is this huge Noreaster here in Maine. It has been snowing like CRAZY since 5:30-ish AM this morning. We already have a foot of snow! School has been canceled here but as for me, seeing that I'm homeschooled, I have to do school work. It 12:50 and I have already finished it! YAY! Well, most of it. When my little sister goes to bed I will be making cream cheese brownies! Mmmm. I can't wait. But all I can think about is how much snow we are getting!!! Here are some pictures of the snow. Here on the right. I'm still trying to get the hang of posting so hang in with me here. I have no idea how my dad is going to get home. Maybe when he gets home we will be up to 2 FEET of snow!!! I don't know where he is going to park his car or even get in! Oh well. There is already too much snow for me to shovel because I am pretty weak in the arms if I do say so myself. Hey, don't judge me. I have eye witnesses that can prove how weak I am in the arms. But I'm not being down on myself. I'm positive that I will get some strength eventually when I do tennis in the Spring. Which I am EXTREMELY excited for. Anyways the sad thing is, is that I can't go to youth group tonight. Actually, no one can. At all. Well, I have to go but I will post again later. Tell your friends about me! GOD BLESS!!! Also, thank you all for your comments. I will have to find out how to reply to them. BYEZ!

My all time favorite commercial.

I lift things up and put them down.

Today is all ones! Just thought I would get that out of the way first. Well, also... I never got to make pudding. My mom wanted me to save it for making cookies. Thats a long story... tell you about it later. I ended up making jello. Its not as good as pudding though. I did get to go sledding on Saturday. It was a lot of fun! I have bruises on my shins but thats ok. After sledding for like 2 HOURS we went to my friend Emily's house to eat pizza. It was fun! lol Then on Sunday my family went to church. The BEST CHURCH EVER as I call it. Later that day my mom and I got to go shopping. I got these cool neon green skinny jeans and cool matching-ish legwarmers. I love shopping with my mom! When I got home I had to get to work. I had to clean my rabbit's cage. Yes I do have a rabbit. More like half dog then rabbit. He is not a typical rabbit. He is not even scared of anything. He will just kick his feet back and lay there while my siblings scream in his face! He is also littler trained, a picky eater, and is picky about his home. He has a 3 story bunny condo. That my dad built. He loves it! He has to have just the right amount of space. Which is his cage. Anyways, that takes a while to clean. Then I had to clean my bathroom and get my room ready for the week. Then on Monday I had my first piano lessons in like I don't know... 5 maybe 6 or something years. It was nice. I have piano lessons every other Monday. I got free piano lessons for Christmas from the BEST GRANDMOTHER EVER!!! I call her Mema! Thank you Mema thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! I looooooove you! <3 It was fun. But before that my mom had a meeting with the school at our house about my brother. Ya... thats a REALLY long story. I'm NOT going to go through that right now. Sorry. ANYWAAAYYS, I had to watch Brielle up in the playroom, I call it gameroom, and it was fun! We played many games. Then I went to piano, then I went to the library with a couple friends of mine. Okay well I go to co-op with them and they are younger than me but what am I supposed to call them? Now today I have the Bible Study. We usually have this every week on Tuesdays. Or... is it every other? I don't remember but ya. All the Moms come and bring their kids to my house. There is a leader and all the youth group call her Mama Shell. Thats a long story too. But she leads the group. So, who watches most of the kids when the Moms are having their lessons? I AM!!! I bring them all up to the gameroom so they can play while the Moms are busy. It is actually quite fun. They haven't come is a couple months so I'm excited. They get to play with the really cool kitchen and toys that Brielle and Preston got for Christmas. I can't wait to watch them. So I have to go cause everyone is going to be here soon. Also, enjoy the little picture of Prince's cage. Prince is my bunny's name.

Sorry for the name of my last post. I'm still use to saying 2010. lol

Have you every had a strong erg to do something? But you don't know what it is. That is what I feel. I was going to go sledding with a couple of friends today but the didn't end up happening. Apparently we are going tomorrow. But Mom says there is a storm coming here in Maine. No one knows what the weather is going to be like so who knows if we are getting a lot of snow or a little. I hope a lot but not to the point where we loose power. In my house no one wants to loose power. Cause then own basement floods! Then my dad is dealing with it constantly and my cats can't use the bathroom or eat their food. The basement is the best place for our fat cat's giant litter box that smells to high heaven. But anyways... I had homeschool group today. We all call it  co-op. They spell it coop but it does look right. It was the first day of the second trimester. I had life skills, which we learned about budgeting, then physical science, which I get very enthusiastic over seeing I'm ahead of the class, and PE, which wasn't the best. Then I hung out with friends for half an hour and then read my "Diary of a Teenage Girl" book. They are the BEST BOOKS EVER!!! They are by Melody Carlson. I'm reading the Caitlyn series and I'm on book number 2. There is 5 in all. I have already read the all the Chloe books. There are 4 of them. Then the next series when I finish Caitlyn would be Kim. It actually goes Caitlyn, Chloe, then Kim. But it still works. lol I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. Who doesn't love sleeping in? Who doesn't love the weekends? Now I'm going to make some pudding cause I feel like it! Who doesn't love pudding? I know someone who does! And her name is Emily. O.o

Hello again. Having a good week? Mine has been fine. I started school on Monday. It was a short day as well as Tuesday. But... my grandparents went back home then. It was sad! :'( Wednesday I had my AMAZING youth group. I don't use the word awesome because I think that seeing that this would was made to express how wonderful God is. That is why I don't use it unless I'm talking about or to God. Anyways, I got to do a skit before class yesterday. My grandmother (who I call Mema) brought it up from Florida because she was going to do it for her church too. My friend Emily and I did it. We made the whole youth group laugh! I'll have to post the skit up later. The lesson we had in youth group was about fasting. It made you really think about it you know? Well, today was so far just school work. Lots of school work. :( I even had to watch my siblings which is never fun for me. I have a 2 year old energizer bunny sister named Brielle. A 10 year old brother that is mentally retarded. Now I'm not being mean. He has a mental condition and other stuff. He is KINDA autistic but not really. He also acts like any other typical ANNOYING brother. He also can't talk very well. He knows a little bit of sign language but he also has his own made up signs. He can say some words like mom, dad, apple, water, I do, ect... He even has a little talker thing. Then I have another sibling. She is 12 years old and her name is Bailey. She is disabled also. But like... TOTALLY!!! She has litereally no brain matter. I know what your thinking... How in the world is she alive?!?!?! Did you know that your brain stem controls your heart beats and breathing? YEAH IT DOES!!! Thats how you live.  She is legally blind. She can only see light and dark. Like when you close your eyes you can tell when the lights go on and off. She can't move. She sits on he couch all day. She has a special wheel chair. The only thing she enjoys in life is her jacuzzi tub. She eats from a feeding tube. She has occasional or maybe more than occasional seizures. We don't know why she has them but we don't need to rush her to the ER or something like that. She has it... we fix her position... its all over. Its hard to explain. Its easier if you see her in person. Anyways, I haven't told you much about Brielle. Shes 2. I've already said that haven't I? Well, she is a little stink most of the time. She has this attitude. She has a friend named Savannah. She is 2 and a half ish. Brielle would not stop hitting her for no reason. Then if you tell not to do something she will fold her arms and talk back. We honestly don't know what she is saying but if she used really words then she might be saying bad words. She also has this energy that we have no idea where she gets it from. She also doesn't even look like the rest of the family. Everyone have hazel eyes. Execpt for Preston and Brielle. Preston has brown eyes and Brielle has blue eyes. No idea where they cam from. Everyone has brown hair and Brielle has strawberry blonde-ish. WEIRD!!! So yeah... Oh my read my last post and had to correct me. I did do a lot on Christmas break. I went to the movies, hung out with friends a lot, and went shopping a few times. Your welcome mom! So thats all I have today. Have any questions let me know! BYEZ BYEZ!!! <3

Who had a good Christmas and New Year? I know that this Christmas was one of the best! I got lots of things I needed and some cool stuff that I love! As you might be able to tell I LOVE cheetahs and leopard. I got leopard bed sheets, robe, slippers, purse, ect. There is not much cheetah print things out there so thats why there is all leopard print. I got lots of girl things too. I use to be a tom boy. When I was little I wanted to be a marine like my Uncle Mike. I would run around outside in my fun army suit that I had and act like I was in the army shooting people. I had all these kool guns and stuff. Anyways, I got lots of mani-and pedi-cure stuff for Christmas too. I have TONS of nail polish and hair asseceries. Now that I'm 14 instead of being a tom boy I am not a ful flegged teen. =D I also got lots of kool gagets for Christmas too. Also forgive me of my spelling. Did you know that if you can spell then you aren't good at math and when your good at math then you can't spell? Well thats usually the case. I'm not good at spelling but I am pretty good at all that math stuff. Now for New Years. I usually stay up and watch the ball drop. But this year I failed to do so. I didn't feel so good that night. I was all stuffed up and tired. So I didn't stay up. All New Years Eve I sat on the couch and watched my favorite show. Monk. Yes, I know what your thinking... Hasn't that show stopped? Well yes it has. I don't have cable. I have Netflix though and they have all 8 seasons of it. I'm at the beginning of season 7. Sadly I am almost done. I LOVE that show. Now also The Office is ending too. What am I suppost to watch when its all done and over with? If you have any other good shows that I can watch on Netflix let me know! Just post a comment if you please. Anyways again, New Years Day I didn't really do anything either. As a matter a fact I didn't do much at all this Christmas break. I had my grandparents over though. I never get to see them. Maybe twice a year. You see I live in Maine and they live in Florida. And in this economy its hard to do so. Today I start back up for school. I had an easy day today my mom didn't give me so much school work because my grandparents are still here. They are leaving for home tomorrow. :'( Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't tell you I'm homeschooled. Sorry. Well, yeah I'm soooo happy that I had an easy day. It helps to start easy then go back to normal. Well sorry for so much text! I've gotta inform you on my life somehow! lol Ttyl! BYEZ!!! <3
