Kids Everywhere Need You

Yesterday in class my teacher, Mrs. Benson, said that we are going to do a project. That project is to gather things like craft supplies and party favors. The, on the 12th of February we are going to give these items to our local kids shelter. We're also going to make Valentines for them.



Thinking about this made me wonder... how many kids are there that are, well, homeless?

I asked my teacher this question and she replied that our local kids shelter doesn't have enough room right now for all the kids.



If you give to your local animal shelter or any kind of shelter, you can make a difference. Even if all you give is a Valentine's Day Card it will still make a difference.

Recipe Reading

When I wrote on Saturday, I told you that I have nothing to write about. I still don't. That's why I've decided to post recipes when I have nothing to write about.


My first recipe comes from my favorite kids cookbook, Kids In The Kitchen. Almost all of my recipes will come from this cookbook. Here's the first recipe:

Breakfast Banana Split

• 
  
  1 Banana


• 
  
  1/2 cup your favorite crunchy cereal, divided


• 
  
  1/2 cup fruit-flavored yogurt


• 
  
  1/4 cup blueberries or strawberries, sliced


• 
  
  1/4 cup pineapple chunks, drained


• 
  
  maraschino cherries (optional)

You'll need a butter knife, cereal bowl, spoon and measuring cups.

Peel the banana and cut down the middle lengthwise with a butter knife. Place banana in your cereal bowl. Sprinkle half of the cereal over the banana, but save the other half for sprinkling on top. Spoon the yougurt over the banana and cereal. Add the rest of the cereal and fruit on top. Add the cherries if you'd like.

This is a REALLY good quick, easy, weekend breakfest. If you were me, you would only use the strawberries and use strawberry yogurt. That makes it taste the best.

Oh, and Mimi, you can use bananas.

It's A Giveaway

My mom told me that I could give away something that I like. Well, I like Webkinz. This giveaway is for a brand new seasonal Love Frog. It would be a really cool Valentine's Day gift.

'The Funny Commercial' Award

First things first. I love commercials. Especially the funny ones. That's why I am giving an award to my favorite commercial.

I am guessing you want to know what it is. Here is my favorite commercial. (Click 'touch'.)

Isn't it funny!!??!! I mean, it's kinda sad, but then it's so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well... I'm going to go get a drink. I've been laughing too much and it makes me cough... oh, and here's its award:

Bad Blogging

Alright. I have a few thing to say.

I have nothing to blog about.

I have no clue why yesterday the word "American" appeared yellow.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are dumb. Yes. I watched Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? last night. They weren't.

I am still sick.

Why doesn't Webkinz come out with a dolphin? I mean, how cute would that be?!?

I wish ebay would ship things quicker. I'm waiting on a prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye.

I Am So Very Sorry

I am extremely sorry that I didn't do a post yesterday. I am very, very sick and have an "unknown" virus.


Now... let me tell you some of my symptoms:


Horrible chest cough, sore throat, glassy eyes, tired every single second and sore almost everywhere. Did I mention the sore throat? Just checking.


Q: Why do people think they sing like Carrie Underwood when they sound like a dying rat? Just curious. I mean, some people on American Idol think they sound incredibly good, and they are, but... others sound (how do I word this right?) BAD.


Oh, by the way, do like the bold, big letters?

I Have Them

Yes. I do in fact have my braces in my mouth. Now, the story...

The dentist's helper was really nice. She told me to look up at the digital scrolling thing and it said, "Welcome New Patient, Princess". But it didn't say Princess. It said my name.

She put about 80 different things in my mouth to put some conditioner stuff on my teeth. It keeps my teeth under my braces from getting nasty. Then she put my braces on and bonded them and then she put the wire through and we were done. How amazing is that? It only took about an hour.

After that she asked me if I wanted my mom to listen to the stuff that I had to do to take care of them. Well of course! I'm not going to remember all of that stuff.

She gave me a bag of all kinds of utensils and stuff for school. I love freebies.

Really, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's pretty sore, but not like I thought.

I'm excited to go to school today and show my friends. My teacher will scream (she doesn't know that I got them).
