Miracle day?

the snowman my brother and i made out in the front yard. it's pretty small, about two feet high..
uh...the view out my window
the narnia light post (also in front of my house) that somehow ended up sideways
the narnia light this morning

It seems like it. First of all, as you can probably see, it's snowing. We live in Texas. That's pretty much a miracle in itself. Then you add the fact that it stuck, and has continued snowing all day, and it becomes super miraculous. I'll add the pictures now, then tell you about my day...which was pretty amazing, by the way. also, i'm kinda lazy, so there's not much capitalization, and there are probably more than a few errors.

BEFORE SCHOOL:

When I woke up, it was because my mom was calling me. I thought she had jason with her, though, and they told me to look out the window. so a few minutes later, when he actually did wake up, i didn't tell him about the snow. he looked out the window, and...

j: wow, kristin, come look at this.

me: what? you already saw it. you told me to look at it.

j: what? i just got up.

me: what? didn't you and mommy wake me up?

j: no.

me: oh.

So i'm not sure if it was some kind of weird dream or not.

I had to be careful not to slip while walking down the sidewalk to the bus...

ALGEBRA:

the first part was really really boring and annoying, but at the end, we convinced our teacher to take us outside. it was great. She had a snowball fight with us, and hit this one kid in the face. then the security guard joined us, and these guys across the parking lot, from some other class, threw snowballs at us.

WORLD HISTORY:

i fell asleep watching this stupid movie that my teacher said was a great, interesting movie that shouldn't put you to sleep.

LUNCH:

I did my vocab for english...

CHEMISTRY:

we didn't really do much. our teacher let us out early to go play in the snow.

ENGLISH:

my teacher had a virtual fireplace dvd. but she wouldn't let us go outside. We got to leave 10 minutes early.

HOME:

jason and I made the snowman, and pretend snow angels (since we didn't really want to lay down, and we didn't know how to make them anyway).

theme of the day: SNOW MAKES PEOPLE IMMATURE.

I swear, i pretty much had to dodge snowballs all day. and this is high school, remember? but it's really just because none of us remember a time when it actually snowed like this. and it's sticking, and pretty deep too..

So...

TODAY IS JASON'S BIRTHDAY!

He's turning 13... yes, i know i just had my birthday. we're only 8 days (and 3 years) apart.

I guess that ends this super long post.

Kris.

NARNIA REFERENCE DAY!

Luke, I watched the Super Bowl for you

Sort of, anyway.

So, I'm starting driver's ed next week...6-8 every night for two weeks. I am so lucky it's only two weeks, but those weeks are going to be full of long long nights.

Homework sucks. homework + track sucks. homework + track + driver's ed sucks.

Basically, homework just makes everything worse. D:

That's my new favorite smiley by the way. As negative as it is, it's so cute!

Kris.

On the upside, I have $45 worth of Barnes and Noble gift cards.

Best Super Bowl commercials

Edit:

Here too.

And especially this one.

LAYOUT UPDATE!!!!!

Okay, so Blogger became awesome and made pages. Basically, we can make separate pages on the blog now, instead of just the one page with the blog stuff on it. For now, all we have is the Home Page, which is what you're used to seeing, Rianna's about me page, and mine. They're under the blog title and stuff. Also, they're at the bottom of the sidebar. We got rid of the song (which we basically got rid of a long time ago), the about us section (duh), and I think that's all. You can still use the cbox to contact us. Also, if you have any ideas for what other pages we should make, please let us know, because we're clueless.

Kris. (and Rian!)

Oh. No wonder!!

No wonder there can be so many major fast food restaurants in a small area, and none of them go out of business!! They're all a part of the Mafia!!

coach: hey, kristin! did you hear the announcement about practice yesterday?

me: no.

coach: oh. so i guess you knew practice was cancelled when the bus wasn't there.

me: the bus was there.

coach: oh. so coach told you to go home, then?

me: no. she wasn't there. Rianna and I had to run to go catch our bus.

coach: oh. well, the principal forgot to make the announcement.

me, internally: how could i have heard it, then?

me: okay....

coach: if i decide not to have practice today, he promised to remember to make the announcement.

me: great.

We didn't have practice.

today was pretty awesome.

And not just because it was my birthday. Thought that was part of it. I woke up kinda early this morning, so I got to take my time getting ready and opening my present from Jason (a card and a book-The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod). Even so, I didn't get to finish my waffles. :( Luckily, today was early lunch day.

So, when I got to school, Rianna gave the first part of my present, an amazing smiley face spatula, and a card. The card was awesome and hilarious. I swear, I just started laughing randomly during class because of it. The spatula has a bow on it. It's green. (random)

I had a test in math, which was most definitely not fun. Luckily, though, we didn't get too much homework because of it.

Then was history. Another test. This one was much easier, and shorter. Not in problem number, but in time. Then, because we have announcements in second period, and they announce birthdays, my history teacher said we had to sing me happy birthday. Even though she didn't hear my name on the announcements, and someone had to tell her. So they sang, we watched a video on King Henry the eighth, took the test, and did some more work. Yay.

After that, I had lunch, which was just...lunch.

Then, in Chemistry (there were only eight people in there today) they insisted on singing again. My teacher told me that he gave someone else his last cupcake (which someone apparently gave him) and he was sorry. Then he told me that he would give me a beaker I could break. He thinks I'm really clutzy. All because I broke a beaker and knocked over a chair during the same period. And while I was sweeping up the glass, I dropped it again and it shattered into smaller pieces. Anyway, he never gave me the beaker. We just took notes and did some practice problems. That's all we ever do.

In English, I thought they were going to forgo the singing, because about three of the people in my chemistry class were in there, but apparently they just love to sing (off tune). When they finished, my teacher gave me a green paper ribbon with a jolly rancher taped to it and said, "Well, isn't that just lovely?" about their singing. Then we read vocab and wrote an essay.

The next part made me really happy.

I went into the locker room to get my track stuff (then head to the bus) and was extremely glad to see that the toilet water had been cleaned up from the previous day. It was really gross. (this isn't the part that made me REALLY happy.)

I got on the bus, and only Rianna, and a few of our other friends were on there. One of the managers was wondering if we were supposed to have practice or not, so she called someone. Apparently, the coaches just expected us to know that we didn't have practice, because they did not make an announcement. So Rianna and I jumped off the bus and RAN (with our giant backpacks) to catch our buses, which were, quite literally, getting ready to leave. We barely made it.

And in case you missed it, the part that made me really happy was the fact that we didn't have track practice. I'm sure the coaches cancelled it just for me. Kidding.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy. Not to mention the fact that my parents bought me Reese's, the best candy of all time. -sigh-

I'll try not to eat them all at one time.

Kris.

If you just read the bolded words, that's basically how I saw my whole day. The best parts... As you can tell, the Reese's part was pretty great. I mean, I'm exaggerating, but not by much. :D

You know, this is the longest post I've written in a while. Just thought I'd point that out.
