Verja the Lost Jungle Bunny

I'm back from Argentina. Anna was not willing to let me go. She climbed in my suitcase and wouldn't get out.
When we got back around 7, I was still super wide awake, even if I only slept on the bus for three hours.
I waddled around my room unpacking while everyone else slept. Or rather, lay dead to the world. I'm hyper. I stayed in my room and wrapped gifts and I did my annual Christmas Clean-out.
I like the idea of a Christmas clean-out, because it gives you more room for your gifts later on...:)
Everyone finally woke up, around 1, so we had a late LATE LATE breakfast and watched Honeymooners.
I fell asleep during that (notice: I'd been awake ten hours straight). I went to bed and woke right back up at 7 PM. Anna slept right beside me, purring. She missed us all. I could tell.
We all watched Kung Fu Panda, which we'd bought at WAL-MART.
After it, I was still super hyper and it was Friday night, soo...
I got on the computer and chatted with Randomizer... Until about 12. Then I got off and read until I fell asleep. Took me about five hours to fall asleep. NOT kidding.
Now, on to Argentina.
I bought lots of gifts and WAL-MART was fantastic. I found lots of stuff.

ANYONE WHO DARES TO SPILL THE BEANS WILL BE FORCIBLY BLOCKED FROM READING MY BLOG. Is that UNDERSTOOD!?

Good. :D

Argentina was great. Wal-Mart was great. The bus-ride...ehm...not so much, but, WOO!

And it was nice coming home and seeing Anna Banana run up to us, purr and hug us. :)
Maybe on Monday I can go get my new glasses! YEEP!

And, I just need to gloat a little bit...

WE GOT KUNG FU PANDA!

BYE!

Ok. I have a Sunday music practice at church this morning at nine. ...


I woke up at 3. Okay? I get it from my dad! Whenever something exciting is going on, we can't sleep. At all. Which is WHY I woke up at 3 in the morning.
And yet, we can still be perky and cheerful no matter how much sleep we get, or how much sleep we lose. It's like our little super-power! I like it =). I am never usually grumpy in the morning. I greet the day with a smile. Sometimes it's an exhausted smile, but a smile nonetheless. I lay there in bed for like---an hour before I realized I wasn't gonna get back to sleep...SOOO

I chatted with Ludicrous. For a good two-maybe three hours. Then I realized:
I could do something besides chatting.
I should wash the dishes, and clean my room, and charge my cell-phone, and put my house key in my pocket. I named my cell-phone Donald. And my key is named Tracy. =)
So, anyways. It's 3 in the morning. I am cheerful, but that doesn't my brain can think straight! Give me a simple problem--eh--

Ewww! GET IT AWAY! UGLY MATH! NUMBERS! AUGH! Now they are floating....In my head...--OoOOooOh!---WHOA!....POP! Sorry...
So, it's 3. And I want to get a ton of things done...NO. It didn't work out. I just came out here and procrastinated. Which is what I am doing now when I COULD be washing dishes, or charging my cell-phone, or picking out what to wear. NO.
I need to do all these things because I know that I should have them ready, cause unless I do, I will forget it and I will be mad at myself. Cause that's how I am. Teehee.

Kitty Anna is doing wonderful! She is still asleep for now, as most of ya'll probably are. . .Yeah. But, she likes me the most. Cause she cuddles with me and she's always there when I read my Bible in the morning--or when I am telling myself I have to get math done...She is there to comfort me. And purr like there is no tomorrow! She is so cute!

I can't wait until nine
*glances at clock*
AUGH! I wish I could take a shower now, but if I take a shower I will need to blow-dry my hair so I don't look like a frizz-head. And if I blow-dry my hair at 6 AM on Saturday morning--let's just say you'll never see me again, K?
This afternoon me and a group of Marina's friends are going to hang out! YAY! WADE kids.
WADE is awesome! It stands for Want A Deeper Experience. It occupies my Friday nights. It's a teen fellowship. We have Bible-study, we play games and it's so much fun! I ♥ it!
I am actually a very very busy person! I have:
Monday-Wednesday--Nothing.
Thursday: 7:30 Teen-Meet at Brian's house.
Friday: WADE. Last night, I made cookies. It turned out to be a special night, where everyone did a special, so I gave everyone who participated a cookie. I call them chocolate chip crumblies. You want the recipe, let me knoooow!
Saturday: 9:00 Church Music Practice, 7:00 Teen-Meet at the church. Today, at 1:40 is when I go hang out with everyone at the mall! WOOT!
Sunday: I am a part of the church music now! WOOOOO! ALABANZA! YAAAAAY!
So, Yes I can be very busy. Weekdays that I don't have anything going on means: EXTRA SCHOOL WORK. Cause I go around repeating I'M BORED. I'M BORED. and then Mom comes up and says,
"Are you really? How about you do some math?"
And then I am not bored ANY MORE. =D

I really love my girls devotional! It's very good! In fact, I think I'll go ahead and do today's page...

Here is what I'm gonna try to do:
-Wash the dishes--still have the mixing bowl and spoons and cups and stuff out.
-Clean my room--the desk is---bad.
-Take care of Anna, so when she wakes up while I'm gone everything is all ready for her.
-Set out what I am going to wear.
-Charge my cell-phone, put my house key in my pocket and say tonight's teen meet verse to myself.
-Make my breakfast--omelette, maybe? Actually, I don't think I'll make food. It's raining and a bit chilly, so, I'll probably make some hot cocoa...
UNTIL I can take a shower. Because, like I said, if I used the blow-dryer this early in the morning---yeah...

So, I have to go now. Thanks for reading my rant! I was bored...Hehe.
These floors creak, so there's like NO WAY to be quiet...Tip-toeing is OUT of the question. So I usually RUN. And get it over with...Hehe
SO BAI!

Okay. The boxes are like rats. There are always more. No matter how great you feel after you've unpacked everything, and everything looks good, and everything is clean and nice and cozy, you remember you have a WHOLE CLOSET full of boxes that are just waiting to be unpacked! MORE!
I got the news today. I had all my room done (or so I thought), and Dad comes in with a gigantinormous box of stuff I don't even remember having!
It's like Christmas! So much, in fact, that I found my Santa hat that Kopatopie gave me at Christmas, and I wore it all day.
I don't know why, but I've always wanted a Santa hat to wear all Christmas day long! Thank you for making my wish come true, Kopatopie! =)
And I found my awesome pink, fluffy slippers! With the weather, I have been needing warmth for my footsies!
Here are some of the things that I have found, and am overjoyed because I found them:
-My Real Art! Paint Set. It's a paint-by-number kit that recreates beautiful, famous paintings! I get to paint the Mona Lisa! And van Gogh's flower picture! And it's just really really cool!
-My Holly-Heart books. The best books! I ♥ them!!
-My Babysitters Survival Guidebook
-My Nature Journal book
-My notebooks and pads!! I'm an avid writer, and I like to always have something that I can write on.
-My PURPLE bedsheets! The beige in the pictures clash, but this purple is SUPER pretty, and they are like a SILK material! Now I can make my bed where you pull the sheet out under the pillows and stuffed animals like I think every bed should be done! And it won't look--um--special?
-My jewelry chest! My gorgeous wood one! With the pretty little doors and glass carving! And I already set to work and all my jewelry is in it, all nice and organized!
-My Devotional Notebook where I put the date and it has a place for prayer requests and favorite verse notes and I just love it. And, it really has helped me. And, I was a dumb blonde (xD) and packed it on the container cause it looks like a BOOK that I read once and never want to read again. But, I packed it away. And then I missed it. =(
-My iPod. My pretty pink one. It's a shuffle, and it's so cute! Her name is Pinkie. Yeah, I know. I'm really creative...But, hey, it's pink!! Pink=Pinkie!
-My iDog! She is so pretty, and she plays pretty little light patterns on her head when I play the songs. My favorite is when she plays Irish Hymns. I love that CD!
-Notes and cards. I keep all of them. I shouldn't, but I do. I'm an emotional pack-rat.
-Stationary!!! I can write pretty letters...When I need to...But, it looks nice on my desk. =)

And now, I have to get back to my work...And, I know that I'll have more tomorrow! BYE!
And, please pray for me...I have more to pack!! I hope I can handle it...
AND! AND AND!
