*Cough, Cough* I am as sick as a dog! I have been ill since Wednesday morning! I stayed home sick on Wednesday, went to school late Thursday, stayed home Friday, at home all Saturday, and confined to the bed today! I had a sore throat, then an even sorer one, then I have a blocked nose! I am at the moment in my room, doing homework, reading, writing, and coughing nonstop! I had to miss my sister’s dance watch-week because I was so sick! Plus I never get sick, hardly ever! Well maybe the germs have taken residence in an aboned town!

  OoC.// sorry about like NEVER writing!

 Halloween is coming! I cannot wait! This year I am going as a cute hippy, with the big peace necklace, tattoos (fake obviously) and the head-band! Last year I was a dark- queen. My little sister is Sleeping Beauty, and last year she was the fairy, Elina. I am really excited. My family and I are going with our friends who have a CUTE toddler who is being a ladybug. The puffy belly and even antennas! So adorable! I am still contemplating about wearing my costume to school, I dont know because it is light pink, and could get very dirty. So I might just wear a tye-dye shirt with jeans, and the fake ear rings and necklace. But i am so excited for this Halloween!

   Last weekend my family and I went to our local Horticultural Center. It was fun and we all had a good time. I packed in Craisins (delish!) and some granola bars. I rode my bike, but it was way to small for me! I had really bad back cramps because I was bending really low. My fingers got a totally weird skin-tighten feeling and we decided to put the bikes away.

Then my sister rode her scooter for a bit and fell down a couple times. But she just got back up and continued rolling away. Talk about rolling with the punches! Then we went through this beautiful garden! It had a tower you could climb up and a giant red rocking chair you could actually get on! It also had giant (fake) birds nests you could climb into, a sand pit with palm trees, and even water pumps that when you push up and down, they squirt water on the other side of the garden! But they didnt work, but I think they put them off because it is gettig cold!

  Then we saw these giant statues of Demeter and her 2 spring gods. They were beautiful. But we didnt get much time to look at them because my sister wanted to go to the water fountain. I was pretty, I have to admitt. Gorgeous! And when we loaded up to go home, I hoped we could do it again!

 I have just started a new year in school. I have made a few new friends, tightened bonds with my old ones, and I am starting to see a whole new perspective of school. For starters, this year is a whole lot different than last year becuse of the homework train is making an extreme amount of stops at BigWorldSmallFeet! Please do not stop reading, even if I don’t post for a day or week!!

 I love mt teachers! My Language and Literature teacher is extremely strict, but fair and loves to have an occasional laugh, as long as we get the work done. On Friday, when we had read a book called My Great-Aunt Arizona (which by the way, I am gonna do a review on) and got the work done, she started to play the song “Dont Stop Believing” by Journey. A boy in my class started dancing and I thought, we have to be the funniest homeroom ever!

  My Social Studies ans Science teacher is totally crazy. In a good way, of course! I absolutly love her! She allways does things wrong, on purpose and is absolutely fair. Strictness is all that she is if you are misbehaving. She is extremely funny and is organized.

 My math teacher is awesome. He is strict, like all my other teachers and sometimes our class team is called the strict team. I love him because he allways has a good laugh. He is totally obsessed with math, as a teacher of that subject should be. I really am starting to like math. I used to think of it as my worst subject, but that has changed.  I think I am going to enjoy math.

 Hope to have a happy year and wish to all others!

   A charming book written by an excellent author, Jennifer L. Holm. It was intense but smooth through-out the book and I loved it! I have never been a fan of realistic fiction, but this book just made me want to keep reading more! This enchanting story that is set in 1953 inside an Italian family living in America. It is about a delightful and rumbuntious 11 year old girl who wants what every kid wants in the summer; butter-pecan ice cream, swimming, and base-ball. But this summer is full of unpleasant surprises. For starters, her uncle who plays base-ball with her is living in a car. She can’t go swimming because her mother is afraid she will catch polio at the pool. This is turning out really bad, huh? There are some really heart-warmingmoments in this book though. I loved this book and I am sure you will to!

   Can we all take a moment to consider this very special day…. MY SISTER’S B-DAY!!!!! She won’t admit it but she was spoilt!!!!!! With a total of a million presents, she was extremely happy and satisfied at the end of the day. Let me explain from the beginning of last night.

   Well, my mom and I raced down to I-Party at 8:39pm to find out they close at 9:00pm! OMG! We raced through that store like monsters, grabbing a pinata, party tooters, any gift bag we can find and then still having to buy candy! After, that we went to our local Stop&Shop and bought 2 singing cards, and a ton of other cards, a bunch of pink and white flowers, and finally the final addition….. the absolutely, fabulous, awesome, and many other words like ANNOYING!!!!! singing Disney Princess balloon! It sings this Happy Birthday song but, I think it is CInderella, it sings it in this catchy over-reactive joyful tune whenever you tap it. Well, this was a nightmare I mean, a beautiful gift! In a couple of weeks, we will regret this! After finally fitting it all in the trunk, we arrived back home and I got out the presents. It was quite a long list! A Jasmine doll, a Giselle doll, a magnetic dress up kit, and we can go on for a while! My mom, my dad (who was mainly blogging the whole time!), and I wrote all the cards, wrapped the gifts, and had a good joke. This kid had ALOT, I repeat ALOT, of birthday presents! Finally, after getting the whole shei-bang done, I went up stairs and got into bed and nodded off.

   The next morning I woke to a singing card playing in my ear, and Lili, my sister, laughing her head off. (She perticually likes the Hallmark Hoops&Yoyo cards). Well, here it goes, my whole day, devoted to bowing, to her ohhhh roy-yal highness, doing her every word (and believe me, she has ALOT of words to say!!!!) but it was all for my little sister, I mean she did kinda deserve it.

   We all went downstairs and saw the VERY large pile of gifts! You should-a seen that look on her face! It’s whole mouth fell through the floor and down to the basement!!!! After opening all her gifts, she decided to take a look at that balloon, which our VERY annoying cats had a LONG play with!!!! and oh, man did she like it. We are gonna start regretting!

   At swimming lessons, my class worked on diving and my sisters sang happy birthday and Lili splashed like it was the last day of summer, which the weather makes it feel like that! Then we went home and Lili and me played on our brand new game console with our brand new game…. RATATOUILLE! After many tries, my Dad helped us get passed a REALLY HARD LEVEL!

  Then I HAD to go to film camp, because this was our last day and I was in almost all the scenes that we were filming today. After camp I went to the roy-yal highness’s party, which was like all stylish people have, Disney Princess. Luckily she finallly settled on that theme, because before she said unicorn theme, then ballet theme, then Dora the Explorer theme and so on so forth. I got some delish cake and we all had a ball! I was so impressed with this birthday, even if it isn’t mine! Of course, the little kids put the party tooters in their noses and blowed balls of resedue into the tubes to try and toot them. Hahahahaha!

  After cake we all went outside and played some games. The birthday girl chose all the games because, as she stated, she is in charge! We played Duck Duck Goose, Mother May-I, Hide-and-Seek, and the best part, with ribbons! My dad even got up and started playing with them! It was laughs all around! Finally we all had to go home, and Lili and I played non-stop and we had sausages, mash, butter-nut squash, and peas for dinner (as her roy-yal highness requested) and for dessert this slush swirl! Delish!!!!

   Tonight I sit and think, this was a great family day!!!!!

Dear Dairy of Anne Bekker,

  I have decided that it is time to lose some of my 300 pounds. I mean I can hardly go anywhere with this flubber being pulled along. So, I am going to lose weight the old-fashioned way; excersize, healthy food, and NO MORE HAMBURGERS or any other fast food! (*sob*sob* yes, I know the consicence). I am having my finale hamburger today at lunchtime. I am going with my sister to T.G.I Fridays and we are gonna lose weight together! Well wish me luck!

  From your soon to be slimmer,

Anne Bekker

  Dear Dairy….

  It was 4th of July today, the day started of great! I woke up to the sound of horns hooting… the parade! I got dressed and ran out the house to see the remaining of the Independence Day Parade. Unfortunately, it HAD to start raining as I ran down the street. Then as a squeezed my way through the crowd of festive shouts and cheers, finally when I got to the front of the crowd, I saw it! The finale parade float! This year it was a impersonator of Thomas Jefferson holding a piece of parchment, last year it was Paul Revere shouting that “The British are coming! The British are coming!“.

  As the red-and-blue fireworks started to explode, I remembered, I was hosting my streets annual Independence Day Party! My friend was gonna come round in about 2 hours because she was working the fireworks.I haven’t even got the fireworks! So I hurried down  to the store and showed my I.D. and purchased some big-booming fireworks. Then I stopped by the local grocery shop and picked up some BBQ hamburger and hot-dog buns, patties, sausages, and the other essentials for a good barbecue. I quickly went through the Dunkin’ Donuts and ordered 100 donuts to be delivered after dinner, seeing as there were about 25 families coming over. Finally I got home in time to get into some nice casual clothes when my friend rung the doorbell.

  I greeted my friend in and we set up everything, which took about an hour. After all our guests arrived at my house, we got started on the grilling. Luckily, my yard is really big! Then the Dunkin Delivery and absolutly EVERYONE got at least one flavor they liked. I was happy, all was going well. It was finally time for what everyone was waiting for…. FIREWORKS!!!!! When we blew off the first one, the crowd went wild!

  After a few more fireworks went off, one went totally wrong! It went sideways and hit my neighbours house! Everyone started screaming as his house lit up! I ran inside and called the local firefighters and they came racing down the street and squirted water everywhere. My neighbour was MAD! They vowed that I should never host another 4th of July party, or if I do, DO NOT LET MY FRIEND BE THE FIRE-WORKER! Luckily the off-course firework only burnt the roof, which as my panicky neighbour is, were fire-proof. So no-one and nothing was hurt or burnt. Well, the morale of the story is…. DO NOT LET YOUR CRAZY FRIEND HANDLE THE FIREWORKS!!!!
