So sorry, anyone on the planet who even bothers to give our blog a passing glance since we've neglected it for like 3 months.
So.
We're not dead, kidnapped, silenced, in hiding or anything like that.
But what is there to talk about?
Trump and Clinton are still nipping at each other like rabid chihuahuas.
Not going to delve too much deeper into that. This isn't a boring political blog.
Uuuuuumm.
Did you know Nov. 25 is National Parfait Day? I mean, I hate yogurt, which is in parfaits right? so I won't be celebrating that holiday. But it's a good thing to put on your calendar.
OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Also on Nov. 25, the new Gilmore Girls thingy comes out!!!! So excited. What has Rory been doing with her life? and Lorelei? The little scamp. What trouble is she diving into?
Well, hopefully you'll hear from us again soon.

Woven Baby Wipe Strips
Ahh I knew that title would catch your eye.
Now that I have your attention, I would like to recall what I did earlier this day. I think we can all agree that Anna's last post was very ... interesting. So, now it's my turn to write an "interesting" post.
Today, my little sister had a softball tournament and I was watching one of her games. I was kind of bored, and wanted something to do. So I did what any normal person would do and I took a handful of grass and tried to weave it. I imagined the moms sitting around me being impressed by my weaving skills and convincing me to start a business where I weave grass and make my creations into all natural dish cloths to sell. I would teach all their daughters how to weave and I'd hire them and pay them and give them iced tea and basically be the best boss ever. Anyways, I snapped back to reality and continued trying to weave. Now, I don't weave. It's never been something I do. I just decided to start all of the sudden while I was watching softball. Unfortunately, even though it was a nice day, there were many breezes and my grass kept flying away. The pieces were too short. I looked for some water so I could kind of "stick" the blades together but it was useless. Then, I remember I had scissors and a big pack of baby wipes in my bag. So I took a baby wipe and cut it into 12, about an inch-wide strips. Since the wet wipes were moist, they would be easy to weave. So I began to weave, and made a 6 strips by 6 strips square. I folded the edges over, and I felt pretty darn proud of myself. I felt as though the woven wipe would have twice the cleaning powers of the old, regular wipe. Unfortunately, I kinda ruined it when a big breeze came and I was unprepared. So I took this strips and realized I could make long confetti pieces with them. So I laid the 12 strips out on the lid of a box that I had with me and put them into the sun beside to me to dry. They didn't dry much but I didn't care. When the game was over, even though our team had lost, I took this strips over and threw them like confetti. It did not work very well.

Nut String...thingy
So, last night I wasn't allowed to watch TV after dinner, so I was all like, "hmm, what am I going to do?" and it came to me; ill put a couple if nuts and croutons on the end of a string, hang it low outside my bedroom window and see if they're gone in the morning! so I got 1crouton, 1 almond, and 2 cashews, and used.... like... if you sew you know what this is, its like a little metal tool used for sewing called a "seam ripper" and its got like a sharp, forked end, but anyways, I used one of those to widdle little holes in the ends of the nuts and crouton, and threaded them onto a pink string. I was careful about where I tied it though; I didn't want some animal to accidentally get their head caught in the string and accidentally hanging themselves. So then I was like, "I'm gonna cut some aluminum shards from a can of Coke and tie them to the end of the string, so like, in night, if something comes along to eat the bait, it will pull the string, making the shards rattle around, waking me up so I can see it.".
Well, nothing rattled that night, but I wasn't disheartened. In the morning, I woke up at a regular time, and checked the string.
It was covered in slug slime, and by the looks of it, the slug tried its very hardest to gnaw at the almond.
i'll check again after school.

That's a slug... hmm.

One More Month Until FREEDOMMM
One more month. I just have to survive one more month until school's out. You'd think that with only one month of school left, teachers would be reducing the workload. But no. Mine and Anna's teacher has decided that she should continue to pile project on top of project until the very end. I feel so close to finishing...and then we get assigned another project. Groannnnnnnn
So close, yet so far.
I'm taking it in bite-size chunks right now, and just hanging in there. It feels like every time I get closer to finishing, there's something new that sends me flying backwards in a flurry of stress and confusion. One day at a time. If I can make one day at a time, I'll get to the end eventually. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm almost there.
Plus, I have little virtual inspiring cat posters to keep me going.
Yes Mr. Cat, I will hang in there!! Thank you.

Going to sleep
So, you know when you, like, go to sleep @ night, you get into bed, and depending on how tired you are, your bed feels like either pretty comfy or like OH MY FRICK'IN GOSH, THIS BED IS AMAZINGLY COMFY!!! And then like sometimes in the morning you wake up, and you just feel so darn comfortable in your bed; the blankets feel warm and soft, and the mattress is super nice and squishy. You feel like never getting up. And then you HAVE to. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhh.
Why can't school start @ like 9:30?

Monday
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but tomorrow is Monday. I feel like I can never fully enjoy Sundays because I know that there is school tomorrow. School. Where we do work. And take tests. And nearly pass out because of boredom. Sighhhhhhhh........
Here is a photo of Debbie Downer from SNL. (Saturday Night Live)
Her face pretty much is exactly how I'm feeling right now.
MONDAYSSSSSSSSS: Don't we all dread them?

What's Up With Pie?
Why aren't there more types of pie? I mean, can you only bake specific things into pie? Like fruit and chocolate? If that's not the case, then why aren't there pies such as:
I mean, I don't know about you, but I would find at least %20 of those pies I listed enjoyable to a remarkable extent. Somebody contact the Canadian Pie Society and see what's holding up their factories of old women with glasses and flower print aprons. I DEMAND results!
- Jello Pie
- Marsh mellow pie
- Ham pie
- Carrot pie
- Tomato and Basil pie
- Pretzel pie
- Sashimi pie
- Mango pie
- Coffee Bean pie
- Cake pie
- Cupcake pie
- Icing pie
- Sprinkle pie
- Shrimp pie
- Lettuce pie
- Fruit SALAD pie
- Spider pie (cause those creepy eight-legged devil spawns are apparently edible)
- Oyster pie

Langley Interview
If you live in Langley, you've probably seen the large group of people sitting outside of the Yorkson housing development showroom. If you have, you've probably wondered, "What's their deal?'
Well, mes amis, Anna and I decided to grab our notebooks and pens and find out. Here's what we learned from the interview.......
First of all, all the people are waiting for condos. Just condos. Most of them have been waiting since Wednesday, April 28th. The showroom doesn't open until Friday, May 6th. In case you don't you, that's a long time.
Everyone has materials like a lawn chair, sleeping supplies, (ie a sleeping bag) snacks, books, earplugs, magazines, and other things like water bottles and decks of cards. Each person also has a number, which is what number they are in line. If you are buying a condo with your spouse, you have the same number. What happens if someone tries to budge in line? Don't fret! A man named Rob (who works there) has a list of everyone's numbers.
Number 3 in line explained some of the rules to us. Here they are:
1. You're allowed to leave, but you can't leave your spot unattended for more than a few hours, otherwise, they'll give it away.
2. You must have someone there at night, whether it's a spouse or someone you hired.
3. You can't sell your spot to someone else, like one person tried to do for $6000! And
4. You are allowed to hire someone to stay in your spot, which is exactly what one person did. They hired two students that are friends of friends of friends (or something) to come and save their place. They pay the girls $10 an hour EACH. That means the girls each make $240 per day! The girls also say that the people who are paying them haven't showed up once. Those girls have got a pretty good thing going, if you ask me!
There are some people who go home and leave their friends and spouse in line, and others who sleep in sleeping bags or tents. Everyone we asked told us that they actually don't mind waiting in line, and that they're all already like a big family! Everyone we talked to also said that they want a condo on the top floor, and that's why they're waiting in line.
One lady, Number 33, says that she came here all the way from South Dakota! She had her stuff all packed up, and when she got an email at 5:04am saying that people were starting to get in line, she grabbed her things and drove all the way to Langley, which is home to her kids and 8 grandchildren. Her brother was waiting in line for her, and her and her husband apparently want "the biggest suite we can get!" In case you're wondering, it's a mix of people; mostly retired that are downsizing.
When asked what they like to do in their spare time while waiting, everyone said chat. They spend most of their time visiting and talking with their future-neighbours.
Interviewing the people was such a great experience for Anna and I, and we both hope that we can do some more interviews soon!
Here's us getting da scoop!! 😉 🍦 💕 📝

Ode to Book Report
Here I sit
Full of wit
With a stomach
like a bottomless pit.
I try to write
But not in spite
About a book
that starts with a fight.
The report is due
All too soon
Add a few more days
Is that too hard to do?
All I can ask
Is to finish the task
If I don't, I'll
Need an oxygen mask
**There's a reason why I don't write poetry, and this is it**😜 😉 😇

Mojito the Rat
Ok so at school today I had a thought; get a rat. I know everybody is just like, "Eww rats, sewer-ry devil spawns!" but you know, rats are just like giant neglected hamsters. The only reason that they are out there sifting through human feces for nourishment is because we don't provide it for them. What do you think all the parrots, iguanas, guinea pigs and ferrets would be doing if we didn't give them everything they needed!
But that's besides the point, the point is, I want to get a rat. It will be a HE, he will be a black rat and he will be named Mojito (I think that's how I should spell it) as in what I think is an alcoholic beverage, like Moe-hee-toe. Anyways, i'll adopt him at birth so I'm the only thing he ever knows and i'll potty train him, train him to run around in the special cloth pockets and tunnels i'll sew in all my clothes and to stick his head out of my pocket when I say, "Out Mojito!". We'll watch TV together, him with his little rat popcorn and me with my regular human popcorn, and he'll like have little ramps everywhere so he can get up onto things, like my kitchen counter, and he can watch me cook, while in a little Ratatouilli costume, and when it's time for bed, i'll teach him to brush his little rat teeth, and he'll curl up on top of my head at night and go to sleep, and in the morning when he wants me to get up he'll jump up and down on my chest, sqeaking like crazy! We will live our lives together. But don't worry Indie, no rat will ever replace you.
Now if only my parents would let me get one. :(

Homework
Hey there readers of our humble little blog. Are you having trouble with the slave papers your teachers send you home with? I AM. I feel like my homework is a living beast, seemingly harmless, but when i'm least expecting it, it latches onto my throat and slowly drains away my life blood until I am nothing more than a pile of fantastic clothes, skin and bones. This is what I usually do when homework is assaulting me. step 1: take out homework. step 2: try to start homework. step 3: get bored and wander off to get a snack. step 4: sit down with the snack to watch whatever my family's watching. step 5: wait until one of my parents asked me what I should really be doing. step 6: hurry away to try and start my homework again. The Cycle Continues.
oh wait, I forgot the part when after I try to start my homework again, instead I go and find Indie and rant about how I have way better things to be doing then math and life preparation.

Adorbsies? or Creepy?
if this were an animal, I would buy one, take it home and cuddle it, but when it was time to go to bed, I would lock it in the cellar and sleep with a chair against the door.
Hipster Dog
Can we just take a moment to enjoy the overwhelming cuteness of this online pic of a hipster dog? .
Oh my gosh. >.<
You're welcome.
