Friday Favorites

Not much to post this week either. Hmmm... Let's think.
1. I invented a series of Harry Potter quizzes for fun. So far, I'm in Ravenclaw, my wand is composed of spruce and unicorn hair, is 14 1/2 inches, and is completely unyielding, and  the character I most resemble is Hermione Granger. Fun. Maybe I'll post my quizzes here, and you can post your answers in the comments section and then I can grade them for you... I'm getting carried away.
2. We traveled to Aspen Grove on Tuesday. It was Western night, and they had a whole cowboy village with little surprises hidden in it, snow cones, hatchet throwing, gun shooting, and a lot of other random little Western games. It was strangely reminiscent of the ranch, and a lot of fun. Doubtless my mother will post about it.
3. I just devoured a delicious, warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie. Yum!
4. I got to eat waffles with ice-cream for breakfast this week. A delicious combination. We don't have a waffle iron, so we went to our grandma's house to have the waffles. YUM!
5. Last night, I watched a particularly good episode of Psych. Detective O'Hara finally stopped dressing in beige suits! It was fabulous.
6. This was technically last Saturday, but Ginger and I were able to babysit our twin cousins. It was really fun, and surprisingly easy. Basically, we got to go to their house, eat dinner, try Dr. Pepper for the first time, eat some snacks that they had set aside for us, play with some babies, put them to bed, watch TV for the rest of the night, and then get paid for it! I'm not complaining, for sure. I did tell my aunt she didn't need to pay us, though, so I'm not that much of a greedy monster...
Anyway, it was an okay week, all in all.

I feel like such a procrastinator. Bad, bad me. I'll try to post every week from now on.
1. This week, we went to the library. I got a lot of new books to read. It's kept me very happy.
2. I went to "boot camp" with my mom and did a workout. It wasn't bad.
3. I went to Coldstone Creamery with my Young Women's group. It was delicious.
4. Also, we went to a pizzeria at an outdoor mall nearby for dinner yesterday. It was also delicious. Then we walked around, checked out some stores, and I got to check out this new boutique they recently installed. It's my type of place, for sure.
That's all. This week was surprisingly ho-hum.

Saturday Favorites

1. Last week I was able to attend dance camp Monday through Wednesday. It was totally exhausting, but super fun. I think I put in at least 38 1/2 hours of dance in just those three days of the week.
2. After dance camp, we headed out the door for a dude ranch vacation. It was really fun, but I inherited a nickname that I'll never hear the end of. I'd post it, but then it would reveal my true identity, and we wouldn't want that, now would we? 
3. When we got home after vacationing, about half of our extended relatives came to stay with us. Well, down the street, anyway. We got to spend a lot of time with them, and it was really fun.
4. Yesterday my cousins and I embarked on a short expedition to a nearby reservoir, with a little river leading into it. There were some shallow waters for wading, and we all took our shoes off, rolled up our pants, and walked in. We stayed there for a couple hours. I had to give a couple of muddy kids piggy backs and rescue them from what the little kids dubbed as "quicksand" but what was really just soupy mud, but it was still really fun.
5. Yesterday we also attended a picnic/potluck at a park, with our family and some old family friends. It was fun, except for the fact that I went home early and missed seeing Spiderman. My uncle ended up going with just my other cousin instead of with both of us, but oh, well. It was fun anyway.
