SO!!! BORED!

I just got back home. I'm ready to go to bed. But I wanna see The Dog Who Saved Christmas on ABC Family. But I missed the beginning, and the next showing isn't until 10.... NO!!!! So while I wait for that I'm going to watch the Tinkerbell movie that's playing on Disney. (It's already half way through it, but I've already seen it a million times so it's ok.)

Grr....

So I bought this Big Bang Mini game for the DS. And I can't get past this one level in the beginning! If it's hard for me to beat it now I'm never gonna be able to finish it! But I'm going to keep playing it anyway... yup.

Support Your Local Library

Support Your Local Library
January 1st - December, 2010

I can do this. Maybe. I'm thinking I'll do 25 books this year. I recently got another library card (mine had expired over 3 years ago).

Awesome Author

Awesome Author Challenge 2010
January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010

This challenge seems pretty simple. I just have to read 3 (or maybe I'll do more since there's another challenge like this one that I might go for) books by different authors that I've heard about but never read their work.

Reading Challenges

I've decided to try out a few (ok more of a few) Reading Challenges. I didn't read as much as I usually do this year, so I'm hoping this would inspire me? True it didn't help me at all this year, but who says it won't work? I'll make post for each of them whenever I get to it...

Happy Thanks Giving!

I haven't even had turkey yet and I'm ready for bed... hmm... maybe I'll take a nap first....

I Wanna Lay Down (but my cat keeps trying to cuddle!)

For a really really long time (ok a couple of years) I've been looking for that Disney movie Don't Look Under the Bed. For some reason I was thinking about it (as I'm trying to keep my cat away from me). So I checked YouTube. And I found it.... The whole thing. One of them had been on YouTube for over a year. Why couldn't I find it? Why'd I find it now that I was late and had to go to bed soon? I guess I'll see it tomorrow or something....

Hmmm....

So Teddy is doing it again. Or at least she's trying to.
