I Need Some Advice From Parents!

Hi guys! Hopefully mothers and fathers.

Since my last blog post (Random Dozen) I've been getting some comments from mothers and I'm trying to convince my mom (Dawn) to allow me to get a Blogger account. Here's the deal, I'm tired of a couple of things

1. Logging in as Dawn
2. Being Dawn in all of my comments
3. Not being myself.

Some of my mom's concerns I understand, and have found a way around them. She doesn't want my name out there, thus my alias "Dear Daughter", so I would make my name on Blogger "Dear Daughter" instead of my actual name. My mom is also worried that I would shut her out of my Blogger account, and make new blogs. I actually am pretty content with this blog, it's hard work to keep it up, and plus my mom has every account name and password to every site that I am in, Facebook, AIM, Email, Deviant Art, Witty Profiles, Girl Scouts, ProBoards, and what ever else I'm on.

So to all of those moms and dads out there what is your advice for a teenager like me? Would you say sure go for it, or would you say no?

Thanks for the help.
Dear Daughter :)

Random Dozen form 2nd Cup of Coffee. Get well soon Lid!!! My brother's sick, so I understand how you must feel.

1. Are you pleasant when you're ill, or are you a grumpy, fussy patient? It depends, but I'm usually pleasant.
2. When you find out that school is canceled (due to inclement weather) what is your gut reaction? On Wednesdays "NOOOOO!! I WANT, NO NEED TO GO TO THE LIBRARY!"
3. What is one domestic skill you wish you could improve? Cleaning the dishes
4. Do you decorate your home for Valentine's Day? Nope, I do decorate the library though :)
5. What song is on your mind today? Hmmmm,


Train Piano Tribute - Hey, Soul Sister - Single


Hey, Soul Sister by Train
6. Do you prefer contemporary movies or classic? Both :) Just watched The Proposal [Blu-ray]
, it was really good!
7. How well do you "compartmentalize" your feelings? For example, how well can you put aside a really trying moment to deal with the immediate situation which is not related to the trying moment, e.g., putting aside a tiff with your spouse in order to finish wallpapering a room. 1. Really long question, 2. Pretty good at it :)
8. What is the first thing that attracted you to your spouse? (Or if you're single, to your best friend.) Hmmm, Emily and I have been best friends for three generations, our grandfathers, both of our parents, and then us :)
9. When was the last time your heart raced? I have no clue!
10. What are your memories of Valentine's Day at school? Not much, since I'm homeschooled and we didn't really do much in elementary school.
11. If you were going to receive candy for Valentine's Day, which would you prefer? The Sweethearts
12. Red or pink? Pink ♥

Story Time!

So for my Girl Scout Gold Award, I started a story time at my library. The first "meeting" was today, and sure we only got two kids, but it was fun. I was really nervous, since I haven't done a story time in my life, I did a book club for tweens, but never a story time. I think it went well, I can't wait until next month!

What have you started in your community?

Till Next Time,

The Super Bowl!

Okay, so as most of you should know, last night was the Super Bowl, and the teams well weren't the best teams out there (like the Giants). But I love the new commericals, they're awesome! But last night feeling bad for the Saints I cheered them on, and guess what they won! I'll give you some backgrond on the Saints. The Saints were started 8 months after the first Super Bowl, so that means that they've been able to play in 43, they've only played in one and that was the 44th Super Bowl, and guess what they won it! My favorite play was when the Saints intercepted the ball and ran all the way to the endzone, a great play! Now my favorite commerical, was the Google commercial. Being a woman it was very cute :)

What was your favorite Superbowl Ad?

Wedding March

Okay, so the only thing that I wanted from my parents for Christmas was a keyboard. I got the keyboard stand, but not the keyboard, it was on back order. I waited like a patient little girl I am, but come January 25th, and it still didn't come in, I asked dad to see where it was, guess what it was on permanent back order, great! The only gift that I wanted for Christmas was on back-order!! Dad then asked me if I wanted to wait, I said sure, so we waited a week, and it was still on back-order, so dad then found another keyboard, and ordered that one. This keyboard came in yesterday, and I've been playing with it ever since!

One of the pre-programmed songs is the Wedding March, I currently can play like four measures, which is pretty cool! So hopefully you'll be seeing a video of me playing the Wedding March or any song on my keyboard!

Random Dozen

This weeks Random Dozen is from 2nd Cup of Coffee, and I have to say Linda does an amazing job with these questions and keeping this up, unlike me who can barely do a Musical Monday. Yes I know, pathetic

1. Do you use the labels various charities send you as “free gifts?” Yup, my mommy did, so when I sent letters I would use her address labels.

2. What is your favorite time of day (or night) for skywatching? Night, I get to see Orion's belt.

3. What is the most adventurous you've ever been with trying a new food? (Keep it G-rated please) Trusting Bob with feeding me, he ended up feeding me fried calamari, I still like it, but I was not a happy little girl when he told me I just ate squid.

4. Have you ever heard a rock sing? (Trust me, there's a reason for this one!) Have you? (can I get the reason now?)

5. If you could learn a language you don't presently speak, what would it be? Spanish, just so I can stop getting emails in Spanish/know what my library director is emailing (really long story to that one, maybe I'll make a blog about it)

6. Al Capone's tombstone read, “My Jesus, Mercy.” If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say? "I didn't really die, if you want to find me, go to my library"

7. If you were a famous musician who was known by one name, like “Cher,” “Sting,” or “Jewel,” what would it be? It doesn’t have to be your first name, but it can be, if you’d like. Troi (like Dianna Troi from Star Trek)

8. Have you ever been inordinately “into” a television show? Possibly, I don't know

9. When you sneeze, do you go big, or do you do that weird “heenh!” sound that makes people think you’re going to blow your brains out? Any other variation we should know about? I make a little squewk, my brother and father make fun of me for it.

10. Do you still read an actual newspaper that you hold in your hands, or do you get your news elsewhere? I read the newspaper, but also watch the news

11. Are you a good speller? Nope, writing my novel helped me, and then sending emails to people like Mrs. T, E, and J I'll get a whole spelling list back, but since using Firefox, they have a little red line appear under a word you misspelled :)

12. At what time each day do you start thinking about Lost lunch? Lost, never, don't really like the show. . .Lunch, usually when I get hungry and I had breakfast already.

Music to go with the day

Happy Groundhog's Day everyone!!!
