Party

So I'm in the middle of this
Insanely tiring party with eight other girls.  I went to sleep at 3:30 and just woke up.  I am exhausted.  How are you?  All the other nine girls look like so kind of potato infestation, all lined up on the background of multicolored pillows, sheets, and stuffed animals.  This is my friend's Alia's birthday party, my birthday party, a going away party for Alia and Abbie her sister, and a yearbook signing party.  So here I am.  At seven twelve in the morning.  On the morning of Saturday, August 13th, 2014.

Ok goodbye.

Riddle Quest Upon Us!

Onward!
 Alas, a plague of riddles is upon us!  I am Sir Saladin, the only knight in the kingdom who has not quested to vanquish this plague.  Maybe, with the help of you, we can conquer it and free the trapped knights!  There will be a rich prize for the one who completes all the riddles!

Quick!  The first one is upon us!  Grab your thinking cap!

First I am pointy, green, and tall

Though I owe nothing time come for fall.

I'm sticky sweet, but my skin is rough,

I am a kind, my is a clue,

Write it down while I tell the rest to you.

Second I am red or yellow or green.

I belong to a Grammy or Smith or Fuji.

Know my name and the first,

And the answer is yours to quench your thirst.

So put us together,

And we are...

Sweet as sugar

Prickly as a cactus

And as yellow as a buttercup in spring.

We are a mystery - can you solve out puzzle?

Don't loose hope, brave riddler!  If you solve this monster's puzzle it will leave us alone!  Write down your answer and have it ready at the end of the Quest.

Riddle Me Sweet

If you'll look back,
Through the murky depths people call your memory and pluck out that one sticky thing, you may suddenly remember that thing I invented called Riddle Quest.  Here this may refresh your memory.

I have concocted an ingenious plan!!!

A riddle contest…on here!  As you can see on my title, it will be known as "RiddleQuest".

If you are a riddle lover, or want to win treasure (I just said the magic word), you have to solve all the riddles I post until I officially declare the RiddleQuest over.  At the end of the contest, there will be one SUPERhard riddle that will be the key to winning the contest.

Ok, did that bring anything up?  Anyway, I'm going to try this again, but this time the rules are changed slightly.  Here they are for you riddle-lovers or those who just want to know what is in the super-secret prize pack you might get if you are the winner.

1. Read each weekly riddle and try to solve it.
2. Write the all answers neatly and clearly on a piece of paper (keep it secret and safe so no one can steal your answers.  Of course, that would work against them if you answer was wrong.)
3. When the quest is over, put your answer sheet into an envelope.  Label it "RiddleQuest" and put you name on it.
4. *You have a three day window to give the RiddleQuest envelope with your name on it to me or mail it to me.  If you are mailing, be sure to have a date somewhere where I will see it but where the post office won't get mad.  Like maybe on your list.
5. After recording all the answers.

There will be rules to the RiddleQuest, and if you break them you will be disqualified.

1. You must get at least 80% of the riddles right to win.
2. Be sure to turn in* you RiddleQuest envelope (with your name on it - you can't win anonymously) within the three day time window (remember: if mailing include the date!)
3. Do NOT share your answers with ANYONE until the quest is over.  I trust you not to!
4. You may not work together with ANYONE (a repeat of #3)
5. There will be no sneak peaks into the prize box or at the next riddle or at the answer sheet so don't bother trying to get any out of me.

Good luck on you quest…it starts NOW!!!

The List Extended

Most of you will not remember, but
I posted a List of Things You Never Expect to Hear a while ago.  If you haven't seen it (or have and have forgotten) then here is a link to the original post.  However, I didn't stop then.  I have been recording since then (well, not everything, but I live in a CRAZY neighborhood so it filled up pretty fast).  Here is the next thirteen Things You Never Expect to Hear:

1. If there are bats in your grass, be sure to take them out.
2. Q:  What did she just do?  A:  Oh, she just put a dragon on your head, that's all.
3. Oh my gosh, there is a chicken in my sheet!
4. Why do you want to be an insect?
5. I-Hate-White-Rabbits-I-Hate-White-Rabbits-I-Hate-White-Rabbits
6. My cat is the jiggly type.
7. It's tomorrow in the morning.
8. See the grass...KNOW THE POWER OF THE GRASS!!!
9. I'm protecting my armpits!
10. I need more Harrys!
11. Oh look, there's the ant.
12. Yes, here is your mystic ice.
13. CICADA KILLER!!!

Hiya!!!

I know I haven't been that good of a poster recently. 
 That's mainly because I started school and all, yaknow.  This will be my third week.  I'm taking algebra (forget pre algebra) and physical science, which would put me well on my way to be a good marine biologist, like I thought I wanted to be.  However, a serious identity cirisis puts me wondering if an author would be more self-fufilly and truly lead me to happiness.  I know what your thinking.  Why bother?  You're only in 7th grade...heck, you're not even 13 yet and won't be for another 40 days!  (By the way, :-(. ). Well, I'm trying to decide because believe it or not, it is really never to early to start making good habits and become self conscious about your own decisions.

This is where I quote Dr. Seuss (a very good author): is your tongue now numb?

Caps For A Cause (READ!!!)

As some of you know,
I have recently started a new business called Caps for a Cause.  The purpose of this business:  raise money for shelter animals.  How?  We take any donated bottle caps (the plastic ones like from water bottles, milk jugs, orange juice cartons, or gatorade bottles) and make them into pins.  Each of these hand-made and decorated pins cost $2 and 95¢ of that goes in the donation jar.

If you would like to buy and/or help make these pins, email me!   (my email is listed at the top of the screen)  Thanks, and have a great September 2nd!

Labor Day and more

Today is Labor Day,
And I honestly don't know why we take off a day used to celebrate those who work.  That makes no sense whatsoever.  HOWEVER, what does make sense to me is the fact that, according to my careful counting, in 55 days (plus an hour) I will be thirteen!  :-)  I'm SUPERexcited because I can FINALLY get my own Pinterest Account and I think I'm will finally be legally a gmail owner.

Anyway, ever since I was ten I made a little mental list of everything you can look forward to with each birthday:

• At age 10, it's your first double digit age!
• At age 11, you're officially a tween.
• At age 12, you're old enough to babysit and get a red cross license!!!
• At age 13, you can get a Pinterest account.
• At age 14, you're officially a teen.
• At age 15, you're in high school.
• At age 16, you can get a drivers license,
• And at age 18 (I always skip 17) you're a legal adult!

Anyway, 55 days and counting!
