Well, I have some news.  First off we received a small package from Target. My Mom says it might be for Dad, but Dad has like never ordered anything from Target. And why would he? There's no guitar stuff there as far as I'm concerned. My Mom said I can't open and do not shake it ( I was shaking it, it was small and padded). On black Friday there was deal, $195 for ipod 4g, (they are usually 199) and get a $40 gift card! I think I may have convinced her her. Or maybe it's just a random thing. We'll see! Today we took a REALLY HARD surprise spelling test to see if we could qualify for something exactly like U.Y.L. After the test most people got around 7 right (there was 20 words). I got 15. Two other peeps got 16, but hey I'm still in the top three! So I guess I get to be in the spelling category. Not real excited. Either on Friday or Monday we are going to see who gets to go into the writing category. I hope I do! I am pretty sure I will, not trying to toot my own horn. We get a writing prompt (a couple sentences beginning a story) and we have to go from there. I think I'll be good.  I finished a MARVELOUS book (I began yesterday, it's 485 pages long. There I am, tooting my own horn again!) Called The Mysterious Bendict Society. There are three books in the series. Here's a picture:

I highly suggest you read it.  Another book is:

Bye!

P.S. I've started a two (2) countdowns on the sidebar. And  a page of book referals.

P.P.S I put two american girls up, and people are emailing about them!

Whew! What fun! I had lots of fun at my Grandma's house. I did rollerblade, (A LOT) though not where I did last time two years ago. Two years ago we just roller bladed in her garage, and this tiny hill that was in it was terrifying to us. I didn't even notice it this time until my cousin pointed it out. This time we took to the side walks (Van Buren is a hilly place) and it was a lot of fun. We also went shopping on Black Friday and I got this!!!!!Sorry for the bad photo, I was too lazy to get my camera and take one, so I just did it on my laptop. It's a sock monkey hat. I also got that super neon shirt that's in the picture too (the quality really limits it's neon awesomeness). I also got a cute jacket from Justice and a minion from Despicable Me shirt from Rue 21. I found out while I was there that I am a fanatic for cherry pie, and that Golden Corral is my second favorite restaurant. I had never been there before, and I had no idea that had literally everything there. From fried chicken to Chinese food to cotton candy. It was pretty good. I also saved from stuff from there for my guineas, including two slices of cucumber, one broccoli floret, one strawberry, and a slice of green bell pepper. Also for the first time I picked up and held my cousin's dog that she has had for like 5 or 6 years.I am so lame. I hold her alot now to make up for it. I am seriously dreading school, especially math. I HATE MATH! My birthday is on a Wednesday this year...Wednesdays are my least my favorite day of the week. Your not close to the weekend, nor fresh from the weekend, and math tests, quizzes, and soggy sandwiches are on that day! Yuck! Fridays are my favorite day of the week because you have the whole weekend ahead of you and hot lunch at school is on that day. Hot lunch is either Chick-Fil A, pizza, Taco Bell, Dickey's, etc. Church is that day too, and I get to go out to eat for dinner! My birthday is coming upon December 7, in 9 days! Eeeeek!!!! This year I want an iTouch 4g. That's all. Okay, okay, I know, three digit price tag, but hey. We got home yesterday pretty late, but that didn't stop us from putting up the Christmas tree and garlands. Update: My mom called me and sounds like I might get one! Yipee! I feel like cooking right now. Did I mention my birthday is not only on a Wednesday but on a school day? Oh well, I get donut holes. BTW, when I was at my Grandma's, we found a beagle that was was the coloring of a tater tot. It had a golden brown covering and white spots. One of it's paw padding was broken, but it was so friendly! I named it Sir Tatertot and it actually responded to us and followed us. It even let Hannah pick it up and carry it...on rollerblades. It loved Ginger her dog, but it had problems. It really wanted to get to know her. It never stopped. Anyway, I can't wait till Christmas! Last year I organized speeches, dances, and singing. In my christmas toe socks, red and green braces, santa hat, and red and white polka dot nightgown. Will never, ever do that again! Last year it was like I had coffee but the caffiene never died down. I think I have grown up this year (not much physically).

P.S. I am putting up one two of my American Girls up for sale today (I have six) soI can get money to buy some things like toms, and maybe a good iTouch case like an OtterBox. And maybe some clothes. Last year I didn't understand why people would want clothes for Christmas. Why not toys? Well this year is different.

P.P.S My Grandma gave me an early bday gift and it was a beautiful, large, and cherry wood jewelery box. I  L.O.V.E it.

    Trouble, trouble, trouble. I have had as troublesome day!! Troublesome days though are very adventurous and this day was no exception. It all started with me waking up and the sun was shining brightly even through my black out curtain. My other window is blacked out with black and blue construction paper.  I think I enjoyed it more when it didn't get light until like 7:00. Any who, I finally excepted that I would not be able to get back to sleep (I am a VERY picky sleeper) so I got up and turned on the light. From then on the day was pretty good. Until I was packing vegetables for my guinea pigs and I realized I didn't have enough. So now I have to ration their food. I washed my guinea pigs' bedding. Then I realized that I had left out their favorite (and only for that matter) pillow. Too late. The cycle was already finished. I put it in there anyway. When the bedding went in the dryer, so did the un-washed pillow. I told my mom. She said my Dad would kill me if he knew. I got a talking-to. Won't do that again! Fourth bad thing happened when I went to my cousin's house and realized that the wood shavings for the guinea pigs that they though they had...weren't there. Luckily my mom was out and got some. Yay mom! Then I realized that I had left my retainer at home!! As I have said before, I am really picky and a retainer is part of my routine. Goodbye retainer for 6 days! It's useless though, it's broken in three spots but I still like it. Good things have happened though! For one, I went to my cousin Hannah's house!! Points for good things? 1,000,000,000!! Also I get to spend the night and ride in the car with her to my Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. My Grandma's birthday is on the 26. She lives in Van Buren, Arkansas. I am looking forward to going to there! Unfortunately no updates on the activity going there. Hannah is bringing her dog, and I'm bringing my two guinea pigs. They live in a C&C cage with fleece, but for the trip I have to bring them in the pet store cage. A Van Buren Thanksgiving tradition for me and my Cuz is rollerblading. One year when we went there Hannah barely knew how to Rollerblade, and I didn't at all. Every day we practiced for at least two hours, and soon we were pros. Serious. Internet is slow there, but I'll probably be so busy I wouldn't even have time to update, even if Internet was fast. What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

Welcome

Welcome to Canary Talk! I have had previous blogs, most of them not lasting longer than a month, but I have had one that thrived pretty well. It was about one of my past hobbies. I outgrew it though and unfortunately due to boredom quit the blog. It's still up though, see if you can find it. I have decided to make this blog to chronicle my life! First, I want to do things that will make me write on this blog forever and ever!!!

   Dedication: I dedicate this blog to my bestest buddy Hannah, who is also my cousin. We have had too many good memories made together to count! She is so talkative, but also a great listener. She also brightens my day. Be sure to check her blog: Beehives and Rosevines

  Promise\Resolution: I make a resolution in almost December (Ever heard of that!? I don't think so!) that I will write on this blog about my life and strive to make it worth reading!!

Savannah:)
