Sorry I haven't posted in *gasp* almost two weeks. Anyway, I am really sad to see Dublin Dr.Pepper leaving. I never even tasted it. :( I'm sure it was waaaayyy better than Dr.Pepper. I'm determined to buy one on Ebay. Tomorrow I have practice for a compition like UIL. I'm in the writing catagory. The only part I'm sweating about is the time limit. Do ya'll have an iphone or ipod? If you do and have an Instagram app, look me up! I'm savannaholeary on there. I really need to go clean my room. But I really don't want to. I'll go see what my mom is doing.

Sorry for the random post! ;)

If you haven't heard of the Lucky Ducks, go read back a post and then go to luckyduckscompany.wix.com It's an obvious work in progress, but it' still fun to look at. Right now I'm watching Hoarders. I love that show! Have ya'll been on Pinterest? It's an awesome site. I'm Savannah on there, same profile pic as on there. See ya'll there!

How good and fresh it feels to be in a new year!! I have my year off to a steady start. I am going to finsih my book this year. I just have to. I deleted a whole bunch of pages. Now instead of having 112 pages, I have 88. I couldn't be happier though! I feel like writing more because I hated that part. I was going in a unrealistic direction, and now I'm back on track. Hooray! I also started with Hannah, at hannaholeary.blogspot.com, and Rachel at http://rarahopkins.blogspot.com/ a duck tape company!! email us at luckyduckscompany@gmail.com. We have very cheap prices. I think duck tape should be spelled duct tape, so that's how I'm going to spell it. I also got that room makeover!! Well, furniture wise. I am really happy. I know the whole year isn't going to be like this, (say hello to school on monday) but I can get through it. I know I can.

I dub thy day the WORST OF THE YEAR!

The day after Christmas is terrible. 364 more days until the time of the year comes again. Depressing? Uh, ya. Anyway I had a great Christmas. I actually went to sleep at 12 and didn't wake up until 8! Amazing! Last year I went to bed at 9, woke up at 12, and didn't go back to sleep. My back has been hurting to, so going to sleep was a Christmas miracle. I got lots of socks this year. 3 fuzzy socks, one pair of adorable knee high socks, and a pair of knit socks with leather on the bottom. I used to not like those, but they really grew on me. I got a hamburger bank, a giant skeleton key, a lava lamp, a polka dot trashcan :), two journals, zebra duck tape, a sock monkey shaped blue chalk board, a game of Funglish, a caboodle, a grabber thing, an apron,various stocking stuffers, and a pair of fluffy booty house slippers. It was a little less than normal, but I love everything so I don't care a bit.  I still got more than I need! This year I bought my mom full sized lotion bottle, (Be Enchanted), and a necklace she has been wanting from Charming Charlie's. I also made a small knitted polar bear for my Nana. We made the turkey this year and it took FOREVER! We finally ate lunch/supper at three. I am so thankful for my family and the many blessings I have. I have exciting news....I am getting a new bed!!!! I have had my bunk bed for over a year, and since my room is smallish it takes up a lot of space. I like it, but I would rather have a normal bed. I am going to sell the bunk bed and get a new bed from ikea. Ya! I can't wait to re-arrange my room. 2011 was a great year. I can't wait to see what 2012 brings!

Well...I feel it, the magical spirit of Christmas! Yesterday we went to the apartment to deliver the gifts and food to the little girl and her family. When we went to pick up the food we realized the police had already done it. So w
we just went straight to the apartment and knocked. No one answered for the longest time and then the little girl came and it sounded like she was going to answer the door. After a lot of yelling in Spanish she opened the door and happily said, "Hola!" Anyway, she seemed really happy when we were leaving about the gifts. Let me just say my mom had some mad Spanish skills and was using them whenever possible. After waiting for about six hours the other O'Learys came (my cousins, uncle, and aunt) and we me, Hannah, mom, and dad set out to the special surprise. I suspected it was Chick-Fil-A and then ice-skating considering my mom told me  to wear two pairs of long socks, a scarf, and a warm jacket. I was blind folded in the car with my own scarf. Lights started getting really bright so I thought we were coming to a lights show since my mom said I could be dressing warmly cause we're going outside. Man, I disappointed! Then we went outside (still blind-folded) and we walked. I heard "Thank you Mister Bailey." in an official voice and I asked if Mr.Bailey had anything to do with it. I smelled salsa ,and Chinese food. I tripped a couple of times because Hannah and my mom forgot to tell me to step up. Suddenly my mom told me to open my eyes. I was staring down on the second floor at the Galleria ice-skating rink with it's huge Christmas tree! I was so excited! First my mom told me I could pick anywhere in the mall to eat before we went ice skating and then get a special drink later. We walked around and I finally chose La Madeline. Me and Hannah shared a bowl of french onion soup and each got our own grilled cheese. Then Hannah was about to put her long socks on when she realized she had thrown one of socks at her brother Chad and forgot it. Luckily I had two pairs on and gave one to Hannah. I got in trouble by my Dad for doing that in a restraunt.  Finally it wasa time to skate. After waiting in line for litterally an hour, it was time. When I I first got on the first thought that was in my mind was "This is not like rollerblading. I cannot do this. The ice was slick and wet and had ridges from skates all over it even though it had barely been like three minutes when the guy  took the line down. I wobbled on knowing this was a disaster. After awhile me and Hannah kind of got the hang of it. We had only been skating once before (me three her seven, different times of course!). It was so crowded. After awhile me and Hannah were doing basic wide spins and weaving at top speed through the crowd. It was fun! Somehow we always met up after we weaved through the crowd. Me and her only fell once. She was doing a spin and lost her balance, and I was doing a spin and someone ran into me. Iceskates do not have brakes. It seemed as though we had been on the ice for days and when the zamboni came it seemed like hours until he was finished. Hannah during those lovely two hours knocked over a little boy, and I whacked a little girl in the eye, on accident of course. After we got of (VERY reluctantly) we went to Sonic and got a cream slush, me blue coconut and her cherry. Then we went home my Aunt Tina was making adorable cupcakes! It was such a fun time. And I'm going to get to see them again on Tuesday (maybe Monday). It was a splendid time.
